Chapter 254 Fuck! We did it!

"W... Wh-what? Did he just jump?" Darren asked, shock written all over his face as he drove the armoured vehicle toward where Ivy was, killing several monsters with the truck. Just as he got to where she was, he opened the upper part of the truck, giving Ivy access to jump in. Afterward, the roof closed again, but the monsters who had been jammed beneath the truck and against its sides, though not dead, came surrounding the vehicle again, banging violently against it.

"You’re going to be driving. I’ll continue taking care of these monsters, okay?" Ivy said, raising an eyebrow as she calmly arranged several magazines of bullets beside her AK-47. Her composure made Darren swallow hard. She looked completely unfazed despite the countless monsters surrounding them.

"You want to go out there alone?" Darren asked, his expression filled with worry. "We can easily kill them through the truck windows. Those monsters are everywhere, and they could easily drag you down with them if you’re not careful. There are far too many of them out there."

"Just drive, Darren. I know what I’m doing," Ivy replied firmly, her tone leaving no room for an argument.

Afterward, she pressed the button that caused the vehicle’s roof to open. Just before she brought her head out, however, her gun appeared first, immediately spitting bullets at the monsters surrounding the truck. The loud gunshots echoed through the ruined street as several monsters dropped one after another, their rotten blood splattering across the ground and their horrible scent becoming even thicker in the air. Only after clearing enough space around the vehicle did Ivy finally climb out of the truck completely, kneeling on its roof while continuing to fire at the monsters that kept pouring out from broken buildings, shattered windows, and abandoned streets.

"Keep moving!" Ivy shouted as she steadied herself on top of the armoured vehicle.

Darren immediately slammed his foot down on the accelerator.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Monsters kept dropping dead one after another, their rotten smell becoming so overwhelmingly thick that Ivy had started feeling a terrible ache in her stomach. Her nose felt as though it was about to give up completely from the unbearable stench, and her eyes watered slightly, but she refused to stop firing. She gritted her teeth, forcing herself to endure the horrible smell while continuously pulling the trigger.

Behind her, the rescued survivors who had been kept safely inside the compound of the other building couldn’t help but cover their noses because of the horrible smell. Some of them had already dropped to the ground, desperately trying to keep themselves from vomiting, but they didn’t dare make a sound. While some people had already died during the chaos, the remaining survivors couldn’t afford to be detected by the monsters again simply because they couldn’t handle the rotten smell. It was tough, yes, but they all wanted to live. They had already survived too much to throw their lives away now.

Seeing the endless number of monsters flooding into the street, Ivy realized that shooting them one by one would take too much time. She needed to clear the road immediately.

Without wasting another second, Ivy proceeded to activate the RPG.

BOOOOOOM!

The explosion tore through the street, blasting numerous monsters apart and sending their bodies flying in different directions. The powerful force of the explosion shook the surrounding buildings, while thick dust and debris immediately filled the air. Several monsters were caught directly in the blast, their heads and bodies blown apart as the explosion cleared a large path in front of the armoured vehicle. The already terrible smell of decay only became thicker as the bodies of the monsters were scattered all over the road.

The whole street became dusty because of the RPG explosion, making it almost impossible to see anything clearly for a few moments. Ivy lowered her weapon and waited patiently as the dust slowly settled around her. Soon, she blinked several times and opened her eyes properly.

The countless monsters that had been surrounding the street only moments ago were all dead.

The once-crowded road had been completely cleared, although it was now covered with countless monster corpses, broken pieces of rubble, and debris. The entire street looked like a massive graveyard, with dead monsters scattered almost everywhere Ivy looked.

"Fuck... We did it," Darren murmured under his breath.

He finally brought the armoured vehicle to a stop and climbed down from it. However, the moment his boot touched the ground, he accidentally stepped directly on the head of one of the dead monsters.

CRUNCH!

Darren froze.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at what he had stepped on.

The sight immediately made his stomach churn.

As if the already unbearable smell of decay wasn’t enough, looking down at the crushed monster beneath his boot pushed him over the edge. Darren immediately staggered away from it and began vomiting terribly.

"Ugh... Fuck!" he groaned, bending over as his stomach continued to empty itself.

He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, but another wave of nausea immediately hit him.

"I’m fucking going to die at this rate," Darren murmured under his breath as he continued vomiting, his face pale from both exhaustion and disgust.
