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

Chapter 79 Superintendent Xu, Just Go Die

Xu Lin had barely finished speaking when Xiao Zhou had already taken the lead and run towards the staircase.

The others followed closely behind him, each with a look of panic, but still mustering the courage at this life-and-death moment to knock down all the zombies blocking their way.

By the time Xu Lin had dealt with the two zombies in front of him and was ready to catch up, he realized that he had somehow fallen behind.

He hurriedly looked ahead to check if Xiao Zhou and the others were safe.

He saw that they had disappeared into the staircase.

"Hurry! Keep up!"

"Xiao Zhou and the rest are just ahead!" Experience more content on empire

"I'll hold off the zombies behind us, move faster, I might not hold out much longer!"

Several more frantic survivors ran over, and just as they were about to speak to Xu Lin, he pushed them into the staircase and then cleaved his axe into the neck of a zombie that was lunging at him.

In just a few minutes, no fewer than seven zombies had died under this firefighter's axe.

But Xu Lin's strength was also rapidly depleting.

Leaning against the wall, his anxious eyes were constantly searching for any possible survivors, but all he saw were increasingly more bodies shakily rising from the ground.

There was no time left, he had to leave!

Xiao Zhou and the others were still downstairs!

"Arrgh!"

With gritted teeth, Xu Lin turned and charged into the staircase, but was immediately confronted by several zombies coming down from above.

Four or five blood-soaked arms reached out to grab him simultaneously!

Crack!

He quickly dodged to the side!

The axe in his hand fiercely chopped into the shoulder of the foremost zombie!

At this critical moment of life and death, his exhausted body suddenly burst forth with immense strength, flipping several zombies in front of him onto the ground!

Below, it seemed like someone was calling for help, possibly Xiao Zhou and the others in danger!

Without hesitation, and without time to finish off the struggling zombies on the ground, Xu Lin leaped over them in two steps!

Thud, thud, thud!

Blood was splattered everywhere on the staircase!

A severed arm was wedged between the gaps of the handrail!

The sight before him filled him with dread, and he quickened his pace even further, finally catching sight of the door to the parking lot!

As soon as he entered, he saw several zombies tearing apart a body.

That was an employee from the milk tea shop.

And in another corner, Xiao Zhou and the others were being attacked by seven or eight zombies, with two women screaming for help behind them.

"Bang! Bang!"

Xu Lin didn't hesitate to shoot.

At the sound of gunfire, Xiao Zhou and the others almost simultaneously turned their heads to look.

Only then did he lower the muzzle he had been pointing upward, shot dead the two zombies attracted by the gunfire, and emptied the last bullets from the magazine.

"Xiao Zhou, get everyone in the car!"

"I've got the rear!"

Xu Lin shouted, tossed aside his handgun, and, clutching the axe, rushed towards the crowd of zombies.

He shouted desperately, trying to attract the attention of the horde.

"Come on, you sons of bitches!"

"Come and eat me!"

One of the zombies seemed unable to withstand the provocation and turned to pounce in Xu Lin's direction, only to have its neck promptly severed by his axe.

Then came the second one, and the third, soon, more and more zombies turned and charged at him.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Get in the car!"

Seeing this, Xiao Zhou hurriedly led everyone to the nearest van.

The seven-seater van instantly became packed, but there were still a few people outside who hadn't gotten in, desperately trying to squeeze inside.

"What are you doing?"

"This car is already full, no more can get in!"

The two women sitting in the back quickly tried to close the car door, but the people outside grabbed it and they couldn't get it shut.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhou in front didn't hesitate and hacked down on the hand holding the car door with a firefighter's axe!

"Ahhhh!"

The screams erupted instantly.

The hand holding the car door was completely severed.

The women inside the car screamed in terror at the sight before them, while the men outside barely had time to curse before they quickly abandoned their wounded companion and ran towards another car.

Everyone understood what would happen next.

Sure enough, the zombies that were originally chasing Xu Lin quickly began to return, their blood-red eyes filled with a thirst for blood.

Xu Lin also witnessed this shocking scene and was immediately filled with rage.

What he hated the most was those who abandoned their comrades.

Was it Xiao Zhou's doing?

Regardless of who did it, now was clearly not the time to blame each other.

Besides, in the situation just now, if those people had been allowed to persist, the inevitable result would have been death for everyone in the car.

With this thought, Xu Lin finally managed to suppress the anger inside him.

He was also close to his limit.

Both his arms felt like they were filled with lead.

Initially, he was able to split open the zombies' heads with an axe, but now he could only manage to push the enemies away using the axe handle.

Luckily, nearly all the zombies in front of him were lured away by the corpse.

It was time for him to get in the car as well.

But once he left the mall, where could he go?

Communication with the government had been lost long ago, leaving only some erratic broadcasts that seemed to come from nowhere, repeating daily.

"At present... the unknown virus has spread worldwide... the situation in all countries is becoming increasingly tense..."

"We hope that our citizens will join hands... to get through this..."

"Unprecedented crisis..."

Every time he heard these meaningless messages, he felt an urge to smash the radio to pieces.

What he needed was rescue, was the army, was hope that everyone could see.

Not these hollow and useless encouragements.

Right, there was one more person!

Zhang Ye!

Xu Lin's eyes suddenly brightened, and hope was reignited in his heart.

That kid had brought out twenty bodyguards alone; how many other survivors might he have?

At least seventy or eighty, maybe even a hundred?

That wasn't a small number.

Supporting so many people required more than just food and water.

They also needed a secure refuge, otherwise the more survivors there were, the greater the safety risks among them.

And that was exactly what they needed now.

As he thought this, he saw the business vehicle where Xiao Zhou was, driving his way.

Xu Lin quickly stopped, intending to board when the vehicle slowed down.

But the business car showed no sign of slowing down.

The expression on Xiao Zhou's face inside the car was complex, the guilt gradually turning to ruthlessness.

"Don't stop, just drive over!"

"Run him over!"

Looking at Xu Lin's face full of anxiety and expectation, he silently thought:

"Inspector Xu, I'm sorry."

"Someone like you is better off dead!"

Whoosh—

The business vehicle nearly scraped past Xu Lin's body.

It was a close call, one more bit and he would have been hit and sent flying by the speeding car.
