Chapter 53: The Zombie Siege (4)
Lu Xun adjusted his breathing and heartbeat, slowly moving the field of view in the scope, and the chaos of ruins and rubble passed by his eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was a dead silence all around, and the breath could be heard.
Lu Xun gently pulled the trigger on his index finger, and fine beads of sweat poured out from the bridge of his nose.
"Take it easy." Zhao Gao spoke up, "As a sniper, you have to be absolutely calm. ”
"Hmmm......"
Sniper is a special profession, in the early battlefield there was no special sniper or sniper rifle, but there were some proficient marksmen who took on the task of hunting the enemy accurately, in the street fighting in the city, the value of this type of people was highlighted, they often lurked in the tall buildings or ruins all day long, with a good view to shoot the enemy from a long distance, in order to block the advance of the opposing troops.
Early sniper rifles were simply equipped with optical scopes on top of ordinary rifles, and their accuracy could not be guaranteed, such as Vasily Zaitsev, the most famous sniper of World War II, who sniped more than 400 German soldiers throughout World War II, including the German ace sniper, Colonel Konings, and the Soviet soldier used nothing more than an ordinary Mosina dry rifle.
Later, the US military's special operations thinking really took shape to the profession of snipers, and snipers generally act in teams of two people, one is a sniper and the other is an observer.
Zhao Gao is now undertaking the work of an observer, he is lying on the balcony next to Lu Xun with a telescope, "The temperature is 25...... Southeasterly wind direction...... 29…… Pay attention to the correction of ballistic deviation ......"
"What the hell am I looking at? There are nothing but ruins here...... Not even a single mouse could be found. Lu Xun sighed, raised his head, and glanced condescendingly, the two of them were on the balcony on the third floor, and from this height they could have an unobstructed view of the ruins below.
"Do you remember what I told you?" Zhao Gao was still holding the binoculars, "What is the standard for judging the primary forbidden area?" ”
"Zombie ...... Quantity? ”
"There's also the probability of encountering zombies." Zhao Gao said, "If the probability of encountering zombies in this area is 50 percent, then this is the primary forbidden area...... Do you know how this probability is calculated? ”
Lu Xun was stunned.
"Look around the corner over there." Zhao Gao stretched out his hand and pointed to an alleyway five hundred meters away, "Do you think there are zombies behind that corner?" ”
"This ...... I don't know? ”
"Half the probability." Zhao Gao turned his head and raised an index finger, "If there are a thousand such corners in this city, then there will be zombies after five hundred of them." ”
The L96A1 is one of the world's top sniper rifles, and its performance is no match for the World War II-era Mossiner Dry Rifle, an advanced British-made sniper rifle that can accurately hit the enemy's eyebrows at a distance of 600 meters...... Through the scope, Lu Xun could clearly see the corner, with large black stains on the concrete fence, rusty traffic lights standing next to the wall, faded zebra crossings on the road, a breeze blowing, and plastic boxes rolling over the road from nowhere.
The sun of the near noon was shining overhead, and Lu Xun suddenly perked up, and he saw a shadow appear on the road behind the corner.
Won the lottery! Lu Xun became nervous.
"Relax, you are five hundred meters away from it, and if you want to cross this five hundred meters at the speed of a zombie, you have to climb to the third floor, and the time is enough for us to fight a red alert." Zhao Gao patted Lu Xun on the shoulder, "Do you know why I deliberately chose a sniper rifle?" ”
Lu Xun shook his head.
"It's just for you to observe this thing from a safe enough distance." Zhao Gao said, "Judging from my past experience, if a white person is allowed to go down with a pistol to get up close and personal with a zombie, the first thing they do is often not to shoot, but to turn around and flee." ”
A figure staggered into the field of vision of Lu Xun's scope, and Lu Xun held his breath...... If he hadn't actually seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that this kind of thing would really exist in the world.
A withered man emerged from behind the corner, with dirty strips of rags, his hands and feet as thin as twigs, his skin peeling off to reveal shriveled muscles and veins, and he shuffled down the street, his head bowed, his hair falling down to cover his face.
