Chapter 58 - The Alienator

The survivors who acted as bait were separated, and it was only five or six minutes before they were slaughtered by this one licker that appeared.

   The licker gnawed on a corpse that was gushing with blood, and after being dyed with blood, its already crimson colour became even more hideous.

   The zombies surging through the streets, on the other hand, frantically pounced on the mutilated corpse.

   Circle after circle of zombies formed a scene of food grabbing.

   Craving for blood, this licker's abdomen became bulging after it had gnawed through this corpse.

   Only ......

   The licker's gaze, however, crossed the street and locked onto the direction of the caravan.

   Without hesitation, it lurched again, crawling over the buildings of the street, moving swiftly.

   Each time, it inserted its claws into the walls, and a claw hole appeared.

   ............

   "Licker."

   Yan Yongchun's eye holes contracted for a moment as he reported over the intercom.

   "Damn."

   Lin Sen cursed fiercely, his face twitching before he got off the cab. He climbed onto the bucket of the heavy truck and slipped the Type 03 automatic rifle he had been slinging into his hand.

   The speed of the lickers was an absolute headache.

   The appearance of a single licker meant that they had to use their hot weapons and would waste quite a few bullets.

   This was the post-apocalyptic world, and it was very difficult to replenish bullets.

   The bullets on hand were almost made by hand, and each one was expensive.

   Not only Lin Sen, but quite a few people in the convoy were nervous.

   "All speed a little, after a firefight, ten minutes is necessary to evacuate." Lin Sen shouted over the intercom.

   A firefight, the sound made, was enough to startle the zombies in a radius of one or two kilometres.

   With the density of zombies here, ten minutes would be enough to turn this place into a sea of corpses. Tens of thousands of zombies would instantly drown them and become their food.

   Gu Yongchun didn't come down and continued to stay up there.

   The speed of the licker, was very fast, and in just under a minute, it appeared within view. It moved quickly, making a continuous sound, which was produced when it crawled.

   "Boom!"

   Between approaching the convoy, the Licker scuffed so hard that it cracked a wall and lunged down.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

   "Fire."

   Lin Sen roared, taking the lead in firing himself.

   The power of the Type 03 automatic rifle was extremely penetrating.

   The several team members who had rifles all pulled the trigger at the same time Lin Sen fired.

   The rifles spat out tongues of fire, forming a web of bullets.

   The licker was fierce, but it was still unable to dodge bullets. The bullets from the rifles made a splash of blood on its body. The muscles that had been strengthened by the virus and undergone alienation were contracting with every blow, preventing the bullets from going deeper.

   In less than two seconds, the Licker was already close at hand.

   The fact that the bullets didn't stop the lickers very effectively made Lin Sen's brows furrow.

   If he could, he wished to kill the licker without having to make contact.

   Tangling with the Licker, any mistakes made, would be fatal.

   In the strongholds, there had been some alienators who thought they were strong, but ended up drinking in the infection.

   Alienation, in fact, is being affected by the virus in the air, so that the genes have changed to bring about an increase in strength. Being affected would be fine, but it didn't mean that being infected would be fine.

   For these low-level alienators like them, infection was just as deadly.

   Only those who had truly reached a certain level of alienation didn't have to worry about being infected by the virus, because after alienation had reached a certain level, the genes had already produced enough antibodies to resist this virus.

   But ......

   This level was something that Lin Sen could not hope to achieve.

   Lin Sen threw the rifle in his own hand, and from the sheaths strapped to his thighs on the left and right, he plucked out the two Nepals in one hand and held them in his hands.

   The Licker was close at hand, and if he didn't stop it, the moment he let it get close to the convoy, it would be a catastrophe for the people in the convoy.

   Raising his foot, Lin Sen stepped on the edge of the heavy truck bucket, his muscles contracting and firing, catapulting himself up and far away to meet the Licker in a counterblast.

   To be able to become the captain of a convoy, what did one rely on?

   Strength!

   Only strength was the most reliable thing in this post-apocalyptic world.

