Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 171: The Terrifying Beast


Almost at the same instant Tang Xiaoquan's words fell, the black shadow at the bottom of the building darted out like lightning.

Its claws scraped against the ground, even sparking a few flames; too fast, the speed of the zombie dog was simply too fast.

In a panic, the survivors could only find the nearest room to hide in, and the moment the door closed...

"Bang!" The violent tremor nearly cracked the door panel!

Is this still a dog? This is practically a battering ram! Wang Qiang turned his body and leaned against the door at the first moment.

Beside him, Wang Dali and Tang Xiaoquan together carried a large bed and put it up vertically.

Once the bed was firmly propped, Tang Xiaoquan quickly instructed everyone to find an exit because if the zombie dog broke in successfully, the three of them couldn't possibly handle it.

"Bang! Bang!" Two more collisions followed, and just hearing it made Tang Xiaoquan's scalp tingle.

Perhaps the zombie dog also realized that this kind of brute force was futile, so before long the fierce attacks ceased, and the door returned to calm.

"What happened?" Wang Qiang frowned slightly and asked subconsciously.

Tang Xiaoquan raised his hand to make a silence gesture, then slowly moved forward and pressed his ear to the door, trying to listen and figure out the situation outside. But...

"Shhh~" Like a demolition device, the door suddenly began to shake uncontrollably, and the tearing sound made Tang Xiaoquan stagger back onto his knees.

No need to ask; the zombie dog changed its attack strategy, now excavating and dismantling the door panel like digging a pit.

It seems this beast retains its characteristics from before death, and for this, Tang Xiaoquan didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

"Guys, we better think about what to do next! I've looked around, and there's no other exit in this room!"

Anxious and helpless voice, Wang Dali's words instantly sentenced the third team to death!

Yes! No exit... and the idea of the survivors fighting the zombie dog in such a spacious room is like a fight between eggs and stones.

Not to mention its extremely fierce bite force, its swift movement alone is enough to give the survivors a hard time.

Moreover, when fighting such a beast, cutting it 10 times might not kill it, but if it bites you once, the consequence would be...

Such unequal battle form is bluntly predetermined for defeat before it even starts.

"Damn it, if it doesn't work out, we'll just jump out the window!" Unwillingly, Wang Qiang spat out, ready to hold the Snake Spear poised to thrust!

Perhaps there really was only this one way forward, struggling up from the ground, Tang Xiaoquan made his way to the window and gazed outside.

6 meters, or higher, but whatever the final number is, the danger of jumping from here is imaginable!

Sweat uncontrollably slid down his cheeks, a tough decision indeed.

Jumping could mean an ankle injury;

Not jumping means facing the attack of the zombie dog;

What to do? Tang Xiaoquan was caught in a dilemma! But the harder thing was that the zombie dog didn't give him a chance to think.

"Crack" Accompanied by sharp breaking sounds, small cracks appeared on the thick door panel, quickly expanding into a hole.

Relentless efforts finally achieved results, the zombie dog's sharp claws broke through the door, with its strong and powerful little leg filled with explosive energy.

Luckily, the hole was only big enough for the zombie dog's leg to push in; otherwise...

"Aw~ Woof! Aw~" Roars mixed with howling, the zombie dog was enraged, the repeated obstruction of the door completely unleashed its wild nature.

"This is bad!" Tang Xiaoquan anxiously glanced out the window, if he had any slim hope about escaping through the window moments ago, now...

In his eyes, the black shadow paused due to the zombie dog's howl, the zombies turned their stiffened heads, after identifying the sound's source, began unanimously closing in on the small building!

This really was the disaster piling on!

Having no time to lament his bad luck, Tang Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows and scanned the surroundings, soon spotting a massive outdoor air-conditioning unit within his sight.

Perhaps it's usable...

With an idea barely forming in his mind, Tang Xiaoquan cautiously stepped half of his body outside, looking up, and this seemingly simple yet ordinary move incited the zombies below the building to shriek in surprise.

Food! Food! What else could make the beasts more excited than this!

They instantly dragged their sluggish steps, collectively moving towards Tang Xiaoquan's position, akin to embracing the sun.

"Shit!" Noticing his brother's action, Wang Qiang couldn't help but curse, immediately flashing to the window, and with a vigorous pull, he yanked the half-exposed Tang Xiaoquan back inside.

"What the hell are you doing! Suicidal, huh?"

Indeed, Tang Xiaoquan's maneuver was indistinguishable from "seeking death"!

Exposing his body outside was akin to ringing the "dinner bell" for the zombies.

No wonder Wang Qiang showed such anger since dealing with the zombie dog outside was already a headache, now attracting more zombies would...

But saying anything now was too late as zombies had already started encasing the perimeter fence around the small building.

It's over! Wang Qiang slumped against the wall dejectedly, his Long Spear hanging weakly.

As the zombies surrounded them, their last escape route was thus obliterated!

"Why, why did you do that!" Incomprehension led Wang Qiang to grab Tang Xiaoquan's collar uncontrollably and roar!

"Calm down!" Equally loud, Tang Xiaoquan fearlessly met Wang Qiang's rage-filled eyes: "I went out to confirm the height of the rooftop!"

"What are you kidding me! Why confirm the height at a time like this! Don't you know that could attract the zombies!" Wrist tightened, Tang Xiaoquan's collar had twisted into a knot!

Given the urgency, Tang Xiaoquan could not afford distractions; he immediately countered by grabbing Wang Qiang's wrist, twisting it forcefully and spoke deeply: "There's an outdoor air-conditioning unit outside. I just confirmed; if we climb along it, we can safely reach the rooftop! So stop messing around with me, or soon we'll really be done for!!"

Sound dropped! Wrist flipped!

Whether it was Tang Xiaoquan's sudden strength or Wang Qiang deliberately let go, in any case, Tang Xiaoquan successfully freed himself from Wang Qiang's grip.

And now...

The climb was about to begin!
