Chapter 299 – Returning to Defense
Zhou Hao wasn’t going to use a high explosive grenade right now, if he threw two high explosive grenades down directly, and it was so close to the Ghost Wall, it might blow the Ghost Wall loose, so Zhou Hao didn’t take the risk of doing that. Instead, he summoned two high-explosive grenades and threw them at the zombie group that was a bit farther away, so that he would be able to cut off some of the zombies, lest too many zombies swarm over.
While Zhou Hao threw the high explosive grenades, he also sprayed gasoline at the herd of zombies underneath the Ghost Wall, and also took the Ghost Sniper Rifle and shot Ghost Sniper Incendiary Bullets at the bottom.
“Poof!”
“Boom!”
“ROAR!!!”
The gasoline sprayed down, like rain on the zombie hordes, followed by the arrival of the Ghost Sniper Incendiary Bullets, which instantly set the gasoline on fire. When these zombie groups were burned by the fire, they immediately screamed, and in a short while, the zombies that were sprayed with gasoline were all burned by the fire. Especially those zombies that were pressed underneath, the companions above them were being burned by the fire, while they stayed underneath and were pressed so hard that they couldn’t move at all, as long as the gasoline flowed down, it would slowly burn these zombies underneath as well.
The front of the twenty meter wide Ghost Wall was packed with zombie swarms, and Zhou Hao was also spraying gasoline at these swarms of zombies. The gasoline had already been ignited with the Ghost Sniper Burning Bullets, so as long as Zhou Hao sprayed it down, the gasoline would all be burned. Zhou Hao stood right in the middle of the ghost wall and opened his hands to keep spraying gasoline to both sides, and in a short while, a wall of fire burned up in front of the ghost wall.
Because the bottom of the ghost wall was already full of zombies, and there were layers upon layers of zombies, now under the effect of the clothes worn by these zombies, the gasoline burning fire was even more intense.
A thick smell of burning, gasoline and black smoke filled the area, and Zhou Hao was choking so much that he couldn’t breathe, and his eyes were tearing up. However, Zhou Hao was still insisting on spraying gasoline, making the fire here even more ferocious, and those zombie hordes that were still trying to rush over suddenly didn’t dare to rush forward.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The two high-explosive grenades that Zhou Hao had thrown over also finally exploded at this time, instantly emptying that part of the street. All of the zombies that stayed within the range of the high explosive grenade explosions were blown away, instantly causing the zombies that were still coming over to stagnate. However, even if the zombies there were blown up and killed, the zombie group behind them immediately surged forward after stagnating for a while, as long as they didn’t get too close to those fire walls, these zombie groups still dared to rush over.
“Roar!”
The zombie horde kept on roaring, and those zombies that died by the fire, one by one, were burned into corpses, and then those corpses continued to be burned by the fire, burned into a hard charcoal. Those zombies that were crushed underneath were smothered and burned to death by the heat, and there was something in it for them anyway.
Because this place against the Ghost Wall had already been piled high by the zombie hordes, as soon as the fire stopped, the zombie hordes behind them would surely climb over the Ghost Wall from the new stepping on these zombie corpses. Therefore, after Zhou Hao had resolved the zombie hordes here at the Ghost Wall, he continued to spray gasoline on the zombie hordes that were farther away.
Those zombie swarms that had been sprayed with gasoline would definitely not run away at that time, but when the gasoline on their bodies burned, they instantly roared and ran in all directions. Those zombies that weren’t sprayed with gasoline, but because they were too close, they were also thumped by those zombies that were covered in fire, and then they were also burned.
For a while, the zombie group at the front position of the ghost wall suddenly panicked again, however, the zombie group further away, which was not threatened by the fire, kept jamming there and kept roaring.
Thus, on this street, it fell into a standoff again, but when Zhou Hao managed to stabilize the situation here, he suddenly heard the roar of the zombie horde from another street.
“Shit!”
When Zhou Hao heard those roars, he immediately understood what was going on, and why those members of the God Group had not shown up before, but instead left with a large group of zombies. It turned out that these guys were leading the zombie hordes to attack every street corner, and with five street corners, each of which had zombie hordes to attack, Zhou Hao would definitely have to run back and forth.
Even if he ran back and forth using gasoline to create a fire wall, the gasoline would run out. If the gasoline ran out, what else could be used to stop the zombies from charging?
In order to stop the zombie hordes on the streets, then the ghost wall must be very, very high, otherwise a ghost wall like the current one that was only five or six meters high would not be enough for these zombie hordes to stack up on.
Zhou Hao heard another street corner also has zombie swarm rushed over, frowned, immediately thought in his head that it is better to give up the defense here, turn to Li’s department store shopping mall there.
Anyway, the plaza had such a large open space, even if these zombie swarms covered the plaza, it would be easier to kill more zombies when directly spraying gasoline. Otherwise, just creating a wall of fire in front of the ghost wall would just be wasting too much gasoline, and not using the gasoline to burn the zombies to death.
