Chapter 179: The Beginning of a Heroic Journey
The rain was pouring down. After the winter passed, everything recovered. But no one can experience this long-lost spring flood peacefully.
The sticky raindrops are not turbulent, but they are continuous. The rain lasted for days and nights. Uninhabited metropolises have become even dirtier.
They are all high-level zombies, running wildly around the block. They move far faster than humans can do. And understand the concept of 'weapon'. So that every high-level zombie will hold some household goods in his hands.
From a distance, the zombie tide is like a wave in a strong wind, rushing from one side of the block to the other, and then quickly rushing farther away. There is no purpose; There is no goal. Simply moving for the sake of moving......
If you look closely, the zombies who were adult males before their deaths almost all became bald, but they were not thin. On the contrary, muscles are abundant. The pale green skin cloth has a few whitish spots. The black veins burst out. The broken clothes exposed part of the wounds, but the wounds did not show the slightest trace of decay, but withered and contracted, thus effectively preventing festering! If you look at their organs through the open wound, you will find that they have shrunk to the size of a thumb, but the inner walls of the abdominal cavity and chest cavity actually glow with emerald fluorescence.
Immortal, immortal!
Before her death, she was an adult female zombie, and her body was narrow and long. The strength is less terrifying than that of men. But agile is even better.
As for the zombies who were underage before they were alive. It will be weakened in all aspects. Therefore, the tide of such a group of high-level zombies symbolizes absolute death......
An extremely thin rat somehow escaped into the crowd of corpses, and an astonishing scene occurred. The dark golden pupils of the high-level zombies, which were covered with red bloodshots, actually shrank suddenly, and then stared at this rare living thing, and then dozens of high-level zombies around them swarmed up, tearing the poor mouse into a pool of blood!
Just as one of the high-level zombies who had seized the torso of the rat filled its mouth with the disgusting piece of flesh, a huge black iron palm immediately smashed the zombie to pieces. The giant finger, which was 3 inches thick and 2 feet long, poked into its head with great ease, and then dug out an emerald energy crystal. Fill a large mouth of blood basin.
It was a new type of xenomorph zombie that knew how to 'eat its own kind', reaching a height of 4 meters - the giant spirit!
Zombie alienation progresses over time. Reached the 2nd period! This means that there will be even more terrifying xenomorphs......
……
It's the kind of Chongtai city that ordinary survivors can't set foot in at all. A huge base car roamed the block with impunity. With a loud rumbling sound, the huge high-density tires crushed the high-level zombies that pounced on it into pulp. When the zombie corpses pile up to a terrifying level. Rows of tires drove over it, and the blackened flesh was like a quagmire in a rainstorm, splashed everywhere......
Huge sharp protective plates, like the bow of a ship breaking waves. Push more high-level zombie platoons to the sides of the car, if you look down on this street full of corpses. This base car, named 'Brilliant', is like a heavy ship, riding the wind and waves in the sea of flesh and blood!
……
"It's the second day...... "The old Wang Tou in the cab was lying on his back in the seat, muttering to himself. He was used to all the horrific scenes outside the steel windows. Boredom fine-tuned the steering wheel to make sure the brilliant base car kept moving along the road. After a while, he muttered again: "At this slow speed, when will you be able to leave Chongtai City......
Yin Xiao leaned on the soft gas seat in the conference room next to him, and while wiping the crossbow in his arms with rags, he replied: "We are already on the edge of Chongtai City, maybe in half a day, we will be able to leave this hellish place." ”
"I hope so." Lao Wang Tou breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up the military kettle from the driver's platform, and took a sip of the Chunsui tea inside. Then he said: "It's a pity that this is good tea, if there is a plate of tea." The taste will definitely be very different. ”
Yin Xiao stared sideways at the paint-off military kettle in the old king's hand. couldn't help but smile: "Old man, it's good to drink some." Carbonated drinks like my favorite are probably long gone. With that, he got up and was about to return the crossbow to his room, but he stumbled as he descended the stairs, and if it wasn't for his good balance, he would have rolled down the metal steps.
"!" Yin Xiao cursed, it turned out that the soles of his military boots had fallen off. The bare soles with a sour smell poked out directly, and the five toe beans couldn't help swinging, looking extremely embarrassed.
