Chapter 162: A Difficult Choice

An American officer pulled out his M1911 pistol from his waist and continued to fight the zombies that pounced on him, as he ran out of ammunition for his main weapon, the assault rifle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But his marksmanship is really good, and the 9mm pistol bullet is powerful enough to break the head of a zombie, and it is also very fierce to fight.

During the retreat, the officer stumbled upon a lone ordinary zombie approaching in a gloomy alley. The giant Ant-Man couldn't handle this kind of surprise attack from the alley, so he stepped into the alley without hesitation, intending to kill the zombie with deep white bone spurs on its body as before.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Three shots in a row all hit the zombie in the face with precision, knocking its head high. However, to the officer's surprise, in the case of three shots like this before, the heads of ordinary zombies should have exploded like watermelons.

However, after the zombie in front of him was shot in the head, his body was only slightly stagnant, and there was not much blood spurting out of the place where he was shot above his head. It was only when it lowered its forehead, which had been raised high by bullets, that the officer realized what was wrong.

Inside the wound on the zombie's face, all three bullets were embedded in a bone shell that shouldn't have existed, resulting in a series of shots that should have broken the head only caused a little skin wound. After resisting the bullet with the subcutaneous bone shell, the zombie activated the adrenaline acceleration and rushed towards the officer at a speed that humans could not reach!

"Damn it!" The U.S. officer was so frightened that he stepped back in half, but the countless lessons from the previous battle had confirmed that he would never be able to escape from these crazy zombies. He had no choice but to raise the M1911 pistol again and calmly fire desperately at the heads of the zombies that rushed up.

"Bang! Bang! ”

The rate of fire of the M1911 was also not ideal for a pistol, and the American officer only had time to fire two shots during the time the zombies were approaching. The kinetic 9mm bullet hit the zombie's forehead twice at close range, but they only broke through the skin, and they were blocked by the extra bone shell that came out at some point, which could only slow down the zombie's advance, and was not enough to kill it.

In the end, the officer was inevitably rushed to the front by the zombie, and was brutally stabbed into the chest with the kinetic energy of two blade-like bone spurs sticking out of the palm of his hand, and then was brutally torn in half.

It wasn't just the zombie in front of the hapless officer that had changed, the entire human coalition in Queens, New York, found that the enemy in front of them had suddenly become much more difficult. It turned out that a large area of ordinary zombies that could be overturned by casual strafing with an assault rifle was now not a single one fell down after a round of strafing. The bullets that should have pierced through the zombies' bodies were blocked by the inexplicable appearance of the subcutaneous bone shells, except for the weak parts of the joints or the continuous fire in the same area, otherwise the light fire weapons began to take these zombies who seemed to have mutated into medieval heavy armor knights.

The giant Ant-Man, who had been in charge of opening the way, also began to feel that something was wrong, and he could have stepped on zombies like a cockroach, but now he had the same feeling as stepping on a snail. It was only a little more effort for him, and it was a complete disaster for the American soldiers under his feet.

"Da Da ・・・・・・"

The M16 assault rifle, which is a conventional weapon of the U.S. military, was constantly firing, and the 5.56mm rifle bullets swept towards the surroundings like a strong wind. But most of the bullets were blocked by this sudden subcutaneous bone shell like body armor, even if the bodies of these zombies were turned into honeycombs, they would not necessarily be able to make them incapacitated, because it was likely that the dense muzzles were all skin wounds.

The most widely equipped light weapons are ineffective, putting the U.S. military at an even greater disadvantage in the confrontation with the corpse tide. A large number of zombies relied on the newly added bone shells to brave the bullets of American soldiers, and then used the high attack speed brought by adrenaline and sharp bone spurs in close combat to bring great casualties.

"Nick, our opponent has evolved again!" Black Widow, who was covering the remnants of the soldiers on the road, sweated profusely to report the situation to the command, and during this time, she used the BFG in her hand to send out the Destroyer Laser to directly destroy the upper body of several zombies.

"Please report in detail."

Black Widow first confirmed that there were no potential enemies around, and then ran to the corpse of the zombie she had just killed, and replied while observing the wounds:

"All zombies have mutated into a bone shell between the skin and muscles, and this bone shell covers almost all over the body. The thickness of the shell is thin, but the hardness and toughness are so great that the 5.56mm rifle bullets we are equipped with are almost impenetrable, and we can only rely on shotgun fire at close range or flamethrowers to effectively kill. Many people have the equivalent of a rod of scrap metal in their hands, and they can't hold on for long. ”

"Is it ・・・・・・ autonomous evolution again?" Nick muttered to himself uneasily, he had had this ominous premonition from the moment he discovered that zombies could mutate into bone spurs, and now that it had indeed come true. The faster the zombies evolve beyond human imagination, the result of delay will inevitably be the demise of the human alliance.

"Sir?" Hill also looked at him worriedly, waiting for Nick to give the order.

Finally Nick made up his mind, sighed heavily, and ordered Hill: "Contact the White House and ask Mr. President for the approval process for a nuclear launch." ”

Once the President of the United States approves the requirements for the launch of a nuclear bomb, then all nuclear weapons in the United States will be in a state of launch readiness, and any nuclear bomb silo can carry out a devastating nuclear attack with the light press of a button by the staff on the operation console.

This may also mean that the United States has no choice.

"Nick, the soldiers haven't evacuated yet." Black Widow continued to cover the retreat of the U.S. soldiers on the road, while reminding Nick on the communicator.

"I understand that we won't launch a nuclear bomb until most of the people are out of New York."

If the person communicating at this time was Captain America, then he would have asked Nick to allow the nuclear bomb to be launched only after all the soldiers had been evacuated. But now the person in the channel is Black Widow, and it is enough for her to be able to save most of them.

Just as Black Widow relaxed her vigilance slightly, a small cloud of yellow sand came to her feet, and before Black Widow could react, a large amount of sand suddenly poured out and swallowed her.
