Chapter 39: The First Search
In the Naple region, on National Highway 200, Zeng Tianqi and his party were taking a nap, and the supplies they brought out were only one day's supply. Replenished with this meal of dry food and water, they were left on their own. Along the way, crazy corpses appeared sporadically, Zeng Tianqi did not move, nor did he let them use firearms, only let them use knives.
In Zeng Tianqi's words, just a few miscellaneous fish, it is the norm to solve them casually. At the beginning, several of them had graduated from the villagers' training, and they had never fought against the mad corpses, and they were trembling slightly with their knives in their hands, let alone rushing forward to slash and kill. What was surprising was Ba Zhuo, who let Zeng Tianqi see a strong blackwater-style combat mode. When moving, the small steps are erratic, and when chopping, the big opening and closing are full of fierceness. Zeng Tianqi underestimated in his heart, Su Xiaoyu really poured a lot of dry goods into Ba Zhuo. This kid is also, in such a short period of time, he has practiced decently.
Broken shadow, is the name of this footwork, Zeng Tianqi is its founder, Zeng Tianqi was seriously injured when he went out on a mission in the early days, lost in the dust mountain, was rescued by a Taoist priest in the mountain, Zeng Tianqi cultivated in the dust mountain for more than a month, the old Tao passed on his set of basic footwork, it is said that the prototype was used by hunters when they avoided the beasts in the mountains. Zeng Tianqi was very smart, combined with Heishui's fighting skills and some ancient martial arts he had learned, to create a "broken shadow", the original small broken steps were too heavy for the calf and patella, and he himself did not use it before. It was just passed to a few brothers in Blackwater. Among them, the best of the thirteen practices, he was already light and thin.
As Zeng Tianqi went to Iraq to carry out a mission and came into contact with mercenaries from all over the world, his horizons became more and more broad, and his current fighting style has long been not limited to 'style', for him, shooting will be a killing technique. So he also admits that he is not very suitable for training people, especially as a sparring partner.
It's just that I didn't expect Su Xiaoyu to pass it on to Ba Zhuo, and Ba Zhuo actually used it faintly with a bit of thirteen's demeanor, the same thin figure, that move and dodge, and open and close like Thirteen's lifeless play. Thinking of thirteen, Zeng Tian abandoned the kettle to his mouth but didn't drink it, and his thoughts had already drifted into the distance.
"Brothers, where are you all??"
Zeng Tianqi pulled back his thoughts and poured the kettle in his hand and put it away. Standing up and waving his hand, everyone immediately got up from their lazy rest. After a day of running-in, everyone now dares to hold cold weapons and fight with crazy corpses, and they are gradually pleasantly surprised to find that the training they have received is almost for slashing and killing crazy corpses. Because the mad corpse mostly pounces in a straight line, and moves, swings the knife, they have practiced countless times. They were pleasantly surprised to find that the three moves and two styles taught by the instructor in their hands were combined, and they were able to seize the opportunity, and the last to come first, the angle was specifically aimed at the weak abdomen, neck, calves and other parts of the crazy corpse.
Of course. What they are facing is the kind of wild corpse that only sheds its epidermis and its body grows irregularly, shapeless, and has low mobility, although it has great strength, but after all, there are too many superfluous body organs and tissues, and its actions are not threatening. Those crazy corpses that have evolved deeply are not so easy to deal with, in the process of repeated body growth, some genes will occupy an overwhelming advantage, and then they will grow in one direction, and those hypergenerized limbs will gradually die and fall off, thus becoming an existence similar to a humanoid beast, such a wild corpse is a threat, they have obtained enough flesh and blood, and evolved a variety of collateral abilities. And what Zeng Tian gave up was just to get everyone used to blood. With the blood of the mad corpses, stir up their courage.
