Zombie Apocalypse - Chapter 55
Chapter 0055 Conference Room
After Lu Haichuan was stunned for a while, he suddenly came to an epiphany.
One of them snatched the machine gun from one of the people beside him and shouted, “Come here, a few people. Everyone else, shoot from the spot. Don’t let the zombies climb up the city! Pour gasoline down and burn them to death!”
As he finished his words, he had already descended the stairs to the ground.
He was originally a very strong man. He held a machine gun in his hand and strode forward, looking rather heroic.
There were still dozens of meters away from the Pentagon. Lu Haichuan lay on the ground, set up his machine gun, and wildly shot at a D2 jumping zombie!
The D2 zombie completely ignored the bullets fired at him, but still struggled to hit the wall, wanting to enter the Pentagon until he died!
A few people who came down with Lu Haichuan saw this and became bolder. They even walked closer to the Pentagon and shot at the other D2 jumping zombies with their guns!
In the end, all the D2 jumping zombies were killed.
The people in the city fell into silence.
On the city wall, the city guards didn’t have time to pay attention to what was happening in the city. They were trying their best to survive.
After a moment of silence, cheers finally came from within the city!
People didn’t expect that such a terrifying D2 jumping zombie would actually be killed so easily!
Lu Haichuan slowly stood up from the ground, then his legs softened and he knelt on the ground again. He cried out in pain!
“I’ve earned it! I’ve earned it! My wife, my child! I killed sixteen D2 jumping zombies today, and I’ve avenged you!”
His crying had a strong appeal, and in an instant, the people beside him began to cry as well! Then, this sorrowful emotion began to spread throughout the city, becoming uncontrollable.
…
Inside the Pentagon, the sixth staircase in Area B on the nineteenth floor was completely silent.
The group of people walking over from the corridor were all speechless, unable to believe what was happening in front of them.
The monster known as the D2 Leaping Corpse King had already fallen to the ground and remained motionless.
Its head rolled down seven to eight meters away from its body.
The man with a single knife was panting slightly, as if his body was very tired. He was Qin An.
After being stunned for a long time, Chen Chuhe was the first to walk to Qin An’s side and said with some uncertainty, “Young man! Did you kill this zombie?”
Qin An turned his head to look at Chen Chuhe, and then looked at the group of people crowded at the staircase entrance. Looking at him as if he was looking at a monster, not only did his scalp feel numb.
He was too devoted, he didn’t even know when this group of people had arrived.
Qin An turned his gaze to Chen Chuhe. He smiled and said, “Yes, I killed this zombie! This zombie has just been born, and you said that it is still in its infancy. Although you call it the D2 Jumping Corpse King, its strength is not invincible!”
Qin An said this just to conceal his special ability. That was his trump card.
But Doctor Wang rushed over and shouted, “It killed more than a hundred people on the fifteenth floor! You still say that its strength is not strong enough?”
Qin An scratched his head with his hand and said, “I… I studied martial arts!”
Fang Lei stepped forward from the elevator and ran to Qin An’s side, “Big Brother!” What martial arts did you learn? Was it floating on the water or was it the Misty Steps? That speed of yours just now was too fast! It was as if it would move in an instant! I’ve never seen such a fast pace! I have also learned martial arts. I am the 37th generation disciple of the secular family in Shaolin. My name is Fang Lei! Let’s see if you can take me as your disciple and let me train as well! ”
Qin An was confused by Fang Lei.
As for Chen Chuhe, he was completely defeated by his own personal soldiers. This foolish boy was too honest. He believed whatever he was told.
Chen Chuhe grabbed Qin An’s hand and said to Doctor Wang, “I’ll leave the corpse of the D2 Jumping Corpse King to you!” With that, he strode away from the crowd and pulled Qin An away, bringing him back to the conference room.
The officers and men in the Pentagon were once again busy. They began to clean up the bodies of those who had died on the 15th floor and check for other uncertain risk factors.
Doctor Wang was ecstatic as he ordered someone to bring the corpse of the D2 jumping zombie back to the laboratory on the 15th floor. He was preparing to dissect the zombie. This was a biological specimen that he had never obtained before.
In the meeting room, Chen Chuhe and the other Pentagon managers gathered. Qin An finally had a seat of his own. Everyone did not speak and waited for Cheng Chuhe as the representative to answer the many doubts in their hearts.
Chen Chuhe said softly and formally, “Little brother, what’s your surname? I thought you said you were here to find a friend. You’re leaving now. I wonder where you’re going.” His tone and attitude were extremely amiable!
Qin An was somewhat flattered. After all, he was the commander of the Correct Army, and he was still a security guard a year ago.
Although they were all wearing uniforms, they were 108,000 li apart in nature.
If Chen Chuhe was counted as the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War, he, Qin An, was not even considered a local armed militia.
Therefore, Qin An did not dare to be arrogant and politely said, “Guild Leader Chen, my name is Qin An! After finding friends, I plan to return to our gathering place.”
Chen Chuhe nodded and then said, “What do you think of our Pentagon? Do you have any plans to stay? If you want to stay, you can bring all your friends from other gathering places over.”
Qin An was stunned. He didn’t expect Chen Chuhe to say that. He thought for a moment and then said, “The Pentagon is indeed a good place to seek refuge, but I don’t want to stay. I still want to return to the gathering place where I live!”
“Oh!” Chen Chuhe nodded slightly. He finally confirmed the conjecture in his heart. This young man called Qin An was indeed different.
He had the ability to kill a D2 Leaping Corpse King alone, but he refused to accept his own protection. This proved that his gathering place was definitely not simple.
