Chapter 15 Support

Anna rushed up the stairs as fast as she could, preparing to go back to her room to retrieve the ‘Ultimate Yang Item’ designed to counter zombies.

‘It turns out to be 【zombies】 from Wu Wen’s country. The original Russian word for this thing is the same as that for zombies, but they are actually not the same thing.’

Even though we interrupted the ritual in time and prevented the zombie from evolving further, its body is still so tough… My axe can even split a small tree in half, yet it couldn’t even cut through the bone in its shoulder.

This is just a simulation practice with significantly reduced difficulty and controlled by the research institute.

The real “abnormality” will be even more terrifying~ My strength and skills are far from sufficient, no wonder the teacher disqualified me from the sports meet. I must train twice as hard after returning to school.

After sorting out her slightly chaotic thoughts, Anna was already standing in front of the master bedroom door.

Just as she was about to push open the door,

This book is first published online by 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞.

Tap~ (sound of a tongue)

Just that brief and crisp sound,

The fear it brought in an instant surpassed that of the zombies downstairs.

The sound drew Anna’s gaze toward the entryway channel beside her.

She clearly remembered that the master bedroom was the room at the far end of the entryway, with the door right next to the end of the channel.

But the channel in front of us continued to extend, turning pitch black in the depths, with no light strips attached and no end in sight.

The sound just now came from the darkness.

The fear grew with each passing moment of staring.

Suddenly, Anna vaguely saw something in the depths of darkness, slowly emerging and gradually revealing part of its body outline.

It was a terrifying being with a Tongue as its head.

They moved their feet as if they were living people.

It is about to emerge from the darkness, about to reveal some unknown and terrifying ultimate form.

Snap!

A hand slapped Anna’s shoulder quickly.

The sudden touch pulled Anna’s attention from the darkness. In the blink of an eye, the channel in front of her had returned to normal, and the end was just three meters away, where a vase stood.

” Anna, what are you standing there for at the door?”

Anna turned her head and saw that the person who had just arrived was Gao Yuxuan, who was wearing scholarly glasses.

Did you hear any strange noises just now?

“No… hurry up~ the class monitor and Luo Di won’t last much longer.”

This is a critical moment in this mission, and Gao Yuxuan has no time to think about anything else. Wasting even a second is like playing with his partner’s life.

The reason he followed them back to Ravenna was simple: his athletic performance was the worst in the group of four. Since even Anna couldn’t cut down the zombies, he certainly couldn’t harm them at all with his combat knife.

Gao Yuxuan had also made preparations in advance, storing a special item in his backpack, originally intended to provide medical assistance to his teammates, but now it might be useful in dealing with zombies.

Seeing that Gao Yuxuan had already rushed into the master bedroom and was rummaging through things, Anna followed him in.

The fear brought by the clicking of the tongue still lingered at the back of the tongue.

Even though she kept reminding herself to trust the research institute and to believe that this experiment would only trigger one abnormal event, the scene she had just witnessed could not be fake.

Anna said as she rummaged through her backpack:

“Gao, I just heard a snapping sound in the Channel and saw something that looked like a demon. I feel very dangerous.”

It’s strange that,

Gao Yuxuan did not respond, but instead took something out of his backpack with a highly focused expression. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a strange wooden box.

He seemed preoccupied with the zombies and the need to get back as soon as possible to provide support, and didn’t hear a word Anna said.

Gao Yuxuan also opened the wooden box to inspect it, and found rows of neat silver needles inside.

“This is… Traditional Chinese Medicine?”

Although Anna wasn’t from Huaxia Country, she was still familiar with the renowned traditional Chinese medicine.

With a major company almost monopolizing biomedical technology, these affordable and effective traditional Chinese medicine clinics, which are scattered throughout cities across the country, are an indispensable part of the medical system, especially enabling ordinary people to afford medical treatment.

She had the opportunity to try acupuncture, which helped her improve her physical condition in just one session, and she subsequently achieved good results in her physical education exam.

