Chapter 683
BOOM!
The bombs made by Yu Qing were of reliable quality and successfully detonated, standing the test of actual combat without any accidents at the critical moment! To the people in the car, it sounded like one explosion, but it was actually one bomb detonating the other. Because the time difference was so small, by the time the sound reached their ears, they couldn't tell which came first.
"Success, success, it exploded, it must be a success, it will definitely kill that monster!"
Yuan Huotu muttered while driving closely behind. He believed in avoidance and the law of attraction, so he always kept positive words on his lips.
The explosion area formed a very interesting scene. Within the range covered by the purple light cluster, it was clean and empty, and through the light film, one could clearly see inside. A deep pit about one person deep and three meters in diameter was left on the spot.
Outside the purple light film, dust and smoke were flying, and soil and stone debris were jumping around...
At the same time, a shockwave pushed out from the explosion point. Zero-Zero-Four's figure pierced through the gray fog with the shockwave, rolling and landing on the ground seven or eight meters away. Gravel hit its body, but it had no reaction.
"Did it work?"
Duan Wuhu turned his head and asked Wu Lue excitedly.
"It's not moving for now, motionless, haha, lying on its side motionless, it might be dead!"
Beside Wu Lue were the stand and the screen. The drone's real-time footage was sent back. Zero-Zero-Four's slender legs were curled up, its arms spread out in a 'big' shape, and its whole body was lying on its side, face invisible.
"Really? Are you sure!"
Duan Wuhu turned his head to look at the screen, but due to the angle, he couldn't see a damn thing.
"This... Teacher Duan, it's not a human to begin with, no breathing, no heartbeat, so I can't confirm it just by it being motionless. Anyway, it's still staying like that, it's probably dead! Seventy percent..."
Wu Lue judged based on intuition.
Duan Wuhu nodded and passed the news to everyone via the walkie-talkie.
The convoy didn't stop, driving all the way along the west side of the main road running through the Shanhai District. Upon learning the news that Zero-Zero-Four was likely dead, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The members of the Dragon Head Camp couldn't help but marvel at how overbearing the explosive extract was.
Two such small explosives could cause such a shocking commotion...
Shen Linrui felt very depressed. The original Azure Dragon Corps wasn't as large as the Dragon Head Camp, and even they knew to research modified zombies. It wasn't that the Dragon Head Camp didn't have relevant scientific researchers, but unfortunately, the leader of the Dragon Head Camp only believed in force! They focused on farming to ensure they wouldn't go hungry, and then on cultivating combat ability, with almost no energy invested in technology. The only consolation was that the medical team was relatively sound.
Facts proved that technology was an irreplaceable power. Human combat power had its limits, while the power of technology was unpredictable. Tianmayu was a typical example!
Tianmayu researchers extracted explosives from mutated zombies and used them to resolve the attacks of tens of thousands of zombies, laying the foundation for the camp. The Dragon Head Camp encountered the same mutated zombies, and the result was that they were wiped out...
Originally, the Dragon Head Camp could have also possessed such an overbearing killer weapon! "Old Wu, don't we still have one bomb? Let's add another one!"
Among these people, the only one who called Wu Lue 'Old Wu' was Lu Yubo. Just as everyone felt relieved, he felt uneasy.
"Is that necessary? Okay!"
Wu Lue could tell that Lu Yubo wasn't joking; he only called him Old Wu when it was extremely important...
Since they were going to finish it off, the convoy stopped in the ruins, and people got off the cars one after another.
Wu Lue retrieved the drone and took the bomb from Duan Wuhu, frowning: "The remote control range of this bomb is only about one hundred meters. We'll need to drive back and get close to detonate it later. Who's going?"
"I'll go."
"Easy, I'll go!"
Lu Yubo and Hong Laosi spoke at the same time.
"Old Master, I'm more familiar with bombs, I'll go." Lu Yubo knew Hong Laosi wanted to help, but he was afraid he would do more harm than good.
"Let me go, Little Brother Lu, you drive!"
Zhang Su took the remote control from Wu Lue.
The others didn't argue; it wasn't necessarily because they were afraid of danger, but there were other considerations... The drone took off with the bomb, and Lu Yubo drove toward Zero-Zero-Four's direction.
