Chapter 344 - 193 Air Corridor
At 8 p.m., Peanut replaced Lin Wu on sentry duty, and Lin Wu teamed up with Maya to lead a spearhead force across the river to raid the power station. Horse Soul, Snow Egg, and Little Knife provided rear fire support with their crossbows, while Peanut and Emerald Feather stayed behind at the post to coordinate.
Lin Wu advanced alone, prying open the control room of the power station and gently pushing the door open. He didn’t look inside; instead, he lit a Molotov cocktail and threw it straight in, then quickly retreated. Seconds later, a large group of zombies burst out of the door, including two Titans and over a dozen Frenzies. At this moment, an Exploding Carnage ignited and exploded, shaking the ground nearby.
The zombies that rushed out couldn’t find a target and seemed bewildered. Crossbow Arrow and the sentries began thinning them out, but when Titans were hit, they would roar, attracting more zombies from around the area.
Lin Wu, the assassin, had no advantage in large-scale combat; obediently, he stayed with the others and picked off zombies with a Silencer. The main force now was the two sentries at the post, whose assault rifles were powerful killers. If only Emerald Feather hadn’t lost Forest Wolf, then they wouldn’t have considered even a few Titans a threat.
Ten minutes passed, and Lin Wu and Little Knife lay on the ground flicking stones, while Snow Egg watched with relish. At his adamant request, they joined in on the stone-flicking. Even Maya put down her repeating crossbow—crossbow bolts may be cheap, but they’re still made of materials. She realized that the two assault rifles were not enough to clear out the main zombie force in the power station.
The toughest were the Titans and the Frenzies: the former because they could take a hit and were hard to target from a distance, the latter because if you shot one and it couldn’t find the shooter, it would start to rapidly wander, making it difficult to follow up with more shots. Couldn’t they just keep targeting one Frenzy until it was dead? Of course, but in the meantime, more zombies would respawn, and the roars of the Titans would draw in new ones.
They could adopt the tactic of occupying the Sawmill, holding the respawn point with manpower. However, there were no Titans in the Sawmill at that time.
It seemed as though the sentries had lost motivation, and the gunfire became sparse. Soon, a car drove up near the power station and honked its horn, causing zombies to either head for the door or climb ’over’ the wall towards the car. It was Peanut, anger rising in his heart, taking courage from fear, driving straight toward them.
