Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 251 - 243: Perilous Climb

Now, hearing the commotion from Li Yu and the others, the zombies ran towards them.

Li Yu was at the front, and the cave entrance ahead was lit up. Zombies disliked light, so there were none around the entrance.

Li Yu looked back when they were less than 5 meters from the entrance and saw that Li Tie and Li Gang were not keeping up, but they were not far behind, just less than ten meters away.

Four or five zombies emerged close to Li Tie and Li Gang, who were trying to fend them off.

Li Yu frowned slightly, and flashed his light behind the two men, only to see a mass of zombies running towards them.

They were less than 10 meters from Li Tie and Li Gang, who were still dealing with the zombies on both sides and were trapped, unable to break free quickly.

"Quick," Li Yu called out.

Then he ran back, lifting his Submachine Gun and firing at the zombies behind the two men.

Bang bang bang!

A swath of zombies fell, and Li Yu, without stopping, reached the two men's side to help them dispatch the surrounding zombies.

"Big brother, let's go," Li Tie yelled.

Upon seeing Li Yu return to help dispatch the zombies, Li Tie felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Just a moment ago, they had been focused on dealing with the zombies on both sides but had failed to realize that more zombies were coming up from behind.

After clearing the nearby zombies, the three of them picked up speed and ran toward the cave entrance.

In just a few seconds, the three reached the entrance.

And then they ran out of the cave.

Dapao and Wang Cheng saw Li Yu and the others running out with sweaty faces and an expression of intense anxiety.

Having heard the gunfire from inside, they had a rough idea of what had happened.

Dapao took out a Hand Grenade tied around his waist, ready to throw it into the cave.

Li Yu saw his action and quickly called out, "Don't blow it up yet; the whole cavern might collapse. It's easy for us to get buried."

Li Yu waved his hand, signaling for everyone to run towards the large iron gate outside.

"Let's get out first and close the gate," Li Yu shouted while speaking.

Dapao reacted quickly to the words.

Without a moment's hesitation, he ran towards the big gate.

He was the first to reach the gate. Looking around, he picked up two thick sticks from the ground, then closed one side of the gate, leaving the other side open.

Holding the sticks, he waited for everyone to come out and then barred the gate with them.

Wang Cheng quickly followed, running out of the gate.

Next was Li Tie, Li Gang, with Li Yu coming out last.

The moment he came out, Wang Cheng shut the other door, and Dapao immediately secured it with two wooden sticks.

Right after securing it, a series of pounding and the zombies' roaring could be heard from behind.

That was close!

Everyone felt a wave of fear afterwards.

It was a near miss. As the space inside was very cramped, fighting zombies there was akin to seeking death.

Should there have been too many zombies and they ran out of bullets, that would have been the moment of their death.

Sweat dripped profusely down their brows.

That was way too thrilling, such a close call.

Dapao was pushing hard against the door, and although the wooden sticks were somewhat effective, the tireless onslaught from the zombies might still break through; the sticks couldn't hold out much longer.

Dapao shouted: "Tiezi, bring that iron chain you used to unlock earlier. Tie it up. These sticks won't last long."

Li Tie, still catching his breath, searched around where they had been smashing the door and eventually found a thick and sturdy iron chain.

Wang Cheng and Dapao braced themselves against the big iron door, as the force from the other side grew increasingly stronger, Li Yu also stepped forward to push.

Resisting the zombies' assault.

Li Tie hurriedly locked the door with the iron chain, wrapping it around twice and finally tying a knot, pulling it down hard. Secured tightly!

The two wooden sticks were still fastened on the other side.

With the chain in place, everyone backed away.

Boom, boom, boom!

After the chain was secured, the impacts on the door caused the chain to tighten.

The zombies pushed frantically against the door, but despite the impacts, it failed to give way.

Only then did the group start to feel a bit of relief, taking deep breaths.

It was unclear how many zombies were inside, but Li Yu had caught a glimpse of dozens of zombies in a brief look.

The extent of this cavern was also unknown.

Just looking at this mountain with its rugged rocky landscape, it's no wonder it's a battleground.

There were also many shooting holes, all in an inverted triangular shape.

This inverted triangle design was meant to repel attacks from outsiders, allowing for gun placement and reducing vulnerability to enemy fire.

The group waited outside for a while, with the zombies' roar still emanating from behind the door.

It seemed the zombies were relentless, pushing tirelessly against the door.

"Big brother, what do we do now? Are we going back in?" Hearing the persistent roars of the zombies inside, Li Tie hesitated, finally asking.

Li Yu checked his firearms and ammunition, then thought for a moment and said, "We've come all this way, so we must go back in and take another look. If we leave just like this and there are indeed weapons stored inside, wouldn't we miss out for nothing?"

He then walked towards another narrow path they had passed earlier to take a look.

After observing from a farther distance, he said, "This cavern must have more than this one entrance. Let's go check out this path."

Everyone nodded and headed towards the adjacent mountain path.

The path was rough, consisting of large rocks which naturally provided cover, perfect for resisting enemies.

Walking along the path for less than two minutes, they found the path ahead ceased to be, although it wouldn't be right to say it completely disappeared.

Instead, the path before them was just extremely rugged, with an almost 85-degree incline.

There were marks on the path of people having climbed before. Li Yu stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the path. There were some protruding rocks and trees, suitable for climbing.

Even if one were to fall while climbing up, they would not fall to their death, as there were many trees that could provide protection against a tumble down.
