Chapter 32: Prelude to Calamity

It didn't take long to see hundreds of zombies huddled together in the living area and staggered towards the convoy.

Fortunately, Cortana reminded in time, and everyone who was still cleaning the body was already getting into the car and preparing for battle under the strict requirements.

A few days ago, under the rigorous training, everyone had a preliminary understanding of the use of firearms. Coupled with the good performance of the Rover and the Brave in dealing with the zombies that ran out of the arsenal before, everyone was confident enough to maintain enough composure and not fire indiscriminately in a panic.

The number of corpses is too large and too dense, and it is easy to overturn if you hit it directly. Therefore, Hao Aiguo ordered to use long-range firepower to reduce the number of zombies and break up their formations before attacking with a ramming.

The zombies are currently at a distance of two hundred meters, and no one has fired at them. Because in the case of not particularly excellent marksmanship, the accurate hit of a submachine gun is often at a distance of forty or fifty meters, and it is generally good to throw an incendiary bottle more than twenty meters away, while the target of a pistol shooter is often only a few meters away. So everyone was waiting for the zombies to get close and start firing.

200 m ......

150 m ......

100 m ......

As the zombies approached, Gou noticed that the others seemed to be ready for the battle.

Indeed, for the time being, your side has a great advantage, and if your side takes the initiative to enter a living area where it is difficult for vehicles to pass through difficult terrain and limited long-range firepower, then the battle will be difficult.

It's a pity that this time it was the other side who took the initiative to appear in an open area where vehicles and long-range firepower were superior. And the other party did not switch to the state of running wildly, indicating that the zombie's IQ could not distinguish whether there was someone in the car with strong airtightness, and it did not change at all, and it was estimated that it was only attracted by the noise emitted by the vehicle. Then you can win easily on your side.

90 m ......

80 m ......

The corpses were still approaching, and Gou Ke and many of the shooters began to take aim. Get ready for battle.

70 m ......

60 m ...... Bang! Before the scheduled firing distance had arrived, a loud bang was heard, but it was not the sound of this side firing, but the sound of a bone spur flying from the zombie crowd piercing a brave driver and stabbing diagonally on the back of the front seat.

The shuttered armor on the front window of the brave is designed to prevent moderate and light collisions and zombie scratches, and the defense against this kind of projectile is naturally insufficient, and at this moment it has been knocked off by two pieces, and the broken glass slag from the broken glass when the bone spurs pass through the middle also makes a three-zero pistol shooter sitting in the passenger seat hang.

Before he could react from the blow, three more bone spurs followed, two of which pierced the rover's front wheel and the other took one more survivor.

So it's not a coincidence, it seems that this group of zombies has mastered the means of long-range attack by some means, and has the IQ to understand enough that "there will be people in the car".

Thinking of this, Gou Cao reacted quickly, picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Abandon the car and hide under the car, the window of the brave can't stop the zombies from throwing!" After confirming that the others had done so, Gou asked Cortana to use the drone to find more solid cover for them, while using the rover's front-facing camera to observe the anomalies in the lost group.

After zooming in on the footage, Gou Cao found that the group of corpses was mixed with several zombies with pure black bud-like tissue on their heads, their arms tightly wrapped around the black threads in the arsenal, and bone javelins made of thigh bones, arm bones, or other animal bones on their backs. Javelins are thrown at the convoy every once in a while. Although the other hundreds of zombies did not throw, they also carried several bone javelins, which provided ammunition for the throwing zombies.

However, the search was found, but the lost group stopped sixty meters away and did not get any closer, and Gou Cao tentatively fired a few shots, but could only hit the body part, but failed to shoot a single headshot. On the contrary, he startled the snake, so that several zombie throwers on the opposite side began to quickly change positions at a distance from Liu Shimi, and it was even more difficult to hit.

It seems that the IQ of these zombies has increased quite a lot.

Whoosh, three more javelins. The front wheel, which had just been repaired by the nanomachine swarm, was punctured again.

"Gou Cao, a few days ago, we didn't get enough materials to replenish the rover, and now the stock of materials is not enough, and we can't repair tires anymore if we continue like this." Cortana's reminder came again, making Gou Cao's current situation serious.

"How's the bunker going?" Since the inventory is low and there is nothing to be done to change it, we have to hope to hear some good news on other things.

"Found it, I've checked it with a drone on the command side, it's safe." Cortana replied, "The bone javelin is very powerful, it may not be safe to stay in the car, and the zombies have an advantage in range, so I suggest that you enter the command first and use the terrain to offset the number and range advantage of the zombies."

Although it was a bit counterintuitive to abandon the vehicle and switch to the interior of a complex building, he took the suggestion. After all, only by using the terrain to get closer to the zombie bone thrower can you kill it with a firearm that has a shorter range but is not less powerful.

"It's not a way to hide like this, I'll cover up, you guys run to the headquarters!" Gou Ke shouted into the walkie-talkie, "I'll go over after that." Then let the three shooters in the corridor into the crew compartment and take cover, and drove the rover, whose front wheels were about to die and whose front was hit by several javelins, straight for the lost group.

Seeing the rover coming straight up, the zombie thrower's throw really stopped, and then quickly scattered with the corpse to dodge. The Rover slammed into the air, knocking only a few zombies away at the edge of the pack, and the Zombie Thrower stood still in the distance and began throwing bone javelins at the Rover.

Seeing that the attention of the lost group was attracted by the wanderer, Bai Yutian, who was quick-eyed, took a piece of lightweight material removed from the plane as a shield to block his body, and then quickly ran towards the headquarters, and the others followed suit.

Seeing that the rest of the convoy began to evacuate, Gou Ke turned around and hit the corpses several times, which was not well harvested and consumed a large amount of repair materials that were not in stock. But at the same time, it also bought time for others to run safely to the command.

Seeing the last survivor enter the headquarters, he slammed into the corpse again, and then threw himself into the air again.

But this time, instead of immediately turning the front of the car to hit again, Gou Cao adjusted the rear of the car, sprayed a flour cannon at the corpses, and then detonated it with a Molotov cocktail.

"Boom!" Once again, the flour exploded, and a large number of zombies were ignited.

Although the flour cannon is powerful, injecting flour into the nozzle will damage the nozzle structure, and now there is not enough material to repair it, and there is no way to fire a second shot. Therefore, Gou Cao did not fight again, but took advantage of the loss of the group to fall into chaos and immediately turned the car around and drove to the door of the headquarters. Hiding in the headquarters with several famous shooters in the car.
