63: Chapter 38: Surrounded (Part 1 of 2)

“What, Director Kang, are you trying to hide among the stewardesses?

Haha, but you’d need a sex-change operation first,” the bald man laughed brazenly, patting him on the shoulder, “It’s safest to stay at the back.”

“I…

I’ll swap places with Lin Weiguo, I want to be with you,” Kang Songde was anxious, he didn’t trust the combat abilities of Zhao Jingye beside him, so he immediately chose to be with Tang Zheng.

“Hey, what’s the meaning of this?

Do you look down on me?” Captain Zhao frowned.

He felt humiliated by Director Kang’s lack of trust.

“Haha, you want to pile all the pressure on Tang Zheng?

Even if he wants to kill all the attacking zombies, the zombies won’t be attacking him alone.

As long as you are standing in front, you are a target.” Lin Weiguo had no respect for such people and suggested just abandoning this guy, he was nothing but a burden.

“I better stay put,.” Kang Songde wiped the sweat off his forehead.

On second thought, that was indeed the case.

“If there are no issues, Sister Xin Lan, give him the M4A1 and a clip,” Tang Zheng stared into Kang Songde’s eyes, warning, “If you throw away this gun, I will leave you behind on the bus.”

“Absolutely not,” Kang Songde vowed inwardly.

Once they were back, Tang Zheng would be the one suffering.

“Once on the bus, Old Lin is in charge of driving, and I’ll protect him by clearing the zombies in front.

Everyone else stays in their current positions.

Because we might be surrounded and blocked by the zombies, the stewardesses need to keep busy, responsible for changing the clips for the firearms.

It’s crucial to pass the gun to the shooter as soon as possible.

Sister Xin Lan and Sister Qin Yan are still free agents and responsible for covering any leaks,” Tang Zheng let out a sigh and asked, “Does anyone have a problem or anything to add?”

Everyone shook their heads, indicating nothing further to comment on his well-constructed plan.

“Alright, did everyone understand my orders just now?

I’ll repeat it again,” Tang Zheng looked into each one’s eyes, “Stay at your post, we won’t abandon anyone.”

“But we won’t tolerate cowards, mind your behavior.” Lin Weiguo added sternly, he didn’t mind playing the bad guy this once.

“Final weapons check!” Tang Zheng took the lead, shouldering a travel bag, picked up the Howling Reaper and stood at the door of the security room.

Everyone mobilized, gathering behind him one after another.

“Move out!” Following Tang Zheng’s command, Lin Weiguo, already dressed in stone armor, rushed out first after slamming the door open, Tang Zheng followed closely, and the others trailed behind one by one.

There was no time for hesitation, delay might mean breaking the formation and putting everyone in real danger.

With so many people bursting into the second floor hallway, the wandering zombies were immediately alert, pouncing like hungry wolves that had caught the scent of blood.

Just within an hour, the number of zombies entering this floor had reached fifty plus.

It was apparent that the entire Oasis Hotel would be completely occupied by zombies by evening, becoming their den.

Seeing a dense pack of hunter zombies blocking their path and sprinting towards them, the moment they attacked, the stewardesses who had never experienced such dangerous situations turned white with fear.

Thankfully, due to Tang Zheng’s strategy over the past few days, they had killed common zombies and witnessed bloodshed, so they were not paralyzed by fear.

“No one else shoot,” Tang Zheng noticed the bald man and Zhao Jingye ready to fire and hurriedly stopped them, “Conserve ammunition, don’t empty your clips at once.”

Ratatatat, the MG42 machine gun in Lin Weiguo’s hands opened fire first, a barrage of bullets mowed down several of the hunter zombies at the front, causing them to fall screaming.

Then the zombies behind them started to get unlucky.

Especially when Tang Zheng fired the Howling Reaper, it was a complete devastation for them.

The massive .50 caliber bullets completely tore their upper bodies apart.

The heads of a few zombies were even blasted into meat sauce.

“Take the stairs.” Tang Zheng could imagine the horrendous state of the hotel lobby right now, it must be filled with zombies.

“Holy shit, what kind of gun is that?” The bald man was taken aback by the sight of the bloody corridor in front of him.

He instinctively looked at the MG3 machine gun in Tang Zheng’s hand that had caused all this.

“And what the hell is that armor you’re wearing, Lin?”

“This kid has been hiding secrets from us, that’s just mean.” Kang Songde and Zhao Jingye exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with apprehension.

Both Tang Zheng and Lin Weiguo’s combat powers had increased significantly, so surely Li Xinlan and Qinyan, who were with them, had also improved.

They regretted having spent days on the endless search for treasures that they never found.

It would’ve been better if they had just stayed with the group.

Zhao Jingye looked longingly at the Howling Reaper in Tang Zheng’s hand, while Kang Songde and the others coveted the armor on Lin Weiguo.

“The Howling Reaper, I’ll explain it to you guys later.

Now, prepare yourselves.

We’re approaching the first floor.” Tang Zheng didn’t have time to deal with their scheme.

As he stepped down the last stair, the sound of intense gunfire echoed as a massive horde of zombies poured into the corridor from the lobby.

The flight attendants were a little flustered, but their formation remained orderly.

“There are too many of them!

Let’s use the Human Train tactic!” Zhao Jingye suggested, his skin crawling at the sight.

Kang Songde and the others chorused in agreement.

“Shut up, no retreat, move forward.” Tang Zheng’s MG3 machine gun kept spitting death, the muzzle flame taking down the zombies in front of him one after another.

Seeing Tang Zheng advancing with a steady gait and a calm expression, stepping on a floor covered with blood and flesh.

Everyone felt more at ease and followed closely behind him.

“We can’t afford to waste time now.

And without the strategic corridors, how are you planning to use the Human Train tactic?

Also, Zhao Jingye, Kang Songde, stop daydreaming and keep an eye on our rear.” Tang Zheng turned his head a little, glanced at the formation and reminded them loudly.

“Remember, everyone has a role.

Zombies could attack from the rear at any time.”

“Understood.” Zhao Jingye was taken aback and immediately started watching their flank.

Kang Songde snorted disdainfully.

Stepping out of the corridor into the lobby, Tang Zheng continued shooting, but then he stopped, “Maintenance Worker, Bald guy, go to your positions.”

Everyone could see the bus that Tang Zheng had hijacked ten days ago.

It was still parked about twenty meters away, the friendly blue paint job making them all feel an urgent desire to leap inside it, close all the windows, start the engines, and flee.

However, they suddenly realized Tang Zheng wasn’t moving forward anymore.

“Why aren’t you moving?

Don’t you realize how dangerous it is here?” Kang Songde was the most concerned and couldn’t help yelling.

“Haven’t you noticed that even the common zombies are moving much faster than they were a few days ago?”

“I don’t need to explain.

Just do as I say.” Suppressing his anger, Tang Zheng didn’t have time to argue with this guy.

He was observing the terrain and conditions outside the hotel while calling for the female musketeer.
