Chapter 139: The Cruel Rotation Battle
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Even though the situation was critical, Tang Ling’s performance put everyone in the Fierce Dragon Squad in awe.
How should they compare the differences now? Through battle techniques? Speed? Or reflexes?
At least, Orston was unable to calculate all of those. The only comforting thought that he had after watching Tang Ling’s astonishing feat was that he might still be better than Tang Ling strength-wise.
All members of the Gordin family were very gifted in strength. After joining the training routine of the First Reserved Camp, the growth of Orston’s strength was amazing. He was reaching 1,000 kgs of punching force and could steadily deliver 950 kgs and above, shying from the cultivation standards by just a tad.
Orston was confident that he could reach all the cultivation standards in around a month and a half.
However, despite being the last in the group, Tang Ling was able to perform outstandingly.
‘I’ll just have to arm wrestle him in the future,’ Orston said to himself.
While Orston was having his thoughts, Tang Ling helped Andy and closed the sliding door.
Everything happened in less than five seconds, and they managed to temporarily overcome the danger, but the hundreds of zombies were still locked up with them. They threw themselves over to Tang Ling and the others.
This time around, Tang Ling led Andy and Yu to split up the hundreds of zombies using the advantage of the terrain.
Alas, reality slapped their faces hard. The Fierce Dragon Squad was forced to face another obstacle.
The north entrance that was shut only helped them overcome the most significant danger. No one would have expected that deeper in the north-east corner of the garage, there was another smaller door.
While everyone was busy fighting the zombies, that small door was rammed by hundreds of swarming zombies.
Again, Tang Ling had to take the risk and seal the little entrance alone, but it was already too late. With a few hundred more zombies in the garage, the situation was bleak.
Moreover, the little entrance would never last as long as the main north entrance. Never doubt the power of zombies. When the numbers increased to a certain limit, they could even push walls down.
On top of that, the garage had many broken windows which were rather spacious. If the sea of zombies were to rush in through the windows…
Indeed, the zombies had no intellect, but their instinctive persistence was something scary. No one could stop a starving zombie from anything.
If the hundreds of zombies had not barged in, the Fierce Dragon Squad might still have a chance to hold their ground in the garage and wait for reinforcements, but now? The hundreds of zombies inside the garage would eventually tear them to shreds as they were already exhausted.
Even if they were to persist fighting, how long would it take to clean up the zombies inside? Even if they could, the zombies outside would have barged through.
That was unless they could complete all this within three hours!
“If we are in our best forms, it might be possible, but now everyone is exhausted,” Yu expressed his thought.
“I ran out of ammo for the Desert Eagle during the bait-and-fight. Our grenades are running low too, but the number of zombies is more than ever.” Amir was able to provide a calm analysis, but the results were not looking favorable.
What else could go wrong in such a despairing situation?
Of course, something else could! A faint smile appeared on Tang Ling’s calm face. The sea of zombies from that horrifying night was scarier and a lot more despairing.
Back then, he was just a normal kid, and now, he was not just a few times stronger. He was a lot more powerful. Besides that, e still had his squadmates who could fight, so why would he fall into a despair so quickly? There should be a way out of this.
Tang Ling did not give up as he led everyone to retreat to the south side of the garage. During his early surveillance of the terrain, he noticed that there was a small office in the south corner. If they could utilize the terrain to their advantage, they could continue killing the zombies and take care of their exhaustion.
They would have to at least figure out a way to clean up the zombies inside the garage while waiting for reinforcements along the way. Tang Ling never held much hope in relying on others to save his skin.
Therefore, in the next hour, the harshest and cruelest battle started.
Tang Ling lured the zombies to the office while two other members stood guard in front of the entrance of the office, killing the zombies that he lured over.
There were seven of them, so they could make three rotations and use the advantage of the terrain to possibly clean up the zombies.
Tang Ling was undoubtedly the most exhausted among them all, and he was also the one bearing the most risk. At times, he even had to help the two on guard to quickly clear the zombies before he could lure more over.
The clamor from the fight would easily attract other zombies. If they went any slower than that, the zombies would converge on them.
Tang Ling played his part perfectly. From the moment he shut the sliding door of the north entrance, he decided not to hide his astonishing combat abilities anymore. As a matter of fact, it was not necessary for him to hide his strength in such a dangerous situation.
Vian stared at Tang Ling like she was looking at a stranger. She could not describe the feeling that she felt about him. He was like a perfect combat machine, displaying everything perfectly. He was the best example that the instructors provided during classes. There were no mistakes in his movements and actions, and on top of that, his performance was marvelous.
Was such an ability known as battle imagination? Their instructor once said that unless one was born to be a fighter, it was impossible for someone to possess such a gift.
Is that so? Is this the real Tang Ling?
Tang Ling wielded his Wolf Crunch and battled in the most stamina-efficient way by stabbing in between the zombie’s eyes with utmost precision. The slightest twist from his wrist could easily destroy the zombie’s brain.
At the same time, he even covered his friend, Orston’s back by delivering an elbow attack as he pushed himself away from a jumping zombie. Orston seized the small window of opportunity and sliced the zombie into half.
Watching him kill zombies was like watching the art of slaughter. He displayed the smoothest body movements, the most precise strike at the weak points, the most stamina-efficient blows, the most effective moves, and so on.
Vian believed that even Tang Ling had no Genetic Chain Talent, so he would grow into a warrior no weaker than a Purple Moon Warrior. He was like a teenaged God of War.
Looking at Tang Ling, her eyes gleamed in an unusual color. Even though Amir was just as astonishing and powerful, the way he charged into several zombies and slaughtered them all was wild and more elegant. Vian truly admired Tang Ling’s high precision way of battle.
The rotation in the battle that went on for more than an hour was harsh on the Fierce Dragon Squad. It was certainly a huge test on their stamina and willpower, but it was also a great chance for them to get stronger.
Until the zombies in the garage started to diminish, Tang Ling told Vian and Christina to collect the spoils and dig the crystals out. Only then did Vian realize that the battle might be coming to an end. They managed to survive it!
However, Tang Ling frowned firmly as he did not feel a hint of joy about the result.
According to his calculations, they had spent over an hour killing the zombies, so they would have at least another hour to rest and wait for reinforcements.
It had been a while now and the unusual situation must have caught some attention. Should reinforcements not be on their way already?
Other than Tang Ling, no one would even think about the possibility of reinforcements not coming to help them! At least, the Gordin and the Yufeng families would not simply abandon their genius members.
