"Would you like a cigarette? Captain."
On the southeast side of Remut's outer defense line, a soldier climbed down the iron ladder from the sentry tower, and asked Green with a pack of crumpled cigarettes from his coat pocket.
Green is 35 years old, in his prime, the golden age of his life. With his 190cm height and strong muscles, Green looks like an iron tower. He has a square face with a blue stubble on his chin. Green's neck is short and thick, which makes him look like a block of iron.
In fact, during Green's 20-year career as a mercenary, he was known for his unfailing belief that he won the title of "Iron Man". As a matter of fact, the power and defense of the fifth level made Green really like an iron man, seemingly never falling down.
In Remtree, he and two other ability users who were also at the fifth level became the city's troop captain. Each of them leads about a hundred soldiers, and the three have different duties. Like Green, his team is mainly responsible for the night defense. From six o'clock in the evening to eight o'clock tomorrow morning, this time is Green's working time. For this, he was paid a thousand dollars a month.
This salary is already very high in the wilderness, after all, the average soldier is less than one hundred yuan a month.
Reaching out to take the cigarette handed over by the soldier, after the soldier decorated it with a lighter, a red light spot appeared in the dark night. Then the second red dot lit up, but it was the soldier himself who also lit one.
The soldier sucked on the cigarette, and then slowly exhaled a puff of spicy hot smoke. The soldiers looked up at the flashing red warning lights in the direction of the residential area. It was already late at night, and the citizens living in the surface buildings had already fallen asleep. Therefore, the scene of thousands of lights also disappeared. But there are still warning lights flashing, like a beacon in the dark.
"What? Want to rent a house there too?" Green yawned and looked at the soldier blankly.
The soldier smiled and shook his head to shake his unrealistic thoughts out of his head: "I really want to, but I'm still single, and it seems too wasteful to rent a unit by myself."
"Then hurry up and find a girl." Green said still expressionlessly.
"Who would want to live with a guy who doesn't know what will happen tomorrow. When I need it, I prefer to go to the red light district to find some girls to have fun, at least that's what you want." The soldier laughed and said .
Green lowered his head and said in a voice that he could only hear: "In this era of shit, who knows what will happen to him tomorrow. Maybe, those old men..."
"Captain, what did you say?" The soldier obviously didn't hear what Green said, and asked with his ears stretched out.
"It's nothing." After snuffing out half of the remaining cigarettes and putting them in his pocket, Green looked at the soldiers and said, "The night is still long, wake up."
The soldier immediately stood up straight, threw away the cigarette, and saluted: "Yes, sir."
Green nodded and walked towards the next sentry point. After walking a few steps, he stopped and said without looking back, "Next time you go to the red light district, don't forget me."
"Good captain!"
The cheers of soldiers came from behind, and Green finally showed a faint smile on his poker face. He continued walking, but at this moment, a slight vibration came from under his feet, causing Green to be in a trance for a moment.
earthquake
Green was taken aback for a moment, but the shock had disappeared, as if it had never happened. Green shook his head, not taking the shock to heart.
The soldier climbed up the watchtower again along the iron ladder, and another young soldier was yawning on the watchtower. Seeing his colleagues appear, the soldier immediately straightened his body.
"Take it easy, Yavik."
"Yes, Sir Geno."
Jeno shook his head, and said to the recruit: "Yavik, how many times have I said this. The word sir is only suitable for Captain Green."
"Yes, sir!"
Jeno was defeated by the young soldier, he shook his head wordlessly, and gestured, "Take a rest, I will stand guard, and the guard will change in two hours."
"Okay, sir." After that, the young soldier Yavik walked to the corner of the sentry tower and sat down cross-legged, holding his gun in his arms and falling asleep.
"I'm still a child." Jeno sighed, leaning his hands on the railing of the sentry tower, his eyes flicked to the vast land in the darkness.
After Theon stepped down, Jonok conducted a mass conscription. Teenage Lai Bird recruits like Yavik accounted for more than half of the total number of soldiers, and veterans like Jeno were very disapproving of the new chairman's approach. The so-called soldier does not mean that you can become a qualified soldier with a gun in your hand. But for the new chairman, there seems to be no consideration in this regard.
