Michael Steelworks, Florida, a suburb of Orlando.

In the wee hours of the morning, the world was still in darkness, and only the ferocious mutant monsters in every corner were active, making hellish murmurs.

However, at this very time.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three violent explosions suddenly exploded, shaking the entire area and triggering a wave of feedback.

The Shark Gang's vigil in the steel mill stronghold was so frightened that they almost lost their souls, and they used various lighting equipment to run to the steel mill wall and look out.

I saw, for some reason, the three trucks that were originally honestly parked outside the fence suddenly exploded, and now the raging fire has swallowed the three trucks, and the loud sound has attracted the attention of all kinds of monsters in the vicinity.

Listening to the roars and footsteps of countless monsters that I don't know what kind of monster they were in the invisible darkness, so that the leader of the Shark Gang, who was in charge of the night vigil with a torch, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately shouted to the little brother beside him:

"Hurry up, hurry up and inform everyone, the zombie monster is coming, go and call for backup."

"With a few of us, we can't stop so many monsters."

However, with the sound of two skulls shattering, the powerful power of the sniper rifle bullet directly smashed the heads of him and his little brother into broken watermelons, so that they no longer had to worry about tonight's battle.

A few hundred meters away in the dark.

"Good marksmanship, Sasha."

"You're not bad, Vice Captain Jasmine.

"That's it, Sasha, let's get rid of the night watchmen at their gates, delay their support, and let the zombies nearby rush in and form an effective zombie tide."

"No problem, Captain Jasmine"

The two of them hid at a sniper point a few hundred meters away, with night vision scanners on their faces and corpse spray spray on their bodies, and began a quick sniping attack.

As the vigil gang with light devices in hand was sniped by sniper rifles, more and more zombies surrounded them from all sides.

And at this moment, a sneaky figure suddenly came in from the gate of the steel factory, quietly opened the lock on the gate, pushed the door open, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing that the gate of the steel mill was opened, these zombies surrounded by the outer wall immediately turned around and surrounded them, and quickly rushed into the courtyard of the steel mill.

However, the act of sniping the night watchmen can only cause some problems for the Sharks, who have been living in the dangerous state of Florida for more than a few months, and everyone knows the danger of these zombies, and no one dares to really sleep dead at night.

Within minutes of the explosion, more than half of the members had dressed up, picked up their weapons, and rushed out of their resting places.

However, at this time, it was already a little late, taking advantage of the open gate of the steel plant, under the deliberate guidance of the members of the Stinger Squad, those mutated zombies who were not slow had already rushed in two or three hundred in one go.

Seeing the Shark Gang rushing out of the factory, these mutant zombies were like flies smelling dog shit, and they all let out a bloodthirsty roar and pounced on them without the slightest pause.

As soon as the two sides met, a fierce battle immediately began, taking advantage of the fact that the zombies were still some distance away from them, the Shark Gang all raised their guns and shot, hundreds of bullets broke out, and dozens of mutant zombies that pounced were blown out of their heads in an instant, and their brains were splashed everywhere.

Then came the second shot, and dozens more zombies fell on the way to the charge.

It's a pity that the speed of the mutant corpse group is very fast, and after only two shots, these fast-moving mutant zombies rushed into the crowd of the Shark Gang and began a face-to-face, flesh-and-blood fight with humans.

However, it is very different from the scene imagined by ordinary people, these Shark Gang members have long learned how to use armor in the battle with mutant zombies, they wear different styles, simple leather armor or iron armor assembled from different materials, relying on cold weapons and guns, facing these ordinary mutant zombies, without fear.

Even after the battle began, they quickly gained the upper hand with their savage-like ferocity and superiority in weapons.

However, the reason why zombies have become a formidable enemy of humans is not their individual combat power, but the endless number.

As the battle lengthened, more and more zombies poured into the yard of the steel mill.

Because as long as the gates of the steel mill are not closed, no matter how ferocious and combative the Shark gang is, these corpses will continue to pour up and fight to the last one.

Just as Jasmine and Sasha were contemplating whether they should shoot in the shadows and inflict some casualties on the Shark Gang, Rick's voice suddenly came from their headphones.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the hostages have been rescued."

"Stinger Squad, start the official attack."

With a command from Rick, the real battle began.

