The crawlers reacted quickly.
As they turned to look at Old Wang, they had already discovered Dong Tiejun's presence.
But Dong Tiejun couldn't stop his momentum. He raised the axe in his hand and leaped high into the air.
The crawler in front of him let out a strange cry and suddenly jumped up to meet Dong Tiejun.
At this critical moment.
Suddenly, a huge dark shadow flashed past Dong Tiejun's front at an even faster speed, like lightning.
The powerful airflow directly blew Dong Tiejun over and sent him rolling several times on the ground before he stopped.
Old Wang and the others rushed forward to protect Dong Tiejun, asking nervously:
"Old Dong, are you alright!"
Dong Tiejun shook his head and patted the [tough hide armor] on his body, saying:
"With this on, it's nothing!"
He sat up and looked intently in the direction they had just come from.
He saw a giant wolf, larger than a brown bear, its massive paws pinning the crawler firmly beneath it.
Saliva flowed down from its mouth like a waterfall.
It exuded a terrifying and murderous aura.
"Roar~"
The giant wolf turned its fierce profile towards Dong Tiejun and let out a low growl.
As if to say, "This is my prey, no one can snatch it away!"
Although Dong Tiejun was a soldier, humans' fear of giant beasts was ingrained in their genes.
Seeing such a massive wolf, his heart couldn't help but race, and his hair stood on end!
The others were even more so.
They all huddled together, holding their bows and axes, staring nervously at the giant wolf, looking as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Giggle gigglegiggle~"
"Giggle gigglegigglegiggle..."
The other two crawlers let out strange cries and lunged forward from both sides.
"Be careful!"
Dong Tiejun couldn't help but shout.
The giant wolf turned its head and bit down, directly seizing the body of one crawler, crunching it.
It crunched the seemingly impenetrable bones like potato chips, shattering them into pieces.
But it did not injure the spine.
The crawler was still alive, but its bones were broken, rendering it unable to move.
Its hands weakly clutched the giant wolf's thick fur.
It couldn't cause any damage at all.
Instead, it looked like it was grooming the giant wolf.
Another crawler took the opportunity to leap onto the giant wolf's back.
Only then did everyone notice...
On the giant wolf's back, there was a little girl with silver hair.
Her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll, with fair, tender skin.
She would grow up to be a peerless beauty!
However, at this moment, the crawler was not far behind her.
It could launch a surprise attack at any moment!
"Roar!"
The giant wolf let out another fierce roar and shook its body rapidly.
The fur on its back immediately became as sharp and pointed as steel needles.
The crawler, unable to grip the wolf's fur, fell off its back.
The giant wolf took one in its mouth after another.
It swallowed all three crawlers.
Er Pang actually wanted to leave a skeleton for Zhang Chen to collect.
But he suddenly remembered that Zhang Chen was in a coma.
To prevent others present from taking advantage, he swallowed all three crawlers.
His stomach instantly felt much fuller!
"Hehe, Er Pang brother must have been hungry!"
"Xiao Bai is also hungry!"
The little girl said, sliding gently off the giant wolf's back.
Then she slowly walked to the vending machine by the roadside.
Is this little girl the owner of the giant wolf?
How did she subdue such a colossal creature!?
This is simply unbelievable!
Dong Tiejun was full of shock.
This giant wolf could easily tear apart three crawlers.
Its strength was far superior to his own.
It was estimated that all twenty-odd people in the entire camp, working together, could barely kill the giant wolf!
Of course, at best!
"Hey, hey, no, I have money here!"
Old Wang suddenly shouted nervously.
Dong Tiejun followed Old Wang's gaze.
He saw Xiao Bai standing in front of the vending machine, reaching for the food inside.
But she was blocked by the tempered glass.
She tried several times but failed.
So, she slowly raised her fist...
"Holy crap!"
Dong Tiejun's face turned pale with fright.
The vending machines in this world were ridiculously durable.
Their built-in batteries could last a long time.
It still had power.
And as long as it was pushed, shaken, or attacked in any way, it would make a deafening noise!
"Everyone, prepare for battle, the horde is coming!"
Dong Tiejun also shouted.
In this situation, he couldn't afford to maintain silence.
To avoid attracting zombies.
Soon, the zombies from the nearby three streets would be attracted.
It wouldn't make much difference if he shouted too.
The group immediately formed groups of three, taking their positions.
The archers jumped onto the roof of the bus, ready to provide support fire!
"Thump!"
Xiao Bai didn't use too much force with her punch, as she was afraid of damaging the food.
Even so, the tempered glass cracked open with a large gap.
Countless white cracks spread outwards from the point of impact!
In an instant, the vending machine's alarm blared loudly.
"Woo~ woo~~ woo~~"
The sound was like an air raid siren.
"Gurgle..."
"Ugh..."
"Roar..."
The groans of zombies echoed from all directions.
"Crack!"
"Crash!"
The sound of breaking glass.
Some zombies jumped directly from the upper floors.
Upon landing, they dragged their crippled legs and rushed desperately towards the source of the sound.
Dong Tiejun, with his [tough hide armor], was not afraid of ordinary zombies.
But the other team members were not.
No matter how strong they were, when facing a certain number of zombies.
No one could guarantee that they wouldn't be scratched or bitten.
Once infected, it was a sure death!
So, everyone was exceptionally cautious!
Encountering zombies in such an open area was definitely not a good place to fight.
But due to time constraints, it was impossible for so many people to retreat.
They could only brace themselves and fight!
As the zombies drew closer.
Zombies were visible in every direction.
They shrieked and wailed, surging forward like a tide.
Including Dong Tiejun, everyone's palms began to sweat, and their hearts pounded.
Their hands, gripping their weapons, turned pale from excessive tension...
Five hundred meters!
Four hundred meters!
Three hundred meters!
Closer! Even closer!
"Archers, get ready!"
"Melee, prepare for impact!"
Dong Tiejun commanded, forcing himself to remain calm.
Two hundred meters!
One hundred meters!
In an instant!
It was as if an invisible force field shielded all the zombies outside.
The zombies at the forefront immediately braked sharply, stopping steadily at a distance of about 100 meters.
Some of the zombies behind couldn't stop and rushed past the boundary.
But as soon as they got up, they immediately turned back.
Not a single zombie dared to cross the line!
Dong Tiejun and the others looked at each other, their faces filled with shock!
"This... is this a ghost?!"
