Chapter 44 A Deadly Situation
"Bang!" A cloud of blood mist instantly erupted from the skinless zombie's body, but this shot did not kill it.
Upon seeing the result, the middle-aged man quickly shouted!
"Evacuate! Evacuate!"
After saying that, the middle-aged man, under pressure, quickly ran to the mall entrance, closed the door, and picked up the military shovel in his hand, attaching it to the handle!
The zombies inside the mall were blocked and stopped pouring out!
"Hurry! Retreat!" After finishing his business, the middle-aged man waved his hand and led his three men toward the eastern crossroads.
The skinless zombie that was at the western intersection is still standing there, motionless.
The middle-aged man chose to avoid him and retreated in the opposite direction.
Just then, Han Shuo saw that before the four people below had even taken two steps, a large number of zombies suddenly poured out from the crossroads on the east and west sides!
"This...this..."
Han Shuo stared wide-eyed, somewhat frightened. In just a short moment, hundreds of zombies had appeared visibly below him!
Han Shuo looked left and right. In addition to the hundreds of zombies below, more and more zombies were running towards the mall in the distance!
"The scream of that skinless zombie just now! Could it attract and gather other zombies?"
Han Shuo suddenly remembered the sharp roar from earlier. These zombies were not behaving as usual; instead, they seemed to be receiving a command and were gathering here one after another.
The fact that it had no skin made Han Shuo realize that it was also a mutant!
This is the second mutant that Han Shuo has encountered. Unlike the last one, this mutant actually appeared here!
Captain Wang once said that mutants usually only appear in places where there are no zombies, so why is this mutant the opposite?
That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is the ability of this mutant, which is even more terrifying!
That means summoning all the zombies in the vicinity!
While Han Shuo was thinking, the four people below had been forced back by the sudden surge of zombies and returned to the main entrance of the mall!
There are only two routes out from here: east and west.
At this moment, both sides were filled with endless zombies, leaving the four with nowhere to retreat!
Besides the middle-aged man, Xiao Zhao, who had just used the sniper rifle, also knew about the mutant's abilities.
That skinless mutant was called the Spirit Zombie.
Xiao Zhao had seen this information before; the intelligent zombie itself was not strong in attack, and could even be said to be the same as ordinary zombies.
The only unique thing is that when it discovers a human, it will emit a piercing scream, attracting all the nearby zombies to gather. When other zombies arrive, it seems to have intelligence and retreats to the back of the horde.
That's where the name comes from.
By this time, the intelligent zombies had already disappeared, disappearing behind the horde of zombies.
Looking at the endless zombies before him, Xiao Zhao felt a pang of self-reproach and even more despair.
If my shot had hit the smart zombie's head and killed it, we wouldn't be in this desperate situation now!
The middle-aged man noticed Xiao Zhao's unusual behavior, patted Xiao Zhao on the shoulder, and said something.
"It's not your fault, don't give up!"
The middle-aged man never meant to blame him. Xiao Zhao was the person he valued most, because among the soldiers he brought, Xiao Zhao was the most accurate marksman. It could be said that he almost never missed!
The reason for this failure was that they didn't know that the roar of the Spirit Zombie also had a dizzying effect. It was this unintentional detail that affected Xiao Zhao's aim!
Even he was unaware of this; their records did not mention the existence of the intelligent zombies.
"Yeah, even the captain hasn't given up, so it's not my turn to give up!" Xiao Zhao's desperate eyes lit up again as he raised his rifle and started firing wildly.
At this moment, the horde of zombies was only 50 meters away from them!
With the mall at their backs, the four were fighting a desperate battle. They all knew that the chance of survival was less than one percent, but none of them wanted to give up.
If you could look down from the air right now, you would see that zombies within a 3-kilometer radius are constantly gathering towards the shopping mall, and there are no fewer than 10,000 zombies in this area.
"Leave the front to me, you guys deal with the zombies on both flanks!"
The middle-aged man threw away his empty rifle, picked up the military shovel from Xiao Zhao's waist, and charged towards the front!
Just as the middle-aged man rushed over, Han Shuo felt a surge of joy, but that joy quickly turned into regret.
Because, from the moment the middle-aged man made his move in close combat, Han Shuo confirmed what he had in mind.
"As expected! He's also a superhuman!"
The middle-aged man's performance far exceeded that of the average person; he could smash a zombie's head with a single punch and sweep several zombies down with a single kick.
With the military shovel in hand, he took down several zombies in a few seconds!
However, through observation, Han Shuo always felt that this person was somewhat weaker than Captain Wang.
Of course, he is still several times stronger than Han Shuo himself!
Han Shuo vividly remembered Wang's fierce and violent fighting style that day, how he easily dealt with the horde of zombies by charging into it all by himself.
The person below, however, was merely fighting and roaming along the edge of the horde of corpses.
"Although it has definitely broken through the limits of the human body, the combat power is different."
Han Shuo felt a strange mix of emotions. He knew that as long as he came into contact with the middle-aged man, he would definitely get the information he wanted to know.
However, there were simply too many zombies below. If it were just the middle-aged man alone, there might be a chance he could escape. But it was clear that the middle-aged man's actions indicated that he did not want to abandon his soldiers.
Although the three behind them had strong firepower and sufficient ammunition, as time went on, they would eventually run out of bullets, and the middle-aged man would eventually become exhausted.
Han Shuo believed that if there were only one or two hundred zombies, the four people below, with a 'superhuman' and their guns, should be able to handle it.
But what's truly despairing is the endless stream of zombies arriving from afar.
And the instigator just now: the intelligent zombie.
He was wandering aimlessly in the nearby open space, as if admiring the perfect painting he had created!
"It's hopeless." Han Shuo sighed. If nothing unexpected happened, death was the only thing waiting for the four people below.
"Bang!" Xiao Zhao pulled a grenade from his pocket and threw it into the horde of zombies. The pressure was immense. While the three of them were reloading, the zombie encirclement moved forward another two meters.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
After one grenade was thrown, the other two would occasionally throw one as well.
The grenades were quite powerful. Because the zombies were clustered so tightly, each grenade could easily kill a dozen or so zombies. But soon, other zombies would fill the gaps.
The situation is getting worse.
"I didn't expect them to have grenades. If they had enough, they could have held out for a while."
Unconsciously, Han Shuo glanced at the intelligent zombie. The four people below couldn't see it, but he could see it clearly from upstairs.
