"You're the least likely person to find an Omega in this car," Chun Cao commented.
The armored vehicle rumbled on the road. The zombies on both sides of the road heard the noise and turned around, but the dust and smoke were already far away, heading towards the desolate city B ahead.
"When you said 'the most', did you include our temporary worker, Xiao Si?" Zhou Rong asked.
Zhang Yingjie, who was sitting in the front passenger seat and checking the road, turned around and laughed, "Brother Rong, you don't understand. The good-looking Beta is most popular with Omega. They say something about being considerate, gentle, and respectful …"
Zhou Rong pointed at Sinan and said discontentedly, "Which part of him looks gentle? Which part of him respects?! "
Sinan held the Uzi submachine gun in his arms and leaned his head against the wall of the shaking car. He closed his eyes and didn't even have the intention to open his mouth.
"Si Xiaonan is probably not good enough," Chun Cao objectively and fairly commented, "The best person to find is either Yan Hao or Xiangzi. Yan Hao, I won't say much. His face is good everywhere, and he is born with a melancholy and affectionate temperament. He definitely meets the requirements of gentle and respectful girls. "
Yan Hao held the steering wheel and said politely, "Thank you for your affirmation."
"Xiangzi is simple. He can use his background to bully men and women. If he can't, he can use money." Chun Cao said, "Right, Xiangzi? Someday, bring our Brother Rong along, and we can …"
Zhou Rong, Yan Hao, Zhang Yingjie, and Ding Shi, who had been laughing and listening silently, all changed their expressions at the same time, "Don't mention it —!"
But it was too late.
Guo Weixiang turned around and said slowly, "I knew you recruited me for this …"
"He's acting up again," Zhou Rong said helplessly.
In the urban area of B City, the endless streets were empty. The road was full of blackened corpses, and the rotten smell was disgusting. Flies covered the corpses and the sewers, buzzing and exploding when the car drove past.
The shop windows on both sides were all broken, the shelves collapsed, and debris was everywhere, as if they had experienced a riot.
"How am I holding the team back? What do you think?"
Guo Weixiang was agitated and filled with grief. He tapped the faces of everyone in the bus one by one. Sinan, who had been sitting next to him, had quietly moved three feet away. Now, he was sitting next to Ding Shi, with his arms crossed in the same posture as before. Even the angle of his head had not changed at all.
"When I joined the team that year, I already knew why I was chosen out of more than a thousand applications. Was there really nothing fishy about it? Why didn't you kick me out when I failed the first time? You really didn't want to use me to find a partner for you? "
"Other than failing the first assessment, what else do you think I haven't done to meet the requirements of Unit 118? Isn't my performance all these years obvious to all? I feel that no matter how you look at it, I'm qualified to stay in 118. Why is it that since I was young, people only look at my family background and never acknowledge my own ability and value? "
"Has he been traumatized before …" Spring Grass whispered.
Everyone in the team shook their heads at her in unison. Zhou Rong whispered, "I guess he was born with it."
"Then, has he had a relapse before?"
"Three times after joining the team. You didn't see the first two times, and you didn't see the third time when you were on vacation."
"You don't see me as a proper soldier," Guo Weixiang concluded firmly.
"You look at me through colored glasses. You think I'm the son of a government official who can't bear hardships, and sooner or later, I'll report and quit the team. You think that hiring me is giving face to the superiors. Moreover, my family background is broad, and you can get to know the Omega through me. It's best if I can help the team get out of singlehood. You deny my value as a member of Unit 118, although I … "
Young Master Guo was impassioned, and everyone in the bus was silent.
"But," Sinan suddenly opened his eyes and said seriously, "you can't even get out of singlehood."
There was a deathly silence.
Sinan said, "You still want to be a rooster."
Zhou Rong couldn't stop him in time, and closed his eyes in despair.
Yan Hao turned his head from the driver's seat, craned his neck to look at Guo Weixiang's face, and then slowly raised the steel plate that separated the driver's seat and the rear cabin.
