Chapter 181: The Legend of a Real Man (1)
Zhoushan City, 14 days after the outbreak of the corpse tide.
Rain, icy rain washed the blood on the ground, countless living corpses roamed the streets, they were no longer human, their bare skin, blue-black veins bulging, their eyes bloodshot, their skin as pale as a dead man.
Even this rain can't wash away the stench of dead rats in the air.
The sky was gloomy and gloomy, and these postures were strange like zombies of a mad person, squeaking on the glass shards, which made Ji Shou cold to the bone.
He was in a green military uniform, and there was blood on it, which was soaked in rain and seeped between the gaps in the fibers.
He wore a mask and followed at the back of the line.
Rumble!!!
The deafening sound of explosions, the front row of army tanks fired a salvo, and heavy shells were fired, exploding with gunpowder smoke and sparks, bursting the concrete floor, leaving cracks and craters on the ground.
The living corpses that smelled "human" poured in, and the servicemen who followed closely behind the tanks raised their rifles in their hands and fired a volley, and in the face of modern weapons, these monsters were as fragile as sun-dried wheat stalks.
The tank ruthlessly swept over the corpses of the living corpses, forging a path.
The well-armed army silently followed behind the tanks, carefully avoiding the crushed corpses and advancing through the indentations of the tracks.
Ji Shou looked up at the helicopter in the sky, and there were four black gunships at the same time, distributed in a square corner, and the heavily sealed metal box had to be carried by four helicopters.
It's not a secret weapon, it's just a chest, a purpose-built chest to be used as a cage.
Only this almost physical alloy safe could keep the monster in place, and it could imprison it.
The Fungus Lord, that's what the army calls that monster, they didn't come to save the city, they had only one mission, to capture the monster called the Fungus Master alive, and then evacuate.
Ji Shou didn't start in this army, he joined by accident.
His profession was originally a traffic policeman, he joined the army for two years in college, and after graduation, he inherited his father's police number and worked in Zhoushan City.
His father, who was also a traffic policeman, died in the line of duty during a law enforcement service when he was a child.
When his father and his colleagues were investigating drunk driving, they were hit by a drunk driver, resulting in death on the spot and unable to be treated.
He was six years old that year, the same age as he was in elementary school.
He and his mother attended their father's funeral, received a sum of compensation, and hung a sign on the door that read "Home of Glory".
His mother was very opposed to him going to work in the traffic police brigade, and said very ugly things and scolded him.
But he still applied for the post, because he didn't want anyone to be like him, his relatives suddenly died because of a traffic accident, he had a sense of justice in his heart, he must arrest those who do not drive according to traffic rules before the accident, and must not let them take a chance to harm others.
When the corpse tide broke out, he was on duty in the traffic control center.
There are not many people in the office, many people have taken leave due to illness, but he is fine, he has been healthy, no fever, no dizziness.
At that moment, through the crack in the office door, he saw his colleague lying on his back on the ground, his head tilted to one side, his chest cavity opened, his hideous ribs like a bloody mouth, and two "people" squatting on the ground were fighting for the liver and lungs while feeding them to their mouths, which was the sound of the heart chewing.
He closed the office door and called his mother on the landline, but the phone rang for a long time and no one answered, and he called his fiancée, which showed that she was not in the service area.
He wanted to go out, to find his relatives and see if they were safe, but through the window, he could see what it was like outside.
Outside was filled with the sound of cars crashing, and in the city, black smoke was rising everywhere, almost as if someone had lit the smoke on the city walls.
On the road, the crowd gathered, they lay on the ground, surrounded the dead man, the man turned into white bones, rolled down to the feet of the crowd, many people lay on the ground, licking the blood on the ground, people kept being knocked down, they got up and then tore and bit together, there were screams everywhere.
The world suddenly became a vulgar third-level thriller, and the zombie crisis suddenly broke out, but these zombies are not at all like in the movie, slow and stupid, they are agile like professional athletes, their legs have opened an incredible span, and the inhuman movements make people's hearts numb.
He was trapped in a horde of corpses, and once he left the office, he was besieged by a frenzied horde of living corpses and died.
Anxiety, worry, fear, and fear all kinds of emotions stirred into a hodgepodge in his heart, and he was so afraid that his relatives would become like this, so he wanted to do nothing, so he rushed out and went straight to his home.
But in the end, reason prevailed, he is a traffic policeman, a qualified law enforcement officer, he will not talk about feelings and relationships, and he is also iron-faced and selfless to his relatives, and their reason always has the upper hand.
Even if he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, he knew that he had no means to fight the endless tide of corpses outside the office, and once he left this office, the consequence would be to become food for those living corpses.
Never be rash, this is what my father taught him from a young age.
If you want to see his important person, you must not rush out like a stunned person, and surviving first is the most important thing.
So he locked the office door, locked the windows, closed the curtains, and looked at the living corpses through the cracks in the door.
There is some food in the office, shaqima, biscuits, chocolates, small breads, etc., which are snacks left over from colleagues on weekdays, there are instant noodles in the cupboard, there is a whole piece, there is a water dispenser and an electric water heater, he plans the food and drinking water in a planned way, and carefully hides in the office.
It wasn't until seven days ago, when this huge army passed near the traffic control station, that he heard the turning of the helicopter slurry, heard the sound of gunfire, thought it was aid, and climbed out of the window and joined the army.
That's how he got in, he got his clothes and face shields, and he heard about the army's plans, and because of his former traffic police and military qualifications, he had the honor of being part of the team and joining the raid party.
He can only move forward if he joins this army and follows in the footsteps of the army.
He was told that their target was the Lord of the Monsters, which was like the brain center of the monster, and if the brain center was destroyed, the living corpses might also be incapacitated.
They say they have a secret weapon, a powerful bio-bomb, just drop that bomb and then restrain the fungus master, and it's over, and he can evacuate with the army.
