Chapter 27 Alchemy Bomb
Alice also shouted from above:
"Hurry, run this way!"
Zheng Zha and the others didn't dare to hesitate and quickly ran towards the cave entrance.
Before the zombie that had been thrown back could get up, Geralt quickly followed up with an Igni sign.
In an instant, orange flames erupted from Geralt's palm, and several pillars of fire ignited the surrounding zombies.
The zombies felt no pain and continued to pounce on Geralt and his companions, still engulfed in flames.
However, the zombie ignited by the Igni sign hadn't even taken a few steps before it turned into a charred corpse and fell to the ground.
In an instant, the stench of burning filled the air and permeated the space.
Meanwhile, Zheng Zha and the others also ran to the bottom of the cave entrance.
Matthew and the others grabbed Zheng Zha and the others' hands and quickly pulled them up one by one.
However, there were simply too many zombies. Geralt had just cleared out the zombies in front of him when more and more zombies quickly filled the gap.
"Hurry up and grab my hand, Zhu Peng!"
Zheng Zha lay on the edge of the cave entrance, stretching out his arm towards Zhu Peng below.
At this point, only Zhu Peng and Geralt remained to be pulled up.
Geralt is delaying the zombies' approach to buy Zhu Peng time.
Zhu Peng looked anxious and jumped up with all his might, but he still couldn't reach Zheng Zha's outstretched arm.
He was so fat that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't jump high.
With each jump and landing, Zhu Peng's mindset gradually turned towards despair.
Geralt, who was standing nearby, was busy holding off the zombies and had no time to help him.
On his side, he couldn't jump up and grab Zheng Zha's outstretched arm at all.
At this critical moment, Zhu Peng felt like he was about to collapse.
"If I make it back alive this time, I'm definitely going to get rid of this fat!"
Geralt, standing nearby, looked at the zombies that were about to surround him, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
"There are just too many zombies. As soon as we eliminate the zombies in front, more zombies immediately come to take their place."
"If this continues, the magic will be exhausted very quickly."
"The brownish-yellow owl potion I carried to restore my magic power was also used up when I killed the water ghosts."
Geralt also saw Zhu Peng's situation nearby.
Geralt quickly made a decision, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes, and pulled out one of the two remaining alchemical bombs from his pocket: the High Dancing Star.
Geralt then activated the High Dancing Star Bomb using magic.
Even through the outer shell of the alchemical bomb, Geralt could instantly sense the previously calm energy within being activated, like a volcano about to erupt.
At this moment, the alchemical bomb in Geralt's hand was like a restless little beast. With a flick of his arm, the alchemical bomb drew an arc and smashed into the densest area of zombies.
At the same time, Geralt managed to pull back and push Zhu Peng aside, then activated the Quen sign, forming an orange protective shield that enveloped the two of them.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, a dark red flame suddenly exploded in the center of the zombie horde, right where the Advanced Dancing Star Bomb had landed.
It instantly engulfed the horde of zombies, and the towering flames obscured the view.
At the same time, the shockwave from the explosion also struck Geralt's protective shield.
The orange protective shield rippled with waves.
The underground space began to shake violently, and Zheng Zha and the others inside the cave quickly grabbed the wall next to them to prevent themselves from falling.
The explosion lasted for a full 10 seconds. Before the ground tremors subsided, Geralt immediately lifted Zhu Peng up, and then Zheng Zha and the others above quickly pulled Zhu Peng inside.
Geralt then used the wall as leverage to jump into the hole.
Only then did everyone have time to look towards the center of the explosion.
The seventy or eighty zombies that were originally baring their fangs and claws were reduced to charred remains, with some unburnt flesh crackling in the flames.
A few zombies that hadn't died immediately struggled to get up, but only sank deeper and deeper into the flames.
"Brother Geralt, what kind of bomb is that? It's incredibly powerful!"
Li Xiaoyi said with a shocked expression.
suddenly!
"Snap, snap!"
Strange noises came from the roof of this underground space, and spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on the surrounding walls.
Grayish-white stone chips fell to the ground.
"Oh no, this place is about to collapse."
"Hurry up and go."
Geralt lifted Zhu Peng with his left hand and scooped Zhan Lan up with his right, tucking her into his right arm, and started running.
The others, without any distinction of order, quickly ran deeper into the cave.
The group hurried along, and after running about twenty or thirty meters, they heard the sound of a landslide behind them.
Without delay, they found the nearest sewer cover and crawled out.
"We finally escaped!"
Zheng Zha slumped to the ground, panting heavily as he spoke.
Zhu Peng also said with a shocked expression:
"Today's experience was more exciting than all of my previous twenty years combined."
"I'm starting to wonder if I'm playing Tomb Raider in real life."
Zhan Lan surveyed the quiet surroundings and said:
"This is the lab we passed by before. It seems the zombies here have all gone to Restaurant B."
Kaplan, looking at the camera on the wall, urged everyone:
"Let's hurry up and leave!"
"The Red Queen has spotted us, and we're out of ammunition."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces tightened, and without even taking a breath, they began to flee for their lives again.
On the other hand, it was indeed as Kaplan said.
Wesker looked at Geralt and the others who had reappeared on the surveillance footage and asked:
"Red Queen, have the Lickers on the platform been lured there yet?"
The Red Queen replied:
"Mr. Wesker, everything is in place as you instructed."
At this moment, Geralt and his party, without daring to delay for even the slightest time, finally arrived at the train stop.
JD looked at the train that was almost in front of him, a relieved smile spreading across his face. He excitedly ran towards the train, shouting:
"Damn it, I'm going back and quitting my job. I'll never come back to this godforsaken place again."
Matthew listened and said helplessly:
"There's no need to resign. After something like this, the company probably won't let us off the hook."
At this moment, JD touched his face, looked at the slime on his hand, and his expression changed before he could even look up.
All that could be heard was Geralt's shout: "Get out of the way!"
JD's consciousness was plunged into darkness, and he saw two Lickers descend from the sky and pin JD to the ground with their claws.
One of the lickers opened its mouth and bit off half of JD's head.
The other licker bit off the remaining half of JD's head.
