Chapter 55: Forty-Nine Seconds

"What's the matter, Captain Wang, what are you misunderstanding?" Wen Cheng raised his hand and smiled.

"Answer me, Mr. Gu!" The muzzle of the gun was pushed harder.

From a distance, it was just a female police officer holding a gun at a young male policeman, but the male policeman was not angry at all.

As the only two living humans in the Yuantuo Building case, Wen Cheng and Liu Zhen only served as eyewitnesses to each other, and Liu Zhen even compressed the impact of the incident into a three-day grounding in the name of the guardian, and the female police officer who lost two pillars of life was obviously extremely angry about this.

If it's out of hatred of power, it's fine, but in front of him is clearly a young man who can't distinguish between good and evil.

"I have a hunch that you won't shoot."

The female police officer didn't answer, still staring at him, letting the buzzing drone fly higher and higher.

"Words can't answer you, it's up to me to act, if I don't like you in any way, it's not too late to take my life."

The female police officer glared at him and took the gun, and suddenly heard a "bang" on his head, and the drone was pierced by several intertwined fires.

Wen Cheng raised his head and frowned, it seemed that he had not seen the true face of the Heroic Spirit before he was recognized by the armory dog.

If you take off from a farther away, you will only have a lot of twists and turns, and calling a helicopter will only cost a few lives in vain.

"The drone was shot down, Mr. Gu, please give the order." The female police officer stood solemnly with a cold look in her eyes, and the pistol was already in the sleeve.

"There are a large number of enemies in the building, just block the exit without alerting them," Wen Cheng paused and pointed to the riverbank and the crowd. "Let's go to the East Coast."

Following the female police officers through the busy crowd of uniforms and the noise of walkie-talkies, surrounded by the appearance of being ready to take the fortress, several swarthy men in orange uniforms stood by a dozen pumping machines.

"Su Meng, say it." Wen Cheng handed over the order.

"Okay," Su Meng's voice fell in the headphones, and he exhaled twice more on the walkie-talkie, "Action, start."

There was a violent tremor under the feet, the two gates in the north and south of the river slowly lowered, more than a dozen pumping machines roared, the water flow was led to the gate through the pipe, the first to come out was the bubbling clear stream, and the muddy water appeared in a short time, and the sound of the machine became frustrated.

Dozens of outward currents of water resembled huge spiders, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Four columns of military planes swept over the sky, looking down on the scenery coldly like eagles.

After about 30 minutes, the river channel has been drained and has become a huge riverbed about seven or eight meters wide and about 100 meters long.

"Empty?" The female police officer asked.

Wen Cheng frowned and was silent.

The riverbed was empty, with only black mud covering the bottom and all kinds of garbage, rain boots, tires, woven bags of various qualities, shredded canvas, skulls of cats and dogs, beer bottles, etc., which were colorfully dotted on the black mud.

Wen Cheng looked at the five or six sewers on the opposite bank and said, "These sewers are all two people wide, send someone to check them."

The female police officer sighed, the provincial police force has always taken on serious cases across cities and even provinces, this kind of dirty work dealing with sewers has obviously never been seen, but who calls himself to take this case? Before leaving, the director of the hall specially talked to her, and he must lower his figure, and he must not mention the Yuantuo Building case, so he has to bite the bullet now.

"Three groups, five groups, go to the sewer mouth, and two groups are on guard on the shore." The female police officer took the walkie-talkie and said this.

More than 20 police officers climbed down the river to guard the march, their shoes and police pants were blackened by the sludge, and a few young police officers covered their noses with their arms around to test around.

"Whew! ————" The intercom of the crowd came with the screeching sound of snowflakes.

"Come on! Struggle!" The voice of neither man nor woman came from the walkie-talkie, like a demon covering his mouth and nose.

"Poof!" A pop came from Wen Cheng's headphones, and he was suddenly shocked, looking back at the 4th floor of the mall, but he could only see the blue sky and white clouds printed on the glass curtain wall.

"Su Meng!"

There was no answer on the other end of the headset.

"Come on! All things are destroyed!" Evil voices came from the headphones.

"Who are you?!" Wen Cheng asked into the headphones.

The sound of snowflakes faded away.

