The World Turned into Zombies, So I Went Back to the Countryside to Farm 39p2

Chapter 39 p2: Annihilation

The most fatal thing was that the zombies that had been gathered around the flagpole, after hearing that shriek, seemed to have received a collective summons, and more and more zombies walked towards the window.

Wen Zhao leaped up from the ridge. “Kele! Get the Molotov cocktails!”

A black shadow rushed out of her arms and into the wheat field. Kele was panting, running at high speed, its four paws stepping on the unmelted snow, leaving a row of footprints.

It picked up the reins of the cart from the wheat field, put them around its neck, and panted heavily, then ran back towards its master.

A cold light flashed, and the Tang-style horizontal knife was already out of its scabbard. The few zombies that were running slowly and were at the back were dealt with by Wen Zhao one by one.

Before the zombies in the school could turn their heads, she rushed to the side of the main gate and pulled the iron gates closed from the left and right.

A zombie that had heard the noise pounced over.

Wen Zhao quickly wrapped the iron chain on the gate.

“Little Mi! Molotov cocktails, get ready!”

Jiang Wuni and Li Mi both lit their lighters.

Wen Zhao glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that the zombies had surrounded the teachers’ office. She couldn’t help but say anxiously.

“Throw them towards the classroom first. Be careful not to break the windows!”

Jiang Wuni, who had the worst results in training, perhaps because she was worried about Jiang Zao, or perhaps because she had really brought out her previous skills in skipping stones, was the first to throw the Molotov cocktail.

The Molotov cocktail drew a parabola in the air and landed right in the pile of zombies under the window. With a bang, fire and sparks flew, and the gasoline and alcohol that had been splashed out quickly evaporated, and the flames roared.

The zombies let out a mournful cry.

Li Mi also lit the Molotov cocktail in her hand.

“Let you taste my power!”

Kele barked loudly and dragged the cart to Wen Zhao’s side.

Wen Zhao pulled the tip of her knife from the neck of the zombie that had pounced on the door and deftly locked the main gate.

She took a step back, and at the same time, took out a lighter from her pocket. She grabbed a Molotov cocktail from the cart with one hand, lit it, and threw it under the flagpole. The tongue of fire that erupted instantly spread along the ground, and the zombies were engulfed in a sea of fire.

“Jiang Zao, are you okay?! Now, while the fire is not too big and the zombies are preoccupied, get out quickly!”

“Cough, cough… I’m fine…”

The thick smoke from outside drifted in through the crack in the door.

Jiang Zao coughed a couple of times and, as she spoke, took out a mineral water bottle from her backpack, unscrewed it, poured water on her magic face towel, and then tied it over her mouth and nose. She picked up her ice axe and prepared to get up.

As soon as she finished speaking, the window, which had already had a crack, finally gave way under the continuous high temperature.

With a crash, it shattered all over the floor.

The zombies that were crowded by the window rolled in. The raging flames on their bodies quickly ignited the paper on the desk next to the window, and the plastic file cases dripped with black smoke.

The fire began to spread this way.

The most fatal thing was that the fierce fire would not immediately make the zombies lose their ability to move. After seeing their prey, even with raging flames on their bodies, they still instinctively walked towards her.

Jiang Zao brandished the ice axe in her hand.

“Zao’er! What’s the situation there?!”

Jiang Wuni’s anxious voice came from the walkie-talkie. After a long time with no response, she gritted her teeth and stomped her foot.

“I’ll go down and help you!”

“Jiang Wuni!”

Jiang Zao was panting. After dealing with a few zombies, she finally had a free hand to press the walkie-talkie.

“I’m fine. Don’t stop the Molotov cocktails. Keep throwing!”

After that little incident just now, the Molotov cocktails had all stopped for a while. The temperature was low in the winter, and without continuous fuel, the fire in the courtyard outside gradually weakened.

More zombies got up from the ground.

Li Mi gritted her teeth and lit another Molotov cocktail.

Wen Zhao took a few steps back and half-squatted by the surrounding wall. “Kele!”

She bent her index finger and whistled. Kele also took a few steps back, then accelerated and ran, stepping on her back and leaping up, jumping over the surrounding wall.

Wen Zhao also used the same trick and flipped over.

She landed steadily and picked up the walkie-talkie.

“You guys keep throwing. I’ll go find Jiang Zao.”

If there was one thing that humans and zombies had in common, it was that they were both carbon-based life forms and were afraid of fire.

More and more zombies were climbing in through the gap in the window.

The zombies in the sea of fire were crashing around. Jiang Zao had to dodge frequently to avoid the tongues of fire on their bodies.

Not to mention having to fight them under these circumstances.

A zombie fell at her feet, its hand still holding onto her pants. Jiang Zao kicked it away, and the tongue of fire that erupted instantly shot up her pant leg. A wave of heat rushed towards her.

She fumbled to pick up the remaining half a bottle of water and threw it on it, then patted it a few more times before she could put out the flames.

The thick smoke had already filled the entire room.

Jiang Zao knew she couldn’t delay any longer. She felt her way along the hot iron cabinet to the door, pulled the doorknob hard, but found that the ceiling was also on fire. The deformed door frame was difficult to open from the inside for a while.

“Cough, cough, cough…” The thick smoke was mixed with the smell of burning flesh. The magic headscarf, which had been soaked in water, was gradually becoming ineffective.

A burning sensation came from her throat.

