Apocalypse Meltdown

Chapter 79: War in Death City

A maze was formed by the arrangement of the cars with each car packed with heavy things such as stones and rocks to ensure that it will stay in place. The wheels were even bolted to the ground to avoid being pulled by zombies. There were several empty spaces between each pair, enough for a single person to pass through. The people that were ordered by Chu Han formed a semicircle with that empty space as the mouth. Each group consisted of ten to fifteen people who were tightly gripping their weapons.

The maze filled the entire entrance of the base splendidly. It seemed to have been pulled out of thin air.

Upfront, the entry point could be seen. The large space was filled with dirt as white smoke seemed to profusely proliferate in that area. There was something on the dirt. Although they were unclear as to what it was, they could see that each of those places had a rope that stretched towards the maze they created.

Petrol was poured onto the ropes that had varying tags. Letters like A, B, C, and D were etched upon the ropes as Chen Shaoye who was holding a torch stood in front of one, waiting for Chu Han`s orders .

Cheng Xianguo, Ye Chen and Yue Zi each stood on top of a truck. So did Shang Jiuti and Bai Yun`er. Lou Xiaoxiao was standing beside Chu Han, tightly holding onto her gun. Everyone was assigned with a task and a spot to stay.

Everyone waited quietly as the successive roaring that was getting closer and closer was the only sound that could be heard.

Chu Han stood in the top of the tallest truck. He held his axe with his right hand while he gripped the megaphone with his left hand.

He was the general of the people in the base for this war. They didn`t have enough planning, equipment, and manpower. He distributed the tasks himself.

He was the leader of the people and the crowd only followed his orders.

There were only more than seven hundred of them against tens of thousands of zombies. If other people saw how Chu Han wanted to fight more than twenty thousand zombies with only a meager seven hundred people, they would label him a madman. They would think he was crazy. The vast amount of zombies could already allow others to predict what would happen to the seven hundred people, and that is complete annihilation.

But Chu Han did not falter as he already promised these people that they will win and thus, survive!

Their enemies were only a group of people without rationality and could not think, driven only by instincts!

Time slowly passed as the crowd held their breaths. The horde of zombies was slowly getting nearer and nearer, the awful smell of rotten meat already reaching the nose of the people of the base. The zombie`s incisors that were filled with dark blood could already be clearly seen especially with the sun illuminating the entire place. They were wearing tattered clothes and their skins were rotten and wrinkled. They mechanically staggered towards the base.

They first arrived at the place where the people of the base farmed fruits and vegetables. The vegetables were being crushed by their feet while some dark blood and rotten meat splattered on the ground. The people who worked very hard for those vegetables were fuming with anger. It was their food and they would have harvested it in a few months time, but they were now being flattened. Those vegetables would no longer be able to be harvested for they were now completely crushed!

The horde of zombies was getting nearer and nearer, squeezing through towards the place where the people were standing. They were almost there.

"Zone A, detonate!"

Chu Hans loud voice was amplified by the speaker. He stood in the command post, his posture straight and erect. He took his axe as he shouted. His face was so calm.

Chen Shaoye who was standing far away took the torch and lit the rope tagged "A".

Zi-----

The rope which was soaked with petrol was lit as it the fire streaked towards the maze of vehicles, like a fire dragon streaking through the skies. It rapidly spread towards the dirt zones. Soon, the rope had reached the place where the white smoke was coming from.

A lot of zombies were squeezing through in that place, paying no heed to what was happening.

The fire heated the place up until...

Boom!

A huge explosion suddenly occurred!

The explosion caused the ground to shake while the deafening sound spread throughout the place. The sound could even be heard in the inner buildings of the residential district. Dirt splashed from where the explosion occurred while countless heads and mangled organs was scattered across the place. They looked like fireworks that had been lit up and thrown into the air and then falling to the ground after a short time. A crater was created by the impact, filled with tattered zombie organs and body parts. The dark blood filled that space which now seemed to be a very murky swamp.

Chu Han looked towards that place as he laughed exaggeratedly.

More than seven hundred zombies should have been killed by that blast.

Shock extended in the heart of all the people there.

In a single moment, more than seven hundred zombies were wiped out!

Cheng Xianguo widely opened his eyes in disbelief. In all honesty, that explosion was so violent he started to ask himself how it happened. What did Chu Han bury in that place? A vast amount of mines? No. They were incapable of collecting those and in the amount needed to create that kind of result!

Ye Chen was also shocked. His usual neutral expression was now replaced with an expression of disbelief.

"Shit! Shit! Smart!" Yue Zi shouted excitedly as he could not stop himself from jumping up and down on top of the car.

The seven people within that middle circle were so excited they almost jumped in joy. They could see from the gap between the cars how powerful that explosion was, taking a lot of zombies out. A lot of people even hugged others while some simply smiled. That violent explosion was that shocking.

Bai Yun`er slightly twirled her hair as the cold eyes she used to look at Chu Han was now filled with an unknown color.

Shang Jiuti`s cheeks turned beet red as she jumped excitedly. She did make a good choice!

Chen Shaoye waved his arms excitedly and the cordial expression made his fat meat quiver, "Do it!"

Luo Xiaoxiao tried to suppress her excitement since she did not want to bother Chu Han at that moment.

Chu Han who was standing on the command post counted the time that has passed. The explosion earlier was not timed accurately thus only killing seven hundred zombies.

But it did not matter anymore since he had already mastered the rhythm.

On the other hand, the zombies paid no heed to the explosion that happened. They just continued to rush towards the people, steeping onto the bodies of their comrades. Pairs of rotten meat stepped on the muddy pond of dark blood and mangled corpses. They were incapable of rational thinking, hunger the only thing that was driving their movements.

"Zone B, detonate!!"

Chu Han`s voice sounded out from the megaphone, filled with dignity and ambition.

He wanted to win!

To win the war!

Zzz----

Soon enough, Chen Shaoye lit the rope marked with B.

Boom!

There was another explosion, this time taking out a grand total of nine hundred zombies.

Broken limbs were flying into the air. For the people, it was not at all disgusting. For them, it was a splendid way of starting the battle, giving them that extra optimism that surviving in this war was not that impossible at all!

The successive violent explosions perked the interest of the people who were on the residential districts, all of them peeking through the windows that gave a very wide range of viewing.

It was a miracle.
