Chapter 176: Wisdom Zombie
Without sunlight, the light in the building is very dim, and the eyes of ordinary people are basically the same as being blind.
However, the Guardian's armor is equipped with a night vision system, and the dark environment has little effect on Jesus and Michonne and others.
In order to cope with the next battle, everyone can be said to have gone all out, not only spraying a layer of corpse spray that can block the smell on their bodies, a strength potion that increases strength, and a hunter potion that increases reaction speed, but also a recovery potion that can quickly heal injuries after being injured.
Although everyone looks the same as the original on the surface, under the influence of the medicine, their physical functions have surpassed ordinary people by a lot, and almost all of them have reached the level of top athletes.
Coupled with the top-notch equipment and weapons, this is the foundation of the Stinger Squad's strong combat effectiveness.
Although this state will not last, in a short period of time, each of them can be regarded as an ace special forces.
Carefully sneaking slowly through the building, the group soon spotted traces of the monster.
In Zhejiang's spacious building, there are many mutated zombies hidden on the ceiling, on the walls, in the closed corners, and in the light or dark.
And unlike the aimless, wandering zombies outside, these mutated zombies seem to have fallen into some kind of dormancy, staying motionless in their hidden positions, without heartbeat or breathing, as if they were just a cold stone.
This phenomenon is very rare, which surprised everyone, and it also raised everyone's hearts fiercely.
There must be demons in the abnormal, and the unknown is often more dangerous than it seems.
Moreover, these zombies are not only dormant, Jesus is keenly aware that their bodies show a pale green fluorescence, and in the thermal energy sensing system attached to their helmets, a large number of mycelium like human veins cover the zombies' bodies.
Eventually, a complex network was formed in the brain locations of these zombies.
Although their appearance has not changed much from the zombies they encountered before, obviously, they have become two completely different monsters, but I don't know, what has happened to the abilities of these monsters?
Jesus informed the crowd of his discoveries using a silent communication system in his armor.
However, after a brief discussion, they decided to continue with the battle plan of a frontal breakthrough out of confidence in the Guardian's armor defenses.
Along the way, Jill, Chris and other team members who had learned explosive skills in the academy for a few days quietly installed explosive bombs in some key locations.
Once the two sides start a war, these high-explosive bombs can cause huge damage to these zombies in an instant.
But as they continue to go deeper, they find more and more monsters, just on the first floor, almost a hundred mutant zombies have been found, although most of them are relatively easy to deal with hunters, but if they attack together, it will obviously be very tricky.
And according to the situation here, the monsters that sneak up on the transport team are most likely to be these mutated zombies.
Although everyone was very cautious, everyone clearly underestimated the cunning of these monsters, just when they thought that all the monsters in the building were dormant and could go directly to their core and directly take down the mastermind behind them.
Just inadvertently pushed open the door to a room.
Unexpectedly, a big fat zombie covered with mycelium was lying in ambush behind the door.
The big belly that swelled to the extreme, the scarlet eyes, and the ugly face that was so swollen that it was almost deformed, all showed that he was a powerful explosive zombie.
Without words, with a loud sound like a high-explosive grenade, the filthy flesh exploded like a bomb, and the bone fragments in the body shot out like fragmentation grenades.
At the head of the line, Jesus and the strong man behind him, Chris, bore the brunt.
The impact threw them up as if they had been hit head-on by a truck, and they both got their feet off the ground and slammed into the other team members behind him.
Fortunately, the defensive power of the Guardian's armor is indeed amazing, and the special spider silk protects their internal organs, and the two were not fatally injured, and a second before they fainted, Jesus couldn't help but curse in his mind:
", did the thermal imaging sensor fail? Why didn't you detect this explosive zombie? ”
In an instant, the Stinger Squad was overturned on their backs by the fallen man, and the whole building felt as if it had been stabbed in a hornet's nest.
The darkness around Michonne and the others was like life, and countless chaotic roars came from all directions.
After Jesus fell unconscious, the command of the team naturally fell to Michonne.
The strong knife girl stood up one by one, she glanced at the two Jesus who were in a daze, and said to the others with a heavy face:
"Quick, detonate the bomb."
"With the two of them on our backs, we had to find a terrain suitable for defense and not be surrounded by so many monsters."