Jiang Zao couldn’t help but bend over and cough violently. Her eyes were also burning from the smoke, and she couldn’t open them at all.

“Jiang Zao! Stay in there and don’t move! I’m coming to find you!” A familiar shout came from the walkie-talkie.

Wen Zhao’s voice was filled with a hint of urgency and an unwavering determination. Although it was an instinct for carbon-based life forms to be afraid of fire, at this moment, the desire to get to her side had surpassed instinct.

She just walked through the sea of fire, brandishing her Tang-style horizontal knife. Any zombie that stood in her way had a line of blood appear, and she ran towards Jiang Zao step by step. The strands of hair that were flying in the wind were curled up by the heat wave, and the soles of her shoes made a sizzling sound as they stepped on the hot cement floor.

Jiang Wuni and Li Mi exchanged a look.

Li Mi picked up her bow and arrow, while Jiang Wuni picked up the thing she was best at—a frying pan.

“You bastard monsters, taste your grandma’s power!!!”

Jiang Wuni screamed and rushed down from the second floor, swinging the frying pan and smashing it on the zombies’ heads.

Li Mi was dumbfounded as she watched the zombies being sent flying. In her daze, a zombie staggered towards her. Kele rushed out and knocked it away with its head.

Li Mi turned her head and shot an arrow, pinning the zombie to the ground.

I don’t know if it was because she had inhaled too much smoke, but Jiang Zao was gradually feeling out of breath, her breathing as heavy as a bellows.

The heat waves came in waves, and her eyes were also burning. Her vision began to blur.

She tried to shake this feeling out of her mind, but the world seemed to have a double image in front of her.

In a daze, she saw something pouncing on her again. Jiang Zao stumbled to her feet, picked up her ice axe, and smashed it on the zombie’s head, then kicked it out.

The ceiling also made a “crackling” sound at this moment. Jiang Zao rolled on the ground and dodged the falling fan, but her head was hit hard by the desk because she couldn’t dodge in time.

The camera fell to the ground.

Jiang Zao’s vision went black.

The world instantly lost its color.

The surroundings were filled with raging flames. She could feel the temperature getting higher and higher. She tried to stand up, but she couldn’t see anything, as if she had fallen into an endless darkness.

The night was so thick.

Like ink that could not be diluted.

Could it be… that it’s already dark?!

She rubbed her eyes hard, trying to see the world clearly, but besides bringing a stinging pain to her eyeballs, it was still of no use.

“What’s going on… my eyes…”

Only then did Jiang Zao truly panic. She knelt on the ground and fumbled around, finding the ice axe that had fallen on the ground. She grabbed it like a life-saving straw, then felt the hard corner of the desk, trying to use it to stand up, but her fingers were burned by the flames. She quickly withdrew them and fell to the ground.

The darkness deepened her fear. Jiang Zao panted heavily, squeezing the little air left in her lungs.

Her whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

She tried to get up, but fell again because she couldn’t see. She could faintly hear the “he he” sound of the zombies again. Jiang Zao shrank back and waved her ice axe wildly.

“Don’t come over! Don’t come over! I told you not to come over…”

The next second.

A loud noise of a door breaking came from her ear.

Wood chips flew, and sparks flew.

The Tang-style horizontal knife was sharp, like a dragon coming out of the sea.

The zombies that were surrounding her all fell to the ground.

Then, Jiang Zao fell into a warm embrace.

“It’s me, Jiang Zao, it’s me… I’m late.”

Wen Zhao rested her chin on the top of her head and held her tightly in her arms. Her blood-stained hand gently caressed her cheek.

How did she become like this in just a moment? Her clothes were full of holes burned by the fire, her face was dirty from the smoke, and there were even bloodstains from being scratched by broken glass. Most importantly—

She had never seen Jiang Zao like this before. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her expression was so panicked and helpless, even like a lake full of water, ready to overflow at any moment.

Hearing the familiar voice, a large stone seemed to have suddenly fallen in Jiang Zao’s heart. She finally couldn’t help but start to sob.

“Wen Zhao… Wen Zhao… my eyes… my eyes… suddenly… I… I can’t see…” Jiang Zao’s hand tightly gripped the clothes on her chest, her words a little incoherent.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Let me see.”

Wen Zhao comforted her softly. After the person in her arms gradually calmed down, she gently opened her eyelids with her hand. The eyes that had always been clear and moving like a cold ancient well were filled with bloodshot veins, and tears were constantly flowing down the corners of her eyes, drop by drop, burning her fingers, and also making Wen Zhao feel for the first time what it was like to have her heart torn apart.

She also couldn’t help but have red eyes, but she didn’t want Jiang Zao to hear it and tried her best to endure it.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s just temporary blindness caused by the smoke and dust. The cornea is just a little red, swollen, and congested.”

She reached out and closed her eyes, then tore a clean, soft strip of cloth from her clothes, covered her eyes, and tied it behind her head.

“Don’t open your eyes. Come, I’ll take you out.”

She picked her up from the fire and stood up. She glanced at the burning desk beside her, then picked up the sports camera from the ground.

The battle outside was also coming to an end. The zombies were falling into the sea of fire one after another, and the rest were all dealt with by Jiang Wuni and Li Mi. Jiang Wuni pulled open the chain on the iron gate.

The group rushed out of the school.

Dusk was approaching.

The faces of everyone were gilded with a layer of gold by the raging fire. The flying ash mixed with snowflakes and fell.

Wen Zhao gently put her down.

“Jiang Zao, we won.”
