Chapter Twenty-Five: Forced

This time, no one objected, and all of us ran frantically with our legs as if we had been electrocuted as if we were fleeing the approaching flood. Zhang Xiaoying, who reacted quickly, first shot down the two closest mutants on the roof of the car, and then followed the old wolf hysterically in an unknown direction with us.

A mutant appeared at the corner of the street on the left, and a rickety figure wandered around the corner on the right, and there was a roar of hunger from behind, and the road ahead was far from end. Dense foliage crushes most of the city's familiar buildings, and intricate branches transform the otherwise orderly streets into an endless labyrinth. The streets became quite muddy after the heavy rain, and we kept falling down on the way, but we didn't have time to get up and get up without taking care of the injuries, and we couldn't stop for a moment!

We don't know how long we have been running, but we seem to have come to a construction site, and we can vaguely make out the abandoned construction buildings around us, the buildings that have been crushed by heavy foliage before they are finished, and the huge steel pipes suspended by cranes hanging above our heads. As I passed underneath it, I was a little worried that the thing would suddenly fall and crush us into meat sauce, but luckily we all made it through the shadow of the behemoth.

"How did so many mutants pop up all of a sudden?" In fact, I also understand that when I ask the old wolf this question, he can't give an accurate answer, and I say this more to complain.

Unexpectedly, the old wolf gave a more reasonable explanation. "I guess your gunfire drew these guys."

Maybe it's really like he said, if that's the case, then I'm really the one who is the big sinner of this operation. I was still thinking about it, and there was another fall at the back of the line, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be the guy who was holding a gun at me and arguing with the old wolf to go back.

The mutants moved much faster than I had expected, and it didn't take long for the man to fall before he saw several mutants come to him. The man fired a few shots in a panic, narrowly killing one of the mutants, but then the two quickly approached him, and the idiot had all his bullets. The empty gunfire was as desperate as his helpless gasp, and one of the mutants was about to pounce on him, and an arrow shot straight at the mutant who had almost completely overwhelmed the poor worm.

With such accurate and timely shooting, there is absolutely no second person except Zhang Xiaoying. I didn't have time to think of anything more to praise her, so I rushed forward and shot the head of the mutant who was following her, picking up the man whose legs were limp and still collapsed to the ground. I don't know how seedless this guy is, just a few steps and stumbled to the ground, I was about to help him stand up, but suddenly another mutant pounced on me, pushing me away, as if he was reclaiming the prey that should belong to him, he didn't care about my existence at all, and he wanted to take a bite directly on the man's neck.

The man screamed and flailed his limbs and struggled, but we all knew it didn't help, and by this time more mutants had arrived, and they were like a pack of hungry jackals, tearing the man apart alive. One second I could hear his wail, the next I could see blood splattering, and the moment the mutant tore apart the man's hands and feet like a rag doll, and twisted his head, I could still feel that he was still alive, but in the blink of an eye he was a puddle of flesh, and the bloody head was pulled out of the spine and shook in front of us.

As I felt a pang of discomfort from the bloody impact, my stomach and intestines immediately reacted normally to humans; The rest of the teammates seemed to have vomited a lot. I hadn't had time to do that at this point, though, and I could feel the disgusting liquid reaching my throat, but the mutant's glance at me not far away made my legs kick away from the dirt on the ground, trying to escape the damn demon. The others noticed the anomaly and called me out, but the fact was that close enough for me to escape, and soon I would be a second meal for the mutants. The mutants dropped the uneaten pieces of meat and came greedily towards me.

I fired two shots at the two most greedy mutants, then I turned around and ran up, one of the mutants was right behind me, it was trying to pull me down with its teeth and claws, I could even feel its fingers scraping my coat jacket, once, twice, the third time I only felt my neck being strangled hard, and my body that had lost its center of gravity immediately leaned back, and the almost skeleton grimace appeared upside down in front of me from top to bottom! I closed my eyes, pulled my neck down, and slammed the gun into its head with both hands, pulling the trigger at the same time, and with a bang, my ears buzzed, and when I opened my eyes again, the mutant's head flipped backwards like a piece of rotten flesh that had exploded, but at the same time, I was lying on my back on the mud.

