Chapter 413: The Second Mutant Creature Appears
At noon on that day, the convoy arrived at the area before National Highway 412 entered the area of the Aluko Heart Banner for a rest.
There are still relatively few villages around here, and there is not so much concentration of zombies.
Therefore, while the convoy stopped to rest, the combat team of Liu Jinlong and Zhang Zheshan, together with Xiao Tengcan's fire support team and part of the artillery team, set off again and defeated the two surrounding villages. A total of 311 spirit sacs and 31 survivors were brought back.
Then, after lunch, the convoy set off again, and soon entered the area of Alukexinqi, which used to be relatively densely populated.
They had only walked 10 kilometers on the road, and Wei Chen counted them, and there were no less than 15 villages on both sides of the road.
This is what they can see from the car, a little farther on both sides of the road, where they can't see. According to satellite imagery, there are many more villages!
Although the scale of these villages is generally not large, Wei Chen and the others can still see a lot of zombies in these villages.
Even the zombies on the national highway are much denser than the rest of Mengzhou before.
Fortunately, the armored road opener had already been re-reinforced in the morning. The loose part of the ramming mechanism has been repaired.
Fortunately, the national highway does not need to pass through the city of Aluko Xinqi this time.
So the convoy rushed all the way on the national highway, and in the evening of the same day, the convoy rushed through the densely populated area of the village of Aluko.
Chen Ran looked at the time, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered Zhu Changshun: "Brother Zhu, let's drive another 5 kilometers forward, a little farther away from the Aluke Heart Banner area behind, let's stop and prepare for the night!" ”
"Understood!" Zhu Changshun quickly responded.
However, at this moment, a combat squad leader of Zhang Zheshan's squad at the back of the convoy suddenly reported to Chen Ran anxiously on the walkie-talkie: "Captain, captain!" Here is car number 38. Just ...... It was as if a horse, from our left, overtook us at great speed and ran towards the front of the convoy! ”
"Huh? A horse? Chen Ran immediately let out a somewhat puzzled voice.
He then asked, "Are you sure?" Our team is now traveling at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour! ”
Even if he is not very familiar with horses, in Chen Ran's impression, it seems that it is difficult for ordinary horses to reach a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, even when charging.
Unless it's a horse race, but it also has to be on a professional racecourse, so you can run that fast.
But on the side of car No. 38, there was a reply soon: "Sure! ”
And then the driver of car No. 34 in front of car No. 38 also reported that "Captain, there is, it has also passed us on the left side." At least 120 kilometers per hour! ”
"120 km/h! It can't be! This time, even Liu Jinlong and the others were very surprised.
Jiang Wenxi, who was in the middle of the convoy, couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Captain! Isn't this some kind of strange zombie? Do you want to shoot it! It is impossible for ordinary horses to run so fast! ”
But Chen Ran thought about it and immediately said, "Don't use it yet!" ”
He then immediately asked the driver of car No. 34: "Car No. 34, can you be sure that it is indeed a horse?" Did you notice anything unusual about the horse? Are there any rotten places on your body? ”
The driver of car No. 34 immediately replied: "It is indeed a horse." There was nothing out of the ordeal, except that it seemed to be slightly larger than a normal horse. There is no decay on the body, and it doesn't look like a zombie! ”
Chen Ran immediately replied: "Very good, continue to observe!" ”
At this time, Wei Chen in the RV couldn't help but ask curiously: "Captain, if it's not a zombie, then what is it?" It seems that ordinary horses can't run so fast! ”
And Chen Ran couldn't help but smile a little happily at this time and replied: "If I'm not mistaken, this may be a mutant horse!" ”
"Mutant horse!" Xu Kai, who was driving, couldn't help but ask in surprise: "It's also a mutant creature?" ”
And it is very natural for Xu Kaihui to be so surprised.
Because the number of mutated creatures is very rare, but the strength is very strong.
They came from Dongzhou all the way, and there were no less than 8 mutant zombies on the road, which were also very rare.
But the mutant creatures have always only encountered Daha, and its rarity can be seen.
And Daha's previous performance was indeed very eye-catching.
So after knowing that what they encountered at this time should also be a mutant creature, Wei Chen, Xu Kai and the others couldn't help but be happy and excited.
But soon, Wei Chen didn't seem to be so excited again.
Because he suddenly remembered again, Chen Ran seemed to have said before that horses were different from other creatures, they had almost no combat effectiveness. There are neither claws nor fangs.
Used as a mount, the speed and endurance are not as good as cars.
So in the last days, there is little use.
Even if this horse is a mutant horse, it doesn't seem to change anything.
But seeing that Chen Ran still seemed to be very happy, Wei Chen couldn't help but ask curiously, "Captain, didn't you say before that horses are almost useless in the last days?" Even if the speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, with its flesh and blood, it seems that it can't charge into battle as a war horse. Why are you so happy? ”
Chen Ran smiled and said, "Haha, that's because we haven't encountered mutant horses before!" I didn't expect to meet a mutant horse! The situation of mutant horses is of course different from that of ordinary horses! It's useful! ”
"So this mutant horse is very strong? Shall we stop now and get it back? Wei Chen suddenly became interested again.
But Chen Ran shook his head and said, "That's not it!" ”
He continued, "I'll talk to you later. But we can't just stop and catch this mutant horse right now. ”
Chen Ran continued: "The Mutant Horse has a speed of more than 120 kilometers per hour, and this may not be its fastest speed, and its endurance is also very strong. Our car can't drive up to the grassland, and we can't catch it by manpower alone! ”
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Xiangdong couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Chen Ran thought about it, then picked up his mobile phone again, contacted the driver of car No. 34, and asked, "Car No. 34, is the horse still there?" ”
The driver of car No. 34 immediately replied: "I have run in front of car No. 32." ”
Immediately afterwards, the driver of car No. 32 also reported: "Captain, that horse is now on the left side of our car, and it is already about to overtake us!" ”
