Chapter 5 Zombies Fore and Aft

With zombies in front and behind, Duan Lei immediately looked to the left and right, finding no way out. Just then, a long blast of a car horn came from behind.

Li Chenzhou, following behind them, had also noticed their predicament. This was precisely what he feared most. The ideal situation, of course, was a clear road with a few scattered zombies, allowing him to accumulate enough kill points to exchange for a gun and take down the King Kong.

But now, Duan Lei and the others were undoubtedly in danger. Getting out of the car would mean being torn to pieces by the zombies in front. Staying in the car meant waiting for the King Kong, and that truck wouldn't last two hits.

Therefore, Li Chenzhou immediately pressed down hard on the horn of the SUV and slammed on the gas, crashing into the King Kong...

Attracted by the sound of the horn, the King Kong, which had been chasing the truck, immediately turned around and charged towards the SUV. The zombies in front of the truck also sped up their assault.

"Quick! Get into the truck bed!"

Duan Lei, in the driver's seat, noticed the King Kong turning around. He quickly looked at the zombies in front, rapidly calculated the distance, and immediately opened the door, jumped out, and shouted.

Duan Xue was pleasantly surprised to see that her younger brother's legs had healed. She quickly got out of the car and chased after him.

"Quick! Get down!"

Running to the back of the truck, Duan Lei directly opened the door and shouted at Zhang Hu on top of the truck bed.

Zhang Hu quickly flipped over and landed at the open door of the truck bed, looking confusedly at Duan Lei's legs. Before he could ask anything, Duan Lei had climbed into the truck bed, pushed him inside, then reached out to pull Duan Xue up before slamming the truck bed door shut.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Hu finally reacted and was immediately furious.

"Damn it, you're afraid of dying, so you lured that big guy over, and now you're hiding during a battle on a sinking ship. Is this how you act as a follower? Get the hell out of my way!"

As he spoke, Zhang Hu reached out, intending to pull Duan Lei away.

"What are you trying to do?"

Duan Lei gripped the truck bed door tightly, pushing Zhang Hu with his other hand, and shouted.

"I'm going out to help my brother! We'll die together if we have to!"

Zhang Hu roared.

"If you really go out, you'll drag the boss down with you to die, but I won't let you go out and kill the boss!"

Duan Lei grabbed Zhang Hu's collar and yelled:

"You think you're really helping the boss by going out now? Then tell me, what do you know about that giant zombie? What are its characteristics? How can you kill it?"

Hearing Duan Lei's words, Zhang Hu was stunned. How the hell would he know what kind of zombie that thing was?

"You don't know, do you? I don't know either, but the boss definitely knows!"

Duan Lei glared at Zhang Hu and roared:

"That's why I brought it here to find the boss! I know he must have a way to kill this guy, and all we have to do is wait here, protect ourselves, and that's the biggest help we can give the boss!"

As he spoke, Duan Lei reached out and patted the truck bed door, nodding to signal Zhang Hu to listen to the sounds of the zombies constantly pounding and roaring around them, attracted by his deliberate shouting:

"Hear that? We're also helping the boss tie down some of the zombies. That's all we can do right now! The boss also has a car, so he can assess the situation himself, whether he wants to find a way to kill that big guy or lure it away. That thing can't even catch up to our truck, how could it catch up to the boss's car?

"But if you go out, we're surrounded by zombies. The moment you open the door, you'll be attacked. What will the boss do when he sees you in danger? You'll be using yourself to tie him down! Understand?"

"I..."

Duan Lei's words left Zhang Hu in a daze. He suddenly remembered how, just before, they had been surrounded by twenty or thirty zombies on top of the security room, and he had been terrified and panicked, while Li Chenzhou had been leisurely and content.

Thinking back carefully to Li Chenzhou after the apocalypse, Zhang Hu suddenly felt that what Duan Lei was saying seemed to be right! Without his help, Li Chenzhou might be able to handle the zombies outside on his own.

"You have that much confidence in Bro Chenzhou?"

Zhang Hu asked with a wry smile.

"The boss knows more about this world than we do!"

Duan Lei nodded:

"Since he knows more, then listening to him is definitely right! No matter what happens, try to leave it to the person who knows him best! So we'd better listen to him.

"Even if he tells us to run first, we'd better do it, instead of talking about loyalty, talking about living and dying together. Good intentions don't always lead to good results!"

"I'm starting to understand why Bro Chenzhou took you in as his first follower!"

Zhang Hu murmured:

"You are indeed smarter than me! So, what you said might be right!"

What Duan Lei did was indeed correct, but... it wasn't entirely right! Just like he said himself, good intentions don't always lead to good results!

At the moment Duan Lei closed the truck bed door, Li Chenzhou had already collided with the King Kong.

Although the King Kong was a large two-meter-plus figure, it was still far inferior to the heavy SUV. However, Li Chenzhou did not go all out to hit it.

Because Li Chenzhou knew that he definitely couldn't kill this guy by hitting it with the car. If he accidentally knocked it over to the truck, Zhang Hu and the others would be in danger instead. Therefore, he lightly tapped the brakes at the last moment.

The King Kong was sent flying directly, while Li Chenzhou immediately reversed the car. The zombies from the truck side had already crossed the truck bed and were rushing over. Li Chenzhou's first target was these zombies.

Right now, his kill points were 82, originally 92, but he had used 10 kill points to exchange the potion for Duan Lei because Li Chenzhou was afraid of accidents happening ahead, so he had to fix Duan Lei's legs first.

It was also thanks to that healing potion, otherwise, Duan Lei and Duan Xue could only be trapped in the cab now. The windshield glass could not stop those crazy zombies.

And without Duan Lei, Zhang Hu would naturally not enter the truck bed, so he might have already become zombie food. After all, the height of the truck bed could not be compared with the roof of the security room.

Therefore, that healing potion that restored Duan Lei's legs could be said to be the key to the three of them still being alive!

But what Li Chenzhou didn't expect was that he originally intended to use the horn to attract the King Kong and all the other zombies, because the other zombies would be faster than the King Kong. If he could create some distance, he would have the opportunity to kill the dozen or so ordinary zombies first, gather enough kill points, and then kill the King Kong.

But because Duan Lei wanted to help Li Chenzhou tie down some zombies, now there were only about ten zombies rushing over, and killing them all wouldn't be enough!

Looking at the King Kong, which had already climbed up from the ground and was rushing towards him together with those zombies, Li Chenzhou looked solemn and had to continue to reverse the car and drift in order to turn the car around first.

In this situation, he could only drive the car to lure the King Kong and those zombies away first, and see if he could see some ordinary zombies on the road so that he could gather enough kill points.

But just as he stepped on the brakes, causing the SUV to skid sideways, and before he could completely turn the front of the car, another SUV, chased by a group of zombies, suddenly appeared on the left.

This SUV certainly saw Li Chenzhou, but it didn't slow down at all, and directly crashed into the front of Li Chenzhou's car from the side, causing his car to spin more than half a circle in place, and all the glass in the driver's seat shattered.

Just as it passed Li Chenzhou, someone in that SUV even raised an arm and threw a string of lit firecrackers onto the roof of Li Chenzhou's car.

With crackling sounds, the King Kong and the zombies next to it, as well as the zombies chasing the other SUV, immediately surged up, completely submerging Li Chenzhou's broken and deformed car...
