Apocalypse Meltdown

Chapter 84: Whack-a-Mole

It sounded like the raging sound of the horns of war as the people seemingly shouted some war cries. The excitement, the happiness, and the pent-up resentment they had towards zombies turned those people into highly motivated fighters as they shouted even more. 

"Kill!"

"Kill these assholes!"

"Come on, zombies! Are you afraid of me?"

The group of people in the maze tightly held into their weapons as an expression of excitement filled their entire faces. It was the final hurdle and they would be the victors when they kill all of the zombies!

They looked at the orientation of the place they were on then to the precisely calculated gaps between the vehicles where they stood to guard. The zombies only knew how to move forward, making their heads extremely vulnerable when they were squeezing forward.

All kinds of weapons were raised high and then they fiercely hit the heads of the zombies. One by one, the zombies` numbers were slowly whittling down as the act of killing them felt even easier than the game Whack-a-Mole. Dark blood and brain matter splattered throughout the maze.

Seven hundred people could not stand against the rush of more than three thousand zombies. But the situation was different, the zombies were coming one by one and they were scattered all throughout the maze. Any advantage gained during the fight could change the winner into the loser.

The maze was the geographical advantage Chu Han gave them!

It was only just then that the seven hundred people knew the purpose of the orientation of the maze. One of it was to scatter the zombies and then trap them inside the gaps. No more than a single zombie can squeeze through at a time and all the person behind the gap would have to do was wave his axe and hit the head that pops out. The danger index was so small.

This was not hunting in a cage, but hunting and killing inside a covered space where the zombies posed the least threat!

This time, the zombies were the hunted and they were the hunters.

Chu Han jumped from the command post into the ground, his axe hitting the ground with a loud thud. He was the one assigned to this place, the core of the maze which had the widest path.

The scattered zombies were distributed into the branch teams. It was only this part of the maze that had no covered space or compartment because he thought it was unnecessary.

This time, the people no longer needed a leader and his orders. Everyone only had one thing to do kill! The battle was started with a morale boosting war cry. Fear was inexistent as the people only had excitement in their hearts. It was the excitement of being able to kill the enemy that has destroyed their lives. The fighters had absolute trust in Chu Han, even getting to the point of worship.

In the main road of the maze, Chu Han stood with his axe as he waited for the zombies rushing towards his place. The zombies were scattered by the arrangement of the maze but the part where most of the zombies were going was this place. They staggered towards Chu Han.

Luo Xiaoxiao did not follow him; instead she went to the roof of the lorry behind Chu Han. She was tasked with the stray zombies able to break through Chu Han`s defense line.

The fifteen people who were armed with guns also stood by the lorries` roof. They also had to take care of the stray zombies that were able to break through their assigned groups. With the task at hand being so simple, it was assigned to the women and some children who barely had the ability to shoot, including Chu Han`s own group and Cheng Xianguo`s.

At that moment, Cheng Xianguo`s admiration towards Chu Han had reached a new height. He never thought of being able to witness such a grand scheme. He also never thought that the battle which seemed to be impossible to win was now just like a walk in the park. The fight was still not finished but they could already see the result!

Bai Yuner still wore her neutral expression, but her eyes now had an unusual sparkle as she looked towards the groups of people she was fighting with.

Shang Jiuti tried to calm her heart that was beating intensely, looking extremely charming and alluring in the process.

Ding Xue was trembling in excitement. She already steeled herself for the looming shadow of death that she thought was going to engulf her in this battle. Instead, she was shown a glimmer of hope that then turned into a pulsating beacon in the form of Chu Han`s planning.

Chen Shaoye just stood there, waiting for his chance to shoot zombies. He was only tasked with setting the ropes on fire. He also tasked himself with protecting and supporting Chu Han. However, at that moment1, his protection was unnecessary.

Chu Han`s face was tinged with persistence as he held onto his axe that was glinting with a cold light. Be it his previous incarnation or this one, he had never been afraid of fighting these monsters. He would not retreat.

Kill!

Chu Han waved his axe towards an incoming zombie. He didn`t even move his eyes, he did not even flinch, as the axe accurately hit the zombie`s head.

Brain matter burst out!

Two zombies then appeared, moving closer and closer until they were less than a meter away. Lou Xiaoxiao was so nervous that if she was in a car, she would have used two seatbelts to buckle herself up.

(Insert the sound of two heads bursting as brain matter drizzled out here)

Two successive sounds rang through Chu Han`s ears as the two zombies` heads were accurately hit by the axe. Brain matter splattered as the two zombies fell on the ground. Despite the gory scene, Chu Han still did not flinch as he continued to look towards the front. He then waved his axe for the third time. Five zombies scattered as they surrounded Chu Han, raising the difficulty of hitting them all with one swing.

However, continuous bursting sounds rang out without warning. Dark blood splattered everywhere!

Chu Han still did not move his eyes. Chu Han`s attack was that precise. Although the zombies were ceaselessly moving through the gap, not one of them came through. They were all killed by Chu Han.

Chu Han only waved his axe and the range of his attacks was small. It seemed just like a casual wave of the axe but it was able to precisely hit the heads of the zombies, creating the scene of zombie heads being smashed like a watermelon being ran over by a car`s wheels. If not for the loud sound of wind being split, no one would have thought how powerful that wave of the axe was.

In the residential district of the base.

The people who were hiding in their rooms were so shocked as they looked towards the direction of the maze. The hunter has become the hunted, a fact they can hardly accept. It was the same scene in every part of the maze as the zombies they feared so much were being killed very easily. The circles formed by vehicles were not cages while the survivors were not being used as bait by Chu Han.

It was the exploitation of advantages.

What was more shocking was Chu Han. He was single-handedly facing off more than five hundred zombies on the main path he was guarding. Even though the zombies were not able to rush all at once as they were forced to squeeze in just small groups, the threat was still very high. Normal people would have turned dizzy after waving an axe a lot of times, but Chu Han was not even feeling tired. Every wave of his axe was able to kill at least three zombies. He also didn`t have a geographical advantage since he was on flat ground.

Was he a monster?

Did they make the wrong choice? By now, even they could know the result of this battle.

"Die! Die! Just die!" Duan Ming was already turning into a zombie, but he was still trying his very best to hold on to that last wick of consciousness he has. What made him more unwilling to die was the scene before him, "Just let me witness the death of Chu Han. He must die!"

A pity though, since his shouting and his cursing didn`t work. One by one, zombies were falling to the ground as Chu Han`s every attack always took a zombie`s life. The vast numbers of zombies did not even pose a threat towards Chu Han as they simply looked like ants in front of his prowess.
