What's on the fourth floor? Of course, it's a large number of living corpses!
"You pig…"
Yue Yunfei angrily pointed at Boss Hu and shouted, but he didn't have time to criticize anymore. While shooting at the hunters charging at him, he frantically yelled, "Run, everyone, hurry down!"
"Thud..."
A female living corpse dressed in a black suit suddenly fell from the sky, crashing onto the ground covered in tempered glass and unable to get up for a long time. Its pale leg bone protruded directly from its knee, still hanging with some disgusting black muscle. It still wore a silver name tag on its chest, and the text on it turned out to be that of the hotel's head waitress.
"Yes, yes, yes… Wu Meimei!"
Rihanna, not far from the living corpse, exclaimed in shock. She immediately recognized her former colleague, now a living corpse, who was not only one of her best friends but also her only fellow townsman here.
After Wu Meimei fell, she groggily looked around. When she discovered the presence of many living people, she excitedly let out a roar. Her once cherry-like mouth split wide open to the sides of her ears, dragging a broken left leg as she desperately crawled towards Rihanna.
"Nana, run!"
Jiang Jie, who was pulling Jack and the others up, turned around just in time to see the scene from earlier. Ruienna was clearly stunned and had forgotten to escape, her eyes even shimmering with sympathy. Meanwhile, from the shattered floor-to-ceiling window on the fourth floor, the living corpses were falling down like rain, "thud thud," landing all over the ground like frogs after the rain. Jiang Jie let out a furious roar and rushed over.
"Oh no!"
Jack, who had just landed, looked at the large hole in the glass shot by Boss Hu, and his expression immediately changed. He handed the pale Ding Jie, who was in his arms, to Gao Chujing, drew his handgun, and began to fire selectively. Boss Hu's figure had already disappeared, and no one knew how he had slipped away; it seemed he had an innate talent for escaping. Yue Yunfei was still shooting at the entrance's big door, but the firepower was mainly focused on that fierce hunter.
"Don't save bullets, aim for its eyes!"
Jack jumped out from the crowd and quickly shouted to Yue Yunfei. After a moment of complex expression, Yue Yunfei nodded. He had definitely handled a gun before; although his shooting skills were not as good as Jack's and Thomas Xu's, he was much better than Boss Hu and Gao Chujing. The hunter at the edge of the terrace had been knocked over several times by him, struggling on the ground like a mad bull.
"Let's go, hurry up!" Jack's handgun was continuously spitting fire, almost achieving a lethal effect. The living corpses surrounding Jiang Jie and Ruienna immediately fell in a circle. Despite his young age, Jiang Jie was a loyal and righteous young man. He rushed to Ruienna's side, threw her over his shoulder, and used his body to crash through the encircling living corpses, desperately making his way to Yue Yunfei's side. Yue Yunfei gave him an encouraging look, urging them to leave this dangerous place quickly.
"Thomas Xu, Yue Yunfei, you cover everyone; that hunter is mine!" Jack glanced up at the broken glass hole on the fourth floor, where the living corpses, sensing human presence, were continuously falling down, a dark mass crowding at the opening, too many to count, along with the menacing hunter on the side. Even a second of delay here would increase the danger!
"Old Gao, you go first!" Thomas Xu drew his handgun from his waist and opened fire into the crowd of corpses. Although his kill rate was not as high as Jack's, it wasn't too difficult to carve a bloody path through the disoriented corpses. However, more and more living corpses were jumping down, and Thomas Xu and Yue Yunfei found themselves in a tight spot with their guns. Fortunately, although Ruienna and her group were terrified, they had some experience fighting the living corpses, raising tables and chairs like ancient infantry, shouting "Kill!" as they charged at the living corpses.
Jack had stopped shooting and was now staring eye to eye with the hunter lying on the ground, a standoff like a cockfight. The hunter, a living corpse that had evolved in an extreme direction, was very difficult to deal with. Although it did not spread corpse poison, its rough muscles were no less formidable than an armored vehicle. It was nearly impossible to eliminate it without hitting its small, beady eyes.
The hunter seemed to have sensed Jack's difference. Unlike the ordinary humans who panicked at the sight of it, Jack's sharp eyes scraped against the hunter like a knife. Even though the hunter's brain was not very responsive, a sense of crisis made it deeply aware of Jack's presence. This discomfort immediately prompted it to roar loudly and charge fiercely.
A flash of brilliance quickly crossed Jack's eyes as the hunter's flesh-red figure rapidly enlarged in his view. Thomas's frantic movements resembled a skinned bulldog, but the hunter was far more ferocious. When it was still four or five meters away from Jack, it leaped forward, saliva dripping from its mouth, and lunged at Jack like a red lightning bolt.
As he watched the hunter pounce towards him, a piece of advice from long ago suddenly flashed in Jack's mind. It was something a seasoned veteran, who had taught him combat, had told him more than once: even if you are confident of victory, never take to the air in front of your enemy, for once you leave the ground, only the gods know your fate!
The hunter, of course, had no way of knowing the words that flashed through Jack's mind. Its battle was purely instinctual, driven by its durable body as it viciously fought. Its pair of claws were nearly as long as its legs, and the steel claws were sharp enough to split stone. When it stretched forward with all its might, the hunter was confident it could tear apart any creature blocking its path, even if that creature was a car.
What the hunter didn't know was that Jack had no intention of killing it. Engaging with a hunter at such a life-threatening moment was the most foolish way to seek death. The hunter, leaping through the air, was almost upon Jack, but at that moment, Jack shrank back, vanishing right before the hunter's eyes!
Of course, Jack did not possess the unbelievable ability to teleport. At the instant the hunter was about to reach him, he suddenly fell backward, his back nearly flat against the ground. With his big feet clad in hiking shoes, he mercilessly kicked the hunter in the abdomen. The airborne hunter's entire body arched suddenly, flying out of the building in a high parabolic arc, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Yue Yunfei, cover me! Brother Lin, I'll take them down first!" Thomas Xu was not worried about the outcome of Jack's battle with the hunter. If Jack couldn't handle that beast, it would be pointless for him to go. He rushed to the entrance with a group of people, glancing at Yue Yunfei, who was shooting at the living dead with a rifle. Without hesitation, Yue Yunfei nodded and said seriously, "You all go quickly; I'll handle things here!"
"I leave it to you!" Thomas Xu patted Yue Yunfei's shoulder heavily, feeling that this person was quite reliable. In such a critical moment, he not only chose not to flee but actively stayed behind to cover them. One should make friends with such brave men. After saying this, Thomas Xu waved his hand and hurriedly led the group downstairs.
The moment Thomas Xu left the third floor was also the moment Jack kicked the hunter away. Seeing this, Yue Yunfei's eyebrows involuntarily twitched, and a thick cloud of gloom settled on his face. He shot and shattered a living dead that had just lunged at him, and just as he was about to raise his gun to shoot the dozen or so living dead surrounding Jack, for some unknown reason, he hesitated. A series of conflicting emotions flashed across his face, and then, his finger slowly relaxed on the trigger, and he lowered the rifle. Finally, he stepped forward and with a loud clang, closed the heavy iron door at the entrance, locking it tightly with three turns of the lock, completely sealing it off...
