Chapter 197: Mutant Claws
What's worse is that there is more than one mutant zombie hiding in the mall.
Zhang Zhao's marksmanship was inaccurate, and he fired half a magazine in a row, and he didn't even capture the other party's traces. The lights and shadows in the mall are staggered, and those mutated zombies jump from one end to the other from time to time, and when the gun is pointed at it, the short body burrows into the pile of furniture and disappears.
The killers hidden in the shadows were like Zhang Zhao and they were on the bar, and Li Zhizhi and the others left in a hurry just now, and they didn't show up. At this time, Zhang Zhao and the others had the intention of destroying them, but they jumped left and right in one go, interfering with the retreating camp.
These mutated zombies are very difficult and very versatile, and they will not confront humans head-on. Li Teh broke free from Mo Xiaobei's surveillance, and ran to the place where Li Qi and Guan Ting were tied up sadly. Zhang Zhao and the others also rushed over, around the pillar standing in the mall, there was viscous blood within two meters around, and Li Qi and Guan Ting, who were already lifeless, drooped their heads, like two deflated dolls. Richie had deep wounds in his neck and chest, crisscrossed by rolled flesh. And Guan Ting's luck was not so good, in addition to the wounds on his body, the head was almost only pulled by a thin layer of skin, and he was actually cut off by the monster directly from the neck.
Richie's skin was grayish, his eyes were round, and his eyes were covered with a layer of pale white frost. Seeing the corpse of his brother's tragic death with his own eyes, even the heart-hearted Li Teh couldn't stand it. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh, his shoulders shrugged, he didn't care about the blood on the ground, and walked straight to Li Qi and squatted down.
"Brother, it's too late." Without superfluous words, Li Teh reached out and gently stroked Li Qi's eyelids, he knew that his own brother would not be blind.
People are dead, and there's nothing to say. Although Li Qi was not killed by Zhang Zhao and them, he couldn't escape the involvement. It's just that there is a fixed number of everything, and the ghost knows that at such a time, a mutated zombie will suddenly come out and kill the two people who can't move.
Li Te has hatred in his heart, and the people who caused his brother to be brutally killed are all at the scene, and if they hadn't tied up Li Qi, this kind of thing would not have happened. In the apocalyptic world, there is no right or wrong, no cause and effect, but in Leete's heart, blood debt needs to be paid in blood.
He slowly released his secretly clenched fist, then stood up, saying nothing, just staring at the few people present. He scanned all the faces of these people and remembered them deeply.
Li Hao didn't dare to look at the bodies of the two, turned his head sideways, and said, "Let's go." ”
There was a rumbling sound in the wardrobe not far away, and it seemed to be a giant rat, galloping by. With years of experience, Xu Haihai reacted at the first time, and it was a bullet to shake his hand.
The mall was lively again, and a scream like a monkey sounded, and there were a few more mutated zombies. The mutant zombie seemed to have ended the opportunity to give humans a moment of silence, and the action was more compact, and there was a mutant zombie, standing on the cabinet ten meters away from the team, staring at everyone.
It was a monster the size of a child of seven or eight years old, with big copper eyes and rotting clothes that had stuck to the coffee-colored skin. He had a black bone spur about fifty or sixty centimeters long in each of his hands, which shimmered in the light. This monster, like a human and a monkey, is slightly different from the image of the claws in Zhang Zhao's impression.
"This is an evolved claw, everyone be careful, this thing is evil." Zhang Zhao reminded that for zombies that have never been met, they must be energetic, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment.
The mutant claws stood on the cabinet, the skin on its body like a pustule, glowing strangely in the light. He raised a curved and sharp claw, stuck out his tongue and licked the remaining blood on it, then let out a high-pitched roar towards the crowd.
"This dog thing ......" Guo Rong scolded secretly, and shot with a gun, and after a gunshot, the mutated claws squeaked and disappeared from sight, and I don't know if he was dead or escaped.
At this moment, the mutant claws hiding everywhere seemed to be completely enraged, and the mall was full of squeaky screams, incessantly.
This time, Guo Rong was also panicked, was the mutated claw just now, could it be the head?
The mutant claws jumped out of the nearby pile of furniture more and more frequently, and disappeared after just appearing. Everyone kept walking towards the door in the stairwell. Originally, there were only one or two in the past, but there were many people and weapons, and there were no worries after they were killed. Judging from the situation just now, there are at least five or more.
This is different, mutant zombies are not comparable to ordinary zombies in terms of aggression and intelligence. If the kind of zombie can be called IQ. If you don't take this opportunity to solve the problem, it is conceivable that even if you escape from this area, these zombies will follow quietly. Leaving here now, I don't know what environment to spend the night in, but even in an airtight room, these pervasive mutated claws are enough to pose a threat to exterminate the team.
There was a slight movement around, and immediately someone shot at that place, and after a long time of circling like this, there was not a single mutant claw that killed him on the spot.
