Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Chapter 464: (Do not buy, will fix 11/1/23)

As the young man peeks his head out, he is absolutely stunned by the thing standing outside.

It was a zombie mutant half of a tank mutant, with a long, slithering tail as its right hand.

With the wall that touched the green goo melting away as if it had touched some sort of acid, Kate and Xiaoyun immediately realized the danger.

With loud bang sounds, Xiaoyun unloaded his entire rifle mag onto the mutant, only to find it standing perfectly fine.

"Kate, bring them out of the store. I'll deal with it."

"Wait, help untie us first——"

"Just run out!"

As Kate started to help the four get back up from the ground, Xiaoyun forcefully ripped the food shelf out of the wall.

"Hey, trash! Are you mad that I killed that statue? Was that pathetic thing your kid or something?"

The mutant's face turned fully angrier as it growled right toward him before slashing the door frame into pieces.

"Fight me like a real man. Don't be a coward——" Experience new stories on M V L

Before Xiaoyun could finish talking, he immediately raised the shelve to block the green goo being shot towards him.

This time, all of them could see the green goo coming out of the slithering hand, with a hole opening at the very tip.

Within seconds, Xiaoyun threw the shelve away as it melted into a bunch of black goo before falling onto the floor.

"Come over here. Let's see if you can catch me."

Xiaoyun yelled as he immediately ran in the opposite direction, as the other five hid underneath the nearby shelve.

"Take this!"

Xiaoyun quickly pulled out his Beretta 92 and fired toward the mutant, running further back as he fired several more shots.

The mutant seemed to run out of the green goo as it started chasing after Xiaoyun, running through all the shelves as it got closer and closer.

After seeing all five of them quickly running out of the exit, Xiaoyun finally stopped as he quickly created a longsword.

"I never got the chance to use one of these. Look like you're going to be my first target——"

Just as Xiaoyun was about to make his move, the mutant swung its slithering hand right towards him.

Wanting to test his strength, Xiaoyun chose to block it with his sword instead of just dodging it.

However, the strength test failed before it could even happen, as the sword instantly snapped in half the moment it came in contact.

"Geez, that was strong..."

Xiaoyun murmured as he could feel the strength pressing down on him before he ran away.

Not wanting to play around any longer, a grenade suddenly appeared in Xiaoyun's hands.

With the safety pin pulled, he waited for the mutant to get just close enough for him to throw it right at the mutant's head.

"Has to be dead now... Right?"

As the dust faded away, much to Xiaoyun's dismay, the mutant remained alive and stood firm.

But with blood flowing down all over its body, Xiaoyun immediately fired his pistol at the open wounds.

This time, the bullet penetrated right through the head, allowing the bullet to hit the wall as the mutant fell onto the ground.

"Geez, thank god I used a High explosive grenade instead of a shrapnel one..."

As Xiaoyun walked closer to examine the zombie mutant, he could finally see what damage the grenade had done.

The muscles on its chest had completely disappeared, with the skin on its upper body completely gone.

Parts of its brain were fully exposed to the air, with the bullet wound right at the forehead.

Turning his attention over to the slithering hand, it quickly went almost half of its body size to a small little snake.

Poking it with a stick, a small bit of green goo remained as it melted the stick into black goo.

Suddenly, the mutant's skin seemed to have lost its property as the green goo melted the tile floor before a massive black goo formed.

"Yuck... Surely Dongguan isn't full of these mutants." Xiaoyun murmured as he finally headed towards the store's exit.

As soon as he walked near the door, the car was right at the entrance.

"Whew, thank god you're safe..." Kate let out a sigh of relief as she quickly exited the car.

"What did you drive the car all the way here?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as the two hugged each other.

"I was about to ram the car at the mutant... But it looks like I don't need to anymore."

As soon as Kate said that out loud, he could see the fear on the faces of the other four passengers.

"Next time, trust your husband more. I told you just to wait outside." Xiaoyun answered as the two walked closer to the car.

"Yeah, yeah... What are we going to do with those four?" Kate curiously asked as they stopped right at the car door.

After standing for a few minutes, Xiaoyun quickly opened the passenger seat before signaling them to come out.

As they stood next to each other in the empty parking lot, Xiaoyun quickly cut all four of their ties before looking over back to Kate.

"Give them their keys back."

The middle-aged man quickly catches the key that Kate threw, and the four of them look at the two with fear on their faces.

"Ahem, sorry for leaving you tied up like this... I know this might sound a little shocking, but we're from the military."

Seeing them not trust their word one bit, Xiaoyun took off his black cloak, revealing his military uniform underneath.

"We're actually from Guangzhou. Have you guys heard of Luoping?"

All three of them shook their head, but the middle-aged woman's eyes suddenly started to widen.

"Y-You guys are from Luoping! Really? Is it true?" The middle-aged woman excitedly asked.

"I mean, who else would walk around with a rifle? And you heard the explosion from inside earlier, right?"

"Babe, what's Luoping?" The middle-aged man quietly asked as he dragged the woman aside.

"It's the safe zone that had been talking about just a few weeks ago. You remember the few survivors we encountered?"

"Oh... No wonder."

As the two turned back around, the other two young adult's faces were full of excitement after listening in to their conversation.

"If you guys are really from Luoping, can you guys take us in?" The middle-aged man nervously pleaded.

Xiaoyun shook his head, as there was no way for him to transport the four of them over without exposing his ability.

Nor did he want to bring them back, at least for now.

"I can tell you that Dongguan is currently on the chopping block to be cleared.

If you guys just stay alive for a few more months, we will be able to rescue you guys to Guangzhou."

The four immediately looked a little disappointed, but Xiaoyun remained firm in his answer.

"If you guys want a faster route, you could head up the Northern part of Dongguan instead.

When you get there, you will be able to see one of our army stationed there trying to clear southward."

Hearing Xiaoyun's answer, the middle-aged man suddenly shook his head.

"There's no way to go North at all... The zombie hordes had split the city into two.

We were lucky to escape just in time before they overran the city proper. Everyone is either in the northern or southern part."

As the conversation fell into silence, Xiaoyun suddenly had an idea pop up in his head.

"Can you just spread the news that all survivors need to hide for the upcoming week?"

"Huh? Why?"

"We're actually planning to lure some of the zombie hordes all the way down to this bridge.

I'll pay you guys with food if you help me spread the news to other survivors who are still in the city.

Just tell them to stay indoors or stay as far away from the road as possible."

After a short consideration, the middle-aged man nodded in agreement.

"Sure. We can do that..."

"Great. Let me go get food."

As Xiaoyun turned around and started digging around his backpack, he quickly created a few cans of food before taking it out.

"Here's the payment... Good luck!"

"Good luck to you too!"

As the four of them drove off into the distance, Xiaoyun and Kate both turned around and began heading towards the bridge again.

"Xiaoyun, why did you ask feel so different earlier?" Kate curiously asked as she still remembered the threatening face Xiaoyun had.

"Just have to look tough, or else they won't tell the full truth."

"But they had no reasons to lie... Besides that first part. But that part isn't even relevant to us."

Xiaoyun's face started to blush a little as he knew what Kate was pointing out was all true.

However, he just didn't want to admit wrong, so he pulled out his trump card.

"Easy for you to say in hindsight... Maybe they would have given us the wrong information on purpose, thinking we are enemies."
