Chapter 138 - Tunnel
Yunfeng’s lungs burned as he sprinted through the desolate streets, his legs threatening to give out beneath him.
Every fiber of his being screamed at him to run, to keep moving, to escape the nightmare closing in around him.
But in his blind panic, his foot caught on something—a jagged piece of debris or perhaps the outstretched arm of a corpse. He stumbled, his body pitching forward, and before he could react, he crashed onto something wet, sticky, and unnervingly warm.
He choked back a gasp, shoving himself up, and froze.
A soldier lay beneath him, his torso split open, ribcage shattered like a broken cage. The man’s insides were spilled across the pavement in a dark, glistening mess, organs half-eaten and swarming with flies.
The nauseating stench of decay curled up into Yunfeng’s nose, and his stomach heaved.
His hands trembled as they pressed into the cooling flesh of the corpse, and for a moment, his heart stopped.
But his brain kicked in.
He twisted back, his blood still roaring in his ears. The child zombie that had been chasing them had already moved on to another target. This was his chance.
His fingers latched onto the machine gun still strapped across the soldier’s body. He yanked, struggling against the weight of the corpse, then gritted his teeth and ripped it free. A belt of bullets was still slung across the dead man’s shoulders. Yunfeng didn’t hesitate. He took everything.
"Jai, quick! Take his guns!"
