Chapter 527
Xie Xiaohua and Xie Yuchen worked together seamlessly, firing their specially made pistols in quick bursts. The bullets exploded into small bursts of fire on the corpses, which, while not fatal, effectively interrupted their attacks.
Wu Tianzhen and Huo Xiuxiu brandished their short knives and climbing axes, hacking away at the scattered monsters that pounced from the side. Although their movements were clumsy, they were filled with a desperate ferocity.
Yi Sa protected the unconscious Ding Yudie, using her agile movements to dodge attacks and occasionally kicking away approaching corpses.
Faced with the ultimate threat of death, the fat man finally unleashed astonishing strength and ferocity.
He broke free from Jie Xiaohua's hand, let out a strange cry, and swung a pale thigh bone, as thick as a child's arm, which was either left by a giant beast or a giant, as if it were a giant club, and frantically smashed it at the approaching rotting corpse!
Each swing was filled with his fear and rage, producing a dull thud that even broke the bones of several rotting corpses!
Amid the chaos, Huo Xiuxiu displayed an agility that belied her appearance. While parrying with her dagger, she quickly approached Ding Yudie, took out a small sachet with a faint medicinal fragrance from her first-aid kit, and swiftly stuffed it into Ding Yudie's clothes.
At the same time, she muttered incantations, her hands forming a strange hand seal, with faint, almost invisible cyan energy swirling around her fingertips, pointing towards the direction where the pursuers were most concentrated.
Although the effect was minimal, the movements of the few rotting corpses she pointed at noticeably slowed down, as if they were being held back by invisible threads.
Slaughter! Chaos! Escape!
They had been fighting for an unknown amount of time amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of bones, and had cut down countless rotting monsters that pounced on them. Everyone's physical strength was nearing its limit.
Zhang Hao's golden-red aura grew dimmer, and Zhang Qilin's sword-wielding speed slowed down slightly.
Jie Xiaohua's arm was slashed open by the claws of a rotting corpse, leaving a deep gash that exposed bone, and blood gushed out.
The fat man was panting heavily, and his movements with the bone club became increasingly heavy.
Just as despair began to spread, Zhang Qilin, who was at the forefront, suddenly stopped! With a sweep of his blade, he shattered several rotting corpses blocking his path.
"edge!"
Zhang Qilin's voice carried a barely perceptible urgency.
Everyone's spirits lifted instantly! They strained to look!
At the edge of this massive pile of corpses, a steep, jagged staircase made of natural black rock stretched upwards like the spine of a giant!
At the end of the stone steps, there was no longer false starlight or rotting darkness, but rather the long-lost, cold and real gray-white light that belonged to the summit of Kunlun Mountain!
That is the hope of life!
"Get up there! Quickly!"
Zhang Hao's voice was hoarse, carrying an unquestionable command.
He suddenly took a step forward, his hands forming an ancient and mysterious hand seal in front of his chest!
The dim golden-red light around him suddenly burst forth as if in a final burst of light, and then violently pushed backward!
boom--!
A blazing, towering wall of golden-red flames, several meters high, appeared out of nowhere and instantly materialized behind everyone!
The flames roared and emitted terrifying high temperatures, effectively blocking the surging tide of corpses and the highly corrosive black fumes spewed out by the giant tumor!
The wall of flames came into contact with the black mist of the zombie horde, bursting into a violent hissing sound and billowing smoke!
The wall of flames can only buy a very short time!
No one had time to look back. They mustered their last bit of strength and scrambled and crawled, using both hands and feet, towards the steep stone steps!
Xie Xiaohua and Xie Yuchen supported Ding Yudie, while Yi Sa and Huo Xiuxiu helped Wu Tianzhen, whose legs were weak. The fat man, meanwhile, tumbled and crawled forward on his own.
The icy air, mixed with fine snowflakes, felt like countless steel needles, piercing their burning lungs!
It brings the stinging pain and sobering realization of surviving a catastrophe!
