Chapter 300: A Brief Bloom

"What, what kind of monster is this?"

"This, he, he is Li Zhaohua, he is the captain of the Edge Squad!"

Pan Guoliang leaned over to look at the bottom of the pit. Although the clothes were tattered, the Edge Squad captain's armband was still hanging on his arm, swaying, and his identity could be distinguished at a glance!

*Ao-woo-woo! *

Seemingly stimulated by the name Li Zhaohua, the zombie roared violently at the Lishan crowd.

"Fire, kill him!"

Without waiting for the zombies to take further action, Zhang Su opened fire directly. This time was different from the past; previously, when killing zombies, he used single-shot fire, but this time he held the trigger down without letting go. As the recoil hit, his shoulders heaved, and he used both hands to adjust the aim, tongues of flame erupting from the muzzle, fully unleashing the power of the Type 95 automatic rifle.

At the same time, the Lishan people surrounding the edge of the pit pulled their bolts and pulled the triggers at the blood-red zombie in unison.

No one dared to be negligent; the zombie's appearance was simply too terrifying, giving people a feeling of "I am very strong."

*Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da. *

The sound of gunfire was incessant. The trained crowd knew to open their mouths slightly in a high-decibel environment, otherwise, their eardrums would suffer a violent impact. At this moment, everyone's mouths were not just slightly open, but wide open, because the scene before them made them feel terrified...

Zhang Su was the first to empty his magazine, but he didn't change it. Instead, he threw the rifle away, reached behind him with both hands, and two grenades appeared in his hands. Taking advantage of the short time of fire suppression, he bit off the safety pin with his teeth and threw them down.

"Why are you all stopping? Get to work!"

What's the point of holding a rifle if you can't hit the target?

During the rapid movement, the chilling eyeballs stared fixedly at the crowd, as if they would jump out of the pit to slaughter them if they caught a gap.

"Screw this!"

Debris and some steel balls from the grenades were thrown into the sky and then fell, and the scene was in chaos.

"Back off! Watch out for the grenades!"

"Oh no, run!!"

Ma Changshou naturally saw the crowd's emotions and hurriedly urged them.

As everyone stopped firing and the firepower weakened, the blood-red zombie actually discovered the grenades, kicked a broken stone slab, and rushed straight toward the direction of the grenades, looking like it intended to stage a hand-catch-grenade performance!

However, just after the grenades were thrown, an even more terrifying scene happened.

But before everyone had run two steps, the explosions sounded one after another from under their feet. The grenades successfully detonated, and the blood-red zombie's feat of catching grenades with its hands failed!

*Pitter-patter. *

This scene stunned everyone. Can you still play like this?

*Rumble... Boom! *

At the same time Zhang Su ordered everyone to open fire, the blood-red zombie also moved. Its movements were very agile, rolling and moving in the pit of less than ten square meters. A string of dirt and dust splashed by bullets followed the zombie's trajectory. People's aiming speed couldn't keep up with its shifting speed, and the scene was once out of control!

Everyone was shocked. This blood-red zombie was actually trying its best to dodge the rifle fire, showing that it still had reservations about thermal weapons, but this perverted reaction and speed made everyone feel a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

Seeing the blood-red zombie's perverted combat ability, Zhang Su instantly imagined the scene of the blood-red zombie catching the grenade and throwing it back. A chill ran down his spine, and he hurriedly ordered everyone to hide.

Separated by a wall, the Xidaying Village crowd, who were digging pits and burying people in the wasteland, looked at each other. Explosions, gunfights, and then explosions again—the series of fierce battles made them terrified. The relief of surviving the disaster had slowly dissipated, and worry was written on everyone's faces.

There was no need to consider the direction. The effective killing range of a grenade was fan-shaped, covering an area of about three hundred square meters, while the space the blood-red zombie was in was only about ten square meters—full coverage!

"Pfft, pfft, *ptui*, what kind of monster is this, damn."

"Dead, definitely dead. Damn, my head is bleeding."

"What the hell is the Green Dragon Corps' scientific department doing? They're a bunch of lunatics!"

When the dust settled, everyone was either lying or crouching on the ground. The calmed scene made them breathe a sigh of relief; they finally had time to complain.

"Reload!"

Zhang Su stood up quickly, picked up his gun, and while giving the order, he changed the magazine, looking nervously into the pit to aim.

"What? No way, Brother Su, could it be that the monster isn't dead yet?"

"How is that possible? I just saw it get hit, and then it was blown up by two grenades. Can it live through that?"

Although everyone said they didn't believe it, their actions were quite honest. They unloaded the empty magazines and inserted them back into their tactical belts, then pulled out new magazines to top them off. The whole operation was smooth and flowing!

"Damn it, it really isn't dead!"

At this moment, in the pit, a blood-red zombie lay in the pile of rubble. Its head was already too horrible to look at, much like Edward after taking a punch from Sakazuki. More than half of its skull was gone, and on the other side, the bridge of its nose was collapsed and its eyeball was gone. Even so, it hadn't lost its vital signs, and the remaining tissue in its brain was trembling rapidly.

"What the hell kind of monster is this? Is this a zombie?"

Qi Xiaoshuai covered the big bump on his head, his eyes full of horror, because the thing below that looked like a zombie was actually breathing?

The blood-red chest heaved up and down, very rapidly and violently, as if its heart was about to burst out.

"Doesn't look like it. Zombies are all dead things. Does he look like a dead thing? He's clearly a person!"

"But if it's a person... holy crap, a modified human? Awesome!"

Everyone had different opinions, staring tightly at the monster below, no one dared to act rashly.

"Old Tan, give its heart a painful shot!"

Zhang Su signaled Tan Huajun to fire; he wasn't sure he could hit it with one shot.

"Okay!"

Tan Huajun agreed and was just about to aim when he heard.

*Pfft! *

At this moment, the blood-red zombie's chest really burst open, just like a flower blooming, and blood and organ tissue sprayed out, scaring the crowd gathered at the edge of the pit to dodge.

【31/32】

At the same time, the number of Green Dragon Corps survivors in Zhang Su's mind decreased by one again. This feedback made him quite emotional. This half-human, half-zombie guy really hadn't died and still possessed certain human traits...

"He is in a state between human and zombie. I don't know how he became like this, but it's damn awesome!"

Zhang Su stood at the edge of the pit again, looking at the broken head tilted to one side and the chest in a mess, the Edge Squad captain Li Zhaohua, sighing with emotion.

If the other party were alive, even if they were unwilling to join his ranks, he would rather consume a 【Loyalty Imprint】 to recruit them, yet he never expected the other party to walk down a path of no return that was so incredibly arrogant.

Pan Guoliang shook the dust off his head and said with lingering fear: "The experimental projects studied by the Edge Squad are all perverted. There's actually such a way to turn people into zombies. Terrible, too terrible!"

He didn't know what method Li Zhaohua used to become half-zombie, half-human, but since it could appear, it would definitely be gradually perfected over time, either moving toward maturity or toward loss of control.

Regardless of which one it was, it wasn't necessarily good news for the survivors!

"Even crazier than Dr. Fu, what is all this..."

Zheng Xin looked at Li Zhaohua, whose chest had burst open, with a complex expression. She had originally thought Fu Weijun's research was already explosive, but compared to Li Zhaohua, that was still quite orderly...