In an instant, four or five rockets flew out of the darkness around the steel mill, flying into the dense crowd, followed by the sound of a large number of heavy machine guns and sniper rifle gunfire coming from nowhere.

The Shark Gang, who was fighting with the zombie horde, was killed and dozens of people were killed in just this one shot.

In this dark environment, in this situation where there are mutated zombies everywhere, they simply have no time to look for them, and those Stinger team members who hide in the dark and wear night vision devices can only fight with the corpses in fear while looking for cover around them.

This also caused their formation to be broken up by the zombie horde, and they soon fell into disadvantage in the battle of the zombies.

Even so, the gunmen who hid in the darkness did not spare them in the slightest.

Constantly members are being shot and killed in battle, and they can't even see where the enemy is.

In the face of the attacks of mutated zombies and various heavy weapons, the gang of shark sticks immediately became panicked, and the huge casualties generated an irrepressible fear in their hearts.

But before they could get out of the zombie group, they suddenly saw three super strong men with strong bodies and unknown black armor, carrying several boxes of bullets and the legendary Gatling cannon in their hands, and walked out of the steel factory behind them.

Da-da-da-da! Da-da-da-da! Da-da-da-da!

The Gatling cannon is a battlefield reaper with a rate of fire of more than 6,000 rounds per second, and the outermost Shark Gang only sees that the Gatling cannon in the hands of the three super strong men emits a shining fire, and countless smoky bullets are shooting in their direction.

Then, without that, they were torn to shreds by the relentless barrage of these steel warheads.

Ten minutes later, the Shark Gang stronghold on the outskirts of Orlando City was completely uprooted under the siege of the Stinger Team and mutant zombies.

Then, without the threat of the Sharks' guns, the Stinger Squad members in high-tech armor took only some time and effort to eliminate the remaining zombies in the steel factory, and the survivors who were imprisoned were released.

Leon, located at the Fort Benning military base, was the first to receive this good news, and without hesitation, he immediately sent a large helicopter fleet of Apache gunships led by Lily and ten Black Hawk gunships to Orlando City to rescue the captured survivors.

Less than two hours later, as the sun rose golden, the Umbrella Company's helicopter fleet successfully returned to Fort Benning Military Base with members of Stinger Squad and more than 200 rescued survivors.

This result made Leon a little pleased, it turned out that his special squad plan was correct, in a small-scale battle, facing more than ten times the number of enemies than himself, with strategic advantages and equipment crushing, the Stinger squad easily completed the task.

Unfortunately, the amount of mutant spider silk was too small, and even if he took out all the inventory, he would not be able to make up 20 sets of Guardian armor, which severely limited the number of members of the Stinger team.

Moreover, this kind of good thing can't all be used on the soldiers, and some of the characters in the base, their value, is unlimited for the entire human race.

Looking at the members of the Stinger team who returned triumphantly, Leon enthusiastically hugged the shoulders of Rick and Sean, and cast approving glances at the others, and finally took out a box of high-end cigars from his arms, threw it to Constantine, who looked flattering and wanted to come over, and said happily:

"You've done a great job this time, I've asked my personal chef, Old John, to prepare a sumptuous meal for you, with enough wine and dessert."

"You can enjoy this meal, then have a good rest, and tonight, go to the second battle."

Soon, a week later, there were less than 10 days left before the harvest festival.

The Stinger team has completed their combat mission very well, probably due to the current means of communication is too bad, until they have cleared the three strongholds belonging to the Shark Gang, these cannibal scum have not found that their strongholds have been wiped out, so that every sneak attack of the Stinger team has achieved good results.

However, Leon can see several oddities between the gang and the ordinary survivors, based on the battle footage recorded in the helmets of Rick and others, as well as some items they have collected from the Shark Gang's stronghold.

First of all, the number of this group of people is too much, just these three land strongholds, the number of people exceeds 600 people, not quite like the team that Konstantin said can form a team of scum who can't survive.

Secondly, although the equipment of these people is not very good, almost everyone can be equipped with guns, and the number of bullets in each stronghold is not quite good, which is not like something that can be easily collected from the city.

Finally, and the strangest thing about Leon, judging from the video taken by Rick, these people seem to be like crazy people after fighting, obviously at an absolute disadvantage, and almost no one surrenders.

