Chapter Twenty-Five: The Lost Refuge
Gray-brown faces squeezed into front of the car window, mouths without flesh and skin revealing yellow teeth, missing noses and eyeballs full of shriveled blood vessels, together formed a natural hideous expression.
The zombies' skin has the texture of dead tree bark, and it resembles solidified slime, covered with hollows of various sizes. Their mutated epidermis clings to their bones, like a swarm of skeletons crawling up in a swamp.
Although the car was crowded with these terrifying monsters, Xuanzang didn't seem to be too nervous, he looked at the zombies who kept banging on the car window, and shouted outside: "Does anyone want to explain the current situation?" ”
The zombies turned a deaf ear to his questioning and continued to pull the car with their non-aggressive hands, trying to get them out.
It seems that the type with a broken brain is also broken, so there is no need to worry about anything. Xuanzang raised his hand and pulled a bracelet next to his head, and after a series of iron wire traction, the harpoon launcher erected on the roof of the car was pulled on.
With a whoosh, the harpoon shot out towards the front of the vehicle, piercing through the bodies of a series of zombies, stirring up a large pile of dull debris!
The zombies along the way instinctively avoided both sides, and Xuanzang decisively stepped on the accelerator, ran over the bodies of several zombies, and broke through in a clatter.
However, the other zombies will not let them go so easily, and a large number of zombies hold the rear of the car tightly with their hands, slowing down the speed of the vehicle.
"I'll go out and settle down." Wukong said, lowered the window, leaned out of the window and turned over lightly, and came to the roof of the car.
He took out the replica phase column from his waist and flicked it, and a fine burst of light flashed through the crowbar's body, changing its physical structure.
The zombies saw him out of the car, roared, and jumped up at the slow-moving car.
Goku swept a stick directly, breaking the arms of several zombies in front of him. Their momentum continued to draw a parabola forward, but in the blink of an eye, their heads were held down by a large hand, and they slammed into the roof of the car one after another, and then rolled down.
The zombie behind jumped into the car, put his hands on Goku's neck, and pulled hard, only to find that the other party did not move.
He screamed blankly, and Goku stabbed him in the stomach with a crowbar and fell over his head under the car.
The car swayed left and right, forcing the zombies blocking on both sides out of the way. Since the speed of the car could not be increased, the spikes attached to the shell did not show much effect. Fortunately, although these zombies are fast, they are fragile, and it is enough to pierce their thin bodies in such a single shot.
Jingliuli, who had been staring at the distance, saw that the figure in the thermal image view was about to leave his sight, opened the trapdoor leading to the rear compartment, and said, "I'm going to chase the fox." ”
"Don't go yet, she won't be able to run far." Xuanzang stopped, "The prism is watching, we'd better not separate and give them a chance to sneak attack." ”
Jing Liuli nodded slightly, and pulled a short lever under his instructions, and the rear of the car suddenly erupted four tongues of fire, causing the zombies who lacked water to instantly turn into several fireballs.
Xuanzang glanced back: "It's clean now." Then he shouted to his head, "Come in, Wukong." ”
The speed of the car finally increased, and the distance between the zombie hordes was widened.
"Goku?" Xuanzang looked at the empty co-pilot and shouted again.
"Wait, there's still something to take care of." Goku looked at the zombie horde farther and farther away, and clearly saw a zombie squeezing through his companion and holding the bazooka to his shoulder.
He unhurriedly touched the chain attached to the harpoon, shook his wrist, and in one fell swoop took the harpoon back from the car, and then unscrewed the chain.
At the same time, a cloud of white smoke erupted in the distance, and a rocket flew out at them.
The next moment, a shadow faster than it flew out, piercing the warhead directly, and intercepting it halfway.
And Goku was already back in the car, and he didn't have to look back to confirm its explosion. "What are those things?" He asked Xuanzang.
"Zombies. Originally, it was a human being, but it was affected by radiation and some kind of anti-radiation drug that went wrong, so it became like this. Some of them have no bad brains, except for being ugly, and for the most part they are quite friendly. As for these, they are supposed to have broken their brains and will aimlessly attack all strange objects that enter their territory. ”
"No wonder you had to ask beforehand. But since the brain is broken, how can there be a person who can use weapons? ”
Xuanzang said: "Although the zombies who fall into a rage have lost most of their minds, they occasionally retain some of their former skills. It seems that the Nine-Tails had planned to lure us here from the beginning. ”
Wukong sneered, "It's not because you're talking too well to her. ”
"It's better to be cheated now than to be cheated again at a critical time. We'll have to teach her a lesson when we get her back. Xuanzang glanced at the gamma ray meter beside his hand and said to Jing Liuli, "Point out the direction in which she disappeared." ”
"Thirty degrees east-north." After Jing Liuli finished speaking, she lowered her head and pressed the controller on her forearm, and a panel popped up, staring at the readings on it, "The radiation value is rising." ”
Xuanzang raised his eyebrows, fortunately, this body has been transformed, and Wukong and Jingliuli are fine. But isn't the Nine-Tails not afraid of radiation?
The car drove to the last spot where the Nine-Tails was witnessed, and Joruri jumped out of the door, his helmet covering his face, and the auxiliary eyes on it quickly turned in different directions.
"Over there." She said as she picked up the gun in her hand and walked over first.
Xuanzang also took an assault rifle and followed closely with Wukong. He cautiously observed the surroundings, hoping not to encounter such a large zombie horde again. The BR-13 assault rifle does not have a high ammunition load, and its performance is not comparable to that of the DYT-2. Although the two companions around him are not a problem to deal with zombies, as a shortcoming in the team, he still has to consider his own safety.
The trio searched for possible traps along the way and moved to a downward slope.
Jing Ruri looked at the pitch-black shadows below through the thermal imaging view and said, "Safe." Then he turned on the tactical flashlight on the power armor and walked down the slope.
At the end was an open, airtight door, and the heavy disc looked badly damaged and dangled to the side. The protective layer at the metal joints has long since fallen off and has been corroded to the point that it is not in shape.
Xuanzang walked to the door, squatted down and grabbed the dust and wiped it on the door, rubbing off the old moss that was dead and dead. “B…… A…… U......" By the light, he could only read a few indistinct letters from the cracked door.
"It looks like a shelter, but the door is broken like this, and there should be no living people." He said to Goku and Joruri.
Jing Liuli looked at the prompt on the internal interface of the helmet and said to Xuanzang: "Mask." ”
"Poisonous gas in there?" Xuanzang said, took out the mask prepared in Shepan Mountain from his backpack, and put it on. With that said, the Nine-Tails fled directly to the place where rare materials could be stolen.
The mask is insulated, and the oxygen can last for about an hour. He asked Jingliuli to set a timer, and said, "Go in, one hour is enough to pull that fox out." Then we'll settle the score. ”
