Chapter 42: The Heavens Fall Apart
Rumble!
A deafening roar exploded in the sky, and everyone's eardrums hurt.
In an instant, the clear sky was overcast, and the whole earth was dark in two or three seconds, and it was almost impossible to see the five fingers, as if it had suddenly entered the night. Almost without warning.
Thousands of purple-red thunderbolts spread all over the sky, constantly flickering and jumping, and from time to time the thunder light fell, and the earth-shattering thunder made the earth shake, which was completely an apocalyptic scene.
"What's going on?"
"Help-......"
"Help me, my baby is still down there, - woo."
Countless people, countless voices sounded in Ye Gucheng's ears.
As if no one had time to react, the ground shook slightly.
This tremor intensified dramatically in a very short period of time, and the earth continued to crack, and the twists and turns were like hideous and ugly centipedes, quickly spreading all over the earth. As the heavens shook and the earth shook, countless houses began to collapse, and gray-black clouds turned blood-red.
It slowly rotated under an inexplicable force, forming a huge and incomparable whirlpool. Countless thunderbolts quickly gathered in the center of the vortex, and then bloomed into a dazzling light in an instant, covering the entire earth.
This is a great force, before which humanity is as humble and small as ants. The bright light made everyone unable to open their eyes, like the hissing of a thousand poisonous snakes at the same time, and the piercing screams deprived people of their ability to hear.
Everyone lost consciousness at this moment.
I don't know how long it took.
Ye Gucheng regained his ability to think, and his senses gradually returned to his body. His head was very dizzy and painful, and he only felt that the air around him was cloudy and dusty, which made it very difficult to breathe, so he immediately covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and kept coughing and stood up.
I rubbed my eyes and looked around, and my deep eyes reflected this sinful and broken world.
"Doomsday? - You finally arrived as scheduled. "Unspeakable, inexhaustible vicissitudes.
The world has changed. The clouds in the sky have dissipated, and the sky that should have been blue seems to be covered with a layer of light red glass at this moment, with a faint crimson in the blue, which is very weird.
In the 'crackling' sound, the fine stones and sand fell to the ground one after another, the dust in the sky also slowly fell, and the hazy surroundings gradually became clear and clear.
The land was in shambles, full of cracks and debris, most of the buildings had completely collapsed, and they were reduced to ruins, and wisps of green smoke were wafting from afar. The whirring wind was blowing, and the heat was in the face, and it was a little stuffy.
The city is horribly silent.
But then, it was mixed with more horror and screams!
Because the end times are coming, and with them more monsters.
Hide most of your body behind the wall that collapsed due to a car accident, and bombard this sinful world with the light of thunder.
Ye Gucheng squinted, observing the chaos on the streets.
Like in the previous life, at this time, the originally bustling street has undergone earth-shaking changes, the whole street is in chaos, there are vehicles colliding with each other everywhere, and even a few cars are emitting thick black smoke and sparks, and the occasional sporadic gunfire in the distance also adds a bit of gunsmoke.
Arguably the most wreaking havoc on the streets is not the zombies that are chasing the few survivors who have dismembered the corpses, but the vehicles of the humans themselves.
After the complete collapse of the entire Philadelphia traffic after the earthquake was like an earthquake, the fearful and impatient drivers caused more serious physical damage to their vehicles.
Although what Ye Gucheng saw at this time was only the chaos on this street, it was not difficult to deduce that other places were estimated to be in a state not far behind.
If you are still driving in the city at this time, it is completely an act of looking for death.
After the traffic collapsed and all kinds of vehicles caused this catastrophic consequence, the number of zombies that began to proliferate due to the out-of-control infection dealt a fatal blow to this beautiful and fragile city.
The whole street was full of chaos and killing at this time, in order to ensure that only the least nutrients were consumed, the movement speed of the primary zombies, that is, the first-level zombies, was usually quite slow, however, once they found food that could replenish their nutrients, the speed of the explosion could be equivalent to the speed of an adult trot.