As everyone knows, most of the recruits on the battlefield die of fear, lose an inch in artillery fire and stray bullets, kill their own people, and drag down their teammates. In the end, he died without explanation. Such cases abound. Now, with the blood of the mad corpse on their blades, they are becoming hyperactive and confident. When encountering a mad corpse again, he will become calm and calm. Otherwise, only with firearms. The ammunition of the 426th regiment may not be able to withstand squandering.
In the silent white-knuckle battle, Zeng Tianqi and his party almost did not encounter a large number of crazy corpse clusters. In addition to the sound waves and smells traveling farther in the dense fog, this dense fog that even X gamma can filter has minimized the functions of radiation perception such as infrared thermal imaging. Even if the mad corpse is good at perception, I'm afraid the range is limited. This is also one of the results of Zeng Tianqi and Su Xiaoyu's exploration.
Before dark, the group arrived at a construction site. The construction site was in a state of stagnation, and due to the catastrophe, many people thought they were sick and went home to rest, and the entire construction site can be said to have been suspended from the beginning of the catastrophe. Therefore, in a place like the general construction site, it is in a state of no one from the beginning, and if you camp here, there is a high probability that you will not encounter a siege of wild corpses.
When it got dark, they found some hidden corners of unfinished buildings with walls and bonfires, the first and second floors were the best choice, not only not to be forced to have no way out, but also conducive to the sentry outside the building to stand guard and buffer, so as not to be found out too late to react to the hasty battle. Ge Lianchen and the people have already gone to touch it. "Brother Zeng, there are probably four more trucks that can be used. The reinforced concrete was barely touched. The warehouse is full of building materials. A heavy-duty excavator was also found. Ge Lianchen held a small notebook, on which a simple map was recorded, which was full of materials in the places they had visited, and the number of wild corpses.
"Don't touch the supplies here yet, we are short of fuel, tomorrow we will go to the outskirts of the city to sweep around, scout the gas station, and replenish by the way." Zeng Tianqi added, "Tonight, there will be four people in a shift, each shift will be one hour, and the rest will be in turn. Depart early tomorrow morning. "Be careful, the wild corpses of the night are extremely dangerous." After Zeng Tianqi finished speaking, he picked up his hands and leaned against the wall and pretended to sleep. Years of life as an agent have already made him get into the habit of pricking up one ear when resting. Don't look at him falling asleep, if there is any movement, I'm afraid he will bounce up as soon as possible.
Su Xiaoyu walked out of the cave and looked up at the stars in the valley, which can only be seen by the Great King Bodhi. It was the first night of the search party's departure. Su Xiaoyu is not worried about Zeng Tianqi, if you want to say who knows Zeng Tianqi best, it must be Su Xiaoyu. Zeng Tianren's ability, in any conceivable desperate situation, he always has a way to escape. He was actually worried about Ba Zhuo, in a month of training, Su Xiaoyu watched Ba Zhuo's growth step by step, footwork, knife skills, as long as it was not a special crazy corpse, it would not be difficult for him. It's just that... Su Xiaoyu touched her white and flawless right arm, that day Ba Zhuo had been trained by her to exhaustion, she had the heart to let Ba Zhuo rest, but Ba Zhuo stubbornly said that he would finish training tomorrow, and he didn't want to be brushed down. forcibly wanted to practice again, Su Xiaoyu couldn't resist Ba Zhuo, and took out his dagger to practice with Ba Zhuo.
Although when Ba Zhuo is the younger brother, Su Xiaoyu is not soft at all, Heishui's style is to be on the verge of death, the more brutal the training, the greater the chance of survival in the mission. Actual combat is the fastest way to improve, so she must control the danger of sparring to the limit as much as possible, so that Ba Zhuo can maximize the improvement.
Su Xiaoyu clearly remembered that when his dagger approached the neck of Ba Zhuo, who had almost no strength to fight back, Ba Zhuo's pupils suddenly turned into vertical crosses, the whites of his eyes suddenly turned rapidly towards earthy yellow, and his mouth let out an abnormal low roar. In an instant, the knife in Bazhuo's hand had turned into a white strip and flashed. She only had time to swing her dagger to her chest, and a slash slashed down her right shoulder.
