“Is that all the power you have? I thought you were much stronger!” Shen Feng laughed, surprised that the water attack wasn't more potent.
Hou Wenxi sneered, pulling out a medicine bottle from his person. He crushed the pills inside and mixed them with water, then declared, “Now you can taste my true power. I’d like to see if you can withstand this!”
With that, Hou Wenxi manipulated the water flow to attack Shen Feng’s head. If the water entered Shen Feng’s mouth, the medicine would gradually take effect. Shen Feng would surely become sluggish due to mental fatigue, paving the way for Hou Wenxi’s victory.
Shen Feng quickly retreated, calling out to Yang Chang, “Yang Chang, hurry up and take care of that old guy!”
Yang Chang also moved to attack the opposite side, but the opponents dared not show themselves. They could only hope for an effect from those on the flanks. Just then, Hou Liangguo raised his pistol and fired at the person on the side who was moving the sofa. *Bang*. The gunshot rang out, and a person behind the sofa was shot through the shoulder. It seemed the sofa couldn’t block bullets and was only useful for obscuring vision. The others immediately stopped, no longer daring to advance.
“Still trying to flank, huh? Try it again, and I’ll shoot you all!” Hou Liangguo said fiercely.
Of course, Hou Liangguo knew he only had two bullets left. If the other side charged forward, they wouldn’t be able to hold on. He could only hope his son would finish quickly, otherwise, they would be in grave danger.
The Self-Aid Association members were truly intimidated and no one dared to charge forward. Yang Chang’s group couldn’t use their crossbows effectively from behind cover, their impact greatly reduced. The situation at the front had reached a stalemate, with both sides occupying opposite sides of the club, neither daring to show themselves nor advance.
If it were a close-quarters combat, Yang Chang would have dared to charge forward alone, even against forty opponents. But facing a handgun, he obediently stayed put. After all, even as an evolved human, he couldn’t realistically withstand bullets!
Later, Yang Chang glanced towards the会长’s direction, hoping to offer assistance. However, he could only see the会长 being cornered by the water snakes controlled by the opponent, looking quite disheveled. It seemed he couldn’t help the会长 either.
“Are we going to lose?” Yang Chang thought to himself.
Just then, Shen Feng was forced into a corner by Hou Wenxi, unable to resist further. Hou Wenxi laughed, “Hahaha… keep being arrogant. Let’s see how much longer you can be arrogant. I’ll tell you, your wife is mine. After I kill you, I’m going to enjoy myself!”
Hou Wenxi’s arrogant words provoked Shen Feng, especially when he heard the mention of his senior classmate. His eyes turned bloodshot. Cornered, he had nowhere left to retreat!
“Oh? I think you’re the one who’s too arrogant,” a whirlwind suddenly erupted around Shen Feng, instantly scattering the water flow around Hou Wenxi. Within a five-meter radius centered on Shen Feng, everything was blown away, except for Hou Wenxi. He didn’t feel a strong wind, but the water around him had vanished.
“You’re an ability user too? When did you learn that?” Hou Wenxi shouted. No one had used abilities before, so why had the guy opposite suddenly learned one at this moment?
Shen Feng sneered and replied, “You don’t need to know!”
With that, Shen Feng rushed forward, thrusting his sword into Hou Wenxi’s chest and twisting it forcefully, shredding his heart.
A breath later, the gale subsided. The lobby was in disarray, with tables, chairs, and flowerpots scattered everywhere. Shen Feng, feeling somewhat weak, pulled out his long sword. He had won this battle against an ability user! First, he lured the enemy in, then dispersed the water flow, and finally killed the man with a single sword thrust.
*Bang*. A gunshot suddenly rang out. Shen Feng saw a bullet rapidly approaching, instantly piercing his abdomen. He couldn’t dodge it, even if he hadn’t been weakened. The bullet hitting him caused intense pain. The bullet penetrated his abdomen, and blood flowed down immediately. It was then that he realized he had become complacent. He should have used a corpse as cover earlier!
“Shen Feng!” Chang Jianyi, who had just emerged from the basement, witnessed this scene. She hadn’t expected to see Shen Feng shot the moment she came out. Why had this happened? She had thought her future awaited her, a beautiful life, but now it seemed her life was ruined!
Chang Jianyi rushed forward immediately. Hou Liangguo was facing away from her. He hadn’t expected someone to rush from behind. By the time he reacted, Chang Jianyi was already beside him.
Chang Jianyi swung her knife fiercely, and Hou Liangguo’s head fell. Afterward, Chang Jianyi snatched the gun and threw it to Yang Chang, saying, “Kill all these scum, don’t hold back. It would be too good for them to even feed the zombies!”
Then, Chang Jianyi rushed to Shen Feng’s side, pressing on his abdomen to stop the bleeding. Shen Feng’s lower body was already soaked in blood. He looked at his senior classmate’s worried face and said with difficulty, “Senior classmate, I’m glad you’re okay. I just don’t know if I can hold on!”
Chang Jianyi didn’t dare to delay. She scooped up Shen Feng in her arms and hurried towards the hotel, saying as she ran, “It’ll be okay, everything will be okay. We’re from the medical school, our classmates and teachers will surely save you!”
Yang Chang was responsible for cleaning up the scum here. He had been suppressed by the gun and couldn’t advance, feeling somewhat stifled. But now that he had the gun, it was time for him to show his true abilities!
