Chapter 6: The Corpse
Wang Zongchao smiled silently, although the price he paid was not cheap, but it was still worth it to win the trust and commitment of the mercenaries. Next, he borrowed another rope from the mercenary.
Seeing that Wang Zongchao's injury was temporarily fine, Matthew looked at Kaplan. The computer expert's head was already covered with beads of sweat, and he said, "I've turned off all the defenses!"
Then he gritted his teeth, grabbed the instrument on the ground, and walked into the passage, where his negligence had almost killed five people, and now he had to use his life to verify the correctness of this judgment!
Matthew didn't say much and walked in with him carrying the instrument, and as a responsible captain, he wouldn't watch his team members in danger. The heroine and a few mercenaries followed.
After seeing them enter, Wang Zongchao bent down to pick up a piece of iron rod that had been broken by the gate, clamped one end with his right arm, and held the other end with his left hand.
Then, under the blank gaze of several of his companions, he put the steel pipe on the bare forearm of his right hand, which had broken his right palm, and began to tie it up with a rope borrowed from the mercenary.
Seeing that it was really inconvenient for him to have only one hand, Mu Gang hurriedly stepped forward to help, this wooden middle-aged man no longer knew what language to use to express his gratitude to the other party for saving his life, and there were only "thank you" and "sorry" over and over again
"It's me who should say I'm sorry, right? If I hadn't talked too much, you wouldn't have ......" Zheng Zhe stepped forward and said apologetically.
Mu Gang glanced at Zheng Zha, suddenly roared angrily, rushed up and knocked Zheng Zha to the ground, although he tried to lower his voice as much as possible in order to avoid the mercenaries in the control room from hearing it, but his words were already full of anger, "I'm sorry?
Zheng Zha was knocked to the ground, smiled bitterly, and suddenly saw that the switchblade that Wang Zongchao had just used to break his arm happened to be beside him, so he grasped it in his hand.
Everyone else thought that he wanted to use a switchblade to fight with Mu Gang, but he didn't expect him to hold the blade upside down, get up and stretch out the handle of the knife in front of Mu Gang, and said in a low voice and sincerely: "This is indeed my fault, if you feel angry, just stab me with a knife a few times!"
Mu Gang held the knife in his hand. Hesitated a few times. But I still can't do it. Eventually, the knife was thrown out hard. Panting, he said, "Forget it." I won't settle accounts with you until everyone survives!"
"I have time to think about these words. It's better to take advantage of the time when the characters in the plot are away. Let's discuss the next step!" At this time, Wang Zongchao had already firmly tied the iron pipe to his right forearm. The curvature of the ground is just right to form a hook hand. Temporary cameo appearance as a pirate captain.
In the past, it made sense for people with disabilities to put hooks on their hands. This allows you to hook a lot of objects with your hook hand. It can also effectively protect the wound. It is also a powerful weapon in combat.
Wang Zongchao tried to wave his hook hand twice in the air. The iron hook made a heart-rending sound in the air. Leaving two fleeting afterimages. I believe that no matter what enemy stands in front of him, he will be more crippled than him in the blink of an eye!, and the people around him have been numbed by his series of actions. began to look like a matter of course.
It's treated like this. Wang Zongchao's right hand can be regarded as recovering seventy percent of his combat strength. The overall combat effectiveness has only been reduced by about 10%.
"You're ruthless kid. For the first time, I felt like a newcomer was better than me. At this time, Zhang Jie also stepped forward and praised him.
"In the original plot, Matthew would have died here, and now although he is not dead, the distance limit of the Lord God about him has also been lifted. The next thing we should consider is the danger that comes from zombies and creepers...... Now let's talk about what to do next. Zhang Jie followed by the introduction, compared to the venting introduction before the start of the horror film, his tone is now a lot more easy-going, and it seems that some newcomers have already been recognized by him on a certain level.
With his reminder, the others followed suit to discover that Matthew's name had disappeared from their watch.