I could see the mutants coming towards me like a tide in the eyes of my head, but at this time I could only hear a hazy sound in my ears, and I was able to look up at the gray sky with a full view as I lay on my back, the only fly in the ointment was that the large steel pipe hanging in the air blocked a piece of the sky, but this did not prevent me from appreciating this dark, cold but nostalgic sky. At this time, I couldn't escape the hungry hands of the swarming mutants, and I closed my eyes in despair, and the desolate rain kept beating against my body......

The earth shook violently, I suddenly opened my eyes, only to see a fireball suddenly explode in the sky, like fireworks in a festival, the steel pipe hanging in the air fell in the firelight, and smashed not far above my head, splashing mud blood and violent shock made me unable to open my eyes at all, and the shock wave from the huge impact even pushed me back a few centimeters. There was a pain in my head, and even though I knew it was intact, it still hurt me.

I barely opened my eyes, and dimly saw a man holding a steel gun in one hand that was fiery and fiery in the other, reaching out to me to pull me up. I didn't think much of it, I just reached out and grabbed the man's strong hand, and my eyes straightened. The man's broad shoulders held me and him back steadily, and there were still two or three remnants of mutants in front of him, and the man holding him put down his gun, bandages hooked the gun to prevent it from falling, and the man skillfully pulled out an axe hanging from his trouser leg, and the switching action was almost completed in a second, followed by his swift axe kick at the mutant, and the chasing mutants fell to the ground one by one. And he didn't fight, pulling me back to our team at a hurry.

After a faint noise, I finally regained my hearing. "We have to get out of here as soon as possible."

This familiar sound made me look up at its owner, and I saw a friend who I had been so kind to and at the same time made me feel safe. "Thank you...... Xie Tao? ”

"Hey, bro, long time no see." Xie Tao smiled at me, he was still as kind as before, but a scar on his left cheek also told me that it was not easy for him to be a while, "Let's get out of here first, and we'll talk about it later." ”

Zhang Xiaoying helped Xie Tao to support me, and at the same time gently patted his shoulder with her hand, and Xie Tao also nodded to her. The old wolf also saw the relationship between the three of us, so he accepted Xie Tao with confidence without saying much, and urged us to speed up and leave the construction site that had already made a big fuss from us.

However, at this moment, a bus horn sounded from nowhere, and a bus that had been modified with protective nets and iron plates broke through the iron fence of the construction site with the roaring sound of the engine and stopped in front of us. From the hole that was broken by the car, you can see that there are still a large group of mutants gathered outside, and they can't wait to pour in from the collapsed iron hole.

I was stunned by what happened. I saw a sturdy middle-aged man emerge from the roof of the bus, he held a black iron pipe similar to the RPG bazooka used by terrorists in the movie, and shot a "cannonball" with white light at the mutant group outside the guardrail, the deafening roar was like a high-altitude thunder that sounded again in the torrential rain, the white light exploded in the air, and the shining white light illuminated the entire block where the construction site was located into daylight, and the man on the roof of the car immediately got back into the car, At this moment, my skin suddenly felt a burst of warmth, and the air around me seemed to rise at this time, and although the white light above the guardrail of the construction site was dazzling, I could still vaguely see many small particles like small meteorites wrapped in raging flames sprinkled throughout the street.

The air was filled with the stench of scorched animals, and the white light lasted for a few minutes before it dimmed and extinguished, and the howl outside the guardrail gradually died away, replaced by the small explosions of the flames and the sound of something collapsing from time to time after the flames were burning.

"Oh my God......" mutants burned to charcoal in an instant, and none of us felt joy, but an inexplicable fear.

"Damn." Xie Tao scolded to himself.

The front door of the bus opened, and three big men in leather jackets walked out of it, all of them holding various weapons in their hands, and then a short, stocky and dark-skinned little man walked out, but this person did not look simple, it should be the head of these people, and the Han sword he wore around his waist was somewhat familiar. Wei Hong once said that he and Yu Heng had encountered the bikers, and he heard that his sword had also fallen into the hands of these bandits.

