"Five of you, come and fight with me, the rest of you retreat …."
The captain couldn't think of anything else, so he thought of using himself as bait, using half of the team to cover the retreat of the other half. When the three people who were being chased heard this, they stopped in their tracks, reloaded, and ran to stand beside the captain. Then, a fourth, a fifth … until all the team members stood behind the captain.
"Old Liu, bring Little Li back to report. We have to let the people behind know what happened. Even if we die, we need someone to report our deaths …."
The leader pulled the bolt of his gun and said to the oldest member of the team. After that, he raised his hand and fired at the zombies that were charging at him.
"Little Li … you go back. You can do it alone. I'm old, and you're the youngest. Work hard and be the leader to rebuild our team …."
Old Liu shouted and stood beside the leader to shoot with his comrades. The youngest member of the team was only 18 years old. He looked at the leader and Old Liu with a whimper, stomped his feet, and rushed forward ….
"Damn it, let's go all out. Everyone, use your bayonets. Let's see if our blades are harder or their teeth are harder …."
The leader used up all his bullets. Seeing the zombies in front of him, he immediately gave the order and took the lead to use his bayonet. He rushed towards the group of S2 zombies. Three S2 zombies charged at the leader at the same time. The leader ignored the other two zombies and fiercely stabbed his bayonet into the chest of the incoming zombie. Immediately, he was hugged by three zombies.
The leader let out a blood-curdling scream. He raised his head and slammed into the zombie's head, knocking it to the side. He then lifted his leg and kicked the zombie that was biting through his stomach. He then turned around and pressed the third zombie under his body. He took out his pistol and inserted it into the zombie's mouth. He pulled the trigger again and again. Seven bullets pierced through the back of the zombie's head, leaving a hole the size of a teacup. The zombie's claws tightly gripped onto the leader's waist and died.
The team leader felt dizzy. There were shouts and screams around him. The zombie that had been knocked to the side pounced on him and bit him on the back of the neck. The team leader grabbed the zombie's bald head and pressed the muzzle against the zombie's forehead and pulled the trigger.
The sound of gunfire rang in his ears. In the midst of the gunfire, the zombie weakly let go of his shoulder. He felt something hot flowing out of his ears. The leader could no longer hear anything. He held the empty pistol and stood up blankly from the zombie's corpse.
Just as he stood up, before he could distinguish between his comrades and zombies from the swaying shadows around him, the third zombie that he had kicked pounced on him with a howl …
The captain was like a wild beast that was strangling the zombie's neck and biting each other. The zombie tore his uniform into pieces and tore off his flesh piece by piece. The captain held the zombie's head and smashed the zombie's temple with the handle of his gun. The captain could no longer feel the pain in his body. He was already numb.
Suddenly, he felt the zombie's head being pulled off by him. The inertia made him fall heavily on the ground. Lying on the ground, he could finally see his team members.
There were more than ten team members left. Only three or four of them were left. Most of them were injured. Some of them smashed the butt of the gun on the zombie's head again and again. Some of them held their pistols and walked around in a daze. Their fingers pulled the empty pistol. Looking at the team members' lifeless eyes, it was obvious that they were in a daze. As long as there was a shadow moving, he would pull the trigger.
Beside them, there were corpses of S2 zombies. Among them were the corpses of many team members. Some of the dead team members were torn into pieces. Their internal organs and intestines were pulled out. Some intestines were even pulled out in a straight line. The other end of the intestines was still in the zombie's claws.
Half of the zombies around them had their heads chopped off. Behind them, a human figure was flashing in the crowd of zombies. Every time he flashed, a zombie would be beheaded and fall to the side. In less than five minutes, dozens of zombies were killed, and not a single one was left.
Among the three or four team members, only one team member was not injured. He looked at the flashing shadow in the distance. He knew that the strong support that saved their lives had arrived. He did not blame the person for not appearing earlier. He only looked at the corpses of his comrades and wailed.
He was one of the first three people to be discovered by the zombies. He was in pain because they were the ones who attracted the zombies, but caused the entire team to be wiped out. The shadow appeared after the last zombie fell. It was Mu Peipei. Mu Peipei had been following these team members and saw their resistance from start to finish.
The appearance of over a hundred S2 zombies had actually frightened her. The courage of a dozen ordinary people to fight back had also shocked her. When she saw a group of ordinary soldiers holding bayonets and rushing towards the S2 zombies that were several times their size, she could not hold it in anymore. She had seen every bit of the cruel battle in front of her. The team leader's perseverance. He killed two zombies by himself, and then he hugged the third zombie and bit it. Some of the team members had their intestines pulled out, but he still used his bayonet to pierce through the head of the zombie that was biting his thigh.
Every scene of tragedy, every scene was tragic. The team members did not have the abnormal speed and agility of the zombies, so they could only use their bodies as bait. Every dead team member had to hug one or two zombies and perish together. Mu Peipei had never seen such courage in anyone, and it was this courage that ignited her fighting spirit.
There were less than a hundred S2 zombies in total, and Mu Peipei could see it clearly. From the moment the zombies appeared, she had been watching. Out of the 87 zombies, 5 had been killed, and after that, more than 10 had been killed by the grenades and bullets, while half of them were heavily injured.
Out of the 12 team members, 18 were killed. That meant that the number of zombies that died in the hands of the team members had reached 38. The zombies that were running at the front were the ones that were not injured. The remaining zombies that were killed by Mu Peipei were the ones that were injured by grenades and bullets.
It was easy for Mu Peipei to kill these zombies. The zombies' speed was not on the same level as hers. In addition, the zombies were fighting in close combat with her, and there were no long range enemies that she hated. Every zombie was easily decapitated by her metallic claws. This feeling was very strange. It was as if these S-Type zombies that everyone feared were lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and she was the butcher that these lambs feared the most.
Mu Peipei who was standing on the killing field had just woken up from the satisfaction of killing. She saw a few injured team members digging out the corpses of their comrades from the pile of corpses and moving them to the side. The heavily injured team leader was also carefully carried out.
The team leader only had one breath left. The military uniform on his upper body was torn to shreds, and the flesh on his front and back were bitten off by the zombies. His stomach was bitten open, and his intestines flowed out from the wound on his stomach. He laid on the ground, and his eyes swept across the team members that were still alive. Every time he saw a team member's bloody wounds, the light in his eyes would dim. Finally, he saw the only team member that was not injured. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the team member with trembling lips, as though he was asking for help.
The team member looked at the team leader's eyes, and with tears in his eyes, he nodded. The team leader's mouth hung a trace of a smile. With difficulty, he raised his right hand and saluted the team member. After that, his right hand fell down heavily. He no longer had a trace of strength. He only stared at the team member, his eyes were filled with sternness.
A few of the injured team members consciously walked to the team leader's side, lined up, and saluted their comrades. The team member returned the salute, and both sides finished saluting.
Including the team leader and the other team members, they quietly waited. In the distance behind them, countless zombies formed a corpse tide, rushing towards them. Mu Peipei stood among the zombies' corpses, and silently looked over here. She was waiting to see the ceremony between them.
The team member walked to the team leader's side, and took the pistol from his hand. The pistol was held too tightly, and the team member expressionlessly broke the team leader's fingers one by one. The crisp sound of fingers breaking fell into Mu Peipei's ears, and it made her shudder. She wanted to stop it, but she did not know how to stop it.
The pistol was taken away, and the team member took out a spare magazine from the team leader's waist. He clipped the pistol, opened the safety, and pointed the muzzle directly at the team leader's forehead. The team leader smiled and closed his eyes. "Peng …"
