Xiao Fan was shocked in his heart. It would be fine if these mutant zombies didn't show up, but as soon as they appeared it was two of them. Now there was some trouble.
He had just thought of the trouble when more trouble came.
The big zombie was desperately attacking the Hummer vehicle. Wang Zhan and several others kept shooting at it, but the bullets only left bloodstains on its head and face. Although it was injured, the shots weren't fatal.
Also, other zombies around kept trying to squeeze over, so they couldn't keep firing at this one zombie, meaning they were somewhat helpless against the big zombie for the time being.
As for the female bank teller zombie, after circling the building twice, it suddenly broke into a run at the speed of an adult man!
Leveraging the momentum from its running start, it leapt upwards from two meters away from the building!
Whoosh!
The zombie actually jumped nearly three meters high, directly grabbing the second floor window ledge and climbed up!
The guard at the window was a private who had just been promoted to one star. He hurriedly fired his gun.
But unexpectedly this zombie was very agile. It swayed its body to dodge the two shots. One shot hit its bulletproof vest and the other hit its steel helmet, failing to stop its advance.
The bank teller zombie howled as it climbed onto the window ledge. It swiped down with its claw!
A flash of blood later, several deep bloody gashes appeared on the private's chest. He was severely injured!
Seeing the zombie about to charge in, if it entered the second floor, Xiao Fan and others including Xu Qiang would definitely be in big trouble.
At this critical moment, Xiao Tian pounced over!
Without biting, he rammed straight into the zombie!
Having just climbed onto the window ledge, the zombie hadn't found its footing and couldn't dodge Xiao Tian's tackle. It could only lift its claws to take a swipe.
Xiao Tian suffered several more wounds but managed to slam the zombie forcefully down!
Xiao Fan immediately went over and made the private drink today's refreshed antidote, then called over the others.
"Stop shooting ordinary zombies for now. They can't climb up to the second floor. Focus fire and don't let this zombie get back up!"
The three privates all concentrated their aim on the zombie, preventing it from climbing up again.
And the zombie did try to rush up again, but concentrated fire from the three men drove it back down before it could reach the second floor, unable to gain a foothold.
The situation was at a standstill for the moment, but clearly they couldn't hold out for long. Once they used up their ammo, the first and second floors could both be breached.
Xiao Fan looked towards Xu Qiang.
"Any way to get back to the vehicle?"
"No problem, Commander. Watch me."
Xu Qiang went to the window. Reaching to his waist, he already had a grenade in hand.
He pulled the pin and hurled the grenade down.
This was no random throw, but aimed right at the group of zombies surrounding the female zombie.
A deafening boom followed as a fireball erupted among the zombies!
Over a dozen zombie heads exploded on the spot. Although the bank teller zombie wasn't killed, its steel helmet was blasted off!
After throwing the grenade, Xu Qiang immediately leapt from the second floor window and landed below!
With the area cleared of zombies for the moment, he was able to land safely. Once down, he dashed for the Hummer in three quick strides.
The engine roared to life and the vehicle sped off, attracting the attention of a large group of zombies lumbering after Xu Qiang.
With a group of zombies split off, Xu Qiang drove about eighty meters before stopping. He directly manned the mounted machine gun.
"You disgusting clowns, go die!"
Ratatat! Ratatat! Rattatatat!
The machine gun spit out fierce tongues of flame, mowing down the zombies like cutting weeds.
Xu Qiang targeted the bank teller zombie.
It was the first to chase after Xu Qiang, but also took the brunt of the machine gun fire.
Although it could run quite fast, it was no match for the vehicle. Xu Qiang had pulled ahead, keeping it at just the right range.
Sure enough, this zombie had some combat instinct, still trying to dodge. But such efforts were futile against the sweeping fire of the machine gun.
A burst of bullets severed one of the zombie's legs.
Tumbling to the ground with only one leg left, it could no longer stand back up.
Xu Qiang maneuvered the vehicle, continuously squeezing the trigger to pulp the zombies into bloody messes, not caring about ammo consumption at this point.
Under the frenzied firing the trailing zombies finally broke off, creating a brief vacuum.
Xu Qiang drove straight for the crippled bank teller zombie, grabbing a submachine gun to empty an entire magazine into its shattered head!
With the helmet gone, bullets easily finished off the zombie.
Xu Qiang quickly searched the corpse, soon finding a key.
Before the other zombies caught up, he was back in the vehicle, driving the Hummer directly towards the gas station's fuel tanks.
That was where the armored cash transport vehicle was parked.
With the zombie threat removed, pressure on the second floor lessened significantly. Xiao Fan watched Xu Qiang.
Xu Qiang quickly stopped by the fuel tanks, used the key to unlock the rear door.
He hauled out a bag and small case without checking the contents, throwing them into the Hummer before swiftly driving around the back of the building.
Without getting out, he grabbed the bag and case and lobbed them straight through the second floor window.
"Heads up, Commander!"
Xiao Fan rushed over to receive them.
Opening the bag revealed several million yuan in cash.
Xiao Fan only glanced before tossing it aside to quickly open the case.
A golden gleam shone as three brick-shaped gold ingots, each engraved with "1000g", sat neatly inside.
