Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Corpse Child's Game
The seven corpse children stared at Zheng Jieming fiercely, with a smile on their faces, as if they were laughing at the fragility of the survivors' lives.
The uneasiness in Zheng Jieming's heart finally materialized———— everyone thought that they would be safe in the small building and safe with a gun, and they were still playing leisurely, slowly digging and nailing the doors, sorting food, and sorting out the tools, as if the zombies would not be besieged again.
But after only less than a day of rest, a new attack came again, and this time the zombies were completely incomparable to the previous ones. Compared to the normal zombies before them, these corpse children are more agile and fast, and they are also smaller, making it difficult to hit or slash.
Under the zombie apocalypse, a little carelessness will be exchanged for the loss of teammates. These brutes will not wait for you to bury pots, make good food, eat and drink, and build fortifications before attacking you, and may launch a surprise attack at any time.
"What now?" Qi Xian's arrogance was gone, but he kept retreating, his voice trembling.
"Plank!" Zheng Jieming suddenly thought that these glass windows may not be able to withstand the impact of zombies.
"What?" Qi Xian had lost his mind.
"Go to the cellar and get all the planks from the food shelves, and the bed! Whatever you want! Pin the window! Zheng Jieming's first thought was that there was no way out - since it was difficult to fight this kind of zombie face-to-face, he could only block it.
Among the seven corpse boys, five sat quietly on the ground and on the branches, staring at Zheng Jieming motionless with red eyes, and a faint smile on their faces, which seemed to mean: I just sit still and see what tricks you survivors can play?
The more Zheng Jieming looked at these corpse boys, the more frightened he felt in his heart, and he felt that these strange things seemed to be able to penetrate his mind. But I don't understand what they're going to do at all, these things aren't as eager to attack people as ordinary zombies, they're more like they're playing a game of life and death, like cats to rats.
A corpse boy had been hanging from a tree, his eyes looking in the direction of the crossroads. It suddenly let go and ran back towards the crossroads.
The other one circled around the trunk of the tree, looked up, and then jumped violently towards the small building and climbed onto the roof.
Qi first rushed to the cellar, swept down the neatly stacked food on the wooden shelves, removed the lap board and ran to the first floor. Dong Yuan rushed to the tool room on the second floor, found a long nail and a hammer, and the two immediately began to strengthen a window next to the door.
A corpse boy on the ground slowly crawled to the window, approached the glass, and then suddenly stood up, looking at Zheng Jieming with red eyes.
Zheng Jieming's heart beat faster, although there is a glass barrier, but in fact there is only a distance of more than 30 centimeters, and it feels like it is within reach. Facing the corpse boy up close, he could tell that the corpse boy was not smiling, but that his mouth was strangely split to the sides.
He pulled out his gun, but did not dare to shoot immediately. This glass is not bulletproof glass, if a shot is fired, it is equivalent to communicating with the outside world. The glass is two-layered inside and out, and it can withstand for a while.
Just as he was hesitating, the corpse boy suddenly slammed his head into the glass! Seven more radioactive cracks appeared in the outer glass at once.
On another hit, the glass spread into a spider web with seven cracks as the main stem.
A corpse boy on the tree jumped off the ground, and as soon as he landed, he kicked the ground with his hind legs, and collided with the glass, and the outer glass shattered.
"It's coming in soon, isn't it... You and Zhang Xiushan didn't get out of the two against one... There are seven of them here, and we are going to die..."Qi Xian was nailing a window next to him, he heard the movement, he was very frightened, his upper and lower teeth were fighting, and he could no longer speak well.
"Don't talk nonsense! Nail it quickly, nail it one by one! Zheng Jieming said. Even if the window in front of you is immediately breached, one less entrance is always much stronger.
The two corpse boys, one left and one right, began to take turns hitting the inner glass window, seeing that the inner glass window was about to be shattered, Zheng Jieming no longer hesitated, and without waiting for the corpse boy to hit the fifth blow, he immediately aimed the muzzle of the gun at the left corpse boy's head is a shot. The glass window, which was almost shattered, shattered, and the corpse boy fell to the ground. Counting the one that Zhang Xiushan sacrificed his life to kill, this is the second one.
Since sooner or later you're going to be smashed open by your scruples, it's better to fight with you now! While you stand still and don't run, one will die!!
Zheng Jieming dropped the muzzle of the gun and was about to shoot the corpse boy on the right side, but it ran away in a flash. He raised his gun to shoot at the other corpses, but they all scattered and disappeared.
"Damn, the little crumbs are too fast."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of hitting the glass was heard on the far right.
"Guard the window, as soon as this group of dogs comes in, hurry up and cut it!" Wang Yueshan slept for a while, and now he was full of energy, he rushed to this window and got ready. Hua Bong also ran over to support, and he held the Han sword on his chest, and his entire upper body was within the protection of the blade.
Seeing that the corpse boy was about to knock the rightmost glass open, the little beast suddenly stopped ramming and ran away to the side.
"What? Ran away? Wang Yueshan was confused, and he couldn't understand what these special zombies meant.
"Don't be careless, this thing is too fast, come back when you say it."
Suddenly there was a scream from the third floor!
"Is Zhang Xiushan's corpse changed?" Zheng Jieming heard the voice.
On the third floor at this time, Jin Yue had just opened the door, but saw two corpse children squatting in the corridor.