"Hahaha......" A girl's unique laughter sounded heartily, and Xiaobei, who was doing an elbow handstand on the edge of the bar, couldn't help laughing when she saw Yin Xiao's embarrassment. Even because of the imbalance of his body, he fell to the ground hard. When she got up, she pulled up her ill-fitting shirt and wiped the sweat from her face, and snickered a few more times.
Yin Xiao pointed to Xiaobei's tight abdominal muscles, and said with his whole chest that couldn't stop shaking: "Brother, we are half a catty." ”
Xiaobei, who suddenly realized something, got up awkwardly, and then returned to the room without looking back.
"Hey, she's still a girl. She'll be embarrassed to say that. The old king smiled and quipped.
"Come on, she looks like she's an adult." Yin Xiao limped to the other side of the cockpit, in front of the temperature-controlled warehouse made of particle compression storage, and found the toolbox, hoping to have some tools at hand to mend the broken shoes on his feet.
Lao Wang Tou stretched out his hand and gestured at his chest and said, "You don't know, when we first met her, she was only so tall, and she was a yellow-haired girl with a crying nose." Thinking back to the time at the Morning Light Base, she was really crazy......" After thinking for a moment, she found an appropriate word and added: "...... It's like weeds. ”
Yin Xiao asked in disbelief, "Then how old is she?" ”
The old king turned the controller, and after straightening the brilliant base car to drive off, he replied: "I don't remember, it's about eighteen or nineteen......
"It's 15 years old." Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind the bar. He Hao, who was wearing a scarred upper body, lifted the blanket covering his body and sat up from the soft 'L' shaped sofa.
"Haozi, you can be considered awake." The old king glanced back. Then he joked and said, "You're quite interested in that girl." ”
He Hao ignored it, picked up the shirt that fell on the ground from under the sofa and put it on his body, only to make a 'stab' crack - a huge cut in the sleeve was cut by the mechanical arm.
"Hey! Haozi, how many things are this? Seeing this, the old king pointed to his clothes and said, "Don't think about beating my clothes again!" ”
He Hao still didn't say anything, directly tore and peeled off his clothes, and then walked straight to the console. Seeing outside the metal window, behind the endless tide of zombies, there is a bustling block of buildings. He asked, "Does anyone know where we are now?" ”
"We passed through Chongtai New County yesterday and only crossed the Hongchuan River Bridge just now. If I remember correctly, this should be the west side of Chongtai City, maybe it's almost Qingyi Commercial Street. Yin Xiao, who is half a local, replied. But after all, everything has changed too much after the end of the world, and he is not too sure.
He Hao thought for a moment, then patted Lao Wang's shoulder and said, "Turn around, break into the commercial street, let's scavenge for some daily necessities in those hypermarkets." ”
"Yay!" The old king's head shook his arm with great excitement. He couldn't help but say, "It's long overdue, you know, Haozi!" These socks of mine have no heels anymore. To be honest, my pants are more breathable than lotus roots......"
With the removal of the pseudo-perpetual motion machine system of the brilliant base car, the speed of the original unfast vehicle will be reduced again to ensure that the base car does not consume additional repellent fuel when parking.
"Boom! Rumble! With several violent loud noises, the base car directly stepped onto the crosswalk, drove into a community, and then ran through the rows of residential buildings, in the billowing smoke and dust, burying the high-level zombies that had been chasing behind. After crossing a small theme park, we headed straight for 'Qingyi Commercial Street'......
There are 4 large stores on both sides of Qingyi Commercial Street, all of which reach about 6 floors. According to different consumption levels, there are 'Hongxing Kailong' furniture city, 'Daxingma' department store, 'urban style' entertainment building, and 'millennium city' of luxury clothing. Although the apocalyptic winter has shattered those giant and fancy neon plaques, it is still magnificent.
The Brilliant Base Car consumed extra fuel, reversed along the 8-lane road, crushed countless high-level zombies, and used the rear of the car to directly penetrate the main entrance of the building, like a passage, connecting He Hao and others into the 'Great Star Horse' department store. This avoids the invasion of zombies on the block.
