Chapter 296: Melee Combat Begins
After Chief Steward Wang gave the order, Han Shuo quickly threw the Gatling gun in his hand to the spot, and then drew the Tang sword from his waist.
Because the defensive line formed by everyone was in a circle, and the alien creatures thrown by the giant zombies were all inside the defensive line, they could not rashly use firearms to deal with the alien creatures.
Because that way, a stray bullet could easily injure one's own side.
"brush!"
After drawing his Tang sword, Han Shuo turned and ran towards the nearest super-strong zombie.
He shouted something behind him as he ran, without turning his head.
"Fatty, Xiao Zhao! Don't go too far when you're clearing out the aliens."
"yes!"
"knew!"
The two responded quickly, then drew their weapons and joined the battle.
They both understood what Han Shuo meant. Their evolution levels were relatively low, so the risk of close combat against alien species was quite high.
Han Shuo told the two of them to stay close to him so that if they encountered danger, he could go and help them temporarily.
In this way, hundreds of genetically modified humans were suddenly separated from the defense line.
In less than a minute, about fifty or sixty alien creatures were thrown over here.
Meanwhile, the others continued firing, halting the advance of the zombie horde a hundred meters away, while they began clearing out the alien species falling from the sky.
The scene became increasingly chaotic.
...
At this moment, Han Shuo had been entangled with the super-strong zombie for several seconds but had not found an opportunity to attack.
Because he knew that the monstrous zombie was very strong, and he didn't have a shield with extremely strong defense like the fat man, he didn't dare to easily confront it head-on.
If he were to be careless and get punched by a super-strong zombie, his small frame would likely be seriously injured, if not killed.
He needs a chance to strike decisively!
Soon, the opportunity arrived.
After dodging an oncoming claw, Han Shuo gradually shifted his position to the left of the monstrous zombie.
From this position, he finally had the chance to wield his knife.
brush!
A flash of light appeared in the moonlight as he plunged his blade directly into the left eyeball of the super-strong zombie.
Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly drew his Tang sword.
A gush of murky yellow blood erupted instantly, and the monstrous zombie froze in place for two seconds before collapsing to the ground.
"It's a pity about the turbid fluid in its head."
Han Shuo sighed with a hint of regret.
At this moment, he had no chance to collect the turbid liquid, because the next moment, another clawed zombie slammed down five meters in front of him.
Helpless, he could only pick up his Tang sword and charge forward once again.
...
Time passed slowly, and the encirclement of the distant zombie horde gradually closed in, while more and more alien species were being thrown over.
Most low-evolutionary genetically modified humans would gang up on a single alien species in groups of three to five.
This is not only safer, but also more efficient.
Humans with genes that have evolved to level 3 or higher, such as Han Shuo and Qing Yu, are already capable of handling things on their own.
With their improved reaction abilities, as long as they are careful, they will not face much risk when fighting alien species one-on-one.
Although the number of genetically modified humans is much larger, it still takes some time to completely kill a highly defensive mutant like the armored zombie, even if several genetically modified humans gang up on it.
While fighting, Han Shuo glanced at the scene.
Besides Manager Wang, there is another person who can quickly and instantly kill armored zombies.
That is, Wang Bahu.
"What's going on?!"
"How did he become so strong? Not only can the aliens not touch him at all, but every single one of his strikes can accurately hit the weakest point in the alien's body?"
Han Shuo was shocked. The combat power that Wang Bahu was showing at this moment was several times stronger than when he last met him.
"Could it be that he has completed his fifth evolution?"
"Yes, that must be it. Shurou said that the fifth evolution will strengthen the brain and improve its computing power."
"Wang Bahu's behavior at this moment does indeed fit the description of the fifth level of evolution."
In a split second, Han Shuo made an analysis in his mind.
His expression instantly turned grim. Wang Bahu had become even stronger, which was definitely not good news for them.
However, Han Shuo didn't think too much about it. He knew that his attention should be focused on the alien creature in front of him.
Judging from the current situation, they are at a significant disadvantage in this war.
Whether everyone can survive is a question, so thinking about Wang Bahu's affairs is clearly a waste of his energy.
brush!
The next moment, Han Shuo swung his sword and killed another mutant, then quickly rushed to his next target.
The battle never stops, the journey never ends...
He paid no more attention to anyone else, but Wang Bahu focused his gaze on Steward Wang.
He realized that his older brother was killing aliens much faster than he was.
What does this mean? Wang Bahu, whose IQ had been enhanced, immediately understood.
"Damn it, I thought you were stuck at level 5 evolution. Today I found out that you've already completed your sixth evolution!"
"Yue Zongyang and you old bald monk really kept it a secret, you haven't announced it to the public at all!"
"snort!"
He snorted coldly, and after figuring things out, he looked away.
With his intelligence enhanced, he is no longer the same person he once was.
In many situations, he is no longer impulsive; he has learned to analyze and think things through.
...
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
"Ah! Ah! Ah..."
The sounds of artillery fire and bombardment echoed across the battlefield, this time mixed with screams of agony from the human beings.
Some were crushed to death by zombies, while others were killed directly by alien species...
When zombies and alien species come into close contact with the defensive line, humans die continuously on the battlefield.
Qingyu, who was not far from Han Shuo, was already bloodthirsty.
So far in the battle, he has killed no fewer than five aliens, an efficiency that far surpasses that of other genetically evolved level 4 humans.
Keep in mind that he himself has been maintaining a level 3 evolution.
The reason Qingyu was more efficient at slaughtering alien species than others was because he occasionally adopted a fighting style of trading injury for life.
He didn't dodge any of the attacks from the aliens; he just wanted to withstand the blows so he could retaliate and kill them.
Unbeknownst to her, Qingyu, though not suffering any fatal injuries, was already covered in wounds.
"The more of each enemy I kill, the better our chances of winning become!"
He kept repeating this phrase to himself.
Qingyu was deeply committed to his mission, and as a soldier, he felt it was his duty to help everyone in a life-or-death situation.
In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Steward Wang; both of them would fight to the bitter end for the greater good of humanity, even at the cost of their own lives.
