Chapter 5

"Damn, Your Majesty, did you take some kind of performance enhancer? You're so freaking awesome?"

Seeing Huang Shang sweep away two zombies like a killing god, even smashing their heads with a single blow, Liu Xin, who had just been pulled back from the brink of death by Huang Shang, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

In real life, it's not like in the movies; human heads aren't watermelons. As a top medical student, he naturally knew how much force it would take to crush an entire head!

"There are still more than ten, too many!"

However, Huang Shang didn't respond to Liu Xin's words. He just looked at the other zombies rushing over and said in a deep voice, "Keep your distance from them, don't engage in close combat!"

After killing three zombies, Huang Shang's strength had almost doubled, and he could handle individual zombies without much trouble. However, the problem was that 11 people had died in this car accident, and the medical staff who had been bitten were also gradually getting up and turning into zombies. They still had to deal with about ten zombies!

In such a relatively open area, even being surrounded by three or four zombies would be extremely dangerous, let alone ten or more!

So, in the next moment, Huang Shang pulled Liu Xin back.

Behind them was a crash barrier set up earlier. Although it couldn't stop the zombies, it could at least hinder their movements to some extent, giving Huang Shang a chance to pick them off one by one!

"Your Majesty, have you been working out lately? You seem a bit thinner, and your muscles are even showing!"

As he retreated with Huang Shang, Liu Xin quickly noticed the more defined muscle lines on Huang Shang's body and was startled.

He knew that although Huang Shang was strong, he had always been a bit chubby. Even without a big belly, he wouldn't have much muscle. But now, upon closer inspection, Huang Shang seemed much more lean and muscular.

Was it just an illusion? It didn't seem like it was before...

"Less talk, be careful, they seem to be speeding up..."

Huang Shang ignored Liu Xin's words and frowned as he watched the zombies chasing them from behind.

The zombies' walking speed seemed to be increasing continuously. Although it hadn't reached the attack speed they had shown earlier, they were no longer stumbling but were running at a trot!

Even if they couldn't catch up, this speed was enough to put pressure on them. More importantly, zombies never seemed to tire. If these zombies spread out, ordinary people might not be able to escape their pursuit!

"We can't let these zombies leave the quarantine zone!"

Thinking of this, Huang Shang's eyes narrowed.

Outside the quarantine zone were the vehicles that were already congested. Although there weren't too many cars on the road due to the fog, there were still quite a few. If these zombies left the quarantine zone, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Fortunately, the longer the zombies had been transformed, the faster they seemed to move. So, the zombies that had transformed first quickly pulled ahead of the ones that had been medical staff, and the group began to break apart!

This gave Huang Shang an opportunity!

"Liu Xin, look for a chance to attack and help me distract the zombies, but be careful!"

Seeing the distance between the two waves of zombies, Huang Shang finally stopped and grabbed a section of the crash barrier from the ground, smashing it at one of the zombies.

These common conical crash barriers were filled with sand and weighed over 20 pounds. An ordinary person would find it difficult to even lift one, let alone throw it. But with Huang Shang's strength doubled, this weight was nothing.

With a full swing, the crash barrier lifted off the ground and flew like a cannonball, passing over the leading zombie and smashing into the second one.

Bang!

The 20-pound crash barrier, propelled by Huang Shang's immense strength, created a terrifying impact, lifting the emaciated, 80-90 pound zombie off the ground and sending it flying back half a meter. It landed heavily and couldn't get up for a moment.

At the same time, Huang Shang leaped forward, swinging the crowbar in his hand and smashing it into the leading zombie.

He used the crash barrier to hit the second zombie to prevent them from surrounding him!

This wasn't a game; a single mistake could be fatal!

Bang!

Although zombies were stronger than ordinary people, Huang Shang was even stronger. With one strike, he sent the zombie flying, its head shattered, and it landed like a rag doll, twitching a couple of times before lying still.

After killing several zombies, Huang Shang had overcome his fear. Once he overcame his fear of zombies, dealing with them with his current strength wasn't particularly difficult.

After smashing the leading zombie, Huang Shang didn't stop. He took another step forward and swept the crowbar, smashing it into the head of the zombie he had knocked down with the crash barrier.

Bang!

