Chapter 31: The Big Shot
Updated: 2012-07-18
In the moonlight, they were ragged, like refugees. Of course, there won't be any refugees on the way in the big night. These people were surprisingly pale, but their eyes glowed red. There are more or less rotten muscles on the body, and even more serious ones have seen Bai Sensen's bones.
They are living corpses, monsters in human form. Likes to be active at night and catch humans and all living creatures for food.
Now, the living corpses are staggering down the road. And Zero saw that behind them, there were more living corpses coming out of the direction of Silvertree City.
"Thirty, if not more. Ji'an put down the infrared telescope and said worriedly.
Teddy said nervously, "What then, we'll leave right now?"
"No, let's see. "Zero direct negation.
Naturally, the living corpses would not come out for a walk, and there was no food outside Silvertree City, so it was impossible for such a group of living corpses to come out for predation. Two years ago, there weren't many living corpses in Silvertree City. After Zero killed the leader of the living corpse and the butcher who acted as a thug, the nascent social system was destroyed. Living corpses without leaders and without restraint either die in cannibalism or leave Silvertree City for further afield.
Now these thirty or so living corpses should be all the remaining numbers in Silvertree City. Now that the living corpses are pouring out of their nests, it is more appropriate to move en masse than prey. Silvertree City no longer had any extra food to provide for the living corpses to survive, unless they ate their own flesh and blood like the old living corpse Zero saw. Otherwise, because of hunger, the remaining living corpses will definitely fight among themselves, and the surviving corpses will not live long.
These living dead people just use the night time to hurry. During the day, they hide in the shadows or bury themselves underground and wait until dark to continue their journey. It's an unknown journey, and the end point may be a few kilometers away, or thousands of kilometers, or ...... There is no end at all. Who knows.
The campfire in the camp was extinguished and everyone was hiding in their cars. As long as nothing else, there is a good chance that the migrating hordes of living corpses will ignore them. But seeing that the team of living corpses was getting closer and closer to the road in the direction of the farm, Ji'an and the others became nervous. Zero frowned, the living corpse is a monster with a very sensitive sense of smell and hearing, and once these people are nervous, their body temperature will rise. If you make the slightest noise, you'll have to fight the living corpses.
Although with the combat power of the previous side, there should be no problem in completely destroying these thirty or so living corpses. But in this way, Zero can not guarantee that there will be no casualties. At the very least, women and children with weaker constitutions have a hard time escaping the bite of a living corpse.
The corpses were so busy hurrying that they didn't notice a green-skinned car parked on the edge of the abandoned farm not far away. So the people in the car, watching the living corpses gradually pass by, were relieved.
It's just that the god of luck seems to have left suddenly. For a living corpse suddenly stopped in the middle of the line, and he sniffed hard, and then turned around and looked in the direction of the car. Then, the living corpse broke away from the group and staggered in the direction of the farm.
", get ready to fight. Jian cursed and unlocked the pistol.
Once fired, the gunfire is sure to attract the attention of other living corpses. They don't look like they walk slowly, but when they find food, they run faster than rabbits and move more flexibly than monkeys. And in such an open place, even if there are anti-aircraft machine guns pressing the formation, it is difficult to ensure that the living corpses cannot cross the fire net.
Fighting meant casualties, but now they had no choice.
However, Zero's hand was pressed on Ji'an's gun: "Don't shoot, I'll come when I go." ”
With that, Zero floated out of the car silently like a ghost. Like a cautious cat, he lowered his body and sneaked towards the lone living corpse under the cover of low trees and dirt slopes.
At a distance of several meters from the living corpse, Zero hid under a low tree, silently watching the living corpse keep approaching.
Five, four, three...... The distance kept getting closer, and Zero's breath grew more and more slender until it fell silent.
The living corpse came to the bottom of the tree, and his keen hearing noticed a strange noise in the tree. The voice was very soft, but it couldn't hide it from him. The living corpse looked up, only to see a flash of white light, and then lost consciousness.
Zero hooked his feet upside down on the branches, hung down the low tree as the living corpse passed, and pierced the eyebrows of the living corpse with the dagger in his hand, destroying the nerves in his head and stopping the function of the living corpse. He jumped lightly from the tree, gently pressed against the living corpse with his back, clasped his shoulders with his arms backhand, and carried the real corpse behind the tree.
Watching Zero quietly solve a living corpse, the faces of the people in the car became a little unnatural. Especially Ji'an, he couldn't help but touch his neck, and was glad that his head was still on his neck. After dealing with this living corpse, there were no other living corpses approaching, and the people in the car were truly relieved to see their team gradually move away.
There was no danger to get through the night, before the sun came out during the day. The green-skinned car started up, waking up many people who were still asleep, and then turned around and headed off for the road, continuing the unfinished journey.
While they continued to Remut, a convoy arrived at the Z7 base at the same time.
The convoy consisted of two composite armored vehicles, one in front and one in the rear, and a black sedan with an old-era look in the center. The black sedan has an ordinary appearance, but the inner layer is made of composite armor, which is strong enough to withstand strong impacts. This car with such a magnificent appearance and practical nature alone is not above the cost of an armored car, and it deserves the word luxury.
An hour before the convoy arrived at the base, Jetto, who was temporarily in charge of managing the base, waited outside the base with the surviving miners. It was the Parkland chaebol's convoy, and Jetto had heard that it was a big man who had come this time.
The convoy stopped at the gate of the base. Two big men in black suits got out of the car, and they respectfully opened the door. When a pair of dark black military boots stepped through the door, Jackto and everyone else bowed their heads deeply.
Stepping out of the back seat of the sedan was a young man. He looks like he is only in his twenties, and has short blonde hair. He wore a dark red leather robe with a high vertical collar, and the leather robe was beautifully made, completely different from the rough clothing of the era. The chest of the robe is decorated with black ornamentation. It was a pattern of a sword and a shield, with a taste of the knightly style of the old days. The cuffs of the robe have two rounds of black patterns each, which make the robe more luxurious.
The young man's retinue was half-bent, not only out of respect for the man's identity, but more importantly, out of awe of the organization that the robe represented.
The organization is called the "Dark Council", and this robe is the uniform of the "Blood Knights", a military group affiliated with the organization!