However, the silver needles stored in the wooden box were much longer than the needles used for acupuncture; the longest one was long enough to pierce an arm.

The item Anna retrieved from her backpack was the vodka they had drunk during the meal earlier—three bottles in total.

The first two bottles were her favorite 60° spirits, while the last bottle was Spirytus (water of life), a special vodka with the highest alcohol content on the market, reaching 96°. It is usually used to mix various cocktails, and Anna never expected that this stuff would actually be useful.

There were also torn-off Cloth Strips and a windproof lighter.

“let’s go!”

“good!”

When the two pushed open the master bedroom door again, they could hear metallic clanging sounds coming from outside, even from a distance.

“ Wu Wen!”

Having personally slashed zombies, Anna knew very well how difficult they were to deal with. Her concern for her best friend further suppressed the fear in her mind, and in the current situation, she naturally couldn’t think about that ethereal tongue-snatching sound.

We can only discuss a solution with everyone after the zombie incident is over.

The two rushed out of Ravenna at top speed, but the scene before them as they stepped out of the house stunned them.

The fighting sounds that could be heard just a moment ago have stopped.

The new silver-plated chainsaw landed right next to the Ravenna gate, but the most important blade was broken and could no longer be used.

Luo Di fell to the ground more than ten meters away.

His right hand was tightly pressed against his left upper arm, where three finger-sized holes were left, piercing through the muscle. The wounds were black and oozing blood and pus.

but,

An arm wrapped in a cloth sleeve lay on the ground in the front yard, with foul-smelling black blood flowing all over the ground. Judging from the rough cuts on the arm, it had been severed by a chainsaw.

Despite the damage from the chainsaw and the injury to his own arm, Luo Di managed to saw off one of the zombie’s arms.

The two people who didn’t witness the incident were incredibly shocked by Luo Di’s individual skill.

In reality, only Luo Di himself knew that this process was entirely due to the squad leader’s restraint, which gave him the opportunity to effectively cut the zombies with a chainsaw, a rather inflexible tool.

Moreover, the squad leader’s combat skills were simply not those of a high school student.

Ah~~

Black mist billowed from the zombie’s mouth. The loss of an arm fueled its rage, and it made Luo Di, the chainsaw user, its primary target.

The cloth shoes stood up and rushed forward quickly.

Luo Di, who had just managed to get up from the ground, seemed to be caught off guard and didn’t have time to dodge.

At the critical moment,

Something glowing flew in from the front door, arced through the air, and struck the zombie perfectly in the side.

With a deafening crash of shattering glass and a terrifying roar, flames drew in oxygen and spread across the zombie, quickly releasing a strong smell of alcohol.

The makeshift Molotov cocktail made of alcohol wasn’t very effective; the flames didn’t completely engulf the zombie, only partially burning its body.

The purest yang flames have a natural restraining effect on Yin corpses.

Even though the pus oozing from under the zombie’s skin can effectively extinguish the flames, it is still quite effective at putting out the previous burns.

Taking this opportunity, another object was thrown over.

This time, it wasn’t thrown at the zombie, but at Luo Di, who had just stood up.

Snap!

Catch it steadily.

This is a bottle of 60° vodka, and the bottle opening is not plugged with a burning cloth.

Although it did not meet the standard of 70-75 degrees for medical alcohol, it still had a certain disinfection effect, and Luo Di immediately poured the alcohol onto the wound on his arm.

Excruciating pain

Moreover, the erosion caused by Undead Poison is not something that can be easily cleaned up.

At that moment, a soft, almost imperceptible hand rested on Luo Di’s shoulder. This touch seemed to transport Luo Di back to the last moment before the holiday, back to when the class monitor had just approached him to invite him to participate in the internship.

A gentle voice came from under the mask.

“Leave the rest to us~ We’re more than capable of handling a crippled zombie with one arm missing. Don’t underestimate your teammates.”
