Chapter 38 – Encountering Wounded Soldiers

Editor: Callis & Dragon

The red rain continued to pour down for an entire day and night, only to stop on the second day, when the sun rose.

Su Ruizhe was there so they could eat and drink without worry, with homemade ice cubes from Song Chengshu, the room did not seem so hot. However, it wasn't as comfortable as lying on the bed in the villa. The lounge was so small that seven people and a cat had to sit sticking close together. It was a bit crowded.

The most important thing was that the zombies outside had been roaring like they had been stimulated, and it was incredibly noisy.

They waited and hoped for the rain to stop. When the sun went down, they could leave this wretched place.

After a restless sleep, they woke up around 4:00 p.m., and in an hour or two the sun would set. But when they looked out of the window, they shuddered. Those zombies, who were formerly fearful of the hot sunshine, no longer hid in the darkness. They roamed around in dense groups, not only in the hospital, but also on the streets outside…

Although they had some psychological preparation, when they saw the effect of this strange red rain on the zombies, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes.

“How can we get out of here later?” Zheng Jiahe watched the dense zombie groups downstairs and felt goosebumps rise all over his body. Originally, the zombies were afraid of the fierce sun. As soon as the sun came out, they would scatter and hide in dark corners everywhere. They could go out while the sun was still setting and the zombies had not yet gathered.

Now, however, it seemed impossible.

“We’ll leave the same way we came, there’s always a way out. What are you worried about?” Su Ruizhe nonchalantly took out a banana from the space and started nibbling on it.

Zheng Jiahe suddenly saw light in front of him. How did he forget that there was a big fighter like Su Ruizhe!?

“Xiao Zhe, turn something into a bomb for me. Or a bullet?” Zheng Jiahe leaned close and whispered.

Su Ruizhe smiled and put his left hand in his pocket. When he took it out, he had a round red bomb. He changed a cherry into the bomb according to the weapon guide.

Su Ruizhe, a small civilian, had never seen any weapons before. Without imagination, he could not make anything specific, he could only follow this book and change it accordingly. And he was still at the beginner's stage of weaponizing plants, so he could only make them according to the game he had casually played a few times. Fortunately, Zheng Jiahe, a game addict, was here, and he helped a lot.

Turning a cherry into a bomb was not the same as turning a pea into a bullet. The bullet was small, and did not consume much power. Turning a cherry into a bomb, on the other hand, was a little power consuming. But Su Ruizhe’s wood powers were at the third level. At present, his level of reserves was the higest in the world, but he wasn't worried about excessive power consumption.

Zheng Jiahe hastened to hide the bombs in his pockets like treasures that might come in handy.

“When you leave later, use your strength to throw it outside, and remember to throw it far away from us to attract the attention of the zombies.” Zhan Yun watched Zheng Jiahe’s movements with sharp eyes, and took advantage of the opportunity to speak.

After that was said, Zheng Jiahe flattened his mouth in displeasure. The bomb had to be used before it was even warmed in his hands.

No man could resist weapons. In fact, his eyes were filled with the image of guns for a long time, but he dared not speak. Now, he was barely able to get a bomb, but he didn’t realize he wouldn't be able to keep it after all. But now that he thought about it, he was happy to be able to bomb zombies.

After one bomb is used, just let Xiao Zhe make another one.

Eventually, the sun went down, but there were still a lot of zombies wandering around downstairs. They could probably feel food nearby, but they could not find a way to enter the building, so they could only circle downstairs. Those who were farther away, outside of the hospital, wandered aimlessly along the road.

“Zheng Jiahe, get ready!” As the voice of Zhan Yun dropped, Zheng Jiahe opened the window and prepared to use all of his strength to throw the bomb. When the bomb was thrown away in the distance, a dense burst of gunfire was heard from afar. Most of the zombies wandering downstairs were successfully attracted to the noise.

“Where did the gunfire come from? What’s the matter?”

“I don’t know. Did the government help us?”

“So fast? It can't be…"

“Listening to the sound, it should not be far away. Let’s go and have a look.”

This kind of heavy-firing gun was very rare in China, where gun control laws were very strict. It should have been a soldier who fired the gun. Anyway, they must go and see it.

“Okay.” Nobody had a different opinion.

Opening the door of the lounge room, everyone left one by one. At the back, Su Ruizhe carried Yu Dongdong, who held the cat in his arms, and went downstairs without a sound. It was really cute.

The off-road vehicle was taken out of the space. Although a lot of spots had gotten scraped because of the impact, the vehicle did not suffer any serious damage. It was from a high-end brand and the quality was very good and tough.

Zhang Shuoliang removed the previously blocked hole, and when everyone got into the car, Zhan Yun rushed out quickly. Most of the zombies were attracted by the gunfire, so at this time, there weren't many zombies blocking the road. As for those who were still on the road, Zhan Yun simply violently crushed them as he drove through.

Just outside of the main road, as they were ready to turn, there was a green army truck rushing past them, followed by a large number of zombies with sharp teeth and claws.

Zhan Yun frowned slightly and looked in the rearview mirror. As they had guessed, it was a military car and it should belong to a soldier. But after seeing where the truck was going, Zhan Yun immediately jerked the steering wheel, gave it a sharp turn, and chased it again.

