Chapter Fifty-Seven: Encountering a Bug Tide
"Those with protective suits get out of the car to collect parasites, and others are on alert!" Qian Lao ordered loudly, but through the helmet, his voice was very dull.
The convoy has entered the second ring, although the number of zombies has decreased, but all of them are high-level zombies, even if most of them have been killed or disabled, but even if they are seriously injured, there is still a great danger, especially the sarcoma in the back of the head of the third-level zombies is as hard as armor, and it needs to be smashed with an axe before the parasite can be removed, and in the process, if you are not careful, you will be slapped to death by the zombie with a claw.
"Brother Qian, the next stop is the back gate of the Forbidden City, do you want to go in and have a look?" Li Mu said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm just trying to see what happens to those guys who have gone to the Earth Federation, hehe." Boss Qian laughed.
"Well, we'll have to be careful this time, in case those guys blame us for exposing their existence, it's going to be troublesome, hehe." Li Mu said.
"Is it good that you expose them?" Boss Qian rolled his eyes and said.
"Haha......" Li Mu laughed, and was about to speak, but suddenly saw Boss Qian's face change, and shouted, "Be careful!" Everybody get on the bus......"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a "rustling" sound behind him, turned his head to look, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, only to see a two-story antique building on the side of the road flowing a gray-white stream of water, but if you look closely, where is the water? It's a swarm of parasites!
The gray-white and translucent gray-white parasites were densely packed like a layer of flowing water, flowing quickly towards the middle of the road, and before a few team members who were collecting parasites in the distance could react, they were crawled on by parasites that jumped up one by one, and the parasites waved their knives and tore their protective suits, but it was only in vain......
These people with protective clothing are lucky, but those who stay in the car without protective clothing are not so lucky, although the door is closed, but many parasites leap up and jump into the car through the shooting hole, and suddenly there are screams, and some people raise their guns to shoot at the ground, and the scene is a mess......
"Calm down, everyone calm down!" Li Mu shouted, "Don't shoot, drive, crush them!" ”
"Drive, drive quickly......" Boss Qian also shouted, while constantly stomping his feet, stepping on the parasites on the ground, and at the same time shaking off the parasites that crawled on his body.
The vehicle started to move, but the front and rear of the defensive formation were connected, and in a moment of panic, it was a constant collision, and it took a while to sort out the order, and the back and forth were crushed, and the parasites under the wheels suddenly turned into water trails all over the ground.
More parasites were like a tidal wave, heading west down the street, and in a moment they all disappeared into the fog......
"Motor!" Chen Zhe shook off the last parasite on his body, stepped on it to death, and scolded loudly, "Where are so many parasites? ”
"It could be the mother worm." Li Mu said.
"Yes, I found it, haha, let's assemble." Boss Qian shouted.
"Assemble, assemble everyone." An Ran shouted loudly, reorganized the team, and the frightened people reported to the team leaders one after another, summarized them to the captain Chen Zhe, and then Chen Zhe reported to Li Mu and An Ran - all thirty-seven people were fine.
But Boss Qian's side was miserable, among the more than 50 people he brought, there were only twelve sets of protective clothing, and nearly half of the rest were parasites burrowed into their bodies, wailing in pain in the carriage one by one, including Fang Lao Er, who was wearing protective clothing but not wearing a helmet......
"Boss, I'm careless, hehe......" Fang Lao Er smiled with a distorted face, but he forcibly endured the pain caused by the parasites in his body.
"You...... Alas! Boss Qian stomped his foot fiercely, and the face in the helmet was full of chagrin.
"Boss, what should I do?" A veteran asked Boss Qian anxiously.
"Boss, old rules, let's talk about it......" Fang Lao Er was so painful that he couldn't speak.
Boss Qian's face was distorted, he paused, gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, I'm sorry, everyone knows what the consequences of parasites burrowing into the body." Get them out of the car and give them a good time......"
Once the parasite enters the human body, it will complete the transformation within a maximum of half an hour, turning the person into a zombie. And this process is extremely painful, as if the parasite is lost in the human body, it will keep drilling everywhere under the skin, until it reaches the back of the head and will not stop slightly, but once the pain is relieved, the whole person will completely lose self-consciousness after a few minutes, and completely become a zombie......
It is said that in the early days of the last days, many people would choose to commit suicide because they could not stand the pain of the transformation process after being parasitized by parasites. But suicide also has to pay attention to the method, unless it is a shot through the heart, or directly explode the entire head, otherwise the parasite will still wake up the corpse - which is why animals are called insects, and people are called zombies.
Therefore, as long as the parasite burrows into the body, it is equivalent to declaring the person dead. In order to avoid suffering, companions often choose to shoot the infected through the heart with a single shot – this is not called ruthlessness, but mercy......
Regarding Boss Qian's decision, everyone was silent, and some people even tried to pull down the infected person in the car, but Li Mu said: "Slow down." Brother Qian, there is the Forbidden City in front of you, and those soldiers are studying insects and beasts, what can they do......"
"Them?" Boss Qian said hesitantly.
"It's okay to try, it's only a few minutes away, and it's really not possible to send them on the road again......," Li Mu said.
"Okay, second child, bear with me!" Boss Qian didn't care about catching the worm mother anymore, and shouted loudly, "Everyone get in the car and set off immediately!" ”
Everyone hurriedly climbed onto the car and went straight to the direction of Shenwu Gate, and at the same time, the boss of the carriage also arranged for everyone to take off the clothes of the infected person, pay attention to the movement of the parasite under the skin, and if it is close to the back of the neck, slap the skin to stop it, in order to prolong the transformation time......
Li Mu personally drove the heavy truck to open the road, and he didn't feel distressed at all and hit the abandoned vehicles on the road, and rushed to the back gate of the Forbidden City in only three minutes, stopped outside the city gate with a sudden brake, and shouted loudly: "Open the door, we are the corpse hunting team that came here a few days ago, and Captain Qin knows us." Now we have wounded people in the car and need your help to treat them, so open the door and let us in first......"
The machine gun on the shelf of the city gate, there must be soldiers guarding here, Li Mu shouted twice, and only then did a soldier's figure appear on the city tower, and replied that they were contacting Captain Qin, and they had no right to let anyone in before Captain Qin gave the order.
What to do? Break in? The heavy machine gun on the city gate tower is not an ornament, but I am afraid that the heavy truck will not be able to stop the bullets of the heavy machine gun, and according to the craters on the road, it can be judged that they may have grenades, howitzers and other things!
Wait, after waiting for four or five minutes, Li Mu couldn't even help but crash into the city gate directly, but the city gate finally opened, and a jeep was parked behind the gate, Qin Junming sat in the co-pilot's seat and beckoned to Li Mu, signaling them to follow.
Li Mu hesitated slightly, it was not a small risk for the convoy to go in, it was easy to be made dumplings, but it didn't make much sense if he didn't go in, last time he paid attention to the weapons and equipment on the city gate, unless he drove a tank over, otherwise with this modified heavy truck, it would be impossible to rush in to save people. Since this is the case, there is nothing to hesitate about, Li Mu immediately drove up to follow......