"It's a biker." The old wolf whispered to us the identity of the other party, and at the same time signaled us not to act rashly, "That dwarf is Li Sicai, who is known as the Heavenly King, this person is a madman, don't talk nonsense." ”

The teammates all nodded to keep their composure, but Xie Tao seemed a little impatient, he clenched his axe, clenched his teeth, and the swollen green tendons on his head were faintly visible. I have also heard the name Li Sicai from Yu Heng and Wei Hong. They say they almost got toyed with the bastard at the time, but then they cleaned up the bastard and his bikers with the people of Egami, and it seems that the gang is back again.

"Oh, hey, it's an old wolf, I didn't expect to meet Brother Xing here, Wanxiang City is good lately?" Li Si, who was in charge of the situation, spoke first.

"Everything is fine, I'm really embarrassed to let the king miss it." The old wolf put away his worries and smirked.

"It's not a matter of worrying, it's just that I saw that the old wolf you were still taking people out to find supplies in this bad weather, and I thought something happened to Wanxiang and there was a shortage of supplies. The scavengers really live up to their reputation. Li Sicai seemed to know not only the old wolf but also the affairs of Wanxiang City, he walked back and forth unhurriedly, and deliberately waved the sword in his hand like showing off.

I remember hearing Liu Yijing say when I was in Wanxiang City that the reason why she appeared in the university town before was because she had to negotiate an alliance with the bikers there, in fact, there was not much need for the two security zone forces on both sides of the city to unite, but later Liu Yijing told us that the reason why Zhang Xing wanted to get closer to Li Sicai was because the bikers were the only forces they knew that knew how to travel to and from the dead city forest. This is thanks to the remodeled buses and white phosphorus bombs, as well as the safe routes they have developed in the forest. We all witnessed the terrifying power of the white phosphorus bomb just now, and as for whether they really have a so-called safe route, I think the fact that they can be here in such gloomy weather conditions is the best proof in itself.

The old wolf didn't take Li Sicai's words, so the so-called king of the Speedbike Party was able to continue: "I don't want to embarrass Brother Xing's people, although I had a little accident with your people last time, but I guess Brother Xing shouldn't be counted by a lot of adults, right?" Well, let's get down to business. You guys have a guy I want, and I can't hide that he killed four or five of my brothers, so I've been chasing him here for a day today just to catch him. Since he is here with you now, I think it is better for you to hand him over, I also owe Wanxiangcheng a favor, and we can discuss it next time we talk, how about it? ”

One person killed four or five people? This is definitely not a difficult thing for a special soldier like Xie Tao, in fact, I am a little surprised, why didn't Xie Tao solve Li Sicai together? But in retrospect, if you guessed correctly, in order to save me just now, the iron pipe that fell from the crane cable that Xie Tao detonated may have been a trap set to eliminate Li Sicai's bus.

The old wolf thought for a moment, and suddenly turned his head to look at me, and I knew from his eyes that he was helpless and helpless. "No problem." The old wolf smiled lightly, raised his pistol and pointed it at Xie Tao and said to him, "I'm sorry, friend, I want to ensure the safety of my people." ”

"Fart!" Before Xie Tao could speak, he didn't expect Zhang Xiaoying to draw his bow and warn the old wolf first, "Don't let anyone want to touch him!" ”

As soon as Zhang Xiaoying's words fell, a man with a scumbag face standing next to her raised a machete to her neck and said in the same stern tone: "Miss, I advise you not to do this." ”

"Oh, really?" I wouldn't allow anyone to threaten Ms. Zhang, although that rarely happens.

In order to prevent the threat of being threatened with weapons again, I faced each teammate as much as possible, holding the Bonelli shotgun that Xie Tao gave me at the guy who threatened Zhang Xiaoying. The rest of our team didn't dare mess around, because they all knew what would happen if they were hit by my shotgun. Our infighting was just an interesting show for Li Sicai, who leaned against the car door with great interest and watched our teammates fight each other, just waiting to reap the benefits.

After being silent for a few seconds, Xie Tao suddenly dropped the axe in his hand, turned to me and smiled: "Huang Weizheng, put down the gun, you don't need to do this." ”

"But ......"

