Chapter 36 - Chapter 36

After Gu Ning saw the thing that was lunging towards her, her heart thumped and her sweat hairs all over her body instantly exploded!

It was a black zombie dog, unlike the last one that was huge, this one was only as big as an ordinary dog, with a big hole cut into its stomach, its intestines hanging out of that big hole, half of it was dragged on the ground in a huge grey knot of dust and mud. It was as if it was oblivious, and the moment it swooped out of the darkness it was like a black bolt of lightning. If it wasn't for Gu Ning's keen senses and quick reactions, it would have let it take a bite at this point!

Gu Ning had no time to think about what had happened at the entrance of the school, and focused on the zombie dog, which didn't give her the chance to remove the gun from her back, but fortunately, Gu Ning still had the knife in her hand.

Before Gu Ning could raise the knife, the zombie dog lunged at her again! The dog was extremely fast, and its size in this narrow space gave it an advantage, plus the fact that unless the dog's head was cut off or chopped up, attacks on other parts of the dog were basically ineffective.

Fortunately, there were still some tables, chairs and benches in the room, and the dog had no intelligence at all, and only pounced on its prey by instinct.

If the dog had any intelligence, it would have been annoyed by Gu Ning's slippery dodging skills.

However, Gu Ning didn't have much patience, she was still worried about the increasingly intense gunfire and screaming at the school gate.

Her parents were still inside the school, and if the gate was broken, Gu Ning dared not think further.

As she gathered her thoughts, she watched the zombie dog leap over the table towards her, Gu Ning did not dodge it, but at the moment it leapt up! Gu Ning kicked the table so hard that it crashed into the belly of the dog, which had risen into the air! Gu Ning's face did not show any joy when he saw that he had scored a hit, he just lifted his foot again, the zombie dog hissed and was knocked away by a strong force coming along the table!

Gu Ning used her full strength in this kick, the edge of the table caught the dog's abdomen and crashed into the drab wall, but the dog was still struggling to escape. Gu Ning did not dare to take it lightly and chopped the dog's head off directly, separating its head from its body.

The cut off half of the body fell along the gap of the table and did not move.

The dog's head, however, rolled onto the tabletop.

Gu Ning's heart was moved and he slashed the dog's head in two, then used the tip of the knife to stir up the broken dog's head, half of it was gone, then he searched for the other half. Gu Ning didn't have time to admire it, he just put it in his pocket and ran out with his gun in his hand.

As soon as she appeared, a female zombie lunged at her. With limited bullets in her magazine, Gu Ning didn't bother to use them, so she stabbed it directly with the tip of her gun! After stabbing it backwards, she quickly pulled out the knife at her waist and thrust it towards the female's face! If she were a normal girl, she would have had to hold the knife with both hands and sprint a distance to gain speed before she could drive it into the zombie's head.

Gu Ning only needed to make three moves, pulling the knife, raising her hand and stabbing down, and the zombie fell backwards, unable to move again, all thanks to Gu Ning's exceptional strength and the precision she had honed through countless times between life and death.

Only then did Gu Ning have the time to observe the situation, and when she saw the situation outside, her first reaction was to dodge into the house and close the door behind her. Then she opened the door a little to peer out.

The front row of zombies were sticking their hands into the cracks of the iron door and clawing their way in, hissing with excitement and hunger from their throats as they desperately tried to squeeze inside, at least two to three hundred of them!

This was just the gate, there was a horizontal road coming out of the school entrance, and there were still zombies coming this way, probably because the smell of the dead zombie dog inside the house overpowered Gu Ning's scent, Gu Ning only opened the door a tiny gap, and there were zombies lumbering past three or four metres in front of Gu Ning, not even noticing that there was a living person hiding here.

The gunfire continued to ring out as rows and rows of zombies fell to the ground with their heads blown off, yet more zombies poured in stepping over their corpses.

If it wasn't enough to instil too much fear, there were dozens of them in the crowd that were trying to climb up the gate.

The door creaked as more and more walkers crowded through it.

The large lock hanging on the door rattled and banged against it, threatening to break through at any moment.

Most of the guns were aimed at the walkers trying to climb over the gate.

However, most of the people with guns hadn't had many opportunities to shoot before the end of the world, and their marksmanship was not that superb, and often several shots would either miss or hit other parts of the zombie. Basically, those who were able to hit those agile zombies within three shots were the soldiers left behind by the Third Company to keep watch.

