The collapse of the third defence line and the two after it caught the survivors off guard.
The level two life forms started to appear in the zombie hoard. The three defence lines seemed so weak in front of these strong individuals.
Even the evolved weren’t able to protect the line.
When the five defence lines were broken through, the survivors tossed 200 corpses and even 4 of the evolved were dead.
Xia Lei, Mo Ye, Little Tiger, Park Xiuying and even the injured Liang Chuyin were risking their lives. They covered the remaining people to enter the district.
Ye Zhongming’s party attacked and that helped to stabilise the situation. They relied on the sharpness of Moon Edge and the advantage of their jobs to pose a huge threat to level two lifeforms. No mutated animal could block two consecutive attacks from Moon Edge. Even those famous for defence couldn’t White Grade weapons were not something a level two life form could handle.
When most people were back in the district, the few of them retreated too.
The zombies were like a flood that swallowed all regions apart from the district and they also flowed right in.
At this point, the traps near the entrance started to come into play.
Parts of wheels, wooden clamps, iron springs… These materials were made into traps that easily killed the zombies. Especially when they were really dense, falling down and dying was no different. Those zombies that fell were crushed right away.
“Unfortunately we have too few.” Le Dayuan felt that it was unfortunate. If he had more time and materials then he could create better traps. Unfortunately, their conditions were limited and this was all he could do. Although they could kill many zombies but it didn’t make him satisfied.
“These things are really simple but why didn’t we think about it? The few traps are really smart.” A helper that followed Le Dayuan saw the blueprints for what Ye Zhongming taught them and praised.
“The goal is different.” Le Dayuan clenched his fist. It was good that Ye Zhongming allowed them to come here but he prevented him from fighting which made him a little frustrated, “We did things in the past to earn money. The person who designed the traps did it to kill.”
The few helpers looked at one another and didn’t say a word.
Le Dayuan was different. The cowardly and weak person from before was gone and what replaced it was a Le Dayuan that wanted to fight.
The apocalypse changed people and that could be seen quickly and obviously on his body.
“Let’s go, it is time for us to leave!” Le Dayuan brought his helpers and Li Qiang with his men to leave the district to get back to the base.
When Le Dayuan left, the battle in the district started.
As compared to the battle of attrition outside, this was more individualistic. The battle methods that they humans could use was more varied now.
These incomplete apartments became the best helpers for humans.
After the zombie hoard entered, they split up. Wooden poles, rocks, abandoned cars, sand bags etc formed a maze. The zombies couldn’t push the obstacles and could only start running around aimlessly.
Around these obstacles were hundreds of people.
At this time, iron rods with sharp heads became the best weapon. As long as the survivors stuck their weapons into the eyes of the slow zombies, they would bleed a black liquid and then die.
They were now killing zombies like a game and that increased their morale and made them feel much better.
Everyone was clear that each zombie represented a fortune. When the fortune added up, it might mean an evolution potion.
Everyone was tempted.
Thus an ugly scene appeared. Some people stopped killing and used their daggers to dig the crystals that were close to them.
This caused the kills to drop.
“What are all of you doing? Kill the zombies quickly! We can talk about the crystals later!”
Da Ming stood on a bulldozer and waved the iron rod to kill the zombies. Seeing many people behave like that, his face turned red from rage.
Boss Ye’s instructions were clear, they had to try to kill the zombies quickly so the pressure that they face wouldn’t increase. Only then could the stuff they set up last longer.
If they couldn’t kill the monsters efficiently then when more and more of them gathered, the few of them wouldn’t be able to hold on.
But they forgot about how attractive evolution was to normal people.
.
The battlefield was chaotic. Evolved scolded the teams they led and some even killed a few people. Under such high pressure did the survivors start to fight again.
But the zombie hoard swarmed into the district. Alongside them were many stronger mutated lifeforms. Under such a number, the structures started to break down and the castles started to collapse. Team after team was instantly swallowed.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Ye Zhongming led the Iron Zombie and Yellow Ball to run quickly on the empty streets.
He took a curved path to end up at the back of the hoard.
He found the person he wanted to find there.
Ye Zhongming didn’t think that a team that had never fought mutated lifeforms and zombies before could wipe out 100 thousand zombies. The key to victory today was himself.
The Brain Bug’s target was him but wasn’t his target it too?
The Brain Bug was terrifying. If one wasn’t careful, it would control him and become its nutrition to evolve. But Ye ZHongming had a new idea since he guessed that it existed.
Before this, Ye Zhongming only wanted to use the resources of the new district base to get rich but after he noticed the Brain Bug, his plan changed.
His final goal was not the demon crystals but the Brain Bug itself.
People now might not know about it and they didn’t know that although this being was terrifying, there was something that people craved about it.
Like the Stat Stone, this thing could be eaten.
