So many! So fast!
Dongyun was terrified when he saw several zombies chasing after him.
Damn, are those zombies from World War Z or Zombie Wars? They're running so fast!
"Watch out ahead!"
Suddenly, Shima Rin shouted.
Ahead of them, zombies smashed through the waiting room windows and fell down.
"There's something wrong with the air. I need to conserve my mana. I need to hide..."
"shot."
Dongyun made a quick decision, stopped in his tracks, and pulled out the pistol he had taken from his black friend.
Some people have already started eating, and many zombies in the train station have been lured there. Moreover, many gunshots have been heard in the waiting hall. Their shooting is just to attract more zombies.
They had all practiced shooting in Raspberry Town.
Whether they can hit the target accurately is another matter, but at least they know how to release the safety and chamber a round, as well as how to eject the magazine and load bullets.
"boom!"
The gun fired, and the shot hit.
However, the zombie that was shot by Dongyun was unaffected and continued to charge towards them, baring its teeth and claws.
It hit, but not completely.
Dongyun aimed for the zombie's head, but he only managed to hit its shoulder.
"boom!"
Another gunshot rang out, and the zombie running at the front fell to the ground.
"bingo!"
Shima Rin's surprised voice rang out; she clearly hadn't expected to be able to headshot a zombie with a single shot.
Immediately afterwards, Gabriel and Nadeshiko Kagamihara also fired their guns.
Two zombies fell to the ground, but one of them was not the charging zombie, but a walking zombie that was slowly walking behind.
Kagamihara Nadeshiko fired a few more shots, missing the zombies she intended to hit, but managing to hit several more, though unfortunately, none of them struck her head. However, as the third zombie in front closed in, Shinonome's second and third shots accurately headshot and killed it.
"They came from behind."
Looking back, Shima Rin saw the corpse less than ten meters away and fired again.
Hearing the roar behind him, Dongyun also turned around and glanced back.
More zombies poured out of the bus shelter from the escalators and behind the broken windows. One by one, the zombies fell from the upper floors and then quickly got up to join the chase.
There are more and more people; has the waiting hall been completely overrun?
Dongyun's face was grim, and she told herself that she had to stay calm.
The four men dodged the zombies blocking their path, occasionally stopping to fire at the approaching zombies behind them.
To hit a zombie while running and attacking, unless you're very close, it's purely a matter of faith and luck, even for characters like Dongyun with buffs. Therefore, it's difficult for them to run very fast.
Fortunately, they bypassed the zombies in front of them and ran out of the platform. There were no more zombies ahead of them, and most of the zombies behind them posed no threat. They could kill the few zombies that approached with their guns.
Even if their marksmanship is terrible, with the combined firepower of four people and close enough distance, they can still kill the chasing corpses with a hail of bullets.
The problem is that bullets are being used up quickly, and they don't have many magazines left.
Except for Dongyun's revolver, which he found on the cruise ship, all the other handguns were obtained through illegal means in Raspberry Town. On this trip, eight out of the nine handguns they brought were the same model, and all of them were fully loaded with bullets.
Furthermore, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Dongyun even removed the extra magazines from the same model of pistol, loaded them with ammunition, and brought them along. Little did he know, they would actually need to use those magazines.
I was imagining a gang shootout, not a zombie apocalypse.
Muttering to himself, Dongyun held the gun with both hands, aimed at the nearest corpse, and pulled the trigger.
The zombies were getting further and further away, but the running zombies couldn't shake them off and kept chasing them.
"Stop using guns, use axes instead."
Knowing this wasn't a solution, Dongyun wiped the sweat from his face, put down his backpack, opened it, and took out a one-handed axe.
Gunfire attracts zombies; they kill one group of zombies, and a new group comes running from the platform after hearing the gunfire. Although they know it's dangerous, they really can't use guns anymore.
However, only he and Nadeshiko had one-handed axes in their backpacks, so only the two of them could kill zombies without using guns.
Just then, the roar of a train came from a distant direction.
The four looked toward the direction from which the sound came. Although they could not see the train, the roar of the train was getting closer and closer.
"Use guns! Use guns!"
Upon hearing the sound of the train, Dongyun immediately changed his tune.
Instead of putting the axe back in his backpack, he held the axe and fired at the corpses running in the distance with both hands.
The others immediately understood what Dongyun meant.
The roar of the train can mask the gunshots, and since the train is heading straight for the station, most of the zombies in the station will definitely be attracted by the train. As long as they kill the zombies chasing after them, they will probably be safe for the time being.
"Xiao Jia, keep an eye on the situation inside the train. If no one inside is infected, we'll board."
As soon as Shinonome finished speaking, Gabriel said solemnly.
"I cannot use the Swiftness Technique."
"why?"
Kagamihara Nadeshiko asked in surprise and doubt.
“I used all my magic to purify the air around us. Didn’t you notice? There are other people on the platform, but only the four of us ran out of the station. They also have guns.”
Gabriel looked at the station in the distance.
Xiaoyun and the others probably didn't see it, but she did. The person who was running away suddenly collapsed after running a short distance, and when he stood up again a moment later, he had turned into a zombie.
The air quality is problematic, and it's not just a minor issue.
During the purification process, Gabriel discovered that there was a strange magic in the air that she could hardly detect, and that it was almost perfectly integrated into the air in a way that she could not understand.
"Boom—! Boom—! Boom—!"
The train passed by the four of them on the tracks not far away. Shinonome, Shima Rin, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko were incredulous after hearing Gabriel's discovery.
The audience went absolutely crazy.
Chapter 10 Heading West (Part 2)
"Boom—! Boom—! Boom—!"
The train sped toward the train station, separated from Shinonome, Gabriel, Shima Rin, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko by a single track.
Gunshots rang out incessantly on the railway tracks, and the corpses running towards the living fell one after another.
The train, which was about to enter the station, did not slow down at all, and no one had any hope of boarding.
Because they saw it.
As the train carriages passed by, they saw dark red bloodstains on the windows and grotesque zombies pressed against them.
The train has been submerged.
Although they didn't know if there were any survivors, they saw no need to go up.
In the cramped space of the carriage, teeming with zombies, even with enough handgun ammunition, it would be difficult for them to hold off the swarming zombies.
As for rescuing survivors?
Sorry, can't do it.
If they could have been saved, Xiao Jia would have intervened at the platform. The reason she didn't was simply because they were in dire straits themselves.
The train is arriving at the station.
Upon hearing the roar of the train, both the zombies on the platform and those on the tracks all moved towards the train.
Dongyun saw this scene from afar and guessed that the train would derail, creating a scene like in "Train to Busan." But to his disappointment, the train that was entering the station continued to smash through zombies and rush out of the station.
Without looking any longer, Dongyun withdrew her gaze and quickly followed the girls.
The zombies were temporarily distracted by the train, and now that no zombies were chasing them, if they ran a little further, they should be able to shake off the zombies and catch their breath.
Shinonome glanced at Gabriel.
Seeing the serious expression on Xiao Jia's face, and seeing the barrage of comments discussing the zombie virus, his already unpleasant mood worsened.
Was the earliest zombie movie set in a voodoo culture?
Looking at the zombies in the distant station, Dongyun frowned.
In current zombie-themed works, whether it's movies, games, novels, animations, or TV series, zombies are basically living people who have been infected with a zombie virus and turned into zombies.
However, according to the explanations in the comments, the earliest zombie movie concept was not actually a virus, but witchcraft, that is, the witch doctors of the Voodoo Cult used witchcraft to turn people into mindless walking corpses.
The difference is that the early zombies did not bite or infect people; they were simply mindless, controlled by wizards, and tirelessly enslaved.
