The person wearing a gray-black jacket had already been swept into a cluster of broadleaf plants by the Dark Green Plant Branch. If he hesitated for even a second longer, he would surely be drained to nothing!
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Fatty didn't have time to think carefully. He jumped up from the ground and flew directly onto the Dark Green Plant Branch.
Holding onto a broken piece of wood in his hand seemed useless, so Fatty quickly swung his arm to lighten his load.
Due to his size limitations, Fatty could only grip the Dark Green Plant Branch, which was as thick as a calf, with both hands, trying to influence its movement. However, his weight seemed insignificant in the eyes of the branch.
The dark green branch continued to retract into the broadleaf pile, and with no other options, Fatty suddenly stretched out his neck and bit down on the Dark Green Plant Branch without thinking.
Fatty put all his strength into that bite, and fortunately, his teeth were strong enough to tear off a chunk of sticky substance.
Fatty was secretly surprised; he thought the Dark Green Plant Branch would be similar to the Deadwood below, at least having a structure like wood that was quite solid. To his surprise, when he bit down, it felt like an elongated cucumber—juicy and watery!
He spat out what was in his mouth and immediately prepared for a second bite. His plan was simple: he would eat this oversized cucumber to rescue Brother Nan.
After being attacked by Fatty's bite, the Dark Green Plant Branch seemed to feel pain and began to shake uncontrollably. This shake caused both the man in the gray-black jacket and Fatty to fall to the ground.
Fatty landed hard on his backside but had no time to care about that. He rushed over to Jacket Man's side and shouted, "Brother Nan, are you okay?"
The Dark Green Plant Branch recoiled like a frightened mouse after being attacked, retreating behind the broadleaf pile and no longer showing itself. At that moment, the Humanoid Withered Wood seemed to receive some kind of command and rushed wildly toward Fatty and Brother Nan.
Fatty turned around and saw the dangerous scene. He couldn't care less about Brother Nan's condition and immediately tried to lift him up to escape. However, they had already penetrated deep behind enemy lines, making it difficult to get away safely now.
Fatty had no weapons left to defend himself with, as his Submachine Gun had been knocked away by Deadwood outside the armored vehicle.
Fatty frowned in distress. "Damn it! Why is it so hard to be a hero?"
Jacket Man lay on the ground without any movement. If Fatty guessed correctly, he must have had something resembling flower petals stuffed in his mouth. Although Fatty didn't know exactly what that substance did, it was definitely related to Brother Li Dapeng's previous unconsciousness and Brother Nan's current state!
Resolutely clenching his fists, Fatty shouted, "Let me show you my tough skills!"
Fatty spread his legs apart, standing in a stance to increase the stability of his lower body, while his upper body expanded into a double-fist guard position to protect his vital points, hoping to buy some time for a prolonged struggle. Clearly, Fatty had no intention of retreating now; after all, dealing with the earlier Dark Green Plant Branch was manageable, but facing this Humanoid Withered Wood was going to be extremely difficult.
The Humanoid Withered Wood, with its arms as thin as threads, did not aim for Fatty's vital points but instead rushed toward Fatty's lower body at lightning speed, still intent on entangling him.
Previously, behind the armored vehicle, Fatty had been caught off guard due to a lack of preparation. Now, however, he was ready and would not easily fall into a trap again.
Fatty swayed his body, dodging left and right with his sturdy legs. Then, seizing the moment, he stomped down hard with one foot, directly pinning one of the Humanoid Withered Wood's arms beneath him.
"Underestimating me, huh!" Fatty thought to himself as he bent down and grasped the long arm tightly, aiming to sever it. However, once he grabbed hold of the Deadwood's long arm, it unexpectedly slithered up his arm like a long snake.
"What the hell!" Fatty exclaimed in frustration. "I didn't expect you to be like a monkey, climbing up anything that resembles a tree!"
Realizing his mistake, Fatty attempted to pull back. But the Humanoid Withered Wood's long arm was relentless and quickly climbed up toward Fatty's chest.
The situation now was no different from when he was beside the armored vehicle; once at a disadvantage, Fatty truly had no chance of turning things around.
Fatty hurriedly tried to pry off the Deadwood's long arm with both hands, but it was futile. Within three seconds, he would be wrapped up like a large rice dumpling again.
Glancing back at Li Nan lying on the ground, Fatty felt a wave of despair wash over him. "Looks like I'm really going down this time!"
Just as Fatty was losing hope, someone suddenly burst through the outer door of the botanical garden. To Fatty's surprise, it was Li Dapeng.
Fatty shouted urgently, "Get out of here! Why are you back?"
