Undead

Chapter 21

In the communication room that covers an area of several hundred square meters, gunshots filled the air. Shattered light tubes and broken bricks were everywhere, and the display screens were riddled with bullet holes. Within the laser night vision goggles, the surroundings appeared as a foggy shade of green, making it almost impossible to see anything clearly.

Chun Cao desperately climbed on top of the mainframe, firing her weapon while leaping, attempting to jump onto the back of the zombie gorilla to strike its vulnerable point. However, before she could reach her target, the gorilla swung its arm forcefully, sending her flying like a cannonball!

"Roar!"

Zhou Rong's face was covered in blood. The intense Alpha pheromones greatly agitated the fierce nature of the zombie beast. Ignoring the intense firefight in the distance, it stomped on equipment and iron frames, smashing them into pieces, and then reached out to strike at Zhou Rong.

Zhou Rong scrambled backward, catching a glimpse of an M8-9 heavy machine gun half-buried in the rubble. He reached out to grab it but couldn't budge it.

Just as he was about to be crushed into a pulp by the gorilla's attack, a sudden rush of strength came from his side. Someone was tackling him, and they rolled several times. The gorilla's massive paw struck the ground next to Zhou Rong, shattering it.

"Ying Jie?!"

Zhang Yingjie, gasping heavily and looking extremely uncomfortable, said, "Hurry... hurry, run..."

Zhou Rong helped him up, but they were barely able to stand when the gorilla's forearm, like a heavy truck, smashed into the ground, launching them both into the air!

Si Nan felt an intense surge of anger that he had never experienced before. "Zhou Rong!"

The corridor was filled with gun smoke, visibility was extremely poor, and beyond a few steps, everything was indistinguishable. Si Nan couldn't tell if Zhou Rong had been torn to pieces by the gorilla or not. In a desperate situation, he was about to move forward when he realized something was wrong.

No more bullets!

The gun, with a firing rate of 1250 RPM, was burning visibly. He had spare magazines, but he couldn't afford the time to reload now.

In that one second of being disarmed, the gorilla turned and rushed toward Zhou Rong and Zhang Yingjie.

Si Nan was breathing heavily. It was the first time in his life he had felt such intense anger. He was almost completely thoughtless at the moment.

He reached into his tactical bag and pulled out the explosive that had failed to work earlier, then threw it hard at the gorilla. At the same time, he drew his knife and made a quick slash in his palm.

The explosive hit the gorilla's back, and a series of explosions immediately dismembered it, drawing its attention back to Si Nan.

Si Nan's chest heaved, his open palm bleeding profusely, and he stared into the zombie's cloudy eyes, stepping back cautiously.

Although there was no scientific proof, it was widely accepted that zombies had an instinctive attraction to A/O pheromones, with a stronger sensitivity to Omega pheromones. Pheromone strength was directly proportional to the amount of sex hormones, but the ability to capture the other's pheromones varied from person to person. For example, Zhou Rong had a very dominant Alpha pheromone, but his ability to capture Omega pheromones was rather ordinary, whereas Si Nan was the opposite.

Si Nan was highly sensitive to Alpha pheromones and had a strong adverse reaction, but his own pheromones were very weak—this was due to years of taking suppressants.