B City was like a huge, ferocious beast between heaven and earth. The streets and alleys were the intricate blood vessels in its body. The deeper they went into the city, the closer they were to the terrifying heart of the monster.
The main road out of the city was blocked by cars, and zombies in twos and threes shuttled back and forth in the endless traffic jam. The car owner who couldn't escape in time was bitten to death in the driver's seat. Half of his body was caught in the seat belt, and he shook his gray and rotten face in a daze.
The direction into the city was slightly better. Although there were cars going in the opposite direction, they were all either crushed or bypassed by Yan Hao's superb driving skills. It wasn't until they got off the highway that they were blocked by the collapsed overpass.
"What should we do?" Yan Hao asked, "Turn back and find another way?"
"The GPS is broken, we still have to rely on Beidou at critical moments …" Zhang Yingjie sighed and turned on the military tablet. After a moment, he shook his head, "No, the nearest fork is two hours away, and it might have been occupied by the zombie army. Yan Hao, you're a local, come and see if Beidou is still accurate."
Yan Hao fixed the position for a long time, and said curiously, "Okay! It seems that there is still an operational ground monitoring station, it's worth setting off firecrackers to celebrate! "
Yan Hao cautiously glanced at the back of the car. Xiangzi had finished her outburst, and Zhou Rong was sitting next to him, with one hand on his shoulder, trying to persuade and educate him.
Everyone on the side was sleepy, and Yan Hao lowered the steel plate and asked, "Who wants to celebrate the fact that there are still people alive in our Beidou satellite ground station, and set off a cannon to blow up the ruins in front of us?"
Zhou Rong immediately raised his hand as if he had been granted amnesty, "Me, me, me!"
Everyone stared at him, and then turned their eyes in unison. In the center of attention, Sinan, who had been pretending to be asleep after igniting the flames of war, finally couldn't pretend anymore. He coughed, stood up, and got out of the car with his tactical bag.
Blasting was a very particular technique. Sinan took out the plastic explosives he made with nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin, soap, rubber, and chewed gum, and carefully packed them into the gaps between the stressed bricks and tiles. He used black powder as the detonator, then jumped down from the ruins and lit a military match.
He walked to the armored car and gently threw the match behind him.
The flame drew a beautiful arc in the air, and accurately fell into the ruins.
The next moment, the explosion was earth-shattering, and the wind suddenly raised Sinan's clothes!
He carried a backpack on one shoulder and put one hand in his pocket. His handsome face was expressionless, and he walked to the car door with his back facing the flames. Zhou Rong laughed, "Look at his pretentiousness …" Immediately, Huoran stood up, and even the tone of his roar changed.
"Sinan! Run — — "
Before he finished his sentence, a loud scream accompanied by violent shaking rose from the center of the explosion!
The airflow instantly sent Sinan flying, and with a loud bang, he slammed into the front of the armored car a dozen steps away!
Sinan only felt the world spinning, his vision turned black, and blood gushed out from his nose.
But at this time, he didn't have time to feel the pain. The moment his vision recovered, he saw Yan Hao and Zhang Yingjie in the driver's seat through the blurry front window. The two of them looked behind him, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
Sinan covered his nose and turned around.
A two-story tall black shadow rose from the ground, wrapped in countless pieces of rubble. His whole body was covered in flames, and his painful roar resounded through the road. Every time he pounded his chest, countless pieces of rotten flesh fell to the ground like a rainstorm.
Bang bang bang bang bang!!!
Zhou Rongyi quickly jumped onto the roof of the car, lifted the Type 89 HMG, and brazenly fired!
The bullet belt was quickly sucked into the ammunition feeder, and the metal cartridges splashed all over the ground. The black silhouette roared angrily under the barrage of bullets. He raised his foot and took a step forward!
Yan Hao rushed into the back of the car, took out an armor-piercing explosive shell, and threw it to the roof of the car. Zhou Rong didn't even look at it, caught it steadily, and loaded it into the ammunition feeder.