Yang Chang was also worried about the会长’s safety, but he had to resolve the situation here. So, he took the gun and shouted, “Brothers, charge with me!”
With that, Yang Chang took the lead. Hou Liangguo’s subordinates, seeing their boss and young master dead, quickly fled. But Yang Chang aimed at one of them and fired, *bang*. The gunshot rang out, and one person falling behind was shot dead on the spot.
Then, Yang Chang continued to shoot, but he ran out of bullets. Yang Chang immediately cursed, “Damn it.”
Yang Chang was utterly speechless. If he had known the opponent only had this many bullets, he would have charged forward long ago. It was truly frustrating that everyone had been scared by such a small number of bullets. Yang Chang put the pistol in his pocket and then began to attack the fleeing individuals.
Those who couldn’t escape immediately knelt and begged for mercy, saying, “It’s not my fault, I was just following orders. Please spare me!”
Yang Chang walked over and slashed them with his knife. What a joke! Does following orders absolve you of doing evil? If you’ve done evil, then you deserve to die!
Under the围剿 of over a hundred people, more than forty lackeys were killed on the spot, while the survivors fled far away, never to return to this place again. However, towards the end, Yang Chang discovered an open wardrobe, and behind it, another door!
Yang Chang went into the basement and saw a sealed room, an open door, and a woman curled up inside. An unnamable rage surged in his chest. He hadn’t expected such deep wickedness to be hidden underground.
Yang Chang led his men out and said, “Go call the girls, bring some clean clothes. There are some victims down here!”
Yang Chang walked over to Hou Liangguo and couldn’t help but hack at him with his knife, saying, “What a scumbag!”
Meanwhile, Chang Jianyi had returned to the hotel carrying the blood-soaked Shen Feng. Shen Feng was completely weak and groaning in pain. He felt as if he had returned to the day the zombies broke out, experiencing similar intense pain and blurred consciousness, murmuring, “Senior classmate, save me!”
Tears began to stream from Chang Jianyi’s eyes. It seemed her junior classmate from back then had also cried out for help in a similar situation, on the brink of life and death. It had taken days to overcome the crisis back then, and now, the scene was so similar. Could her junior classmate survive this time?
Afterward, Chang Jianyi carried her profusely bleeding junior classmate to the teachers and pleaded for help. Everyone was startled. Shen Feng had been fine that morning, and now he was covered in blood, likely from a fierce battle.
Professor Hao looked at Professor Zhang and said, “Old Zhang, weren’t you a clinical doctor before?”
Chang Jianyi immediately knelt before Professor Zhang and said, “Professor Zhang, please save my husband. We may have been disrespectful to you before, but now my husband is in critical condition. Please overlook our past transgressions and save my husband.”
Professor Zhang walked over, looked at the now unconscious Shen Feng, and said with difficulty, “This is a penetrating wound. Internal organs might be damaged. I probably can’t save him.”
Chang Jianyi placed Shen Feng down and then began to kowtow, “Professor Zhang, please save him. If my husband miraculously survives, I will repay you in the future.”
At this moment, a group of girls also gathered. Seeing their blood-covered会长 and their vice-会长 kneeling on the ground, they also quickly knelt and began to plead with Professor Zhang to help.
Professor Zhang felt helpless in this situation. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, alright, I’ll help. But I can’t guarantee a successful rescue! For now, let’s stop the bleeding. Shen Feng has lost too much blood. I don’t know how you’ve been studying. In this situation, you should stop the bleeding first!”
Chang Jianyi quickly raised her head, and then everyone followed Professor Zhang’s instructions to stop the bleeding.
A girl suddenly said, “There seem to be a few clinics in the street over there. They should be cleaner and more hygienic!”
Professor Zhang quickly said, “Then let’s perform the surgery in a clinic. Hurry and find some clinical students to assist me. As for whether Shen Feng can survive in the end, that will depend on his fate. Who could have injured him this badly?”
“He was injured by an armed thug,” Chang Jianyi managed to explain, and then had someone dismantle a door panel to use as a stretcher for Shen Feng.
Professor Zhang continued, “A handgun is manageable. The wound shouldn’t be too large. As long as the internal organs aren’t severely damaged, he might pull through!”
Afterward, the group moved to the clinic, hoping they had surgical equipment. In addition, Shen Feng’s physical condition would be a factor.
Professor Hao whispered to Professor Zhang, “I thought you wouldn’t help him. Don’t you dislike Shen Feng?”
Professor Zhang replied, “Do you think I oppose him without reason? I dislike Shen Feng’s authoritarianism, you know? No one has their own choice; everyone has to act according to his ideas, and he doesn’t listen to anyone else’s words. Of course, I don’t like such a person. But he is helping us by leading people to kill zombies, so I can’t deny his contributions, can I?”
“Then you’ll have to work hard now. Don’t accidentally kill the hero!” Professor Hao said with a smile.
Professor Zhang shook his head helplessly. He didn’t have absolute confidence either, but he was the only surgeon available, so he had to do it. He wondered if he could still pick up a scalpel after so many years. Right now, he was the tallest among the dwarves, just trying his best.
Of course, he felt particularly good about so many people kneeling and begging him today. After all, these young people now recognized his skills. He had been temperamental before because he felt uncomfortable being ignored by his students. Now that he had regained their admiration, his resentment had disappeared.
