The fierce zombies poured over like a tide, but in front of them were the death corps in heavy armor.

Even though their fingers and nails had been scratched into flesh and blood, even if they used all their strength to bite the black alloy armor, they still couldn't do any damage to this group of strong men who were two meters tall.

And the zombie lords who looked like living people and had sharp claws came out of the cracks in the corpses, and moved in front of the soldiers at a fairly rapid speed, and the sharp and sharp claws were driven by great force, leaving deep scratches on the alloy armor.

If they were facing ordinary survivors, such an attack might have pierced through their flesh and blood.

However, in the face of the protection of the heavy alloy armor, such a physical attack still seems so weak.

In the face of the enemy drawn to the depths, the soldiers of the Death Corps were unrelenting.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the gunfire, flesh and blood fly.

Under the muzzle of the powerful shotgun, whether it is a normal zombie or a mutated zombie, there is no difference in their defense.

The skulls were blown into bloody debris by bullets, which made Reiner, who had been watching here, very worried, and instead of worrying about the safety of the soldiers, he began to feel heartache about these rare research samples.

The brains of these zombies are the most critical part to solve the mystery of the zombie virus, and without them, the value of the sample is directly reduced by more than half.

Regardless of what he thought, however, the battle continued.

Even the nimble, clawed hunter-type zombies couldn't cross the torrent of steel, and even if they jumped high, they would be used as a ready-made target by the recruits behind the Death Corps, and would be shot into a sieve by a dense barrage of bullets.

After losing the tank-type zombies and the corrosives, the two mutated zombies that can threaten the death corps, the group of mutated zombies at the entrance of the recuperation center have become lambs on the chopping board, and they can't escape the fate of being strangled.

Colonel Frank commanded the troops, and it took less than twenty minutes before and after, and these mutated zombies, which were very troublesome to many survivors, were swept away by the soldiers without any casualties.

Such a scene surprised Dwight, who was standing at the rear of the battlefield and observing the battle situation, he knew very well that the combat effectiveness of the Salvation Army, although it was stronger than ordinary survivors, but if it was against these soldiers comparable to the regular army in front of him, there would definitely be no chance of victory.

Perhaps, the feud between him and Negan will be completely liquidated in this operation.

After the battle, a dozen or so recruits, under the orders of Colonel Frank, were responsible for helping Reiner collect the bloody samples.

And Professor Marlock's apprentice Reiner is not a mortal, as soon as the battle is over, he rushed into the pile of corpses with excitement on his face, touching here and looking there, as if he was a monkey who had entered the treasure house of Taishang Laojun, his face was full of joy.

And Frank himself didn't bother to pay attention to him, and slowly walked to the corpses of the Salvation Army on the ground, which had not yet been eaten clean.

Just one glance, his brows furrowed, and he didn't care about the bloody appearance of those corpses anymore, but directly squatted down and began to examine it seriously.

The Stinger squad, which had not been involved in the battle, also gathered around, and Jesus was also surprised to see the corpses on the ground, and he looked at Colonel Frank, who was silent, and said with questions:

"It's actually a gunshot wound, these guys were not killed by monsters, they were killed by bullets."

Colonel Frank was silent for a few seconds, then stood up and said lightly:

"It's not an ordinary rifle, it's supposed to be a heavy machine gun."

"Their bones and muscles are torn, and the caliber of the bullets is very large, which light weapons do not have."

After saying that, Frank looked at Jesus and the team behind him with meaningful eyes, and reminded:

"If the people in the institute have such heavy weapons, maybe you should take off those turtle shells on your bodies."

"If you are hit by these bullets, even if you have the protection of a turtle shell, you will definitely die."

Jesus didn't care about Colonel Frank's taunt, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he agreed with his speculation, turned around and discussed with the other team members for a while, and then they all took off the metal pendant of the Guardian's outfit, leaving only a black combat uniform made of special spider silk.

It took another twenty minutes or so, Reiner finally collected the samples he wanted, the wounded soldiers were bandaged, the others were reloaded and maintained, and everyone began the next exploration under the command of their respective commanders.

Following the direction of the corpses and bloodstains, Frank led the soldiers through the spacious front yard, and killed several mutant zombies in succession, hiding in various corners.

To their surprise, though, the traces of blood did not seem to pass through the huge building in the center of the sanatorium, but from the side all the way to the backyard of the sanatorium.

When Colonel Frank and his troops arrived in the backyard, they immediately saw corpses all over the ground, traces left by the battle with a large number of guns, bullet holes everywhere on the ground, on the walls and on the decorations in the backyard, and bullet casings all over the ground, obviously both sides were desperate.

And in the center of these corpses, an underground staircase that has sunk into the ground appears in front of everyone.

What's even more terrifying is that the corpses on the ground look very fresh, as if they have just been dismembered in a slaughterhouse, and there are different body parts of different sizes everywhere.