Then Yan Hao rushed to the front of the car to pull Sinan, but in the chaos, he saw Sinan leap from the other side of the road, rolling on the ground to hide in the green belt, and bent over to cover his head.
In the nick of time, Yan Hao didn't have time to rush over, and could only squat down to cover his head.
In the next moment, Zhou Rong pulled the trigger, and the armor-piercing explosive shell whistled through the air, blowing the monster's head off!
Boom — —
The monster didn't even have time to roar, and its body fell heavily to the ground, and finally stopped moving.
The flames burned fiercely on the rotten corpse, making a slight crackling sound. The ruins had been razed to the ground, and the Special Forces were still in shock, and they all jumped down from the armored vehicles.
Yan Hao stood up shakily, shook his head that was in great pain from the shock, and wanted to help Si Nan.
Who knew that just as he took a step to the side of the road, he heard Sinan sternly stop him, "Stop!"
"You …"
Sinan covered his nose and stepped back, "Don't come over!"
Yan Hao hesitated and stopped.
"He failed to show off in front of everyone, and needs a few minutes to calm down …" Chun Cao patted his shoulder from behind, and whispered, "Let him be angry."
Yan Hao: "…"
The flames gradually extinguished, and the rotting smell mixed with gunpowder smoke filled the entire road, and the zombies within a few hundred meters were swept away by the shockwave of the explosion.
The asphalt road was full of potholes, and terrible cracks radiated out, extending to dozens of meters away.
Sinan finally washed his nosebleed with mineral water, and walked over while sniffing. He saw everyone around the huge rotten corpse, and Zhou Rong used the barrel of the submachine gun to move the remaining head tissue of the monster, and whispered, "Chimpanzee."
Chun Cao was stunned, "King Kong?!"
Yan Hao was full of doubts, "How is it possible? It's obviously infected. "
The huge chimpanzee's whole body was rotten, and its hair was falling off, bones were exposed in its limbs, and it exuded the unique smell of zombies. The stench was actually very shocking, but no one cared about it at the moment.
Everyone couldn't believe it, and at the same time, they had a terrible conjecture in their hearts.
"If the zombie virus infects animals …" Yan Hao murmured, "It shouldn't be, we haven't seen any other animals infected along the way. Rats, insects, chickens, ducks, cats, dogs … they all walked around the zombies, and we haven't heard of any record of zombie animals attacking humans. "
Zhang Yingjie also frowned, "And how could the virus make the carrier mutate into King Kong? Did the virus itself evolve? Impossible, the direction of evolution is completely wrong. "
"It's really a chimpanzee, Brother Rong, are you sure?"
"Chimpanzees and humans have a very high genetic similarity, maybe in terms of virus infection, it's also …"
Zhou Rong ignored the discussions around him and walked to the zombie chimpanzee's forepaw on the ground.
He put on full-finger black leather gloves, tightened them, squatted down and began to search for something in the dirty and rotten hair. Sinan came over and squatted beside him, watching silently. After a while, Zhou Rong finally found what he was looking for.
At the end of the zombie chimpanzee's right forepaw near the palm, there was a thin metal chain stuck in the hair. Because the chain had become very tight now, it was deeply embedded in the blackened flesh.
Zhou Rong held the chain with two fingers and nodded to Sinan.
Sinan pulled out a military dagger from the side of her thigh and cut off the metal chain. The mangled stainless steel nameplate fell to the ground with a tinkle.
"Group E, number 71998," Zhou Rong read softly.
Sinan asked, "What does it mean?"
Zhou Rong held the nameplate with the steel seal in his palm and whispered, "Laboratory code. Someone used chimpanzees as a carrier to develop an anti-virus vaccine, but the virus mutated and accidentally went out of control … "
He slowly stood up and looked to the north.
At the end of the road, smoke billowed. Across most of the Dead City, there was the B Military Region buried in ruins.
