Chapter 210: Doggy Sheds Tears

~11 min read 2,135 words

This shout was inexplicable, but it gave the Rescue Team a fright.

They had risked their lives to come and save someone, yet was it the instigator of this chaos?

For a moment, all the soldiers looked at Bai Chonghuan; whether to believe it or not depended on what the Division Commander would do.

Bai Chonghuan was wearing a protective helmet, so others naturally couldn't see his expression; he swallowed the saliva he'd produced out of envy for the Mecha and gave the order directly.

"Continue setting up the cableway, but don't cross over yet. You two, go see how Xiao Qi is doing."

He would neither lose his footing because of the suddenly appearing Mecha, nor could he simply believe what the other side said; it wasn't that he didn't suspect the person on the opposite roof, he had to go see for himself.

Liu Mu's shouting didn't have much impact on Bai Chonghuan's side, but the group of people on the roof of the building was truly thrown into disarray.

"Bai Chonghuan is right across! Let them go up and kill him!"

A long, narrow fisherman's hat covered most of the man's face; the exposed chin had traces of decay, forming black-red scars. "For the New World!"

Dozens of people uttered a faint, low vow, "For the eternal existence of humanity, for the birth of the New World!"

Not to mention the thoughts of the people on the two buildings, Niu Boyi, who had just saved someone, had heard the words of both sides clearly.

Gouzi heard it, which meant Liu Mu heard it; for a moment, she didn't know how to evaluate this Division Commander Bai, whom Ma Si kept insisting was very strong.

What kind of caliber is he, daring to be as reckless with his life as she is? Was the Viper of that day just eating for free!?

Liu Mu could blow everyone on the opposite side to bits with a single shell, but the preparations on the other side were clearly more than that.

【Locked by a missile, but the target is not you, Host. Shall I intercept?】

"If I don't intercept, I'll die, huh," Liu Mu opened her arms, and two light orbs the size of ping-pong balls flew into the air.

At the same time, the people on the building took action, pulling long guns from under their tattered clothes and firing toward this side.

Looking at the direction of the bullets, they were almost all aimed at the same person in the Rescue Team.

Liu Mu was puzzled; even she couldn't distinguish the people in uniform combat suits, so how did they pick their target?

However, none of that mattered, because there was a new situation on Niu Boyi's side.

The rescued female soldier was protected by Gouzi, but countless Zombies had climbed up all around them, and they were already surrounded.

The combat effectiveness of the Zombies was very average, but they couldn't be stopped, like endless ants; just looking at them made one's scalp tingle, and the key was that these things had no sense of pain and no fear.

"That's not right!?"

Liu Mu didn't have time to look at the results after firing; if she didn't move immediately, she would be buried by Zombies. "Why are these Zombies attacking me?"

The Mecha had already isolated her human scent; logically, in the eyes of the Zombies, she was no different from a car burned into an iron frame on the side of the road.

"Is someone commanding them?"

Liu Mu quickly understood this point; Full-Scene Vision allowed her to quickly lock onto a person on the building, the very man whose face was mostly covered by the fisherman's hat.

After a burst of flame impact, the surrounding Zombies all turned into charred remains, and she took the opportunity to jump out of the encirclement and climbed directly up the outer wall of the building.

As for whether that someone on the other side was hit, Liu Mu believed that person wouldn't die so easily; the combat suits they wore had bulletproof functions, and as long as the attack power didn't exceed that of a Barrett sniper rifle, it was basically hard to kill them.

Basically, anyway, but the other side was clearly there with the purpose of killing; Liu Mu had only climbed halfway when she heard a loud gunshot.

Woof, there really was a sniper!

Liu Mu had to look back; fortunately, the people in the Rescue Team also had some combat experience, and when they realized guns were being drawn here, they had already found cover.

Tsk tsk, unfortunately, those building frames ravaged by disaster were no different from foam boards; this shot rustled through the debris and pierced straight through.

That was a close call; Liu Mu accelerated, and in less than half a minute, she reached the fifteenth floor.

Just as she flipped onto the roof, two explosions came from far away in the sky, like thunder on a clear day.

But anyone with experience could tell that it was clearly the sound of some kind of missile exploding.

The people on this building didn't notice at all, because they discovered that this Mecha really wasn't on their side; it attacked as soon as it came up, showing no martial virtue at all.

Over there, Bai Chonghuan was alarmed; he had noticed the two white lights the Mecha shot into the sky earlier—were they actually going to intercept missiles?

"Damn it, fire for me! These dog bastards have a big eagle behind them, keep your eyes on us!"

With a shout from Bai Chonghuan, the cableway was no longer set up, and the soldiers scrambled to find positions to fire.

But there were over a hundred people on the other side, while they only had a dozen or so, and they had to be careful not to hit the Mecha; for a time, the attack results were not ideal.

Of course, that was their wishful thinking; the guns in their hands wouldn't even leave a scratch on Zero.

The reason Liu Mu spent time entangled with this group of people was just to catch that scarred man.

To actually be able to control Zombies—this was a fresh novelty she hadn't seen in her past life.

Curiosity and the desire for knowledge suppressed her desire to kill; like an eagle catching a chick, she chased that person directly across the nearly five-hundred-square-meter roof.

Fortunately, the Mecha had a target-locking function, so even if the crowd was chaotic, she could accurately pursue him.