Gu Ning naturally saw the zombies that were trying to climb the iron gate, those zombies with nimble bodies that were so different from the ones she knew before that one could feel a chill of despair just by looking at them.

All Gu Ning could hear was the sound of gunfire, but it took several shots to bring down one of the zombies climbing the iron gate, and one even reached the top before it was shot down! Gu Ning was terrified, if a zombie broke through the gate, then the defenceless people inside, including her parents, would be in danger.

The only good thing was that the school wall was built high enough, and although some zombies tried to cross it, it was in vain.

This small restaurant had three floors in total, the ground floor was the small restaurant and upwards was the residential building. Without further hesitation, Gu Ning carried his gun around to the back door and found the stairs to run upstairs.

There were constantly agile walkers climbing upwards, almost filling the entire iron door, the feeling of being densely packed was creepy, and some of them even climbed higher before being knocked down.

There were also some walkers that were banging against the small side door next to the gate. That side door was not strong enough to withstand several rams. White Wolf called for a dozen men to block the door with their bodies, and then looked at the culprits who had brought these zombies here with a very ugly look on his face.

Those ten or so people who had traded a large batch of supplies for the dormitory dwelling last night.

Half an hour ago, they had hurriedly run into the gathering place from outside, and not even ten minutes later, those zombies had blocked the entrance to the school.

By this time they were already surrounded by White Wolf's men.

Yin Sang stood with the man in the white shirt wearing glasses, countless eye slashes emanating from his beautiful eyes, if those eye slashes could turn into substance, I'm afraid those people would have been shredded into pieces already.

"If only Gu Ning and Third Brother and the others were here." Cheng Ming said as he frowned at the zombies that could not be killed by any means at the gate.

Cheng Ming and Daoist Jia came out to see what was going on, while Xie Yuhong and Huang Mengyao stayed in the dorm to take care of Gu Ning's parents.

At this point most people stayed in the building, listening to the gunfire outside and waiting nervously. Waiting for victory, or waiting for the walkers to break in.

While a small number of people came out of the building and came out to check the situation.

Gu Ning quickly ran to the top floor, the straight line distance from the gate side was about three hundred meters, she found a good angle, then aimed her gun at the zombies who were climbing the iron gate, after aiming, she pulled the trigger -

Bang!

The bullet went through the back of the zombie's head with unerring accuracy.

Gu Ning's gunshot was loud enough, but the sound of the gunshots over there was even more intense, and no one paid attention to this side. Even the zombies with a keen sense of hearing were not attracted to this side, and continued to surge towards the iron gate.

Gu Ning continued to aim at the next one.

On average, he fired one shot every five seconds.

Ten shots, at least eight of them hit.

The gunmen shooting inside the iron gate were still a bit puzzled, wondering how their hit rate had increased so much all of a sudden. A steady stream of walkers fell from the gate, landing into the mass of walkers and knocking down another pile. Yet the zombies seemed to be endless, killing one group and coming up with another.

But the fact that the gate was full of zombies just a moment ago and now it was empty all of a sudden caught the attention of some people.

The man in the white shirt noticed that one zombie had fallen backwards, but there were no bullet holes in its entire face, so it had come from behind.

The eyes behind his glasses quickly locked on the roof of the third floor diagonally across the street and said in a deep voice, "There's someone on the roof across the street."

Yin Sang, who was standing beside him, instantly raised his head to follow his gaze and indeed saw a person with a gun raised right up there, raising his eyebrows in surprise, "It's her?!"

It was really because Gu Ning's blonde hair was so conspicuous that it was hard not to recognise her.

Gu Ning was unaware that she had been spotted, and naturally she didn't care, she just focused on aiming and fired, the bullet casing popping out and the bullet shooting out, passing through the head of a zombie.

More and more people found her.

"Daoist Jia! Look! There's Gu Ning!" Cheng Ming pointed excitedly at the roof of the third floor diagonally opposite.

Daoist Master Jia squinted his eyes and saw a handful of golden hair there, and instantly confirmed that it was Gu Ning.

In this gathering place, the name Gu Ning was not well known, but her iconic blonde hair was of no small popularity.

It caused an immediate gasp of surprise.

White Wolf glanced at the roof of the opposite building, then shot down a zombie that was already there, then said to Pei Jing, who was leading the group of a dozen people, "I'll send you to the West a second before this door is slammed open."

