Chapter 74: A hole
The bullet hit Alex’s brow bone!
“Good marksmanship!”
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and gave a compliment.
The unconscious Alex ended up with a white mark on his forehead.
After being shot, Alex immediately showed signs of waking up.
The vines on his body squirmed rapidly.
“Bang!”
Chen Yu raised his hand and pulled the trigger.
The bullet hit Alex on the cheek.
Alex had completely woken up.
He supported himself with one hand and slowly stood up. Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at Fang Heng and the others.
At the same time, Sister Li activated her perception barrier at once, blocking the senses of the ordinary zombies around her.
Alex was a Tier 4 mutated zombie, so he wasn’t affected by the perception barrier.
He locked his eyes on Fang Heng and the others, then quickly chased after Chen Yu.
“Run!”
Fang Heng shouted and everyone turned around to run!
Alex continued to chase until he was led to the central intersection that Fang Heng had planned out beforehand.
Hao Zhou stared at the position where Alex was moving.
“He’s coming!”
Hao Zhou pressed the detonation button for the small explosives.
“Boom!!!!”
The twelve small explosives that had been installed at the central intersection exploded at the same time!
The timing was just right.
The explosion point was triggered perfectly!
Fang Heng was also staring at Alex.
He was glad to have met Hao Zhou, a genius in explosives!
In an instant, a huge explosion resounded throughout Hope Town.
The ground shook violently.
Almost all the zombies in the town turned to look in the direction of the explosion at the same time.
They hesitated for about half a second.
Then, they turned around and staggered toward the direction of the explosion.
Although they were prepared, the loud explosion still made Chen Yu’s ears ring for a short while.
He felt his feet shake, and he couldn’t help but stagger.
When he regained his balance, he saw yellow dust in front of him.
His vision was blocked, so he couldn’t see clearly what was happening inside the dust, let alone confirm Alex’s condition.
Chen Yu raised his vigilance.
He also noticed that the explosion was perfect, it was better than he had expected!
However, it was impossible to kill Alex with the explosion alone!
At most, it would only injure Alex.
His ears were filled with the whimpering sounds of zombies.
Chen Yu turned his head again and saw the zombies rushing toward him from all directions.
“Not good!”
The explosion was too successful, but it caused the zombies to gather here frantically.
If they didn’t run now, they would be surrounded by the zombies!
“Run! If we don’t run now, it would be too…”
While speaking, Chen Yu saw the blurry scene in the smoke, and the second half of his sentence was stuck in his throat.
Eh? Where’s Alex?
Where is he?
Chen Yu was still in a daze when he saw Fang Heng shouting.
“Chen Yu! Quick! Bring your men and follow me!”
Chen Yu turned his head and saw Fang Heng take the lead to rush into the smoke.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Heng and Hao Zhou’s group disappeared into the smoke.
Where were they going?
What was going on?
Chen Yu followed them and took two quick steps forward. He couldn’t help but be stunned.
It was a hole!!
The ground in the middle of the intersection had been blasted into a huge hole by the explosives.
Alex had fallen into the deep hole because the ground had collapsed from the explosion.
It was pitch black below and it was hard to see what was there.
“Quick!! Don’t just stand there! Come over together!”
Chen Yu turned his head and saw that the manhole cover of a sewer not far away had been lifted.
Hao Zhou stuck half of his head out of the sewer and waved at them.
Chen Yu suddenly understood.
That’s right, the hole was part of their plan!
The explosion itself was not to kill Alex but to create a hole in the ground.
But what happened next? What should he do next?
“Captain? What should we do?”
“Quick! Let’s go into the sewer together!”
Seeing that the surrounding zombies were about to gather over, Chen Yu didn’t have time to think about these things.
He commanded his team members to quickly follow him and hide in the sewer.
Chen Yu was in charge of the rear. He was the last one to climb into the sewer and close the manhole cover.
Just as he climbed down the ladder and landed on the ground, an indescribable stench assaulted his nostrils.
Seeing the black face masks on the faces of Fang Heng and his team, Chen Yu suddenly understood something.
So the face masks were used at this time!
However, Chen Yu was not in the mood to take the face mask from his backpack.
His gaze quickly moved away from Fang Heng and the others to look for Alex in the sewer.
Where was Alex?
What was that?!
Another hole!?
Why was there such a big hole in the ground of the sewer?!
Chen Yu could not help but raise his head.
The hole in the ground that collapsed earlier was right above this hole.
After the explosion, Alex, who was supposed to be at the centre of the intersection, would have fallen straight into the deep hole in the sewer!
All of this was Fang Heng’s plan?
Chen Yu was a little dumbfounded.
He walked quickly to the hole and looked down.
The hole was at least seven to eight meters deep!
“Roar!!!”
Alex, who had fallen into the deep hole, let out an angry roar.
“Be careful!”
While he was distracted, Chen Yu heard a loud shout.
Fang Heng pulled Chen Yu away from the hole.
“Chi Chi Chi!!!”
Looking down, a few vines shot out from the hole and stabbed into the spot where Chen Yu was standing.
More vines came out from the hole.
The vines stuck into the crack.
Alex was using the vines that extended from his body to find a point of leverage!
He was trying to escape!
“You still want to run?”
Kun Ta and Kun Ba each carried a barrel of gasoline and poured it on the vines. Then, they threw the remaining barrels into the hole and smashed them on Alex’s body.
“Roar!!!!”
Alex let out another roar. The vines that extended from his body contracted rapidly, and his body was pulled towards the top of the hole.
“Get out of the way! I’ll do it!”
Fang Heng took out the focused flamethrower, took half a step forward and pressed the trigger as he aimed at the vines on the ground.
“Boom!!!!”
Thin blue tongues of flames spat out.
The vines were flammable, to begin with, not to mention that there was a layer of gasoline attached to them!
The flames burned along the vines and spread to Alex’s body in the blink of an eye.
“Roar!!!”
Alex, who was using the contraction of the vines to stay in mid-air, was covered in flames. He let out a howl and fell into the hole once again!
This…
So this was Fang Heng’s plan. He was using the hole in the sewer to create a fire pit and burn the Tier 4 mutated zombie Alex to death!
From the explosion to the deep hole to the fire pit…
All of this was orchestrated by them!
It was too shocking!
This huge hole was dug by his team?
What the hell!
How long would it take to dig such a huge hole?
It had only been half a day since the federation issued the mission to the outside world?
How did they do it?
Even if they didn’t eat or drink, they couldn’t dig such a huge hole continuously!
Could it be that one of their talent skills was an excavator?
Chen Yu turned around and looked at Fang Heng in shock.
He noticed that Fang Heng was looking up, and a smile of success appeared on his face.
What was that guy looking at?
With doubt, Chen Yu subconsciously looked up and followed Fang Heng’s gaze to the sky..
