Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 52  Crushing Overwhelmingly!

"Damn it! He's coming towards us!!!"

"Turn around, quick!!"

"Run for it!!!"

"Shoot him!!"

"Shoot your what? It's an armored vehicle! Even a cannon wouldn't work, damn it!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After a barrage of gunfire, those standing on the dump trucks realized that their bullets were completely ineffective against the armored vehicle. Panicked, the drivers of the cement mixers at the front began to scream and turn their vehicles around. This panicked move caused the two cement mixers and the following dump trucks to collide into each other.

At this moment, Alex fiercely stepped on the gas, accelerating the Strangler Armored Vehicle towards the convoy of cement mixers and dump trucks at a speed of 100 mph. The Strangler's front-mounted crushing disc also began to spin wildly. Zombies that were in the way were instantly minced into a pile of mangled flesh. Blood and gore splattered everywhere as the Strangler Armored Vehicle turned into a moving meat grinder.

With a thunderous "Boom!", the Strangler Armored Vehicle violently collided with the jammed convoy of cement mixers and dump trucks. The colossal impact sound was accompanied by the screeching of tearing metal. The fronts of the two cement mixers blocking the way were instantly crushed. The drivers in the cabins were quickly shredded into pieces along with the glass and metal by the high-speed spinning disc.

Alex slammed on the accelerator again, and the Strangler Armored Vehicle, with tremendous force, pushed the two cement mixers aside and then slammed into the dump trucks! The driver of the dump truck had already died instantly in the first collision. The several fashionably dressed gangster youths standing in the back of the dump truck let out horrific screams, jumping out in a frenzy, attempting to escape for their lives.

But the noise of the battle was so immense that not only were the zombies inside the school attracted, but also a massive horde of zombies from outside the school converged towards the chaos. The few sunglass-wearing youths who jumped out of the truck first were instantly surrounded by zombies and torn to pieces.

Alex again stepped on the gas for a fierce charge, toppling the dump truck and its occupants onto the ground. The caterpillar-tracked tires climbed over the overturned dump truck, crushing everything in their path, including the few surviving sunglass-wearing youths and the swarming zombies. They were all ground into a pulp.

This was a true crushing and slaughter!

Following the system's absurd advice to just crash and roll randomly, Alex relied on the powerful armor and mobility of the Strangler Armored Vehicle, utilizing the destructive power of the front-mounted crushing disc for a frenzied rampage.

Hiding in the two modified off-road vehicles and the modified pickup truck, including Ma Chenbin, the once arrogant youths were petrified by the horrific scene unfolding before them, almost wetting their pants in fear.

"This is just too twisted, isn't it?!" Ma Chenbin swallowed hard, then shouted at the driver beside him, who was staring dumbfounded, "What the hell are you looking at? If you don't want to die, drive away now!"

The driver, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly released the brakes and slammed on the accelerator. Just as the vehicle started to turn around, the driver's eyes widened in terror. A huge swarm of zombies, attracted by the loud noise, was rushing towards them in a dense mass that made one's scalp tingle.

If the cement mixers and dump trucks had still been operational, the horde of ordinary zombies wouldn't have posed much of a threat. They could have simply waited for the zombie wave to pass. However, now their path-clearing modified mixers and dump trucks had been completely crushed into pieces. The monstrous armored vehicle that was crushing the dump truck wouldn't give them any time to wait. A moment's delay would mean they would end up minced like those before them.

"Damn it! What are you waiting for? Break through! I'd rather die at the hands of these zombies than fall into the hands of that lunatic!" Ma Chenbin furiously yelled at the driver.

The driver, with a tense expression, closed his eyes and slammed the accelerator. The off-road vehicle accelerated wildly, crashing straight into the zombie horde. If they could just break through and get back to their refuge, they would be safe!

The other two modified off-road vehicles also charged forward. The massive impact force sent the zombies in front flying. However, due to the obstruction of these zombies, the off-road vehicles were forced to slow down. One of them even got its wheels blocked by the bodies, coming to a complete stop.

Meanwhile, Alex's Strangler Armored Vehicle slowly turned its chassis, menacingly heading towards the three off-road vehicles. While the swarming zombies might be a big trouble for the off-road vehicles, for Alex's Strangler Armored Vehicle, it was nothing but a one-sided slaughter. The crushing disc continuously minced any zombies blocking the way. Soon, the off-road vehicle that had stalled was crushed by the Strangler's front disc. Screams of terror came from inside the vehicle before abruptly cutting off.

