From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 228

Chapter 228 Stone Statue Ghost

“What do you mean? What do you mean a living dead tomb?”

Chen Guangda slowly took a few steps forward and stared fixedly at the two men and one woman on the stage. The middle-aged man who spoke was not very tall. He wore glasses and looked ordinary. However, behind him was a large and sturdy man. His incomparably developed muscles were like a wild beast. Just by looking at him, it was estimated that this guy was at least 1.9 meters tall.

‘”Because once they leave this place, they will be attacked by the Stone Statue Ghosts. Their noses are very sharp. They can be found wherever they hide, but if they stay, they can only starve to death …”

The middle-aged man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at them with a numb expression. Regardless of whether it was the big guy beside them or the middle-aged woman behind them, they all had looks of utter helplessness, as if they had no intention of surviving at all.

“Stone statue ghosts? Why don’t they dare to come in …”

Chen Guangda frowned slightly. ‘”There are four pieces of unprotected iridium 192 in the cabinet. They are very afraid to get close to these things, but they like to stick to them like flies, so we can only stay here and wait for death!” The other party pointed at an iron cabinet in the corner. He thought that the name “Stone Statue Ghost” was very apt, but he said, “There are four pieces of unprotected iridium 192 in the cabinet.”

“What 192? Why don’t you take them out …”

Chen Guangda looked at the other party with a surprised expression, but Cong Xiaowei said, “Iridium 192 is a synthetic radioactive material. It is usually used by factories for metal flaw detection. It can penetrate 30 mm thick steel plates in half an hour. As long as you approach it for a few hours, it will leave permanent damage. If you carry it around for less than a day, you will be heavily crippled or even die!”

“I’ll go!”

Everyone was shocked. He immediately dodged to the side in horror, Stay away from that damned tin cabinet, and the glasses man also said, “I’ve already said that although the stone ghosts don’t dare to approach Iridium 192, they like to stick to the vicinity of Iridium 192. Some of us had been desperately rushing out with Iridium 192, but many of them chased after us, so you can imagine the final outcome!”

“Where did those stone statue ghosts come from? Why are they always nearby …”

Chen Guangda was puzzled, and the other party continued, “According to our speculation, they should be mutated organisms produced by nuclear radiation, so they always like to surround areas with radioactive materials, but they do not dare to absorb too much, so Iridium 192 is their best choice!”

“Could it be that they can absorb radiation and strengthen themselves …”

Chen Guangda’s eyes widened in shock, and the other party nodded and said, “Yes!” “They were just giant bats at first, and we accidentally discovered that they were afraid of the Iridium 192 container, so we took it out to block their attack, but as they absorbed more and more radioactive material, their bodies grew bigger and bigger, and even the living corpses became their food!”

“We’d better leave this place quickly. They should have a better hiding place …”

Yan Qing took two steps forward and stared at the other party. Sure enough, the other party nodded and turned around. As they walked towards the stage, a group of people immediately chased after them. No one wanted to stand in such a dangerous place. However, Xiaowei sighed and said, “Looks like we guessed wrongly. The lack of food was just one of the reasons for their suicide. Iridium 192 was probably the culprit that caused their real despair!”

“That’s right! Compared to being killed by radiation, it would be better to commit suicide …”

Chen Guangda nodded his head in sorrow. He turned around and jumped onto the platform. The group of people walked all the way to the back. They stopped in front of the deepest room on the platform, and the door was pinned with twisted metal plates, just like many glittering patches.

“Lead plates can block radiation damage. We’ve used all the lead we can find on them, but it’s not very big. We can’t stay with so many of you …”

Eyeglasses knocked lightly on the door and pushed open the door and directly walked in. Inside was indeed a small lounge, but even the walls were covered with iron plates and aluminum plates. A double bed was already dirty to the point that it smelled an indescribable stench from afar.

“So many people have died, why are you three the only ones who survived? How did you survive …”

Chen Guangda walked to the door and looked around. The glasses man was silent for a while before he said, “The restaurant next door was opened by my wife and me. I rented a small warehouse here because the goods couldn’t be put away, but the small warehouse had to be flipped out of the window to get there. As long as we run fast, we won’t be caught by the stone statue ghost!”

“Oh! I understand. You didn’t tell anyone about this, so they all started to eat when they were hungry. You guys are hiding here and secretly enjoying the delicacies, aren’t you?”

Chen Guangda laughed mockingly, but the big guy said anxiously, “The warehouse is mostly filled with beer and drinks. There is not much food to fill the stomach. If we take it out for everyone to eat for a few days, what can we do if we don’t eat it secretly? Could we hang ourselves together with them?”

