I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1588 - 1582: My Marksmanship Is Very Good

Chapter 1588: Chapter 1582: My Marksmanship Is Very Good

As Tianguang, the new generation of laser weapons, its power is naturally formidable. If used at maximum power, it could potentially kill a Level 7 zombie!

Even holding such a devastating weapon, Brother Shi’s reaction was still a second slower; he failed to hit the target completely. The blood splatter just now was only because Fei Zi’s arm was severed by the laser. But as a new human, such an injury wasn’t fatal.

As Brother Shi started shooting, Ghost Head and the others quickly stood up, wielding their own Tianguang and firing one laser beam after another toward the two figures. The two also reacted, moving as swiftly as monkeys among the trees, constantly shifting positions. At the same time, they picked up their own Tianguang weapons, ready to counterattack.

This scene turned Ghost Head and the others’ faces pale.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

At this critical moment, two sudden gunshots rang out. Ah Ping and Fei Zi’s heads instantly exploded, blood splattering everywhere, their bodies collapsing lifelessly to the ground.

"Ah... I..."

The sudden change left everyone stunned, unable to process what had just happened. When they finally came back to their senses, all eyes turned to Yong. Brother Shi stammered and asked, "Did you handle that?"

Yong didn’t say much, simply responding, "My shooting skills... are very good..."

"Alright then..."

Still in a dazed state, Brother Shi couldn’t fully recover and could only mutter that. Then he shivered.

"F*ck, stop standing around—let’s hurry up and run!"

With his words, the others also snapped out of it. A surge of relief filled their hearts. They didn’t dare linger for even a moment, taking off at full speed, running as far away from the city as possible. They didn’t even stop to catch their breath for half a minute, using every ounce of their strength to keep running!

It was unclear how long they’d been running, but eventually, the group reached the edge of the city, stopping at an empty car repair shop. Everyone was panting heavily, and after confirming they weren’t followed, they collapsed directly onto the ground.

"Phew, finally, we can catch a break."

"Haha! Escaping feels so good."

The group exchanged glances, smiles breaking out across their faces. Gasping for air, the burden in their hearts was lifted completely. Ghost Head looked around at the group, his face breaking into a genuine smile—as far as he was concerned, this might not have been such a bad journey.

After resting for about ten minutes, they felt they’d recovered enough. Bald Head approached Brother Shi and asked, "Does your brother have any plans for where you should go next?"

Brother Shi glanced at him briefly and then shook his head. "No. He only told me to escape from there."

"So, where do we go next?"

As the conversation progressed, Snapper chimed in, "We definitely can’t return to the Dangerous Sanctuary City. As for Kunlun—forget it. They’d check our military records and find out we’re deserters. The only option left seems to be heading to Bai Ling’s area."

"Bai Ling’s in Luqing City, right?"

"Correct. Luqing City is our only option now." Brother Shi nodded. Meanwhile, Bald Head pressed further, "Hey, check on your phone how far Luqing City is from here."

Brother Shi didn’t object. Among the group, only his phone could still function normally outside. He opened the navigation app, searched for Luqing City, and then said, "It’s 188 kilometers away. If we drive and nothing unexpected happens, it’ll take about six hours to get there."

"Is there a recommended route?"

"There is, but we can’t follow it. We’ll need to take a detour—a long one. Don’t forget, we might pass through other cities along the route. Who knows how unlucky we might get."

"By the way, I heard Kunlun executed a cleanup operation in Zhen City before. There shouldn’t be too many zombies there now, right?"

"That’s true. In that case, let’s detour through Zhen City."

"Alright, but first, we need to find a car. There’s no way we’re walking to Zhen City on foot."

"Alright, let’s get up and get to work!"

Brother Shi shouted to the group. Then, he stood up and pointed at the dust-covered vehicles piled up in the repair shop. "Let’s check if any of these cars are usable. If they work, we’ll drive them. If not, leave them be."

As Brother Shi gave the order, everyone stood up and began inspecting the abandoned cars in the repair shop. Only Yong stood idly by, staring blankly. The others had already accepted that Yong’s brain didn’t quite work like everyone else’s, so they didn’t expect him to do anything a normal person would. They instinctively left him to his own devices.

After a round of inspections, the results were disappointing. These cars hadn’t been used for a long time, and their parts were severely degraded. None of them could start. When the last car was declared unusable, Bald Head threw the rusty wrench in his hand onto the floor in frustration.

"F*ck, not a single usable car."

Swoosh!

Before Bald Head could finish complaining, Ghost Head, Crooked Neck, and the others heard the sound of a laser weapon being fired. At first, they thought someone was attacking them, startling them. But after confirming they were unharmed, they turned their attention to the source of the noise.

They saw Brother Shi darting out of the repair shop in a panic, followed by two zombies, their claws flailing as they staggered and chased after him.

"Take out these two bastards, quick!" Brother Shi shouted. Bald Head furrowed his brows and lifted his Tianguang, shooting each zombie in the head once. With two dull thuds, the zombies collapsed lifelessly on the ground.

"What’s wrong with you? How can you still get scared by zombies?" Bald Head said mockingly. Brother Shi rubbed his nose, retorting, "I didn’t know there were zombies inside! I thought they were just corpses at first. F*ck, when they suddenly stood up, it scared the hell out of me."

Bald Head didn’t reply, chuckling to himself as he approached the two motionless zombies. Their stomachs were rotten, with visible blackened organs inside, and black sticky fluid oozing out slowly.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Bald Head seemed to notice something. He pried open the skull of one zombie and pulled out an Evolution Crystal streaked with faint yellow lines.

"This is just a Level 1 zombie. How come it’s so slow?"

Hearing this, Brother Shi couldn’t help but snort, explaining, "How long has the zombie gone without feeding? When their vitality is drained, they slow down like this."

"Zombies can starve to death?"

"Of course."

"Alright, clearly this place isn’t safe to stay overnight. Who knows how many zombies will show up at night."

Bald Head said worriedly. While the Dangerous Sanctuary City had conducted a cleanup operation in this city before, not all zombies were eliminated. No one knew how many might still be lurking in dark corners, waiting for unsuspecting prey. Night was when zombies were most active, and the appearance of these two zombies indicated there were likely many more nearby!
