Chapter Thirty-One: Breakthrough
Ming Junwei and Bai Yudong had also noticed a few people climbing up. Although neither of them was in the mood for a grand rescue, the truck came to a sudden stop and stalled. Ming Junwei took some time to restart the engine. In that brief moment, the zombies behind them closed in again, and the other two took advantage of Jiang He and the others being momentarily distracted to jump into the truck bed.
Everyone in the truck bed was stunned by Chao Yifan's actions, leaving both groups frozen in place for a moment.
The truck's engine roared to life, sputtering forward a few steps before reversing again.
There were too many zombies pouring in from the office area, preventing the truck from gaining speed, so Ming Junwei chose to retrace their route. After all, they were not far from the intersection, and there was a downhill slope to help them. The fuel gauge began to flicker, and Ming Junwei silently prayed that nothing would go wrong at this critical moment.
The zombies from the Living Area were crushed under the truck’s wheels, but there were still plenty on either side. After a brief chaos, the zombies roared and charged forward once more.
The young man kicked off by Chao Yifan was tackled by a zombie, blocking the rear of the truck. The truck roared as it rolled back, tires splattering blood on either side, finally moving slowly out of the fray.
A yellow figure darted out from the Green Belt, landing steadily in the truck bed—Yellow Dog shook its ears vigorously.
In the truck bed, aside from Jiang He who was still dazed, everyone lunged toward Yellow Dog, eager to snatch away the two rifles.
Chao Yifan gripped his dagger tightly and swung it at an approaching man. The man quickly dodged but was provoked into anger, swinging a wrench back at him.
The Russian Brothers were skilled fighters; their moves were extraordinary. With just a few deft maneuvers, they took down several attackers with ease.
Chao Yifan sheathed his dagger and snatched one of the rifles from Yellow Dog's mouth, tossing it to Big Mousy.
The three of them raised their guns, herding the remaining four into one corner of the truck bed. Chao Yifan pulled back the bolt and was ready to fire.
Jiang He snapped back to reality and grabbed him: "What are you doing?"
Chao Yifan glanced at him inexplicably and retorted, "What do you want me to do?"
"You are..." Jiang He stammered, momentarily at a loss for words.
Chao Yifan shook off his hand and aimed the gun again at the four people crouching with their heads covered.
The truck came to a sudden halt, causing those inside to stumble forward. The four sprang into action; three lunged at the gunmen, while one reached out and grabbed Song Yao's hair, yanking her toward him.
The sudden turn of events caught the Russian Brothers off guard, but they reacted quickly. Though they stumbled forward due to inertia, they managed to steady themselves in time, delivering powerful kicks and punches that took down two of their attackers. Meanwhile, Chao Yifan was thrown off the truck, and the man who lunged at him lost his footing and fell as well.
The truck finally pushed its way out of the Horde, but it had come to a complete stop. Ming Junwei and Bai Yudong jumped from the front of the truck and ran away. Looking back, they saw that those inside were still locked in a struggle, while a Zombie lingered just ten meters away, refusing to disperse.
Bai Yudong rushed over and pushed aside the man who was on top of Chao Yifan, then pulled Chao Yifan up. Without wiping the blood from his face, Chao Yifan steadied his gun and fired.
The sound of gunfire echoed as bullets erupted from the barrel. The man at close range had no time to react before he was torn apart by the bullets, collapsing into a pool of blood.
The man holding Song Yao screamed as he raised a crowbar to strike her. Jiang He and Little Russian lunged simultaneously, tackling him down into the Green Belt. Song Yao was caught in the chaos, unable to move as she was dragged down with him.
In the confusion, someone accidentally stepped on Yellow Dog's tail. Yellow Dog yelped in pain and bolted out of the truck with its tail between its legs.
Ming Junwei found himself overwhelmed by the chaos around him. He snatched the Rifle from Chao Yifan's hands and fired at the approaching Zombies.
Big Mousy swung his rifle butt at two people in the truck, then quickly jumped down to clear out several Zombies that had leaped into the Green Belt from the side of the truck.
The Green Belt was now a mess with four people piled on top of each other. The man who had fallen still clutched Song Yao tightly around her neck, refusing to let go. Jiang He grabbed his arm in an attempt to pry it away but found it slick with sweat and impossible to shake off. Despite Jiang He's punches landing on his face, he remained unmoved. Little Russian rolled over nearby; his pistol had fallen aside but he didn’t bother to retrieve it as he hurried over to help Jiang He wrestle with the man's arm.
Ming Junwei and Big Mousy provided cover fire while retreating, shouting as they moved.
Bai Yudong picked up a fallen crowbar and rushed to the back of the vehicle, smashing the heads of several Zombies. He managed to assist Big Mousy, and the other two in the vehicle quickly jumped down as well.
Rifle was running low on ammunition, unable to hold back the tide of Zombies surging forward. Seeing that the few still fighting in the Green Belt were about to be surrounded, Ming Junwei felt a surge of panic.
Little Russian also went all out, thrusting his hands into a man's arm and twisting with force. There was a sharp crack as he broke the man's arm. Jiang He, noticing that Song Yao had escaped danger, snapped back to reality, reached out to pull up the coughing Song Yao, and bent down to crawl under the vehicle, emerging from the rear.
Little Russian followed closely behind, snatching the crowbar from the man's hand and smashing two Zombie skulls to break through the encirclement.
Chao Yifan picked up Little Russian's dropped handgun, removed the magazine to check the bullets, reloaded it, and fixed a hawk-like gaze on the two people running out behind Big Mousy before silently following them.
Seeing that everyone had made it out, Ming Junwei finally felt relieved. He emptied his magazine and called for everyone to hurry toward the intersection.
Little Russian quickly caught up with Jiang He, helping him support Song Yao as they made their escape.
Big Mousy was also running low on bullets, but fortunately, Bai Yudong was there to assist. The two swung their weapons, knocking over several Zombies that had circled around the back of the vehicle. Once they saw that everyone had fled, they no longer lingered in battle and hurried after the main group.
The man with the broken arm didn’t have time to escape; he rolled under the vehicle. However, a Zombie followed closely behind and bit into his Achilles tendon. The man screamed in agony, attracting more Zombies that crawled under the vehicle. Moments later, silence fell.
Two others followed Big Mousy as they jumped out.