After a moment of silence, Chen Chuhe said, “Little friend Qin An is really not a mortal! Although that zombie was just born and is still in its infancy, we have all experienced its strength personally. You can kill it on your own. I don’t think it’s as simple as martial arts, right?”
Qin An thought to himself and finally got to the point.
He smiled nonchalantly and said, “Commander Chen, we’re actually smart people! I know you’re just curious why I killed that zombie! I’ve practiced martial arts since I was young and trained hard for 30 years before I have the ability to do it today. This isn’t a day’s work, and I can’t pass it on to anyone!”
Chen Chuhe smiled. He understood what Qin An meant.
Even if Qin An had something special about him, he could not share his differences with others. Perhaps he wasn’t willing, or perhaps he simply couldn’t do it.
It would be useless for him to pursue the matter.
Chen Chuhe said, “Then, where is your gathering place?”
Qin An said, “Actually, it’s not far. Walk to the side of the Nine Dragons Mountain from here, then cross the Nine Dragons Mountain, and walk for tens of kilometers.”
Chen Chuhe nodded and stopped asking Qin An questions.
Just as he was about to say something to the others in the conference room, a soldier walked in from outside the conference room.
“Report!”
The soldier gave a standard military salute.
Chen Chuhe said, “What is it?”
The soldier said, “Yes, Lu Haichuan has already killed all the mutated zombies! He is currently cleaning up the ordinary zombies outside the city. He just sent someone over to say that there is a shortage of ammunition. I hope that we can reinforce them. If we can send someone to help them clean up, then they are willing to increase the taxes on entering the city to 60% in the future!”
The people in the meeting room were once again shocked.
Eliminate all the mutated zombies? This was even more impossible!
In their minds, sixteen D2 Jumping Zombies and a dozen D1 Giant Zombies brought a hundred thousand corpses to attack the city. The City of Destiny would definitely not be able to protect it.
That’s why they put all their people into the Pentagon, and gave up all those people outside, not making meaningless sacrifices to resist.
However, what news did this soldier bring? Is the soldier crazy? Or are they crazy?
Chen Chuhe sighed after a long time, and then said, “I understand Lu Haichuan. He won’t lie! Immediately send a thousand soldiers from the Pentagon to reinforce them, and then send their men over to collect ammunition! By the way, bring Lu Haichuan up, I want to ask what exactly is going on!”
After hearing this, the soldier seemed to be very excited and said loudly, “Yes!” Then, he quickly ran out.
Chen Chuhe looked at the soldier’s appearance and sighed slightly. It seemed that it was time to solve the internal problems of the Pentagon.
Ten minutes later, Lu Haichuan entered the conference room with a haggard face.
Chen Chuhe personally pulled a chair over and let him sit beside him. The other people in the meeting room also stood up and nodded at him.
Lu Haichuan sat down on a chair, took the tea from the guard, and drank it in large mouthfuls.
Cheng Chuhe waited for him to adjust his aura before he said, “Old Lu! I am truly ashamed! I told you to die outside while hiding in the Pentagon!”
Lu Haichuan smiled and shook his head, “Guild Leader Chen, I know your difficulties!” Although the Pentagon was safe, it could only allow 4,000 people to recover! However, there were 10,000 people in Fate City. If they all hid in the Pentagon, they would destroy the food supply system of the Pentagon. When the food was eaten up, everyone would die together! I can’t thank you enough for providing the greatest assistance to outsiders like us while you are protecting yourself! ”
Chen Chuhe nodded awkwardly. He really admired the man in front of him.
After saying those polite words, Chen Chuhe went straight to the point and said, “Old Lu, how did you kill those mutated zombies?”
Lu Haichuan did not conceal anything and told them everything that had happened outside the Pentagon. In the end, he said, “You really didn’t see the dozen D2 mutated zombies crazily wanting to enter the Pentagon!” They completely ignored the bullets fired at them, and they looked at death as if they were our Eighth Route Army’s anti-Japanese warriors back then! I’m also very curious, what exactly is attracting them in the Pentagon? I wonder if Guild Leader Chen can help me solve my confusion! ”
Chen Chuhe was slightly stunned. He finally understood. It seemed that the D2 Jumping Zombies outside were somewhat related to the D2 Jumping Zombie King in the Pentagon! Perhaps it was a low-frequency roar, or perhaps it was a brainwave! When the D2 Leaping Corpse King was about to be killed by Qin An, it must have released a distress signal to the outside world, causing the ordinary D2 Leaping Corpses to desperately attempt to break into the Pentagon!
Thinking of this, Chen Chuhe glanced at Qin An again, and then told Lu Haichuan everything.
Lu Haichuan’s eyes went straight when he heard this.
Only after hearing that Qin An had killed the D2 Jumping Corpse King did he look at Qin An with a complicated gaze, unable to move away for a long time.
Qin An was so reserved that he could only foolishly smile at him.
In the end, Chen Chuhe announced that the meeting was over and had the management of the Pentagon cooperate with Lu Haichuan to clean up the zombies outside the city. Although more than a hundred thousand zombies were terrifying, it was not impossible to destroy them all with the support of powerful munitions.
Lu Haichuan also bid farewell and left. He still had to go outside to direct the battle. After all, he was the commander-in-chief of the city guarding Fate City.
When Qin An and Chen Chuhe were the only ones left in the room, Qin An immediately stood up and wanted to take his leave, but Chen Chuhe left him behind and brought him back to his study.
It was a large room by the window on the nineteenth floor, with an area of more than sixty square meters. The interior of the room was simple to decorate, and there were only a few pots of green potted plants outside the sofa, coffee table, and desk and bench.
Chen Chuhe took a cigarette from the coffee table and lit one for Qin An. Then he said, “Qin An, I’m facing a big problem right now. Would you like to listen to me?”