When Jill heard this, he immediately pressed the button of the detonator, and the two strong male team members also consciously carried Jesus and Chris.
Without any hesitation or delay, everyone's attention was raised to the highest level.
In the continuous roar of explosions, roars, and the footsteps of countless mutant zombies.
Michonne and his party quickly settled on a direction, slowly backing away as they observed their surroundings.
Eventually, he retreated to a hidden room with only one door and window, and quickly used the old sofas, tables and chairs inside to build an improvised defensive position.
And the mutant zombies in the building reacted very quickly, and didn't give them much time, as if under the command of some force, they quickly found their hiding place.
In the sound of heavy footsteps, three tank-type zombies, tall and like little giants, appeared in front of the members of the Stinger Squad.
As soon as the three giants appeared, there were some exclamations in the team, and everyone was very surprised, and Jill couldn't help but say:
"What's going on, have these zombies learned to use shields?"
The three tank-type zombies that appeared in front of them were completely different from the ones they had encountered before.
In front of the deformed arm in front of them to protect their heads, there was an irregular steel plate that had been removed from some kind of machine.
Judging from the cratered bullet holes above, it is conceivable that this is not the first time that they have fought with humans.
And these three tank-type zombies are also very smart, they didn't enter the room directly through the door that only allowed one zombie to pass through.
Instead, he covered his head with a steel plate and stopped outside the room.
The ugly face stared through the wooden window, staring at the people inside, as if they were staring at the butcher of a few fat sheep to be slaughtered, to prevent them from escaping.
The two sides confronted each other through the window, and after a brief silence, Michonne and the others heard heavy footsteps again.
However, due to the limited visibility conditions in the room, they could not see the situation outside, but they could guess that some zombie must have approached their room.
And just as one of the team members, at the behest of Michonne, wanted to get close to the window to observe the information outside.
Two huge explosions suddenly rang out very close to them.
Boom! Boom!
Flesh and blood splattered, dirt and sawdust flying.
The room where the Stinger team was stationed, the walls at both ends of the room were directly blown out by the explosive zombies, and two huge gaps were directly blown out by the zombies.
And these two explosions were like a clarion call to attack, and the three tank-type zombies standing outside the room also had bulging muscles all over their bodies, and with heavy steps, they began to charge fiercely towards the location of the window.
The sheer size, the sheer strength, and the sturdy steel made even everyone in the room feel the ground shake.
Not only that, but at the same time, some agile hunter zombies began to enter the holes at both ends of the room.
As soon as they entered the room, they climbed onto the walls and ceiling from all directions, and then attacked the crowd from those hidden corners.
Faced on three sides and taking care of two unconscious companions, even Michonne felt the pressure in an instant.
But the warriors of the Human Union were not afraid of fighting, and in just an instant, Michonne roared angrily, and together with the other team members, the guns in their hands began to roar violently.
Although the situation was urgent, they did not have any fear, the rhythm of the battle was still orderly, and the Gil people, who had the best marksmanship, picked up assault rifles that could shoot continuously, and shot at the holes at both ends of the room, shooting the hunter-type zombies that crawled in from the holes one by one.
Even in the face of their close attacks, they will draw the cold weapons on their bodies and directly cut off their heads.
Michonne and the other two strong men decisively picked up their grenades and aimed them at the tank-shaped zombies charging at them, firing several grenades in succession.
The spear skills of everyone in the Stinger squad are very exquisite, and the impact of the grenade explosion successfully blocked the charging speed of the tank-type zombies.
However, the steel plate that was erected on their chest also protected their bodies and did not suffer much damage from the explosion.
Under the powerful impact of the three tank-type zombies, the wooden windows and the windowsills under the windows seemed to have been hit by a speeding train, and the glass sawdust flew everywhere, and the cement and bricks were cracked and pushed down, knocking out a huge gap in the position in front of Michonne and the others.
But the Stinger team was not unprepared, and after the three tank-type zombies rushed into the room, several high-explosive mines installed near the windowsill were successfully triggered with a "lie down" roar from Micaunn.
The three tank-type zombies were immediately shrouded in the flames from the bottom to the top, and their thick thighs were directly broken by the explosion and flew up, breaking away from their bodies, and their strong bodies fell directly to the ground, turning into cripples that could only squirm.