When Zhou Hao thought about it, he immediately felt that this was feasible, Zhou Hao didn’t believe that these zombie hordes would still be able to charge into the Lee’s Department Store’s mall here. Zhou Hao didn’t believe that these zombies would be able to enter Li’s department store. He knew that the ghost wall there was even higher than here, and there were still a lot of people following to deal with these zombies.
Zhou Hao immediately jumped off the ghost wall, and then shouted to Coyote over there:
“Coyote! Coyote!”
“What?” Although there was the roar of the zombie horde around them, Wild Wolf still heard Zhou Hao’s shout, and turning his head to find Zhou Hao waving at him from the plaza, he immediately asked in a loud voice.
“Come back! Come back quickly!” Zhou Hao shouted loudly and waved at the wild wolf.
“……” Coyote understood what Zhou Hao meant, and immediately ran down the spectral ladder and ran over to Zhou Hao. Although Coyote didn’t know why Zhou Hao was doing this, Coyote still ran over as Zhou Hao wanted.
“What’s wrong?” Coyote immediately asked again when he arrived next to Zhou Hao.
“Don’t guard these places, those God’s group people are now having the zombie hordes besiege all the street entrances, which means that all five of our street entrances here are going to be attacked by the zombie hordes. We won’t be able to guard many of them this way, we can only go back inside the mall to guard them.” As Zhou Hao spoke, he also pulled Coyote to run over towards the Li’s Department Store Grand Mall.
As Zhou Hao and Coyote ran back towards Li’s Department Store, Zhuge Hongduan walked out from the door of the shopping mall, and when he saw Zhou Hao and Coyote running over, he immediately asked, “What’s wrong? Those zombie hordes attacked?”
Zhuge Hongduan said and also looked around the plaza, but did not see any zombies rushing in, and was puzzled in his heart while also guessing if Zhou Hao could no longer guard the place.
“Let’s not talk about it yet, quickly go inside and close the door tightly.” Zhou Hao said and rushed into the ghost door of the shopping mall, and when Coyote and Zhuge Hongduan also came in, Zhou Hao immediately closed the ghost door tightly.
“What’s going on?” Lone Returner was also here, and when he saw that both Zhou Hao and Wild Wolf had returned, his heart tightened, could it be that the zombie horde had really rushed here?
“Those places might not be able to hold, because those people had the zombie hordes all laying siege to the five street entrances, and I don’t have much gasoline to block those hordes. And that won’t kill too many zombies, the only way to do that is to let these hordes of zombies come here to the square, we only need to defend one place, we won’t have to defend five places at the same time, that way I’ll use the gasoline to better deal with these hordes of zombies as well.”
Zhou Hao said and ran up to the top of the second floor, the others were listening to Zhou Hao’s words while also running up to the top of the second floor.
On the first floor, Dokuroku Zero didn’t arrange for anyone to be here, because if the ghost walls here couldn’t stop the zombie hordes, then leaving these people here wouldn’t help. It would be better to have everyone on the upper floor, so that everyone can attack the zombie horde below, and at the same time, if the zombie horde breaks through here, it would be good for everyone to be able to run upstairs.
Lone Returner had also made a good retreat, still running upstairs, and now because Zhou Hao had something like the Ghost Wall, he shouldn’t be able to run away in a panic like he did last time. Moreover, if the zombie horde really rushed in, Zhou Hao could completely block the stairs here with the Ghost Wall, one layer at a time, still afraid of these zombie hordes rushing up?
Of course, it was fortunate that there weren’t any strong attacking zombies in sight, or else the Li’s Department Store would be in for a treat.
Zhou Hao quickly came to the second floor and looked out of the square through the ghost window. The roar of the zombie horde was coming from outside, and although there wasn’t a single zombie in sight, listening to the sounds, you could imagine how many zombies would be rushing into the area.
Zhou Hao looked around at the minions and realized that a few of them actually had a slight tremor in their feet when they heard these sounds. It wasn’t because they hadn’t seen countless hordes of zombies, but because they had seen countless hordes of zombies that scared them. At that time, it was in the Tianhong Supermarket that they had seen the dense zombie swarms, and looking at these disgusting zombie swarms had already left a shadow in their hearts.
Yesterday, they had just escaped from countless zombies, but today, they were actually surrounded by countless zombies.
Now everyone was waiting inside Li’s Department Store, waiting for those zombies to rush into the square. This waiting, is a very difficult thing, the body is not tired, but can let your heart bear a huge pressure tormented.
In fact, a lot of people want to hope that the zombie herd will not rush over, but, such hope is obviously impossible to realize, the zombie herd quickly from a street entrance there rushed into the square here, and there will be more and more zombie herd from the other street entrance into the square here.