However, the number of high-level zombies in the mall is also very staggering, and the store on the first floor alone is crowded with hundreds. When they found that the Brilliant Base Car had broken through the gate, they rioted, crashing endlessly into the hull, slapping and exploding.
Everyone saw all this through the surveillance video outside the car body, and they all made difficulties, although the car body is a closed structure, which can teleport everyone out, but in this corpse tide, it is impossible to survive at all!
He Hao thought for a moment and asked Lao Wangtou, "There is no problem driving the Rhino heavy armored vehicle, right?" ”
"It's easy!" Lao Wangtou gestured and said, "Don't forget, I have worked in the military auto repair factory in Chenguang." ”
So, after He Hao and the others were assembled, they were teleported to the tail cabin of the base vehicle and boarded the Rhino heavy armored vehicle. With the double metal doors at the rear of the car, they open. It was dropped directly out of the base car.
"Boring and Boring ......" half-tracks, the power pack of the half-tire makes a screeching sound when driving on smooth marble floors. The sight of a heavy armored vehicle rampage inside the mall is terrifying. It is like a wheat scythe, crushing those high-level zombies one after another, although it can't crush them all, but it is enough to make their lower bodies incapacitated.
Because He Hao and others have limited firearms and ammunition, they can only clear the obstacles of the corpse group through this way of crushing.
In addition, He Hao poked the big blade out of the shooting hole, and used the power when driving to cut and kill the zombies on both sides of the body.
Xiaobei used the lookout hole to make up a few shots with a 4.45mm pistol from time to time to attract those zombies wandering in the upper floors. The effect was extraordinary, and the zombies on the 1st underground floor and the 2nd to 3rd floors above ground rushed down one after another, and then were run over to the ground by armored vehicles.
Yin Xiao silently observed the surrounding environment, noting where there were high-level zombies that could not be moved, so as to avoid being attacked by them. And keep an eye out for the terrible xenomorph zombies - fortunately there are none in this store, which can be called a blessing in misfortune.
I don't know how long it took, but the marble floor on the first floor of the mall was actually dyed dark brown. Even everyone in the carriage smelled a strong smell of corruption, and the flesh of the zombies made the ground extremely slippery. Even the rut marks after the track is turned are clearly visible.
Even more terrifying than these is the entire mall, which reverberates one after another with the roars of zombies, strong or weak. Endlessly. Because the armored vehicle was simply not enough to crush all the hundreds of high-level zombies. At least half of the high-level zombies are still alive. But they're all half-body bodies that can't move, or there's only one head left, croaking weirdly......
After seeing most of the threats removed. He Hao hung a walkie-talkie on his waist and jumped out of the armored car first. In order to search for supplies, he gave up the use of the Thousand Killing Blade, and chose a lighter cold steel machete, with one hand and one hand with two wielding, to kill those who crawled on the ground; Or the guy who can't move but is still alive, chopping up his head. Although the skulls of high-level zombies are harder, under the terrifying power of the mechanical arm, it is not too difficult.
Raven uses the sonic survey on the robotic arm to continuously explore the high-level zombies hidden in the surrounding area. When a dangerous situation is discovered, it will be suppressed by He Hao through gravity. It is up to Becky to use a pistol, or Yoon Hyo to use a crossbow. Shoot them in the eye, smashing them directly into their brains.
As for the old king, he held another walkie-talkie tightly and was on standby at any time. Respond to more urgent emergencies.
In the days before the battle, they sharpened a rare tacit understanding. He Hao is in front, Xiaobei is in the middle, and Yin Xiao is behind. Back-to-back in a three-pointed star slowly propulsion. But their firepower is limited. When he only advanced to the corridor in the mall, Xiaobei's 24 bullets were empty, and you must know that this is the entire ammunition of He Hao and the others. So she was forced to take out the military thorn on her waist and carry out simple defense and observation. Yin Xiao used a crossbow, and the steel arrows shot could be recycled, but due to the tight time and the great pressure on his nerves, he had less than 20 of his original 45 left.
In order to ensure the safety of everyone, He Hao does not plan to continue to advance. Collect the materials directly from this corridor.