"You guys are more familiar with the plot than I am, so stay and discuss. I went in to see what they were talking about. Wang Zongchao saw that those "companions" did not mean to follow up on the control room, and understood in his heart that according to the plot, it was dispensable to enter the control center of the Flame Empress.
But he doesn't want to miss every word of them, because overly superstitious plots tend to ignore some details and variables, and lead to mistakes. So after he finished speaking, he also went into the Flame Empress's control room, Zhang Jie wanted to stop him when he saw this, but he had to give up when he saw that he was walking too fast, and then he gathered Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan and a few others to discuss in a whisper.
Entering the center of the control, what appeared in front of Wang Zongchao was a small space of twenty or thirty square meters.
The surrounding metal walls glow with a ghostly glow, and in the middle stands a metal instrument that looks like a large tree, and countless light bulbs of various colors flicker around it, giving the space a bit of mystery.
Kaplan opened the portable keyboard input program in his hand, raised the Flame Empress's mainframe, and then dismantled the Flame Empress's mainframe without saying a word, and took her motherboard away, which was originally the task of the group.
"No, you can't do that. A crisp and pleasant girl's voice sounded, and then a delicate-looking little girl appeared out of thin air on a round metal plate in the room, speaking to Kaplan in a pleading tone, her expression and tone were so vivid that if it weren't for the transparency of her petite body, everyone else would have almost figured that she was a real person. In fact, she is nothing more than a high-tech stereoscopic projection, the humanized appearance of the Flame Empress.
"You can't stop my function, if you do, you'll all die here......" Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, the Flame Empress continued to dissuade.
Kaplan paused slightly, and Matthew had already shouted, "Go on, would you believe a computer that almost killed us?"
Kaplan had no choice but to speed up, and then stopped the power of the Flame Empress within three seconds, and the image disappeared, and all the surrounding qiē were dimmed due to the loss of energy, except for a few backup lights that lit up like ghostly fires.
I don't know if it was because of the words of the Flame Empress, or because the light had dimmed and made the surroundings much more gloomy, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
"I remember getting the information of the Flame Empress before, which said that when I designed that guy's program, because the intelligence and humanization were too high, the designer was worried that she would lose control, so he set a special limit: 'You can't lie to humans anyway', is her threat real?"
"Have you forgotten that she deceived you and put us in a death trap? If it weren't for Wang Zongchao and them, we would have killed at least three of us. Matthew said coldly.
"That's not the same, 'can't lie to humanity', just to make sure that everything she says to us is not a lie, doesn't mean she can't hide something, or mislead us by deliberately emphasizing certain facts and ignoring certain facts, or that she can't kill human beings. Kaplan shook his head.
Wang Zongchao has been listening attentively, it is an important piece of information, according to the plot of the movie described by Zhan Lan, they will still deal with the Flame Empress in the future.
"Do you think there will be any problems after you lock her up?" asked Matthew.
Kaplan reported according to his observations: "Probably not, as soon as the defense system is turned off, we can swagger out of the hive." ”
Wang Zongchao thought maliciously: "As long as this guy's report is good, there is absolutely no good thing." This guy really has the potential to be a broom star. ”
Matthew nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll ...... now."
Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out outside. Everyone felt abrupt and a little surprised for a moment. Matthew's face suddenly cast a shadow. Soon he reacted, picked up his gun and took the lead and rushed out. Wang Zongchao, Kaplan, and the heroine glanced at each other, and also went out.
When they arrived outside the computer room, Zhang Jie and the others seemed to have discussed countermeasures, and they quickly followed behind them when they came out. Zhan Lan secretly pulled his hand, asked him to distance himself from the mercenaries, and then whispered to him: "We decided that after they found out that the zombies were alive in a while, they would spend the remaining three hours in the main room of the Flame Empress under the pretext that we were not physically fit, or that we had to take care of the wounded and stay.
