Chapter 23: The City
Starshower's fears did not come true, on the contrary, they were quite lucky.
Not only did I not encounter any mutant crocodiles, but because of the mutant crocodiles, the journey was much smoother. Because a large number of ordinary zombies were shocked and fled by the mutant crocodiles, they didn't even encounter many zombies along the way, and the zombies they encountered were easily disposed of by the pulse gun. It is not a threat to the car in the slightest.
The first part of the road was remarkably smooth.
It wasn't until he began to encounter zombies frequently that He Li began to realize that they had left the area where the mutant crocodiles were active.
Although their actions were much smoother because of the mutant crocodile, she still felt relieved to leave the range of the mutant crocodile. The threat of the mutant crocodile is invisible, and if you are unlucky, you will be completely unlucky, as long as the giant mutant crocodile is lured, they have a few lives that are not enough to fill the angry big guy.
Although there are many troubles caused by coming to the area where zombies are active, it is undoubtedly much better than the deadly threat of mutant crocodiles. The threat of zombies is only a nuisance for the three people, and it definitely cannot constitute a "threat". With a little effort, the three of them can deal with even a horde of zombies.
"That's it again." Xingyu reluctantly stopped the car, looked at the dense zombies on the corner of the street in front of him, and said, "Sister, silently, ready to start fighting!" ”
Around the corner, a group of zombies were distracted by the vehicle and began to roar towards the area.
The roar attracted more zombies, and soon, a horde of hundreds of zombies formed, walking towards the place with a rancid smell and roar.
The zombie horde is like an unstoppable tide of decay, which is enough to arouse anyone's sense of fear, and looking at this dense zombie horde, you will have the urge to escape.
Along the way, the trio have already encountered this situation more than once. A large number of zombies blocked the intersection and had to be swept up to get through.
In this case, three people need to start cleaning up the zombies, although the pulse gun is good, but the rate of fire is still relatively slow, it's okay to deal with scattered zombies, but to deal with the zombie hordes like a tide?
I'm afraid that only a dozen zombies have been killed, and a zombie horde of hundreds of zombies can already come to your eyes and swallow everything, right?
As for the biochemical grenades, that thing is indeed very useful, but the actual number of biochemical grenades is not very large, and it is too wasteful to use them on these ordinary zombies.
So, I had to bother them to do it themselves!
He Li is actually not very disgusted with this kind of thing, and this kind of battle is actually also a process of training.
Just as an average person gains a stronger physique by exercising, abilities become more powerful and easier to control when exercised.
The method of exercising the ability is to use, use it constantly, use it in different ways, so that the ability will become stronger unconsciously. Of course, this method of becoming stronger is the same as ordinary people doing exercises to enhance their physique, it is a long-term process, and it is still difficult to feel in a short period of time.
"Phew!" Xingyu's figure flashed, holding a blade as thin as a cicada's wings, and shaved off the heads of two roaring zombies at a rapid speed, and the zombies who lost their heads fell forward by inertia, and their rotting heads bounced twice on the ground, still making a disgusting roar.
Xingyu did not stop at all, stepping on the dirty blood on the ground, and continued to rush forward. The ice reflected a brilliant cold glow, making him look like a dreamy whirlwind among the zombies. Ice Blades, Ice Guns, Ice Hammers...... The ice cube conjured up all kinds of weapons in his hands, sweeping down one zombie after another.
Despite this, Xingyu's speed of clearing zombies was much slower than that of Chen Mo and He Li.
Chen Mo stood there, her head slightly bowed, surrounded by wisps of wind, curling up her long bangs, revealing a face that seemed to have no expression.
The roaring zombies were made of mud in front of her.
Chen Mo just waved his hand and threw out several wind blades that were as clear as diamonds.
The Wind Blade easily splits through the rotting corpses of the zombies, bringing out a mass of filthy flesh and blood.
Chen Mo is like a melancholy conductor, directing a concert of death.
Every time she waved her hand, swaths of zombies would be sliced into pieces by the Wind Blade.
If Xingyu is like an elegant dancer, Chen Mo is a melancholy conductor. Then, He Li's style is completely different from the two. If you really want to describe it, it's only a tyrant.
Yes, tyrant.
Flame is inherently a tyrannical attribute. He Li gave full play to it again, and at this time, it was difficult to associate her with the calm girl she usually had.
He Li was like the queen of the flames, swaying out pieces of flames, and the zombies swept by the flames were either directly blown to pieces by the explosive flames, or burned to ashes by the high-temperature flames in a few seconds, and in the process, He Li didn't even get his clothes dirty.
Hundreds of zombies fell to the ground under the slaughter of the three people.
He Li and Chen Mo even had clean clothes, and none of the zombies could get close to them from beginning to end. Only Xingyu, who rushed to fight in the zombie pile, stained his clothes, but he was not injured.
"Xiaoyu, you go and deal with it." He Li looked at Xingyu's appearance and wanted to laugh a little, and said, "Let's take a break and then hit the road!" ”
"Hmm." Xingyu nodded obediently and went around to a corner.
He Li wasn't worried about him, she knew that even if a mutated zombie popped out of that corner, it would definitely not be Xingyu's opponent.
After a little trimming, He Li and his party continued on the road.
He Li looked out the window boredly.
It's been three days.
Because they had to get out of the car from time to time to search for supplies or clear the road or zombies, the group did not move forward quickly, and the original half-day drive also took three days to get there, of course, this is still faster than them walking.
In the past three days, He Li has not found any signs of other people or other survivor bases, only a large number of zombies roaming around the city.
The city seems to be completely dilapidated, and it is up to them to come down and clean up after they find corpses and cars blocking the way.
The whole city seemed to be dead, and apart from the zombies, it seemed that they were the only ones left in the city.
Fortunately, there seems to be only one place where powerful mutant zombies appear in Longxing, although there are mutant zombies in other places, they are all relatively weak, and most of them are not as good as creepers, not to mention biochemical creatures at the level of mutant crocodiles and giant mutant crocodiles. The mutant crocodile, it seems, was just an accident.
Before you know it, the surrounding scene has changed from the dilapidated houses of the city to the wilderness, and the road surface has changed to a decent highway instead of a concrete road strewn with garbage and stones.
It's already in the suburbs, He Li thought.
According to government broadcasts, the survivor base is set up in the suburbs, and when you get to the suburbs, it is much faster to go to the survivor base.
He Li glanced back at the ruined city.
The city is still the way it is, the overall framework has not been destroyed, and it seems that nothing has happened, but He Li can feel that there is a lifeless atmosphere there.
Maybe never again! He Li bit his lip.
