Chapter 187: The Corpse Whisperer

On Claymanting's side, because of the knife sister Michonne who was always supervising the actions of the three of them, preventing them from getting too close to the mutant zombie group, although there were some small battles on the way, but there were no accidents on the whole.

They tracked all the way through the reconnaissance drone, and set up some secret codes within the human association organization in many conspicuous places along the way, and walked for about two hours, and finally followed these mutated zombies into a playground-like venue.

The playground occupies a large area, with tall Ferris wheels and the wreckage of roller coasters and other rides visible in the distance, and Michonne also found its name on old maps, Kennedy Playground.

Through the footage seen by the reconnaissance drone, after the group of mutated zombies entered the playground, they did not clash with the monsters inside.

The two sides seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding in the first place, until they saw that group of mutated zombies entered a narrow underground entrance similar to the entrance to the subway, and they could no longer continue to track.

Claymanting was a little disappointed, turned her head to look at Captain Michonne, who had basically recovered her strength, and said:

"What now, Captain Michonne?"

Michonne's expression was calm, and she was silent for a few seconds, of course she wanted to rush in, but she also knew very well that the three of them plus a big man would not be able to defeat so many mutated zombies, so she could only say:

"We can only do it here, it is too dangerous to go deeper, and we can only wait for the follow-up troops of Captain Jesus to come over, and then make a decision."

Claymanting sighed slightly, although she was a little unwilling, but she had nothing to do but do so.

The three of them came to a hidden place nearby, took out the high-energy military rations they were carrying to replenish their strength, and kept an eye on the surrounding situation while closing their eyes and recuperating.

About an hour later, three fully loaded military trucks with a trail of smoke and dust finally joined them.

Jesus jumped out of the truck first, and the soldiers behind him followed suit and began to guard his surroundings.

"How's it going, have you found the location of those mutated zombies?"

Jesus' expression was full of expectation, to be honest, in this radiation zone with a harsh environment and many monsters, after performing combat missions for more than half a month, there was a lot of pressure in everyone's hearts, and no one wanted to end this mission early.

Michonne's face was not good-looking, neither affirmation nor denial, but he said calmly:

"We tracked them here, three kilometers away at the Kennedy Playground, but the zombies entered what appeared to be the entrance to a subway station."

"The entrance is small, and there may be an ambush, so we can't track it anymore and can only join you."

Jesus looked a little disappointed, but he knew that this was the right choice, so he asked:

"Have you investigated the information in the playground? Know something? ”

Michonne nodded, although the three of them did rest here, the combat engineer had also been controlling the reconnaissance drone and conducting reconnaissance above the playground, which was a must-do, and they were not lazy.

"The playground is large and there are a lot of monsters in it."

"Although the specific number of monsters has not been confirmed, it is certain that it should be more than five hundred, less than a thousand."

"There are no signs of spore infection in the buildings on the ground, at least there should be no followers."

There are hundreds of monsters in the playground, plus the hundreds of mutated zombies to be pursued, and the unknown number of monsters located in the subway station, it is conceivable that the monsters here should be at least close to one or two thousand monsters.

There were only more than forty of them in total, and they had already experienced a fierce battle, and it was too reluctant to deal with these monsters, not to mention the ammunition supply.

Jesus was silent for a few seconds, then he proposed:

"Now that we've figured out the location here, it's not too early now."

"We'd better not fight these monsters in the dark."

"My suggestion is to rest here for a night, send a team back to the temporary stronghold, and bring those more than 200 soldiers over tomorrow morning to destroy the monsters here in one fell swoop."

Michonne turned his head to glance at his team and the other soldiers, who had been on the road for another hour or two, and although everyone's faces were still scrappy, there was still a look of exhaustion between their eyebrows.

She nodded and said:

"Just follow your plan, I hope this time, I can complete the task of His Excellency the President."

