Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 162: Blood Battle (1)

Old Wang sat on a pile of dirt and smoke a crumpled cigarette. He smokes a mouth before extinguishing it. A few minutes later, he lit it up again. He repeated this several times.

A young man beside him saw him do that and was a little annoyed.

“Old Wang please be quiet, can you save some strength? What is the point?”

Old Wang laughed. As he didn’t brush his teeth in days, you could see the rice grains from lunch in the gaps of his teeth.

“In the past, I had a heavy smoking addiction and would smoke at least two packets a day. Unfortunately, the apocalypse came and this is my last one so I didn’t want to finish it. Let me enjoy it.”

“But you… Just smoke it all, why do all this?” The young man was annoyed and his face even turned red from that.

“Relax.” Old Wang saw how nervous the young man was and smiled, “Your muscles will cramp if you are too nervous and you will lose strength. Then how will you fight later?”

“I…” He relaxed his hands and noticed that it was sweating profusely. He wiped them on his legs and relaxed a little.

“I know that you are afraid, I am too.” Old Wang extinguished it once more and sucked in a deep breath, enjoying the comfort of the smoke circling his body. He then spat it out, “This is my final one, after I finish I would have no more. I might die today so I don’t want to have any of this remaining.”

He was stunned and didn’t expect Old Wang to say that.

“You could have not come.”

They volunteered to be here and those who were afraid of dying could remain in the base.

“Don’t come?” He smiled, “If I didn’t come, I might die tomorrow or the day after. Now that I am here, although it is dangerous and I might die but I had two full meals. Even if I die I won’t be a hungry ghost.”

Old Wang sucked another mouth and the cigarette was mostly finished, “I really didn’t know that rice with sand would actually taste so good.”

The people who were listening to them speak looked forwards and saw three people running over quickly. They were the three strongest in the base now.

Behind them was a dense zombie hoard that revealed their ugly shadows.

Old Wang took a deep breath and tossed the cigarette to the ground before stepping on it. He pulled out the handmade spear that was stuck to the ground beside him and spat on his palms. His smile disappeared and what replaced it was never before seen viciousness.

“Damn, we are going to go all out!”

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Liang Chuyin was placed on the front lines.

Based on the defence layer, the moat had five layers of defence and they were placed in crucial areas. All sorts of holes and obstacles were to make it easier for the survivors to kill.

To prevent these people from collapsing, there would be an evolved at each layer. The evolved here was Liang Chuyin.

The reason she was here was because she was famous among the youngsters during peacetime and it was easy for people to listen to her. The second reason was that the Wind Dancer had AOE damage and it was good against the zombie hoard. One skill would cause a strong visual effect which would easily raise the morale of the survivors.

Seeing the three of them return, Liang Chuyin raised her whip and started to mobilise people.

“Focus, be like a man. Use the courage that you have when you sneak glances at my face and slash these dirty things. Don’t be soft, if not I will call you a soft guy!”

Everyone laughed. There were close to a hundred here and they were spread out. The first row was the first to face danger so even if they smiled, it was quite forced. If a guy was in charge of mobilising them, they would probably have a poker face on.

“To be honest, if you survive today, your lives would be different.”

Liang Chuyin waved her unique whip, “Like me.”

The eyes of many people lit up. Evolve. This phrase was really attractive to everyone, especially these young men. It was no less than a hot and beautiful girl.

Ye Zhongming walked to the front of the formation. Xia Lei and Mo Ye passed through and went to the back of the defensive zone.

“Don’t stay for too long. If the moat is full and zombies start charging over then retreat. Enter the specific spots at the back.”

After giving instructions, Ye Zhongming called the Iron Zombie over and the two of them disappeared.

Liang Chuyin was in charge of this area.

The zombie hoard wasn’t quick so it took a long time from when they first saw the hoard to when the hoard arrived here. This was a huge test to people who were fighting for the first time and many people started to shiver.

There was no way to motivate them now as the hoard had stepped into the moat at the front.

If this was a year after the apocalypse began, the battle would have already started. Archers, Mages, Shooters, Spear Tossers etc would use their skills to deal huge damage.

But not to mention ranged jobs, even guns and bullets were not common. Survivors could only watch as the hoard filled up the moat. They fell, trampled on one another and caused chaos…

Until zombies stepped over the corpses of one another and arrived in front of the soil that protected the group did the survivors attack for the first time.

This was the most orderly and fierce hit!

Sharp weapons cracked as they smashed into skulls. The humans shouted with all their might and that could be heard from all around.

Black blood and brain matter splashed into the sky. Like a small rain, corpses fell to the ground and this signalled the start of death.

Not only of the hoard but also of humans.

Even if their first hit killed dozens of zombies, even if the humans exploded out with huge strength, even if the scientifically proven moat was useful, but these basic humans were weak. After the first strike, death started to appear.

They were inexperienced and used too much strength. They fell into the hoard and were ripped into pieces. Some couldn’t pull their weapons from the skulls and were now barehanded. There were some that didn’t even have strength for one hit and went soft.

The zombies definitely wouldn’t give up such a chance. They used their teeth and claws to claim the lives of people that were once their brothers.

Liang Chuyin didn’t expect the first line to lose so quickly. She bit her teeth and used Shadow Dance, sweeping the zombies around with her whip.

The morale of the survivors skyrocketed because of her. People who wanted to flee stopped in their tracks and started to fight back.

Dozens of zombies fell but the first defence line instantly collapsed.

“Retreat!”

Liang Chuyin stood at the front and fought off the hoard. She couldn’t let too many die or the defence at the back would weaken. That was where the final battle would be.

In just a short while, 20-30 people died. The survivors who heard the order to retreat immediately ran backwards.

Liang Chuyin flung her whip and smashed the head of two zombies before retreating.

But she took two steps before a black figure flew out of the hoard and pounced near her.
