C23 – He Was Ready to Fight!
Mao Zhe was terrified, nearly wetting himself as he hastily started the Base Car. Slamming on the gas, the vehicle surged forward like a bolt of lightning. The sound of impact echoed twice as two Zombie Wolves blocking the path were sent flying by the collision.
?The front of the Base Car, however, was left with a significant dent, a testament to the Zombie Wolves’ far superior strength compared to regular zombies.
Realizing their prey was attempting to flee, the remaining Zombie Wolves let out ferocious roars and gave chase with a maddening fervor.
“We need to break out of here, now!” Ming Dong yelled urgently to Mao Zhe.
The Zombie Wolves were nearly as fast as the Base Car. If they didn’t break through the encirclement before the creatures had a chance to react, their fate would be sealed.
“Captain, the Base Car is already at top speed,” Mao Zhe said through clenched teeth, his hands shaking on the steering wheel from the intense stress.
“They’re on us!” Cao Rann exclaimed, looking back at the horde of Zombie Wolves in hot pursuit, his face ashen.
?Jiang Qiu’s complexion also drained of color, but she refrained from screaming. Instead, her gaze settled on Tan Chong, finding solace in his presence. In her heart, she believed that with Tan Chong by her side, she could face any hardship or danger.
?In contrast to the others, Tan Chong remained composed. His psychic force reached out to a ten-meter radius, revealing at least fifty Zombie Wolves on their tail. He knew that brute force alone wouldn’t be enough to fend them off.
?”It looks like I’ll have to depend on this to hold off the Zombie Wolves,” Tan Chong muttered, eyes narrowing with determination. As he withdrew his psychic force, he opened his storage bag and pulled out the Level 1 Pulse Pistol.
?The Level 1 Pulse Pistol operated similarly to the firearms of his past life, with the exception that it used Energy Stones instead of bullets for ammunition. Furthermore, its magazine functioned like a storage bag, capable of holding an infinite supply of Energy Stones. Each stone was equivalent to one bullet, meaning that with a sufficient supply of Energy Stones, the Pulse Pistol could fire endlessly.
?The Pulse Pistol packed enough punch to take down a Level 1 Zombie, and it was more than capable of handling a Zombie Wolf.
Tan Chong then proceeded to load the Pulse Pistol’s magazine with Energy Stones.
To be on the safe side, he loaded a total of 70 Energy Stones, ensuring he had enough firepower to eliminate 70 Zombie Wolves.
“Tan Chong, what’s that you’re holding?” Cao Rann noticed the unfamiliar object in Tan Chong’s hand, now being loaded with Energy Stones, and asked with a furrowed brow.
In this world, while advanced transportation like the Base Car existed, firearms and similar weapons did not.
Thus, Cao Rann was clueless about what Tan Chong was holding.
“Weapon,” Tan Chong responded succinctly, his attention fixed on the Pulse Pistol, offering no further explanation.
At that moment, the Base Car was struck with a violent blow, sending plumes of black smoke billowing from the front.
Inside, Tan Chong and the other three passengers nearly toppled over from the sheer force of the impact.
“Mao Zhe, what’s going on with your driving?” Ming Dong, regaining his balance, bellowed at Mao Zhe.
“Captain, it wasn’t intentional,” Mao Zhe exclaimed, on the verge of tears.
Overcome by nerves, he had been driving the Base Car haphazardly and failed to spot a large rock ahead, resulting in the collision.
“What are you doing just standing there? Get moving, drive!” Ming Dong snapped.
Their delay had allowed the Zombie Wolves to catch up and now they had encircled the Base Car.
“It’s no use! The Base Car won’t start,” Mao Zhe lamented, nearly breaking down as he repeatedly tried and failed to start the vehicle.
Meanwhile, the Zombie Wolves began their assault on the Base Car.
With each hit, the vehicle rocked violently, its exterior becoming riddled with dents. It seemed likely that it would be breached before long.