It was reckless to pick up a weapon, and he even dared to fight mutated zombies hand-to-hand, so much so that his plan to capture the captives was also ruined.

This is very unreasonable, who can live until now, who is not cautious, more than cherish their own life, even if there is only a small hope, will want to live.

However, the things Rick has gathered from the Shark Gang stronghold may be able to solve his doubts.

In Professor Marlock's research center, Leon handed Marlock a black hay similar to seaweed to Marlock, and said with a somewhat serious expression:

"Professor, help me find out what's so special about this seaweed."

"Based on the observation of Captain Rick of the Stinger Squad, it seems that the members of the Shark Gang we have dealt with recently are all eating this seaweed."

"According to the performance in the battle video, the members of these Shark Gang generally have a manic bloodthirsty impulse, are not afraid of death, and even dare to engage in hand-to-hand combat with mutant zombies, and the wisdom shown in the battle is also quite clumsy."

"My guess is that this seaweed might be some kind of emerging stimulant."

"You should test the ingredients in these seaweeds, maybe these seaweeds can bring us some surprises."

Professor Mallock pushed the eyes on his nose, took the black seaweed in Leon's hand, took it to his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly felt refreshed, and wanted to break off a piece and stuff it into his mouth, and then, he was immediately interrupted by Leon a little speechless.

Leon thinks that this guy Marlock, since he came into contact with Tom, the mutant giant, the overall style of painting has become a little strange, and now it seems that he wants to taste everything.

Stopped by the big boss, Professor Mallock smiled a little awkwardly and said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Custer, I'll get back to you soon."

Then, as if thinking of something, the professor hurriedly said:

"By the way, Mr. Custer, the flesh and blood of the mutated octopus seems to really work, and after those captives ate it, their bodies have become significantly stronger."

"I'll watch for another two or three weeks, and I'll get you the exact information then."

Leaving Professor Marlock's research center, Leon was in his office and ran into the hippie-smiling Konstantin, who was holding a cup of coffee that Avril had handed her, with a lewd smile on his face, as if he wanted to strike up Amy's little assistant.

His face suddenly darkened, during this time, Konstantin had looked for him seven or eight times, although this guy's intelligence was quite useful and helped the Stinger team a lot, but after solving the three strongholds of the Shark Gang on land, this guy actually wanted to make an inch, let him continue to send fighters to solve the headquarters of the Shark Gang in the ocean.

Not to mention how much effort it would take him in the absence of intelligence, and no one in the base had any experience in the battle on the sea, how could he be willing to send his precious soldiers to fight those uncertain battles.

Without waiting for the fellow to speak, Leon grabbed her by the collar, lifted him up like a chicken, and spoke:

"If you really want to save the survivors in the Shark Gang headquarters, I can give you a chance."

Seeing that Konstantin's eyes lit up, he snorted and said:

"You can go to the hospital and recruit the rescued Florida survivors, no more than 10 people, and take them to the sea to find out the intelligence of the Sharks headquarters."

"I can provide you with weapons, supplies, and transportation, and when you get enough information, I will decide whether to send troops to eliminate the Shark Gang according to the situation."

Konstantin's face was full of excitement and he wanted to agree, but suddenly his eyes rolled, as if he wanted to add some more conditions.

Leon was not used to him, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw the man of more than 100 pounds out of the office.

"Hurry up, my patience is limited."

Meanwhile, in an ornate underground building in North America, a handsome man with blond hair is listening to his subordinates' report with a glass of red wine.

After listening for a long time, he suddenly thought of something, and asked his subordinates with slightly narrowed eyes:

"How's that about the umbrella company?"

The subordinate kneeling in front of him paused slightly, and immediately said with some trepidation:

"Your Highness, things have been arranged."

"In 10 days, they will have a big harvest celebration inside, and when that happens, almost all of their members will get together."

"We've arranged the internal response, and we've got the zombie gas ready."

"When the time comes, we can definitely get rid of them."

The handsome man took a slight sip of red wine and said lightly:

"Better yet, they've got in the way of our plans."

"If you don't do this well, the research department will be happy to have one more experiment."

Brothers, an old man from a relative's family has passed away today, and I have to go and help, so I wrote this chapter in my spare time, and it was too hard.
