Chapter 22 Cover

At that moment, the building trembled even more violently, teetering on the brink of collapse, as large cracks continued to appear on the surfaces of both buildings.

"Let's go! It's unsafe here, hurry up and leave. Otherwise, if that Type I mutant discovers us, no one will survive. This has already gone beyond normal understanding."

After Su Mo spoke, he immediately pulled out a rope, found a fixed point to bind it to, and without a second thought, jumped down from the sixth floor.

Sun Duoxiang and the others didn't waste words either and quickly climbed down the rope.

Soon, Su Mo and his group managed to leave the building and ran from the back. They were fleeing with all their might, not daring to stop along the way for fear of being caught by the mutant.

As it turned out, misfortune never comes singly.

After running two streets, although they weren't caught by the mutant, they ran head-on into a dense horde of zombies. The zombies were gnawing on some unfortunate players, sensing fresh prey, they all lifted their ferocious heads.

"You've got to be kidding."

Sun Duoxiang and the others had faces of despair, gasping frantically.

"This way!"

Su Mo immediately led Lan Xi and the others to escape in a different direction.

Whoosh!

Hordes of zombies chased after them again.

"Brother, how much farther to the safe zone? If we keep running like this, even if the zombies don't kill us, we'll die of exhaustion."

Sun Duoxiang asked breathlessly.

"Soon, just turn up ahead and we'll be there."

Su Mo replied very calmly; despite their constant fleeing, he had silently calculated every direction they took, not straying too far off.

"Really? Well-deserved, big brother."

Sun Duoxiang and the others were immediately rejuvenated with hope, utterly admiring Su Mo. To think they had been panicked all this way, their minds fogged. Even now, they felt dizzy, all sense of direction lost.

Soon, Su Mo and the others reached the end of the street, turned the corner, and a huge Bird's Nest-shaped stadium loomed into view, fire raging in its center.

However, before Su Mo and his group could rejoice, their hearts sank. They saw the vast stadium surrounded by zombies.

Right at the entrance they faced, hundreds of zombies were entrenched.

"It's over, it's over, we've been delayed too long on the road, and the entrance is blocked by zombies."

Sun Duoxiang collapsed onto the ground.

Lan Xi gasped desperately, turned her head back for a glance, and anxiously said to Su Mo,

"Su Mo, the zombie horde behind us is catching up, we're about to be enveloped!"

"Big brother, what should we do now?"

Zhang Hao was completely at a loss, now his only reliance was on Su Mo.

Su Mo turned his head towards Lan Xi and said, "Gauze!"

Lan Xi, although not knowing what Su Mo needed the gauze for, immediately pulled it out of her backpack and handed it over to Su Mo.

Su Mo received the gauze, casually slung the backpack back to Lan Xi. He then wrapped the gauze around his hand holding the Tang Sword, and tied a tight knot. Then he fiercely said,

"Fight through!"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Lan Xi and the others nearly had their eyes pop out.

"What? Big brother, there are hundreds of zombies up front!"

Zhang Hao reminded tearfully. To fight through so many zombies was immensely daunting!

"So what! We're dead either way, might as well fight, cover me!"

After Su Mo spoke, he charged fearlessly forward.

"Let's go all out!"

Sun Duoxiang and the others were infected by Su Mo's momentum, grabbing their guns and charging forward.

The zombies entrenched at the entrance also noticed Su Mo and his group, swarming toward them.

Su Mo's eyes were fiercely sharp, his gaze colder than ever, nerves taut as the world around seemed to quiet down at that moment.

Sword raised, sword fell!

Crack!

The head of the zombie at the very front flew off.

Su Mo moved like a wolf among sheep, wildly swinging his Tang Sword, each strike incredibly precise at the zombies' vital points. Then he kicked fiercely, sending them flying to avoid any mishaps from being clawed.

Crack!

Thick blood splattered out!

Zombies fell one by one.

Following behind Su Mo, Lan Xi kept firing to cover him, attacking the zombies attempting sneak attacks.

Bang bang~

It must be said that Su Mo and his team really made it into the zombie crowd, only to find more and more zombies gathering around.

As Su Mo and the others made their half-way push, the resistance they faced became increasingly strong. Su Mo clenched his teeth, maintaining high-speed swings of his Tang Sword, daring not to relax at all. This was not only a severe test for his arm but also for his spirit. Now, his entire hand was numb from chopping.

Crack~~

Lan Xi pulled the trigger and, with horror, discovered that she was out of bullets.

"I'm out of bullets."

"Don't bother checking, they're all gone."

Zhang Hao immediately responded.

"I'm out too, what do we do?"

Sun Duoxiang's face was almost in tears.

"Let's fight them!"

In that moment, the stern resolve in Zhang Hao's heart was ignited. He pulled out a baton to help.

The situation grew increasingly dire, more and more zombies gathered around, and they found it increasingly difficult to move forward, although they weren't far from the entrance.

At that moment, above the Bird's Nest Stadium, several players from the Wuji Guild lay with their firearms.

"Who are those guys? So fierce, trying to break through like that. Too bad, they're about to be overwhelmed and killed."

"We're here to cover our own, what do we care how awesome these other people are?"

The leading Captain Wang Lei spoke indifferently, having no interest in playing the good guy. Their own ammunition was limited and expensive.

"Eh, am I seeing right?"

A teammate said, puzzled at that moment.

"What's up?"

"That sneaky-looking guy seems to be from our guild, something like Sun Duoxiang, we signed up together."

"Are you sure?"

Captain Wang asked.

"Sure."

"Damn, then that's one of our own, brothers, provide fire support!"

Captain Wang immediately shouted.

"Roger that!"

The nearby teammates set up their firearms.

At this moment, Su Mo and his team were struggling fiercely. Even if Su Mo could kill well, they could not withstand the impact of that many zombies. Lan Xi and the others were somewhat desperate when suddenly, a volley of gunfire rang out, and the charging zombies fell one by one. The zombies that had surrounded them were also gunned down as they approached.

Su Mo looked up toward the roof of the stadium in the distance and immediately spotted the supporting team.

"With covering fire, let's kill our way through!"

Su Mo's words, like a shot of adrenaline, immediately reignited hope in Lan Xi and the others.

At this moment, Sun Duoxiang also saw the support team and shouted excitedly, "It's our guild mates! They finally came to pick us up."

"Stop chatting, hurry and break through."

Lan Xi retorted to Sun Duoxiang.

"Okay, okay...."

...

A few moments later, Su Mo and his team reached the entrance successfully. The doorway of the stadium was fortified with a tall steel wire fence, and a group of players armed with rifles stood guard.

"We are from the Wuji Guild."

Sun Duoxiang quickly reported their affiliation.
