Chapter 82 Zombie Night Attack
Chapter 82 Zombie Night Attack
After arranging the night shifts, Lu Yuan and his four companions checked the doors and windows on the first floor, closed all the curtains, and then found places to rest. Zhong Qiang was on the first shift. He turned on a small flashlight in the corner near the small window on the first floor, ensuring there was some light in the room without disturbing the others.
Lu Yuan was resting near the stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor. Originally, everyone thought this was a safer spot, so they let him, whose combat power was even weaker than Yang Xiao's, rest there. But as soon as he lay down, he heard a very light collision sound from upstairs, but the sound disappeared immediately.
Lu Yuan looked up at the stairwell with a puzzled expression. Gu Nanfeng, who was not far from him, noticed his movement and also glanced down at the stairwell. The stairwell was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly, but Lu Yuan felt as if a pair of eyes were peering down at them.
The other two people who hadn't gone to sleep yet also noticed that something was wrong with Lu Yuan and Gu Nanfeng. They were about to come over, but Gu Nanfeng made a "shh" gesture, telling them to hold their breath for now.
Pei Sihao was in a blind spot in the hallway. Gu Nanfeng gave him a hand gesture, and he immediately understood. He lowered his body even further and slowly moved towards the sofa where Qin Yuan and the others were resting.
After leaving G City, Lu Yuan and the others, as usual, each equipped themselves with guns and Tang swords. Du Wenqing gave them verbal guidance on wilderness survival along the way and specifically reminded them that when they were out and about, they must always keep their supply packs and self-defense weapons within easy reach.
Of course, none of this really affected Lu Yuan himself, since he had a huge number of these things in his space, but he still studied them carefully with the other people.
Now he held the Tang sword he had been preparing to take off to rest back in his hand. Du Wenqing had told him, Zhong Qiang, and Yang Xiao that the three of them had not received professional firearms training and that it was not advisable for them to use firearms when there were companions around, as the possibility of accidentally injuring teammates was too high. Of course, the Tang sword also had a chance of accidentally injuring teammates for them, but the damage from cold weapons was still less than that from firearms.
The noise in the hallway suddenly stopped. Pei Sihao quietly shook Lin Yun awake. Everyone had prepared before going to sleep and didn't sleep too soundly. After Lin Yun woke up, he quietly shook Du Wenqing next to him awake. Du Wenqing then did the same to wake Qin Yuan, who was on the sofa directly below in the hallway.
Qin Yuan barely opened his eyes before he noticed something moving in the hallway. The thing was moving very fast and disappeared from his sight in an instant.
As soon as Du Wenqing and Qin Yuan entered the villa, they led several students on a tour of the house. One reason was to check the villa's security and block up any windows that couldn't provide adequate protection; the other reason was to quickly familiarize them with the house's structure and show them the escape routes.
Most of the villas in this popular homestay are built on the mountainside. These two-story buildings are almost all located at the very top of the mountain. The design is that the front door of the house is on the roadside on the first floor, while the back door is on the roadside on the second floor, making it very convenient for tourists to travel from there.
After inspecting the second floor, they felt it was too dangerous, so they blocked several French windows with wardrobes and decided to return to the first floor. Now, it seems that the safest option for them is to exit through the front door on the first floor.
It was clear that there were zombies lying in ambush on the second floor, but it was unknown how many. Zhong Qiang's night watch position was by the window next to the entrance on the first floor. This was the only small window in the villa's living room area; the other windows were in the guest rooms and kitchen. After Gu Nanfeng gestured to Pei Sihao, he also signaled Zhong Qiang to check the situation outside the window.
The municipal power grid had been out of power for several months, and this town must have lost power even earlier than G City. The entire guesthouse area was dark, with only a crescent moon hanging in the sky. You couldn't see anything at all, but from his position, he could still hear rustling sounds outside, and there were quite a few zombies outside the door on the first floor.
After regaining consciousness, Du Wen quickly surveyed his surroundings. This experienced veteran was more composed than Qin Yuan and Lin Yun. He gave them a wink, and Qin Yuan suddenly jumped up from his sofa, pulling Lu Yuan, who was closest to him in the corner of the hallway, towards the sofa.
