Chapter 68: "The Living Dead"

The fungus blanket, the feeling of stepping on it is not as disgusting as it seems, but like throwing yourself into the arms of your mother, warm, soft, and energetic, and the air above the fungus blanket is not rancid, but has a sweet taste, which is the taste of the essence of life.

Zhang Wen and Jack each led the team to advance in parallel 800 meters apart, and the two life detectors were operating at the same time, which could detect an area nearly four kilometers wide.

"Safe on the left!"

"Safe on the right, move forward carefully!"

The Life Probe is the most advanced version of the device that was brought in before departure, and the accuracy rate is extremely high, but the real veteran will not fully trust the instrument, and everyone still carefully observes the surroundings and moves slowly.

But they didn't notice that not far away, the regular rhythm of the fungus carpet began to bulge one by one, as if something was breaking out of the carpet. In dim light, it was difficult to notice this change in detail, and the state-of-the-art life detectors did not react in any way.

Time passed slowly, and the two groups were approaching the outskirts, 50 kilometres away from the next target point, and there was still no danger.

Just as everyone was about to stop and set up another temporary stronghold, waiting for dawn to continue their departure.

At this moment, the left team suddenly stopped, and a reminder sounded.

"Attention, there's movement. ”

With the reminder, the rustling sound reached everyone's ears, but there was still no enemy in sight.

Night vision devices did not see, and thermal imaging did not react. But the rustling sound grew louder and louder, dense, and slow, as if a group of people were out for a walk after dinner.

It's just that in this dark night where you can't see your fingers, the city full of dead silence, and the weird wriggling Zerg fungus carpet, and those things are not life, it's a little scary.

"The sound comes from the rear, 300 meters in front of the left to meet the houses, quick!"

Zhang Wen quickly made a decision, the most important thing now is to get everyone together and leave the place as soon as possible.

At their speed, they should be able to shake off those unknown rustles.

Before arriving at the location, there was a rustle on the left and right sides, and it was not far away, getting denser and denser.

"Captain, the enemy is from underground, where, you see, he has emerged from the ground. ”

I saw that not far from the meeting point, a small bag bulged on the ground. Then something came out of it, got up, stood upright, and staggered towards them.

"Humans?"

This word appeared in the hearts of everyone, and some team members even exclaimed. There are people who have survived in such harsh conditions.

"The alarm is over, Captain, it's a man. ”

Jack said excitedly that it was a blessing to see a living person in such a dead city.

"Approach carefully and stay vigilant. ”

But Zhang Wen felt that something was wrong, that person's walking posture was a little weird, could it be that he was injured?

But the next moment, everyone almost stopped, and suddenly there was a bad feeling in their hearts.

The fungus blanket continued to bulge in small packets, one after another, and in the end, it almost bulged one by one, and groups of "people" came out of it.

It's no longer excitement, but some heart palpitations, because "they" don't look like humans who have survived the catastrophe, but more like dead spirits crawling out of their graves.

"So it makes sense, why are the life probes not responding, because they are not ...... Person. ”

Everyone thought to themselves, but they really couldn't figure out what these things were.

In the moments they hesitated, at least 30 strange things were already walking towards them, almost encircling.

"Stop, or shoot. Maru warned him, but his voice trembled.

"They" didn't stop, staggering forward. forced the team members to keep retreating, and in just two minutes, everyone was forced to gather together.

"They rushed up. ”

With an exclamation, those things suddenly accelerated, and the speed of the 100-meter sprint far exceeded that of ordinary people, rushing with a hoarse roar as if they were struggling in hell.

"Don't hesitate, shoot. ”

Da Da Da ......

The team members did not hesitate to shoot, and at this time it was no longer a matter of exposing the exposed target. Those strange people, running at full speed like robots, the rotting flesh on their faces and the claws glowing with a faint purple and blue light on their "hands" all represent evil and danger.

Bang bang bang......

Spike bullets rained down on the "weirdos", bringing up a mist of blood, but it did not affect their actions at all

They seemed to have no pain, no fear, and in just a few seconds, two "weirdos" had already rushed forward.

Squeak squeak......

The claws slashed across the armor with a screeching sound, and the sheer force actually made the Marauder Mecha take half a step back.

Bang bang bang......

As everyone gathered fire, the two "weirdos" were beaten to pieces.

"Fatty, it's okay. ”

"It's okay, this thing is a bit powerful, and its attack power is not weaker than that of jumping insects. ”

"It's okay, rush into formation and move towards 10 o'clock. ”

Although the "weirdos" who broke through to the vicinity have been "killed", more "weirdos" seem to have found their way to surround them, densely packed, I am afraid there are hundreds.

These weirdos look like they've been lost, and they're terrifying. Even if a big hole is punched out of the body, it will not affect the sprint. Only those whose heads are broken or whose legs are broken will stop their progress.

"Aim for their heads and legs, hit the front, leave the back behind, run. ”

Da Da Da ......

The gunfire did not stop, but there was a steady stream of "weirdos", as could be seen from the tattered clothing and blood-stained appearance, they were the original human beings of the city, men, women, old people, children......

"Turn left ahead and go around the complex. ”

At this time, Zhang Wen was also a black-eyed commander, so he could only lead everyone to run to a place where there were few "weirdos".

With the help of night vision devices, you can vaguely see a factory-like building complex in front of the left, and the complex is fenced off.

If you can get over the fence and with the help of obstacles, maybe you can get rid of these weirdos.

The crowd shot as they ran, looking behind them.

But it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you look at it, your heart is half cold.

The tide of "weirdos" like a surging tide is announcing to them that as long as they stay, they will die, and it will be extremely miserable.

