Chapter 532: Escape
Ning Yuan didn't know the specific situation and didn't dare to advance any further. He gave a clear order, "Brother Xiong, turn around and head towards the meeting point we agreed on. Liu Yang, continue to contact Antonio."
"Got it," Xiong Jie's voice fell, and he did a neat spin and drove in another direction.
As the car left the zombie group, they showed no sign of chasing after them. Ning Yuan was sure that what Cheng Chuan said was right.
Something is controlling the zombies, and the intensity of this control is enough to allow them to overcome their attraction to flesh and blood.
"Would it be better if we keep some distance?" Ning Yuan asked Cheng Chuan, holding the handrail with one hand.
Cheng Chuan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Let's try it first." Ning Yuan had no other choice at this time.
He looked at Gu Sheng, who shook his head and said, "My mental power cannot detect beyond a thousand meters."
The car drove at full speed for a while, and Cheng Chuan collapsed as if he had breathed a sigh of relief, gasping for breath, and responded to the person who asked him with his eyes, saying that everything was fine.
Everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief.
"Deputy Captain, the zombies are coming towards us." Gu Sheng's words stunned the people who were in deep thought for a moment, and then they tried to explore outside in various ways.
Gu Sheng, who had been using his mental power to monitor the situation outside, added, "Their condition is different from before."
Ning Yuan’s vision was limited, so Gu Sheng could only add, “Just like... when we met yesterday.”
When they first encountered these zombies, they were wandering aimlessly and moving very slowly.
Afterwards, they ran after their car as if they were injected with chicken blood. Ning Yuan thought that it was because they threw blood and flesh behind the car that attracted them. Now it seems that...
"The zombie is no longer controlling them," Cheng Chuan said suddenly.
"How do you know?" Gu Sheng asked.
"I controlled the ones closest to me."
Being able to be controlled by him only proves that the other party did not take action.
As they were talking, Xiong Jie asked anxiously, "How do we get there?"
If they continue driving forward they will stray from the direction of Kyoto base.
"...Let's go back first," Ning Yuan said decisively.
"The next time you realize you're being controlled, we'll leave the team."
They cannot lead the zombies elsewhere. In comparison, Kyoto is more likely to survive among the zombie hordes since it is close to the nearest bases.
Xiongjie quickly turned the car back to the original direction. Ning Yuan looked out through the periscope and found that the state of the zombies had changed.
They were still chasing the attraction of flesh and blood, following closely behind the armored vehicle, but some zombies began to use their superpowers towards the armored vehicle.
"Oh my god!" A one-meter-thick tree root suddenly emerged from the ground in front of the car. The speeding armored vehicle was immediately overturned and jumped high. The things in the car fell all over the place, and many of them fell on the people who were tied up with seat belts.
"How can they have super powers?" someone exclaimed. The super power jammer was turned on while their car was moving, so these zombies should not have super powers at this time.
Xiong Jie cursed softly, and while controlling the direction, he instantly used his supernatural powers, manipulating the ground to form an earth escape path that attacked in the opposite direction of the armored vehicle's fall. Under the powerful impact, the armored vehicle tilted again, and finally landed steadily with a bumpy ride.
"The jammer is not turned on." Gu Sheng immediately prepared to turn on the jammer, but the car body was hit again and tilted, and the fixed jammer was hit hard against the metal car body.
Various fireballs and water swords smashed towards the armored vehicle, and even the armored vehicle that had been reinforced by the metal-type psychic was still smashed with dents.
The jammer was not turned on, but they had not been attacked. Ning Yuan now completely believed that these zombies were controlled before, otherwise they would not have had any intention of attacking them at all.
Maybe... maybe the direction they thought they were leading happened to be the direction these zombies were being directed to move.
They are simply colleagues.
Ning Yuan couldn't help feeling embarrassed. Their situation was not good at the moment. The peace and tranquility they had previously known gave them the illusion that these zombies were not very powerful. Now that they began to attack them on a large scale, Ning Yuan suddenly realized -
Most of these are mutant zombies. You can even tell from the newness of some of them's clothes that they have been transformed into zombies not long ago. Looking at their attire, you can tell that they are mutant members who went out hunting or gathering. After being contaminated by higher-level zombie energy, they quickly turned into mutant zombies.
This is really not good news.
"Is it open?" Xiong Jie asked.
"…The button was broken by the impact." Gu Sheng tied himself up and turned himself over quickly, intending to take it apart to see if he could open the blocker from the inside.
"Are there any others? Can't we keep going like this for long?"
"It's gone." No one expected that this thing would break. Ning Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "No need to take it apart. It's covered entirely with metal and can't be opened."
They didn't bring a second one just to be on the safe side, even though they knew the buttons might break.
After the armored vehicle was once again attacked by the psychics and its speed was slowed down, the vehicle had already entered the encirclement of the zombie army and could no longer break out. Even though the armored vehicle was sturdy, it could not withstand the siege of so many zombies.