According to the plot, they will reinstall the Flame Empress, and we can use the laser tunnel to fend off zombies and creepers, which is the safest method we have discussed. ”
"In other words, the only difficulty we have now is to break through the zombies and return to the main room after they found out that the zombies were alive. Wang Zongchao nodded to show understanding, he knew that he still had to accompany the mercenaries now, because they had no reason to stay, but if they found the zombies, they would have it.
While running, Wang Zongchao suddenly felt a rush of pressure. The further you go, the more pressure you get, and when you get to "B" restaurant, the pressure reaches its peak. Watching the containers full of restaurants go from red to green. Wang Zongchao felt a tingling of his facial skin, and goosebumps were raised.
Although he had already estimated that this creature called a creeper was terrifying, he didn't expect that it would bring him such a strong warning before he faced it. Looking at the countless containers in the entire restaurant, Wang Zongchao estimated that the pressure he faced was no less than that of single-handedly fighting a group army.
The surface of the "B" restaurant was as calm as before, and the mercenary Wren was standing inside complaining about something.
Matthew walked over and frowned, "What happened? I heard gunshots. ”
Wang Zongchao saw Rain's bloody hand at a glance, and the marks on it were obviously bitten. Wang Zongchao looked at Zhan Lan, his eyes revealing his own questions. "She's infected by zombies?"
Zhan Lan understood what he meant and nodded.
Wren scolded, "Sir, we found the survivor, but he has gone crazy and actually bitten me......"
Matthew said, "So you shoot?" obviously didn't agree with the other party's abrupt shooting.
Wren shouted dissatisfiedly: "Sir, but he has gone mad!"
Suddenly, a voice said, "He's gone!" When everyone looked over there, they found that Zhang Jie was squatting there, looking at the pool of blood.
"That guy just fell right here. ”
Matthew walked over, and his face changed when he saw the pool of blood. The blood stain was clearly the blood that only appears in corpses. Semi-dry, semi-wet, very creamy. The shadow on my heart is even greater. Stand up and say loudly, "Hurry up and get out of the hive." ”
Wren said strangely, "Sir, didn't we receive an order for us to be here to guard and wait for the follow-up troops after we got the Flame Empress's main board?"
Matthew shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There are no follow-up troops anymore...... Ready to leave!"
At this time, there was a sound of steel grinding not far away, Wren and J. Ddu walked over with a gun, and within a few steps, a man in a research coat came out of the corner dragging a hammer, followed by several "people" who were walking staggeringly.
What is Zombie?
Now Wang Zongchao really saw that a group of people walking slowly appeared around him. Most are dressed in researcher's clothing. The group of people was stiff, and the whole person was in a state of corpses, some of which were decomposed, and some of their bones were misplaced. It was as if a corpse was standing up.
J.D opened the bolt and said, "Stop! or I'll shoot!"
"Shoot! I don't think guys with half their heads are still human. Wang Zongchao helplessly said to J. D said.
J.D was stunned for a moment, and looked carefully in disbelief, only to find that they were all wearing overalls or research clothes, some of them had begun to rot, and there were "people" whose ankles were completely twisted and deformed but still walking, and even saw that one of the heads was only half left, and the gray-white brains that were exposed with each step were also swaying slightly, but still walking at a slow but determined pace.
"Bang!"
Matthew was the first to shoot at the zombies, and the zombie who led the latte was knocked out of the way, but soon, he staggered back to his feet from the ground, and he was hit by more than a dozen bullets, but he didn't even shed much blood.
"Bang!"
The Desert Eagle in Zhang Jie's hand fired, and the huge power of the Desert Eagle smashed the zombie's head at once, as if it was a watermelon explosion, and he sneered: "You guys go find the exit, and leave it to me here!"
Matthew hesitated and said loudly, "Okay, all the players stay in good formation, J." D, you go find the exit! Wren, guard the prisoner, and the rest follow me!"