The most important thing is that they don't know what endurance is, they only follow their instincts, and as long as the food does not disappear from their eyes, they will keep chasing until the energy in their bodies is exhausted.
Generally, people who are frightened and flee with all their strength will find it difficult to escape the fate of being torn apart by zombies in the end.
Seeing that there was a small turmoil just now, a man who escaped from the stuck vehicle was finally blocked, and then tragically eaten by a group of zombies, Ye Gucheng's pupils began to exude a wolf-like glow.
There was not the slightest expression on his face.
I quietly waited for the opportunity to act on my own.
"Here we are." It was just a few minutes of calm on the street, and when the corpse was almost eaten up at first, Ye Gucheng suddenly flipped out from behind the collapsed wall, and then quickly but quietly moved in the direction of the gun supermarket that he had begun to identify under the cover of nearby vehicles.
At this point, perhaps unable to endure this fear any longer, another broken down car drove away, and this time three people rushed out of it.
It seemed to have been discussed, and as soon as the three of them came out, they quickly ran in three directions, as if they also knew that if they were all gathered together, they would not be able to escape the pursuit, and only after distracting the attention of these madmen could they escape.
However, Ye Gucheng, who was moving towards the target area under the cover of vehicles, road piers and benches, knew in his heart at this time that these three guys with such big movements, even if someone was lucky enough to escape the siege in front of him, there was absolutely no way to last long.
It will only snowball and expand the commotion, but it does provide an opportunity for its own actions.
"Help me! Please, help me! Yes! No! I don't want to die! Oh, damn God...... "One of the three people, after turning left and right, was finally surrounded by those slow-moving, but everywhere zombies, and looking around, he also found Ye Gucheng's ghostly figure, and wailed for help.
Ye Gucheng didn't pay any attention to the sound of help that echoed in his ears, this guy was already a dead man in his eyes, and if he had the ability to save people, he would uphold justice, and if he didn't have the ability to save people, he would be overly enthusiastic, and Ye Gucheng didn't think that his sense of justice was too strong.
In the previous life, in a similar outbreak, in order to survive, all kinds of ugly sides of human nature broke out, and it was not uncommon for the rescuer to be framed by the rescued as bait.
Feeling the terrible screams and curses in his ears, as well as the faint sound of gnawing, Ye Gucheng, who was in a state of movement, was also soaked with strenuous exercise and sweat.
"Fortunately, the location is not bad, and God helped me." Bypassing a junior zombie hovering beside the vehicle, Ye Gucheng, who quickly retracted into a corner to rest for a while, was also slightly relieved at this time.
For these zombies similar to the dead bodies in the Celestial Empire movies, the ability to capture hearing and smell is greater than that of vision, and their visual perception cannot be said to be degraded, but the response to vision is somewhat similar to that of frogs, which will have the urge to prey on moving objects, and at the same time use their sense of smell to distinguish whether they are 'fresh'.
"Roar~!"
"Run!"
"There are zombies out there, too!"
In the midst of a burst of shouts, Ye Gucheng's eyes instantly became vigilant.
Dozens of men and women rushed towards Ye Gucheng's position, and the fastest ones had already entered the houses on the back street. Ye Gucheng looked at the people who were still running, and saw a black figure following this group of men and women, approaching quickly.
"Zombies!" As those zombies approached, Ye Gucheng's eyes shrank suddenly.
"Help~!" At the moment when Ye Gucheng was distracted, a girl in high heels in hot pants fell to the ground.
"Squeak~! "I don't know if it's excitement or what, the zombie in the chase let out a high-pitched scream. Then the first zombie rushed to the girl in high heels.
Then the second, then the third...... Naturally, a group of zombies quickly joined the feast. In the chaos, the girl's voice had long since disappeared, and Ye Gucheng vaguely saw a white thigh flashing in the zombie crowd.
Subsequently, it vanished. After a few moments, the zombie chased after the crowd in front of them again. All that remained was a blood-stained black heel in a pool of blood, glowing in a round of eerie light in the bleak moonlight.
"Ah~~! Yes~! The short shout struck again, and Ye Gucheng only had time to glance at it. A black, shiny bald head drowned in the zombie horde.
