Chapter 9: Level 6 Infection
Zhang Shuo drove a pickup truck through the toll gate on the south side of the K191 abandoned city and entered the industrial zone on the outskirts.
Suddenly, a "roar" caught Zhang Shuo's attention.
The factory building in front of it collapsed, and a three-story "giant" rose from the rubble, barely recognizable as a "human form", as if it had been skinned, covered in blood red, and black blood vessels were clearly visible. Its arms are as long as its body, and it is dragged directly to the ground. The left hand was as thick as a giant hammer, and the right hand was a fleshy vine whip that was "scattered" into a dozen vines, and a huge heart on the chest was exposed, still beating "plopping". The most terrifying thing is its face, the left half of its face is only black and rotten flesh, the right half of its face is still rolling with red liquid, it is impossible to tell whether it is blood or something else, and there are rags of clothes hanging between the yellowed teeth, obviously left by food-
The giant, which was nearly ten meters tall, walked between the buildings, and soon spotted the pickup truck being chased by the mutant beast, and chased after the modified pickup truck with huge steps.
"Fuck me!" The calm Zhang Shuo couldn't help but curse, he never thought that he would be so unlucky and run into a level 6 infected person - "giant corpse"!
Infected people feed on humans and mutant beasts, and unlike gene hunters who inject genetic enhancers extracted from mutant beast genes, infected people directly absorb mutant beasts' enhanced genes into their bodies by eating. Therefore, in addition to absorbing the enhanced genes of the mutant beasts, they also absorbed alien viruses, thus becoming "monsters".
The combat power of the level 6 infected "giant corpse" is equivalent to a lv6 killing-level mutant beast!
"Damn it!"
Soon, the modified pickup truck was chased by the giant corpse, and its huge heavy fist smashed down, Zhang Shuo made a sharp turn to avoid the falling fist, and smashed into a building next to him and was directly smashed down. Flying rocks crashed into the converted pickup truck with a thudding sound, but fortunately the rocks of this size didn't tip the car over. But in order to avoid the pursuit of the giant corpse, Zhang Shuo made a sudden brake, turned around and rushed between the feet of the giant corpse.
But Zhang Shuo obviously underestimated the agility of the giant corpse, only to see it quickly turn its body, and the vine-like right-hand "meat whip" instantly tied up the modified pickup truck, Zhang Shuo pressed several switches in the cab, and several round chainsaw blades popped up at the front and rear ends of the pickup truck, rubbing on the meat whip of the giant corpse and making a piercing sound, and did not cut off these "vine meat whips" that were only arm thick.
"Hold on to the steering wheel!" Zhang Shuo shouted at Tang Rou, then stepped on the accelerator and got out of the window, the hunter's glove popped out of the muzzle and fired at the "palm" position of the giant corpse.
But the bullet seemed to have entered a quagmire, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Poof—"
Suddenly, a "meat whip" burst out from under the car body and struck Zhang Shuo's back, piercing his left shoulder, leaving a fist-sized blood hole.
"Ahhhh
Zhang Shuo took the hunter's glove and shot at the "meat whip" that penetrated his left shoulder, and the "meat whip" quickly retracted, but Zhang Shuo's left hand didn't even have the strength to lift up, if it weren't for the willpower and physical fitness of the genetic hunter who was much stronger than ordinary people, he would have passed out because of the severe pain.
"Poof—"
The chainsaw behind the modified pickup truck sawed off a "meat whip", and the car was somewhat deformed due to the squeezing of more than a dozen "meat whips", and after breaking off a "meat whip", it was actually "squeezed" out.
Tang Rou hit the steering wheel, and the modified pickup truck crashed directly into the factory.
"Are you alright?"
Zhang Shuo replied a little weakly: "It's okay...... Don't stop, ...... from here Wear it out and talk about it! ”
"Boom-"
There was a loud bang, and the left arm of the giant corpse swept past the top of the factory, and the ceiling of the factory was completely torn down. The collapsed wall hit the modified pickup truck, and then the "meat whip" and heavy punches fell again into the factory, and the "meat whip" hit the modified pickup truck directly, and the car was lifted and rolled continuously by the strong force, and finally crashed into a cloud of rubble.
"Ahh
Tang Rou's left arm was scratched by the raised metal, and blood flowed down his arm, and then looked at Zhang Shuo, who was also hit on the head and bled out.
Tang Rou pushed open the door with all her might, trying to drag Zhang Shuo down from the main driver's seat. The wall on the side of the factory collapsed, and the giant corpse walked in with steps, and through the large hole in the ceiling, he saw the head of the giant corpse with a large mouth of blood, hideous and terrifying-
Regardless of the danger of collapse around him, Tang Rou finally dragged Zhang Shuo out of the car with all his might, helped him, endured the pain, and walked towards the safe passage of the factory-
The giant corpse hurried after him.
