Chapter 162: Leopard 7
At 3:24 a.m. on December 25, 2024, the survivors' convoy climbed the uneven remote path with the headlights on, cautiously walking through the dark night with no fingers out of sight, listening to their heavy breathing and nervous heartbeat, feeling the life that is still alive at this moment, and longing for the faint hope ahead.
Yun Mo sat on the roof of the Wuling car steadily, projecting his unwavering eyes into the dense branches behind him, and quietly watching the dark back road through the half-open and half-closed gap. The branches closed tightly again after the vehicle had passed, but the messy rut marks could not be hidden, and her mental strength was no longer enough to bury these traces, so ...... That's all it can be.
Her keen five senses were adjusted to the maximum in the cold night, probably because of the lack of mental power, so that the eardrums agitated and emitted an intermittent buzz, but this did not affect her recognition of subtle sounds, and even, after eliminating the humming sound, the rest of the trivial sounds became extremely clear.
At a distance of seven kilometers from the convoy, a dozen crawlers who had taken a shortcut sniffed the scent of the survivors' convoy and pursued at full speed to a small river about four meters wide, and they circled the river several times in a restless manner, as if wondering why the breath of their prey was suddenly gone.
"Roar...... "The largest creeper roared lowly, spreading a special signal to its surrounding kind, similar to the powerful suppression from the virus, causing the surrounding creepers who wanted to retreat to surround the past.
It leaped first, jumping easily from one end of the river to the other, and as it moved, the creepers wandering on the bank chased after it, as if they were the guardians of the leader, and followed its footsteps along the shallow rut marks along the scent of the explosion.
The union of creepers is only for one purpose╠╠ raw flesh, blood food. Different from the unity of human beings who need to be blessed with complex factors such as emotions, for zombies, the combination of interests under the guidance of strength is more suitable for their survival state. The outbreak of the zombie tide stems from this concept.
The creeper's full-speed pursuit is very rapid. It was a Ferrari that was as fast as a Ferrari flying down the highway, and even if the path chosen by the survivors was full of interlaced branches and muddy potholes, it could not stop them from being paranoid about flesh.
"It's coming......" Yun Moyan's red and full lips opened, and he spit out a few words like a sigh. Letting the cold night breeze blow ruffled her shiny hair, clouding her eyes that suddenly became fierce, "So fast, it seems that I can't wait for dawn."
Waiting for dawn meant that they had to face a late-night battlefield where the danger factor had risen by an unknown number of points, which was nothing to her, no matter what situation she was in, as long as there were no T5-level zombies or a large number of mature aliens, her means were enough to keep her alive.
But this won't work for survivors and early awakened Adepts, a second-order creeper. It is completely different from ordinary types of zombies and first-order bodies in the brain that have just produced crystal nuclei. Strength, speed, bite force, defense, attack, each of these is enough to kill the humans behind her in an instant, even if they are armed with hot weapons, they may not be able to survive.
What's more, the Ticket Adepts in the convoy who are mutating, their flesh and blood are a rare meal for creepers. If it's a few creepers. She could have let the convoy move forward and stay behind herself, but the reality was that the pursuing army was not as simple as she imagined.
Yun Mo felt like a stupid fork fishing for man-eating sharks in the deep sea with a piece of fresh meat, and if he was not careful, he would face capsizing.
It's only seven kilometers away, and you can't stop them for long. Looks like she's going to have to prepare. Since fighting is inevitable, then there is as much as you can kill the count.
Yun Mo got up suddenly, his calf flexibly hooked a thick dead branch on his head, and fell down like playing with horizontal bar. The inherent tenacity of the withered branch acted on her, throwing her whole head upwards like a monkey. High-speed somersaults, treading branches, stagnation, and jumping, as the feline of the king of the jungle, each of Yun Mo's movements naturally exudes flamboyant wildness and unique elegance.
She pulled out several bags of plasma from the void. A slight fingernail scratch breaks open the plastic bag with a strong outer packaging. Thick blood immediately poured out from the cracks, and before it could reach the edge of the passing vehicle, it was thrown onto the branches of the trees in an instant.
Everyone in the team didn't know about Yun Mo's secret operation, and they probably wouldn't make any strange expressions if they knew, so the team stumbled forward, but they didn't want an important teammate to have left the team unconsciously.
Yun Mo quickly fished out a dozen mines from the void, took out her usual throwing knife stunt and threw them one by one at the soft soil below, and sprinkled blood while ambushing, she didn't believe that such a strong smell of blood could not attract creepers with developed limbs and simple minds.