Yan Yu, who had been standing next to Pei Jing, could not suppress the anger she had been holding back and roared, "Then it would be better for you to die first!" As she roared out this sentence, she opened her palm and pushed it forward in the direction of the white wolf!

Pei Jing, who was next to her, was unable to stop her, and her face suddenly changed! "Yan Yu!"

Just as she pushed out her palm! A football-sized ball of fire appeared out of thin air from in front of her palm! The moment this ball of fire appeared, even the air around it was a few degrees warmer! Yan Yu's sharp roar had already attracted a lot of attention, but seeing a ball of fire appear out of thin air was even more shocking! As Yan Yu pushed her hands forward, the fireball flew out with a whirring sound and flew straight towards the white wolf's face!

All the onlookers were attracted to the fireball and saw it flying rapidly towards the White Wolf under Yan Yu's control! They were even more shocked, and a shout of surprise rang out!

Gu Ning was standing on the roof of the third floor opposite, what was happening inside the gate was right under her nose, she saw the fireball appear out of nowhere and then fly out under the girl's control, in shock, she even forgot to shoot!

The fireball was so fast that it came close in the blink of an eye!

"White Wolf! Watch out!" Yin Sang and the white-shirted man shouted at the same time.

Even Gu Ning couldn't help but tense up.

White Wolf stared at the fireball that was heading straight for him, his face was cold and stern, his gaze was cold, but there was no hint of panic on his face, he didn't even dodge, he raised his gun and aimed at the fireball, bang bang bang! Several shots rang out. The fireball looked horrible, but under the continuous impact of the bullets, it also broke apart and fell down from mid-air at once.

White Wolf stepped on top of the shattered fireball, his gun aimed at Yan Yu, he even brought a little smile, only this smile was eerily cold: "Sorry, it's you who will die first."

Countless guns were turned towards Yan Yu and the ten or so men, and the line of people who had just been wearing the expression of watching a show were all tense at this moment. Only the few soldiers left behind by the Third Company were still shooting at the zombies outside the door.

The situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse!

Yan Yu shuddered uncontrollably as so many black muzzles of guns were pointed at her, she hadn't expected at all that the fireball she had sent out would actually be shattered by someone with a gun! And with so many gun muzzles, she simply didn't have the courage to send out a second fireball.

"Wait! Don't shoot yet!" At this moment Pei Jing suddenly spoke, while raising his hands in a gesture of surrender to avoid being shot down outright.

He stared at White Wolf and then said, "As long as you don't kill her, I can tell you the secret about the fireball!"

"Hmm. Good offer." White Wolf nodded, but the hand holding the gun up did not lower it, "But let's wait until the person in the way is dead." He said about to pull the trigger.

"White Wolf." The white-shirted man pressed White Wolf's hand that raised the gun, pushed his glasses to look at Yan Yu and said, "Keep her to deal with those zombies outside."

White Wolf gave a glance at the densely packed zombies outside the iron gate, and his long slanted eyes narrowed slightly.

Pei Jing immediately said, "We can help you get rid of all the zombies outside."

White Wolf's long slanted eyes rose slightly upwards, and a sneer stared out of his eyes, "Help me?"

When Pei Jing thought of the fact that they had indeed lured all these zombies here, he had to change his tone and said, "Anyway, we will take care of these zombies, and besides, I will tell you what you want to know."

White Wolf finally showed a satisfied smile, then said to the soldiers who were still pouring out bullets, "Do you hear me. Leave the zombies to them and save the bullets for your Third Brother."

Those few soldiers really hesitated not to shoot again.

Although Gu Ning's ears were keen, she was not so far away that she could still hear their conversation, only to see the gunfire stop. The next moment, two fireballs appeared in her palms, hovering and flaming upwards.

As she raised her hands, the two fireballs traced a parabolic line through the air and slammed down through the iron door!

They hit the zombies with a loud bang, instantly setting fire to their clothes!

Yan Yu threw about twenty fireballs one after another, hitting the zombies in different directions, her face was pale, as if she had lost her strength and could not send out any more fireballs.

But these twenty fireballs were enough.

In just under three minutes, the fire spread, accompanied by the burning smell of the zombies' flesh that was beginning to decay, and the flames shot up into the sky, and beyond the iron gate, the flames and the hissing of the zombies were in unison.

Gu Ning put down the rifle he had been holding in his hand and looked at the zombies screaming and hissing in the fire and the thick smoke rising from the sky, and for a moment he didn't know what to feel.