"Don't look at this thing, it's not standing on its feet right now." Zhao Gao reminded, "But if you get close to it within a radius of thirty meters, it will pounce on you at a very fast speed." The behavior of zombies is very deceptive, and now this snail-like speed is just their actions in their normal state...... If they enter the hunting state, they will explode extremely fast, and many people will die unexplained because of the idea that zombies move slowly...... Do you know crocodiles? ”
"Crocodile?" Lu Xun frowned, what is this unfolding?
"Crocodiles have short limbs, so a lot of people think they can't climb fast." Zhao Gao said, "But in fact, crocodiles can run on land, and the speed is faster than people, many things in this world can not be speculated according to inertial thinking, 'take it for granted' is sometimes fatal." ”
Lu Xun nodded, and put the crosshairs in the scope around the zombie's head.
"Don't rush to kill it yet." Zhao Gao grabbed Lu Xun's hand.
"Not going to kill it?" Lu Xun turned his head and asked, "Do you want to keep this pile of bacon and go back for the New Year?" ”
"We're scientific researchers now, and we're here to study zombies...... It's not an embryo killing like Sanno. Zhao Gao smiled, "You shoot it in the chest and abdomen first." ”
Lu Xun didn't know why, so he had to move down the crosshair, aim at the figure's torso, and pull the trigger.
The deafening sound of gunfire spread through the air, the 7.62 mm bullet warhead rushed out of the muzzle at supersonic speed, and the violent recoil shook the dust on the ground.
It only took 0.5 seconds for the bullet of the sniper rifle to cross the distance of 500 meters, and almost the next moment Lu Xun pulled the trigger, the figure on the road was knocked away, and the shattered body tissue and blood splattered, and it fell backwards to the ground, motionless.
"Dead?" Lu Xun moved his head away from the rifle and looked over.
"Don't worry......" Zhao Gao shook his head, "Look." ”
The zombie that was hit fell motionless to the ground, and the cavity effect caused by the bullet left a hole the size of a bowl in its body, which was enough to completely shatter its lungs and heart, and if an ordinary person was shot like this, he would definitely die on the spot.
The zombie suddenly moved, and it slowly bent its limbs and staggered to its feet.
Through the wound on the thing's chest, Lu Xun could see the dark red tissues and muscles, and the cells that had been shriveled and inactivated had actually begun to replicate and proliferate...... This is a miracle that breaks through the laws of biology, this thing has been dead for decades, and the cells in its body should have died long ago, but the tissues around its wound actually began to proliferate, so fast that the naked eye could distinguish it, and pink granulations began to grow from the dark red muscles, entangled with each other like plant vines, and finally combined into a flesh membrane to cover the exposed wound.
"This ...... This ......" Lu Xun was stunned.
"See?" Zhao Gao was very serious, "This is the recovery ability of zombies, so this thing is difficult to kill." ”
The zombie finally recovered to its original state, it didn't know where the attack just came from, the distance between Lu Xun Zhao Gao and it was too far away, beyond its perception range, and the zombie began to spin aimlessly in place.
"If you want to deprive it of mobility, you can break its limbs." Zhao Gao said, "Remember...... It has to be completely interrupted, so that the limbs are separated from the body, and it's useless like this......"
Zhao Gao raised his hand and shot the zombie's right shoulder, the gunshot wound apparently shattered the latter's shoulder blades and tendons, and the zombie's right arm hung down.
But the amazing recovery began again, and the granulation and fascia emerged from the cross-section of the wound...... It only takes a few tens of seconds for zombies to repair such a gunshot wound.
Lu Xun was taken aback, not only the recovery ability of the zombies, but also Zhao Gao's two hundred and five marksmanship...... He only had a pistol in his hand, but he had just shot him in the shoulder without even aiming.
They are five hundred meters away from the zombies, and this distance is even beyond the effective range of the pistol!
Zhao Gao has always given Lu Xun the impression that he is an out-and-out nervous person, and now it seems that this guy is not just a neurotic...... is still a strong martial arts neurosis, just like Ouyang Feng who finally practiced the Nine Yin True Scripture and caused insanity, although he was crazy, but Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Huang Yaoshi, and Hong Qigong together couldn't beat him.