"Damn, Little Brother Lu, this is our first time seeing Zero-Zero-Four this close. How is it? Does it feel more oppressive than Zero-Zero-Three?"
Retracing the path was very fast. Zhang Su sat in the passenger seat, stuck his head out to look at the big zombie lying motionless on the ground dozens of meters away, and clicked his tongue in wonder.
"It's not moving anymore, what kind of oppression is that... I'll make a U-turn first, so it's easier to leave later."
Lu Yubo retorted, then pointed the rear of the car toward Zero-Zero-Four, and took out the walkie-talkie: "Zhu Zi and I are in position, we can drop the bomb!"
"Not bad, you've improved, knowing to leave us a way out, haha."
"Hanging out with Brother Su every day, how can I not learn some experience and techniques."
Facing his good friend's praise, Lu Yubo felt very happy. Wu Lue's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Get ready, three, two... damn it, run!"
Duan Wuhu held the walkie-talkie to Wu Lue's mouth. He lowered the drone's altitude and was preparing to drop the bomb, but unexpectedly, Zero-Zero-Four, which had been lying motionless on the ground, suddenly 'resurrected.' Its slender arms scooped up a basketball-sized brick from the ground, swung its arm around like a catapult, and smashed it at the drone with a 'whoosh'! It was hard to imagine how much strength it took to throw a twenty or thirty-jin stone dozens of meters high, but Zero-Zero-Four did it! Fortunately, Wu Lue was focused enough to control the drone to pull up and dodge the attack.
Lu Yubo's side, chatting and joking aside, hadn't relaxed his vigilance at all. The moment he saw Zero-Zero-Four spring up, he slammed on the accelerator, pushing the engine to over five thousand RPM, and the front wheels kicked up a cloud of dust...
【In the error-free version!】
This wasn't actually the fastest start, because the tire grip had exceeded the limit, causing it to slip instead, but he couldn't care about finding the best torque. The smile on his face froze instantly, and he stepped on the accelerator as a conditioned reflex!
"I'll use the drone to entangle it, you guys come back quickly!"
Wu Lue shouted, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, as if he had already seen Zero-Zero-Four instantly catch up to Zhang Su and Lu Yubo, tear the car body apart, and then slap the two to death.
In reality... Zero-Zero-Four was very annoyed by the drone. Jumping left and right, it kept picking up things from the ground to attack the drone, while also gradually moving toward the crowd.
Lu Yubo could vaguely see Zero-Zero-Four's figure through the rearview mirror and cursed through gritted teeth: "I said this damn thing wouldn't be so easy to kill, damn it!"
"Oh my... watch the road, watch the road, forget about it for now!"
Zhang Su wasn't wearing a seatbelt, and the car swayed, almost throwing him out.
Soon, people saw Lu Yubo drive the car to the front. Wu Lue waited for the two to get off and said: "It's clear it's interested in us, but it hasn't dared to approach. It should be wary of our strength. Look, it stopped advancing after getting to a certain distance!"
Wu Lue pointed at the screen. The drone had already climbed to several hundred meters, hovering for surveillance.
"This guy suffered a huge loss in that battle. It's a damn miracle it survived at all, it must have left a psychological shadow!"
Zhang Su sighed, then returned the detonation remote control to Duan Wuhu.
Duan Wuhu took the remote control and said worriedly: "Call it a zombie, but it clearly retains a certain amount of intelligence and consciousness. Damn it, it didn't fall for the trap again, and it's as agile as a monkey. It's too hard to kill!"
Facing such an enemy, everyone felt helpless, a sense of powerlessness.
"Um, let me say something."
Shen Linrui stroked his chin and said: "It didn't go berserk after several provocations. How about... we just leave it at that?"
"Leave it at that? Just ignore it?"
Zhang Su pointed in Zero-Zero-Four's direction with an exaggerated expression.
Shen Linrui nodded and said: "We don't know what it's trying to do, but at least it hasn't done anything harmful to us yet. And most importantly... we have no way to kill it."
The last sentence was the key. It seemed that apart from Hong Laosi's initial suggestion of directly using a person to approach Zero-Zero-Four, there was no other way!
The situation was very helpless, but this was reality. They couldn't outrun it, couldn't beat it, couldn't kill it...