Ma Chenbin, sweating profusely, kept urging the driver to speed up as he watched the armored vehicle relentlessly closing in from behind.

The driver, drenched in sweat, was a professional bodyguard by training and had a strong mental fortitude. He glanced at Ma Chenbin, the usually fearless and influential young master of the Ma family and the leader of the Jiangcheng City's princelings. To his surprise, he saw that Ma Chenbin had wet his pants in fear.

The driver's eye twitched at the sight, feeling a mix of contempt and pity. If it weren't for Ma Chenbin's influential father, this foolish scion would have probably met his end long ago. It was this fool who had provoked a devil, leading them all to their doom. They could have survived well in this post-apocalyptic world!

Under Ma Chenbin's urging, the driver pressed the accelerator again, desperately trying to break through the surrounding zombie horde. But all efforts seemed futile. No matter how hard he pressed the gas, the vehicle struggled to move forward through the mass of zombies.

Zombies with fierce faces kept banging on the car windows, making the whole vehicle shake violently. Ma Chenbin, in the passenger seat, was screaming in terror and madness, filling the car with the stench of urine.

With a loud "Bang!" followed by the sound of metal being torn apart, the driver looked back in despair, seeing the monstrous armored vehicle had caught up. The modified pickup following them was already half crushed under the armored vehicle.

Ma Chenbin, too, looked back in terror, his whole body trembling violently. However, they saw the monstrous armored vehicle suddenly stop, and then a young man holding a long-handled knife with blue flames climbed out from the top of the vehicle.

The zombies surrounding the armored vehicle, upon seeing the young man, seemed to instinctively feel fear, voluntarily forming a five to six-meter radius of clear space around him.

"Holy shit! Who is this guy?! Even the zombies are afraid of him?!!" Ma Chenbin exclaimed in terror, realizing that this mysterious youth could instill innate fear in the zombies.

"What the hell did we provoke? Is this a human or a devil?" the driver muttered, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. They had lost all courage to resist.

Then, they watched as the devilish young man, feared even by zombies, leaped down from the armored vehicle. Through the windshield of the off-road vehicle, he stabbed the tattooed muscular man driving with a single thrust of his knife. He then effortlessly pried open the door with his blade and lifted the unconscious silver-haired girl out, tossing her into the back of the armored vehicle.

"He's taking a prisoner!" the driver said in shock. "What does this devil want with a prisoner?!"

"Who the hell cares what he wants to do! Being alive is better than being dead!" Ma Chenbin, seeing a glimmer of hope, wildly gestured towards Alex's direction, shouting, "I surrender! I am willing to surrender!"

Alex, holding the Sinful Blade with its undulating blue flames, slowly walked towards the off-road vehicle where Ma Chenbin was. The zombies surrounding the vehicle also began to retreat slowly as Alex approached.

Alex raised the Sinful Blade and heavily slashed down towards the front windshield of the off-road vehicle...

Blood splattered everywhere, and Ma Chenbin felt his head and face drenched in hot blood. Overwhelmed by fear, he lost consciousness completely.

When Ma Chenbin regained consciousness, he found himself in a dungeon, bound hand and foot to a cross-shaped wooden frame. The dungeon was narrow, dark, and damp. The air seemed to be filled with some malevolent presence, causing every breath Ma Chenbin took to be agonizing, as if countless ants were burrowing into his flesh, relentlessly biting and gnawing.

"Ugh... Ahh!!! What the hell is this place?!" Ma Chenbin cried out in pain.

"Brother! Save me!" A weak voice of a girl came from nearby. Ma Chenbin turned his head to see his sister also tied to a cross, her body involuntarily trembling as if she was undergoing immense pain.

"Finally awake?" A sinister figure with a whip slowly emerged from the darkness. It was Alex. And this dungeon was a slave cage he had just built.

[Slave's Dungeon: Occupies 50 square meters of underground space, does not conflict with other surface buildings, and can be used to imprison slaves who need to be punished. Once a slave enters the dungeon, they will continuously suffer. Price: 50 Apocalypse Coins.]

For just 50 Apocalypse Coins, Alex could build a dungeon without occupying space in the City of Darkness, and the slaves imprisoned within would constantly be in pain. This cost-effectiveness greatly satisfied Alex.

"Who are you? How many people are in your group? Where is your gathering place?" Alex's face flickered in and out of visibility in the candlelight, resembling a demon from purgatory.