Wang Zongchao looked back, Zhang Jie didn't shoot, he kept spinning on his fingers with the Desert Eagle, letting those zombies get closer and closer to him, and then, he held the pistol for a burst of fire, and the few zombies closest to him were suddenly headshot and fell to the ground, the speed and accuracy of his shooting were far beyond mortals, at least far beyond ordinary qualified soldiers!
"Is this the main god enhancement? Judging from his current appearance, that is, the level of elite special forces, it is not too bizarre, but his intuition always tells me that he seems to be hiding something. ”
Looking at the fierce battle in front of him, Wang Zongchao was thoughtful, and then Matthew suddenly turned his head and handed him a pistol and two magazines and said: "I may not be able to take care of you for a while, there are a total of fifteen bullets in one magazine, as Zhang Jie did, hit them on the head!"
"Gun?" Wang Zongchao glanced at the gun in Matthew's hand, shook his head apologetically, and said, "I've always focused on kung fu and don't know how to use a gun." ”
Matthew was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then remembered Wang Zongchao's speed and skill beyond ordinary people in the laser channel, nodded involuntarily, and then turned around and handed the gun and bullets to Zheng Zha.
Zheng Zhe raised his gun and fired, as if he didn't need to aim, but he always shot his head with one shot, which looked very powerful.
Wang Zongchao looked at him in surprise, quite surprised by his potential.
You must know that when he was still on the train, he was just an ordinary white-collar worker with a good physical and psychological element, but now as a white-collar worker who has never touched a gun before, it is really hard to believe that he can have this appearance.
"It seems that after he came out of the laser channel, he got some kind of breakthrough, which should be mental...... It seems that I really shouldn't underestimate anyone who can be chosen by the Lord God...... In terms of potential, they should all have the potential to grow strongly......"
Thinking like this, Wang Zongchao suddenly stepped forward and rushed towards those zombies.
"Oh my God, are you crazy?" Wren looked at Wang Zongchao in disbelief, even Zheng Zhe and the others also looked at Wang Zongchao in surprise, in their opinion, in the face of terrifying zombies, making such a move is no different from suicide.
Seeing a living person rushing towards him, the zombies were sluggish and stretched out their hands to Wang Zongchao, like a group of hungry ghosts grabbing blood food in hell.
"The movements are too sluggish, the reactions are too slow. If you don't count the psychological pressure brought by their terrifying appearance, they are actually less threatening than a group of hooligans who cut people with knives!"
Approaching the zombies, Wang Zongchao was even more hurried, bringing out a vague afterimage, and pounced forward, his only left hand was clenched into a fist, and he slammed it into the neck of the three zombies that were closest to him.
As soon as he threw his fist, his arm suddenly grew and trembled wildly, like a large elastic iron bar being struck, making a buzzing sound. The fist shot like a red tassel spear trembling and staggering.
Zombies only have the instinct to eat, and have no sense of self-preservation, they just mechanically stretch their hands to the "food", and they don't know how to dodge counterattacks when attacked.
With a "click", the three zombies facing Wang Zongchao broke their necks, and their bodies fell to the ground like puppets that lost power.
The three zombies fell, and a space was suddenly vacated in the corpse group, Wang Zongchao stepped forward, holding the head of a zombie on his side with his left hand, and when the zombie had not yet reacted, he used his head as a fulcrum, and rose up, his feet swept towards the heads of several zombies in front of him with a fierce wind.
There was a crackling sound of body crashing and bone shattering, and at least five or six zombies were swept out, and four of them fell to the ground with either their necks broken or their skulls shattered, and they couldn't get up again. In addition, several zombies were knocked out by them.
With this sweep, Wang Zongchao's body turned at least one hundred and eighty degrees, and only then did he let go of the zombie head that he used as a fulcrum, and the zombie head was also turned one hundred and eighty degrees by him, and suddenly looked back, and suddenly fell to the ground.
With this momentary blow, eight zombies in the corpse group have since become real corpses, and another four or five zombies have been knocked away, and the corpse group has suddenly become chaotic.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the corpse group, Wang Zongchao bowed down, like a tiger preying on a tiger, an eagle catching a rabbit, and his figure suddenly disappeared into the corpse group.