"Captain, I'm Han Dong, according to your image analysis, this strange person is a biochemical weapon made by the Zerg, a mutant. Behind the factory is a large field of farmland, which should be very muddy after the tsunami, and may be able to limit their speed, and Nelly will arrive at the marker point in five minutes to meet you. ”

"Arwen, hold on, the ship will come over to meet you immediately. ”

Nelly's voice was slightly urgent, and she was probably coming at full speed.

"Okay, Nelly, be careful, watch the air. ”

Han Dong and Nelly's voices were like life-saving straws, like nectar from a long drought, giving everyone a glimmer of hope.

"Don't fight, just rush forward. The raiders abandon their attacks and go to the front. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Shan and Ma Lu put away the K-12, their thick arm armor in front of them, regardless of the claws they caught, and rushed forward frantically. All the mutants blocked in front of them were shattered, and flesh and blood flew sideways.

The other team members also reduced the frequency of their shots and charged at full speed, and the dawn was just around the corner.

200 meters

100 meters

50 meters

In just ten seconds, it has already rushed to the corner of the factory wall, as long as it rushes to the farmland, just like Han Dong said, after the tsunami, the farmland will inevitably be waterlogged, although the muddy field will have an impact on the speed of the mecha, but the impact on the mutant may be even greater.

"It's here. ”

But......

"I rely on ......"

I couldn't help but give a foul mouth. Because there was no stagnant water or silt in the farmland in front of me, under the dim light of dawn, it was all purple fungus blankets.

It's not just the fungus blanket that makes people's hearts cold, but more importantly, the mutants that pour out from the back door of the factory are so many that people are desperate.

Zhang Shan and Ma Lu couldn't help but stop, there were at least one or two thousand mutants in front of them, even if the battleship rushed over, they would have to peel off their skin.

"Han Dong. ”

The situation was urgent, and Zhang Wen immediately called Han Dong, hoping to have information support from the rear.

"Captain, I see it, it's bad news, but I have good news. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, say it, it's not funny at all. ”

"The good news is that I've just finally set up the radar base station, and the 2034 mutants in front of you are already the only obstacle in front of you, as long as you rush over and continue to run towards the marker, you can meet up with the receiving spacecraft. You only have 5 seconds to board the ship, or you'll be in danger at the speed of the mutant. ”

"Okay, I got it. The brothers continued to rush, preparing lethal weapons. ”

Zhang Wen didn't bother anymore, and immediately gave the order, and at the same time put away the C-14 spike submachine gun, and took out the E03 psionic pistol and H-w04 miniature fusion grenade that he had been reluctant to use and did not dare to use easily.

"Listen to my orders, lethal weapons, echelon attacks,...... 3, 2, 1, Jack. ”

"Damn, why did I ...... first?"

Curly Hair, holding back the painful expression that could not be parted, pressed the detonation button of the grenade, and the pain of that expression was not there when he was scratched by the claws just now.

"Tactical grenades. ”

With a cry of pain from Jack, the tactical grenade was activated by the mech system and detonated.

Rumble......

Powerful explosions, bright lights, and shock waves rushed forward like doomsday destruction.

The new miniature fusion grenade can be controlled by a single mecha to blast in a directional manner, and the impact force can be used to attack in the specified direction to the greatest extent. But despite this, the aftermath still made the crowd who had already bowed down to avoid it take a few steps back.

"Rush!"

Everyone got up and continued to rush forward, and the E03 Ghost Energy Pistol in the hands of his colleague was fired, and every impact would cause a psionic shock in an area of nearly ten square meters in front of him, and the mutant that survived the explosion of the tactical grenade explosion was instantly crushed by the storm-like psionic energy.

"Let's go. ”

The power of E03 is extremely terrifying, and it can also be said that the psionic energy is too strong. It's a pity that their number is limited, and the ammunition can only be fired a few times, and the long road is long, I don't know how much danger there is.

A tactical grenade, a round of psionic attacks, the front is basically emptied, although there are still mutants pouring out of the factory, but it is no longer able to stop everyone's footsteps.

Race against time, one step slower and you will never recover.

"Arwen, meet in two minutes and twenty seconds, are you all right?"

"We ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a plop, and one person fell.

"Jack, Jack, what's wrong with you. ”

Then another person fell, and it was Lear.

"Lao Li ......"

Zhang Wen hurried over, but saw that the two of them were unconscious, their faces were purple, and it was already difficult to breathe.

Poisoning?

Help them open the mech's emergency rescue system, and the mech will automatically inject a cardiotonic.

"Don't open the mask, there may be deadly toxins, Zhang Shan, Ma Lu, carry them away, and the mutants are surrounded. ”

After a short delay, the mutant surrounded again, and if it was delayed for a few more seconds, it would be surrounded.

Fortunately, the strength of the raiders was strong, and it was not a problem to carry a few hundred kilograms more.

"Wang Chao, what's wrong with you?"

The crowd was running forward, and Sico's voice came again, and the bad news continued one after another.

"Huhu...... , you go first, I, I can't walk anymore, I ...... Can't suck ......."

Wang Chao usually doesn't speak much, but he is a strong man, now his face is pale, his arms are raised, and three deep wounds with visible bones are vividly visible, and the wounds are not bleeding, but only glowing with a purple-blue faint light.

"No, I'll carry you, if you don't leave, I won't leave. ”

Not to mention people like Sico who put the righteousness of their buddies first, everyone present would not abandon their comrades and escape alone, they once swore "not to abandon, not to give up".

"Don't talk about it, inject the dormancy potion, Sico, Lao Jin, you carry him away. ”

Zhang Wen said as he fired a shot from the rear, and the psionic storm swept over again, stopping the deviant who was about to rush up. An unsustainable sense of powerlessness came over me.

The meeting point is still a minute away, but this short distance is far away.
