Chapter 58: Parking Lot
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
While thinking, Fang Heng rushed back to the generator room on the first floor.
Just as he turned the corner of the corridor, the scene in front of him shocked him.
A large number of zombies appeared in the corridor.
Hao Zhou and the others retreated while using their bows and arrows to fight back.
Where did so many zombies come from?
On a closer look, there were even two corpse vine parasites (vine zombies) mixed in the zombie crowd!
Hao Zhou knew how powerful the vine zombies were.
He led his teammates along the passage as they retreated, using long-range bows and arrows to shoot.
In addition to the close-range vine attack position, the vine zombies are also extremely powerful in defense.
Bows and arrows dealt very limited damage to them, but they could still put them into a stiff state, slowing them down.
From time to time, the two brothers, Kun Ba and Kun Ta would take the risk to dash forward, blow the heads of ordinary zombies with one punch, and then quickly retreat.
The team was in a huge crisis.
The vine zombies were coming up from the basement so quickly?
Fang Heng cursed in his heart.
He quickly took out the focused flamethrower and the fuel bottle in his backpack and quickly connected them.
Under normal circumstances, the focused flamethrower was heavy and required two people to use it at the same time.
Fang Heng’s strength and physique were about twice that of an ordinary person, so he could barely use them by himself.
Fang Heng adjusted the focused flamethrower’s fire valve to the maximum, held the nozzle and shouted.
“Get out of the way!”
Kun Ta and the others were focused on dealing with the zombies in front. Hearing Fang Heng’s shout from behind, they all made way for him.
A figure quickly walked past them and rushed toward the zombies in the passage.
At that moment, they finally noticed Fang Heng, who was striding forward with a focused flamethrower in his hand.
Focus… Focused flamethrower!
This…
Kun Ba immediately recognized the deadly weapon in Fang Heng’s hand.
“He has such a top-tier weapon?”
Kun Ba knew off his mind that fire damage was most effective against these flammable vine zombies!
Fang Heng walked to the front of the team, aimed at the zombies and pulled the trigger.
The flamethrower let out a roar.
Long strips of pale blue high-temperature flames were shot out from the mouth of the flamethrower.
The passage in front of them was instantly covered in flames!
The vine zombies were instantly ignited by the high-temperature flames and burned fiercely.
The group stood behind Fang Heng and watched as the zombies that were burned by the fire slowly fell to the ground.
The vine zombies continued to burn until they were reduced to ashes.
Kun Ta came back to his senses and looked at Fang Heng.
The others did the same.
Now, they finally understood what Fang Heng meant by “good equipment”.
It turned out that the machete and shotgun were just appetizers. The focused flamethrower was the main course!
“Good guy!”
“This guy is showing off his wealth!”
[Hint: You have used the focused flamethrower to kill the corpse vine parasite*2. You have obtained 76 survival points. You have obtained weapon mastery +61.]
[Hint: Your weapon mastery skill level has been upgraded to Level 2.]
[Hint: You have collected a sample of the corpse vine parasite*2. Your side mission 2 (looking for a sample of the corpse vine parasite) completion rate: 4%.]
[Hint: You have obtained a complete evolution crystal *2.]
He was too hasty.
It turned out that the sample collection described in the side mission was actually through killing.
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
He raised his head and saw the complicated gazes from Hao Zhou and company.
They were relieved, somewhat envious and somewhat speechless.
The crisis was not over yet.
There was still an endless stream of ordinary zombies coming out of the passage.
Fang Heng put away the flamethrower and took out his machete.
“Go!”
Hearing that, the two brothers, Kun Ba and Kun Ta, followed Fang Heng and fought their way through the passage.
After a long time, Fang Heng and the others worked together to clean up the wave of zombies in the passage and arrived at the entrance of the stairs on the first floor.
There was also an endless stream of zombies pouring out of the entrance of the stairs downstairs.
The group blocked the entrance of the passage and cleared out wave after wave of zombies.
From time to time, the zombie crowd was mixed with vine zombies.
At this time, Fang Heng would use his focused flamethrower to burn these zombies.
After three or four waves, the number of zombies coming out from the entrance of the passage didn’t decrease but increased instead.
The group’s vitality status dropped rapidly, and Kun Ba couldn’t help but shout.
“Why is there no end to this group of zombies?!”
“The power failure caused the electronic lock at the entrance of the underground parking lot to fail. The zombies probably entered the Community Hospital through the parking lot.”
Hao Zhou held the map of the Community Hospital in his hand and checked the layout, trying to find a solution.
“We can use manual mode to force the entrance of the parking lot to close again.”
Kun Ta punched a zombie’s head.
“Then what are we waiting for?”
“To manually adjust the position of the valve at the entrance of the underground parking lot, we need to go to the basement level one. Under the current situation, the basement level one will be full of zombies!”
The members of the team fell silent at the same time.
Kun Ba looked at his vitality status that was gradually decreasing, gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go! We won’t be able to hold on at this rate!”
As he said that, he poured a mouthful of honey into his mouth to speed up the recovery of his vitality.
“Alright! It’s decided then. Sister Li is going to activate her perception barrier. In any case, think of a way to close the entrance first and then think of a way later.”
“Wait a minute!”
Everyone was about to move when Fang Heng suddenly spoke up to stop them.
He looked at Hao Zhou and said in a deep voice, “Hao Zhou, you guys leave first. I’ll stay behind to blow up the generator set.”
“What? Fang Heng, are you crazy?”
Kun Ta looked at Fang Heng in surprise.
“I don’t agree!”
Hao Zhou frowned.
His answer was also very firm.
“We just need to close the entrance of the underground parking lot. At most, we’ll wait for a while more and wait for Sister Li’s talent skill to finish cooling down before we blow up the generator set and leave this place.”
“Yeah, there’s no need for you to take such a big risk and stay here alone. It’s too dangerous!”
“No, we don’t have enough time.”
Fang Heng shook his head. He had made this decision after careful consideration.
“Our biggest threat comes from the vine zombies in the morgue. My focused flamethrower doesn’t have enough spare fuel. Even without the harassment of the ordinary zombies, we won’t be able to last for more than 30 minutes.”
“Secondly, if we use the flamethrower for a long time, it will cause the building to catch fire. At that time, it will be even harder for us to escape.”
Everyone fell silent again. The current situation was even worse than they had imagined.
“Let’s not delay any longer. I have an idea. I need you to escape through the entrance of the underground garage. After you leave, I will immediately activate the explosives and blow up the generator set.”
“The explosion will attract the zombies and reduce the pressure on you guys.”
Hao Zhou frowned and quickly thought about Fang Heng’s plan.
It sounded like there was no problem with the plan. Even if Fang Heng failed and didn’t blow up the generator set, they had a high chance of escaping.
Except for one thing, Fang Heng’s safety.
“What about you? What are you going to do after you blow up the generator set? How are you going to escape by yourself?”
“I have my ways to survive.”
Fang Heng shrugged and added, “My equipment is not bad.”
“Uh…”
This familiar excuse made Hao Zhou’s expression freeze.
Was this considered ‘not bad’?!
If it was in the latter stages of the game, it would indeed be considered ‘not bad’, but now it was in the early stages of the game. How many days had it been since the game started?
But even so, could he survive such a dangerous situation?
