Volume 1 The Beginning of the Cataclysm Chapter 123 Closure
About half a minute has passed since the Yang couple returned to the center of the team to help Sister Lin Qian.
The good situation created by the ability of the husband and wife is being worn out little by little.
Previously, under the pressure of the corpse tide, the whole team passively became closer.
On the other hand, the black corpses that are swarming and eager to "eat" are more like open cans of sardines, dense and without the slightest gap.
The black corpses are stupid, but they are not afraid of death, and they don't know what to retreat and stop.
More and more "stumbling" black corpses have become the "stepping stones" of latecomers.
The hill of black corpses piled higher and higher, and the little advantage caused by the "curling mirror" was quickly gone.
In that kind of scene, one can't help but wonder if even if a big river is in front of them, they will frantically fill the river and make roads, and rush to it?
This kind of momentum exclusive to the "undead army" is enough to make people fearful, and panic gradually spreads among the team.
But what was surprising was that Haiping saw the dense group of corpses, but he seemed to think of something.
At this time, he slowly curled at the back of the line, and took advantage of the gap between Lan Xi holding his sword to cover for himself, and threw two Type 37 grenades far behind him one after another—the same inventory he had left for himself when he was fighting the corpse group in the warehouse before.
"Watch out for grenades!" Lan Xi shouted in advance.
"Get down!" "Bang!"
The grenade explosion was not as flamboyant as in the film and television works, but the most impressive thing was the huge sound of the air wave and the billowing smoke and dust from the explosion.
There was a delay of several seconds after being thrown, after which a sudden rumble appeared, and the radius of the landing site was almost cleared within twenty meters.
Most of the black corpses in the blast radius were reduced to pieces of flesh and blood, and a few that were far away escaped.
There were also some black corpses who were lucky enough to inadvertently use other companions as "cover" during the explosion, only to be knocked to the ground without major problems.
However, before they could stand up again in a daze, they were trampled on by more companions one by one, and there was no chance to "turn over".
Even with Lan Xi's reminder, there were a few survivors in the team who were shocked and almost stumbled and fell.
After all, they didn't have cover to cover themselves, and even if Haiping had tried to throw as far as possible, they still couldn't avoid the impact damage caused by the air wave.
After the explosion of the Type 37 grenade, nearly 1,000 anti-personnel fragments of about 0.3g will be produced. And the smaller the shrapnel, the greater the number. The density of damage is higher, but the radius of damage is reduced.
Fortunately, these shrapnel were blocked by the dense corpse group, otherwise if this trick was also applied to his own people, it would definitely hurt the enemy by 800 and damage 1,000 himself.
Defensive fragmentation grenades are by no means offensive grenades such as high-explosive grenades.
The high-explosive grenade resembles a large two-kicker, made of a thin piece of broken iron wrapped in a ball of TN T explosives, and has no power to speak of.
In the case of defensive grenades, the lower charge is more lethal, and the attacker is not considered to create an opportunity to advance.
Its sole purpose is to explode and injure the enemy.
In other words, you can't charge immediately after throwing a defensive grenade, and the anti-personnel fragments inside the bullet don't have eyes at all.
Perhaps the offensive grenade only has a lethal radius of three or four meters, and a little farther away there is only a loud noise and vertigo, but the fragmentation grenade is too easy to injure one's own people without the protection of fortifications.
This is also the reason why Haiping did not use these two precious grenades to open the way ahead.
The armory is an old model, and if you can find a Type 49 dual-purpose grenade with a "prefabricated fragmentation set", with a maximum killing radius of 20 meters, it will definitely be a sharp weapon for cleaning up the corpses.
Of course, if there was such a thing, Haiping would not dare to use it in this situation.
Using grenades as a hole card is not a good idea. Because after the explosion of the projectile, not only will it produce powerful killing fragments, but it will also be accompanied by a monstrous loud noise.
People who are buzzing in their ears after being infested by the waves of air and explosions just want to get away from it quickly.
The birthplace of "noise" will attract black corpses farther away.
Correspondingly, if you can pass quickly, leave it behind. The constant explosions can also mislead the subsequent hordes of corpses, so that they no longer have to be pestered.
Haiping had to admit that he had no shortage of "gambling" mentality in this reckless action.
But he didn't have a better option at the time.
Lan Xi and he were just ordinary evolutionaries who were good at swords, and without strong evolutionary abilities, they couldn't deal with dozens of black corpses at all. And rashly engaging with a group of corpses is only a dead end in the end.
……
At the front of the line at the same time, there were only three figures surrounded by corpses.
"Ho-ho-ho."
In front of Lang Hua, another black corpse fell weakly.
Lang Hua raised his hand and pulled out a long tactical thorn, bringing out a puddle of dirty blood from the black corpse's eye socket, and fell to the ground and was wrapped in dust.
From the broad-bladed Mo knife to the narrow and long army stab, in just a few minutes, there were at least twenty black corpses that died under his knife.
Lang Hua didn't have the combat strength to say, but under the crowd of corpses, every time he killed, the difficulty would be doubled. The tattered cloak that now hangs over him is one of the evidences.
A person who has both experience and evolution level will not be trapped by an ordinary low-level corpse group.
But it's one thing for the corpses to take Lang Hua in a way, if they want to turn around and kill all the nearly 100 corpse monsters under the knife, it is absolutely wishful thinking.
Their previous battles were mostly based on injuries and delays, and killing black corpses on the spot was only a few cases.
It's not because they're kind, it's because it's better to can't do it than if they don't want to do it.
It's easier to hurt someone than to kill someone, and the same is true for black corpses.
