Su Tao was so scared that she almost threw the communicator away. Her body reacted instinctively, and she rushed into the car and pulled the door shut.
The moment she closed the door, she saw bright red feathers all over the sky and blood splattered on her car window, dyeing her vision bright red.
Then I saw a body hit the front windshield with a heavy thud.
The glass shattered.
"Fuck!" Guan Zining cursed in the driver's seat and lowered his head to avoid the broken glass.
Without the obstruction of the glass, Su Tao saw the full appearance of the mutated zombie - huge red wings, strange joints, and a young man with a delicate face but a bluish-gray complexion.
It flew over the roof of the car, and its wings almost blocked out the sun, making it pitch dark.
It lowered its head and looked at Su Tao with its gray pupils. It was stunned for a moment as if it remembered something.
Just then, Su Tao heard a gunshot. The bullet pierced its left wing, causing it to tilt to one side.
At the same time, a prompt sounded from the system: [Hidden mission clue found: Abandoned garage]
Su Tao was shocked.
"You stay in the car and are not allowed to get out!" Guan Zining kicked open the car door, pulled out a gun and ran out.
At the same time, Pei Dong, Cen Tianjiao and his group also arrived and surrounded the injured young man with strange wings.
"You want to kill me too?" It was a young and immature voice.
Its wings folded and gradually disappeared on its back.
Without that pair of strange wings, it seemed no different from an ordinary human boy.
"I just want to go home. They are the ones who provoke me again and again. I don't want this."
It spoke as if stating something or explaining something, its expression painful and ferocious.
Guan Zining closed his eyes and used his special ability: "It's injured. I can hold it back for half a minute. Whether I can capture it alive depends on you!"
Cen Tianjiao immediately raised his gun and approached, shooting the zombie boy twice in the knee without mercy.
The red wings stretched out again, and the tip pierced Cen Tianjiao's heart, but because of the influence of Guan Zining's special ability, its speed slowed down a lot. Cen Tianjiao grabbed it and fired several shots at its wings with red eyes.
The bright red feathers were shot everywhere.
There is also a talented person with the ability of "confinement" in Pei Dong's team. Taking advantage of its slow movements, the invisible rope binds it tightly, like an invisible snake.
"Damn you little bastard, I finally caught you, pay for my brother's life!"
Cen Tianjiao fired a few shots but still felt unsatisfied. He wanted to fire again, but Pei Dong stopped him loudly:
"Calm down! If you die you'll be severely punished! Get out of the way!"
Cen Tianjiao didn't listen to her at all. He attacked the strange pair of blood wings wildly, smashing them to pieces.
Seeing that he didn't drive towards the fatal point, Pei Dong frowned and didn't stop him.
From this angle, Su Tao looked at it like a broken doll.
She turned her face away.
He looks too much like a human, like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old underage boy, extremely fragile.
She was even a little dazed that Zhuang Hu and the Tao brothers, these powerful psychics, were actually killed by it.
"Put him in a cage and take him away!" Pei Dong waved his hand and gave the order with a cold face.
Finally, with the cooperation of everyone, they successfully captured this powerful mutant zombie that was responsible for several lives and sent it to the research institute.
Pei Dong's nerves, which had been tense for many days, finally relaxed and he said to Su Tao:
"Today it went surprisingly smoothly. In the past, we could only see it, but when we arrived, it spread its wings and flew away. It was very alert."
Su Tao felt that today's visual impact was a bit too great, patted his head and said:
"It seemed to say it just wanted to go home. What does that mean?"
Pei Dong said, "It probably retained some of its memories as a human. Don't speculate. No matter what it was in the past, it was able to grow so quickly from a child to a teenager. It must have killed enough people and had a thirst for blood. It slaughtered our compatriots and our partners. It is an enemy that must be killed."
Su Tao took a deep breath and said, "Yes, those who are not of our tribe must be killed."
Zhuang Hu’s death is still fresh in my mind, and this thing is the culprit.
"Are you scared?" Pei Dong asked in a gentle tone.
Su Tao shook her head: "I'm just quite shocked. The world I'm familiar with seems to be changing little by little."
Pei Dong nodded, his voice drifting away: "It is changing little by little, and it's not a good change."
Enemies are stronger and more uncontrollable.
Su Tao rubbed his temple and asked, "Is there an abandoned garage in Dongyang?"
Pei Dong, the "living map" of Dongyang, answered immediately:
"Yes, they were all garages built before the apocalypse and gradually fell into disrepair. There's one on Sanli Street in the northeast gate, now used as an energy recycling station. There's one near the plantation in the northwest gate, now used by the plantation to store fertilizer. There's another one on the far east side, about 200 meters along the dried-up spring river ditch, turn right, built underground. It's a shelter for homeless people and the darkest place in Dongyang."
Su Tao nodded and decided to visit these places in a few days.
That night, the news that the city defense forces had successfully captured the zombies that had sneaked into the base spread throughout Dongyang.
The people of Dongyang were celebrating together. All the residents who had been stuck at home for a long time went out for a walk on the streets. Dongyang, which had been quiet for a long time, became lively again.
When Zhuang Wan heard the news, she covered her mouth and cried silently, and the two children, Chenxi and Chenyang, also had red eyes.
The next day, Zhuang Wan took her two children to visit Zhuang Hu's grave. She talked for a long time and cried until her tears dried up.
"The little beast who killed you has been caught. He will definitely not have an easy life in the future. You can go with peace of mind and don't have any resentment or nostalgia. Oh, I can also support myself and Chenxi and Chenyang. I don't have to rely on others anymore."
"Huzi, you have a group of good brothers. Thanks to you, I met Boss Su. Otherwise, my two children and I would still have to rely on others to survive. You must also bless her health and safety over there."
In the following week, the news Su Tao heard most was about "Birdman", which was the nickname given to the mutated zombie by the people.
But it's really appropriate.
The more official name was what Pei Dong told her:
"It's called the Bone Wing. Its DNA has been almost completely reorganized, a strange mutation with no discernible pattern. It can extend wings up to three meters long from either side of its back, and can fly twice as fast as an eagle. Its primary method of attack is to extend sharp bone spurs from its wings, piercing its opponent's heart at high speed. A large amount of blood nourishes its bones, enhancing its abilities."
Su Tao said, "It's hard to imagine. So what are you going to do with it? Kill it? Dismember it and continue researching?"
Pei Dong shook his head: "Killing it would be a waste. The research institute needs to keep taking blood and flesh from it for research."
Su Tao thought about it and it made sense. It took so much manpower and resources to catch him. It would be a shame to kill him.
"Then you have to keep an eye on it. If it gets away, it will be a horror story."
Pei Dong's eyelids twitched. "Crow's Mouth! We will break its wings and keep a close watch on it."
