Chapter 272: This Place is Not Suitable for Staying Long
"Damn! What is that thing?"
Just as Zhang Su took out a cigarette to light it, he heard Wang Xin holding binoculars in one hand and pointing to the battlefield direction with the other, asking a question, his voice full of astonishment.
"What what thing?"
There was only one pair of binoculars. The others were curious, wondering what could make someone who had survived in the apocalypse for so long astonished, so they raised their rifle scopes and looked into the distance vaguely.
Zhang Su naturally looked toward the battlefield. Just one glance, and the cigarette he was holding in his mouth fell to the ground, his mouth hanging open and unable to close.
"Quick, binoculars, hurry!"
Zhang Su snatched the binoculars from Wang Xin's hand, blinked his eyes a few times to moisten them, and looked closely, his hair standing on end!
He saw a slender figure about two meters tall weaving through the zombie swarm. Its movements were very fast. Compared to it, the other zombies that were going crazy seemed to have slowed down, completely unable to keep up with the rhythm, just like an adult teasing a child in a kindergarten.
Under the firelight, Zhang Su finally saw the slender figure's cheeks clearly. It was a zombie face that looked like it had been stretched. The eyes, nose, and even the mouth had become vertical. It didn't look disgusting anymore, giving people a kind of creepy horror.
Under double magnification, he could even see the color of the slender zombie's pupils. They were no longer the scarlet of ordinary zombies, but had turned into two vertical black holes, pure black and pure black.
The slender zombie jumped, and several burning zombies were thrown high by its powerful arms, just like throwing garbage, thrown far away. The heavy objects of several hundred pounds were like nothing in its hands. With a stretch of its arm, a zombie was pierced through the chest, and then with a pull, it shattered into several pieces.
"If they aren't even afraid of fire, then they are really hard to kill!"
"Why doesn't that thing catch fire? Is it wearing some special protective suit?"
Wang Xin on the side asked curiously.
A few seconds later, a sharp whistle entered Zhang Su's ears. It was a howl completely different from ordinary zombies, and just hearing it made his heart feel cold!
Lucky, who was lying at his feet, showed a rare look of fear, very nimbly shrinking toward his heels, its tail and ears drooping.
Blazing flames surrounded the slender zombie again. This time the attack was more intense, but it was of no use. Figures burning with raging flames were shot out like iron flowers, some without arms and legs, some with only a cavity left.
Aoha!
"Brother Su, quick quick, binoculars, let me see..." Lu Yubo couldn't wait to take the binoculars and look into the distance.
It was a pity that the ordinary zombies surrounding the slender zombie had no wisdom and didn't know fear at all. Very quickly, zombies continued to rush up.
"Brother Su, I think... I think even with guns, we can't hit that ghost thing. Damn, what should we do?"
Just using the word "fast" to summarize 004 was underestimating it!
From the brief battle process just now, Zhang Su could see that 004 not only had very fast speed but also great strength. Its slender arms and legs contained violent power. He didn't know who was stronger compared to 003, but if the two zombies were to duel, he believed 003 couldn't block ten rounds...
Just like a bird crashing into a passenger plane's engine, spun by the turbine blades, it became slag directly!
"What? Brother Su, 004? 003's little brother, or big brother?"
Perhaps 004 couldn't withstand 003's heavy blow, but the premise was that the clumsy 003 could capture 004's figure; otherwise, it would only be beaten.
Zhang Su said seriously: "004 is a zombie newly modified by the Azure Dragon Legion. Xin Qi and the others only knew about this project and knew basically nothing about 004 itself. However, they were right about one thing: 004's speed is indeed fast enough, but it's not just speed..."
After a round of clearing-style slaughter, the slender zombie stood in the center of the flames, stretched its neck, and looked up at the sky, its stretched mouth howling at the moon.
"004..."
Zhang Su slowly put down the binoculars, his heart beating wildly, and said solemnly: "It should be 004!"
All this happened in a flash. Compared to the slender zombie, the other zombies were simply as fragile as a joke.
Lu Yubo, who was not afraid of heaven or earth, was a bit panicked, because the thermal weapons he thought were very powerful might not be able to solve the problem.
Soon, everyone on the roof saw 004's battle through the binoculars. That kind of oppression made them feel suffocated and powerless.
"No, I have a question I don't understand... Why does 004 attack zombies? Does it have wisdom?"
No one answered the series of questions. Everyone's heart became heavier and heavier, and they had already subconsciously imagined the scene of facing 004, feeling that there was no chance of winning at all.
Zhang Su frowned and pondered. Why 004 wouldn't be ignited, he didn't know, but he figured out another thing and said busily: "I know! Those drones earlier, except for two that dropped bombs, the others were spraying pheromones similar to those that induced 003 to attack!"