One, two.......
Ten, twenty......
The people who were still struggling for their lives in the distance gradually fell into the zombie horde, and all of them died without exception!
"There's still about a hundred meters, tsk~, it's really troublesome." After reading everything indifferently, leaning between a knocked down phone booth and the corner of the wall, Ye Gucheng looked at the destination in front of him, and he was also a little nervous.
Not to mention the dozens of zombies that were eating away at the surroundings, the glass wall outside the gun supermarket that was on the verge of collapse was full of bullet holes at this time, which showed that there were many people who had the same purpose as him at the beginning.
Although the United States is a large country with civilians holding guns, there are not many people who carry them with them all the time, and judging from this slightly tragic appearance, there should have been a violent conflict here when chaos broke out.
However, it is precisely because of this violent conflict here that the sequelae brought about it are a headache for Ye Gucheng.
On top of the pile of zombies at the door, I don't know if they are humans or dead bodies, but at this time, there are still many zombies wandering, not attracted by the movement of other places, they should all be attracted by the initial chaos here, after so long, there are still so many can imagine how many will be at the beginning.
Through the calculation of the surrounding obstacles, the distance between the two places, and the approximate speed of their own movement, although they can bypass the part, there are two zombies blocking the door is completely unavoidable, and the zombie group attracted by those people just now is a disaster!
A black man in a bloodstained police uniform, and a blonde white woman in a revealing outfit with visible scratches on her shoulders.
At this time, they are not police officers who maintain law and order or weak women who work in special careers, but dangerous creatures who can strike a fatal blow at any time.
Because as long as you are scratched, you can declare over, and the strength and endurance of pure strength are better, so even if the reaction speed of zombies is much worse than that of normal people under normal circumstances, but an ordinary adult man, in the absence of a firearm.
Dealing with a zombie at the same time with tools such as sticks and rocks is the limit, after all, this thing does not know fear and pain, and can only be solved by vigorously hitting its head or the spinal nerve in the back of its neck.
There are only these two zombies, but Ye Gucheng also has a greater confidence in using the wrench in his hand to poke the other party to death with strong combat methods.
It's a pity that in addition to these two, there are dozens of other zombies nearby, although they can avoid them as much as possible, but once there is a big movement here, they will still attract their attention.
Creating some movement elsewhere and diverting the two could just as well upset the balance of the zombies here, and maybe get worse.
"Yes, maybe it's time to rely on you." Thinking about it, Ye Gucheng took out the storage bag in his arms, and his heart moved.
A dense swarm of silver gold-eating insects flew out and gradually condensed into a silver sphere.
By this time, all the gold-eating insects had hatched, a total of one hundred and eight.
"This time, it's up to you whether you can succeed or not. Enjoy all of you and don't let me down! "As far as Ye Gucheng knows, although the gold devouring insect likes gold stones the most, it has never said that it can't eat humans. What's more, those are zombies who have failed to mutate.
It's just that the "Gold Devouring Worm" is at the top of the list of strange insects, but according to the compilation of that person, its individual ability is very limited, and it completely relies on a huge number to win.
If there are only a dozen or dozens of them, they will not be of much use even when they become adults.
Only when the number reaches hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands, can it really deserve its ranking on the list of strange insects.
Thinking of the scene of countless insects flying and attacking in the air, and killing them all over the place, Ye Gucheng himself felt a little chilled.
Therefore, what needs to be done now is to quickly devour the gold and stone of these gold eaters in the world, make them mature, and then let them give birth to offspring as soon as possible, so that the number can roll up.
But it's easier said than done!
As a strange insect that has existed since ancient times on the list of strange insects, the specific method of breeding and breeding has also been lost to many civilizations.
At present, Ye Gucheng knows that it is just a matter of letting the gold devouring insects devour it at will.
Humans, Stones, Mutant Beasts...... All kinds of demons and monsters in the second plane......
After releasing the gold-devouring insects, Ye Gucheng looked around.