"Ding!" The dagger broke in response, and Su Xiaoyu was bounced away by the force of the knife, and slid on the ground for a few steps before stopping. Looking down at Su Xiaoyu's right arm and right shoulder, a deep wound was cut out. Su Xiaoyu can imagine that if there was no dagger, it is estimated that his right shoulder would be cut off at the root. Badjo, on the other hand, looked as if he had lost his mind and ran wild.
"Bazhuo! Stop, training is over! And Ba Zhuo turned a deaf ear, prostrate on the ground, and pounced like a hungry wolf, Su Xiaoyu looked at the wound he was healing, dodged a backflip, and raised his leg to sweep. A kick hit the root of Bazhuo's ear, and Bazhuo stopped the attack and shook softly, his earthy pupils rolled up, and he fainted.
Su Xiaoyu didn't mention this matter to Ba Zhuo, but only quietly told Zeng Tianqi. After listening to this, Zeng Tianqi laughed twice. "Of course, he is our younger brother, how can he be ordinary!"
Su Xiaoyu was just worried about Ba Zhuo's uncontrollable rampage, and had the intention to let Zeng Tianqi leave Ba Zhuo to stay in Tree City. However, Zeng Tianqi patted Su Xiaoyu on the shoulder, "Look at what Ba Zhuo means, he has gained strength, he is no longer a child who needs the protection of you and me." If he has a strong heart, I will guide him. ”
"Ahh Badr felt a little itchy in his nose, perhaps because of the cold at night. The black boy next to him patted him on the shoulder, "Hold on, it's time for a change of guard soon." "The fog in the city is not so thick, and a large amount of vegetation is still trying to adapt to this end of the world, like many people, and has not yet expanded into human territory, even if it is already an abandoned territory, so the fog in the city is always thinner, as if it is gently covered with a cold veil around it. Badjo smiled at him, clutching the Defender rifle, which was disproportionate to the others.
"Bazhuo, I think I've evolved, I can't see so far, can you see it? Is there something moving on the roof of the unfinished building over there? God, how can I see so far? It's been more than 200 meters here, right? The potion is magical. ”
Bazhuo looked in the direction the black boy pointed, and in the hazy mist, there really seemed to be something moving on the steel beams of the roof. Badro looked at it again, and suddenly, the 'thing' unfolded, and several monstrous limbs resembled the four legs of a spider. In a flash, it disappeared with an eerie childlike laughter.
At the same time, Bazhuo's heart was alarmed, and he subconsciously pulled out the long knife he was carrying on his back. Ba Zhuo's long knife was after Zeng Tianqi brought back the materials for the first time, when he watched Zeng Tianqi reforge his long knife, he strongly asked to give himself a shot, Zeng Tianqi took the long spring steel and gestured in front of him, and said with a smile: "There is no knife yet, do you still want to play with the knife?" The next day, however, Badrol received a long knife that was almost the same height as himself. It's just that he doesn't seem to know that this knife has already opened its edge to drink blood, and it is still Su Xiaoyu's blood.
Before the black boy could react, Ba Zhuo had already leaned forward and stepped out with a brisk step, Su Xiaoyu taught him, "The knife of the black water has the momentum of moving forward, and the first thing to learn is the spirit of the knife." feet, to step on the barricades, knives, to shake the enemy's mind. ”
Bazhuo drew his knife and stepped out, letting out a roar in his heart, exerting the strength of his life, and slashing forward diagonally. Bite! With a bang, a pitch-black spider leg blocked the powerful knife, and Bazhuo did not succeed in the knife, and he was not discouraged. The waist is forced, the body rotates and turns the knife head, from left to right, and becomes a horizontal slash. Got it! The touch of flesh came from Bazhuo's hand. A child's cry, the sound of breaking wind above Badjo's head. He secretly said that it was not good, and the horizontal knife was raised, and his feet quickly flashed backwards, and a black spider leg covered with bristles stabbed the side of the knife. With a loud "ding", Bazhuo retreated wildly, his feet unsteadily smashed into the pile of sand used for construction behind him. Boom! There was a muffled sound.