"Wen Cheng? Wen Cheng?" The soft voice gradually became clear, as if it had been calling for a long time.

"Su Meng, are you okay?"

"Wen Cheng, it seems that our frequency band is not safe anymore, you leave me alone, concentrate on commanding." There was a calm, gentle voice on the other end.

"Roger!"

Moon Seung looked at the riverbed and said to the female officer, "Don't worry, it's the enemy's electromagnetic interference, keep going."

The female police officer waved her hand, and all the police officers understood, and they took out the walkie-talkie and turned the knob, and after re-adjusting the frequency, the walkie-talkie came from all directions, and it was orderly, Wen Cheng and the female police officer looked at each other and nodded their heads.

Under the blue sky, chaos began to creep in.

"Foot!" Suddenly there was a roar over the intercom.

Wen Cheng looked at the riverbed, only to see that countless human arms had grown under the black mud! The three officers were dragged into the sludge by their chaotic arms and disappeared.

"These zombies are all hiding in the black mud, hurry up and retreat!" The female police officer said with a walkie-talkie.

Wen Cheng frowned and was silent, he hadn't made up his mind yet, but his thoughts were interrupted by the female policeman's unauthorized order.

More than two dozen police officers were trapped in the middle of the riverbed and were heavily surrounded, both in front and behind, and the black mud under their feet stretched out more and more hands, some slender, some thick, some immature, some full of wrinkles, carrying all kinds of sleeves.

"Get the gun! Fire cover." The female police officer said.

Whether it was trapped or on the shore, the police officers took out the pistols on their waists, and for a while the explosion continued, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, and the black juice continued to splash on the black mud, but hundreds of arms did not hold on, stubble after stubble like seaweed, pulling and swallowing one police officer after another.

In less than a minute, the black mud fell silent, and more than two dozen police officers were swallowed to the bone.

Everyone gasped, as if they had just witnessed the massacre, after all, it was a colleague relationship, the river became a slaughterhouse, the victory or defeat was obvious, some people were frightened by the unexpected development, some people desperately called out to their comrades on the other end of the walkie-talkie, some people still persistently shot at the black mud, some squatted down and ruffled their hair indiscriminately, some people looked away in other directions in horror, the civilians operating the pumping machine were obviously the most frightened, and they were quickly taken out and isolated.

The female police officer named Wang Mengjun was dumbfounded by the fact that she had lost more than 20 subordinates in an instant, and she turned to look at Wen Cheng on the side, looking at why this middle school student in a police uniform always looked indifferent.

Wen Cheng didn't look at the black mud on the riverbed, he raised his head with a hint of disbelief after being ridiculed, locked his gaze on the top of the tower, and looked at the faint orange heroic spirit from a distance.

The drowning injection was still in effect, but all the discomfort was awakened, as if he had just been swallowed up.

Before he and the female police officer could think about the countermeasures again, the black mud suddenly underwent a strange change.

Like a huge plasticine monster, the black mud was pierced through layers of membranes, crawling out one after another crazy zombies, the zombies' eyes were white, their skin and clothes were dyed black, like beasts that had just been washed in oil, and the tide poured ashore.

Wen Cheng looked fixedly, and the twenty or so police officers who had just fallen into it!

"Wen Cheng." A gentle, calm voice came from the other end of the headphones.

"A minute, I guess?" Wen Cheng replied tacitly.

"49 seconds," Su Meng continued, "Withdraw, this has exceeded our expectations."

I thought that the 48-hour contagion period was actually iterated to 49 seconds before the corpse changed, it is hard to imagine that this is a simple medical accident, more like a joint strangulation of technology giants and demon king forces.

"Wait for Su Meng," Wen Cheng clenched his fists, "I still have a back hand, believe me."

The other end of the headset stopped answering, which was her way of expressing her concern.

Wen Cheng came back to his senses, more than a dozen zombie policemen jumped in front of him, but the police officers were dumbfounded, and they didn't shoot at their former colleagues, Wang Mengjun gritted his teeth and trembled his lips, and he hadn't recovered from his shock.

Wen Chengzheng was about to take the walkie-talkie and give an order, but his legs were suddenly entangled.

Looking down, it was a girl with a school bag.
