Watching the sparks light up in front of him, Ray, driving the armored vehicle, smiled and said,
"The lv2 armored vehicle can't even be scratched by anti-tank mines, let alone these bullets thinking they can stop me, that's underestimating me."
"Jarvis, report the damage to the vehicle."
"Sir, the vehicle's damage is less than 1%."
"As expected."
Ray smiled again, pressed the accelerator to the floor.
Boom—
Instantly, a roar like that of a fierce beast sounded, the horsepower of the lv2 armored vehicle was pushed to the maximum, tires screeching on the ground leaving white smoke, instantly breaking through the defensive line formed by the soldiers and successfully breaching the checkpoint.
Glancing at the rearview mirror, seeing those soldiers with stunned faces left behind by the armored vehicle, Ray immediately instructed, "Jarvis, take over the driving."
"Understood, sir."
After speaking, Ray stood up and left the driver's seat, "Yuqing, continue to monitor the road conditions, Zhizhou, get ready with the weapons and grenades."
"Understood!"
Liu Yuqing, waiting in the co-driver's seat, and Zhao Zhizhou, holding an assault rifle, immediately responded.
"One last gift for you!"
Ray, with a smile on his face, opened the weapon bag and pulled out the modified version of the RPG-7 rocket launcher that had never been shown from start to finish.
"This is..."
The moment Zhao Zhizhou saw this massive weapon, her expression froze.
She remembered that among the weapons they had obtained from the police station earlier, there was no rocket launcher!
At the checkpoint, watching the armored vehicle quickly receding into the distance, the group of soldiers decisively gave up continuing to concentrate fire and instead turned to deal with the survivors assaulting the checkpoint.
But just as they were about to stop firing and turn around, three black dots suddenly appeared in their line of sight.
This became the last scene they saw before their death.
Boom boom boom—
Three rockets in a triangle formation suddenly descended, exploding with flames several times more intense than a truck explosion, and at the same time, a shockwave far surpassing the explosive force of a tanker truck explosion instantly swept around.
The first to bear the brunt were the more than a hundred soldiers. They were directly turned into ashes by the flames and shockwave of the explosion, disappearing into the air.
Following that were the still burning trucks and some trucks that had not exploded.
The massive shockwave and flames engulfed them, blowing them into pieces, and as the debris scattered, it directly sliced through the survivors nearby.
The scene was extremely bloody, almost unbearable to witness, but fortunately, the next second, the massive shockwave and flames arrived, directly taking their lives away, sparing them any pain.
At the same time!
The entire cross-river bridge also experienced violent vibrations, with concrete flying and steel cables snapping, as if it could collapse at any moment.
As for the area hit by the rockets, it was inevitably blown into a large hole, almost causing the bridge to break off completely.
However, this also successfully formed a barrier, completely sealing off the survivors and the zombie horde from crossing the bridge and catching up with Ray.
Plan successful!
Ray, holding the rocket launcher on the roof of the armored vehicle and looking at the barrier of flames in the distance along with the faint sounds of despairing screams, calmly put away the rocket launcher and turned back into the vehicle.
His actions, although seemingly cold-blooded and cruel, were indeed the way to survive the apocalypse.
As long as I don't die, anyone can die!
Just like earlier at the checkpoint, where the survivors, in their desperation to live, did not hesitate to shoot at him.
Liu Yuqing and Zhao Zhizhou naturally understood this principle as well, so they had no objections to his actions.
Bang bang bang—
The armored vehicle continued its pace unabated, ruthlessly knocking aside all vehicles blocking the way.
In less than a minute, the exit of the cross-river bridge came into their view.
"Jarvis, what's the situation at the bridgehead now?" Ray slowed down the vehicle and asked.
Jarvis paused for a second, then his voice immediately responded, "Sir, all military personnel stationed near the cross-river bridge have evacuated. There are no suspicious individuals at the bridgehead at this moment."
With an understanding of the bridgehead situation, Ray further inquired, "Are there any dangers nearby? What's the distribution of zombies like?"
This time Jarvis's pause was longer, taking three seconds before replying, "Sir, the explosion at the cross-river bridge has attracted the attention of a zombie horde of approximately five thousand, including several evolved zombies and zombie animals."
Ray frowned, "Evolved zombies? And zombie animals?"
"Yes, sir."
"Zombie animals, that's a first." Ray pondered for a moment, "Can we access related footage?"
"The footage has been captured and displayed on the tactical screen."
"Zhizhou, Yuqing, come take a look." Ray immediately handed over the driving to Jarvis, called the two women over, and led them to the tactical screen behind the co-driver's seat.
Ray and Jarvis's conversation was naturally heard by the two women, and they too felt concerned about the situation reported by Jarvis.
Hearing Ray's invitation, they immediately followed him to the tactical screen.
On the screen, four videos were playing simultaneously, all related to the zombie horde, but the content was the same.
The difference was that the four videos were from four different angles, capturing the appearance of the zombies in the horde from four directions.
Looking at the streets where the zombies were walking, it was the expressway leading directly to the cross-river bridge!
On both sides of the passage, residences were sparse.
The passage was jammed with various vehicles.
Judging by the direction of the vehicles, they were all survivors fleeing from Shangbian City to Donghai City. After passing through the checkpoint of the cross-river bridge and preparing to head to Donghai City, they encountered last night's turmoil and were blocked here, eventually being swallowed by the outbreak of zombies in Donghai City and left behind.
As the surging horde of zombies appeared, cars were directly flipped over, and vehicles with lower bodies became stepping stones for the zombies, getting completely wrecked.
However, these were not the main concerns of Ray and his team. What really caught their attention were the very conspicuous evolved zombies in the footage, as well as several zombie animals whose body sizes had increased by more than double!
After a detailed count, there were twelve zombies with distinct features. What concerned Ray the most was an enormous zombie giant estimated to be over ten meters tall, and behind it, a mutated zombie with a pair of flesh wings, though it seemed incapable of flying.
As for the zombie animals, in addition to a large number of zombie dogs, there was also a zombie tiger, a zombie gorilla, and a zombie lion!
Their sizes had all increased by more than double compared to their original sizes!
But their appearance was no longer the majestic and powerful look of the past; instead, it was extremely horrifying.
Like those zombie dogs, the flesh on their stomachs had almost completely rotted away, exposing their stark white bones!
And the zombie tiger, zombie gorilla, and zombie lion, with their already massive sizes, had become even larger after becoming zombies, doubling in size, unfortunately, their skin and flesh had rotted away, giving a more shocking and horrifying visual impact compared to the zombie dogs.
