Rebirth of MC Chpt 102 - 202 (unedited translations)

Chapter 103: Bitten

Following the explosion, a steel grappling hook shoots towards the wall of the opposite building at high speed, penetrating deep into the surface and fastens itself there. Tugging on the steel rope to ensure it wouldn't give out halfway, Long Zhanye loops the other end around the closest shelf and knots it. Fortunately for them, the shelf is bolted to the floor so it will not slip.

"The backpack is a military-use item. Buckle it tight around your waist. There are two steel rings at the top of the shoulder straps. Fasten them together and hook it onto this rope. We'll cross to the opposite building and leave from there!" Long Zhanye instructs as he slots his own metal ring onto the steel rope.

Not needing the soldier to demonstrate, the other two quickly buckles their backpack tightly. Another violent strike on the door causes the entire frame to shake. Then the whole door topples, collapsing with a final bang. With no obstacles blocking the view of the outside, one can see countless zombies squeezed in the doorway. Fortunately, the arrays prevent them from pouring in or else the horrifying horde would have already been upon them.

Hiss –

Not giving them any time to breathe, an ear-piercing hiss rises above the din of low growls, causing the three human's head to throb painfully. Their vision spins, almost making their knees give out.

The shrill noise stops and the pain disperses. Sweeping a glace over the swarm of zombies, he immediately picks out a small figure amongst them. Antenna, insect eyes, lipless mouth with knife-like teeth, human face and red, larvae-like body. A sharp, needle-like tail extends from its back. Its four small, short limbs with five fingers and toes each end in a half-inch, purplish-red claw.

Even as he watches, that small monster lifts a hand, claws reaching towards the array. With a sound akin to paper tearing, a rip appears in the barrier. An array that is able to stop numerous zombies from crossing was actually torn apart so easily with only a light tap of those claws! Just what in the world is this monster?!

"Zhanye, you go over first! You're responsible for supporting us when we're on the rope. Quickly!!" While speaking, Huo Zaiyuan takes out more talismans to reinforce the barriers.

That little monster's ability is really too strange and powerful, so this time, he has to use his highest quality talismans!

With his strongest talismans now holding up the arrays, the small creature's mouth split opens in a furious snarl. Tiny hands slap angrily on the barrier over and over again. Meanwhile, Long Zhanye has already repelled over to the opposite building, beckoning the others to come over from his position on the balcony.

"Little Yuan, let's go together. That thing cannot be left alone!" Zhou Xingfeng says as he takes out a glove from his coat pocket.

"All right. Make sure to do as I do!" Huo Zaiyuan nods, stepping pass Zhou Xingfeng and leaping out the hole. He senses the array is close to being breached. If they continue to linger, they will likely lose their lives.

Also, that small creature absolutely cannot be allowed to live as it is way too horrifying!

As the two repel down the line, Zhou Xingfeng pulls the pin on a grenade and tosses it into the room. In the span of a few seconds, their feet touch the ground on the other side just in time to see the grenade explode, collapsing the storage room.

Having prepared for this, Long Zhanye grabs the two youths, disconnects them from the steel rope and manhandles them to take cover behind a wall of the balcony. The sound of stone and plaster raining down continues for a while before silence falls once again.

~~~

The cloud of fine sand and dust gradually settles down. Crouched behind the wall of the balcony with Huo Zaiyuan and Zhou Xingfeng partially covered by his tall frame, Long Zhanye glances around to ensure there is no danger before rising slowly to his feet.