………………

That night, except for Jesus and others, who returned to the stronghold to bring reinforcements, the others found the ruins of a dilapidated house that could shelter from the wind and rain, and relied on the ruins to make do for a night, during which they did not give up monitoring the playground.

Fortunately, these mutant monsters are not omniscient, and with their pitiful intelligence, I am afraid that they would not have imagined that a group of enemies would be monitoring their movements at all times a few kilometers away.

By the morning of the next day, Jesus had brought with him more than 200 soldiers from the makeshift stronghold, along with a large supply of ammunition and heavy weapons.

"The five Apache helicopter gunships left behind by His Excellency the President, I also ordered them to stand by 2 kilometers away."

"We can give us air support within five minutes if we need it."

Michonne and the others nodded, facing so much support and heavy firepower from their own side, everyone was extremely relaxed in their hearts.

To put it bluntly, with the current equipment and staffing, as long as you have a good grasp of the terrain advantage, even if you have two or three thousand zombies, there will be no problem.

The next battle was indeed as Jesus expected, although the monsters in the amusement park have undergone different degrees of mutation, and their strength is stronger than ordinary monsters, but after all, they are only flesh and blood.

In the face of the aerial missiles and heavy machine guns of the Apache helicopter gunships, the continuous bombardment of the rockets of the soldiers, and the strafing of hundreds of guns of different calibers, their fragile bodies were not much stronger than before the mutation.

However, this is also because the mutated zombies in the playground have not been effectively commanded, and in the face of the soldiers of the Human Union who have already built a defensive position, they only know how to charge brainlessly and take the initiative to step into the trap they have set in advance.

Soon, however, when Jesus, Mihune and the others had cleaned up the playground of mutated monsters, another problem lay ahead of them.

Looking at the entrance to the subway that was less than five meters wide in total, they were faced with a choice, whether to send a large army into the subway station to deal with an unknown number of monsters inside, or to send only elite soldiers into it as before.

You know, according to the current common sense, the inside of the subway station must be black and black, without any light.

Not only was the terrain narrow and rugged, but there were various obstacles that prevented them from organizing large-scale battle formations.

Moreover, it is located in a dark and humid environment underground, and there is a high probability that there will be an environment infected by fungi and viruses, and there are an unpredictable number of followers and other unknown monsters.

If you send out the inhabitants of the stronghold behind you who are not professionally trained and protected by metal armor, the slightest confusion is likely to lead to mass casualties.

As the commander of this battle, as a member of the Human Union, this is something that both Michonne and Jesus have to think about.

Looking at the entrance of the black hole, Jesus couldn't help frowning, he took out a cigarette and smoked it, looked at Michonne opposite and said:

"What now, send our Stinger Squad and the Death Corps in?"

Michonne shook her head very dryly, and said:

"No, we can't bury the lives of the soldiers in vain."

"We don't know the information inside, the armed mechanical dogs sent in by the combat engineers were destroyed by the monsters inside less than thirty meters away."

"They're obviously intellectually intelligent, and they're no longer brainless monsters like they were just now."

"Besides, even our Stinger team can't hide from the bile of those corrosives in the dark, and if you enter, your life will also be in danger."

Jesus shrugged his shoulders and asked:

"So what to do now, you can't just stay on it stupidly and do nothing."

Michonne was also a little undecided, she couldn't send the Stinger Squad down, but no one but them was sure that they would be able to defeat the monsters in the dark underground.

"Why don't you let Miss Clairementine take a look at the armed giants and find out what's going on?"

With the thickness of Tom's armor, even if he encounters an attack from the corroder, there will not be much danger.

It's just that if you go in alone, you can easily be besieged by monsters.

However, just as the two were discussing how to carry out the next task, at the entrance of the subway station in the dark, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps, and in less than ten seconds, more than a dozen tall figures quickly walked out.

The two of them immediately became vigilant, rolled over, and hid their bodies in the bunker next to the subway intersection, and the other members of the Stinger team who saw the movement also quickly rushed over.

