Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 77: Zombies in a Frenzy



In the County thirty-plus kilometers away from the base, the number of zombies was even more terrifying; the entire County was densely packed with zombies.

During one Zombie Tide, a pattern emerged: the more living people there were, the larger the Zombie Tide that was drawn to them.

And in the city center 80 kilometers from the base, the Zombie Tide was even more appalling. From north to south, it swept along an ever-increasing number of zombies.

Even in the countryside, zombies were slowly congregating towards cities with more people—the larger the city, the more living humans, the more zombies there were.

In the County, due to the night and the rainstorm, the zombies' sense of smell and hearing were enhanced, making survival even more difficult for the people hidden away in every nook and cranny.

Some people, perhaps due to luck or because they lived on higher ground, were not discovered by zombies. But many more survivors were found by zombies and devoured!

Rainstorms! It was the rainstorms again!

According to Li Yu's experience from his rebirth, zombies' abilities would decline in strong sunlight and abundant light. Zombies detested sunlight, especially at noon at 12 p.m., when they rarely appeared. However, they loved the night and even more so, a rainy night.

Likewise, rainwater had a strong stimulating effect on zombies. Whenever there was a downpour, especially stormy weather with thunder, zombies' mobility and other abilities would be significantly enhanced.

So!

Whenever there was a prolonged rainstorm, a Zombie Tide was inevitable!

At the beginning of the apocalypse, the rain poured for ten days straight. Many people died in that deluge. Initially, when the zombie outbreak began, its spread wasn't so rapid and official organizations around the world could still control the situation.

But then, that sudden rainstorm triggered a sudden outbreak, and all the zombies, as if mad, fiercely tore into the human population.

And during that time, zombies spread uncontrollably, leading to human downfall.

At this moment, in the County, people like Song Min…

Faced with the densely packed Zombie Tide, despite having tightly closed the iron gate downstairs, they still couldn't stop the crazed zombies.

The zombies were violently crashing against the iron gate on the first floor; some zombies even started gnawing at the iron gate with their teeth, making a cringeworthy sound.

What's even more terrifying is that some zombies climbed up to the floors beside them and leaped down.

The building where Song Min and the others were located wasn't considered high in the neighborhood; it was only six stories tall. There were two other buildings nearby, one also six-stories and another one eight-stories tall.

But the main reason Song Min and the others chose this building was because of the seemingly extremely sturdy iron gate downstairs.

However, between Song Min's building and the two adjacent buildings, although there was a certain distance of about 5 meters between them, this distance was neither long nor short. This allowed many zombies to go to the adjacent eight-story rooftop, leap down, and fall to the ground.

A small number of zombies climbed too high and died from the fall, but many more zombies, whose heads weren't severely injured, continued to stagger, tirelessly climb up the building, leap down, and fall to the ground.

Within those, a few robust zombies jumped over directly, making their way onto the building where Song Min and the others were.

The building they were in was filled on the lower levels with relentless zombies that tirelessly slammed and gnawed at the metal door; above, many zombies, oblivious to their own death, kept jumping down.

Song Min and the others, although they were all women, had become much stronger after experiencing a number of terrifying events. However, this time, the Zombie Tide was too ferocious, leaving them exhausted in coping with it.

"Sister Song, another zombie from the building next door has jumped over. Shouldn't we close the door on the rooftop? It's not a solution for us to keep watch like this," said one slightly plump woman.

Song Min held a spear in her right hand and a flashlight in her left, with her body wrapped in protective tape. She looked at the tall building nearby and said, "No, the door to our rooftop is made of wood. It's not like the door downstairs; if we don't keep clearing these zombies and we close the door, what will we do if the zombies tear through the rooftop door?"

"But, but there are just so many zombies. Although only a few can jump from the building opposite to our roof, there's always like two of them every ten minutes. We, we really can't handle it anymore after these two days."

Though not numerous, the zombies seemed tireless, continually leaping over, wearing down Song Min and her group.

Song Min lifted her face, with dark circles under her eyes exceptionally noticeable, her gaze wavering slightly, yet quickly flashing with determination again. She said, "Xiaopang, go down and take a rest first. I'll hold on for a while longer here, then you come up and take over for me."

As if recalling something, her brow furrowed, and Song Min continued, "How much food do we have left? How long can it last us?"

Xiaopang said, "We can last about ten more days. Luckily, the last group of people gave us plenty of food, otherwise, we would have run out by now."

Song Min nodded upon hearing this. Suddenly, her eyes sharpened, and she pushed the Xiaopang beside her inward, then thrust her spear fiercely forward.

A zombie from the opposite building had jumped down and landed straight in the middle of their building!

All previous zombies that had jumped over had barely reached the edge of their building before slowly approaching where Song Min and the others were positioned.

Their spot was farthest from the location opposite that building. Yet the zombie that had just jumped managed to land in the central area of their rooftop.

The two women beside her also sweated coldly from the shock.

"Sister Song, how could that zombie jump so far!"

"Sister Song, you just scared me to death," said the youngest girl in the team while speaking and patting the surging waves in front of her.

Song Min focused her attention, then looked at the building in front where zombies continued leaping toward them heedlessly; downstairs, zombies were still roaring and pounding at the metal door.

Lately, everyone was extremely fatigued.

The endless hordes of zombies put a lot of pressure on them, especially in situations where the zombies from next door could directly jump onto their building, both above and below, adding to their stress.

Originally, they were only ten people, and now they were working two shifts, but still, their bodies were struggling.

Looking at Xiaopang who was frightened, Song Min said, "Hurry down to rest, and by the way, check the situation at the big metal door, inspect it."

Xiaopang, feeling relieved from a close escape, gratefully glanced at Song Min and said, "Alright, Sister Song, I'm going down now. You all, be careful!"

The night, still pitch black,

The downpour, continuing unabated.
