Chapter 9, Underground Sewers

"Who says foreign films are not stereotypical? This guy Ryan is truly acting like a cowardly little man." Wang Zongchao, who had already understood the plot, thought to himself as he watched this scene

Alice did not care whether it was Matthew's command at that moment; she hurriedly joined Wang Zongchao side by side. At this point, her handgun was out of bullets, but gritting her teeth, she grasped the iron pipe above the passage with both hands, bent down, raised her leg, and her long, beautiful leg was already wrapped around the neck of a zombie

J. D. was alarmed and desperately opened fire in an attempt to clear a path for Wang Zongchao, hoping to rescue him. However, due to the proximity of the zombies, they surged forward like a tide, overwhelming him in an instant. Although those behind made every effort to assist, they were ultimately unable to break through the narrow, zombie-filled passage.

In other words, the bloodstains on Wang Zongchao's hands far exceed those of any of them, and he may have even dissected numerous corpses, mastering human anatomy to achieve this. A person capable of such feats has essentially transformed their own body into a highly efficient killing machine

At this moment, Wang Zongchao bent his body, took a step forward, and sprang up, resembling a leopard moving through dense forest. In just one second, he had already moved forward six steps, swiftly inserting himself at the front of the line. Alice's silver-gray eyes gazed at him; Wang Zongchao calmly pointed forward and said, "Let Rain, Kaplan, and the others go ahead first! Hurry up."

Matthew nodded and pulled Alice, who was still trying to go back to save the others, saying with a sigh: "Trust him, that guy is a true warrior"

"You all go ahead; I will join you later. These guys cannot stop me!" Behind the horde of zombies that completely blocked the passage, Wang Zongchao's calm and indifferent voice could be heard.

The zombies right in front had lost their ability to move, but before their bodies could fall, Wang Zongchao suddenly lunged forward, one foot stepping ahead and the other foot supporting behind, like an iron plow tilling the land, steady as Mount Tai

The third vertebra below the cervical spine in the human body is the most fragile and can easily become dislocated. An ordinary person, if applying force correctly, can also dislocate the vertebrae of a skeletal specimen. Once dislocated, the outcome is at least high-level paralysis, which is no different from a fractured cervical vertebra.

The underground waterway is interconnected in all directions, and just behind the barbed wire is another waterway. At this moment, what everyone sees is that the waterway is packed with densely clustered zombies, filled with a strong desire for delicious food

With a loud bang, more than a dozen zombies fell down in the narrow passage, and the previously unstoppable advance was immediately halted

Upon witnessing this scene, Alice and the others felt a chill in their hearts. Such a familiar and fluid method of killing, as natural as dressing and eating, treated every joint of the human body as if it were a machine part, to be freely assembled and disassembled. This is certainly not something that can be achieved through over a decade of closed-door practice; it requires a substantial amount of "practical experience"

Then came the voices of Matt and Kaplan trying to persuade the cursing Ryan

In the dim, damp, and odor-filled underground sewer, the ground is covered with standing water and debris. The ventilation fan emits a dull buzzing sound, severely disrupting the auditory senses, while the small lights providing illumination every few meters are mostly damaged, flickering intermittently. The chaotic footsteps of the crowd are accompanied by the sound of splashing water, and in addition to this, the sound of dripping water and the occasional gasps from those around create an overwhelming sense of oppression

J. D decisively stayed behind. Once Wang Zongchao could no longer hold on, he could also provide fire cover, which was a way to repay Wang Zongchao for saving him in the laser passage.

The power of a handgun is limited, but in such a narrow passage, using weapons like submachine guns would only cause bullets to ricochet and turn one's own people into a beehive

As expected of the female lead from the original film, Alice is incredibly swift in dispatching zombies. However, compared to Wang Zongchao beside her, she appears rather inadequate. Wang Zongchao's left hand strikes with lightning speed, his fingers creating a blur of shadows that emit a sound reminiscent of a hissing python. Wherever he strikes, it is always at the lumbar region beneath the zombies' occipital bones.

Aren't you going to hurry up?" Wang Zongchao shouted as he temporarily blocked the horde of corpses and turned back.

The zombies moved sluggishly. Although there were constantly zombies attempting to rise, their lack of intelligence prevented them from working together effectively. Wang Zongchao supported several zombies that had been dealt with earlier, using them to block the claws of the zombies behind. Whenever a zombie attempted to stand, he would push forward forcefully, causing the zombies to continuously fall under the pressure and crowding. As a result, although there were always zombies wobbling and trying to get up, even more were being knocked down in the chaos.

However, with this delay, the zombies have already toppled the already precarious barbed wire and are slowly but steadily approaching the crowd. Although several mercenaries are continuously firing and have shot the heads off several zombies, the sheer number of zombies is overwhelming. Several zombies have already entered the underground passage where the crowd is located, and behind them, an endless stream of zombies continues to surge forward.

Matthew reacted the quickest, casting a deep glance at Wang Zongchao's somewhat indifferent face during the battle, and swiftly moved forward. The others followed suit, for they were mercenaries; in battle, mercenaries had only the team, not the individual. They could sacrifice themselves for the team at any moment and would never delay the opportunity for victory due to the sacrifice of a comrade.

Suddenly, a zombie's hand emerged from the barbed wire beside the sewer, emitting a low and desire-filled growl

Using the body of a motionless zombie as a shield, Wang Zongchao charged forward, resembling a mountain crashing down. His speed was both swift and fierce, causing the ground to tremble with the force of his momentum

Rein and the genius of the Sky Brain, Kaplan, are leading the way, while Matthew and Wang Zongchao are providing defense from the rear. Ryan has already begun to complain, stating that this is his second time on this road. Rein, who is already quite irritable due to being infected by the virus, loudly roars and pushes him against a steel mesh cage beside the passageway

However, that zombie is also unable to enjoy the tenderness of a beautiful woman's legs, for those legs, which showcase strong and smooth muscle lines, merely twisted and caused the zombie's head to tilt to one side, with its cervical vertebrae cleanly and decisively broken.

Ryan was terrified to death, but fortunately, there was barbed wire blocking him, preventing him from being dragged into the horde of zombies at once. In that moment, he struggled desperately and finally managed to break free from the clutches of the zombies, albeit at the cost of losing a jacket, and escaped.

Amidst a series of sounds resembling the cracking of bones like exploding beans, the upper lumbar vertebrae of five zombies were twisted and broken by Wang Zongchao's finger strength! Meanwhile, his right hand, which lacked a palm, was not idle; with a thick iron hook, he hooked the back of a zombie's head, and with a twist, effortlessly shattered the cervical vertebrae of three zombies.

Just as everyone was retreating, with a loud crash, another barbed wire fence fell between Wang Zongchao and the others. A large number of zombies surged out before anyone had a chance to react, instantly separating the group from Wang Zongchao, and completely cutting off his escape route.

"If I see your corpse walking, I will definitely kill you!" Rain shouted from behind, swearing as he fired an empty shot: "Don't let me see your ugly crawling corpse!"