Even Lang Hua put away his Mo knife and changed his tactical stab shortly after the offensive battle began. Isn't it because assassination is more physically efficient than slashing?
In the final analysis, it is still their low strength and limited evolutionary energy, which cannot withstand the excess consumption.
"Crackle."
Zhou Jin waved the lightsaber in his hand, instantly cutting off a black corpse claw. At the same time, there was another black corpse, quietly touching his back.
"Sting."
The claws of the corpse were sharp, and a crack was immediately cut in Zhou Jin's coat. The skin under the clothes cracked, blood spilled, and the smell of blood irritated the black corpses around them almost went berserk.
But this black corpse that only succeeded, was also stabbed through the brain nucleus with a backhand sword by the "victim" Zhou Jin, who came back to his senses.
The silver-white tip of the sword pierced through the back of the black corpse's head, and Zhou Jin looked at the other party coldly, not feeling relieved because of this.
With a flick of his forearm, the corpse hanging from the lightsaber flew out.
"Uh-huh."
Not far behind Zhou Jin, the long howl of a certain black corpse came to an abrupt end. Lang Hua pulled out the thorn from the back of its heart and pushed the corpse aside.
In the next moment, a black corpse was hit by an arrow in its eye socket and slowly fell down behind Lang Hua.
The crossbow bolts came from the direction of Zhou Jin, and it was Lin Wenjin, who was guarding him back to back. Previously, he cast the "Starfire" and "Golden Sands" abilities one after another, and the evolution energy was almost exhausted, and he was still in a long recovery period.
During this time, he was only able to provide limited long-range support with two Tiger Pulley Crossbows.
As the holder of the bow and arrow skill "Mai Mang", Lin Wenjin can get a huge bonus when using the "arrow" weapon, and it is not an exaggeration to call him an archer.
"Weapon skills" that sprout alone are not only rare, but also more persistent. It is more dependent on outside weapons than most evolutionary abilities. In other words, the energy consumption of the ontological nucleus is extremely small.
Lin Wenjin shot the crossbow arrows at a constant speed, and the consumption caused was almost the same as the speed at which he absorbed the energy of the black fog from the outside world at this stage. This allows Lim Wen Kim to participate in the fight on a constant basis.
Lang Hua's "Blade" is an evolutionary ability, which is more similar to Lin Wenjin's "Maimang". However, the rate of energy consumption of crystal nuclei is more than ten times that of "Maimang".
Of course, Lang Hua's other abilities consume crystal energy at a faster rate. For example, "Rush" is five times that of "Mai Mang X", and "Crystal Nucleus Field" is fifty times......
With the evolution level of Zhou Jin and Lang Hua, it is completely possible to leave everyone behind and escape.
Usually in the last days, in order to save their lives, it is normal for companions to see death and not save each other, and to scatter the romance.
In a year when everyone is in a precarious year, moral kidnapping no longer has such a powerful deterrent. As long as they can live, there is nothing that people will not do.
Of course, there is only one - the traitor must die.
Now Lang Hua and the others are trapped in place for some reason, fighting the corpses, which is really asking for trouble in the eyes of outsiders.
Rao is Lang Hua, as a second-order ability, has already lost more than half of the evolution energy in his body.
Fortunately, everything seems to be developing smoothly, as long as they work together to sweep away the remnants of the black corpses in front of them, they can break through the blockade of the "No. 1 corpse group" and escape before the corpse group from all directions closes.
At this moment, Lang Hua suddenly raised his eyes and looked.
He seemed to have felt a slight tremor at the origin of evolution a moment ago, which made him feel a little uneasy.
And at the end of the line of sight, a small stream of black corpses appeared again, and it seemed that there were only a dozen of them.
"Oh? Is it the reserve army of 'Group 1'? Lin Wenjin laughed and said with disdain, "But how can these old, weak, sick and disabled people who are slow in speed and late in time stop us?" ”
Suddenly, he stared in, unable to speak.
Even the bean flame that ignited on his index finger swayed and almost went out.
Because behind those dozen or so black corpses, a new group of corpses appeared immediately afterward, and the number of black corpses was only a lot more than that of the "No. 1 corpse group"!
And the few black corpses at the head, where are the old, weak, sick and disabled?
Isn't this the special black corpse that Lang Hua mentioned before?
It seems that there are not a few first-order power-type black corpses P1 and first-order agility-type black corpses V1, and there will be second-order black corpses if it's not good!
"Oh my God! What are you doing? ”
Lin Wenjin's face instantly turned ugly - his means were exhausted, his evolution energy was cleared, and his crossbow arrows were not much in stock, how could he deal with these guys again? Do you use flesh and blood to block it?
"It's full of residential areas. Only we were traveling in a north-westerly direction, and after passing through three blocks and shops, there was nothing but a civic center. Zhou Jin muttered, his face full of disbelief.
"This direction must be the least black corpse attack!"
Lin Wenjin hated and complained: "Providence makes people." Could it be that there will still be people holding illegal assemblies in the civic center in the middle of the night? ”
"It's useless to talk more", Lang Hua stood beside the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Gather all the abilities and guns to come ahead, we must force a breakthrough!" ”
Who would have thought that at this time, the little black man who could hear it in mid-air suddenly warned: "Brother Lang, the corpses on the left and right have arrived!" ”
After a long delay here, the scene that Lang Hua least wanted to see finally came-
The "corpse crowd" is about to be formed!
Lin Wenjin looked at Lang Hua, as if waiting for him to propose a new solution.
But the latter glared at him and said, "Look what I do!" Quick, do as you say! Otherwise, we'll all die! ”