Others couldn't see the situation of the drones clearly, but he could. Combined with 004's performance, it was easy to understand.
"Then looking at it this way, it's still a brainless zombie? That's good, that's good..."
"Good my ass, it's more terrifying than ten thousand ordinary zombies, damn, how does the Azure Dragon Legion control it?"
??!!
"Right, 003 is controlled by electricity. If 004 is also controlled by electricity, now it's jumping everywhere, it can't be caught at all, how to recycle it?"
"Electromagnetic cannon, I guess."
"Stop talking nonsense, if they had an electromagnetic cannon, I would be Magneto!"
Zhang Su heard the discussion of the people around him and grinned: "I think the Azure Dragon Legion didn't plan to recycle it at all..."
"Also, Brother Su's words make sense, they're all about to hang, let's release the big move first!"
At the moment of life and death, why think so much? Maybe 004 was an unfinished product that had to be activated.
Facts proved that 004's combat power was quite strong. Cooperating with the coverage of firepower, it forcibly resisted the attack of the zombie swarm. Zombies fell one after another, and the number of the legion didn't continue to decrease, which temporarily stabilized the situation.
"Damn, damn, damn!"
Suddenly, Qi Xiaoshuai on the side called out the plant three times, pointing to the direction of the barracks in horror: "It's on fire, it's on fire, it's on fire! That thing is on fire!"
Hearing this, Zhang Su, who was thinking about how to deal with 004, took the binoculars from Qi Xiaoshuai and looked toward the battlefield. After a while, the expression on his face twisted involuntarily.
"This place is not suitable for staying long, go!"
"What's wrong, Brother Su, what did you see?"
Everyone went downstairs together, Lu Yubo asked curiously.
"004 has gone completely crazy!"
Zhang Su said nervously.
Although it was a modified zombie, 004 still possessed some characteristics of ordinary zombies. After being ignited, its combat power was further improved. A jump directly jumped a distance of twenty or thirty meters, and a jump in place was more than ten meters high...
The burning arms were like death scythes across the sky, instantly harvesting four or five lives on the wall. The solid wall was like slag in front of it, and it fell down as soon as the fire passed...
After catching fire, 004 was no longer attracted purely by pheromones and began to attack indiscriminately. Guns, cannons, mines, various thermal weapons intertwined, and the scene became more and more chaotic.
And these were not the key to Zhang Su's urgency to leave!
The key was that after 004 completed another round of slaughter, it actually let out a sharp whistle toward their location!
That wide-open mouth, slender teeth, and tongue clearly sensed their existence. Across a distance of thousands of meters, Zhang Su seemed to see the breath of slaughter from its hollow eye sockets.
It seemed to be saying, wait, wait until I finish off these scum in front of me, and then come to solve you!
"Brother Su, what's the situation, is the Azure Dragon Legion almost gone?"
The people waiting by the car saw Zhang Su and the others coming back in a hurry and asked busily.
"Get in the car, go! Go back! Hurry!"
Zhang Su didn't have time to say any information and jumped directly into the FJ Cruiser.
Everyone felt the tension in Zhang Su's words and didn't dare to neglect, following one after another to get in the car.
The convoy turned around. The cars that could turn on the lights all turned on the lights and drove away in the direction they came from.
The FJ Cruiser was still the lead car. It was very slow when coming, but very fast when going back. The speed was stepped to more than 100, and the provincial road was driven like a highway.
It was terrifyingly quiet in all the cars. Those who knew Zhang Su knew his character. They had never seen him look so nervous, even a bit panicked.
In the back seat of the FJ Cruiser, Zheng Xinyu asked Zhao Dezhu with a puzzled look. Zhao Dezhu made a face, shook his head, and waved his hands, meaning don't ask so much first.
"Still alive? Die quickly, die quickly..."
The car flew on the road, and soon passed the white church. Zhang Su muttered in his mouth.
"Big brother, is 004 chasing us?"
Zhao Dezhu felt something in his heart and asked tentatively.
"004?"
Before Zhang Su could answer, Xin Qi in the passenger seat was surprised and turned his head to ask: "Big Brother, did you see 004?"
"Wait a minute, talk after going further!"
Driving like the wind, in less than half an hour, the convoy returned to the Tianmayu intersection, three times faster than when they went!
In this half hour, the population of the Azure Dragon Legion had plummeted to 150...
What made Zhang Su feel terrified was the phased decline of the Azure Dragon Legion's population!
Before, they were falling one by one, fast or slow, but just now, the Azure Dragon Legion died three or five at a time. Without thinking, he knew whose handiwork it was!