“Alright! There’s no need to worry about this anymore. I guess your food is almost eaten up. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have said it out loud …”

Chen Guangdahao waved his hand carelessly. He directly walked into the room and lifted the curtains. He discovered that the fog outside had dissipated quite a bit. Even the sky was beginning to brighten up slightly. Thus, he pondered for a moment before saying, “We have to find a way to leave this place quickly. If we continue to waste it, we will all be finished!”

“If there was a way to leave, we would have already left. There are sixteen of them …”

Eyeglasses looked at Chen Guangda dejectedly. He didn’t even have the slightest bit of fighting spirit, but Chen Guangda didn’t hesitate to say, “Didn’t they like to stick to Iridium 192? Then let’s take out two of them and put them in the car. Then we’ll drive out together. They shouldn’t all chase after us in one breath. If we only chase a few of them, we’ll have a big chance of winning!”

“Isn’t this too risky? What if all that stuff comes out …”

Eyeglasses took a step back in shock. He never expected Chen Guangda’s idea to be so crude and simple. However, Chen Guangda sneered and said, “Then you can stay here and wait for death. Anyway, we will definitely go out and fight. Anyone who wants to leave, hurry up and follow us!”

“Brother! Don’t hesitate. If you stay any longer, you’ll only die …”

The big man looked anxiously at the glasses man. However, Chen Guangda had already picked up the Corpse Claw Spear and turned around. Everyone outside followed him without hesitation. Chen Guangda returned to the hall and shouted, “I need two warriors to take out Iridium 192 and cover for us all to board the car!”

“I’ll do it …”

The big guy suddenly strode out of the back and ran out of the arena. He put on a pair of leather gloves and opened the tin cabinet. The so-called Iridium 192 was completely inconspicuous. It looked like four ordinary metal bracelets. After he took it out, he immediately put it into two round containers. Then he stood up and said, “As long as the lid is closed, it is harmless. It will only work if it is opened!”

“Hu Zhiqiang! It’s your turn to show off now. Our hands can only hold weapons …”

Chen Guangda turned his head to look at a group of traffic policemen. Who knew that Hu Zhiqiang and the others would immediately turn ashen. No one dared to touch that thing. However, Chen Guangda directly pulled a container and stuffed it into Hu Zhiqiang’s embrace. He coldly said, “If you continue to f*cking whine, I’ll directly pin it on your head!”

“Alright, alright! I’ll do it, I’ll do it …”

Hu Zhiqiang nodded his head trembling. Cold sweat immediately seeped out of his forehead. Without saying a word, Chen Guangda led everyone to the door. The big guy consciously opened the lid of the container and walked out. However, Hu Zhiqiang was like holding a landmine. He took a lot of effort to unscrew the lid and then walked out like he had lost his parents.

“Hula ~”

As soon as the two of them walked down the stairs, a flapping sound of wings immediately came from outside. Black shadows quickly spread out from all directions. Obviously, they could also feel the intense radiation of Iridium 192. Chen Guangda immediately ran out with a group of people and shouted, “Hu Zhiqiang!” “Get on the front and back of the carriages. When I notify you, throw the containers out!”

A group of people quickly climbed into the car. More than forty people only squeezed into six cars. The big guy got into the first car without hesitation and drove himself. Chen Guangda and the others also squeezed into the second car. When he honked his horn, the six cars immediately rushed out of the town. A large black shadow quickly jumped up from the roof and directly flew high above them.

“Shit!”

Chen Guangda’s heart sank. There were at least eleven or twelve stone statue ghosts that flew up in one breath. Apart from the few they had killed earlier, they had almost all set out. Unexpectedly, before he could regain his senses, the first car suddenly let out a muffled thud and crashed into a minibus. Chen Guangda didn’t have time to brake and directly crashed into it.

“Dong dong dong …”

The six cars immediately collided with each other like sugar gourds. The airbags in the car almost exploded in one breath. When Chen Guangda raised his head in dizziness, the big guy was falling off the car. The container in his hand fell to the ground with a clanking sound and rolled down the slope.

“Quickly snatch it back, quickly …”

Chen Guangda cried out in horror. He hurriedly kicked the door open and rushed out. However, the big guy was obviously hit hard. He tried several times but didn’t get up. Just as Chen Guangda was about to pounce on him, a black shadow suddenly descended from the sky and blocked his path.

“Ah …”

A few screams suddenly came from behind. The stone statue ghost grabbed a corpse from somewhere and smashed it down. Hu Zhiqiang, who had just gotten off the car with the container, was immediately knocked over. The container in his hand flew out with a “clang” and quickly rolled down the slope like a running rabbit.

“Finished …”

Chen Guangda’s heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley. He never thought that these animals would actually use their brains. Several stone statues and ghosts immediately descended one after another. Most of them circled in the air like they covered the sky and the sun. However, Chen Guangda suddenly rushed out of the Corpse Claw Spear behind him and roared angrily, “All of them, fight with them!”
