Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 261 - : Mutated Zombie Horde

Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Mutated Zombie Horde

The chaotic streets were littered with scrapped vehicles blocking the way, irritating the five men and three women sprinting to the point of breathlessness.

Those damned cars just had to be in the middle of the road. Just a moment ago, because of these obstacles, two of their companions were hit by a fire element mutated zombie following them; seeing their companions engulfed in flames, the remaining people didn’t dare to stop and ran even more desperately.

Although they were all special ability users, outrunning the mutated zombies chasing them while also keeping an eye on the zombies on both sides of the street was a tall order. Their group had dwindled from over thirty to just these eight!

“I can’t, can’t run anymore!”

A girl clutched her right side as she spoke. They had sprinted through many streets but still hadn’t shaken off the zombies behind them. The side stitch made her already exhausted body feel even worse.

“Who, who can anymore? My throat’s about to burst,” a man said, wondering when they would finally reach the base. Surely someone from the base would come to their rescue.

...

“There seems to be someone up ahead!” another man shouted in surprise.

“What good is that? They’ll just be running with us, right?”

“Are you dumb? If there are people, they can hold them off for a while, let me get ahead!” a wheezing voice said.

“Right, they don’t know how many zombies are coming up behind us anyway,” a girl with her hair done up in a bun said as if she had just seen a glimmer of hope, wishing those unfortunate ones ahead could buy them some time to escape.

Xue Wanyi shouted loudly at the people charging toward them, “Run to the side! There’s a trap in the middle!”

This was also what Su Jin and her group had prepared to warn these people about— if they ran into the middle of the formation, they would undoubtedly perish there.

Xue Wanyi’s voice was loud, so as soon as they heard about the trap, the individuals quickly followed Xue Wanyi’s direction and ran along the edge of the road.

However, because the passage on the side was narrow, and they didn’t know where the trap was, there was a moment of jostling as each of them wanted to be the first through the tight corridor.

Su Jin, although still controlling the vines to kill zombies, noticed what was happening with this group.

It seemed this crowd needed to be watched closely.

It wasn’t until they passed through that narrow gap that they saw the scene before them— the ground was covered with corpses of zombies, many of which were the ash-gray mutated zombies. In the middle, several powerful special ability users were continuously killing the remaining scattered zombies.

Had they run into some experts?

But with the increasingly loud roars of the zombies close behind them, they didn’t dare to linger there and instead glanced at Su Jin and her group before continuing to run forward.

“These people seem really powerful,” a slightly older middle-aged woman said. She was a fire element ability user; otherwise, she would have been devoured by zombies during the escape due to lack of stamina.

“Even better, they can hold off the zombies for us a bit longer so we can catch a break up ahead,” a man drenched in sweat said, feeling like he was close to his limit.

The girl clutching her right side glanced at the three armored vehicles parked side by side as she ran past. If their vehicles had been like these three before, they wouldn’t have been destroyed so easily by those mutated zombies.

The rest of the group also noticed the vehicles. They exchanged looks and, gritting their teeth as the horde of zombies that was fast approaching from behind, continued to run forward…

The approaching horde had grown to more than two hundred zombies, with dozens of mutated ones at the front. Seeing the special ability users ahead, the horde roared even more excitedly, and a wind element mutated zombie even flew straight towards them!

When the first zombie entered the Confinement Formation, a faint glow emanated from the surroundings of the formation, signaling to Nie Qing and Lu Hao that the formation had been activated.

Many zombies ran into the Formation laid out by Lu Hao, and although many more were coming from the sides, it significantly eased the pressure on everyone.

Seeing that those people had run away without saying a word, Su Jin felt that it was for the better since they did not have to explain their Formation now.

“All right, Old Lu, now no one will compete with you for the Mutated Zombies, letting you kill to your heart’s content,” Nie Qing said as he went up to meet the challenge. He had found a Level Three Wind Element Zombie, the highest-level zombie of the same element he had encountered so far. The Level Three Wind Element Crystal Core would be his!

“Xiao Jin, be careful!” Lu Hao shouted.

Suddenly, a Fire Element Mutated Zombie attacked from behind Su Jin! Lu Hao wanted to rush over but it was already too late!

With a Water Element Zombie entangling her in front, Su Jin heard Lu Hao’s shout and immediately used her vines to strike the ground, propelling herself away with the force of the vines!

The abilities unleashed by the Fire Element Zombie and the Water Element Zombie collided, but the Fire Element Zombie was clearly of a much higher level, and with a single fiery blow, it smashed the head of the Water Element Zombie into mush!

Yet, the Fire Element Zombie did not rise immediately; instead, it squatted down on the spot and devoured the brains and Crystal Core of the Water Element Zombie.

The relatives who came to support were taken aback by the sight and felt sick to their stomachs.

Huang Yunxiang couldn’t help but feel the urge to vomit once again.

“Mom, why don’t you wash your face with your water?” Lin Xiuyuan suggested, hoping that washing her face might help relieve the nausea.

Seeing that Su Jin was not seriously harmed, Huang Yunxiang gave Lin Xiuyuan a glare and continued to fight with the zombies around her.

Lu Hao had already taken a stand in front of Su Jin; this Level Four Fire Element Zombie should be left to him!

“Be careful!” Su Jin warned from behind.

“Hmm.”

In order to be ready to support Lu Hao at any moment, Su Jin stood behind Lu Hao, fighting the Mutated Zombies around them.

The Confinement Formation had already trapped over a hundred zombies; at the moment, only dozens were left in the area where they were fighting, with still a few scattered zombies running over from the streets on both sides.

Su Jin took out the Venus Flytrap from her space and placed it at the edge of the road ahead, where more Ordinary Zombies were coming; she hoped it would consume more.

Mao Qiqi no longer despised the Venus Flytrap because there were plenty of Mutated Zombies waiting for them now, and besides, there were more inside the Formation.

Just as she looked towards the direction of the Formation, a Metal Element Zombie from within the formation suddenly conjured Iron Spikes and shot them toward Lin Tianzhen, who was utterly unprepared!

“Mom, dodge it!”

Mao Qiqi shouted toward Lin Tianzhen.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianzhen turned back and watched helplessly as an Iron Spike flew towards her forehead. Mao Zhihang wanted to conjure a Metal Shield to block the blow for Lin Tianzhen but it was too late!

Knowing she could not avoid it, Lin Tianzhen closed her eyes, but the pain did not come as she had expected.

She opened her eyes in confusion and saw what seemed like a transparent glass shield in front of her, while the Iron Spike had already fallen to the ground.