"My day, or we'll burn this with a fire." Guo Rong said angrily. Then I thought about it, it was still very difficult to burn this place down without combustion.
The obstacle at the entrance of the third floor was pushed down a lot by the corpses outside, and if you can't leave in time, it is estimated that those zombies will rush in.
Several people are not clustered together, there are also two or three meters apart, with the mutated claws jumping around causing obstacles, Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong, who are walking at the end, and Mo Xiaobei, are already separated by seven or eight meters from Langchen in front.
The claw zombies were very smart, as if they were deliberately driving everyone away, and they didn't pounce directly. The two camps were at a stalemate until someone lost their mind, and a claw suddenly jumped out from behind a decorative stand.
"Be careful!" Guo Rong roared and pushed Zhang Zhao with his free hand. Then it was still a step too late, and a black shadow flashed, cutting a gap in Zhang Zhao's left shoulder.
When Guo Rong shouted, Zhang Zhao also knew that the danger was approaching, his head buzzed, and by the time he reacted, he had already staggered and sat on the ground.
He didn't pay attention to the torn clothes on his left shoulder, and his figure didn't notice the pain. Guo Rong chased the black shadow to practice shooting, until the black shadow scurried into the back of a large cabinet.
A lot of black-red blood dripped from the ground, and the mutated claw finally didn't escape and was shot. At the same time, just after everyone's attention was attracted by Zhang Zhao and them, more sharp claws jumped two or three meters high and rushed into the team.
For a while, there was an exclamation, and the team, which was still marching conservatively, was suddenly chaotic.
Guo Rong wanted to help Zhang Zhao who fell to the ground up, but before he could take two steps, another mutated claw came out. Guo Rong is also a practitioner, subconsciously squatting down, and then facing the sharp claws in mid-air, it is a shuttle of bullets.
No matter how fast the bullet is, in the hands of ordinary people, it can't be as fast as a claw zombie. Although Guo Rong has also practiced shooting for a while, he can't deal with this high-speed monster, and human reactions can't cope with it. After sweeping a magazine, not even the figure of the mutated claw was captured.
Guo Rong scolded his mother, simply threw the rifle back, put it on his back, then pulled out the war knife, and looked around quickly.
To deal with mutant claws, in addition to superb shooting skills, you also need good awareness, remember that when you used to play shooting games, you had to learn to predict if you wanted to fight against powerful opponents. Through analysis, when the enemy has just revealed his body, shooting in advance can often have unexpected gains.
Of course, in such a complex place, mutant zombies can appear from any place at any time, so it is impossible to predict. You can only wait for him to appear, estimate his trajectory by yourself, aim in advance, and find the right shooting point before the mutant claw. It's not difficult to say, but in practice, you can't do it without a certain amount of effort and experience.
More and more mutated claws came into everyone's sight, some just appeared and ran away, and more were attacking people. Someone screamed, and the wound was cut by the flashing claws, and it was still illuminated by a flashlight, and all of a sudden the light and shadow flickered.
Mo Xiaobei shot continuously at the disappearing mutant claws, just now he clearly felt that there was a movement behind him, but as soon as he turned around, except for the pillar in the distance, Li Qi, who was being corpsed, was moving, and there was nothing else.
Li Qi was killed by the mutant claws, and his brain was not destroyed, so he could not escape the fate of corpse. At the moment, he was twisting and struggling on the ground, slowly standing up. He was wrapped in a rope, and his body had broken free, but he didn't take two steps before he fell to the ground with an ordinary thud. This look is extremely funny and ridiculous, but now Mo Xiaobei can't laugh.
Two mutated claw zombies, one left and one right, landed on the ground, only three or four meters away from him, like a hunting wolf, wielding long claws as sharp as knives.
"Team Guo, back!" Mo Xiaobei raised his gun and fired, a mutant claw was shot once, and then he scattered out, and the next time he appeared, he was already leaping in mid-air.
The two mutant claws attacked towards Mo Xiaobei at almost the same time, and when he shouted Guo Rong, Guo Rong also noticed the movement behind him. As the claws were about to approach, Guo Rong let out a loud shout, swung his sword, and slashed at the neck of a mutant claw.
A cloud of black blood burst out in mid-air, Mo Xiaobei's eyes widened, and he fired a few shots in a panic. His luck was not so good, the mutated claw that was shot pressed towards him, and a bunch of long claws stabbed into Mo Xiaobei's chest.
"Xiao Mo!" Guo Rong shouted.
Before Mo Xiaobei could react, he died with the mutated claw. The pair of long claws were divided into left and right and passed through the chest, causing a large wound, even if Hua Tuo was alive, he was powerless to return to the sky. Mo Xiaobei lost his life almost instantly. Guo Rong's scalp was numb, and he ruthlessly cut off the head of a mutated claw.
"Let's go!" Zhang Zhao rolled up from the ground, carrying a gun in one hand and a Tang knife in the other, beckoning Guo Rong, following the fleeing team, running towards the entrance of the stairwell with all his might.
