Rebirth: City Beseiged By Zombi - Chapter 26
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
An hour later, Shen Chen was surrounded by the corpses of zombies. The corpses were like natural bunkers, blocking the attack of approaching zombies.
Although the corridor was covered with blood and flesh pulp, the zombies still came up like an ant army. It was like a seemingly endless tide.
Numerous hands, their skin separated from their flesh, swooped at Shen Chen! They were going to tear him to pieces! The long corridor was full of shaking figures, and a large number of zombies were coming like people rushing into a train station at the Spring Festival.
It had been an hour of non-stop attacks! Shen Chen gradually felt desperate. An hour of intense fighting had made him feel really powerless. He was very unsteady, and suddenly staggered around when he got up. He almost fell to the ground on his knees.
Several zombies jumped up at him with their big mouths wide open. By instinct, Shen Chen leaned to the side in an unconscious attempt to avoid a zombie’s sweeping hands. He fell to the left and kicked the zombie at its knee with his right leg. With a dull sound, Shen Chen felt like his calf had struck a pillar. The sharp pain made him let out a low roar.
Sweat on his forehead dripped down into his eyes. The salty sweat made him feel achy and itchy. His muscles couldn’t support him after such a heavy fight. They began to shake involuntarily.
‘Will I die here today? I can’t really hold out any longer.’ Shen Chen shook with fear. ‘No. It’s not easy to be reborn. How can I end up dying here at this time?”
Bang!
Shen Chen kicked away a zombie hard. Breathing heavily, he caught the handle of the machete in the back of the zombie with both hands, then pulled the machete out. Regardless of the blood splashing over on his body, he took up the machete and cut down. The zombie’s ugly head and body separated from each other after the machete fell. Its head rolled a few meters away on the ground.
Shen Chen had reached the edge of collapse. A super fierce fight and the attack of hundreds of zombies were going to tear him up. This was the only thing that he could do now! Shen Chen reluctantly wiped the sweat on his face, but his trembling hands told him that the next moment he might be unable to even hold a knife.
“What should I do? What should I do?” Shen Chen asked himself repeatedly.
All of a sudden, the zombie in front of him jumped up like a grasshopper and came at Shen Shen with its large fierce-looking mouth. Suddenly, Shen Chen was knocked down by the zombie. A stench mixed with the smell of blood rushed into his nose, then more and more zombies came up!
“This is not good.” Shen Shen suddenly gave a crazy roar. He simply threw away the black blade and swung a fist at the zombie. His great strength made the whole body of the zombie fly backward, making a gap for him among the approaching zombies.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Shen quickly turned over and stood up. His face and body were all covered with blood; he was like a drowned mouse.
He lost his weapon, and he couldn’t hold his fists tightly anymore. “Is today the day where they bury my bones?”
Suddenly, he looked at the Evolution Fluid in the bottle of mineral water in his backpack. “This is what I got last time. I didn’t take the others with me in my backpack, only this bottle.”
Shen Chen’s eyes sank into their sockets. In the previous life, some people had tried taking the Evolution Fluid in less than twenty-four hours, and all of them turned into zombies in the end. However, it was said that there was once a person who drank two bottles in a row, but he was safe in the end, and even got amazing explosive fighting strength because of it.
“Drink it or not?” If he drank it, he could possibly become an ugly zombie in twenty-four hours, but if he didn’t drink it, he believed that he couldn’t hold on for more than a few minutes. Then, the end of the story would be him being torn to pieces by the ugly zombies! There would be no single bit of him left!
Shen Chen bit his teeth, and his eyes dimmed in despair. Suddenly, Shen Chen quickly kicked the sanitary napkin on the ground to the zombies!
The strong smell of blood made the zombies cry out. They immediately changed the object of their attack. They all went after the sanitary napkin. The sanitary napkin was squabbled over and became the zombies’ new target!
The sanitary napkin was like a boat, going up and down in the tide of zombies. The zombies looked like hungry ghosts crawling out of hell, lying on the ground and licking the blood on the sanitary napkin with their tongues.
Shen Chen suddenly unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle in his backpack. His eyes showed that he hesitated a little, then he made up his mind and raised his chin to take a drink.
He had half a bottle of Evolution Fluid. It was enough for ten people, and should be taken after twenty-four hours, but Shen Chen couldn’t wait any longer. All of a sudden, his whole body felt like it were being cut by tens of millions of blades. Then, he felt like he was being bitten by tens of thousands of ants. It was not only painful, but also extremely itchy.
However, this was just the beginning. With the Evolution Fluid taking effect, the pain increased. The channels in his body, through which vital energy circulated, were damaged by the powerful effect of the Evolution Fluid. The pain was so acute that the blood vessels burst in his eyes.
The Evolution Fluid circulated in Shen Chen’s veins. It danced in a crazy way, just like a flood that had burst through a dam. The fluid was wildly rolling and running in his body like a hurricane. Nothing could stop it. His blood vessels were tumbling. It felt like his whole body was burning.
Shen Chen didn’t know that his eyes had turned a bloody red. He looked thirsty for blood.
“Ah!” Shen Chen made a long cry. In a moment, a powerful energy radiated from him, as if a demon had come into him.
With his long roar, all the zombies around him suddenly felt an unprecedented danger. They even gave up the sanitary napkin, which was fatally attractive to them. One by one, they turned their heads and looked at the ferocious looking man. He looked like a trapped bloodthirsty beast.

At this time, on the third floor, Zhao Zhen and Guo Yuan had no idea what was happening to Shen Chen upstairs. They searched several times on the third floor and couldn’t find the others.
“Did Zhao Ze really take them to the fourth floor? Or is it possible that they’ve gone back?” Guo Yuan asked anxiously.
“Are you kidding? No, wait a minute. Be quiet. I think I hear something upstairs.” Zhao Zhen suddenly frowned and looked around in confusion. Suddenly, he turned to a door!
Bang! Zhao Zhen kicked the door open. He saw Pan Di standing in the room with a look of horror on his face. In front of him was Li Qi, who was lying in blood on the floor. His back had been split by a fire ax. He was nearly dying,
“Li Qi! What happened to you, Li Qi?”
But Li Qi was unable to speak. He opened his eyes hopelessly, as if he didn’t believe that he was going to die. He spat blood on the ground, coughing constantly, then raised both hands to point at Pan Di.