Jonok cares more about the quantity of soldiers than the quality of soldiers.
The wilderness under the night looks extraordinarily lonely, and the ruins of the distant city become strange silhouettes under the night. They seem to have stood here since ancient times, and have never changed at all. But Jeno knew that before the cataclysm, the huge city where Remut was located had at least three million people.
bustling!
In Jeno's mind, a very old word emerged. In the new era, there are not no huge cities, but they are far from the meaning expressed by the word prosperous. Among the surrounding wilderness cities, Remut is already considered a relatively large one. But Jie Nuo still didn't think it could have anything to do with prosperity, no matter whether the city's civilization or economy, it was far from the standard of the old era.
At this time, in Jeno's trance, there seemed to be a figure shaking in the wilderness in the distance.
silhouette
When the word was captured in the brain and expanded infinitely in the vague idea, Jeno immediately picked up the field telescope hanging beside him. The binoculars were already in night vision mode, so Jeno picked them up and looked through the binoculars. It was a clear picture, but shrouded in red.
Jeno adjusted the magnification of the telescope, and the image in the equipment was immediately zoomed in by the magnification, so Jeno saw a person.
A woman, to be exact. She was wearing a one-piece nurse's gown that reached her knees, revealing a pair of straight and long calves. The calf is obviously still wearing stockings, but there are already large holes in the stockings, thus exposing the woman's skin. She was dirty, when Jeno saw her, the soldier naturally had this thought.
Indeed, the woman in the telescope is far from clean. Large swaths of stains appeared on her clothes, and in the red night god mode, the stains looked like clotted blood spots. Half of the woman's face was wrapped in gauze and looked injured, so the unnaturalness of her walking was an excellent explanation. But when Jeno saw her face missing half of her forehead, the soldier knew what he saw.
Zombies, female zombies! There is no doubt that women are such accursed monsters. The dead body, after the intervention of a certain virus, mutated the corpse, so the dead people came back to life. They have no intelligence, only a primitive instinct to kill and a hatred for everything that lives. Any living thing that enters their line of sight will be hunted and killed most ruthlessly.
At the same time, when necessary, they release the virus in their bodies through saliva and blood, thus turning the killed prey into their own kind. This is the unique reproduction mode of living corpses, and it is also the fastest and most effective reproduction method among all mutated creatures!
The binoculars quickly adjusted the visual distance in Jeno's hands, and the soldier quickly saw a large shadow moving behind the female living corpse. A large number of living corpses are walking towards Remut like ghosts from the ruins of the city. Jeno can't imagine what it will be like if this army of the dead floods into Remut.
"Warning! Quick, Yavik, inform the captain that there are a large number of living corpses!" Jeno shouted loudly, hoping that his companions would act immediately.
But there was no response after that.
Damn it! I said earlier that recruits are unreliable!
Thinking so in his mind, Jeno turned around at the same time. Yavik must still be asleep, he thought. In the visible line of sight, there is a terrifying scene.
A skinny man was lying beside Yavik at some point. The man had long hands and feet, and sharp bone spurs grew out of his joints. He was clamping something with his long nails, Jeno looked carefully and found that it was a skull with a full head of short hair attached to it. Looking at Yavik again, the upper half of the recruit's head has been neatly opened, and the brain inside is still intact, shaking slightly again and again.
Yavik's face was calm, as if he didn't know that his head had been opened. Looking at this picture, Jie Nuo wanted to say, "Yavik, you are still fucking asleep, your head has been opened. Look, your brain is still fucking wriggling in front of me!", Ke Jie When Nuo cried out, it turned into: "Yavik, be careful!"
Hearing the yell, Yavik finally opened his eyes. But the next moment, the severe pain made his face change drastically, and he screamed. The man next to him gave a strange laugh, and his five-fingered claws directly grabbed Yavik's head, and took out the hot brain tissue and sent it to his mouth. Yavik finally didn't have to scream, because his head had become food in other people's mouths.
