Apocalypse Cockroach

Chapter 238: Converging



The claw that possessed five sharp talons dropped onto the roof of the car and almost dropped off. The S2 that had suddenly lost its arm lost its balance and dropped on the roof. It wanted to regain its balance but before it could stabilize, Zhang Xiao Qiang’s right arm swung across its feet.

The S2’s left thigh separated from its body, even if the talons on its right leg could hook onto the metal roof of the vehicle, its body was slanted to one side. By the looks of it, it was about to fall off the vehicle. The talons stuck inside the metal roof screeched and drew multiple holes as the claws were drawn out.

“Shua” A yellow gleam swept past the S2’s remaining thigh. The second thigh dropped from the S2’s body, turning the S2 into a cripple as it dropped off the roof and its body swayed endlessly along the side of the vehicle.

Zhang Xiao Qiang’s pupils dilated, he gritted his teeth as he looked at the S2 beneath him and his grip tightened on the Rat King Blade that glistened with a crystallized light. The scythe-like blade had not a trace of stain on it. As Zhang Xiao Qiang swung the blade once more, the sharp blade drew a long and thin cut across the roof of the vehicle and missed the S2’s broken arm, but cut off the arm that was holding onto the vehicle, which fell beneath the vehicle.

Zhang Xiao Qiang kicked the zombie off the vehicle. He did not behead it, there was no need to do so, the crippled S2 could only live its life as a worm and crawl on the ground forever, and that was the torture Zhang Xiao Qiang had bestowed it.

Zhang Xiao Qiang pulled the gunner’s corpse into the HMG post and took out a loaded magazine from the ammunition chest, pulled on the safety and started firing on the HMG.

The hot flaming tongue from the muzzle reflected in Zhang Xiao Qiang’s eyes, making it difficult to differentiate whether it was the anger or flames that were within. Deep in his heart was a faint sense of guilt, if not for him wanting to save the people from the horde, the machine gunner would not have died. But he was already dead and there was no use of thinking about it, so Zhang Xiao Qiang vented all the anger on the zombies.

Zhang Xiao Qiang’s use of the assault rifle was merely trying his luck, but the use of the HMG turned him into a God’s assistant, his superhuman strength prevented him from feeling the intense recoil from the HMG, his sharp eyes allowed him to instantly revise his aim. He did not bother using the standard equipment of the machine gun provided and had both hands on the trigger.

Zhang Xiao Qiang treated the HMG as a rifle, although he engaged with single firing, the rate of fire was not slow at all. The gloomy gunshots connected into a single sound and gave off the feeling as though it was on auto.

The HMG bullets resembled shooting stars that smashed apart the zombies’ ugly faces and exploded their heads like watermelons. Broken bone pieces, brain fluid, and black blood fell like rain.

One bandolier had 250 bullets, zombies corpses laid all over the ground and both vehicles were converging towards the same location. Zhang Xiao Qiang stood up and pointed to an exit, to which the driver in the old tractor nodded to. He stepped on the pedal and swerved the old tractor around the off-road vehicle. The off-road vehicle did a 180 turn and collided into four zombies before following the old tractor behind.

The group of Type-S zombies that followed the old tractor now followed the off-road vehicle. Zhang Xiao Qiang loaded up another bandolier, turned behind and fired. The HMG bullets entered the crowd and exploded the head of the most front zombie.

Zhang Xiao Qiang had already cleared the route once and they only had to wipe out the zombies ahead that was slowly forming up again. The people squatting at the back of the old tractor started to show signs of hope, two of the 20 odd years-old male leaned on the wooden fence and gesticulated at the zombies Zhang Xiao Qiang killed.

“Bang….” The old tractor drove over a corpse and jerked upwards. “AHHH…” Two screams were heard as the two brave young men were flung out of the car. As the two fell, the people inside screamed for a stop.

Just as the old tractor showed signs of slowing down, “BANG…” A Type-53 7.62mm bullet shattered the left side mirror of the old tractor. The old tractor revved up once again, and even the people at the back no longer called for the tractor to stop.

Zhang Xiao Qiang looked at the two men who were drowned by the zombies. He turned the muzzle and sent two bullets into their glabellas, instantly shattering their heads.

To Zhang Xiao Qiang, it was merely a brief interlude. He turned back to the Type-S zombies and fired at them again. When his vehicle passed a building, he opened the ammunition box and retrieved the remaining 10 grenades and threw them to the side, then changed to a new bandolier and waited.

The changes in the zombies made Zhang Xiao Qiang suspect that they were no longer lacking in cohesion and made him warier.

In the distance was a four-story cafeteria with the signboard ‘Mother Yang’s Restaurant’ that was established recently, evident from the reflective ceramic tiles on the outside. A head the size of a monkey appeared at the corner of the building. Any ordinary person might not be able to see it, but Zhang Xiao Qiang’s sharp eyes caught sight of its bald and black patched head.

Zhang Xiao Qiang no longer cared about the zombies behind him. He carefully inspected the various buildings ahead of them, unsure how many zombies were laying in ambush inside them, he did not know the exact numbers, but there was a 1500:1 chance of Evolved Type-2 Zombies. There were about a million zombies in the town, even if half of them were Type-D or S zombies, there would be about 10 S2s.

A shadow fell from the sky and landed on the old tractor, causing the people squatting inside to endure the impact. No one realized that an S2 had appeared above them. It was like a Death God waving its scythe, coming to claim their lives.

The S2’s body was compressed when it dropped onto the old tractor, while Zhang Xiao Qiang’s HMG was constantly aimed at it the moment it leaped into the sky. When the S2 landed on the carriage, he pressed on the trigger and unleashed a barrage of fire onto it.

Sparks flew off the S2’s black body and formed blood holes on it. The S2 was shocked and could no longer compress its body. The power of the HMG bullets was capable of pushing it back, and Zhang Xiao Qiang did not stop firing for a moment, causing black blood to burst out of its body as it was pushed backward.

The old tractor sped along while the S2 was flung out into the air, which was all caught by the driver of the off-road vehicle.
