The Shangcheng County Public Security Bureau is a very ordinary and slightly old six-story building. If you must say it has a style, it is a strong x-country public security bureau style. The white building is painted with blue stripes, and the shining national emblem in front of the main gate is inscribed with the Chinese characters "公安" and the English word "police" on both sides.
The building is surrounded by a wall, and several police cars are scattered in the large cement yard. It may be because the previous sirens attracted the zombies in the courtyard, there were not many zombies on the empty concrete ground, and only less than twenty slow-moving companions were still wandering aimlessly in place.
Huan Chu and Chen Wenwen hid with Hei Zi in the shade of a tree on the inner side of the gate, quietly observing the situation. Even in his hometown where he was most familiar with, Huan Chu couldn't figure out the location of the police station's armory, let alone the county of Shangcheng where he had never been before. To get firearms and ammunition, you must first check the location map in the lobby on the first floor.
Glancing at the six-story building, Yang Tou made up his mind. He greeted the woman and the dog next to him, signaling them to follow, and then crouched down and ran towards the police station. Obviously, this time Huan Chu's luck was not as good as before. He had just taken a step and alerted the zombies lurking ahead. Several zombies wearing joint defense team uniforms turned around and charged straight towards the two people and a dog.
Two people and a dog came all the way from the capital, having already been baptized by blood and corpses, naturally fearless. Huan Chu, holding the machete still dripping with black blood in his hand, rushed towards the zombies. Chen Wenwen also refused to back down, pressing her hand against the water and striking a posture as if to perform a sword cut, then followed Huan Chu forward. After a long battle with zombies, Hei Zi realized that his strength was insufficient, so he could only jump around on the side, cheering for the two with barking sounds.
Huan Chu rushed to the front of the zombie, and with a backhand strike, he chopped down towards it. With a 'puchi' sound, the seemingly surefire strike was unexpectedly blocked by the joint defense's arm. It seems that the combat effectiveness of the zombie is still related to its physical fitness or instinctual memory from when it was alive. The response speed of this joint defense against zombies is indeed slightly better than that of ordinary zombies.
The zombies escaped unscathed, but Huan Chu found himself in a dangerous situation. The first strike failed to take down the approaching zombie, and several more zombies quickly surrounded them. Chen Wenwen obviously did not expect such a situation. She was several steps behind and didn't even have time to draw the broken water from her waist. She could only watch helplessly as four joint defense zombies reached out their long arms towards Huan Chu.
Although Huan Chu's strength is average, he has repeatedly escaped from death along the way, showing that his agility and intelligence are not to be underestimated. Huan Chu quickly identified the direction to break through in the pile of zombies, and rushed towards the zombie whose arm he had cut off, knocking it down to the ground, as it was already struggling to maintain balance without one arm.
With this leap, he also managed to shake off the grasp of the other zombies. Huan Chu lay on top of the zombie, feeling the foul smell coming from the zombie's ferocious mouth and rotten body. It was the first time he had such intimate contact with a zombie, and he couldn't help but feel nauseous. For a moment, fear overcame him, but he didn't get up. Instead, he slapped the zombie's open mouth to the side, and with a knife in his hand, he thrust it horizontally, piercing it right into the zombie's twisted mouth.
"Plop!" "
Zombies are like humans who have shot themselves in the mouth, leaving a big hole from the front of the mouth to the back of the neck, unable to move anymore. Chen Wenwen caught up at this time, waving the broken water in her hand. With just one slash, she cut the zombie closest to her in half, then turned around to face another zombie.
She made a clean cut, with the blade going in and out without a drop of the zombie's black blood splashing on her expensive leather jacket. At this moment, Huan Chu finally climbed up from the corpse, his face covered in blood, forming a sharp contrast with Chen Wenwen. Perhaps when it comes to survival ability, Huan Chu believes that he is no less than the queen, but his skills are mostly learned from games or self-summarized from actual combat, which are ultimately unconventional and cannot compare to the queen's authentic techniques. Therefore, he always appears to be in great danger during battles.
Clearly, he was quite frightened by the joint defense of these zombies this time. After escaping from danger, he felt a surge of anger rising in his chest. He let out a low growl that didn't sound human, and without caring about the blood on his face and body, he waved his machete and charged towards the zombies.
"Click! "
Clang! "
After two low roars, the only two pitiful joint defense zombies left fell under the butcher knives of the two. The sound of 'click' was naturally the sound of Huan Chu angrily waving his machete, as if a butcher chopping bones, while the sound of 'clang' was the sound of the queen effortlessly sheathing her sword after killing the zombie in front of her with a single stroke, as if a dragon springing in the night.