The power of the high-explosive mine is very powerful, and many debris on the ground are splashed indiscriminately under the influence of the impact, and the thin air spray knocks down many hunting zombies, and also makes Michonne and others very painful to be hit by stones.
Fortunately, the defensive power of the Guardian's armor was amazing, and Jill and the others only slowed down for a few seconds before suppressing the negative emotions in their hearts, picking up their weapons again, and continuing to fight.
Very professionally refueled the tank-type zombies that fell to the ground, as well as the hunter-type zombies that were knocked to the ground, and completely ended their lives.
However, it is obvious that these three tank-type zombies are the most elite meat shields among these mutant zombies, after losing the three of them, although the gaps around the room have been expanded, there are more and more mutated zombies, and there are even hunter-type zombies from the upper and lower floors, along the windows to sneak attack Michonne and others from behind.
But with the advantage of equipment and the physical strength of the team members far beyond ordinary people, these mutated zombies can only cause trouble for them, but cannot really hurt their armor and other bodies.
Ten minutes later, when Michonne and the others had almost killed hundreds of mutated zombies and their physical strength was seriously wiped out, a strange roar suddenly came to mind in the building.
And after hearing this strange roar, those mutated zombies who had not yet entered the battle and were guarding around this room, as if they had heard the commander's order, began to retreat quickly and orderly.
And those mutated zombies who had already joined the battle became even more crazy in an instant, directly entangled with Michonne and others, and fought until the last moment.
When the battle was over, Michonne and the others gasped and wanted to continue looking for those mutated zombies, there was nothing to be found in the entire building except for a large number of zombie corpses.
Well, it wasn't for nothing, when Michonne and the others searched the entire building, in a room on the top floor, in a room full of corpses, skeletal limbs.
They found five survivors who were in a trance, close to collapse, and after being identified by the old hunter Rosie, three of the five survivors were members of the convoy.
As for the fate of the others, looking at the corpses that were eaten in that room and only the bones remained, the results speak for themselves.
"Captain Michonne, what's next?"
"Do you want to keep tracking down those escaped mutant zombies?"
Jill held the helmet in one hand, her eyes blazing, sweat running down her black hair and running down her pretty face.
The battle just now can be regarded as the most thrilling in her fighting career.
No one expected that these mutated zombies would be able to cooperate with each other in an orderly manner like an army and fight according to different functions.
Thanks to the shelter of the room, they were able to avoid attacks from all sides, and avoid the siege of the corruptors.
If it was the ordinary survivor team facing these zombies, it was hard to imagine how those ordinary people who died at the touch could survive.
Michonne's body was already soaked with sweat, and the two katanas she carried with her had broken one, and the other had been corroded by the corrosiver's bile.
Hearing Jill's question, as the captain, Michonne hesitated for a few seconds, but decided to terminate the mission.
"The mission is suspended, and we must first escort the wounded back to the stronghold to ensure their safety, and then wait for orders from His Excellency the President."
Whether it is out of responsibility to his subordinates or the orders of His Excellency the President, in the organization of the People's Federation, in the Stinger Squad, life safety has always been one of the highest priorities.
What's more, it is still this special situation where the intelligence is completely unknown, even if they are desperate to find the intelligent zombie that may exist, they may not be able to achieve results.
Although there was some regret about Michonne's order, no one objected.
Half an hour later, with two unconscious members of the team and the five survivors who were delirious and needed to be cared for, Michonne and his party got into the truck back to the base.
However, whether it was Michonne or Jill, or the rest of the team, they were all quite depressed.
The purpose of their trip is to investigate the truth about the disappearance of the convoy, although according to the information obtained so far, it can be surmised to a certain extent that intelligent zombies were born among the zombies who can command the corpse herd and even the mutated zombies.
However, speculation is speculation after all, and without substantial evidence, this mission is not a success.
As a member of the Stinger Squad who values a sense of honor, this is already quite a setback.
But it's not without gain, with this encounter, with mental preparation, the next time they face mutant zombies, they won't treat these monsters as stupid animals anymore.
The next time they face it, they will definitely be prepared in advance to catch the guy hiding behind his back.
After all, compared to intelligence, compared to intrigues, cunning and treacherous, can these monsters be compared to humans?
When the sky fell into darkness, and Michonne and the others returned to the Virginia stronghold with the survivors, it also caused a small sensation.