   Gu Yongchun was an alien, a new human; Lin Sen was also an alien, a new human.

   Compared to Gu Yongchun's sensitivity alienation, Lin Sen's alienation was in the direction of strength. Sensitivity alienation would enhance strength by a small amount, and strength alienation would similarly enhance sensitivity by a small amount.

   Alienation, in turn, could be divided into first level alienation, second level alienation ......

   Gu Yongchun was only a level two alienation, but Lin Sen himself, was a level three alienation.

   Level three alienation allowed Lin Sen to completely fight ten ordinary people, or even twenty, so his strength was generally visible.

   Ordinary zombies thought in a straight line and didn't know what it meant to dodge, but the licker was different, the virus had a stronger effect on it, allowing its brain domain to have a less instinctive reaction than an ordinary zombie.

   This kind of instinctive reaction would allow it to react when faced with an attack.

   Facing the oncoming Lin Sen, the licker opened its mouth wide, its long tongue curling towards Lin Sen.

   Lin Sen, who was facing the oncoming lunge, stiffly allowed himself to twist his body in the air.

   The Licker's tongue almost pierced through Lin Sen's chest.

   "Poof!"

   Staggering, the sharp blade, opened a wound on this licker's body, from the head, through the neck until the stomach.

   The biggest difference between humans and zombies was that humans possessed their own thoughts.

   With one strike, both sides staggered.

   The licker was also a highly sensitive zombie, it landed on the ground, the category of wounds was like nothing to it. Having lost its sense of pain, it was completely unable to feel the damage of this blow.

   It landed on the ground and immediately turned its head to continue pouncing at Lin Sen.

   Lin Sen was also not slow, a roll, the Nepalese sabre in his hand swept past.

   The licker lunged towards Lin Sen, leaping over Lin Sen's head.

   The sharp Nepalese Army Knife, however, was lifted by Lin Sen and slashed through the licker's abdomen.

   "Wow!"

   Leaping over the licker that landed on the ground, it was the internal organs that slid out of its abdomen, bringing with it a pool of dark liquid.

   Such a heavy injury, if it was an ordinary creature, it would have been a fatal wound.

   Lin Sen did not dare to have a trace of carelessness, holding the double knife staring at the licker. The Licker could make a mistake, but he absolutely could not make a mistake, even if it hurt his skin, it would be a fatal injury.

   The licker moved slowly, its eyes fixed on Lin Sen, circling around him.

   The internal organs in its abdomen, kept dragging on the ground, but this licker didn't care.

   Lin Sen licked his lips, he felt a little dry.

   "Whoosh!"

   In the next moment, the licker once again used all its limbs to erupt and scurry up towards Lin Sen.

   "Ah ah ah ah ......" Lin Sen gripped the Nepalese saber in his hand tightly and ran wildly against the licker. Almost the next moment the Licker leapt up, he jumped up as well.

   Lin Sen's face carried a wave of madness, and his bouncing power put him above above the Licker.

   "Poof!"

   "Poof!"

   One after the other, the two Nepalese Sabres were inserted into the Licker's neck.

   Lin Sen, on the other hand, was riding on the Licker's head.

   The licker landed on the ground and tried to twist its head to tear into Lin Sen.

   Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Sen's arms steeply exerted force, and the two Nepalese military knives cut back like scissors, hardening the licker's head and strangling it off its neck.

   "Whew!"

   The licker that had lost its head was instantly still.

   Lin Sen stood up, panting heavily, that series of actions just now had consumed a great deal of his strength.

   However, ......

   Lin Sen was the one who violently raised his Nepalese Army Knife, the ebony liquid on it dripping down.

   "Roar ......"

   With a growl, Lin Sen let out a roar.

   The team members in the caravan, all of them issued a response.

   In the end of the world, it was their good fortune to have such a courageous captain. It meant that they were stronger, would reap more rewards, and live better.

   Lin Sen's gaze went deeper into the city.

   "One day, we humans will become the masters of this city again."