However, the scene that greeted their eyes surprised everyone very much.

The dozen or so tall figures were all tank-type mutant zombies more than two meters tall, and what made the survivors even more frightened was that these tall tank-type mutant zombies were actually wearing a complete set of metal armor.

Although it was rusty and filthy, it was rather rough and crudely made, as if it had been randomly welded with some iron and steel plates.

However, the makers are obviously quite aware of the zombies' weaknesses, and each mutated zombie's helmet is made of a rather hard and heavy metal material, which can greatly enhance the defense of their heads.

And just when everyone wanted to pick up their arms, call out to their comrades, and start a difficult battle, a hoarse sound like sandpaper rubbing against glass came from behind those tall tank-type zombies.

"Despicable humans, you have invaded the territory of the Corpse Whisperer Empire, but the magnanimous Emperor has decided to give you a chance."

"Get out of our territory quickly, or you will be eaten alive in an endless tide of corpses."

This guy who calls himself the Corpse Whisperer Empire hides behind a tank-type zombie, and his voice is stammering, very ugly.

But the English in his mouth stunned everyone present.

Everyone didn't expect to meet a monster who could speak human words here, and looking at him like this, his intelligence was obviously very high, reaching the level of being able to communicate with people.

Jesus was the first to react, and when he saw this abnormal scene, he did not choose to attack recklessly, but tentatively shouted:

"Who are you? Is it a human or a zombie? ”

The hoarse voice was silent for a few seconds, and then replied:

"We are neither humans nor zombies, we are evolutionaries, we follow nature's choices, embrace evolution, we are corpse whisperers."

Jesus wanted to ask again, but was rudely interrupted by the hoarse voice.

"The Corpse Whisperer Empire is extremely powerful and fearless of any enemy, but we don't want to be your enemy right now."

"The Emperor will give you half a day to withdraw from our territory, or you will die here."

After saying this, the tank-type zombies that stood in front of everyone seemed to have received some order, formed a strong human force, escorted the figure behind them, and quickly retreated into the darkness of the subway entrance.

And in the space between their bodies, both Jesus and Michonne saw a flash of purple skin.

It wasn't until a few minutes after the monsters had left that everyone was talking about it in whispers, some surprised, some terrified, and many more indifferent.

Since the apocalypse, all kinds of monsters have popped up, and there are even monster-level beings such as super mutants, so even if something strange appears, it is not too surprising.

After a long silence, Jesus looked at his teammates, and then at Michonne, who was also silent, and said:

"Captain Michonne, things are getting complicated, and it looks like we're going to have to ask the president for a decision."

Michonne was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke:

"Yes, whether or not to be an enemy of the so-called Corpse Whisperer Empire is not something we can decide."

"We have to report this to His Excellency."

………………

Soon, Leon, who was still congratulating himself for being very lucky during this time, received a communication from Michonne.

Through the eloquence of the former lawyer, he learned the whole story.

Empire of the Corpse Whisperers.

Well, it's only been five years since the radiation zone appeared, and there are already monsters who dare to call themselves empires.

As a human with normal intelligence, Leon certainly wouldn't believe the nonsense of these monsters.

Moreover, the monster that can speak with human beings and communicate with Jesus and others with human minds could never have evolved naturally in his opinion.

Even if the mutated zombies have awakened their intelligence, it is likely that they have awakened their memories before death, or that Freemasonry and some mysterious organization are to blame.

And the purple skin mentioned by Jesus naturally made Leon think that Murphy, who was still raised as a rich man in the organization, was also able to control zombies, and he also slowly turned into purple skin, and there was probably some unknown connection between the two.

However, now, they know too little about the Corpse Whisperer Empire, and it is indeed not suitable to directly fight them, but it is too dangerous to be able to control the mutated forces.

So Leon thought about it for a while, and then told Jesus and Michonne of his command.
