The strong man appeared to be under thirty, his body covered in muscles. He grabbed Chen Letian and pushed him toward the iron gate.
He actually wanted the Zombie to kill Chen Letian!
"Help! Big brother, help! Cough, sob..."
The strong man held on tightly, and Chen Letian could barely say a few words. He struggled to breathe, gasping for air, his face turning red.
He fought back with all his might, but he was no match for the strong man, his face filled with fear.
Fear of death.
Some people couldn't bear to watch, yet no one intervened.
Because everyone was angry at Chen Letian. If it weren't for him, they would have been safe in this building and wouldn't have been besieged by so many Zombies, nearly dying!
These people were ordinary; they could teach Chen Letian a lesson, but they didn't have the guts to kill him.
However, seeing the strong man hand Chen Letian over to the Zombie was something they could accept. Deep down, there was even a sense of excitement and satisfaction.
Such is human nature; it's terrifying upon reflection!
Suddenly!
A cold blade pressed against the strong man's neck, accompanied by an even colder voice.
"Let him go!"
It was Shen Yuan.
He raised the Shovel, the sharpened edge pressed against the strong man's neck without moving an inch.
Very steady!
The strong man's body stiffened, and the coldness around his neck made him hesitate to move. He turned his head to glance at Shen Yuan.
This was someone who was not afraid of trouble and had some strength. Pengcheng was known for its martial arts, producing many Sanda champions. There were numerous martial arts schools in Pengcheng, and this strong man had probably trained for a couple of years, giving him enough skill to be bold. He pushed Chen Letian towards the iron gate while trying to avoid the blade's edge.
He did not believe Shen Yuan would dare to kill him!
After all, just yesterday was a peaceful time. He could not believe that this slightly overweight young man could have the courage to kill!
Especially when he saw Shen Yuan trying to save Chen Letian, he concluded that Shen Yuan was a meddlesome "good person," a "Saint Mother," and he was certain that Shen Yuan would not dare to kill him but would instead go to rescue Chen Letian.
Moreover!
He did not think Shen Yuan could defeat him at all. A young man who looked unimpressive—what could he do even with a sharp shovel in hand?
Sure enough!
Shen Yuan did not attack him but instead forcefully pulled Chen Letian back.
At that moment, the strong man unexpectedly kicked out, aiming to send both Shen Yuan and Chen Letian crashing against the iron gate!
"Looking for death!"
Shen Yuan's gaze turned icy as he suddenly raised the shovel and swung it towards the strong man.
The speed was fast!
The force was great!
Several waves of heat flowed into his body, and his physical condition improved strangely, almost as if he hadn't been neglecting himself for the past two months.
Although the burly man in front of him was at least six feet tall and weighed nearly 200 pounds, making him very imposing and undoubtedly stronger than him, when it came to combat skills...
Shen Yuan had no idea how many fights he had been in since childhood. He had been trained by Red Sister and even received her nod of approval; his combat experience was not something this burly man could compare to.
Burly man?
Ultimately, he was just an ordinary person!
The shovel struck the burly man's upper right arm. It didn't sever the arm but hit the bone, causing intense pain that made the burly man scream and stagger back several steps, looking at Shen Yuan in disbelief.
He didn't expect Shen Yuan to actually dare to strike!
He realized that Shen Yuan had truly put in all his effort! If he hadn't blocked the shovel with his right arm at a critical moment, that blow would have severed his neck!
Shen Yuan frowned and pulled Chen Letian back a few steps.
The shovel wasn't as sharp as he imagined; clearly, after not being used for such a long time, its effectiveness was gradually diminishing, not much better than an ordinary sharpened shovel.
He really wanted to kill that burly man.
Keeping someone like him around would always be a threat; he would definitely harbor resentment and look for opportunities to deal with him!
Unfortunately, there was no chance for that at the moment.
The burly man retreated to a distance. His agility was impressive; if he deliberately avoided confrontation, it would be difficult to take him down. Moreover...
The iron door was shaking, and those Undead—what others referred to as Zombies—were about to burst in!
Others kept their distance, not only from the iron gate but also from the burly man and Shen Yuan.
In the eyes of these ordinary people, both Shen Yuan and the burly man were ruthless individuals who would not hold back, and they needed to be wary.
Although being cautious was of little use.
“Right now, Zombie is locked outside and cannot get in. If Chen Letian gets bitten by a Zombie, he will turn into a Zombie, which is equivalent to letting a Zombie in. We could all potentially get infected and even become Zombie. Have you thought about the consequences of that?”
Shen Yuan scanned everyone, finally giving the burly man a fierce glare, his gaze icy cold.
He ignored the reactions of others; although their looks softened somewhat after hearing his words, there was still more awe than anything else.
There was respect, but more importantly, fear!
Shen Yuan glanced at the Communication Base Station again.
The door of the Base Station was closed and could not be opened from the outside; a Zombie would not be able to break in either. The air conditioning inside the Base Station was set to 24 degrees Celsius year-round to prevent the communication equipment from overheating. Aside from a fist-sized pipe opening, there were no other passages connecting it to the outside world… Chi Qinghua was temporarily safe.
With that, he felt relieved.
Although he could hide inside the Communication Base Station, it would be meaningless due to insufficient water and food; he couldn't last long.
He also couldn't just leave these people outside to become Zombie, nor could he bring them into the Communication Base Station. So the best solution was to block those Zombie outside while they still had time and eliminate them!
“If you don’t want to die, move those things over to block the door!” Shen Yuan pointed at some objects.
The rooftop platform wasn’t empty.
There were bricks, piles of stones, and some unused scrap materials, such as damaged communication equipment like transmission devices and signal amplifiers.
These devices are heavy, each weighing at least thirty to forty pounds.
Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, the others finally came to their senses and began moving various items over.
However, they still did not dare to approach the iron door, throwing things from several meters away. Some couldn't even throw their items close to the door, rendering them ineffective for blocking it.
Only two brave individuals, under Shen Yuan's direction, moved within two meters of the iron door and threw their items to block it.
A large pile of objects stacked together effectively blocked half of the iron door... the result was quite good.
"Boss, we need to take care of those Zombies first! Otherwise, they'll rush in sooner or later!" Chen Letian gasped beside Shen Yuan.
In just a few minutes, he changed how he addressed Shen Yuan, sounding more familiar. This guy was not only talkative but also quite friendly. His thick skin... was much stronger than Shen Yuan's!
Shen Yuan nodded lightly.
However, no one dared to step forward because they were all afraid of being attacked by the Zombies. They even wondered that if they managed to kill the Zombies, would they turn into Zombies themselves if they got splattered with Zombie blood or other bodily fluids?
Precautions had to be taken.
Shen Yuan shared the same concerns, so he did not recklessly approach but instead moved to the side.
Then he raised his Shovel and swung it forcefully.