The mines produced by the "Black Rose" are very small and delicate, and these mines of the highest quality look like a beautiful work of art. The dark green skin is tattooed with magnificent colors, and if you are not specialized in thermal weapons, you will not really see that this is a very lethal mine, but will only use it as a decorative ball.
Concealing the blood-colored killing intent under a harmless appearance, the "Black Rose" organization is really special in terms of the concept of weapon manufacturing.
After making the first trap and using up thirty mines to lay a killing array, Yun Mo had no idea of stopping. The first wave of creepers will be followed by a second group of zombies attracted by the flesh of the same kind that have died. It's not uncommon to be able to devour the corpses of high-ranking kinders. [,! ], I believe that you will catch a lot of gluttonous people.
A chain of thirty mines would collapse the area, or even a woodland fire, and all she needed was a defensive line of powerful flames. Although I can't stop those guys for long, I can buy a little time, and maybe I can really get a few thick-skinned creepers to be burned to ashes, and that's really earning.
"Sonorous!"
Tang knife in the night slashed a cold light, slashed at the rotten tall dead wood around, only one knife cut off the thick branches, a terrible "squeak" sound in the dead forest, as if the coffin that had been silent for a hundred years opened the dusty cover, revealing the rotten bones inside, without a trace of murder.
Yun Mo wandered horizontally through the dense woods, and in a short time created a rough line of defense. As if worried that the fire was not big enough, she slowly fished out a few heavy barrels of gasoline from the void and poured them on them unceremoniously.
The pungent smell of gasoline mixed with the blood in it, fused into a strange fishy stench, which was disgusting to humans and was not something difficult to swallow in the eyes of zombies who already fed on carrion.
Enjoy, the taste of burning yourself.
Yun Mo took one last look at the location of the trap, and then immediately turned around and shuttled through the forest, chasing the convoy in front of him with all his might.
Within a dozen minutes of her departure, the first creepers to arrive at the area followed the smell of blood and landed in the surrounding woods filled with the smell of fresh blood.
As Yun Mo expected, in the face of short-term benefits, zombies, carnivorous dark creatures, tend to forget their long-term goals, not to mention that the smell of blood in the forest is strong enough, and this weight is heavy, which does make the creeper temporarily ignore the pursuit of the convoy.
In other words, in their eyes, humans are prey ants that cannot escape the palm of their hands, and they can catch up and eat them at any time, and now, they can just enjoy the ready-made food.
Superficially prompting them to lick the gasoline and blood from the messy branches, before they know it, they step by step into the trap full of mines, but they are unaware of the danger they are in.
"Boom, boom, boom"
A roar of shaking mountains rang out into the sky, and the air waves rushed out from the depths of the forest to the outside world frantically, instantly crushing countless trees, and the dry winter climate caused the tragedy of the withered yellow branches burning a little bit, so that in just a few seconds, a huge fire dragon rolled towards the sky with billowing black smoke, and the deep sea of fire roared fiercely one after another, and finally all returned to nothingness.
"That's ......" Tian Hongyi looked at the forest fire in the rear that was really not far away from them, and stepped on the accelerator to increase his strength, "Could it be that those things ...... Creepers? Caught up?"
"Probably yes, otherwise, she wouldn't have made such a big move." Tian Hongyue looked behind him, rubbing a sharp dagger with affection, but his tone was very heavy, "Yun Mo, that guy, be bold. His whereabouts were completely exposed, and he wounded 1,000 enemies and lost 800 ...... But then again, it seems like this is a more reliable method......"
Moreover, at such a close distance, if they followed what Yun Mo had given them before, they would probably not be able to escape being caught up by the creepers.
"Hongyi." Tian Hongyue's voice was very cold, as if he had made some serious decision, "When the time comes, you will protect your parents and hide in the car, and I will go to the battlefield."
"!" Tian Hongyi immediately objected to his brother's naïve approach, "I don't care, I want to go with you, I also have combat experience, don't look down on me too much."
Tian Hongyue pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled stiffly, and decided to knock his younger brother out of the traffic jam later, the two boys in their family, they have to leave one for the second elder to send him to the end. The intuition told him that a vicious battle was inevitable, and that it was late at night......
As an adult man, he has to take on the responsibility and obligation of guarding the convoy, and it is enough for him to go in the battle of life and death, and his younger brother or something just needs to live under Yun Mo's wings with peace of mind.
Well, he's just an ordinary older brother.

Ming'er is a big battle, quack~~~
