Chapter 25 (II) The Danger of Zombies
Approaching the edge of Alanya City, everyone realized that the war was even worse than expected - there were no more intact buildings to be seen on the outskirts of the city, most of the buildings had either collapsed or collapsed by at least two-thirds, not to mention corpses everywhere, there were many craters from howitzers, and even one or two helicopters that crashed directly into the buildings and continued to burn after the explosion.
While everyone was observing where the best way to enter, a few mortar shells landed outside the house in the distance, and everyone immediately scattered to find cover.
"That's a test shot! Don't move, everybody! The target shouldn't be us, there must be someone in that house! Tian Yehan leaned against the back of a stone pier and looked out, and then six mortar shells landed on the outside of the building and closer to the collapse of the second floor.
Among the shells that exploded, there were obviously a few more powerful, directly blasting two large holes in the cement wall on one side, shaking the ground where Tang Shuxing and the others were trembling.
"120 heavy mortars!" Andrew shouted to the people around him, "But it doesn't look like much!" Don't go yet, find out their observers! ”
"Look over there!" Ji Kefeng pointed to a hole that had been blown up, where a man with an AWSM sniper rifle appeared, turned over from there, and then dragged out another of his companions, carrying him in the direction of Tang Shuxing and the others.
"These two snipers were discovered before they had time to change positions, and the other party directly called for artillery support, without any ambiguity." Tian Yehan shook his head, "This kind of place." If you don't have a fixed target to hunt, you can only pick the important ones. ”
As soon as he spoke, another round of mortars came, this time the luck of the two was not so good, when the second mortar shell fell and exploded, the shock wave with the gravel directly overturned the two, and after the two rolled several times, one lay on his stomach and the other was motionless. Then I saw blood flowing from under the bodies of both of them.
Tian Yehan shook his head. looked at Ji Kefeng: "Master Ji, there must be an observer, otherwise it would be impossible to blow it up so accurately, find out the observer." ”
Ji Kefeng sensed a circle around him. Shaking his head, he said, "There are a lot of people around." I don't know who is the observer. In the building that the two of them had drilled out of before, there were still 4 living people. ”
"Wait, don't move!" Tian Yehan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stay put. Because from here, there is still a distance of 100 meters from the building complex in front of it, where there is a strong bunker, a distance of 100 meters, maybe Tang Shuxing can dodge it, but they definitely can't dodge, and it is too dense to run over, and a round of shelling can be a pot.
The sound of gunfire and artillery fire in the city continued, but the place where the people were was calm and strangely quiet.
At this time, Tang Shuxing remembered something, and whispered to Ji Kefeng on the side: "Master Ji, you said earlier that there are many people around, how many are there?" Can you perceive it clearly? ”
"Wait, I'll do the math." Ji Kefeng lowered his head, closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings, since he became an implanter, he has been counting his abilities, although the speed and strength on land have not increased, but the speed under water has increased, and it is quite flexible, and the other is the enhancement of perception ability.
However, along the way, Ji Kefeng also found that his perception ability is at different distances in different environments, on the plain without obstacles, his perception ability can reach at least 500 meters, and in the cave, it is about a few tens of meters is the limit, but he has no way to calculate the specific tens of meters. And right now, in the city, perhaps because of the large number of buildings and the influence of gunfire and artillery from the outside, the farthest distance of one's perception is only 150 meters, and it can't be farther.
At the same time, Ji Kefeng also found that he did not have a strong perception of the creatures in the cement cast-in-place structure building, large animals could still perceive it, but smaller creatures could not perceive it, and animals such as mice could not perceive it even if they were ten meters away from the plain, and of course, the most troublesome point was that he could never perceive insects and cold-blooded animals.
"65!" Ji Kefeng opened his eyes, sweating profusely, he almost sensed them one by one, and at the same time, he also found that it was very energy-consuming to perceive too carefully.
Tang Shuxing looked at Ji Kefeng, whose face was a little pale, and nodded, "Is it accurate?" ”
"Even if there is a deviation, there are no two mistakes before and after." Ji Kefeng also nodded.
"No, Master Ji, what you perceive may not be the breath of these creatures." Tang Shuxing touched his lips and analyzed, "In the volcano before, those Jin Cheng carried were obviously pure walking corpses, walking corpses are different from corpses, the former is a dead thing, the latter is a living thing, you can sense the dead thing, but the dead thing has no breath, can't breathe, so what are you relying on?" ”
"Heartbeat?" Tian Yehan took over on the side.
"It's not." Tang Shuxing shook his head, "There is no heartbeat that comes from where to breathe." ”
Ji Kefeng himself perceived it again, because in his perception environment, he seemed to be clairvoyant, and he could instantly see dark red lights and shadows in the distance, as if he was seeing, but it seemed to be feeling, very vague, so when he calculated clearly, he would feel exhausted and very tired.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Hawke finally couldn't help but interject and ask Tang Shuxing.