"Don't look for opportunities to break out." Ning Yuan used his supernatural powers to kill the zombies who wanted to destroy the periscope through the car body.
The armored vehicle suddenly turned, jumped onto a high earth slope, and fell from a great height. However, when it was about to land, it was caught in a cage net woven from branches. It was swung in the air several times and thrown towards the group of zombies.
"Qingji!" Ning Yuan pulled the seat belt tight and shouted.
"Got it!" Gu Qingji said calmly. When the armored vehicle was thrown to the highest point, a huge plant suddenly sprang out from the ground. Its vines tied up the armored vehicle and dropped it to the ground. The other vines were thrown aimlessly towards the surrounding zombies.
The armored vehicle landed with a bump, and Xiongjie quickly stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, rushing out with a bang.
"Come back soon!" Gu Qingji said sternly with his eyes closed.
Ning Yuan saw that the mutated vines that were left behind were already burning with layers of flames. The plants were shaking their branches in pain, igniting the surrounding bushes and woods.
Ning Yuan stretched out his hand backwards, and the moisture in the air and the ground condensed and stuck to the branches of the mutated vines from all directions, turning into ice in an instant and then being burned into white mist by the flames.
When the flames went out, the mutated vines disappeared from sight in an instant.
"I'm back..."
"Grass"
Ning Yuan's question was interrupted by Xiong Jie's angry curse. At the same time, the armored vehicle's vision fell into darkness, leaving only a little light from the emergency lights in the car.
"There are earth-type zombies that set up a trap," Xiong Jie explained while manipulating the soil to push the armored vehicle out from the ground. The soil fell down, blocking the view ahead.
"One o'clock, go straight," Gu Sheng used his spiritual power to point the way.
Xiong Jie quickly caught up, and the armored vehicle at this time became a bumper car.
The super powers behind them continued to attack, various in variety and endlessly. Even if there were a few people to block them, they were still no match for the thousands of superpowered zombies. Now they were no longer the leaders of the zombie army, but had become their prey.
In the vast jungle, trees and weeds were everywhere, mutated animals were chasing and fighting each other, and predators swooped down from the sky from time to time.
An armored vehicle drove past quickly, leaving deep ruts. Countless zombies followed closely a few meters behind. They roared and waved their arms ferociously, waiting to devour them in the next moment.
At this time Ning Yuan had to admit that they had underestimated the enemy.
Having stood at the top of human superpowers for a long time, and with their recent attention focused on mutant animals, they have ignored the zombies hiding in the corners, who are growing silently.
"Accelerate" once again killed the approaching zombie, and Ning Yuan felt that the speed of the car had slowed down.
Xiongjie kept his foot on the accelerator, watching the car speed up but failed to increase, instead getting slower and slower.
Gu Sheng, who found something wrong, mobilized his mental power to check and found that "the tire was entangled in weeds."
In just a few breaths of slowing down, they were caught up by the zombies. The sound of collision was accompanied by the shaking of the car body, and one could even hear the zombies scratching on the roof.
Under the powerful impact, deep holes appeared on the armored vehicle. It was obvious that it could not hold out for long. The body of the vehicle was shaken and could overturn at any time.
Because of their delay, a steady stream of zombies have poured up. Even if they kill all the zombies surrounding the car, they still cannot leave.
"I will control them for one minute..." Cheng Chuan said.
"It's useless." Seeing the metal of the car body being deformed and the periscope blocked by zombies, Ning Yuan completely lost his vision. He looked around the people in the car and quickly said, "Brother Xiong, go to the ground..."
"boom……"
The sound of artillery fire suddenly rang out, exploding at a very close distance. The ground shook continuously, and there was a buzzing sound in the ears.
"Call 001" Xing Zhou's voice came from the intercom.
"001 received, go ahead." Liu Yang covered his ears and replied loudly.
"Twenty meters underground, out of the spotlight."
"receive".
The ground where the armored vehicle was located suddenly sank, and the surrounding zombies were still scrambling to pile up. A thick tree root suddenly hit the roof of the vehicle, tearing the metal on the roof and revealing the zombies lying on it.
As they level up, the rotten flesh dripping from their bodies is gone, and their skin takes on an alternative texture, and aside from their unusual skin color, eyes, and behavior, they don't look much different from humans.
The white pupils no longer have vision, but the sense of smell and hearing are infinitely enhanced.
The pitch-black nails were covered in blood and dirt, and they reached inside through the cracks.
Ning Yuan cut off his arm with a knife, and black blood dripped like sticky oil.
The entire body of the car was covered by Gu Sheng's mental network. As the entire car sank into the ground, it suddenly pushed outward, shaking away the surrounding zombies. Xiong Jie then returned to the ground.
No one made a sound in the darkness, and the only sound they could hear was each other's heavy breathing, which they had deliberately slowed down.
The car continued to descend at a constant speed and stopped after twenty meters.
Xiongjie turned on the interior lights and pointed in a direction, "They are over there, but our car can't move."
