Chapter 32: Moxie's Shallow Grave

"The host ......"

"It's ......"

The old Shanghai has completely changed, and the whole city has become a fire, a city of fire. The ash that fell from the cloud of collapsed particles was stained with orange lines, like ashes burning inside. The reaction of the collapsed particles quickly spread, and the ashes covered the entire city, and the whole city of Shanghai was engulfed in a sea of fire.

When Patrick and G41 stepped out of the building and saw this scene, they couldn't help but stop and watch. The sight of the apocalypse was chilling, and if they hadn't seen enough of the oddities, they would have fled in panic.

The previous attackers rolled and struggled on the ground, their wails of pain turning to beastly screams, ominous sounds coming from sewers and abandoned buildings. One of the attackers fell from the roof of an abandoned house, causing his skin muscles to dissolve and turn into a translucent purple jelly-like shape.

"Hmm! Symptoms of acute ED infection!" G41 said, gun raised.

"Don't be nervous......" Patrick said.

He looked at the values on the heads-up display, and the collapse particle concentration index continued to rise, enough to erode away the organic matter it came into contact with in an instant. The attacker, lying on the ground, lifted his masked face and seemed to see them through the cracked mask, letting out a high-pitched scream. Many ED infected people poured out from all corners and surrounded them.

"What's going on, madness?" Patrick was also ready to fight, "The AED system should have blocked our breath, why are these ED infected people still able to detect us?"

"It's not clear, under normal circumstances, ED infected people can only find targets by the recognition characteristics of collapsed particles, and it is precisely this that AED systems take advantage of to release similar signals of collapsed particles to the surroundings to cover our whereabouts. The frenzy expressed the same confusion, "But these infected ...... It's like being able to see us. ”

"You're saying that these ED infected people have five senses?"

"There is this possibility, and I think the only way to figure it out is to go to the ruins of Beilan Island. ”

There really was no other way, Patrick thought, all the reasons came from the island of North Land, and he had to go there to find out.

"Master!"

Patrick hears G41's alertness, looks around, and catches a glimpse of an infected person flying towards him from behind. He immediately turned and pushed the infected away with his knee, then raised his pistol and smashed it in two.

After the first infected died, the other infected howled as if they were mad, and rushed at them one after another.

"It's on, G41. ”

"Yes!"

The G41 swept through the infected with its rifle and intercepted many of the enemies who rushed blindly at it, while the fish that slipped through the net were quickly dealt with by Patrick at close quarters. He pinned the infected's muscles with his Hidden Blade, then pulled the trigger and shot them in the head. Purple mucus spilled on the ground, and the infected still fearlessly pounced on them.

After all, the ED infected are still walking corpses with little intelligence, and after a fierce battle, they all fall and turn into a puddle of mud.

Patrick wiped a handful of the liquid that had splashed on his face.

"Are you alright?" he asked G41.

"It's just these purple slime......"

"Just bear with me. Patrick was also covered in it, "All in all, before more ED infected people come, let's get out of here and go to North Land." ”

With that, Patrick seemed to hear an echo from the sewers.

Since there was no need to cooperate with the investigation team now, they could go straight to North Land. Patrick took out the collapsed teleporter, and due to the unstable environment of the collapsed particles on Beilan Island, he had to set the teleportation coordinates at the port of Shanghai. In just a few seconds, they were on the waterfront of Shanghai.

Their location is relatively remote, with a good view and a direct view of Beilan Island. The bridge connecting Beilan Island has long since collapsed, and there is no shadow of a ship on the water.

Patrick heard heavy gunfire, and it seemed that another fierce battle was ahead.

The harbor has been refurbished by Luo Lian, and it is clear that the garrison here is engaged in a battle with the ED infected. They came down from a high place, turned behind a container, and saw the two sides that were in full swing.

The Luo Lian troops stationed there used a pile of debris to build a defensive line, and the war zone in front of the defense line was already a mess, and there were scorched black traces everywhere. Several machine guns in the defensive line were frantically pouring bullets, the barrels were overheated and red, and still did not stop firing.

I'm afraid they're running out of rockets and grenades, Patrick thought, and the Luo Lian forces here are just the end of the crossbows, so they might as well make use of them one last time.

The infected attacked several times, and wave after wave fell in front of the defensive line, and more and more infected people died. The semi-gelatinous liquid of the corpse after lying down mixed together and underwent an anomaly. As the fluid flowed, the metalized bones and strong muscles joined together to form a four-legged beast that stood up. The beast had several human heads, all twisted and huddled where they were supposed to be. Finally, the purple skin hardens into chitin, enough to block most bullets. However, even if the bullet penetrates the chitin, it does not have any effect on the beast.

Such an uncanny anomaly would not normally be possible, and it has never been documented. What the specific reason, Patrick didn't think much about it, he believed that he could find it after entering the ruins of Beilan Island, and for now he only needed to know that these beasts were quite dangerous.

After four or five fierce beasts took shape, the defense line of the Luo Lian garrison collapsed as he expected. The beast pounced on the heavy, opened several mouths, and fought with itself to devour the living.

"It's disgusting......"

"This way. ”

The new offensive of the ED infected, the Luo Lian garrison was quickly defeated by ineffective attacks and fear, and the soldiers who had abandoned the defensive line fled in all directions, while the infected pursued the prey instinctively. For them, it's a rare delicacy.

Patrick and the G41 took the opportunity to infiltrate the harbor and cautiously pass through the sight of the infected and the Luo Lian soldiers. Two Luo Lian soldiers were about to board a speedboat when G41 shot them dead and seized the vehicle bound for Beilan Island.

Patrick was walking towards the speedboat when he suddenly felt a vibration on the ground. He jerked around, spotted the beast coming at him, and raised his left arm to block it. The beast overwhelmed him, its head shrunk into a cluster and roared, and several mouths bit down on his mechanical arm with such force that it even snapped its own teeth.

As mucus continued to drip from his wailing mouth, Patrick pushed the beast down from below, overturned it, and shot the head that bit his arm, and the roof of his jaw was missing. Patrick, who escaped, quickly pulled out an explosive, stuffed it into the beast's mouth, pulled the G41 to board the speedboat, and immediately started offshore.

The beast rolled over, and they had already run away. Patrick detonates the explosives, and the beast disappears into the smoke.

Patrick breathed a sigh of relief.

The strait between Shanghai and Beilan Island was rendered into a lava river by ashes, and the breath of artillery fire rose above Beilan Island.

Even with the filter on, Patrick could smell condensation in the air.

No one knows what will happen when they land on the island.