Although Lu Yuan was somewhat prepared, his limbs were completely caught off guard. When Qin Yuan pulled him, he tumbled and rolled behind the sofa where Qin Yuan had been sleeping. At that moment, the zombies swarmed down from upstairs. Only under the dim light of Zhong Qiang's flashlight could they see that there were so many zombies upstairs.
The first wave of zombies rushed towards Qin Yuan and Lu Yuan. Judging from their speed and coordination, these zombies should have evolved into second-generation zombies. Qin Yuan immediately drew the Tang sword that Lu Yuan had given him. The Tang sword he had chosen was relatively long, and when he swung it, he could block the movement of zombies within a certain range. In such a small space, it was more practical than shooting heads one by one with a pistol.
Although Qin Yuan had done his best, some zombies still rushed straight at Lu Yuan. He frantically swung his Tang sword and, relying on his experience from fighting zombies with Yang Xiao, managed to sever the head of the zombie that was charging at him.
Seeing this, Qin Yuan did not hesitate. He reached out and pushed Lu Yuan, who was swinging his sword haphazardly, behind him. Almost at the same time, Lin Yun switched places with Lu Yuan and also began to swing his Tang sword.
There were a lot of zombies coming down from upstairs. Fortunately, the stairwell was not wide, and they could only squeeze in three at most in a row. Apart from the first batch of zombies that rushed down the fastest, the rest blocked the stairwell themselves. Those who squeezed up in front were all beheaded by Qin Yuan and Lin Yun with a few strokes of their swords.
After the fighting started inside, the zombies outside stopped hiding. Zhong Qiang didn't even open the curtains on the windows, but you could still see the shadows of several zombies rushing towards them in the light of the flashlight.
During dinner earlier, Du Wenqing had made detailed arrangements for how they would escape from the villa in case of an accident, including how to open the doors and park the car. Now, Lu Yuanjin followed behind Du Wenqing, and together with everyone, they moved to the main entrance on the first floor. As per Du Wenqing's plan, Gu Nanfeng opened the door, and the moment it opened, Du Wenqing used his supernatural abilities to erect two walls on either side of the entrance, blocking the zombies on both sides. Zhong Qiang and Yang Xiao were responsible for clearing the zombies directly in front, while Pei Sihao was responsible for providing cover with his gun. Lu Yuanjin only needed to release one car as soon as possible.
But before the door could even be opened, the zombies smashed through the guesthouse's flimsy little window. Luckily, Zhong Qiang wasn't there anymore, otherwise he might have been the first to be sacrificed. He was still the closest person to that direction; the window was small, and the zombies frantically pushed their way in after breaking it.
Pei Sihao, who was at the far end of the crowd, immediately seized the opportunity to shoot two zombies in the head, relieving Zhong Qiang's worries. The two zombie corpses hung by the window, blocking half of it. The zombies outside were still pushing and shoving, making constant "heh heh" sounds, while the zombies upstairs kept pushing and shoving downstairs.
Du Wenqing gave Gu Nanfeng a look, and Gu Nanfeng quickly grabbed the doorknob and pulled hard. In that instant, Du Wenqing spread his arms, and two more earthen walls extended outward from the walls on both sides of the door.
The two earthen walls that Du Wenqing created with his superpower were not very thick or sturdy, but sweat was already seeping from his forehead, which showed that it had taken a lot of toll on him.
Lu Yuan didn't waste any time and quickly released the armored vehicle they had driven before. He was now very skilled at retrieving things in the space, and the door of the armored vehicle was right between the two walls that Du Wenqing had built.
As soon as Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang finished building the two walls between Du Wenqing's two walls, they rushed up and decapitated several zombies at the main entrance with two slashes. As soon as Lu Yuan's armored vehicle was released, Yang Xiao killed the last zombie in front of him and went up to open the vehicle door.
The group quickly got into the car. Qin Yuan, who was at the back, retreated to the villa entrance and then quickly raised his hand to release a tongue of fire into the house. With the help of Lin Yun's wind-type ability, it was blown directly onto the sofa in the living room. The tongue of fire quickly caught fire upon contact with the fabric sofa.
After they got into the car, Zhong Qiang, who was sitting by the door, quickly closed the door, and Pei Sihao stepped on the gas and drove up the mountain road.
