Apocalypse Cockroach

Chapter 254: Post-haste Retrea

“Your luck isn’t bad, just by relying on these 20 members, you managed to protect over a few hundred people, but you have to be more observant in the future. You won’t be so lucky the next time. Are there more S2 zombies behind? Bring me, let’s go and take a look...”

Zhang Xiao Qiang brought Yang Ke’er and Shangguan Qiao Yun to the back and cleared the S2s behind. With the majority of the S2s were killed. Initially, Zhang Xiao Qiang had the intention of leaving half of the survivors and bringing the rest to escape from the back. Although he had confidence in his own team, he was less confident against a large group of S2s.

But everything turned out fine. Yang Ke’er changed her equipment, explosively increasing her lethality. This difference increased their overall strength by an entire level and with this opportunity, Zhang Xiao Qiang naturally took it to kill the remaining S2s. This way, it was possible to bring the few hundred people back safely....Zhang Xiao Qiang returned to the main hall and looked at Three, “How many S2s do you think chased all of you before?”

Zhang Xiao Qiang took on the aggressive stance and led the two girls to the back. Aside from the mess outside and the broken wall, they did not see any S2s. The rubble from the broken wall sealed the path to the outside but they did not have the time to clear a path. Therefore, Zhang Xiao Qiang led the group back to the hall, he wanted to lead the survivors to charge out of the coalfield’s main entrance.

Three, “Not too many, I think there were less than 40.”

Zhang Xiao Qiang immediately did some mental calculations; they had killed seven of them at the entrance of the main building, four were killed by HMG fire, another unfortunate died to a random bullet when they entered the coalfield and Zhang Xiao Qiang’s team had killed over 30 of them. Did it mean that all the S2s were killed?

“Right, Brother Cockroach, this is the Leader of the fle...” Three pointed to the man with the blade and introduced, but was cut short.

Zhang Xiao Qiang, “Gather everyone immediately, prepare to evacuate. Get everyone to board the vehicle outside. Those who are unable to, run with me towards the doors.”

Following that, Zhang Xiao Qiang turned to the stranger with the weird weapon combinations on him, “Hand over all your weapons, I’m in charge around here from now on. This is my territory and no one can hold personal weapons.”

Zhang Xiao Qiang’s words caused the men to become anxious. One of the younger and rash men spoke up, “Based on what, who do you think you....”

He stopped abruptly. The four HMGs in the hall turned and aimed at him simultaneously, the assistant gunners already loaded the bandoliers and the machine gunners had their fingers on the trigger, ready to fire at any moment.

Seeing that it was unfair, the man with the blade stood forward and thought to speak up.

“BANG BANG BANG...” Zhang Xiao Qiang drew the Desert Eagle and fired three shots at the ceiling, causing paint, debris and cement chips to fall. He ignored the dust that had fallen to his shoulders and looked at the man, “I don’t have time to negotiate with you guys, drop your weapons immediately or I’ll kill...you...without... mercy.”

“Clank....” A shotgun was thrown to the ground. Following that, all the other weapons came forward as well. Zhang Xiao Qiang glanced at the weapons from the corner of his eyes and looked back to the man with the blade. The man laughed bitterly, then took the pistol from his waist and handed it over to Zhang Xiao Qiang. Zhang Xiao Qiang took it without looking at it and threw it to the ground. The man then proceeded to throw his blade to the ground.

“Keep that to yourself, sometimes, the blade is better than the barrels.” With that said, Zhang Xiao Qiang turned towards the door.

The three machine gun teams carried the HMGs out of the doors, leaving behind a small group who stared blankly at one another. Three looked at the man with the blade, “What’re you guys stoning for, quickly get your people to come and do whatever my big brother says. Get your people to be quick on their feet, or are you guys waiting to be eaten by the zombies?”

“But those things are still out there....”

“Hmph....didn’t you see how my brother and his people came? Let me tell you this, all of those things have been exterminated, they were all killed by my big brother. Quickly, I can’t be bothered to explain anymore.... Get your people to move quickly. Don’t bother about your things, we have everything.”

The man listened to Three, looked at Zhang Xiao Qiang who was already outside, then turned to his companions and roared, “Are all of you deaf? Why aren’t you guys greeting him? Inform everyone else, discard everything, whoever’s unwilling can just stay here, we won’t wait for them.”

“Instructor, are we just going to let them manipulate us? Don’t you think we should...”

The man hailed as instructor looked at the boy who spoke as though he was looking at an idiot, then turned to the rest, “Why aren’t you guys moving? Are you guys itching for another beating?”

All of the men ran down the building quickly, one of them too anxious and fell down. Without even making a sound, he climbed back up and continued down the building.

The instructor turned and glanced at the HMG behind him and muttered to himself, “How did I even train out a group of idiots? Didn’t they see the guns aimed at them?”

While the group ran down, Three brought the 10 members from the rooftop down and ordered them to protect the group before running ahead to Zhang Xiao Qiang’s side, “Brother Cockroach, it’s chaotic outside and the zombies are less than 500m away from us. Regardless of how we use our guns and cannons, those things are still rushing towards us...”

“It’s pointless to talk about it, just urge them to be faster, we only have 10 minutes left for them to retreat...”

A female scream in the distance interrupted his words. Zhang Xiao Qiang quickly ran to an off-road vehicle and jumped onto its roof. In the distance, he noticed a group of people that had blockaded a path and stopped moving. He turned to Three and shouted, “Go and check them out, if anyone’s intentionally causing chaos, kill them...”

Zhang Xiao Qiang suddenly thought of an idea. He pulled a coalfield driver to a large truck and pointed to the abandoned vehicles, “Create a path for me.”

The latter did not even say a word and took action. He rushed up the large truck and started the engine. With a loud roar, the small vehicles in front of the large truck were either pushed or flipped away. The sore and high-pitched metallic sound came out as the abandoned vehicle beside Zhang Xiao Qiang got deformed. When the large doors appeared, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xiao Qiang kicked open the car door and spoke to the driver, “Drive straight back to base, get Old Frank to prepare and welcome the new people. With so many of them, he’ll definitely be busy.” With that, Zhang Xiao Qiang jumped down the vehicle.

After witnessing the large truck driving out of the gates, Zhang Xiao Qiang looked behind him and noticed three off-road vehicles with HMGs installed on them driving over. He flagged one of them down, entered the HMG post and spoke to the gunner, “How much ammunition left?”

“Four boxes, I guess that we still have around 6000 bullets.”

Zhang Xiao Qiang looked at the crowd behind, waved his hands and ordered the three off-road vehicles to drive out of the coalfield.

From the inside, everyone could hear the cannons and fires of heavy machine guns. But when they came out, the scene before them shocked the entire group, including Zhang Xiao Qiang.

Firstly, the original earth-colored ground had turned completely black. Within the black sea of zombies, occasional bright, dazzling flashes and smoke would appear. Eight thick beams of light that consisted of numerous small lights fired away within the black sea of zombies, instantly shredding apart the countless zombies. Wherever the beams of light went, the space within the area would instantly turn blur.
