You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

Chapter 114 When People Die, Their Eggs Face the Sky

```

But the body of this zombie was simply too massive.

Its height was not very tall—in fact, a rough estimate put it at under two meters, leaving some distance to the ceiling above.

Yet its corpulent body was more than twice the width of an adult, covered in disgusting flabs of fat.

The attack from behind quickly enraged it.

"Roar!!"

A team member, unable to dodge in time, instinctively raised his shield.

But the two-centimeter-thick stainless steel shield was no match for the overwhelming strength of the zombie.

The giant zombie turned around and with a single swing of its arm, hurled the man's body against the wall, then took a large step forward and crushed the man's chest with its massive foot.

Seeing this, the remaining two people turned and ran.

Still, one of them reacted too slowly and was seized by the clothes by the zombie as it turned its head their way.

A scream of extreme pain followed.

The zombie grabbed his body with one hand, his head with the other, and violently pulled with both arms!

Splat!

Blood instantly gushed out from the chest cavity.

It tilted its head back, basking in the shower of blood from above, a satisfied growl emanating from its throat.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but shiver all over.

The enemy before them was simply too strong; they were no match at all, and going forward would only be a senseless sacrifice.

At the same time, everyone heard Xu Lin's command to retreat.

"Retreat upstairs!"

"This place is too narrow!"

"Take the chance, everyone out!"

No sooner had he spoken than some had already begun running into the stairwell in a panic.

Seeing this, the others hastily fled toward the stairwell, and for a moment, cries of panic and gasps of breath were heard throughout the computer room.

In the chaos, someone even discarded their weapon to run faster.

The one leading the way was a short man.

While running, he looked back, and when he didn't hear the heavy footsteps following, his heart eased substantially.

It sounded like his partners had also entered the stairwell.

Having someone cover the rear made things a lot safer.

With this thought, the man slowed down considerably, pondering a break to catch his breath.

But just then, two green glints of light appeared in the corner, approaching quickly from behind like drifting will-o'-the-wisps.

The flashlight clattered to the ground.

Two more people, frantic, ran out from the stairwell.

"Damn, the bastard even dropped the flashlight?"

"Pick it up quickly."

"Otherwise, we can't explain to the captain and the boss once we're outside."

One of them picked up the flashlight from the ground and briefly waited with the other before they saw other team members catch up from behind.

Once about a dozen people gathered together, they immediately followed Xu Lin upstairs in retreat.

At the same time, the heavy footsteps resounded once more.

Thud, thud, thud.

It was following them up.

The crowd became somewhat frantic again.

Two ghastly green glints appeared in the darkness behind them, silently drifting towards the nearest person.

When Xu Lin finally saw the open door of the turbine room, a sudden shout reached his ears:

"Damn, where are the people at the back?"

"Captain! Old Zhao and the others are gone!"

Upon hearing this, a shock went through him—there should have been some distance between the heavy footsteps and them!

Could it have silently caught up already?

Just then, the voice rang out again, this time filled with terror, "No good!"

"Captain! There are more behind—"

```

The man's words were cut off abruptly, as if a tape had been snapped.

Others, hearing the sound, quickly turned to look. By the light streaming in from the door, they saw the terrifying black shadow pressing down on the man.

The shadow suddenly lifted its head, its green pupils eerily striking in the dimness.

It seemed to be aware that it had been discovered.

Bang!

Xu Lin had fired his gun!

The bullet instantly caused a spray of blood on the shadow!

But after a single howl, the shadow quickly vanished down the corridor leading deeper into the engine room.

At the same time, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. The team turned to look and saw Zhang Ye, staring inside as he asked solemnly,

"I heard gunshots."

"What happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the direction where the shadow had fled was filled with sounds of a struggle; the faces of the people inside conveyed pure terror.

Zhang Ye was no fool; he naturally understood something bad had happened inside.

He quickly shuffled to the side, urging everyone to come out quickly.

"Go get the guns from the car!"

"Hurry up!"

Xu Lin didn't have time to explain. The moment he came out, he immediately shouted to the teammates around him.

They hadn't brought guns with them when they went in.

The reason was simple.

In such cramped indoor spaces, firearms weren't suitable as it was easy to accidentally shoot a teammate and cause chaos.

Moreover, the sound of gunfire could potentially draw out all the indoors enemies.

The pressure on each person would then increase.

The tradeoff wasn't worth it.

But now, being outside, the situation was obviously different.

It took the three teammates merely a minute to return.

Each with a double-barreled shotgun in hand.

Two of the guns were rushed out by Zhou Hongbing's subordinates against zombies. The last one had been used by him before and was now requisitioned by the combat team.

The three guns hadn't been used until now, but from the other day's fight, their power was proven to be very strong.

The only downside was the limited supply of bullets.

Less than twenty rounds.

"Boss, why don't you take them and leave here first?"

"It could get very dangerous."

Xu Lin said to Zhang Ye with a serious face.

While the two were speaking, the sounds of fighting and roaring from inside the door continued to echo, growing closer, as if they were now almost on the first floor.

Zhang Ye glanced at Xu Lin's defensive expression and then turned to look at the combat team, who were equally tense.

He hesitated for a moment but then shook his head.

You must be joking.

Run away in the face of the enemy?

If he had never been here before that might be one thing, but with the enemy right before him, were he to dare turn his back, the combat team at his side would instantly collapse.

If the enemies from behind were to catch up, they would truly have no chance to resist.

Moreover, even if he stayed, it wasn't necessary for him personally to join the battle.

What use were all these bodyguards if not for fighting?

Did he hire them just for show?

Without a word from Zhang Ye, others already understood his intention. Many people looked at him with newfound respect and gratitude.

These days, how many bosses were willing to fight at the front lines?

Especially under such extremely dangerous circumstances, to stay calm and fight side by side with one's subordinates was practically unheard of. He was the best boss in Sanjiang!

Even for this camaraderie, they had to give it their all!

To hell with it!

Let's do it!
