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

Chapter 115 Achieving Energy Independence from Today Onwards!

"Roar!!!"

Another roar sounded.

Immediately after, a tremendous force came from behind the tightly closed door.

To avoid another accident, Xu Lin had not let his men brace the machine room door with their bodies; instead, he instructed everyone to spread out at the entrance.

Only three members, holding shotguns, remained with their barrels aimed at the doorway.

Bang!

The iron door instantly twisted and warped!

Then, like a flying disc, it shot straight out!

A dark shadow took advantage of the opportunity and, like lightning, dashed through the cracked door, pouncing on the man at the front who was thrown into chaos by terror.

Its movements were incredibly fast, nearly appearing on the shield in front of the man in the blink of an eye.

The bulk of its body, akin to a calf's, instantly brought the prey to the ground.

But just then, Xu Lin's calm voice suddenly rang out in everyone's ears:

"Fire!"

"What are you hesitating for!"

As soon as his words fell, he had already pulled the trigger first.

A bullet hit the black creature's back, leaving a blood hole the thickness of a finger.

The pain made the black creature abruptly become agitated.

It dropped its current prey and charged at Xu Lin, but just as it was vaulting into the air, three explosive gunshots sounded in the yard! Find your next read at empire

The large caliber buckshot demonstrated its formidable power at that instant!

The black creature, still in the air, jerked violently; its deep roars quickly turned into wails, and its hefty body thudded onto the ground, struggling a few times before falling still.

Success!

The power of the gun was indeed remarkable!

With just three bullets, such a dangerous creature was taken down!

Zhang Ye, sitting in the Land Rover, also subconsciously let out a sigh of relief, his gaze slowly turning to the body on the ground.

It looked quite like a kind of feline that had appeared on television.

A black leopard?

No, that's not right.

There were no nature reserves near Sanjiang City.

Even the city's only zoo had been closed for rectification last year due to losses, so how could a black leopard have escaped?

"Let's go, get out of the car and take a look."

No sooner had Zhang Ye said this than he went to push open the door, but his wrist was suddenly grasped.

He looked up to see Ai Bing shaking her head seriously, then directing her gaze once again towards the now wide-open turbine room.

Thud, thud, thud...

The heavy sound gave everyone an illusion.

As if the ground beneath their feet was trembling.

Gurgle.

Someone instinctively wanted to back away.

But the comrade behind him had already firmly blocked him.

Director Zhang was watching from behind, and team leader Xu Lin was still facing the front. As a team member, he naturally couldn't back away.

The three men with shotguns had already reloaded their weapons.

The barrels were aimed straight at the doorway.

Xu Lin held a pistol in one hand, the other raised in mid-air, silently waiting for the creature that had taken three lives to come out.

Creak—

A grating friction noise sounded.

A plump body instantly squeezed and deformed the entire door frame.

Without waiting for Xu Lin's order, the three shotguns had already fired at the same time!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The deafening gunshots uplifted everyone's spirits.

They seemed to already envision the bullets tearing the enemy's body apart.

But just then, a piercing scream suddenly filled everyone's ears.

Whoosh—

The man's body was actually cut in two at the waist by the flying object that had just shot out.

It was, shockingly, a shield discarded by someone!

"Aaargh!"

Screams immediately erupted.

A few men who had been barely maintaining their composure couldn't hold it in any longer.

They threw down their weapons and shields and turned to flee out of the yard, their faces twisted with fear of the monster behind the door.

Meanwhile, the doorframe to the hydroelectric power station's machine room creaked under the strain once more, as another face crammed with flesh appeared in the sunlight.

Its skin was extremely pale.

Under the light, it even seemed somewhat transparent.

The belly was bloated and massive, and one could even see the fluid inside through the semi-transparent skin.

It seemed as if a light poke would cause it to burst like a water bag.

But everyone was very clear.

Those three bullets just now had hit this seemingly fragile belly.

The bullets that could instantly kill the black creature only left three bullet holes in this semi-transparent belly.

The internal viscous fluid hadn't even had time to leak out before the wounds started to shrink, eventually leaving only three insignificant little dots.

This undoubtedly deepened everyone's despair.

If guns don't work, what else can we do?

The three men who had tried to escape were quickly pulled back by their comrades.

Xu Lin, unwilling to give up, raised his pistol again and fired several shots at the zombie's head, only to be blocked by the arms it had lifted.

The gun and the wounds completely enraged the zombie, causing it to twist its body even more madly, trying to wriggle out from the doorframe.

Creak—

The doorframe finally cracked open completely.

The hefty body finally freed itself from restraint and stumbled a few steps before falling to the ground.

Xu Lin gritted his teeth and finally stepped back, ready to order his men to retreat.

But it was then that the roar of an engine suddenly came from behind!

A man's shout rose sharply:

"Get out of the way!"

Ai Bing drove a Land Rover directly into the yard.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly dodged to the sides, clearing the path from the gate to the machine room.

The huge zombie that had been lying on the ground was just getting up when a powerful impact rushed forth, slamming directly into its chest!

Bang—

The loud noise was accompanied by the crisp sound of breaking bones.

The zombie, pinned against the wall of the machine room, was still howling, with its chest now caved in to the point where broken bone spurs were visible.

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, a striking figure suddenly pushed the door open, stepped out of the car, kicked against the wall with the right foot, and leaped onto the roof of the car.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Five gunshots rang out in succession.

The bullets were fired directly into the eye sockets.

The powerful impact blew the zombie's skull open in an instant.

The massive zombie, stuck firmly by the Land Rover, finally lost the strength to struggle and began to slide down the wall like sludge.

"It, it seems to have stopped moving?"

Someone looked at the body in the corner and said with a trembling voice.

Soon more and more people gathered, each face filled with relief and disbelief.

And when they saw the man who had emerged from the car, their eyes instantly revealed undisguised admiration and fervor.

Nobody had expected Zhang Ye to let Ai Bing drive straight into the zombie.

An enemy they thought invincible was so easily dealt with by the two of them?

"Director Zhang is amazing!"

Lachang, who had just regained his composure, immediately started flattering the two.

With someone leading the cheer, naturally, others followed suit.

Cheers quickly spread from the crowd, and even Xu Lin joined in the shouting until Zhang Ye fished out a bunch of keys from the pocket of the corpse under the car.

"Let's go, to the control room."

Time quickly passed, more than an hour went by.

The long-silent hydroelectric machine room began to operate once again.

Accompanied by a crackling sound of electricity, the lights in the control room were the first to come on.

Luo Xin wiped the sweat from her face and turned to Zhang Ye with a smile:

"All set."

"I've checked everything."

"There's nothing wrong with the circuits or the equipment."

"Starting today, we can finally achieve energy independence!"