“That’s a military car? Where are they going?” Song Chengshu also saw the army green truck.

“If I saw it correctly, they should be going to the hospital we just came out of…”

Sure enough, when the army green truck reached the hospital's gate, it rushed in directly, and then there was a succession of gunshots.

Zhan Yun felt that there was probably someone who had been injured, and they needed to go to the hospital to find medicine or other medical equipment, but the number of these zombies was really too much.

The off-road vehicle re-entered the hospital, and Zhan Yun used his ability. He moved the hospital's fallen iron door to the door's opening, stuck it on the wall, and was barely able to block the rush of zombies.

Although such a rough iron door will do little for the many zombies that came after them, it could still buy them some time.

The green army truck had stopped at the door of the emergency department building. More than a dozen soldiers were shooting and killing the nearest zombies, while others were carrying three or four people covered with blood into the building.

“Lieutenant! Has this area been swept through?” A young soldier with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked at the large hole in the wall of the emergency department building and asked anxiously.

“It doesn’t matter, we should still observe the surroundings!”, said the lieutenant. He was a dark-skinned man that looked about thirty years old. His arms were covered with gauze, and blood continuously oozed from them. Obviously, he was also injured.

“Lieutenant! There’s a car coming!”

“Who is it?”

“I don’t know… It’s an off-road car. It shouldn’t be from the people over there.”

“Get ready for battle!”

“Yes!”

As soon as they got out of the car, they saw a group of people holding guns and keeping their eyes vigilant…. wounded soldiers.

Yes, they were wounded soldiers. Almost everyone was injured. Counting the number of seriously injured people who were lifted from the military cars, a total of seventeen people.

“Who are you?!” Zhao Bing watched Zhan Yun and several of them, on guard.

“We are survivors. We just saw you, so we wanted to come and ask for some information.”

Zhao Bing glanced at them for a while. Although he thought they weren't too threatening, he didn't allow them to approach him. He just said in a cold voice, “If you wanted to ask when the government’s rescue forces will arrive, we don’t know. All means of communication are not available, and we have lost contact with our superiors.”

Zhan Yun was not surprised. Instead, he wanted to know what had happened to the soldiers.

“Can we go in? The zombies are coming around.” The entrance was not a good place for conversation. The iron door, which had been stuck on the wall by Zhan Yun's ability, had slowly started to loosen under the impact of the zombies.

Zhao Bing hesitated for a moment, looked in the direction of the door, and finally agreed to enter the building.

As soon as they entered the building, the zombies broke through the blockade over the gate and rushed in.

“A' Liang! Earth wall!”

Zhang Shuoliang once again closed the hole on the wall of the building with an earth wall and reinforced it with several layers. The zombies came a step late, and were locked outside, only to roar reluctantly, and dashed desperately against the wall.

“An ability user!” After seeing Zhang Shuoliang using his ability, the soldiers did not show any gratitude. Instead, they raised their guns and pointed them in his direction.

“What are you doing?” Zhan Yun frowned slightly. The attitude of these soldiers was really strange.

After a long standoff between the two sides, Zhao Bing stepped forward to signal for the others to lay down their weapons.

“Sorry, we overreacted.”

“What on earth happened?”

Zhao Bing wiped his lips, as if he did not want to say more. Instead, a soldier on the other side could not help but say, “We worked hard to save so many people, all white-eyed wolves!”

The author has something to say:

There are mice in the house. I didn’t sleep well at night because I was scared. There were all kinds of noises in the living room. I was scared to death. My heart was scared out of my chest!!!! I didn’t sleep last night. During the day, I was constantly woken up by the telephone. My whole person was muddled. My head felt a little dull. I don’t think what I wrote today was very good. I will repair it later.

[Small Theatre on the Street]

Aunt: I didn’t expect to see him for a while. Su Xiao Zhe put that man's thighs in my arms. It shouldn’t be difficult for me to hold them.

Su Xiao Zhe: What do you want to do with my husband?!

Zhan Xiao Yun: I won’t tell you that actually the biggest thigh in this team is Su Xiao Zhe! Get out!

Song Chengshu: Ah, it’s going to rain, cool!

Zhan Xiao Yun: Always doing dumb things, close the window! It’s not time for you to experience the speed of life and death!

Song Chengshu: ?

Zombie: Whoa… I’ll let you knock on my companion’s head now and then wait until I’m baptized by the red rain and see where you can run! Wow…

Su Xiao Zhe: The rescue team is coming soon. Do you want to follow?

Zhan Xiao Yun: Let’s go. You have everything I need!

Su Xiao Zhe: Help! He always attacks like an elite!

I don’t know what to write, so I have to play with the protagonist. (＾＿＾)

The author notes seem interesting now so I’ll just translate them. Also, I missed a few small theaters in the previous chapter which I added so check them out if you didn’t.

I will only be doing this one chapter this week because I’m really busy. I only have two weeks left before my classes end so I’ll be free by the beginning of May. I have a lot of time until my exams on May 14th so it’ll be good once I am at least done with classes and all my assignments!

Thanks to Everyone for all the support!