"Trust me." Xie Tao tilted his mouth slightly, as if hinting at me something.

I had no choice but to put down my gun as he said, and the others laid down their weapons with them. Xie Tao took off the strap of the rifle, dropped the gun, and walked towards Li Sicai with his head held high. The arrogant Li Sicai triumphantly motioned for his men to subdue Xie Tao, but Xie Tao's stride was so great that when he walked almost a few steps away from Li Sicai, the few simple-minded guys with developed limbs approached him. At this time, Xie Tao suddenly took out a grenade-like thing from behind his waist, which frightened everyone and jumped backwards as if they stepped on electricity. But Xie Tao was already standing by the bus door, and the bikers were all staring at the grenade in his hand with trepidation, threatening him not to move.

"You, you, what the are you trying to do? Stand still! Li Sicai gave the order, and the bikers all drew their weapons and faced Xie Tao, but only two or three of them had guns, and the others were just brandishing knives and sticks for a show.

"Don't move? Hehe, with the distance between me and you and the gunpowder on this car, as soon as I let go, everyone is done.

Li Sicai trembled and pointed his sword at Xie Tao and said, "You dare to threaten me?" ”

"What do you say?" The well-trained Xie Tao was of course not intimidated by this level of warning, and he smiled confidently, "What about threatening you to take me?" ”

"I ...... I ......"

Li Sicai, who was out of order, was stumped, and Xie Tao immediately continued to shout: "Let my friend go!" ”

"Good, good!"

Li Sicai was desperate and had no choice but to do so. Only then did he walk out of the car, and it was also a figure I was familiar with-Ban Zhiyu. It really made me laugh and cry, I never thought I would be in such a hellish place and in this situation to reunite with my friends. Zhang Xiaoying was also a little excited, and she was just as excited as I was to watch Xie Tao turn the tide little by little and make the biker bastard embarrassed.

Ban Zhiyu immediately ran towards us after seeing us, they were in ragged clothes like Xie Tao, with bruises and scars of varying degrees on their arms, necks, and faces, but at this time we had no time to greet each other, and everyone's attention was on the confrontation between Xie Tao and Li Sicai.

"Well, I did what you asked, what do you want now?" Li Sicai pleaded impatiently.

Xie Tao didn't speak, he turned his back to us, so I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I saw him make the most heroic move I've seen so far, the right hand holding the grenade suddenly flicked and just threw it into the bus with the door open. Everyone present stared at the grenade thrown into the car with wide eyes, except for Xie Tao, who leaned sideways, pounced on a biker man, snatched the machete in the hand of this guy and slashed at another person beside him, just as the person's neck was cut off Xie Tao stumbled again, and the guy who was taken away by him before he could react fell on his stomach, and Xie Tao turned his hand and twisted it again, and the pistol in the hand of the person who was hacked to death was just transferred to his hand, and when the last person came back to his senses, Xie Tao had already shot him dead.

The bikers in the bus were so frightened that they all ran out of the car, and some of them climbed out of the window in a panic, and Li Sicai, who was closest to Xie Tao, suddenly jumped to the side, and just wanted to escape, he was injured by Xie Tao and fell to the ground. Everyone, including us, thought that the car would explode in the next second, but they never expected that there was only thick yellow smoke coming out of the car, and a few bikers who didn't have time to run out of the car choked their noses and escaped from the car.

The rest of us rushed forward with a cry of victory, and everyone applauded Xie Tao, completely forgetting that we had almost killed each other just now. All that remains is what to do with this crappy "Heavenly King". I pointed the gun at Li Sicai's head, but instead of pulling the trigger, I asked my partners left and right for their opinions.

"What did he do?" I looked at the old wolf and then at Zhang Xiaoying, Zhang Xiaoying turned his head to look at Xie Tao again, and Xie Tao didn't know what to do.

"You'd better not mess around, my people will definitely settle accounts with Wanxiang City if they know that something happens to me!"

"Shut up!" Zhang Xiaoying stepped on Li Sicai fiercely and stopped the wild words of this hard-mouthed guy who was dying.

