Ch 283: Clearing the Stronghold of Zombies

Several survivors ran up, but Ji Chuan raised his cleaver, signaling them not to approach.

“There are zombies behind! Get out of the way!”

Although these people were very anxious and angry, they dared not overstep Ji Chuan’s Great Machete.

“I’ve locked up the upstairs. I need to confirm that you haven’t been scratched by zombies, otherwise it will threaten the safety of the people upstairs. If zombies come, I will deal with them; you don’t need to be afraid.”

“Are you kidding me?!……”

Just as the man in front roared, Ji Chuan’s Great Machete stopped precisely in front of his neck.

Such a large cleaver must be very heavy, but the other party could control it so precisely, which shows amazing strength.

The man saw the cleaver in front of his neck; he had already felt the icy touch of the blade. He immediately raised his hands, breaking out in a cold sweat.

“Brother, don’t be impulsive, I’m not going up, I’m not going up.”

“Keep your distance from each other and check if you’re injured. Don’t try to go upstairs; I will catch up with you.”

After calming everyone down, Ji Chuan moved downwards. A zombie had already roared and chased after him.

Those closer screamed and ran upstairs, but Ji Chuan directly leaped over the stair railing, jumped down, and chopped off the zombie’s head with one strike.

It’s much easier to use than a cleaver; I hardly need to aim.

“I’ll say it again, don’t move!”

The panicked people were subdued by Ji Chuan’s roar, and they all stood still, staring at the headless corpse on the ground.

Ji Chuan went back upstairs and began to examine everyone.

Zombie scratches are mostly in visible areas, and their condition is hard to hide.

“You go up, you go up…”

Ji Chuan conducted the check, trying to ensure the safety of others.

A woman looked flustered; she quickly pulled her sleeves down, her complexion somewhat pale.

When Ji Chuan walked in front of her, he frowned.

“Show me your arms and lower legs.”

“What right do you have to do this? I’m cold; you’re a man bullying a girl!”

The woman’s chest heaved; Ji Chuan’s cleaver was across her neck.

“Everyone else stay away from her; show me your arms and legs!”

Under the threat of the cleaver, the woman reluctantly rolled up her pants leg; there was no wound.

She burst into tears under everyone’s gaze.

“How can you bully her like that?!”

Seeing the woman cry, a man stepped forward.

“Her hand is already turning blue. If you think I’m bullying her, then come and help her leave.”

The man’s gaze fell on half of the woman’s hand, which was hidden by her sleeve, and then he unconsciously retreated.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, the woman’s expression began to change; her body began to twitch slightly uncontrollably.

Soon her eyes rolled back, her voice hoarse as she let out a roar.

With a single strike from Ji Chuan, she, who had just become a zombie, fell down.

“Does anyone still think the inspection is unnecessary? Those who haven’t been checked, quickly show your limbs; I still have to go downstairs to save others!”

Seeing the seriousness of the situation, everyone finally started to cooperate actively. Ji Chuan didn’t want to run around all the floors of the hotel; without special abilities, this was very wasteful of energy.

After confirming that the remaining people were fine, Ji Chuan prepared to continue pushing downwards.

“Those whose rooms are upstairs can wait in the stairwell first; those whose rooms are downstairs can follow me; I’ll take you back.”

Several people looked at each other. Most people chose to run downstairs to escape, and the zombies were attracted by them, but they didn’t expect that as they ran, new zombies chased after them.

If they could return to their rooms, that would be the best. Several people had already stood behind Ji Chuan.

The decisive killing, calmness, and composure he displayed were not something ordinary people could do; following him felt safer.

On each floor, he would knock on the gates to attract the zombies’ attention, preventing zombies from sneaking upstairs.

“What’s going on? Why is it so noisy outside?!”

A guest who had been woken up opened the door, only to see a scene he would never forget in his life: Ji Chuan wielding a cleaver, chopping off a zombie’s head.

“Murder! Murder!”

The man was instantly wide awake; he frantically closed the door, then picked up the phone to call the police.

Unexpectedly, the emergency line was constantly busy.

Ji Chuan ignored him and continued to clear the zombies on this floor. As long as others closed their doors tightly, there would be no danger for now.

Those who fled and didn’t enter their rooms were his focus. Even if they were scratched by zombies, as long as they entered their rooms, they wouldn’t threaten others’ safety. Zombies are not intelligent and basically won’t open doors.

When they reached the third-floor restaurant, everyone had entered their rooms, and the restaurant was a typical scene of the apocalypse.

Blood and limbs were everywhere; tables and chairs were overturned; a strong smell of blood filled the air; the zombies all pounced on Ji Chuan when they saw him.

Ji Chuan casually picked up a chair as a shield and, wielding his cleaver, turned them into pieces.

Finally almost done, Ji Chuan checked around and found that the back kitchen door was tightly closed.

Ji Chuan casually knocked on the door, loudly saying that the zombies were all dealt with and it was now safe.

The survivors in the public areas still needed his inspection. After checking them and closing the hotel gate, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Master Zhao cautiously watched Ji Chuan through the glass window of the gate. After confirming that he was human and his expression was relaxed, he hesitated for a moment before opening the door.

Besides him, there were several kitchen assistants in the back kitchen; they were all holding cleavers and nervously staring at Ji Chuan.

“The zombies are all dealt with; it’s safe now.”

Ji Chuan continued to walk towards the warehouse. After Ji Chuan went far, Master Zhao and the others finally walked out of the kitchen, their stomachs churning at the sight of the corpses.

Several kitchen employees picked up their cleavers and ran out. The hotel employees’ homes were mostly in Jianghua City; taking advantage of the current safety, they wanted to rush home to reunite with their families.

Tang Yue did not stop them. When Pei Wendong reported the situation, she had him open the gate, letting many other residents who wanted to escape the hotel go as well.

“Is anyone there?”

Ji Chuan knocked on the restaurant’s warehouse.

“Let me open it; I have the key.”

Master Zhao followed; he found that Ji Chuan had no malicious intent.

Hearing the conversation outside, Zhu Zhu opened the door. During the chaos in the restaurant, she saw that the warehouse door was open and hid here.

“Zhu Zhu?”

Ji Chuan was a little surprised. He remembered Zhu Zhu saying that she survived by hiding in the warehouse, but he didn’t expect the zombies to come earlier this time, and she still took the same action.

“You… you know me?”

Ji Chuan didn’t know how to explain; he awkwardly shifted his gaze to the warehouse.

“There’s a lot of pork, mutton, beef, and vegetables in here. Enough to last a while…”

“Yeah, President Tang recently instructed that the inventory must be kept full.”

Looking at the tall, handsome man in front of her, Zhu Zhu’s face turned red. It turned out that she had misunderstood. Such a handsome man wouldn’t possibly know such an ordinary person like herself.