Li Dapeng seemed unfazed as he gripped his Walther Pistol and raised it to fire several quick shots directly at the Humanoid Withered Wood.
However, Li Dapeng's shots did not inflict any real damage on the Humanoid Withered Wood. Still, it clearly sensed the threat from behind and immediately withdrew its other long arm to charge at Li Dapeng.
Li Dapeng had a Submachine Gun slung over his back. Seeing that Fatty's situation had eased slightly, he shouted back, "I brought your buddy back!"
After the shout, Li Dapeng gathered all his strength and swung his arms wildly, sending the Submachine Gun soaring through the air, aimed directly at the trapped Fatty.
Seeing this, Fatty couldn't help but exclaim, "Good, let's see the power of our brother!"
Fatty spotted the Submachine Gun falling from Ling Kong and immediately swayed his body to catch the gun with his large belly. Then, he kicked off with one foot, landing in the hands that were not yet fully controlled by Deadwood.
With the Submachine Gun in hand, Fatty was overjoyed. He quickly pulled back the bolt, holding the gun with one hand while resting the butt against his shoulder. A few quick shots fired off into the air.
The power of the Submachine Gun lay in its rapid-fire capability; even if the opponent were made of iron, hundreds of bullets could still pierce through.
Fatty aimed at the Humanoid Withered Wood, and shells flew out rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it was reduced to a pile of shattered wood. The long arm that had been rushing towards Li Dapeng also paused mid-air before crashing down to the ground as the Humanoid Withered Wood was turned to dust.
Gunfire erupted as if it were free, and the sound of bullets ricocheting spread throughout the botanical garden, making it seem quite lively.
Standing at the entrance of the botanical garden, Li Dapeng held a Walther pistol in his right hand and had his Vigo Knife secured at his waist with remarkable calmness, appearing completely different from the frightened child he had been earlier.
Fatty grinned and said, "Today you saved my life; I owe you one!"
Li Dapeng dismissed it and questioned, "Why didn't you escape together just now?"
At that moment, Fatty remembered Nan Ge behind him. He turned around to support the gray-black Jacket Man and said to Li Dapeng, "Nan Ge was in danger; I couldn't just run away alone!"
Seeing that Fatty was helping Li Nan, Li Dapeng's mind raced. "It's him! He personally killed Xin Qiqi. Wasn't I looking for revenge? This is a perfect opportunity!"
Li Dapeng's emotions surged. Earlier, when he fled from the botanical garden, he had been terrified. If the shock from encountering zombies represented a tangible fear rooted in reality, then this Humanoid Withered Wood embodied an almost absurd abstract dread. Was the outside world really that terrifying? With an endless Zombie Tide and mysterious mutated species lurking about—if it were Li Nan enduring all this instead of me, what would he do?
Standing outside the botanical garden, Li Dapeng felt unprecedented torment in both body and mind. He needed to muster the courage expected of a man rather than act like a twelve-year-old child fleeing from fear. After this arduous mental journey, Li Dapeng finally solidified his resolve: in this apocalypse, cowards would never have a chance to survive!
"I must be strong; I want to be a man!" With determination set, Li Dapeng calmly returned to the armored vehicle to retrieve Fatty's weapon and prepared himself to brave danger once more.
At this moment, Li Dapeng was facing Fatty, who was walking towards him, supporting a man with a drooping head on his shoulder. From the man's coat, Li Dapeng could tell that he was Li Nan.
The Walther pistol in Li Dapeng's hand had not yet cooled down, and he immediately raised it again, aiming directly at Fatty.
Fatty looked up and saw Li Dapeng pointing the gun, and he shouted, "What do you want to do?"
Li Dapeng did not respond; instead, he pulled the trigger. The mechanical reaction device in the gun sent out a bullet with a diameter of 17 millimeters, which shot forth with a whoosh towards Fatty's direction.
Fatty was taken aback as the bullet swerved to the left just as it exited the barrel, seemingly aimed at Nan Ge. Just when Fatty thought the target was Nan Ge, the bullet veered in another direction.
"What the hell is going on?" Just as Fatty was trying to figure it out, the bullet from the Walther pistol had already zipped past behind Nan Ge and hit its target squarely.
Hearing the sound of the bullet hitting something, Fatty was astonished. When he turned around, he saw another Humanoid Withered Wood reaching out with a long arm.
Fatty couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. If it weren't for Li Dapeng's shot just now, he and Nan Ge would have been in serious trouble.
At this moment, Li Dapeng looked around while holding his gun and shouted to Fatty, "Run! There’s more than one monster now!"
As Li Dapeng spoke, over a hundred Humanoid Withered Woods emerged from various corners of the botanical garden, all heading towards Fatty and the others!
