Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Intelligent Zombies
Without sunlight, the light in the building is very dim, which is basically blind to ordinary people.
However, the Guardian armor is equipped with a night vision system, so the dark environment has no effect on Jesus, Michonne and others.
In order to cope with the upcoming battle, everyone could be said to have gone all out. Not only did they spray a layer of corpse odor spray on their bodies that could block odors, they also took strength potions to increase strength, and hunter potions to increase reaction speeds, but they also took recovery potions that could quickly heal injuries after being injured.
Although on the surface everyone looks the same as before, under the influence of the drug, their body functions have far surpassed those of ordinary people and have almost reached the level of top athletes.
Coupled with the most advanced equipment and weapons, this is the foundation of the Stinger Squad's powerful combat capability.
Although this state will not last long, in a short period of time, each of them can be regarded as an ace special forces soldier.
Sneaking slowly and carefully in the building, everyone soon found traces of the monster.
In the spacious buildings in Zhejiang, many mutated zombies are hidden on the ceiling, walls, and closed corners, both in the light and in the dark.
Moreover, unlike the aimlessly wandering zombies outside, these mutated zombies seemed to have fallen into some kind of hibernation, staying motionless in their hiding places, without heartbeat, without breathing, as if they were a piece of cold stone.
This phenomenon is extremely rare and beyond everyone's expectations, and it made everyone very nervous.
The three tank-type zombies that appeared before them were completely different from those they had encountered before.
Jill held the helmet in one hand, her eyes were bright, and sweat flowed down her black hair and on her pretty face.
But as they continued to go deeper, they discovered more and more monsters. On the first floor alone, they found almost a hundred mutated zombies. Although most of them were hunter-types that were easier to deal with, it would obviously be very difficult if they attacked together.
"What's going on? Have these zombies learned to use shields?"
Well, it wasn't completely fruitless. When Michonne and the others searched the entire building, they found a room on the top floor that was full of body parts, skeletons and broken limbs.
With the sound of heavy footsteps, three tall tank-like zombies, as big as little giants, appeared in front of the Stinger Squad members.
I just accidentally pushed open the door of a room.
Although everyone was very cautious, they obviously underestimated the cunning of these monsters. Just when they thought that all the monsters in the building were dormant, they could go directly into their core and take down the mastermind behind the scenes.
Just as one of the team members, at Michonne's instruction, wanted to get closer to the window to observe the information outside.
Fortunately, the room provided shelter for them, allowing them to avoid attacks from all sides and evade the siege of the corruptors.
No one expected that these mutated zombies could cooperate with each other in an orderly manner like an army and fight according to their different functions.
Michonne's body was soaked with sweat. One of the two samurai swords she carried with her was broken, and the other one was almost corroded by the corroder's bile.
But the soldiers of the Human League were not afraid of fighting. In just a moment, Michonne roared, and together with the other team members, the guns in their hands began to roar violently.
The strong swordswoman stood up, glanced at the unconscious Jesus and the other two, and said to the others with a heavy face:
As soon as the three giants appeared, there were some exclamations in the team. Everyone was very surprised, and Jill couldn't help but say:
Two huge explosions suddenly sounded very close to them.
Walking at the front of the team, Jesus and the strong man Chris behind him were the first to bear the brunt of the attack.
The darkness around Michonne and the others seemed to have life, with countless chaotic roars coming from all directions.
Moreover, this is a special situation where the information is completely unknown. Even if they try desperately to find the possible intelligent zombie, they may not necessarily get any results.
The purpose of their trip is to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of the transport team. Although based on the intelligence currently obtained, it can be speculated to a certain extent that intelligent zombies have emerged among the zombies that can command zombie groups and even mutated zombies.
These three tank-type zombies were also very smart. They did not enter the room directly through the door that only allowed one zombie to pass through.
Although their appearance has not changed much from the zombies encountered before, it is obvious that they have become two completely different monsters. I just don't know what changes have taken place in the abilities of these monsters?
Jesus informed everyone of his discovery using the silent communication system in his armor.
After Jesus fell into a coma, command of the team naturally fell to Michonne.
Judging from the bullet holes on it, it can be imagined that this is not the first time they have fought with humans.
