The several mercenaries who had been on standby downstairs were startled again by the explosion sound coming from upstairs. Didn't the tank fire just now? Why did there be another explosion??
And shortly after the explosion occurred, the dense tide of corpses that had been constantly roaring and blocked outside the searchlight suddenly became quiet and stood motionless like puppets.
This 诡异 scene immediately astonished the mercenaries. What's wrong with them??
Could they be planning some new trick again??
Suddenly!!
The tide of corpses composed of tens of thousands of living corpses let out a deafening roar again!
Only this time, their roars sounded more like wailing, as if something major had happened that shocked their emotions!
Moreover, these living corpses became more and more rampage and unstable. It seemed that they could break through the ultraviolet irradiation at any time and launch an attack on everyone!
This made the several mercenaries on standby immediately tense up. Sparse weapons were aimed at these monsters, just like a small boat in a tsunami. They couldn't resist the coming danger of death at all!
About several minutes later, a member of the Tiger Squad mercenary who was on guard in the entrance hall suddenly heard footsteps coming from upstairs. This made him a little excited.
Because living corpses could never make such rhythmic and slow footsteps. Then it must be their companions and the captain coming down!
However, the number of these footsteps was scarce. It sounded like there were only a few people. But there were more than 30 people who went up...
When this mercenary raised his flashlight and shone it towards the corridor entrance, sure enough, only three people came down...
Walking in front was Xia Leng with a cold look in his eyes. In his hand, he was carrying the huge and terrifying head of the zombie king!
Behind him was the only mercenary who survived the battle. On his back was Captain Gilbert who was seriously injured and had narrowly escaped death...
Seeing this, the mercenary on guard immediately ran over and took Gilbert. Then he asked the mercenary who participated in the battle: "What about our team's Captain Philip and other members? Why haven't they come down yet?!"
"They... all sacrificed..."
......
The mercenary of the Tiger Squad immediately showed a painful expression when he heard this. Although he had expected it.
But brothers who had fought together for many years and the captain who had once protected his life were gone just like this...
However, in the apocalypse, they had long been prepared for death at any time. Because they didn't know which day it would come to them and the people around them. They only feared that their relatives would leave them first...
This mercenary took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions. Captain Philip had taught him long ago not to let emotions dominate his reason.
He saw Xia Leng who was carrying the zombie king's head aside. There didn't seem to be a single scratch on his whole body. Even his clothes were intact. Could it be that this man didn't participate in the battle at all?
However, only the mercenary who came down together knew the real situation. How terrifying this mysterious man who was hiding his true strength was...
And Gilbert was stepped on by the zombie king at that time. Since that sticky bomb was a directional explosion with a small explosion range, he wasn't killed. But he was stunned. Now he was still in a coma.
Now, including the five mercenaries on standby downstairs, only eight people were left in the team of 50. And Captain Gilbert's life and death were uncertain. If he wasn't quickly sent back to the fortress for medical treatment, he might die on the way.
So the remaining eight mercenaries immediately regrouped and reorganized into a team. And an experienced old mercenary served as the temporary captain. They quickly began to gather and board an armored vehicle.
As for the remaining three armored vehicles, they could only wait for personnel to be arranged to drive them back after returning to the company.
They quickly took the unconscious Gilbert and put him on the vehicle first. And used the temporary medical equipment inside to attach to him, hoping to prolong his life.
However, now the living corpses blocked by the searchlight were becoming more and more rampage. It seemed that they would break through the ultraviolet defense line at any time.
If this last armored vehicle was also overturned on the way, it would really be a total annihilation. Perhaps only that tank could safely drive back.
Just when everyone was extremely anxious about this matter.
Xia Leng suddenly walked straight towards the dense tide of corpses ahead!
"Hey!! What are you doing? Do you want to die?!"
When the temporary captain saw that cold man doing something inexplicable again, he immediately shouted. Now even going back was a problem, but he still wanted to do such a weird suicidal act?!
However, everyone thought that when he walked in front of the tide of corpses, he would be torn to pieces by these fierce living corpses in an instant.
But unexpectedly, the closer Xia Leng got to those living corpses, the more they let out mournful roars. And wherever he passed, those zombies actually scattered and started to retreat!
In the dense tide of corpses, a blank area with a diameter of several tens of meters was formed centered on Xia Leng. It was much better than the effect brought by the searchlight!
This made everyone stare in astonishment. Could it be the effect of the terrifying head he was carrying?
Xia Leng saw that these zombies were indeed still afraid of the head of the zombie king in his hand. Even though their lord was dead, their natural enslavement could still cause a strong deterrence to them!
"First hang this head on the roof of the vehicle. We'll talk about other things after getting out of this street."
Xia Leng casually threw this "lifesaver" to the temporary captain. When he saw the round object being thrown over, he immediately subconsciously caught it.
At the moment he caught it, a strong stench came over and splashed his whole body with thick green blood.
When the temporary captain saw that he was holding a huge and terrifying head in his hand, he almost threw it out in fright...
"What are you still in a daze for?"
Xia Leng's words immediately woke him up. Then, the temporary captain quickly suppressed the nausea and climbed onto the roof of the armored vehicle to fix the head on the antenna.
When everyone boarded the vehicle and the engine roared again, they began to drive on the way home.
When they came here, there was a team of 50 members and five armored vehicles full of people. Now there were less than ten people and one armored vehicle left. One of the two baptizer captains was killed in battle and the other was in critical condition and his life and death were uncertain...
In today's tragic situation, even if fighting against a fully armed enemy group, such a painful price would not be paid!
This made the surviving mercenaries immediately have a new terrifying understanding of these walking dead...
Driving on the street of the living dead, those living corpses still hadn't dispersed. They were densely blocking every corner of the street, emitting hungry roars.
Only when the armored vehicle with the zombie king's head hanging passed by did they scatter and flee in panic. And they didn't dare to smash the vehicle with corpse pieces like when they came. It seemed that the zombie king had become a fear engraved in their bones.
At this time, everyone sitting in the vehicle was silent. Only the sound of breathing could be heard in this heavy atmosphere.
Everyone's face showed a sad expression.
The two teams with outstanding military achievements in the fortress might face dissolution just because of this mission. Even if they were reorganized, they couldn't reach their original peak moment.
However, Xia Leng was still sitting at the rear of the vehicle with a cold face. Beside him was Captain Gilbert who was still hovering on the verge of death.
Under the protection of the zombie king's head, the remaining convoy was able to quickly drive out of this street of the living dead this time. The living corpses behind didn't chase after them either. The closer they got to the exit, the fewer the living corpses became.
It seemed that this time, the remaining people could go home safely. But there was no expression of joy on everyone's face...
However, at this moment, the driver discovered an unexpected thing that was hard for everyone to predict!
In the sky outside the street entrance that wasn't blocked by dense billboards, it suddenly turned into night and darkened...