A corpse boy saw Jin Yue and immediately pounced on her, Jin Yue let out a rapid cry, dodged sideways, and the corpse boy jumped over her left shoulder.
"Be careful! There are zombies in the hallway! Jin Yue couldn't take care of herself, so she quickly opened her voice and shouted to inform the others. The other also pounced on Jin Yue, who jumped to the side, and rolled down the stairs with an unstable center of gravity.
When Li Yu heard the shout, he didn't care about helping Zhang Xiushan deal with the section, and pulled out his gun and went out to support Jin Yue.
As soon as he went out, a corpse boy pounced on him from the right side, Li Yu quickly turned around, and this shot hit the corpse boy in the head at a close range of less than ten centimeters from the muzzle. The third boy was shot and died.
Li Yu turned his head and shot at another corpse boy in the corridor, but this thing rushed straight forward, Li Yu missed two shots, the corpse boy had already rushed to the front, it hit Li Yu's chest again, this time hit Li Yu's injured ribs again, and he was knocked to the ground with a scream.
"Leave me alone, run!" Li Yu knew that it was not good, he felt that he was dead, and turned his head to let Jin Yue run first.
Jin Yue stood up, roared and rushed upstairs, heading straight for the corpse boy. Seeing that the corpse boy was about to bite Li Yu's throat, Jin Yue kicked it against the wall. Then Jin Yue grabbed the corpse boy's head and slammed it to the ground, and then she held the corpse boy diagonally in the air.
"Kill it!" Jin Yue shouted.
Li Yu lifted the pistol, pestled the muzzle of the gun on the corpse boy's head, and opened fire. The fourth corpse boy died.
"Meet your sister! Are you going to die in front of your mother? Jin Yue threw the body aside, bowed his head and scolded, Ye Ran also came out of the house, and the two pulled Li Yu into the house together.
What she didn't see was a corpse boy with a bloody mouth slowly climbing up to her head along the decorative ceiling of the corridor. This is the one that gnawed on Zhang Xiushan's arm and the corpse of the same kind.
"Be careful!" Li Yu was lying on the ground, pulled by Jin Yue, and was about to struggle to stand up by himself, when he raised his eyes and saw the corpse child on the ceiling.
But as soon as the words fell, the corpse boy pounced on Jin Yue's head, Li Yu pushed Jin Yue hard, and the corpse boy bit off the rails, but he still bit a large strand of Jin Yue's long hair and hung it on her hair.
Li Yu didn't dare to bombard with a gun, he reached out and was about to catch the zombie, as soon as he touched this thing, it immediately ran to the side, but its mouth didn't let go at all, grabbed Jin Yue's hair, and dragged Jin Yue backwards to the ground.
The corpse boy turned around and pulled hard, and Jin Yue's hair was ripped off by it, revealing a large area of scalp. The corpse boy then ran straight to the room at the end.
Jin Yue screamed, the two struggled to stand up, entered the house with Ye Ran's support, quickly turned around and closed the door, and slumped behind the door.
Ground floor hall.
Zheng Jieming heard the shouts and gunshots upstairs, just distracted, suddenly three corpse children rushed in from the entrance in front of him at the same time, Zheng Jieming didn't come to shoot, these three zombies did not pounce, after coming in, they scattered and ran to all corners of the hall, one jumped on the back of the sofa and got onto the chandelier, and the other two rushed to the staircase, looking back at everyone with a grin.
A corpse boy at the top of the stairs suddenly rushed towards everyone, Zheng Jieming raised his gun and was about to shoot, the corpse boy suddenly turned right and jumped onto the wine cabinet.
Rather than killing humans directly, the corpse boy seems to be more keen on playing human circles. They are unpredictable and have unknown intentions, but they can launch surprise attacks on survivors.
In the hall, Zheng Jieming, Wang Yueshan, Li Yimeng, Hua Feng, Qi Xian, and Dong Yuan shrank to the corner of the house when they saw this. Zheng Jieming raised his gun to shoot at the zombie on the wine cabinet, and the zombie jumped to the side, jumped back to the ground, and pounced on everyone in an arc.
Hua Feng was beside him and swung his sword at the corpse boy, but the corpse was small and jumped forward, and the sword swung into the air.
Li Yimeng rushed to the doctor, grabbed the wooden plank piled on the ground, and slapped it down while the zombie had just landed.
Seeing this, Hua Feng was afraid that the corpse boy would run away again, and regardless of whether he had photographed it or not, he plunged the sword into the wooden plank, and the sword was just inserted, killing the fifth corpse boy.
Counting the first corpse boy who was first eliminated by Zhang Xiushan, three of the nine corpse children were in the small building, and the other one was missing. But the survivors didn't know how many there were.
"Except for the flowers, they are all blocked with wooden boards!" Li Yimeng saw that it was effective and shouted loudly. The planks have a large area, and although the air resistance is high, they cannot be used, but they can block the corpse boy, which is more effective than a knife against the corpse child.
"Back down the hallway!" Zheng Jieming saw that the wooden planks could block it, and thought that he could block the entrance in the corridor to make it easier to cut and kill the corpse boy.
Just then, there was a crash at the gate.
This was followed by a series of slamming doors.
Dong Yuan looked out the window and found that a large number of ordinary zombies were rushing up the steps and rushing towards the door.