Tang Shuxing looked at the building in the distance slightly: "I think that maybe those things in the building are not pure people, but people who have not completely turned into walking corpses, these people seem to be dead, so those two snipers didn't find out." ”
"The Walking Dead?" Andrew closed his eyes, "Honestly, that's the last thing I want to encounter. ”
"Hey, we're in big trouble right now." Gu Huaiyi, who had not spoken, said, he leaned on an abandoned car and looked at the others, "The group of things that Jin Cheng carried before are also walking corpses, called Moon Killing, which is a kind of walking corpse that can only act at night, belonging to stealth assassins, and the assassination methods are first-class, but they will evaporate clean when exposed to sunlight during the day." ”
As soon as Gu Huaiyi said this, the others immediately looked up at the sky. The sun is almost setting, and if the walking corpses in the building are daywalking, then they are saved, and when the night comes, they can move, because the daywalking corpses can only hide at night, and without daylight they are like robots that have lost their energy.
But if it is a moon killing, as soon as the sun sets, they will either move forward or hide here and not move. It's all dead.
Tang Shuxing was very aware of the ability of the moon to kill. Even if their speed and strength are higher than theirs, their advantage is that they can hide their aura, and even if they cooperate with Ji Ye, they can only keep two or three people. The rest are also dead.
"We don't have weapons either." Hawke shook his head. "A pistol for each person. and an assault rifle with a few rounds left, and the rest are all cold weapons. ”
The dragon blade, the Yin Bee, and Gu Huaiyi's remaining daggers were the most effective weapons against the walking corpses today, but they were not close to the living. Otherwise it's the same as not having weapons.
"The sun is about to set, let's make a decision about whether to enter the city or leave." Gu Huaiyi looked up at the sky, "Why don't we vote?" ”
"There's no need to vote, something is out." Ji Kefeng, who closed his eyes and sensed the surroundings, opened his eyes, slowly probed out, and looked at the building in the distance, at this time, three gray-skinned people jumped out of the gap in the building, their arms were raised and stretched forward, their legs were together, and they moved forward by jumping, and immediately after leaving the building, they transformed into a triangular formation, facing the direction of Tang Shuxing and the others, staring at the corpse of the sniper killed by the mortar in the distance.
"What's that?" Hawke took a deep breath, knowing that those three things were definitely not human, but they were not like the kind of walking corpses that appeared in Khanga Province, they were actually jumping and walking, and every time they jumped one or two steps, they would turn their heads and sniff with very exaggerated movements.
"This joke is too big, isn't it?" Tang Shuxing stared at those three things, and then looked at Ji Kefeng, Tian Yehan and Gu Huaiyi respectively, Hawke and Andrew didn't know what that thing was probably normal, but as Chinese, they couldn't not know about Dao, then they were Chinese specialties, authentic zombies!
"Master Ji, is that true?" Tang Shuxing was a little reluctant to believe it.
"I don't know what to do." Ji Kefeng shook his head with a bitter face, "What I perceive is indeed these things, but I can't distinguish their types. ”
"They're getting closer to us." Tian Yehan saw that the three zombies jumped towards the two corpses, maintaining a distance of one and a half meters at a time, although they had never seen what the real zombies looked like, but from the current point of view, it was unlikely that they were pretending to be people.
Ji Kefeng raised his gun and aimed at the head of one of the zombies, although he also knew that this kind of thing could not be killed with bullets, but he could always be prevented, but Tang Shuxing saw him pick up the gun and immediately motioned for him to put it down, and at the same time said: "Prick up your ears and listen to whether there are observers around who report the coordinates, that guy may call for artillery fire to attack these three monsters!" ”
But unexpectedly, until the three zombies jumped in front of the two corpses, the mortar shells that Tang Shuxing was looking forward to did not fall.
"Damn it, why don't you fry them? So what is the observer hand doing? Tang Shuxing looked around, not daring to raise his head, as soon as he finished saying this, the three zombies suddenly turned their heads to look in the direction of Tang Shuxing, and Gu Huaiyi immediately shrank and rolled to his side, covering his mouth and nose, and signaling him not to be angry.
Seeing Gu Huaiyi's movements, Ji Kefeng suddenly remembered that these primitive zombies could really sense the breath of the nearby living creatures, so he immediately covered his mouth and nose, and motioned for others to do the same.
Although Hawke and Andrew didn't know why, they still immediately covered their mouths and noses, but when they did, they didn't hold their breath, but continued to breathe after covering them, and when the faint breath came out of their fingers, the three zombies jumped quickly towards the location of the two.
it! Oops! These two don't understand! Tang Shuxing gave Gu Huaiyi a look, and then pointed to the assault rifle in Ji Kefeng's hand, signaling the three of them to find a way to restrain one by one first, and if they couldn't control it, they had to lure them away from Andrew and Hawke first.
The three zombies jumped to the concrete pier of Andrew and Hawke, each stood on one side, surrounded the two, and slowly lowered their heads to look at them, while the two who were surrounded did not understand why they would be discovered, but just clenched their pistols and let go of their hands to prepare for a preemptive strike.
"Do it!" Tang Shuxing opened his nose, pulled out the dragon blade and stabbed it towards one of the zombies, and shouted to the two of them, "Run-" (to be continued......
