Chapter 33 The Attack of the Corrupted
Interfered by the eerie shadows, the Titanic's speed decreased significantly, and countless zombies immediately surrounded it.
They formed a human ladder below, and then more zombies stepped on their bodies, continuing to climb upwards.
In just a few seconds, a hideous arm was draped over the deck.
"Damn it, what's going on today? Why are they all here?" Fu Xi frowned slightly and immediately ran to the driver's seat, urging the mechanic to start with all his might.
The Titanic roared like a beast, its speed increasing from tens to hundreds.
However, reality was cruel. The Titanic traveled a few hundred meters forward before being surrounded and stopped by zombies again.
"Captain, there are too many! We can't possibly shoot them all!" Li Xue said, holding a red-hot AK, her face full of worry.
Despite the help of the raiders, it only slowed down the zombies' climb.
Fu Xi immediately took out the multi-barrel electromagnetic gun he had developed, which contained several hundred hypersonic projectiles in the box.
"Li Xue, take it. There are too many zombies now, and the AK is no longer very effective." Fu Xi dared not stop to put up any more resistance.
He knew that zombies were just the most common type of creatures in the Black Tide; the fact that even the Dragon Kingdom's Dawn Organization had been wiped out was enough to show that it was something extraordinary.
"Li Xue, don't hold back, clear the way immediately, let's rush out!" As Li Xue loaded the high-speed projectile, several zombies had already climbed onto the deck.
Fortunately, the Raiders' radar immediately detected him and eliminated him, but the number of Raiders was too large, and even dozens of Raiders were exhausted.
"Ugh!"
Fortunately, Li Xue had already loaded the bullets by then. "Hey guys, I'm still here. Take your turn one by one."
"Bang."
With all three barrels fired simultaneously, the high-speed projectiles, carrying an aura of destruction, rushed towards the horde of corpses, unleashing deadly flames. In an instant, limbs flew everywhere, and blood splattered all around.
The roaring stopped abruptly, and the zombies that had been blocking the way vanished instantly, leaving only a deep pit.
The Titanic's speed also picked up again.
"Wow, this is high-tech! It's way more advanced than an AK-47; you could even call it a simplified version of a mortar!"
Li Xue looked at the electromagnetic cannon in her hand, unable to suppress the smile in her eyes.
"I'm right here, what are you all staring at?" With the surrounding zombies cleared away, Li Xue, full of fighting spirit, turned her gaze to the deep forest.
Countless zombies, as if guided by something, rushed toward the Titanic one after another.
"Good timing." Three high-speed projectiles were launched in an instant, and the approaching zombies were buried in the sea of fire before they could even get close.
However, the zombies seemed endless, one wave after another appeared. Fuxi, who was piloting the Titanic with all her might, gradually realized that something was wrong.
"What's going on? We've dealt with at least tens of thousands of zombies here. This is a small town; at most, it should be a little over ten thousand. How come we can't kill them all?"
Li Xue unleashed a barrage of attacks, and the zombie horde fell silent before it even got close.
Seeing this, Fu Xi was not happy for Li Xue who had gained the upper hand; instead, she frowned slightly.
"We can't go on like this. We only have a few hundred high-speed projectiles in total, but the zombies here seem endless."
"Once we run out of high-speed projectiles, the Titanic will fall again. We have to escape!" Fu Xi shouted to Li Xue as soon as she made the decision.
"Li Xue, don't worry about it. It's just a horde of zombies in the forest. Just deal with the zombies that are blocking our way."
A hint of sadness flashed in Li Xue's eyes, but she still listened to what the other person said:
"No problem, Captain. With me here, there's absolutely no way we'll let the zombies block our way."
With the zombies no longer blocking its way, the Titanic roared to life, immediately leaving the zombies that hadn't yet gotten close behind.
"Li Xue, how many high-speed projectiles are left?" Fu Xi immediately gathered resources; the night was still long, and he had to ensure the next steps.
"Captain, there were just too many zombies, we couldn't control them all at once, and now we have about fifty left!"
Li Xue felt a little embarrassed. Life in the apocalypse was too depressing, so she could only vent her emotions on the zombies.
Fu Xi didn't blame her. There were plenty of high-speed projectiles available; they just needed the materials.
"Alright, Li Xue, from now on, you don't need to fire as long as you're within ten meters of each other while driving. Let's try to get through today safely."
After traveling more than ten kilometers, the Titanic's speed gradually stabilized, giving Fuxi a chance to catch her breath.
"Driving at night is too dangerous. I was planning to turn off the lights and rest for a while, but I didn't expect this to happen." Fu Xi slumped to the ground, panting heavily.
The exertion he just experienced was considerable; it was the first time he had suffered such a significant drain since the Blue Light Power Station incident.
"Captain, have some water!" Li Xue came over with a bottle of beverage.
"Thanks, how's the situation around here?" Fu Xi didn't waste any time and downed her drink in one gulp.
"I've checked the surroundings and there's nothing wrong. We should be able to get through tonight safely!" Li Xue had also been quite exhausted, and she had lost a lot of weight during this period.
Her snow-white skin turned slightly yellow, and some muscle definition appeared.
"You can rest for the rest of the time. Leave the rest of the night to me." Fu Xi regained her strength with the golden stone and took over the task on her own.
"Okay, Captain, thank you for your hard work. I'm going to take a short rest."
Her warm, red lips suddenly kissed Fu Xi's face, and just as Li Xue was about to go to rest, the unexpected happened.
"Bang."
A loud crash resounded, and Li Xue staggered and almost fell, but fortunately Fu Xi caught her.
"What's wrong?" Li Xue's eyes narrowed, and she immediately picked up the multi-barrel electromagnetic cannon and went to the deck.
The Titanic tilted several tens of degrees this time.
"Such a big impact, could it be a geological disaster?" Here, surrounded by high mountains, it's not surprising to encounter huge rocks.
But what she saw next made her gasp. She went to the edge of the deck and looked down, where a two-meter-long dark shadow was constantly crashing into the ship's hull.
Each impact caused the hull to dent slightly.
"The Corrupted Ones," Li Xue shouted directly. These were the products of the dead superhumans, definitely not something that zombies could easily exploit.
Fu Xi saw the blurry markings on the other person's clothing; these were pictures from the USB drive. "These are people from the Dawn Organization. No, didn't they die in the Black Tide?"
The crashing sounds grew louder and louder, and the water level gradually dropped. The sudden drop immediately brought Fu Xi back to her senses.
"Li Xue, don't hesitate, kill him right now!" Fu Xi sped up again, adhering to the principle that if she couldn't beat him, she could at least outrun him.
"Leave it to me!" The high-speed projectile was launched instantly and struck the corrupted person steadily.
Flames shot into the sky, and a wave of heat swept over us. When the smoke cleared, only a large crater remained.
"Killed...killed?" Li Xue smiled, but a sense of unease was growing in her heart.
boom!
The sound of impact rang out again, this time from the bow of the ship.
"Oh no, he's not dead." Li Xue's pupils widened in shock as she looked down at the unharmed Corrupted One below, finally understanding where her unease came from.
However, this was not the worst of it. Another dark figure emerged from the deep forest, and its shape resembled that of a woman!
