Volume 1 The Lawless Earth Chapter 8 The Trap
Updated: 2012-06-27
Knowing that Zuoge and the others were heading towards the trap of the living corpses, Zero did not panic or be impulsive, these two emotions could not turn the tide. Only by being calm and cautious can we see a glimmer of life.
Zero put away his pistol and walked towards the gate. Suddenly Mary's cry came from behind him, and he sighed and turned, his hand already on the butt of the gun.
Mary crouched next to the male corpse, chewing something in her mouth, blood and shredded flesh spilling out of her mouth like a wild beast.
Her eyes glowed red, and Mary was stunned when she saw her ghost-like self in the reflection of the zero-infrared scout. The next moment, she spat out all the things in her mouth with a "wow". If Zuo Ge was here, it would be quite surprising that the living corpse would spit out the food in its mouth, and it would be like the sun coming out of the west.
Mary's face was pained, one hand trying to grasp the minced flesh on the ground, but the other hand was holding herself tightly. She let out a strange scream that she didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and came to Sheriff Smith's body.
She stretched out her hand and stroked the cold and white skeleton of her lover, and the red light in her eyes slowly faded.
Suddenly, she turned around.
Thinking that she was going to attack herself, Zero raised her hand, and the black large-caliber muzzle of the M500 was already aimed at Mary. At such a close distance, Zero was able to blast the head of a living corpse away even with his eyes closed.
But Mary didn't pounce, she opened her mouth towards Zero, as if to say something, but the sound that came out of her throat became a meaningless syllable like "ho-ho-ho". Mary became impatient, and slammed into the medicine cabinet next to her like crazy, and after a burst of punches and kicks, she slowly crawled out again.
She lifted her head, trying to make her lips form a certain shape.
Even though she still made a syllabic sound, she could understand her words from the shape of her mouth.
"Kill me?" Zero said what Mary wanted to say.
Sure enough, Mary smiled and nodded her head. Then he looked at the sheriff's corpse next to him, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable sadness.
Even though he has become a monster, he still guards his former lover. This kind of aiqing is far more weighty than any flowery words, and it also gently touches a certain string in Zero's heart.
"Understood. Zero put away his pistol, drew his dagger, and walked towards Mary.
Mary closed her eyes with a smile.
The moment her eyes closed, the dagger whizzed into her eyebrows with a cold light. When you pull it out again, bring up a blood arrow.
The nerves in the head are destroyed, and even the strongest body of a living corpse cannot survive. Mary fell down with a thud, and lay down next to the sheriff, hugging her lover, who had turned into white bones, and died.
Zero quietly exits the medicine room and drags the two male corpses out, and Zuihou seals the room with debris.
It was the burial chamber of the two Marys, and they should no longer be disturbed by their slumber.
Zero took a deep breath and walked deeper into the darkness. He walked lightly, like a gust of wind, and like a wandering ghost, skimming through the long passage. Just around the corner, he saw a figure.
It was a living corpse, a male corpse lying on the ground, sniffing something with his nose. Then he looked up and opened his mouth to scream. A dagger was plunged into his mouth, followed by a strong hand that grabbed his chin and swung it to the right. There was a soft click, and the head of the living corpse hung down weakly, and the red light in its eyes disappeared.
Gently placing the living corpse on the ground, Zero's worry was even greater. This was obviously the sentinel of the group of living corpses, and he had already found traces of several people in Zuoge. Fortunately, he was killed by Zero just as he was about to give the signal, but Zero knew that it wouldn't be long before more living corpses would come in.
Time is running out.
His eyes fell on the sign that read "Antibiotic Storage", and Zuo Ge gestured, and Carl and Tony rushed in with guns and separated left and right. After a few swings back and forth of the gun, Karl signaled safety, and Zuo Ge walked in.
Zuoge pointed to the door, and Carl and the two nodded, knowing that Zuoge was asking the two of them to take care of the wind. Zuog himself walked towards the row of medicine cabinets in front of him, where boxes of antibiotics lay quietly. Zuoge took out his rucksack and swept the potions into it like a whirlwind. He also needed several common medicines, such as penicillin, but he didn't know if they were in stock.
Zuo Ge walked around the large medicine cabinet in front of him, and found that the cabinet behind him had fallen to the ground, and all kinds of medicines were mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish them. His gaze wandered back and forth, and Zuihou landed in a daily medicine box in the corner. It had all the things Zuo Ge needed, though not too much.
Zuoge walked over, but something flashed out of the corner of his eye.
Turn around, crouch, raise your gun, aim. The series of movements is like a cloud of peers, thanks to a long period of rigorous training, in which Zuoge has always demanded himself with an almost brutal attitude, and it has been proven that such training can often achieve unexpected results at certain times.
At this moment, for example, Zuoge reacted quickly. But in the direction the gun was pointed, a figure came out of the window with unusual agility. Zuoge snorted and hurried to follow with his gun. When he came to the window, he saw a dark passageway, but there was not even a ghost.