Another dull thud, and this unfortunate zombie didn't even have time to stand up before its head was smashed, and it fell heavily to the ground, with brain matter splattering like a rain of blood.

If it were an ordinary person, even with Huang Shang's terrifying strength, they might find it hard to endure such a bloody and brutal scene. But who was Huang Shang? He was the city's top forensic doctor, who had seen countless corpses and wouldn't be scared by such a scene.

So, after killing the second zombie, Huang Shang didn't stop but continued to charge at the other zombies.

"Come on, come on, over here!"

Meanwhile, Liu Xin was making noise and throwing things at the zombies to attract their attention.

After seeing Huang Shang's terrifying strength, Liu Xin naturally wouldn't try to be a hero. He just attracted the zombies while keeping his distance to avoid being caught.

With Liu Xin distracting the zombies, and Huang Shang's strength, speed, and reaction time improving with each kill, he became increasingly calm and composed, making his efficiency in killing zombies even higher!

Soon, the seven or eight leading zombies were all killed by Huang Shang, and the four that followed were lured away by Liu Xin.

These were the last four zombies!

"Damn, we actually succeeded!"

Seeing Huang Shang almost clear out the zombies, Liu Xin couldn't help but cheer and prepared to shake off the zombies transformed from medical staff to let Huang Shang finish the fight.

However, perhaps due to the sudden relaxation after the tension, Liu Xin became careless. As he turned, he stepped on a pool of blood. The blood, mixed with brain matter, was extremely slippery, causing Liu Xin to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

At the same time, the four zombies pounced toward Liu Xin.

"Aaaaaah!"

Seeing the zombies pouncing at him, Liu Xin, who had fallen to the ground, was stunned and let out a series of screams, holding the crowbar in front of him and closing his eyes.

If it were just one zombie, he might have been able to resist, but four zombies were far beyond his ability to handle!

This time, he was definitely dead!

"Liu Xin!"

Seeing Liu Xin slip on the blood and about to be devoured by the zombies, Huang Shang panicked, roared, and swung his right hand, throwing the crowbar!

Whoosh—Bang!

Huang Shang was using his full strength, and the crowbar flew the short distance and struck one of the zombies, knocking it off balance and preventing it from pouncing on Liu Xin.

"Get away from me!"

At the same time, Huang Shang leaped forward like a cheetah, running at an unprecedented speed, kicking another zombie to the ground, and grabbing a third one, throwing it away.

Finally, just as the fourth zombie was about to bite Liu Xin, Huang Shang grabbed its neck, stopping its mouth just five centimeters from Liu Xin's face!

Liu Xin's life was saved!

But at the same time, a sharp pain suddenly came from Huang Shang's left calf!

He looked down and saw that the zombie he had knocked down with the crowbar had grabbed his calf and bitten it hard!

"Aaaaaah, die, you bastard!"

The pain in his calf and the panic of being bitten by a zombie made Huang Shang both shocked and angry. In the end, he bent down, grabbed the zombie's neck with his left hand, and yanked it hard.

Although zombies were stronger than they were in life, the one that bit Huang Shang was a thin female zombie, not very strong, so it was easily pulled up by Huang Shang, but it also tore a chunk of flesh from his calf, causing blood to gush out!

But in his rage, Huang Shang didn't care. He roared and slammed the two zombies he had grabbed by the neck together.

Bang—Crack!

After killing about ten zombies, even though the enhancement effects from the zombies were gradually diminishing, the cumulative effect had still doubled his strength.

In the face of such strength, the skulls of the two zombies seemed less hard!

With a loud crash and the sound of bones breaking, the skulls of the two zombies were shattered, and a mixture of blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, even covering Huang Shang, turning him into a blood-soaked figure!

But the deaths of these two zombies didn't quell Huang Shang's anger and panic. After killing them, he threw their bodies aside, picked up the crowbar, and, like a madman, smashed the last two surviving zombies!

Under Huang Shang's frenzied attacks, the two zombies that had been thrown and kicked didn't even have time to attack before they were smashed to the ground, their brains splattered, and they died on the spot!

Thus, the ten or so zombies on National Highway 107 were all killed by Huang Shang alone!

But at the same time, he paid a terrible price!

At the wound on his calf, the skin was gradually turning black and purple, and Huang Shang was almost no longer feeling the pain!

This all meant one thing!

The virus was spreading!