This point clearly also made the other side feel puzzled, but the man didn't seem too panicked after realizing Liu Mu was chasing him; instead, he methodically commanded the Zombies below to attack the other two buildings.

Zombies were not the zombies from old-fashioned movies; although their movements were slow, their bodies were not stiff, and they could even perform movements that exceeded human limits, such as folding and twisting at will.

Liu Mu also noticed that the frequency of the Rescue Team firing toward this side was decreasing; she took a glance and realized that Zombies had already climbed up. Niu Boyi's side wasn't easy either; Gouzi's attacks relied on its mouth and claws, but it detested the Zombies' rotting bodies and stench, so it adamantly refused to use its mouth, and was even moved to tears by the smell.

"Woof woof woof, Master, they are so stinky, Doggy doesn't want to fight them, Doggy is going to throw up..."

The young female soldier Ai Qi was stunned; well, she was terrified and then stunned—the big Military Dog that saved her life and protected her... threw up.

She didn't know if she had seen it wrong, but Gouzi seemed to despise these Zombies very much, and its pupils, which were larger than tennis balls, actually had a somewhat pitiful light.

Uh...

Ai Qi had also lived long enough to see everything; she pulled out her gun and immediately fired at the Zombies attempting to approach. "Big Brother Dog, are you being poisoned by them? Should I stuff my clothes into your nostrils?"

"Woof woof woof!" Gouzi shed tears; how had it not thought of this method? But, Master should have left the mask for it, "Woo-roo~"

Ai Qi naturally couldn't understand dog language, but the big dog was nodding, and she said happily, "Wait a moment, I'll beat this wave back, one minute!"

One minute later, Ai Qi tore off the Bulletproof Combat Suit she was wearing, took off her warm fleece jacket without a care, revealing a short-sleeved shirt underneath and a set of bulging, solid muscles that were completely unexpected.

'Vajra Barbie?' Niu Boyi remembered that his Master Liu Mu had once shown him a video; Master wanted to train to have this kind of muscular physique, but it was a pity that her muscles still weren't big enough yet.

Ai Qi naturally didn't know that a dog would evaluate her muscles; she just used a dagger to slice, tearing the fleece jacket into two halves with a rip.

"Come, quick, plug it up, bear with it a little!"

Ai Qi had worked with military dogs before and knew that Gouzi's nose was particularly sensitive, so when she rolled up her clothes, she could wrap the zippers and other metal accessories inside, which minimized irritation to the soft skin.

Niu Boyi suppressed the urge to sneeze and shook his head; the smell was still there, but it had been reduced several times over, finally reaching a tolerable level.

This big sister is so smart, it rubbed its large head against Ai Qi in a very friendly manner, but unfortunately, it was simply too big, and Ai Qi fell onto her bottom.

"It's fine, it's fine, hahaha, I'm fine!" Ai Qi's stature was considered petite even among women, and she had a chubby baby face; if not for the fact that she knew an ancestral Fighting Technique, she would never have been able to join the military.

Therefore, she was particularly prone to putting on a brave front; usually, if anyone called her short, small, or cute, she would guarantee a fight with them. Because of this, she usually applied dark-toned makeup to herself and always kept a straight face, putting on an appearance of being stern and humorless.

Those familiar with her didn't like to point it out, but most of them felt deep down that her feigned seriousness was very cute.

Niu Boyi naturally didn't know this, nor did he think she was cute; he just wanted to be friends with her.

In this interval, another large group of Zombie climbed up, and the person and the dog cooperated in such a way that they didn't suffer any losses at all.

While they were killing Zombie with tacit understanding on their side, things were terrible over at Bai Chonghuan's side; they had to pay attention to dodging gunfire while also attacking the Zombie, and some people had already been wounded.

"Drag them down, pay attention to wrapping the wounds, and do not come into contact with these things."

They had protective suits and weren't afraid of airborne transmission, but once there was a wound, they would be infected in almost minutes.

The wounded didn't dare to be careless either, directly pulling out Hemostatic Gel to spray on their wounds and wrapping them tightly with Bandage.

Having seen large-scale infections, not a single one of them wanted to become one of those things.

However, because of this, the Rescue Team gradually couldn't cope, the distance between them and the Zombie kept closing, and the danger coefficient rose sharply.

Bai Chonghuan clearly felt the targeting from the building opposite; while commanding, he had to dodge repeatedly, but a bullet still grazed his face.

Perhaps it was due to the high mental tension, but this graze didn't draw blood; instead, some silver-white fragments fell off, and there was almost no pain.

Noticing this, he directly concentrated his energy to make a layer of metallic silver-white appear on his body surface, and instead, he didn't need to be overly nervous.

But he was still injured; a pitch-black Military Dagger had viciously pierced through his shoulder.

A hoarse voice was almost pressed against his ear, making Bai Chonghuan's scalp tingle; he instinctively fired a shot backhand while rolling forward, and when he looked back while enduring the sharp pain, his eyes also turned red.

The one who attacked him was none other than a teammate—a teammate who had turned into a Zombie, whom he had shot in the head.

This cannot go on!

He still maintained his composure, but the surrounding soldiers were almost forced into hand-to-hand combat with the Zombie; the situation was dangerous!

"Prepare to evacuate!"
