Chapter 1136 - 1124: Rescuing Old Xu (22)

Chapter 1136: Chapter 1124: Rescuing Old Xu (22)

The "Jumper" that was hit flew skyward without suspense, and after a brief sway, Hu Xiaodong quickly steadied the steering wheel and continued to slam the accelerator forward.

Unfortunately, its movements were still a step too slow; the "Jumper" flashed from the side and immediately reversed its body, leaping onto the top of the van.

"Damn it!" Feeling like Mount Tai was pressing from above, the van’s fragile roof instantly collapsed under the weight of the beast.

Old Xu saw the beast’s movements at that moment, but the impact was too intense, making it impossible for him to control his form and take further defensive action.

However, Old Xu, being a seasoned soldier, immediately raised his gun after enduring the initial shock, and without a word, fired several shots at the roof.

The shots hit, and Hu Xiaodong felt something drip on his cheek, but before he could confirm, the beast started clawing at the roof.

"Damn it! This **** thing! Xiaohu, you’re stopping the car, I’m going out to chop it up alive!"

Wei Dazhuang, irritated by the noise from the roof, yelled without using the hand-held radio.

At this moment, the rear compartment of the van was piled high with supplies, completely dividing the front and rear.

Plus, with the roar of the vehicle, to be honest, just shouting doesn’t make it easy to hear clearly.

"Alright! Everyone calm down! Stopping now is asking for death!" Hu Xiaodong straightforwardly shouted back.

Wei Dazhuang angrily raised his fist and punched the roof.

Not punching would have been fine, but that punch further stimulated the beast’s nervous system.

For a moment, the already noisy scratching became even more piercing, and Hu Xiaodong felt his eardrums about to shatter.

Damn! It’s like a persistent spirit!

Following Wang Zhongyu’s example, Hu Xiaodong shook the steering wheel left and right.

Intending to use the vehicle’s swaying to shake off the beast, but the "Jumper" clung to the roof like a sticky dog, unmoved by any sway.

Seeing this situation, Old Xu immediately instructed, "This won’t work! Xiaohu, keep accelerating, run over that beast, then brake hard!"

There was no verbal response, but the gradually increasing speed gave a clear answer.

Hu Xiaodong’s right foot was already fully on the accelerator pedal.

Not far away, the "Jumper" that had just been knocked to the ground was struggling to get up, but ultimately failed to complete the move.

"Poof," like crushing a watermelon, the axle slightly trembled.

No one cared about the zombie’s tragic death; after Hu Xiaodong ran over the corpse for several meters, he heard Old Xu’s stern shout beside him!

"Now! Stop!"

Almost simultaneously with Old Xu’s shout, Hu Xiaodong immediately lifted his right foot and then stomped on the brake pedal.

"Screech... screech!" The conversion from full-speed impact to a sudden stop unleashed considerable kinetic energy.

Old Xu and Hu Xiaodong were both uncontrollably thrown forward and then slammed backward due to the inertia.

Back and forth, they almost vomited their dinner.

Despite the severe ordeal, the final outcome was remarkable.

No matter how powerful the "Jumper" was, it couldn’t withstand the forces of nature.

The unsupported "Jumper" was helplessly flung out.

After landing, it rolled continuously, leaving a long bloodstain from friction.

"Xiaohu! Start! Accelerate!"

Hu Xiaodong was still in a haze, but under the commander’s voice, his hands and feet subconsciously moved.

Clutch, gear shift, accelerator!

All movements came together in one fluid motion, and the van that had just stopped suddenly sped forward under Hu Xiaodong’s full throttle.

This time, there was no suspense; the "Jumper" could not even manage an attempt to rise.

It was crushed into pulp by the van speeding past.

"Emma!" Wei Dazhuang muttered again.

The stop-and-go drove him nuts, as the small space of the van already restricted his large frame, and the repeated rapid motion inflicted significant discomfort.

But these sufferings were worthwhile because after a brief dizziness, Old Xu’s voice came through the hand-held radio: "Alright! We’re safe! The beasts are dealt with! Over!"

"****! Finally got it done!"

Sitting upright, Wei Dazhuang casually peeled off the covering object, only to see it was a bag of peanuts.

Without hesitation, he tore it open with his hands and grabbed a handful: "Eat! Eat!"

He generously threw the remaining package to his brothers, and everyone took their share without hesitation.

Looking at the red spots in the rearview mirror, Hu Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead; knowing the temperature wasn’t high, sweating in this climate was a testament to the urgency of the recent situation.

But in any case, they had ultimately handled the two beasts.

While there were more zombies ahead, they were just staggered, uninspiring "Pacers" to be ignored.

Indeed, as Old Xu reported earlier via the radio: "The alarm is lifted!"

After about 5-6 minutes of running, Hu Xiaodong gradually slowed down the racing van.

Previously, he was driving at full speed to evade the zombies’ chase.

Now, having distanced themselves from the danger zone, slowing down is safer.

Taking a few breaths, a gradually stabilized Old Xu ejected the magazine from his Type 54.

After these days of fighting, only two rounds remained in the magazine.

Having confirmed the ammunition count, Old Xu picked up the hand-held radio again to contact the front vehicle: "Xiaotang, this is Old Xu, respond!"

Tang Xiaoquan, who had been worrying about the rear car, hurriedly responded when they heard the radio, "Old... Old Xu..."

The voice sounded hurried, as Tang Xiaoquan, breaking his usual calm, stutteringly asked, "How... how did it go? Old Xu, did you break out? Over!"

Hearing the young man’s halting speech, Xu Renjie knew the other was worried about their situation.

Feeling guilty, Xu Renjie quickly replied, "We’re safe; we’ve left the zombie encirclement. How are you doing?"

"We’re fine, heading to the designated location. Do you need us to wait for you?"

"No, stick to the original plan." Not knowing the details of the task force’s arrangements, Xu Renjie took a conservative approach.

"Alright, we’ll meet at the usual spot! Over!"

Tang Xiaoquan gave this response but, after ending the transmission, instructed Duan Chengwu at the driver’s seat, "Chengwu, slow down the car a bit. Old Xu and the crew have broken out; I estimate they won’t take long to meet up with us."

For Duan Chengwu, it did not matter, as traveling together was safer from any angle.