Seeing this, Jesus went to Frank's side and said,

"It seems that they had a fierce battle, and the Institute of Freemasonry should be down here."

"It's just not clear, what kind of enemy the Salvation Army people are encountering?"

"Could it be the guards in this research institute?"

In the face of such a bloody scene, many of the recruits had very ugly faces, but they were all characters who had survived in the last days for more than ten years, but no one made ugly gestures such as vomiting or crying in fright.

Colonel Frank looked at the miserable corpses on the ground lightly, and said with no change in his expression:

"It's supposed to be some kind of monster, you look at their corpses, don't you think there's anything missing?"

When Jesus heard this, he immediately swept around the corpses on the ground and immediately found something unusual.

The corpses on the ground were not only bullet holes, but also their skulls were severely damaged.

As if it was dealt with by some kind of monster that likes to gnaw on brains, some of them disappeared directly from their necks, some of their heads were eaten halfway, and some of them didn't even know where their upper bodies were, but without exception, there was no brain that could be found at the scene.

"Their brains are gone, is it a monster that likes to eat brains?"

"I've never heard of such a monster."

"However, it stands to reason that at least thirty or forty people have died here, they all have guns in their hands, and they look like veterans, what monster is so strong, there is not a single corpse."

Hearing this, Colonel Frank also thought about it for dozens of seconds, then turned to an adjutant and ordered:

"Let's camp here with the recruits, hold here, and set up heavy machine guns at the entrance of the cave by the way to prevent our back from being cut off by other monsters."

"I'm going to take the Death Corps and Stinger Squad to find out first."

"Take care of these rookies and don't let them cause any trouble."

The adjutant faced Colonel Frank's order, without hesitation, gave a military salute and replied:

"Obey the Colonel's orders and promise to complete the mission."

After arranging the follow-up matters, Frank did not delay any longer, and took more than a hundred elite soldiers of the Death Corps, together with the members of the Stinger Squad, and carefully walked down from the location of the underground staircase.

Unlike poor ghosts such as the Salvation Army, who need electric lights or torches to illuminate, whether it is on the armor of the Stinger Squad or on the armor of the Death Corps, there is a lighting system, and after the lights of hundreds of people are turned on, although the lights cannot shine too far, but basically, within a range of forty or fifty meters, they can see clearly.

Along the way, everyone didn't say much, and after walking down the deep staircase for about seventy or eighty meters, they came to a huge metal gate.

There are still no lights, but luckily, the secret research institute may have had an energy problem and the equipment is not working, but their doors are always open and not closed.

Just as Frank and his soldiers cautiously stepped through the door and looked into the interior of the institute with a cautious attitude.

In the darkness dozens of meters away from them, a voice suddenly sounded with fear.

"Hey! Turn off the lights. ”

"You have so many lights, you're going to lure those monsters over."

Frank shone the flashlight in his hand, and a pale man in a bulletproof vest hid in a corner, looking at everyone with frightened eyes.

After seeing the bright flashlight in Frank's hand, he said with a frightened face:

"Don't take a photo, don't take a photo."

"You bastards, you're going to kill me."

Dwight, who was following Frank, saw the man's appearance and whispered in the colonel's ear:

"It's Gavin, one of Negan's leaders."

However, no sooner had Dwight's voice fallen than Frank saw a terrifying monster leap from the ceiling and pounce on Gavin, who was shrouded in his flashlight.

In Gavin's desperate scream, the monster's two huge and sharp claws stabbed directly into Gavin's body, and then directly tore Gavin into two pieces under the pull of the huge force.

The monster let out a smug roar, and instantly bit Gavin's head with its big mouth full of sharp teeth, like eating grapes, snapping, and the juice of the bite splashed everywhere.

Under the light of the flashlight, Frank also saw the appearance of this monster.

They look like skinned frogs, with strong muscles all over their bodies, slender limbs, and sharp, sharp claws at the ends, like lizards, and bare brains on their skinless heads.

However, just as Frank was about to give the order for the soldiers of the Death Corps to open fire and kill the monster, a dozen more monsters with almost identical appearances swooped down from the ceiling directly above the soldiers.

Like a predatory cheetah, this terrifying monster, using its own strength and weight, directly crushed the soldiers of the Death Corps to the ground, its sharp claws like scythes, instantly scratching their bodies, and sparks flew everywhere.

However, similar to the treatment of the mutant zombies outside, although the strength of these monsters is greater and the claws are sharper, their attacks still can't really hurt the soldiers of the Death Corps who are protected by alloy armor.

In the continuous tooth-aching cutting sound, the soldiers of the Death Corps slammed the shotguns in their hands into the bodies of these monsters with the sparks rubbing on their bodies, knocking these monsters like skinned frogs into a blur of flesh and blood, and threw them to the ground.