With a roar, Jeno touched the machine gun next to him and was about to shoot. But he found that the machine gun weighed more than a thousand catties, and it didn't move at all. Dingqing looked, but there was another strange hand pressing on the machine gun. Following Jeno, he felt a pain in his chest, a heart-piercing feeling. He looked down and was startled to see a clawed hand clawing through his chest.
His neck hurt, and in Jeno's peripheral vision, a woman was lying on his shoulder and biting his neck tightly.
If Jeno could turn around, he would see a Ripper whose feet were fixed on the outer wall of the sentry tower, and whose upper body almost got into the sentry tower.
Hearing the sound of blood being drawn away, Jeno struggled to take out a gun. With a weak smile, he pulled out the safety pin.
Sorry sir, I'm afraid I can't take you to the red light district.
Jeno thought so, and then a dazzling fire filled his eyes.
With a bang, the sentry tower where Jeno was located almost exploded into the sky, turning into a huge fireball. The explosion made Green quickly look in the direction of the sentry tower, and at the same time, under the radiance of the flames, a tall figure rushed towards the defense line like a tank.
A butcher was holding a war hammer made of crudely welded metal pipes and irregular iron blocks in his hand, and it ran towards the defense line. The butcher takes a step of ten meters, and every time a foot falls, it must leave a clear footprint on the ground. On the sentry tower that was blown away, the giant slammed into the barbed wire fence. The warhammer swung a circle and slammed heavily into the electrified high-voltage power grid.
The butcher's terrifying defensive power withstood the 100,000 volts of alternating current attack, but he still easily broke through the power grid with his warhammer, tearing a hole in what Remut thought was a strong line of defense.
Almost at the same time when he saw the butcher, Green let out a loud roar, his muscles bulged, and his bones cracked even more. In an instant, Green almost swelled up a circle, and even his shirt was torn violently by the swollen muscles. With his upper body covered in bruises, Green rushed towards the butcher.
"Enemy attack!"
While running, Green roared. But without him warning, the sudden explosion of the sentry tower is already the best alarm. After a while, there was a piercing beep, and the alarm sounded above Remut.
Green activated his fifth-level strength and defense, and immediately rushed to the butcher. Feeling his fierce murderous intent and momentum, the butcher roared not to be outdone, and walked towards Green without retreating.
The two giants collided in front of the line of defense, and violent shock waves were released from the feet of the two of them, bringing up countless floating dust. The ground crackled and shattered into fine cracks, extending to ten meters away. The shock wave of the collision almost caused Green and Butcher to float in the air, and they fell to the ground after a height of about 10 centimeters.
Green roared and punched the butcher hard on the mask. The crude iron mask immediately deformed, and the metal branches broke off, allowing Green's iron fist to sink deeply into the butcher's face. Immediately, a fracture sounded from under the mask.
The butcher yelled, backed away, and missed the swing of his warhammer. Green, who slid sideways in time, charged forward with a roar. He bumped into the butcher's abdomen, and grabbed its waist with both hands like a bulldozer, pushing the butcher from the line of defense to the field.
The Butcher tried desperately to gain a foothold, but his feet plowed two furrows in the ground in vain.
After leading the butcher in a straight charge for nearly a hundred meters, Green shouted loudly and lifted the giant alive.
For a moment, Green saw the scene in front of him clearly.
Countless living corpses rushed past him like a tide. Regardless of Green's power or the butcher's body odor, these ordinary living corpses did not dare to approach. But they flocked to Remut one after another, and a fierce offensive and defensive battle was going on on the defense line. Although the butcher had torn a hole in the line of defense, the gap had already been filled by a dozen soldiers with fierce firepower.
The high-voltage grid is still working, turning every living corpse it approaches into a roast. On the forested sentry towers, the roar of heavy machine guns resounded through the night sky, and under the intensive firepower, countless living corpses became real corpses.
