Chapter 166 A Mission to Suicide
"Hmm? These people walk really fast."
As soon as Han Shuo stepped out, the two guard teams disappeared without a trace.
However, he clearly remembered the direction those people were heading, waved to the fat man, and hurried over.
It's clear that the guard team is quite strong; they cleared out all the zombies along the way.
The zombie's body lay sprawled in the middle of the road, and the two continued their investigation following the direction in which the body extended.
"Han Shuo, what missions have those two guard teams ahead taken on?"
The fat man was also very curious. They had stayed here overnight and hadn't found anything unusual in the vicinity.
"I think so. Before they came out of the building, I saw that they didn't have a car, so the target was probably nearby."
Han Shuo responded without turning his head, then led the fat man cautiously forward along the wall.
He didn't want to expose the two of them to each other.
Before they knew it, the two had walked about two kilometers, turning left and right.
As soon as he turned the corner, Han Shuo quickly stepped back and turned to speak softly.
"Shh, keep your voice down, they're not far ahead."
The fat man nodded, indicating that he understood.
Ahead, the two guard teams were clearing away the surrounding zombies.
They didn't use guns; they only used melee weapons to solve the problem.
Because there were two genetically evolved humans at level 3 in the guard team, the two dared not utter a word.
Soon after the zombies were cleared out, the escort team moved forward again.
Twenty minutes later, Han Shuo followed them to the outskirts of the city.
The two could only distance themselves again, hiding behind a tree and secretly observing with binoculars.
At this moment, Han Shuo noticed that the people in front of him suddenly stopped. One of the captains opened his mouth and kept talking, as if he was giving orders.
Unfortunately, the two sides were too far apart, and Han Shuo couldn't hear a sound from here.
"What are they doing? Why did they suddenly stop?" the fat man asked in a low voice, somewhat puzzled.
"I don't know, let's wait and see."
As soon as the words were spoken, the guards began to move, this time in a dispersed manner.
Everyone scattered and found a hidden place to hide.
This action truly baffled the two of them. They hadn't seen any danger ahead, so why were these people so vigilant?
This feeling is like deploying a battle plan.
But the next moment, Han Shuo understood.
He found a soldier hiding in a tree.
The soldier stood on a tree branch and pulled out a sniper rifle from behind his back.
He then got into position and aimed into the distance.
All I heard was...
With a "bang!", the soldier fired, and the bullet flew straight into the distance.
The two heard the gunshot clearly because the sniper rifle was not equipped with a silencer.
What is he playing?
Han Shuo was very puzzled.
Time passed slowly, and about a minute later, a roar suddenly came from afar.
"Boom, boom..."
Along with it came the sound of running footsteps.
"No way!"
The fat man stood there stunned, because he was extremely familiar with that sound.
At this moment, Han Shuo was still gazing nervously into the distance.
After the sound, he quickly spotted a black dot in the distance.
As the black dot drew closer, the unidentified creature gradually came into view.
Just as he had guessed, it was a giant mutant!
However, it wasn't the one they had encountered at the military base before.
Compared to the giant zombie's height of over 20 meters, this giant mutant is rather short.
It is only about 15 meters long, but it is fatter. Of course, it is not extremely fat. The rest of its body is fine, but its belly is a bit big.
It also lacks bark-like skin and looks no different from an ordinary zombie.
Overall, this giant mutant looks like a regular zombie magnified ten times.
Han Shuo immediately understood: the bullet had hit the giant alien creature.
The bullets were only intended to lure the giant alien species several kilometers away.
And these two guard teams actually planned to ambush and kill it here?
As for why they were able to accurately locate the giant alien species, Han Shuo knew without even thinking.
This must be the work of an underground research institute.
"Don't those in power always issue rescue and supply retrieval missions? I never expected there would be a mission like this to exterminate alien species."
"Sigh, it's really tough on these people. After all, they belong to the guard team and have no right to refuse missions. In the end, they can only bite the bullet and come."
In Han Shuo's eyes, this mission was nothing short of suicide.
Ordinary mutants are already difficult to deal with; countless humans have died at their hands, let alone the even more terrifying giant mutants.
He had faced giant zombies head-on before and knew how terrifying these alien species were.
The oppressive feeling upon getting close was truly suffocating.
Although both teams were prepared, Han Shuo felt that it was still unlikely to eliminate the giant alien species intact.
There will inevitably be a heavy price to pay.
...
"They've gone mad! They've gone mad!"
The fat man also noticed the giant mutant, shouted, and turned to run away.
"What are you standing there for? Run!"
"Wait, neither the giant aliens nor the guards ahead have spotted us, and we're quite far apart. We should be safe for now. Let's hide here and observe the battle for a bit."
Han Shuo's heart was pounding, but he still wanted to continue observing.
Giant mutants are extremely rare. Han Shuo had been in the underground research institute for so long, yet he had never seen any related information.
This time, he wanted to be bold, mainly because he wanted to confirm a message in his heart.
That is, do giant aliens have intelligence, and can they speak?
He always remembered that the fat man had said that the giant zombie last time spoke human language when it left.
On this point, Han Shuo must personally confirm it today.
"Oh no, you've gone crazy too!"
The fat man stopped, hesitated for a moment, and finally returned to his original spot, saying helplessly.
"Sigh, I'm risking my life to accompany you."
"Don't panic, let's stay here. If there are any more unexpected changes, we'll evacuate immediately."
Han Shuo briefly reassured the fat man before staring intently ahead once more.
Although the two were somewhat frightened, it wasn't the first time they had encountered a giant alien species.
With the groundwork laid last time, there's not much to panic about.
Moreover, this time they won't be facing each other directly; they can simply observe from afar.
As long as they are not discovered by the giant alien creature, the two are indeed not in any danger.
...
At this moment, as the giant alien creature gradually approached, the two guard teams also sprang into action.
A great war is about to break out!
