CHAPTER 1005: CHAPTER 235: EVEN IF THERE’S ONLY A ONE PERCENT CHANCE, I HAVE TO TRY

"Growl, growl."

"Growl, growl."

A deep roar emanated.

Everyone exchanged glances and shook their heads. It seemed that, just as they thought, this small village shelter might have already been overrun by zombies.

A resistance fighter clung tight to the wall using the suction power of the second-generation war armor, peeking inside.

Ferocious and terrifying zombies were shambling around inside.

"It’s over. Inside is full of zombies. This small shelter has already been overrun," the resistance fighter reported the situation.

Liu Tao sighed, "Ah, damn zombies. How can ordinary people possibly defend against them? It’s like they don’t give any chance of survival."

Huo Fen said, "Brother Tao, let’s move on. I believe if we keep going, we’ll meet people who are still alive."

Liu Tao nodded. That was all they could do. With the help of the war armor, they had been unstoppable on their journey. As long as they didn’t go into the cities, they wouldn’t encounter the terrifying evolutionary zombies.

Just as Liu Tao was about to signal the main force to leave,

Fang Zhan spoke, "Brother Tao, this is the countryside. Have you thought about it? There’s a possibility that people might be hiding in cellars, waiting for rescue. Just like in my town, there are cellars prepared in case the zombies attack and the town falls, where we could hide."

Huo Fen said, "Isn’t this a bit of a gamble?"

Liu Tao frowned, pondering, "What do you all think? Perhaps Xiao Zhan is right, and there really are survivors hiding in cellars. But maybe there aren’t any too."

The resistance fighters on the scene looked at each other.

Then someone stepped forward and said,

"Before we met Lin Fan from the Sunshine Shelter, our goal was to eliminate zombies and save survivors. Later, with Lin Fan’s war armor, we gained the ability to protect ourselves. I think even if there’s only a one percent chance, I’m willing to give it a try."

As he said these words,

everyone around nodded in agreement.

"Brother Tao, let’s try it. What if there really are survivors hiding in the cellar, waiting for us to rescue them?"

"Yeah."

Even though there might be quite a few zombies inside,

wearing the war armor, they weren’t afraid of ordinary zombies.

"Alright, since everyone wants to give it a try, let’s give it a try. Tank team, be ready to start blasting at any time and charge straight in." Liu Tao waved his hand.

The tank team drove in parallel, and with a rumble, the brick wall came crashing down. The roar attracted the shambling zombies, and even though they saw the tanks advancing, the zombies fearlessly charged at the steel onslaught.

The zombie’s charging spirit was truly domineering.

With a reckless valor that put anything else to shame.

Pfft!

Pfft!

The tanks, reinforced with crystals, were like harvesters, continuously mowing down zombies. The blood and flesh burst open, splattering thick blood all over the ground.

Entering the village.

Liu Tao said, "Everyone, check the village cellars. Be careful, don’t be careless."

"Yes."

"Received."

As they operated in the apocalypse, they were aware that danger lurked at every moment, and even wearing war armor, they wouldn’t be careless.

Ahead appeared a powerful zombie. Seeing the tank approaching, it roared and ferociously charged, ready to crush the tank with its fists.

If it had been earlier, the sight would indeed be terrifying.

But now, the resistance fighters in the tanks weren’t panicking in the slightest, and even cheered.

Come, let me crush you!

Bang!

The powerful zombie’s fists struck the tank hard, but unfortunately, only a sound echoed as the tank remained unscathed. With a splatter, the tank dragged the powerful zombie under its treads, large amounts of blood spurting out.

The following resistance fighters swung their elbow blades, splitting open heads to find a crystal.

At this moment.

Huo Fen spotted something resembling a cellar, waved, and with two companions, walked over. The entrance had two iron plates, which were locked from the inside.

Seeing this, Huo Fen’s expression lit up. Locked from the inside meant someone might be in there; otherwise, how could it be locked?

"There might be someone alive."

Without a second thought, Huo Fen punched, shattering the iron plate.

This was the power of the war armor.

As he opened the cellar, Huo Fen couldn’t wait to get inside. He wanted to be the first to see living survivors, wishing deeply to exist as a savior in others’ eyes.

The scent in the air reached Huo Fen; in the dark environment, the air was filled with a stench of decay.

This smell gave him a foreboding feeling.

He turned on the war armor’s built-in light, illuminating the passage as he walked toward the end.

Huo Fen stopped in his tracks, dumbfounded by the scene before him.

In the not-so-large cellar, dried excrement was everywhere, and a highly decayed corpse lay quietly there, countless maggots crawling through its flesh.

There were also many corns around.

But despite the food, there wasn’t enough water. Those empty plastic bottles seemed to speak to the despair and helplessness of the person alive when the water ran out, making it vividly clear.

Ultimately, they died of thirst.

"We still came too late."

Huo Fen hung his head, deeply disappointed, a type of indescribable helplessness overcame him.