Just when Wang Zongchao rushed out, everyone stopped shooting to avoid accidental injury, and at this time, they were even more stunned to see the zombies who were in chaos and kept falling down due to broken cervical vertebrae under Wang Zongchao's ghostly blow.
The dense group of zombies was quickly emptied, and the zombies that came out scattered were not Wang Zongchao's opponents, and three minutes later, except for the zombies that fell to the ground, there were no standing zombies in sight.
At this time, Wang Zongchao carried a petite female zombie in his left arm and walked back to everyone, the female zombie was held by him like a kitten, and dragged face down, although he kept struggling, but to no avail.
Everyone looked at him like a monster, and there was more fear and awe in their eyes.
At this time, Wang Zongchao not only did not add any wounds all over his body, but even his clothes were barely splashed with any zombie blood, which was the result of his deliberate avoidance in order to prevent infection with the virus. At this time, if he ignores the female zombie he is carrying, he is an ordinary white-collar person.
Guan Gong doesn't open his eyes, he wants to kill when he opens his eyes. A martial artist like Wang Zongchao, who has reached the realm of being able to hide his essence and qi, is usually like a sharp sword in the sheath, and he doesn't show the slightest edge! But when it really comes to make a move, the ferocity of his hands is like the Shura demon in hell, which is enough to make children stop crying at night and scare people stupid.
When it is not time to fight to the death, you will never be able to see the demonic horror side of a martial artist of this level!
Wang Zongchao shook his head and said, "Don't be frightened by these zombies, in fact, except for their terrifying appearance, they are not even as good as a group of little hooligans who are willing to work hard!"
They are unresponsive, unrelievable, and staggering when they walk, so as long as they are careful not to get caught and surrounded by them, there is nothing to worry about.
Moreover, when attacking them, I noticed that they had completely lost the self-preservation instinct that a creature should have, and no matter how slow an ordinary person was to see something flying towards his eyes, he would definitely blink to protect himself, but they lost even this consciousness. That is, any blow you give them, they won't dodge the damage in the slightest!
In addition, they don't really want to attack us, their actions are not so much attacking as fighting for food, they don't hit with their fists or kicks, the only action is to grab, tear, bite!"
At this time, everyone was relieved from the thrill of hand-to-hand combat between human corpses, Matthew patted Wang Zongchao's shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "At this time, I fully realized that it was right to bring you, it seems that even if you are alone, you can solve all the zombies here!"
But then he looked terrible: "You really didn't know that there were zombies before?"
"I'm in the company, and if I say it's good, I'm a martial arts coach, and if it's ugly, I'm a high-level fighter, what reason do you think the company has for people like me who have nothing to do with scientific research to know this?" Wang Zongchao looked at the expression of an idiot.
"I used to belong to the company's support staff, and I only knew that the researchers were working on a project to resurrect the dead. Zheng Zhe also knew that completely deducing that he didn't know would arouse the other party's suspicion even more, so he interjected at the right time.
It is also true of large enterprises, except for senior leaders, everyone only knows a small part of their responsibility, and they only need to do that part well, and they don't know anything else, especially when the company is engaged in something unspeakable.
Matthew slammed his fist into the wall, only to feel the anger in his chest about to burst out, the scene of the laser tunnel just now had already made it clear to him that the employer actually intended to make them cannon fodder, but it was nothing, this kind of thing had happened countless times in his senior mercenary career. Those of them who work hard for others can only get commissions if they are strong enough, and they are cannon fodder if they are not enough.
But now the appearance of zombies has completely demonstrated how unspeakable it is in this filthy research center, and this terrifying biochemical weapon can completely destroy the world as long as it spreads. And in order to hide this secret, the employer made it clear that he had no intention of letting them out alive at all.
"These damn Thomas, I'm going to get the gun in their assholes when I get out!" Matthew's eyes were red and he cursed viciously.