He thought he had misunderstood, so he put away his gun and retreated. But at this moment, a figure suddenly stood up from under the window and reached out to grab Zuoge's neck.
Zuoge's body moves faster than his head.
He leaned back first, his toes pressed the ground, and the whole person flew back diagonally. At the same time, the pistol was raised, and the plate machine was pulled. The muffler spewed tongues of fire, illuminating the ugly face of a living corpse outside the window. In an instant, the living corpse shook continuously, and several holes had been punched in the left grid in the head, and they fell to the ground and died.
At this time, Zuo Ge landed on his back, and he stood up with a quick roll, hoping that he would be lucky.
Cautiously walked to the window, looking at the living corpse, Zuoge frowned.
At this time, the living corpse should be asleep. But the fact is just the opposite, which is contrary to common sense, and Zuo Ge only thinks of one possibility.
The living corpses in this hospital, already aware of their arrival?
He was startled by his own thoughts, and Zog suddenly remembered Zero's warning, and he thought that maybe Zero was right, and that the danger in the hospital might be more than he expected. Zuog walked back, and wanted to inform Carl and the two to retreat immediately. At this moment, a faint voice came into his ears. Listening to the sound of something rubbing against the ground, Zuo looked out the window.
At the corner of the passage outside the window, a figure hangs upside down from the ceiling. Through the infrared scout, Zuo Ge and he looked at each other. In sight, the man who was hanging upside down on the ceiling suddenly opened his mouth and screamed, but no sound came out. Zog knew it was a low-frequency sound wave that only the living corpses could hear, summoning the other living corpses.
Zuo Ge cursed, didn't care about the living corpse, turned around and ran.
As he ran, Zuoge tore open his throat and shouted, "Retreat! Retreat! Damn, it's a trap!"
The living corpses already knew about their arrival, but from the time they entered the hospital to the present, the Zuoge and the others had not encountered any obstacles. This is clearly a deliberate act of the living corpses, the purpose of which is to lure them deep into the hinterland and then catch them all.
It's just that Zuo Ge can't figure it out, when did the living corpse be smart enough to set traps?
Naturally, now is not the time to study the wisdom of the living corpse. This topic is still left to the relevant experts to study.
Zuo Ge sprinted forward at a speed of ten meters per second, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the goal. After hearing his voice, Carl and the others had already pushed the door to leave, only to find that the door was blocked. After learning the news, the left grid was like an earthy color.
There was no time left for Zuo Ge to react, when a sudden strange noise came from the direction of the window. As soon as Zuo Ge turned around, he saw a figure rushing out from behind the medicine cabinet in front of him. This person uses both hands and feet, running like an animal but is extremely fast, such a strange movement posture, isn't it a living corpse?
Without waiting for Zuoge's order, Tony swept a barrage past the figure. The living corpse was about to pounce, but was hit by Tony in mid-air, and the corpse fell to the ground hard.
Tony gasped for air, looking nervous.
Then, more and more voices came from the direction of the window. Zuoge sighed, knowing that the three of them had been trapped alive in this storage room.
He took a deep breath and shouted: "Find cover, save bullets." Even if we're going to die, we're going to have to pull a few more pads!"
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen figures rushed out from behind the cabinet. The corpses were either crawling on the ceiling or hitting the ground with their hands and feet.
Carl and Tony are veterans of firepower, and they accurately calculate the angle of intersection of fire to achieve maximum lethality. The barrage of two machine guns tore through the space of the storage room, and soon left the corpses of living corpses on the ground.
However, more living corpses are pouring in, screaming and toppling the medicine cabinet. One by one, the humanoid monsters with red eyes rushed towards the three of Zuo Ge fearlessly, even if they left more corpses under Zuo Ge's firepower net, they could not make these living corpses who did not know fear take a small step back.
Zuoge was anxious.
The number of living corpses in the basement of the hospital far exceeds the data shown on the data, and the living corpses that should have stayed in the school are now here. Zog couldn't figure out if it was a small migration of the living corpses, or if it was an act for some purpose.
If it's the former, it's fine, if it's the latter, it's chilling. And judging from the fact that the living corpse actually has the intelligence to lay traps, I am afraid that the second possibility is the majority. That means that after the living corpse encountered the mission team half a year ago, it had expected that the humans would come again. That's why they abandoned their school nest and hid in the hospital, waiting for the opportunity to get fresh food like this one.
When Zuog analyzed this possibility, the machine-gun's tongue of fire lit up his face. At this moment, Zuo Ge only had shock and fear on his face!
At that moment, heavy footsteps could be heard outside the gate behind them, and the sharp sound of iron scraping the ground. The living corpses that had been besieging the three suddenly stopped attacking, and they stared at the door behind the three with panicked expressions. Then, with a strange scream, the living corpses retreated one after another, revealing a clearing, and the people on the left grid were puzzled.
There was a loud and tooth-aching thud, and a sharp iron object stabbed through the door, straight into Karl's back, and then out of his chest!