"Let's leave it to Brother Xing to deal with." The old wolf finally made a compromise but a decision that we could all accept.

Today's "hunt" is over, but fortunately we are at the edge of the Dead City Forest, and we left the forest not long after the captured bus rammed into us. When we returned to Wanxiang City, it seemed that everyone had gathered, and we stepped out of this heavily armed bus like a group of visitors from outside the world. At the beginning, we had to go through multiple password authentication when we cleared the customs and checked the password, and we were also stopped at the designated location and got off the bus for inspection.

According to the requirements, this special bus was temporarily controlled, the old wolf and I were asked to report to Zhang Xing, Zhang Xiaoying was allowed to take Xie Tao and Ban Zhiyu to the infirmary to check and bandage, and Li Sicai was taken away by four or five guards, but the other team members could finally go home to rest and end this thrilling day as soon as possible, but anyway, our gang can be said to have become famous overnight in Wanxiang City.

After listening to our report, Zhang Xing was unexpectedly happy, and I think it was because we had not only seized the tool he had dreamed of being able to pass through the Dead City Forest, but also captured the leader of the Bikers.

After more than an hour of reporting, Zhang Xing asked the old wolf to leave first, leaving me behind, and after inviting me to sit down, he smiled and said: "Haha, you are really special, not long after we came, we got such a good baby." ”

I lowered my head and smiled, not knowing whether Zhang Xing was praising or belittling me.

"Ah, you brought me good news today, and of course I have good news for you." Zhang Xing sat down beside me, put his arm around my shoulders and continued in a tone that made me feel awkward, "Our great Dr. Lu Huaxiong has developed a vaccine for the HTS89R virus at noon today. ”

"Really?" I was pleasantly surprised.

"That's right, which means you'll soon be able to save your friends with the vaccine!" Zhang Xing's smile let me know that he hadn't finished his sentence, and after a short pause, he continued, "However, there is one more thing I want to ask you to help with. ”

"Well, go ahead, I'll do my best." Do I have any other choice? If I don't say that, everything about vaccines will be none of my business.

"I love to hear that." Zhang Xing smiled with satisfaction, moved his body and sat down on the coffee table in front of me, stared at me with his head down, and whispered in a mysterious tone like a ghost story, "I heard that your friend claimed to be carrying a virus research document on the front-line troops who handled the virus in Qingshan. It's as if his secret mission is to hand this over to someone who can research a vaccine......"

Zhang Xing's tone implied that he knew more than he heard me say it with his own ears, in other words, what I had said to him before was not enough to convince him.

"I see, I really don't know." I did my best to restrain the unrest in my heart, and looked directly into Zhang Xing's eyes, hoping to make him believe what I said. I really don't understand what Du Yuheng is thinking! Could it be that this kid can't wait for someone to beat him up?

"I've also heard that you have a good relationship with that friend of yours; Of course, if you are willing to come to Wanxiang City for him, I think this is very revealing. ”

"Yes, I have a good relationship with him."

"So...... Well, I think Huang Weizheng, you are so smart, you must know what I want to say, right? ”

"You want me to help you ask him for that information, right?"

"That's right, that's right, that's right! Haha, it's so easy to talk to you. Zhang Xing smiled nervously, "Na, you have also seen that our Dr. Lu Huaxiong is very capable, if you can get this information for him, maybe he can really develop a vaccine for HTS89, and at that time, you will be the hero who saves the world!" ”

"You're exalting me too much." In fact, I don't deny that Lu Huaxiong has this ability, at least he can produce a vaccine for this subspecies of the virus, it is difficult to say that he is one or two steps away from real success, but at that time, Liu Licheng finally handed over the information to Du Yuheng, which means that Du Yuheng is the only person who has the right to make this judgment. However, when Zhang Xing said this, to put it bluntly, he wanted to exchange the HTS89R vaccine for Du Yuheng's information, besides, he gave me the vaccine first, and there was still room for mediation in the matter of the information.

"Huang Weizheng, how did you think about it?" Zhang Xing still looked at me with a smile with those eyes that I couldn't fathom, and he seemed to be forcing me to give an answer he wanted at once......
