Chapter 453: 251 Unreliable at First Glance (Second Update)

Just then, a young man beside him suddenly exclaimed, "Grandpa, quick, look! Those two are so incredible!"

Upon hearing this, the old man widened his eyes and looked in the direction the young man was pointing. What he saw were flashes of gold and black sword shades bursting ahead. Following that, the zombies began falling one by one, as if they were struck by a spell.

He couldn’t help but rub his eyes and squint hard, murmuring, "Zhuzi, am I seeing things? How come those zombies are dropping like flies?"

The young man clenched his fists in excitement, his eyes sparkling as he looked ahead, and said, "Grandpa, you’re not seeing things! Those zombies are really going down! Damn! We’ve really run into some experts this time! I knew there was a reason they dared to come help just the two of them, they’re so powerful! Aaaoow!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he received a slap to the head from the old man, making him cry out in pain. The old man glared at him discontentedly, "What’s with learning bad habits? Picking up cursing from others! You deserve it!"

The young man instantly deflated, whispering in complaint, "Grandpa, at a time like this!" As he spoke, he suddenly saw the old man’s anger flare up again and quickly said, "I’m wrong! Isn’t it enough that I admit I’m wrong?"

Suddenly, the old man’s face changed drastically, and he pushed him down urgently, "Be careful! Are you blind to the zombies? Have you lost your will to live?"

The cramped space was filled with the putrid smell of zombie decay. The young man turned his head in terror, only to see a zombie claw reaching in, its sharp tips a mere hand’s breadth away from him, about to grab hold! He was so scared that his face turned ashen.

The old man was also sweating profusely with fear, muttering incessantly, "Weapons... weapons... find a weapon, quick!"

The young man snatched up a steel pick beside him. The pick was as long as an arm; one end was sharpened to a point, while the other was wrapped several times with coarse hemp cloth to serve as a handle. As he grasped it, the unique roughness of the hemp rubbed against his palm. Recalling the scene he had just witnessed, a surge of great strength suddenly erupted within him.

"To hell with you!" he bellowed and fiercely clenched the steel pick, driving the sharp end hard into the zombie!

At that moment, the zombie had already ripped the window apart, and its half-decayed face was just entering through the window when it was hit by the steel pick.

The pick thrust upwards from below, stabbing into the zombie’s chin and penetrating right through to the back of the head.

Instantly, the zombie stopped moving.

The young man had not expected things to turn out this way. Staring in astonishment at the motionless zombie with its jaws open revealing sharp fangs and then back at the steel pick in his hand, he was still in shock. After a while, he swallowed hard and muttered to himself as if in a dream, "Did I kill the zombie? I... I killed a zombie! I actually killed a zombie!" At this point, he suddenly felt emboldened. Clutching the steel pick, he stirred it around in the zombie’s brain, then yanked it back out. His eyes turned fierce and wary, like a young wolf’s, as he stared out the window at the dense mass of zombies.

The old man was too astonished to utter a word, "Zhuzi... you... you..."

The young man had regained his composure. Glancing once more at Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye not far ahead, a flash of newfound longing and excitement crossed his eyes. He said to the old man, "Grandpa, I will protect you. They are strong. As long as we hold on a little longer, we will be rescued!"

The old man, perhaps thinking of something, opened his mouth but then closed it again. He clutched his walking stick with his withered hands, pushing the zombies outside the window away to a safe distance, and the standoff continued. Seeing this, the young man leaned forward, thrusting the steel pick sharply into the zombie.

He was clever, having tasted success a moment ago. Once again, he drove the steel pick into the zombie’s chin, it reached the back of its skull.

However, not everyone was as lucky as they were. Continuously, people were being dragged out from the windows by zombies, and even the doors were being pried open by the zombies, leaving no chance for the people inside to escape.

Heart-wrenching screams filled the air as one after another, living humans were dragged into the Zombie Group, to be cruelly torn apart and devoured.

Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye heard the commotion, their brows furrowed tightly. They exchanged glances and simultaneously rushed into the midst of the Zombie Group. The black blade and the golden sword gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight. With a flurry of blade flashes and sword shadows, more and more zombies fell dead at their hands.

Thousands of zombies might have seemed many at first glance, but they stood no chance against the pair’s frenzied slaughter. In just ten short minutes, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye had completely eradicated all the zombies in the area.

Just then, a hoarse bird cry echoed from the sky.

They looked up to see a flock of pitch-black crows circling in the sky. These crows were clearly mutated, each one incredibly large, almost matching an ostrich in size. Their outstretched wings cast massive ominous shadows on the ground, invoking an inexplicable sense of unease.

Though few in number, only around twenty, their large size gave the impression of an overwhelming swarm.

Bai Ye thought of the mutant sparrows they had encountered earlier. With a flick of his wrist, over twenty Sword Qi shot out in an instant. His speed was so fast, the crows couldn’t even dodge before they were pierced through by the Sword Qi, falling from the sky like dumplings.

Fang Yuxin cast a small Barrier with a wave of her hand, shielding them from the blood rain above. She said, "They probably wanted to feed on these zombies."

Bai Ye stood calmly within Fang Yuxin’s Barrier and said, "I know." (Want to know more exciting updates about "Apocalypse Resurrection: The Turn of the Secondary Female Character"?
