Chapter 74: The Cold-Blooded End of the World!
"Lin Ge, there's a huge horde of zombies ahead, we can't fight them off!" Yang Xue suddenly exclaimed. Lin Tian was driving the car in front and had also seen them - nearly three hundred zombies had somehow gathered in the middle of the road. At this point, retreating was impossible, as the zombies chasing from behind were no fewer than those in front. "Xue'er, use the machine gun!" Lin Tian said in a deep voice. Yang Xue hesitated, saying: "But I've never used one before!" "Hurry up, you're a sharpshooter, you'll definitely be fine, your strength is even greater than that of an adult male, so you can definitely handle the light machine gun!" Lin Tian said.
Yang Xue gritted her teeth: "Alright!" She put down the submachine gun in her hand and exposed the muzzle of the machine gun out of the window. Lin Tian slightly turned the direction of the car to the left, so that Yang Xue, who was sitting on the right side, could directly aim the muzzle at the zombies rushing towards them from the front of the road!
"Rat-a-tat-tat!" The machine gun fired rapidly, and Yang Xue's terrifying shooting talent was indeed not to be covered up. Except for the first few shots that missed due to recoil, almost all the bullets poured onto the zombies. Row after row of zombies fell unwillingly, some perhaps still alive but their combat effectiveness had been reduced to a low point, no longer posing a threat to Lin Tian and his group. A bullet belt held 150 rounds, and when it was empty, the number of fallen zombies had already exceeded one hundred! This was an extremely frightening statistic, even professional machine gunners might not be able to do better than Yang Xue!
"Ahh, ahh!" The car almost came to a stop as the zombies behind quickly closed in. "Sister, hurry up, the zombies are catching up!" Yang Shi said, firing his automatic rifle non-stop. He was using short bursts of fire, and with each shot, one zombie would get its head blown off. If it were humans being sniped by such a terrifying gunman, they would have fled far away in fear. But zombies aren't human, they're the lowest level of creatures that haven't evolved enough intelligence! After finishing one belt of ammunition, the gun barrel was scorching hot, but Yang Xue didn't have time to notice this as she quickly loaded another belt into the rifle.
The sound of the machine gun rose again, and the zombies were still 30 or 40 meters away from Lin Tian's car. But under Yang Xue's machine gun fire, they could hardly move forward. Row after row of zombies fell to the ground. This belt of bullets finished off another hundred or so zombies!
"Poet Snow, hold on!" Lin shouted loudly, one foot heavily stepped on the accelerator, and the Hummer car, which had almost stopped, suddenly burst out with a terrifying force. The speed soared to 70-80 kilometers per hour within just 30-40 meters!
Bang! Bang!
One by one, the zombies were heavily hit by the Hummer, first their bodies were bent over the hood, and then they were thrown far away. The wheels rolled over the zombies' bodies that had been shot down by Yang Xue, and Lin Tian's superhuman hearing could even pick up the faint cracking sounds of bones breaking!
The zombie's polluted blood stained the entire car's glass to a dark brown color, looking extremely disgusting. If Yang Shiyang and Yang Xue hadn't closed the windows in time, those polluted blood would have even splashed into the car! In order not to block their view, Lin Tian had no choice but to turn on the windshield wipers to wipe away the blood! The terrifying scene made both Yang Shiyang and Yang Xue's faces pale. Although they had terrifying shooting skills, after all, they were just ordinary girls who hadn't experienced a long time in the doomsday world! If given some time, Lin Tian had no doubt that they could become strong like Laura in Resident Evil, but for now, they still needed Lin Tian to rely on!
More than 300 zombies were shot and killed by Yang Xue, over 200, less than 100 left. The road was actually quite wide, after continuously knocking down nearly twenty zombies, the Hummer finally passed through the pile of corpses. When rushing through the zombie crowd, from time to time there would be zombies pouncing on the front, desperately pounding on the glass window, but they hadn't evolved yet, and for a while, they couldn't shatter the solid glass of the military Hummer!
The car continued to move steadily forward, and the occasional few zombies were not enough to cause trouble for the speeding military Hummer. "Shi'er, Xue'er, are you guys okay?!" Lin Tian asked anxiously. "I-I'm fine..." Yang Xue replied, her face pale and gritting her teeth.
"Bang!" A gunshot echoed into Lin Tian's ears, the sound came from ahead. As for this sudden gunshot, Lin Tian wasn't surprised at all. Outside, food was scarce, and only cities still had a large amount of edible food. During the day, zombies were less active, and there weren't many people who dared to rush into the city like him. However, those who were as strong as him and viewed zombies as nothing were even fewer. Those who rushed into the city, a small portion would obtain precious food, but most would become zombies, joining the opposing side of humanity from then on!
"Lin, brother, there's someone ahead!" Yang Shidao said. The zombies won't shoot, at least not in this stage! Lin Tian nodded: "You guys be careful, humans can sometimes be more dangerous than zombies!"
"Help! Help!" A woman rushed out of a building, running and frantically shouting towards Lin Tian's car. Behind her, four zombies emerged! "Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Four consecutive gunshots rang out, and the four zombies behind the woman all had their heads blown off!
"Lin, stop the car and save her!" Yang Shidao exclaimed. Lin Tian shook his head: "Look at her right arm, she's already been bitten by a zombie!" As he spoke, the car sped past the woman without slowing down! "Ah!" A mournful cry echoed from behind, probably that woman had become food for the zombies!
The car was very stuffy, and Yang Shiyang and Yang Xue were both silent. "Are you blaming me for not saving her?" Lin Tian asked calmly. Yang Xue said in a low voice, "Lin Ge, if you use your boundary power, you can save her!" "I'm not a savior, I don't care about everyone in the world. Do you know how much boundary power it takes to clear the virus from her body? At least 100 units are needed. Using 100 units of boundary power to save someone I don't even know, unless my brain was kicked by a donkey! If it were one of you two who got infected, I would naturally try my best to save you, because you're my women. But for others, I'm not that generous!" Lin Tian sighed and said, "It's not that I'm heartless, but there are too many pitiful people in this world. People like her get infected every minute, by the hundreds or thousands. How can I possibly have enough boundary power to save so many people?!"
"Lin Ge," Yang Shi said with his head down, "we shouldn't have doubted you."
Lin Tian shook his head: "It's nothing, you guys haven't experienced the end of the world yet, so there is still a lot of kindness in your hearts, which isn't bad at all. However, you also need to be careful, after experiencing the baptism of the end of the world, many people's darkness in their hearts are magnified, someone who appears to be smiling and kind on the surface may have eaten his wife or child as his last meal!"
"Ugh! Brother Lin, stop talking!" Yang Xue's face turned pale and she spoke with a dry heave. "Brother Lin, can people really become that terrifying? Can they really eat the flesh of their own kind?" Yang Shi was also pale-faced, but her endurance seemed to be stronger than Yang Xue's, as she could still ask questions at this time.
Lin Tian's face sank like water, nodding: "In the future, you may see that if a person is extremely hungry, he is no longer human but a beast. A beast will eat anything to fill its belly! If there were other ways, I really don't want you to enter such an apocalyptic world again!"