At this time, everyone was awakened, and the black boy reacted, and Bazhuo had already fought back and forth with the incoming lightning. Everyone got up and looked vigilantly at a humanoid monster holding its stomach. Zeng Tianqi didn't know when he was already holding hands and watching.
Bazhuo got up from the sand pile in embarrassment and spat out a mouthful of yellow sand, "Come again!" He seemed to have returned to the scene of the battle with Su Xiaoyu. That sense of oppression, he didn't care about the people around him who were awakened, Zeng Tianqi let him stay in Shucheng yesterday, he was not convinced, he needed to prove himself.
Everyone got up and subconsciously drew their knives to besiege them, Zeng Tianqi waved his hand to stop everyone. He was faintly looking forward to what Su Xiaoyu said about Ba Zhuo's rampage, and he wanted to see what kind of strength his stupid brother could burst out if he was pushed to the limit. Zeng Tianqi stared at the humanoid spider in front of him, but he felt extremely familiar with it.
Opposite Badro was the image of a naked child one size smaller than Badrow, almost human-like if it weren't for the four bristly spider legs on its back. At this moment, he was holding his stomach that was cut by Ba Zhuo and crying quietly, Ba Zhuo was also speechless, he was about to go up to check, only to hear the crying suddenly turn into a terrible scream. Spider-Man's back two front legs pop out like lightning. Bazhuo's eyes lit up, his feet did not stop, he turned sideways to dodge one claw, but the other claw grabbed from his lower abdomen, Bazhuo did not have time to swing the knife to separate, so he had to turn sideways and let the claw sweep by his side. Bazhuo was relieved that a wound had been cut in his left lower rib. The skin was not injured, so dangerous.
The humanoid spider saw that Bazhuo had been scratched in the same way as him, clapped his hands and laughed, licking the remaining drops of blood from his paws.
Enraged, Badrol raised his knife in both hands and mopped the floor, rushing forward. Constantly tempted by small broken steps, the two front legs of Spider-Man grabbed the hooks left and right with small movements, and he dodged them with small movements. Zeng Tianqi looked at the back and nodded.
Until he got closer, Bazhuo suddenly changed his small steps to a large forward step, bullying him to get closer, his body was like a bow and gaining momentum, and the dragging knife instantly slashed out from the bottom up. This move is also one of Zeng Tianqi's ancient martial arts, and its effect is to surprise from the blind spot of vision, and cut it out at a tricky angle and extremely fast speed. Spider-Man also seemed to sense the threat, and was about to jump up with his back legs propped up, and it had been fighting with two forelimbs on its back until now, and it used two hind limbs for the first time. However, it was still slow, and the two legs of the humanoid were cut diagonally. A disgusting gray-white slime splattered inside, a testament to the inhuman nature of the humanoid. The humanoid roared like never before. Without legs, it could not stand, and on all fours, it completely took the shape of a large spider. Exerting strength on all fours, the state in which Bazhuo saw it disappear in an instant appeared on the top of the building. Zeng Tianqi's pupils shrank, this kind of speed was no longer something that Ba Zhuo could handle, and he was about to make a move. The spider's two forelimbs poked out, and the wind pressure came. Badro didn't have time to react.
In an instant, Ba Zhuo's pupils suddenly became vertical and crossed. Like the awakening of the ancient bloodline. The spider-man suddenly saw a bright silver line appear in front of him. The spider-man instantly felt that his front body was light, his body was unbalanced, and he fell to the ground in one gulp, and when he looked up, he saw that the two forelimbs had been cut off, and gray-white liquid flowed out of the fracture. The last thing Spider-Man saw was a black shadow descending from his head, slashing out, and Spider-Man froze in place as if he had been immobilized, and then he watched his vision split into two parts.
