Super Zombie Factory - Chapter 36
Chapter 36: Formation
At a construction site outside the biochemical plant…
Lu Chuan sent out all the zombies that he could, including the seven zombie dogs that he had manufactured.
Five zombie dogs dispersed in four directions, and they moved around and walked among the zombies.
The number of other zombies had reached 41.
More than half of them were fully armed, and the other half were just like ordinary zombies. These zombies were sent to the construction site by Lu Chuan, to construct obstacles.
At the front of the biochemical plant, through the holographic projection, a blood-red arrow could be seen pointing toward the biochemical plant from afar.
Needless to say, the arrow represented the direction in which the zombies would appear during the attack.
With this hint, the defense difficulty would be reduced drastically.
It also made Lu Chuan calmer. He was no longer the same as before, tensed up as he guessed the direction or directions of attack.
Countdown to zombie attack: 2 days, 00 hours, 33 minutes, 47 seconds.
The countdown timer kept reminding Lu Chuan of the time.
……
Zombie 27 and Zombie 28 worked together to erect an iron pipe.
Zombie 41 was a basketball player with a height of 1.9 meters. He was still wearing a damaged sports shirt that had a huge and almost faded number 12.
Stepping on a tall chair, athlete Zombie 41 picked up the hammer and hit the iron pipe fiercely.
The construction site was covered with soil, and with such brute force, the iron pipe was nailed into the soil.
As basketball player Zombie 41 smashed and hammered over and over, the iron pipe, which was originally three meters high, was hammered into the soil by one meter, making the iron pipe extremely sturdy.
After one pipe was done, he went on to another.
In the boss’s office in the biochemical plant, Lu Chuan exhaled heavily.
God knew how difficult it was for the zombies to do this. Lu Chuan had tried a countless number of methods before he could give out instructions for them to achieve this incredible operation.
Let’s start with Zombie 27 and 28. The first instruction was to grab the iron pipe, the second instruction was to make it stand, the third was for one end to be placed on the ground, and the fourth instruction was for them to hold it tight and sturdy.
After completing these instructions, he would need to turn his head back and give instructions to Zombie 41.
Standing on the chair, picking up the hammer, hammering the iron pipe…
With the step-by-step guidance, the zombies could work together to nail the iron pipes to the ground, forming a row of obstacles.
It was not an exaggeration to say that almost every action depended on Lu Chuan’s instructions.
Otherwise, with a zombie’s traits, they wouldn’t be able to accomplish the task without making modifications to the instructions. Their single-mindedness meant that they could only do single-minded things.
The piles of useless garbage in the warehouse were a result of that.
Lu Chuan’s order was for them to look for precious metals or other commodities. But they brought back everything that could be moved.
There were plastic models, sofas, coffee tables, cashier counters… These were rubbish in Lu Chuan’s eyes.
At the front of the massive construction site was the street.
Along with the zombies’ hustle and Lu Chuan’s efforts, many iron pipes were inserted into the ground one by one, forming a maze-like arrangement.
Knowing that the zombie attack was approaching, Lu Chuan not only used up all the funds to create a large number of zombies, he had also used the nature of the construction site to make a formation.
Once the zombies arrived, they could only proceed toward the biochemical plant using the route arranged by the iron pipe obstruction.
In this way, Lu Chuan could give play to the characteristics of his own zombies. Like a tower defense game, at a certain point, they could use a machete to slash and kill, harvesting people’s heads.
According to Lu Chuan’s estimation, the zombies that appeared should mainly be ordinary zombies, with a small number of zombie dogs and a very small chance of mutated zombies.
With his current strength, he should be able to hold them down.
In order to slow them, Lu Chuan had placed countless waste materials along the route; it was like a thorny pathway, sufficient to make it difficult for the zombies to move.
That wasn’t all: Lu Chuan positioned three zombies every ten meters. They held rebars, and in this narrow passage, they could hold out against the enemies.
The seven zombie dogs would wait for an opportunity to move, pointing their snouts at the incoming zombie dogs.
Only by pitting speed against speed could he stop the fast and agile zombie dogs from approaching the biochemical plant.
According to the rules, the zombies did not have to break the alloy walls of the biochemical plant. They only had to get close and touch the alloy walls for the defense system to be seen as a failure and for the demotion in level.
41 zombies hustled, giving this construction site an air of enthusiasm.
The zombies that were wandering on the construction site before had also been cleared out.
A brawny zombie, number 33, carried a machete, walking purposefully toward some of the zombies who were wandering around, and when he approached them, the knife fell and their heads rolled to the ground.
One by one, Zombie 33 either split their heads or chopped them off.
Like a killing machine, he was cold and ruthless, meticulous, replicating the killing action like a robot. There was only one outcome for the zombies that it approached—a severed corpse.
There were hundreds of zombies wandering around the construction site.
In just half a day, Zombie 33 completed Lu Chuan’s instructions.
Just like cutting vegetables, these zombies were like stationary monsters, one slice taking one of their lives, which naturally made the process extremely fast. Zombies couldn’t think and didn’t care when their companions were killed.
Even if dark blood splattered their faces, they would still wait blankly for Zombie 33 to cut them.
The scene at the construction site at this moment was absolutely mysterious. Fortunately, there were no survivors here, otherwise they would definitely think that their eyes were playing tricks on them.
After killing the zombies on the construction site, Lu Chuan issued another order to drag the corpses of these zombies away from the construction site.
They were in the city, and the huge number of zombies filled it with a stench.
Lu Chuan couldn’t manage the entire city, but he could manage his own small piece of land.
The corpses of zombies were dragged away from the construction site by his subordinate zombies and tossed out on the street. Hundreds of zombies formed a large pile, and the scene was spectacular.
Under the holographic projection, Lu Chuan felt like vomiting.
Hundreds of dead zombies were no different from human corpses, and were even more terrifying.
Lu Chuan knew that he had to adapt to this kind of shock.
“If he had a gun or a strong crossbow, he could shoot them remotely.” Lu Chuan touched his chin. In fact, the first zombie attack, which was only at the level of ordinary zombies, wasn’t very difficult to handle.
In modern times, Lu Chuan couldn’t get a gun, but it was still possible to get a crossbow.
Unfortunately, items from the modern times couldn’t be brought to the apocalypse.