But the number of living corpses is endless, and they overwhelm the power grid with corpses. And the agile figure piercing back and forth on the sentry tower made the sound of a heavy machine gun hoarse. Those are the Rippers, these extremely fast zombie mutants have become the most terrifying killers, disintegrating and expanding the gaps in the defense line!
"Damn it!" Green yelled, grabbing the butcher with both hands and pulling it down suddenly. At the same time, his right leg hit the knee, and the butcher's landing point was just at the interruption of the spine.
With a click, the butcher's spine broke in the middle. Green threw it to the ground and rode savagely on top of the Butcher. He pressed the butcher's hand tightly with his legs, then hugged the butcher's head with both hands, and then suddenly turned to the side. Whether the butcher is willing or not, with the separation of the head and the body, no matter how strong its vitality is, it will not be able to make the body stand up again.
Throwing away the butcher's head, Green let out a breath, followed by roaring and swinging his fists, turning the living corpses passing by him into real corpses. But after all, he is only one person, at best he can only splash a wave in the tide of living corpses, and his effect is very limited. But Green didn't care about these things. Every time he killed a living corpse, the pressure on the defense line would be reduced by one point.
But for a moment, there were at least a hundred corpses lying at Green's feet. And the living corpses also learned to be smart, and they bypassed Green far away, making him useless. But when Green turned around and was about to jump back to the defense line, there was a violent sound of breaking through the air behind him.
He jerked away, and a hatchet skimmed past its previous position, splitting a hapless corpse nearby in half. Green turned around and saw the army of living corpses separated to the two sides, followed by a tall figure appearing in front of Green.
Another butcher!
Green spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and took out two alloy machetes on his back. Skillfully waving the sword light, Green was about to rush forward, but suddenly there was a pain in his back. Green didn't have time to think about it, and slashed back with the machete. There is a feeling of touching the real thing from the two knives, followed by the sharp friction sound and the sparks of the big canopy appearing at the same time.
Under the starfire, a thin face was smiling secretly at Green. Green didn't expect that it was a Ripper who attacked him unexpectedly. The appearance of the Ripper was very similar to that of ordinary living corpses, so it must have been mixed in with the crowd of ordinary living corpses and made a sudden attack when its attention was attracted by the butcher.
Behind him came the roar of the butcher. While the ground was shaking, the Butcher and the Ripper attacked Green one after the other. Under the dark night, the knife is like lightning, like a lonely dancer in the wilderness, jumping out dance steps full of death.
As Grimm fights the Butcher and the Ripper, Bryan wakes up to the screams of his daughter. The accountant opened his eyes just in time to see the frightened face of his wife Jenny and hear the roar of the machine gun outside the window.
"What's going on?" Brian hurriedly put on his clothes.
"I don't know, it seems that we have been attacked." Jenny ran out of the bedroom and carried her daughter over.
After Brian was fully dressed, he held his baby daughter in his wife's arms, and then pulled Jenny and said, "Go, it's not safe here."
When the family of three ran past the house, they found that the world outside the house was completely chaotic. The neighbors in the building rushed to the elevator in panic, but the elevator couldn't accommodate so many people, so some rough men drove other citizens away with their fists to make enough space.
"Take the safe passage!"
Brian yelled at his wife, the elevator obviously couldn't go down, and the fastest way right now was naturally to leave through the safe passage. So the family and a few neighbors ran to the safe passage. Unlike the messy corridor, the safe passage was quite quiet. The dim light illuminated the stairs in the passage, and Brian felt a little relieved. He hugged his daughter, ran down the stairs with his wife and others.
When they came to the third floor, the accountant was a little happy when he saw the exit, and moved a little faster. But at this time, the exit door downstairs was slammed down hard, making a loud noise. Followed by crowds of people, several figures emerged.
"It's not safe up there, buddy, let's go quickly." Klein shouted, and quickened his pace.
His voice attracted the attention of several people down the corridor, so these people raised their heads one after another, revealing bloodshot eyes and broken faces.
Little Fanny immediately let out a scream: "Daddy, Daddy, what kind of monsters are they?"
A drop of cold sweat fell on Brian's forehead, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "Go back, run back! They are living corpses!"
