Chapter 15: Black Market Merchant
The sky was already dark, but the tide of corpses had not yet arrived, or it was still gathering.
It's obvious.
The smell of corpses in the air Not to mention people with keen five senses like Qin Ge, even other bounty hunters could already smell it, but the walking corpse infected didn't take advantage of last night to attack.
This only says two things.
First, Wu Li, who was able to control the corpse tide, was waiting for more walking corpse infected.
Second, because of the wooden knife, the corpse tide will not have an additional advantage when attacking in the dark.
Qin Ge was standing on the roof of the building at the moment, looking at the southeast of the small city, a thin layer of fog shrouded the small city, so he couldn't see the situation outside, but he could hear the low roar in the breeze, and the corpse tide began to become unstable.
After another half an hour, when the sunlight dispelled the morning mist, the whole world became clearer, and the first thing that appeared in Qin Ge's vision was at least a dozen Type 2 and Type 3 Abomination Bosses with a height of five or six meters, and a Type 5 Abomination Boss with a height of more than fifteen meters, standing outside the small city like a hill.
And that Wu Li, at this moment, was standing on the shoulders of the five-type abomination boss.
Due to his vision, Qin Ge couldn't see the infected people of those ordinary walking corpses, but judging from the number and level of the host's abomination, there were at least 100,000 walking corpses outside the small city at this moment.
How so?
How is it possible to hide such a large number of walking dead infected around Gale City?
Is it a conspiracy or a virus invasion that has taken a new turn?
Qin Ge's heart was falling, and cold sweat was breaking out, this war was afraid that there was no suspense, and he was so small.
Suddenly, the roar of the walking corpses rang out from outside the town, and the host-hating bosses roared one after another, but they didn't move, only the black pressure tide of the walking corpse infected rushed into the town through the streets and alleys.
The heavy footsteps alone were so oppressive that people couldn't breathe.
Those Zhao Wu, Wang Dong and others, who were originally in charge of the second line of defense, were also alarmed and ran onto the rooftop, when they saw the black pressure corpse tide, they couldn't help but scream in despair, they asked themselves that they could easily deal with more than a thousand walking corpses by virtue of their geographical advantages, but this kind of super corpse tide that exceeded 100,000 numbers could only be done by mobilizing the government's legions, not to mention that there were so many abomination hosts.
In the blink of an eye, the four streets in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the intersection were jammed with walking corpses, which really rushed over like a mudslide, and it is estimated that even heavy machine gun fire may not have much effect.
But just as the wave of this tide of walking corpses approached the wooden knife for 800 meters, Qin Ge and everyone else suddenly saw dozens of cyan lightning bolts falling from the sky!
No, no, it's not lightning, it's more like the legendary knife qi, rolling back and forth in the dense tide of black corpses several times, and everywhere it passes, those walking corpses crumble like papier-mâché, and even the corpses are directly bombarded into powder.
In the blink of an eye, all the tens of thousands of infected walking corpses that had invaded the streets of the town had been cleared.
As if nothing had happened.
Qin Ge and the others were stunned, and their thinking consciousness was about to stop, because this was completely beyond their comprehension, and carpet bombing with modern weapons could not compare to this kind of cleanliness.
A few seconds later, there was a cheer on the rooftop, and everyone felt like they had breathed a sigh of relief, the feeling of the rest of their lives, too, too incredible.
X Qi Zhao Wu and the others who insisted on pulling out the wooden knife before were even more so, and they were so afraid that they broke out in a cold sweat.
"Grandma has a toenail, is the current virus host more and more cunning? Also, how did that thing become an anti-virus hunter?" Zhao Wu scolded angrily, this is not a catastrophe event that bounty hunters like them, who are stronger than ordinary people, can participate in at all, they don't even have the qualifications to become melon-eating people.
"Look, the second wave of corpses has started to charge again, but the number is much less, not good, that Wu Li is testing the defense mechanism of the wooden knife. ”
Someone shouted anxiously.
Sure enough, this time, the tide of walking corpses is much less, and if the first wave of corpses is 10,000 walking corpses, only two-thirds of these two waves will rush into the small city.
When these walking corpses touched the distance of 800 meters again, as expected, dozens of cyan knife qi fell to complete a terrifying round of strangulation.
"Forty-eight, the defense mechanism of the wooden knife is to trigger forty-eight sword qi each time, the minimum range is eight hundred meters, the maximum range is two thousand meters, the air, the ground, the whole city indiscriminately kills, however, that pear tree has been cut down by us, so we don't know how much sword qi the wooden knife can release?"
Qin Ge said quickly at this time, he had already counted twice in a row, 10,000 walking corpses could trigger forty-eight sword qi, and more than 6,000 walking corpses were also forty-eight sword qi, the situation was very bad.
The other people's faces also changed drastically, and Zhao Wu even slapped himself three times in a row, screaming in annoyance, now the fool also knows that the defense mechanism of the wooden knife has actually been destroyed a lot, otherwise it would not have been safe and sound for the past sixty years.