At this moment, Huan Chu still seemed to be holding a grudge, stomping fiercely on the zombie lying on the ground before taking the handkerchief handed to him by the queen to wipe the bloodstains off his face and body. Fortunately, Huan Chu did not let his anger cloud his judgment. He vented his anger on the dead zombies and did not go crazy to provoke the small group of monsters in the distance that had not been noticed.
Huan Chu, who always appeared calm, suddenly got angry, and Chen Wenwen did not try to calm him down, but just stood by smiling. At this point, Heizi confirmed that the battle was over, and ran over to circle around the queen's feet, occasionally making a few strange barks, seemingly mocking Huan Chu.
Huan Chu saw the two of them, or rather, one person and one dog (blaming Blackie's expression for being too human-like), both looking at him strangely. He asked impatiently, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a man blush with anger before?" "
Chen Wenwen obviously didn't mind Huan Chu's playful banter, shook her head, and pointed to the lobby of the police station ahead. Huan Chu turned around and saw that the iron rolling shutter door outside the Public Security Bureau gate had been opened to allow one person to pass through, apparently by the police officer who had escaped earlier.
Speaking of the police officer, Huan Chu then realized that the courtyard outside had once again fallen into silence, and the dull sound of gunfire had disappeared at some point, indicating that the unlucky police officer had already sacrificed. Huan Chu knew that he didn't have time to care about others at the moment, so he gestured to Chen Wenwen to follow the queen.
The queen smiled at the black spot at her feet again, confirmed the position of the Mauser pistol at her waist, tightened the empty backpack behind her waist that was used to hold bullets, held the broken water bottle loosely, and followed Huan Chu into the police station.
After the two people and a dog entered the building, the dog's fur all stood on end, and it kept growling lowly, constantly warning the two people. There's no need for Hades' warning. Both of them are already on high alert. The scene before them was straight out of a horror movie, with the most common jump scare moment.
The first-floor lobby of the police station had clearly been the scene of a fierce battle between zombies and police. The once bright marble floor was covered in bloodstains, scattered with broken pieces that could not be distinguished as either zombie or human parts - from half a hand to spilled intestines, from a severed leg to brain matter splattered on the walls. The fluorescent lights in the lobby flickered under poor contact, casting an even more terrifying glow on the gruesome scene.
The smell of blood emanating from these broken organs and bloodstains in the air permeated the entire hall, so strong that it was nauseating, even disrupting Kuro's sense of smell as a military dog, causing him to bark continuously, alerting the two but unable to pinpoint the location of the zombies.
But Huan Chu clearly didn't take any of this to heart. Although he was still cautious, he showed no signs of nervousness. He walked straight to the edge of the service counter, wanting to look at the nearby directional map. He is not nervous for a reason. Although the previous police officer's escape method was somewhat foolish, it provided the greatest convenience for the actions of the two. Since he came out unscathed, it doesn't necessarily mean he came out unscathed, but in any case, a person walking out of the door with a gun alive from here means that the zombies in this hall were either not killed by him or have already been lured out by him.
With one kick, he pushed away a piece of leg that was blocking his way. Looking at the half of a police pants left on the severed leg, Huan Chu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although the police are also a violent agency, they are not allowed to carry guns with them. When the zombie outbreak occurred, they were almost no different from ordinary civilians and had no resistance at all. Otherwise, with a strong office building and sufficient firearms and ammunition, supporting for about ten days should not be a problem at all.
After confirming the location of the armory from the map, Huan Chu listened carefully for a moment and noticed the silence in the building, with no sign of the zombie's characteristic low growl like a dead duck. He then called Chen Wenwen and Heizi and headed towards the basement.
Coming to the police station to find firearms and ammunition to make up for the lack of weapons in their hands, the two naturally did not hesitate at all, and went straight to the armory once they confirmed its location. As soon as Ke Cai stepped into the long corridor of the basement, Blackie stopped in his tracks, bared his teeth towards the darkness ahead, and let out a low growl.
Huan Chu immediately signaled Chen Wenwen to stop, and then heard a rustling sound coming from the end of the corridor. It's like the sound of nails scratching glass, very faint, easy to overlook if not paying attention, but once you focus and hear it, it feels exceptionally harsh, making one instinctively want to eliminate the source of the sound.
Huan Chu remained calm in this situation, took out a flashlight from his waist bag, signaled Chen Wenwen to draw her gun, and adjusted the military-grade flashlight in his hand to the smallest light source, shining it slowly towards the end of the corridor.
Obviously the police had tried to come and take the guns. The corridor, only a dozen meters long, was filled with severed limbs. Because the basement was a sealed structure, the thick blood had actually formed a stream, and the severed limbs were slowly floating in the blood.
At the end of the corridor, a huge zombie in a police uniform is scratching the wall with long nails, picking up pieces of flesh from the blood around it and chewing them voraciously.
