MM Racing Chapter 55 Visitor from the Abyss
Chapter 55 Visitor from the Abyss
"Withdraw! Evacuate in batches to the second line of defense!"
Qin Huai'an's voice rang out on the defensive line.
The burly man and his group of "repentant" henchmen were working with the survivors who had accepted the commission, as well as Qin Huai'an's men, to desperately block the zombies that were breaking through the wall of fire behind the barrier zone of the first line of defense.
One of the burly man's underlings had just smashed the head of a zombie and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when another zombie pounced from the side and bit his arm. His scream was quickly drowned out by the roars of the horde of zombies.
And such scenes are playing out continuously throughout the defense line.
In this long battle between humans and the dead, no one cared about his death, but his position was taken over by someone else.
At that moment, everyone's thought was simple: survive!
Everyone was struggling desperately!
They fight for a very simple purpose!
Slaughter, roars, cries, death, anger, regret...
Within two hundred meters of the second line of defense, every survivor was venting in their own way all the emotions that had been hidden in their hearts since the outbreak of the apocalypse.
Some people got carried away in the battle, their eyes turning red with rage, and they vented their anger on the zombies chasing after them by constantly swinging their weapons.
After being bitten by a zombie, some people knew their days were numbered, but they faced it calmly and turned back to fight.
Although some were afraid, they still drew their knives and fought for the sake of their companions and family.
……
Within a distance of less than two hundred meters, every meter was filled with the most intense fighting.
"Don't stand still! Retreat! Quickly!"
Wearing heavy riot gear, Xue Wu wielded an iron bar while covering the retreating people.
Just then, a small, mutated zombie suddenly sprang up from the horde of zombies and attacked Xue Wu from an extremely tricky angle.
At this moment, Xue Wu, who was being attacked by several ordinary zombies, had no time to make an effective reaction.
Just when Xue Wu thought he was doomed, a silver-white longsword fell, killing the mutated zombie and the zombies surrounding him at the same time.
Yue Man has arrived.
Accompanying Yue Man were other ability users who had been commissioned to hunt down mutated zombies.
The moment Yue Man made his move, they also found their respective targets to hunt.
Some chose to fight alone, while others chose to join forces to kill them.
The participation of those with special abilities bought precious time for the people on the first line of defense to retreat.
Xue Wu, witnessing Yue Man's attack for the first time, stared at the familiar-looking slash marks and, in utter shock, uttered only two words: "Thank you."
Yue Man glanced at Xue Wu, nodded slightly, and then directly raised his sword to slash at the mutated zombie that had launched the sneak attack.
On the other side, the burly man who activated his ability was also fighting a huge mutated zombie.
Qin Huai'an was also in a difficult situation. He was fighting a mutated zombie with four arms, his hands forming claws, and it was hard to determine a winner.
Although the addition of the ability users prevented the mutated zombies from indiscriminately slaughtering ordinary people, the already crumbling defenses completely collapsed at this moment as more mutated zombies joined in.
What's even more despairing is that the number of mutated zombies far exceeds their initial count.
Even with top-tier combat power like Yue Man, there was no way to stop all the mutated zombies.
The fierce battle continuously attracted ordinary zombies from the surrounding area to join the fight, so that those who had finally reached the second line of defense had almost no time to catch their breath before throwing themselves back into battle.
This time, they had no way out.
Zombies kept surging in from all sides.
They had no other choice but to fight to the death.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly dangerous, Wang Xiao picked up the communicator beside him and said, "Wei Yan, how is Yang Hua?"
Wei Yan asked nervously, "Is the boss really going to let him out?"
Wang Xiao said in a deep voice, "Let him go. Let him use his last bit of energy. Tell him that if he survives this time, the grudges between us will be wiped clean."
"Yes."
Upon receiving Wang Xiao's order, Wei Yan immediately led his men to open the door to the room where Yang Hua was being held.
As the door opened, Yang Hua, who used to be arrogant because he was a superhuman, had long since lost his former pride.
He thought he was going to die, but Wang Xiao never took his life, only locking him in this dark and gloomy room.
Facing Wang Xiao, this top henchman of the underground forces had long since lost any will to resist.
Just when he thought Wei Yan would bring him food as before, Wei Yan instead untied the chains binding him.
"What do you mean by that?" Yang Hua asked, puzzled.
Wei Yan said expressionlessly, "Our boss asked me to pass on a message to you: if you can survive this zombie horde, then everything that happened before will be wiped clean."
"A zombie horde?"
Yang Hua, who had been locked in his room and knew nothing about the outside world, had no idea what was happening. He only knew that a lot of people had recently come to the hotel.
Yang Hua remained unmoved and said, "Why should I help you?"
Wei Yan said calmly, "You can also stay locked up here and wait for the hotel to be breached before being bitten to death by zombies. You're an ability user, so you should last longer than the people you killed before, right?"
Yang Hua's expression changed slightly. Although he was not afraid of death, it did not mean that he wanted to suffer such torment before he died.
Wei Yan continued, "Have you thought it through? Do you want to stay here and wait to die, or go outside to atone for your sins? You don't have much time left."
Seeing that Yang Hua did not react for a long time, Wei Yan also started the countdown as Wang Xiao had instructed.
"three!"
"two!"
As the countdown, which sounded like a devil's whisper, began to ring again, Wang Xiao's image involuntarily appeared before Yang Hua's eyes.
It was as if that man was looking at him with a smile!
No, no, don't!
He'd rather die!
I don't want to face that horrible man anymore!
"one……"
Yang Hua exclaimed excitedly, "I'm going!"
When Yang Hua was led to the back door of the hotel, the sight before him made him gasp in shock.
The area surrounding the hotel has been turned into a battlefield.
Flames and thick smoke mingled, roars and screams mingled.
Before the second line of defense, the piled-up zombie corpses had formed a low wall, and more zombies continued to pour in.
Yang Hua exclaimed in shock, "How...how many are there?"
Wei Yan didn't answer him, but pointed in a direction that was about to fall, and said coldly, "Do you see that? Your task is to defend that place."
Yang Hua took a deep breath, picked up a blood-stained machete from one of the victims, and whispered, "I hope your boss will keep his word this time!"
With that, he roared and charged into the horde of corpses.
Yang Hua's addition made up for the lack of capable individuals.
As a top enforcer in the underground forces, Yang Hua's strength naturally far surpasses those who become superhumans due to good fortune. This is why Wang Xiao suddenly changed his mind and chose to spare Yang Hua's life for the time being.
On the third floor of the hotel, just as the situation had temporarily stabilized, Wang Xiao could not relax, because just now, the system had sent another notification.
[Note: The bustling opening of the hotel has successfully attracted the attention of a visitor from the abyss. For the safety of the hotel guests, please proceed with caution.]
