CHAPTER 1171: CHAPTER 278: THIS MIGHT BE ME... (PART 2)

Just as they were thinking.

Bang!

The car roof suddenly jolted, directly caving in.

In an instant, their faces turned deathly pale, realizing where the Hunter had gone—it was right above them.

"Oh no, we’re doomed."

This thought surfaced in their minds.

They felt they were truly doomed.

The vehicle swayed side to side, the driver struggling to keep the steering wheel steady, yet under such force, it felt almost uncontrollable.

Splatter!

Splatter!

The Hunter gripped the car roof, unwilling to easily let this group of prey go, and directly tore open the metal to create a hole.

Sun Jun and the others inside jabbed their weapons up towards the car roof.

"Damn..."

Sun Jun cursed angrily, the weapon he thrust out was grabbed by the Hunter, a massive force came through, and the weapon slipped from his hand, seized by the Hunter.

Going against the Hunter with the strength of ordinary humans was sheer folly.

Suddenly.

The car swung left and right, making it hard for them to steady themselves, swaying with the vehicle’s motion.

Bang!

Bang!

The car flipped over, sliding across the ground.

Sun Jun kicked the window open, climbed out with difficulty, and looked back into the car, everyone was injured. He grabbed Zhou Hongcheng’s arm and pulled him out with great effort.

"Hurry out, run..."

He saw the Hunter lurking behind, not rushing at them immediately, but letting out a low growl, as though saying... Prey, you can’t escape, surrender and let me devour you.

Zhou Hongcheng staggered out, his forehead cut open, blood streaming down.

He and Sun Jun together pulled the other two out.

They leaned against the overturned car in despair, knowing running was no longer an option.

But at the most dangerous times, humans often unleash their strongest survival instincts, a power that cannot be underestimated, coupled with a spirit of sacrifice.

"You run, I’ll hold them off. It was my naive idea that there were no zombies in the city, I brought you out here, I’m partly to blame for what happened."

Sun Jun picked up a metal rod from the ground, speaking resolutely.

"Let’s run together."

Zhou Hongcheng shouted, the pressure from the nearby Hunter was overwhelming, even without confrontation, a constant voice echoed in their minds.

This is a terrifying zombie, invincible, give up resisting, we are all going to die by its hand.

Sun Jun smiled bitterly, "We can’t outrun it, you all saw its speed. In its eyes, we’re no different from snails. I’ll hold it off, you might have a chance to survive."

This was the only chance.

Sun Jun never thought of himself as a hero, he just felt that the current situation was his doing. If he hadn’t been so idealistic, they wouldn’t be in such danger.

So he wanted to take responsibility, to atone for his mistake.

Thud!

Zhou Hongcheng’s hand landed on Sun Jun’s arm, "Stop it, we’ve been together all this way, never abandoning anyone. Do you want another King Kang incident? Even in death, we face it together."

Chen Yan and the driver beside them did the same.

Picking up metal rods from the ground as weapons, they mustered the courage to stare down the Hunter ahead.

Given the previous situation, they now understood the terror of Evolutionary Zombies, having never hunted one before, it was hard to imagine just how terrifying these zombies were.

Now they understood deeply.

This was an invincible existence.

Even if the four of them charged together, they’d likely be taken down in the blink of an eye, and even if they fled separately, the outcome would be no different.

It would only be a matter of surviving a little longer, then being picked off by the Hunter one by one.

"Alright."

Sun Jun nodded heavily.

He felt truly fortunate to have met these companions in the apocalypse, experiencing genuine friendship in adversity. Yet this time, the adversity demanded their lives.

"Roar"

The Hunter let out a low growl, locking its cold gaze on the four prey.

Then, it suddenly accelerated, charging at the prey with a terrifying speed, like a tank barreling forward, unstoppable for Sun Jun and the others.

"Ah... I’ll fight you."

Sun Jun yelled, raising a metal rod as he charged towards the Hunter with determination.

And just at that moment.

Whoosh!

A dark shadow swept past him, startling him into a stupor, unsure what it was until he looked forward.

He was dumbfounded.

What had flown past him was a gigantic axe.

The axe struck the Hunter, piercing its body and pinning it to the ground.

"This..."

The scene before him left him not only shocked but equally stunned the others like Zhou Hongcheng.

Footsteps sounded.

Turning to look back.

They saw four figures appearing.

Three among them were wearing War Armor, while one was not.

Upon seeing the War Armor, Zhou Hongcheng instantly recalled something.

"It’s the War Armor, developed by Sunshine Shelter, we have encountered people from the shelter."

He said with great excitement.