They stopped and walked along the way. Jill, Chris and other team members who had learned blasting techniques in the academy for a few days installed explosive bombs quietly in some key locations.
They found five survivors who were in a trance and close to collapse. After identification by the old hunter Rose, three of them were members of the transport team.
"Do you want to continue tracking those escaped mutant zombies?"
In front of the deformed arms that were protecting their heads, there was actually an irregular steel plate that had been removed from some unknown machine.
"Captain Michonne, what do we do next?"
The ugly face stared at the people inside through the wooden window, as if he was a butcher staring at a few fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, trying to prevent them from escaping.
The huge impact force threw them up heavily, as if they were hit head-on by a truck. The two men's feet left the ground and slammed heavily onto the other team members behind them.
However, speculation is just speculation after all. Without substantial evidence, this mission cannot be considered a success.
Michonne and her group quickly determined a direction and slowly retreated while observing the surrounding environment.
Those mutated zombies that had already joined the battle became even crazier in an instant, and directly entangled with Michonne and others, fighting until the last moment.
But it was not without gain. After this experience, they were mentally prepared. Next time when they face mutated zombies, they will no longer treat these monsters as stupid animals.
However, with the advantage of equipment and the team members' physical fitness far exceeding that of ordinary people, these mutated zombies can only cause them trouble but cannot really harm their bodies such as armor.
When the battle was over, Michonne and the others were gasping for breath and wanted to continue looking for those mutated zombies, but they found nothing in the entire building except a large number of zombie corpses.
The mutated zombies in the building reacted very quickly and did not give them much time. As if under the command of some force, they quickly found their hiding place.
In an instant, the members of the Stinger Squad were thrown to the ground, and the entire building looked like a hornet's nest.
Unexpectedly, a fat zombie covered with mycelium was lurking behind the door.
However, after a brief discussion, out of confidence in the defensive capabilities of the Guardian's armor, they decided to continue with the plan of a frontal breakthrough.
"Suspend the mission. We must first escort the wounded back to the base and ensure their safety, and then wait for the order from His Excellency the President."
Whether it is out of responsibility to subordinates or the orders of His Excellency the President, in the People's United Organization and in the Sting Squad, life safety has always been one of the top priorities.
As for the fate of the others, looking at the corpses in the room that had been eaten until only bones were left, the result was self-evident.
Michonne and the other two strong men decisively picked up the grenade launchers, aimed at the tank-shaped zombies charging towards them, and fired several grenades in succession.
"Carrying the two of them on our backs, we must find a suitable defensive terrain. We cannot be surrounded by so many monsters."
After hearing this strange roar, the mutated zombies guarding the room who had not yet entered the battle began to retreat quickly and orderly, as if they had heard the orders of their superiors.
Everyone in the Stinger Squad is an expert marksman, and the impact of the grenade explosion successfully blocked the charging speed of the tank-type zombies.
Half an hour later, Michonne and her team got on the truck back to the base, taking the two unconscious members of the team and the five unconscious survivors who needed care.
But the members of the Stinger team were not unprepared. After the three tank-type zombies rushed into the room, accompanied by Michonne's shout of "Get down", several high-explosive mines installed near the windowsill were successfully triggered.
Amid the continuous sounds of explosions, roars, and the footsteps of countless mutated zombies.
No words were needed. With a loud noise like a high-explosive grenade, the filthy flesh and blood exploded like a bomb, and the bone fragments in the body shot out like fragmentation grenades.
Although the situation was urgent, they were not afraid at all, and the rhythm of the battle remained orderly. Jill and his men, who had the best marksmanship, picked up assault rifles that could fire continuously and kept shooting at the holes at both ends of the room, killing the hunter-type zombies that crawled in from the holes one by one.
Bang! Bang!
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and dirt and wood chips flew everywhere.
In the room that the Sting Squad was guarding, two huge gaps were blown out in the walls at both ends of the room by the exploding zombies.
The two sides confronted each other through the window. After a brief silence, Michonne and others heard heavy footsteps again.
The power of the high-explosive mines is extremely strong. A lot of debris on the ground splashed randomly under the influence of the impact. The gushing air waves knocked down many hunting zombies, and Michonne and others were hit by stones and suffered a lot.