"The third wave, the corpse tide has divided into the third wave of walking corpses, this time there are fewer of them, I'm afraid there are not even three thousand heads!" someone shouted in despair, if the defense mechanism of the wooden knife could not identify the number of enemies, and then caused the sword qi to be consumed, it would really be a tragedy, and the Wu Li on the opposite side could completely blow up the small city in this way.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, someone shouted in the second line of defense below, but it was followed by a gunshot, Zhao Wu, Wang Dong and others looked back and became angry, but they saw Lu Dongyang and Zhang Wei, Qian Xiaogang, Jiang Bowei and other four people who were responsible for defending the northeast and northwest corners took advantage of the appearance of the corpse tide to attract everyone's attention, left the defensive point, and were heading to the position of the wooden knife, one of the two bounty hunters who were responsible for guarding the wooden knife was shot in the head, and the other was killed by a crossbow arrow.
"Lu Dongyang, what do you want to do?"
Zhao Wu shouted angrily, but was suppressed by Lu Dongyang with a light machine gun strafing shot.
When Qin Ge went around the position, he found that it was too late, Lu Dongyang and the four of them had already rushed to the stump, two transparent bulletproof folding shields stood there, Jiang Bowei went to cut down the stakes, Qian Xiaogang and Zhang Wei carried bulletproof shields, Lu Dongyang hid behind the shield with a light machine gun and shot around, suppressing other bounty hunters not daring to approach.
Qin Ge's heart sank after only one shot, and the two transparent bulletproof shields were made of unknown materials, with an ordinary rifle bullet of 7.62, they couldn't penetrate at all at a distance of 150 meters.
What's worse is that Lu Dongyang and the four of them have quickly released a signal flare, and the colorful smoke column is hundreds of meters high, which is particularly obvious in the sunny weather.
"Roar!"
Wu Li outside the city obviously also saw the signal flare, so he immediately controlled the corpse tide that had already launched a charge to retreat, anyway, for him, as long as the wooden knife disappeared, no matter who pulled it up, it didn't matter.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly the sound of the rotor of a helicopter was heard in the distance, flying straight in the direction of the smoke flare, this was really a perfect plan, it was simply a great joy, the virus host represented by Wu Li could act recklessly, and the black market merchants represented by Lu Dongyang and others could take away the wooden knife with great power and a treasure.
No one cares about the lives of bounty hunters, no one cares what is being suppressed under this town, and no one cares about the hundreds of thousands of people in Gale City, which is so close at hand.
Is this the end of watching and helpless?
Qin Ge suddenly pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!"
The gunfire was crisp and accurately hit the first bullet hole of the bulletproof shield held by Zhang Wei, but it still had no effect on the bulletproof shield.
Lu Dongyang and the others didn't care, two people were responsible for shield protection, one person cut down the stump in the middle, one person suppressed on three sides, the light machine gun fire was very fierce, Zhao Wu and the others had already run down the building, but they were still blocked on the second line of defense and couldn't move.
"Click!"
Qin Ge's face was expressionless, and he continued to pull the bolt cleanly, pushing the bullet, and finally pulling the trigger, a series of simple and stable movements.
"Bang!"
At the same bullet hole, a third bullet hit it, and this time many small cracks began to appear around the bullet hole, and it appeared to be expanding.
Zhang Wei, who was holding the shield, seemed a little surprised, but he didn't panic, he instead showed an expression of helplessness behind the transparent bulletproof shield, and then began to shake the shield left and right in a small area, up and down.
With such difficulty, it is simply impossible to hit the same bullet hole from a distance of 150 meters, and Zhang Wei is very confident that this bulletproof shield, which was produced in 2018 and is said to be made of some special nanomaterial, can withstand four or five shots even in the same position.
Qin Ge did not stop because of the shaking of the target, his strong eyesight now, as well as his familiarity with the rifle, the feeling of shooting was already at a very high level, others could not do it, it did not mean that he could not do it, three and a half seconds later, he fired the fourth shot.
"Bang!"
The bullet still hit the bullet hole accurately, and due to Zhang Wei's shaking from side to side, his body almost stumbled this time, but what made him even more terrifying was that because the four bullets hit the same position in a row, even the bulletproof shield had already appeared huge spider web cracks, and it was almost certain that only one more shot was needed to definitely penetrate the shield.
To make matters worse, the bullet hole was right in the middle of the shield.
Zhang Wei's reaction was also fast enough, and he immediately shouted: "Old Qian, let's change positions, quickly!"
Although Qin Ge shot quickly, it also required an interval of 3.5 seconds, and as long as he changed the angle slightly, he might not be able to hit that fatal bullet hole.
The two quickly changed positions in a very short period of time, and the cooperation was tacit, and the interval between 3.5 seconds was just stuck.
"Bang!"
Qin Ge calmly pulled the trigger for the fifth time, and he didn't care about the result, because at this moment, he even had a feeling that he knew the bulletproof shield better than Zhang Wei himself, as if he was not a sniper, but a surgeon standing in front of the operating table, wearing a white coat, holding a scalpel, and saying with a kind face, 'Good, it doesn't hurt too much'.
The outcome was already predestined.
One hundred and fifty meters away, the bulletproof folding shield in Zhang Wei's hand made a loud noise, and there was an extra bowl-sized hole in the center.
Zhang Wei's mother shouted, threw down the bulletproof shield, turned his head and ran to the back of the traffic booth not far away, at this moment he was really frightened, cold sweat came out, others could not understand the shock in his heart, because although this bulletproof shield is said to be bulletproof The limit is four or five shots, but if people are specially armed with a rifle to break through, it may not be able to make a big hole in a short time.
But Qin Ge can do this, in addition to his super marksmanship, there is a possibility, the gun in his hand is attributed.