"Hold me tight!" Zhang Shuo gritted his teeth and whispered to Tang Rou, after she hugged herself tightly, her left hand was raised, and the hunter's glove ejected a flying claw to shoot forward, building the exterior wall of the factory building, and then quickly contracted and pulled Zhang Shuo and Tang Rou over.
By inertia, Zhang Shuo and Tang Rou rolled into the entrance of the underground parking lot on the side of the factory, and the giant corpse lost its target and vented its anger on the factory building, and in just a few minutes, a large three-story factory was destroyed by the giant corpse and turned into a ruin. Fortunately, at this time, Tang Rou helped Zhang Shuo to enter the underground parking lot.
Zhang Shuo injected a potion into his body, and the wound began to heal rapidly. Taking advantage of the destruction of the giant corpse like a headless fly, the two found a car that could still start in the underground parking lot, drove the car, and rushed out through the other exit of the underground parking lot.
Seeing that the giant corpse was still destroying in the rear, he obviously didn't notice that Zhang Shuo and the others had "drilled" out from the other end, and took advantage of the opportunity to drive the car all the way to the extreme and drove away from the industrial area.
Zhang Shuo's modified pickup truck was destroyed, and a lot of food and supplies on the truck were gone. There were still several days left before returning to Yaoguang City, and Zhang Shuo had to think about food. And the most important thing is that Tang Rou's injury is not light, she must find a hospital and find some medical supplies to deal with it, otherwise whether the injury is aggravated or infected, it will kill her.
Zhang Shuo recalled the route before K191, found an abandoned town, and took advantage of the night to try his luck in the town's hospital.
The town was supposed to be a small base in the past, with a lot of fortifications built around the perimeter, and although it was not as good as the "high walls" of the six major cities, it was able to keep small mutant beasts out. However, it may have been discovered by a large mutant beast, which led to the destruction of the town. However, according to the surrounding environment, the degree of abandonment is not as good as that of K191 abandoned city, and it has been abandoned in recent years. Therefore, there should still be a lot of resources left in the small town hospital.
Bypassing the low-level mutant beasts as much as possible along the way, paying attention to preventing the sudden appearance of the infected, Zhang Shuo and Tang Rou came to the town hospital in the center of the town.
After Zhang Shuo and Tang Rou entered the hospital, while guarding against the surprise attack of mutant beasts, they rummaged through and picked up all the way, but in fact, they didn't find anything good, after all, it was just a small town hospital, and there weren't many good things, not to mention that it was a place that had been looted many times by survivors in the last days. Although the resources of the small town hospital are very few, it is not small, with three six-story main buildings, and it is not easy for Zhang Shuo and his wife to find a laboratory in it.
Zhang Shuo continued to walk around the hospital building, searching for more common life-saving drugs such as cephalosporin, amoxicillin, norfloxacin, etc., and kept a close eye on the wind and grass around him. Although the mutant beasts enter a dormant state when night falls, and their threat can be ignored, it does not mean that all infected people can be ignored, especially in the dark places in the building, there will definitely be nocturnal species to dodge.
After searching the second floor of the main building, he still didn't find the location of the laboratory, at this time, Zhang Shuo suddenly heard a burst of gunfire outside, looked out the window, and saw a group of people dressed in tatters on the street, holding very basic guns and weapons, fighting against a large group of infected people, and retreating while fighting, retreating towards the hospital.
"That's bad luck." Zhang Shuo frowned, if this group of people fought like this, there would only be more infected and mutant beasts attracted to it. It seems that we must hurry up and find medical equipment, otherwise when a large number of mutant beasts gather in the hospital, it will be a question of whether they can get out.
As for saving them?
Zhang Shuo didn't even think about it.
Finally, the two found the laboratory on the fourth floor, which contained a lot of medical equipment and some basic medical equipment, Zhang Shuo had dealt with all the large and small injuries he had suffered over the years, and with some experience, he quickly helped Tang Rou deal with the wounds.
As a senior researcher, Tang Rou is naturally no stranger to extraterrestrial viruses and knows how to deal with them. So with the help of the medicine Zhang Shuo brought on his body, he borrowed the medical equipment in the laboratory to make a simple protective treatment for his wounds.
The two came out of the laboratory and saw that the scavenging team had entered the area of the main hospital building, and most of the Level 3 infected people were blocked out of the main building.
Zhang Shuo carefully observed the scavenging team from the window.
There were ten people in the team.
Eight men and two women.
