Chapter 30: Corpse Bird Pack vs. Mutant Rat
At the gate of the botanical garden, zombies kept wandering, but they didn't dare to go over the truck.
Zhang He did not drive the truck into the botanical garden, but stopped at the door, he felt that since he chose to run, it must be an open place with a clear route, and if he entered, he would definitely be dumplings made by a group of zombies and plants.
When Zhang He saw Xu Que walking alone in the distance, he immediately jumped out of the car and greeted him.
"How are you?" Zhang He asked with concern.
"It's fine, it's just a bit of an exhaustion reaction." Xu Que dragged his tired body and waved his hand.
Zhang He naturally understood, and before Xu Que could react, he walked to the truck with Xu Que in his arms.
"You escaped?"
Zhang He felt that with so many zombies, it was impossible to win, not to mention that it was a corpse king who took the lead.
"Do you think God will lose to a corpse king?"
Xu Que showed a smug smile, but his smile was very hideous in Zhang He's eyes.
"You killed him?" Zhang He asked again with some shock.
"I can't kill the Corpse King with my current ability, and his defensive ability is not inferior to me." Xu Que explained with palpitations.
"Then he just let us go?" Zhang He was puzzled, he felt that something else was wrong.
"I fought with him for a while, and I didn't know whether I won or lost, so I could only make peace for the time being." Xu Que explained again.
Hearing Xu Que's explanation, Zhang He showed a look of adoration, although he was not in that hell scene, he also saw countless corpses.
"Shall we return to base next?" Zhang He looked around and asked.
"No, go around the city, we must have tails behind us."
Xu Que didn't look back, he had already guessed Cao Yunhai's strategy, after all, the other party would not let him go easily.
"Okay, then let's go to the Southern District to have a look, it just so happens that I also want to visit Tiger Mountain."
Zhang He helped Xu Que to get into the car, and Xu Que naturally understood what Zhang He was worried about, after all, the crisis there was really terrible.
The truck didn't travel too fast all the way, and to Zhang He's surprise, there weren't many zombies encountered along the way, and it could even be said to be very clean.
"Something is wrong!"
Xu Que had a serious expression, looking at the wandering zombies in the abandoned street and wondering.
"It's a little weird, when we entered the city, there were still hordes of zombies here, but now why are they gone?" Zhang He said.
"Hurry up, rush out!" Xu Que suddenly realized something, and hurriedly urged Zhang He.
Although Zhang He was puzzled, he did not hesitate, stepped on the accelerator, and quickly rushed out of Linjiang Street.
Just as the truck was about to rush out of the street, several black mutant animals suddenly sprang out of the buildings on the left and right, it was gray and black, and its long tail was half a meter long.
"Mutant rats!"
Xu Que got goosebumps all over his body, you must know that the mutant rat group is the most destructive among the mutant animals, not that they are powerful individual rats, but they are all predatory in groups!
Zhang He naturally saw these big rats, and even saw a rat king who was bigger than a dog.
At first, a few mutant rats rushed towards the truck, and by the time the truck was about to rush out of the street, the swarm of rats behind it had already reached hundreds!
"What are we going to do?" Zhang He asked by stepping on the accelerator.
"Speed up, get out, we can't beat them!" Xu Que did not hesitate and directly said the most authentic answer.
Zhang He stepped on the accelerator and looked at Xu Que with a shocked face, it was the first time he heard that Xu Que had something that he couldn't beat, but now was not the time to dwell on these problems, he turned his head and the accelerator didn't loosen at all, and he hit the steering wheel and merged directly into Haiqing Road.
The roar of the truck became louder and louder, and the white smoke behind it was like a fairy, but this weird picture was a bit nondescript.
The speed of the mutant rats is not very fast, and they have already begun to give up when they chase them out of the sea to clear the road, after all, the trucks of fifty or sixty miles are also faster than them.
"Whew...... It's exciting! Zhang He said with a sigh of relief.
"Not yet!" Xu Que looked around vigilantly and said.
"Huh?"
Zhang He was shocked, he didn't know what Xu Que had found, and the accelerator under his feet was still slammed.
"And I'm talking about, it's not a mutant beast, you can slow down." Xu Que signaled.
"Oh."
Zhang He didn't understand, but he still relaxed the foot pedal.
As the truck entered Haiqing Road, there was silence all around, and not even the shadow of a zombie was seen.
Just as the truck passed by the door of a café, a pile of white bones made Zhang He nervous.
"Don't be afraid, it's made by mutant rats."
Xu Que ignored the tragedy at the door of the café, and instead looked higher.
"You're looking for survivors?" Zhang He asked.
"No, even if there are survivors here, we don't dare to save them!" Xu Que said, pointing to the corpse bird that landed on the telephone pole.
"I'll go, such a big mutated sparrow?"
Zhang He was startled by the sparrow on the telephone pole, it was the first time he had seen a basketball-sized sparrow!
"It's not a mutant bird, it's a group of corpse birds!" Xu Que corrected.
"Sparrows turned into zombies?"
Zhang He was shocked by Xu Que's words, he also thought that all animals would become mutant beasts, but he didn't expect that there would be birds that turned into zombies.
"Well, not only sparrows, but all small birds will turn into corpse birds, and the most terrifying corpse bird should be crows!" Xu Que looked at the surrounding situation and explained.
"So what do we do now, go back to base?" Zhang He asked.
"No, of course such a good opportunity should be taken advantage of, after all, these guys are fighting with mutant rats, turn around and go back." After Xu Que finished speaking, he took out a piece of bloody meat and hung it next to the car.
Hearing Xu Que's words, Zhang He instantly understood, he also understood what Xu Que was going to do, and without saying a word, he turned around and returned to Linjiang Road.
Lured by the flesh, a flock of corpse birds who were waiting for the bait to be delivered to their door went crazy, and they rushed to the truck like a flood gate open.
As the "jingling" corpse bird landed on the truck, Zhang He also became nervous, after all, the truck at the moment was full of this kind of corpse bird.
"Don't be afraid, these guys are not as destructive as zombies, and the only good thing is that they are numerous!"
Xu Que easily leaned on the chair, and from time to time he threw something outside to attract these corpse birds.
As the truck returned to Linjiang Road, the group of mutant rats also ran out again.
And the moment the mutant rat swarm approached the truck, the corpse bird flock made a "clucking" sound, as if it was time to eat.
Seeing a large number of corpse birds rushing towards the mutant rat group, Zhang He and Xu Que both showed hideous smiles on their expressions.
"U-turn, let's continue!" Xu Que retracted his gaze and said.
"Howler!"
Zhang He is in a good mood, although he doesn't know who of the two sides can win, but at least he has solved a big hidden danger.
With the outbreak of the battle between the corpse birds and the mutant rats, the truck also returned to Haiqing Road.