In Philadelphia now, it's not just zombies that threaten their lives, the mobs that are driven to the extreme by fear and force other civilians to be meat shields and bait, and the 'stray dogs' who were responsible for 'detoxification' at the beginning and are now cleaning up the evidence.
So it's easy to say about firearms or something, after all, the chance of getting a real shot is small, but body armor and combat suits, which can effectively reduce bullet damage, as well as damage from scratching the skin of a dead body, are the best to get.
At this time, in addition to the zombies with a high degree of threat, the forces that are active in the vicinity and have greater combat capabilities should be divided into three groups, the 'stray dogs' who destroy the evidence, and the US military garrison in Philadelphia who found that something was wrong and came to rescue and clean up the zombies on a large scale.
The last group is a special team belonging to the special department of the U.S. government, which specializes in collecting evidence and virus samples in a-for-tat confrontation with 'stray dogs', and the last one should be the S.H.I.E.L.D. hired by the White House.
In terms of overall combat effectiveness and numbers, the US garrison in Philadelphia, which has a light infantry division and two marine regiments, is undoubtedly the strongest, with more than 20 attack helicopters and dozens of ordinary helicopters to support it, and the number is also the largest.
However, in Ye Gucheng's memory, this rescue team of the US army suffered extremely heavy losses due to underestimation and ignorance of the situation, and there was no heavy armored equipment on the ground, relying on more than 3,000 foot infantry and a small number of ground troops equipped with M242 25mm machine gun multi-purpose vehicles, but in the end it was almost completely wiped out.
Once a light utility vehicle is surrounded by a horde of zombies, it may also have to be forced to shut down due to power problems.
In particular, when there are mutated second-level zombies among the zombies, that is, destroyers and reapers, it is a disaster!
However, Ye Gucheng also knew that if it weren't for this garrison entering the city and attracting the attention of the vast majority of zombies with gunfire, there would definitely be more than just such a 'few' dead body left on the streets now, Philadelphia is a large metropolis with a very high population density and a total population of more than 10 million.
The sound of "bang" and "bang" came one after another.
Not far away, as soon as the silver spheres condensed by the one hundred and eight gold-devouring insects touched the claws of those zombies, they turned into bits of gold and silver starlight, which seemed to be shattered.
"Roar, roar......" The zombies seemed to hiss and laugh wildly, and then one of the zombies with a greedy face pounced fiercely.
But at this moment, bursts of buzzing suddenly sounded, and the sound became louder and louder, and instantly became extremely harsh and sharp, so that the zombie couldn't help but glance at it curiously.
I saw that those smashed gold-devouring insects came back to life, and turned into hundreds of thumb-sized silver beetles, densely scattered around the zombie, and the screaming sound was the sound of these beetles flapping their wings, which made people extremely frightened.
Ye Gucheng didn't leave any time for the remaining zombies to relax, and immediately his mind moved slightly, and suddenly these gold-devouring insects all rushed towards the zombie like a desperate person, and instantly dyed the zombie covered in blood into silver.
"Roar!"
With a roar, the zombie who was pounced on by the gold devouring worm struggled frantically, and even grabbed a handful of gold devouring worms and swallowed them into their stomachs.
But in the blink of an eye, the zombie changed from large to small at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then from small to nothing, and there was nothing left that was devoured by the gold devouring insects, and then the buzzing sound was loud again.
The mind was transmitted to those gold-devouring insects, one hundred and eight, no more, no less.
"Very well, go on."
Finding that Ye Gucheng, who was fine even if he was swallowed by the zombie, unceremoniously pointed his finger, and the gold devouring insects immediately turned into two small pieces of silver mist, swarming towards the zombies on both sides.
Ye Gucheng, who had seen the power of the gold devouring insect, breathed a sigh of relief.
The mind gave the order to devour the gold devouring insect at will, and Ye Gucheng slowly took advantage of the loophole caused by the gold devouring insect and touched it in the direction of the last two.
"At this time, the monsters have not yet invaded. With those machines, I have the ability to protect myself. Ye Gucheng said confidently in his heart.