Once the two sides go to war, these high-explosive bombs will be able to cause huge damage to these zombies in an instant.
Even when facing their close-range attacks, they would draw out their cold weapons and directly chop off their heads.
Surrounded by enemies on three sides and having to take care of two unconscious companions, even Michonne felt the pressure for a moment.
Without any hesitation or delay, everyone's attention was raised to the highest level.
As a member of the Stinger Squad who attaches great importance to honor, this is already a big setback.
Fortunately, the defensive power of the Guardian Armor was indeed amazing, and the special spider silk protected their internal organs, so the two did not suffer fatal injuries. In the last second before he fainted, Jesus couldn't help cursing in his mind:
"Damn it, is the thermal imaging sensor out of service? Why didn't it detect this exploding zombie?"
His extremely bloated belly, scarlet eyes, and ugly face that was swollen to the point of being almost deformed all showed that he was a powerful explosive zombie.
Upon hearing this, Jill immediately pressed the button of the detonator, and the two strong male team members also consciously carried Jesus and Chris on their backs.
However, it is obvious that these three tank-type zombies are the most elite meat shields among these mutated zombies. After losing them, although the gap around the room was widened, there were more and more mutated zombies, and even hunter-type zombies from the upper and lower floors, along the windows from behind to attack Michonne and others.
However, due to the limited vision conditions in the room, they could not see the situation outside, but they could guess that there must be some zombies approaching their room.
Hearing Jill's question, as the captain, Michonne hesitated for a few seconds, but decided to terminate the mission.
Moreover, these zombies are not just dormant. Jesus keenly sensed that their bodies were emitting a light green fluorescence. In the thermal energy sensing system attached to their helmets, a large number of hyphae that looked like human veins covered the zombies' bodies.
Its huge size, immense strength, and solid steel even made everyone in the room feel the ground shaking.
They finally retreated to a hidden room with only one door and window, and quickly built a simple defensive position using the shabby sofas, tables and chairs inside.
"Quick, detonate the bomb."
Although everyone was a little regretful about Michonne's order, no one objected.
Under the powerful impact of the three tank-type zombies, the wooden windows and the windowsills under the windows seemed to be hit by a speeding train. Glass and wood chips flew everywhere, and cement and bricks were cracked and knocked down, creating a huge gap in front of Michonne and others.
Instead, he protected his head with a steel plate and stopped outside the room.
If it were ordinary survivors who faced these zombies, it would be hard to imagine how those ordinary people who would die at the slightest touch could survive.
He very professionally shot the tank-type zombies that fell to the ground, as well as the hunter-type zombies that were knocked to the ground, ending their lives completely.
The two explosions were like clarion calls for an attack. The three tank-type zombies standing outside the room, with their muscles bulging and heavy steps, began a fierce charge towards the window.
There must be something wrong with the abnormality, and the unknown is often more dangerous than it seems.
However, whether it was Michonne, Jill, or the other team members, they were all in a very depressed mood.
However, the steel plates erected on their chests also protected their bodies and they did not suffer much damage from the explosion.
After they entered the room, they immediately climbed up the walls and ceiling from all directions, and then attacked everyone from those hidden corners.
Fortunately, the guardian armor had amazing defensive power. Jill and the others only took a few seconds to suppress the negative emotions in their hearts, picked up their weapons again and continued fighting.
Not only that, at the same time, some agile hunter zombies began to crawl in from the holes at both ends of the room.
Eventually, a complex network was formed in the brains of these zombies.
The three tank-type zombies were immediately enveloped in raging flames from bottom to top. Their thick thighs were blown off and flew away from their bodies. Their strong bodies fell directly to the ground and became cripples that could only crawl.
The battle just now was one of the most thrilling ones in her fighting career.
And based on the situation here, the monsters that attacked the transport team are most likely these mutated zombies.
More than ten minutes later, when Michonne and others had killed almost hundreds of mutant zombies and their physical strength was seriously depleted, a strange roar suddenly sounded in the building.
The next time they face each other, they will definitely be prepared in advance to catch the guy hiding behind.
After all, when it comes to intelligence, conspiracy, cunning and treachery, can these monsters compare to humans?
When the sky fell into darkness, Michonne and others brought the survivors back to the Virginia base, which caused a small sensation.
