Chapter 16 Taking the Initiative
In the back of the military truck, a young soldier under Eagle Wing was fiddling with a machine to check the distribution of zombies, and reported in a low voice:
"Captain, we have spotted a group of zombies using drones, but there is no large-scale movement."
"Keep monitoring at all times. If there is a large-scale movement of zombies, notify us immediately. We will start from the outskirts of the city and eliminate small-scale zombie groups first."
Eagle Wing immediately gave the order.
W City is vast and sparsely populated, but even so, it has a permanent population of 1.5 million. Currently, one-fifth of the people have been evacuated, two-fifths are trapped in their homes, and the rest have become zombies. The probability of a person with superpowers appearing among them is one in a thousand.
"Got it, Captain! We can go to Tuanjie intersection first. There is a farmers' market there, and there is currently a zombie tide of more than 10,000 people."
The young soldier reported immediately.
"Okay, notify the convoy to proceed as planned."
"yes!"
Lianyi realized that this time the main focus should be on strangling the zombies. There were as many as 5,000 people participating in the operation, and they were also equipped with heavy weapons. Obviously, thermal weapons were the main force. Following at the end was the Air Force card, which was responsible for picking up people and transporting supplies. Everything seemed to be arranged in an orderly manner.
Two hours later, they successfully entered the suburbs. The appearance of the vehicles and the fresh flesh and blood of the soldiers on the vehicles immediately attracted the zombies wandering around aimlessly, and they began to approach the convoy.
"Get ready to shoot! Aim better and don't waste bullets!"
Eagle Wing spoke directly, and the people in other vehicles received the same order.
Lianyi glanced at the young soldiers in the truck. Their weapons were all equipped with silencers. It was obvious that they did not want to attract all the zombies in the city because of the noise. The commander of the operation was still very reliable.
"Where is the mission target now?"
Now that she was here, Wu Lianyi didn't plan to make a wasted trip.
"The target of the mission is fighting another level one zombie, chasing him in the city."
The communicator responded very promptly this time.
“Is it a win or a loss now?”
It would be better for her to be killed directly by another zombie, as it would save her energy.
"The target of the mission is in an advantageous position. If she defeats the opponent, she can obtain the crystal core of the first-level zombie, so that she can be promoted to the second level. This is very disadvantageous to the missioner!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier? She was able to advance with just one crystal core of the same kind. Does she have the aura of a protagonist?"
Wu Lianyi took a deep breath and asked directly.
"She is a bug in this apocalypse. She got all these by taking shortcuts. If there were no tasker, she would have unknowingly replaced the original protagonist. But now that you are here, she is just wishful thinking!"
The communicator used a mechanical flattering voice, which made Lianyi feel uncomfortable. So she just spoke directly:
"Can you switch to anthropomorphic speech? It sounds weird to me, as if I'm talking to a big guy who picks his toes in a loli voice."
“.”
"Mark the location of the mission target and indicate the distance between the target and me."
Lianyi ordered bluntly, since she couldn't even complete the first task, there was a high possibility that she would be finished.
"Received! The mission target is ten kilometers away from you in a straight line and is approaching here."
This time the communicator was a young man's voice, which Wu Lianyi found much more pleasing to the ear.
During the communication between the two sides, the convoy had already encountered a small zombie wave of 10,000 people.
The sound of gunfire rang out again, along with the precise throwing of small bombs, and for a moment the suburban roads became lively.
"Captain, the zombies around here are slowly moving towards us because of the noise."
The young soldier in charge of the inspection immediately reported.
"How long will we be besieged?"
"Half an hour at most."
"Evacuate in twenty minutes!"
Eagle Wing notified all vehicles via intercom.
The first psychics to attack were those with long-range attacks, with golden needles condensed from the gold-based psychic powers piercing straight into the zombies' brows.
Another wood-type mutant held the seeds and scattered them casually. The seeds stuck to the zombies and began to take root and sprout rapidly, instantly killing five zombies. Then the zombies gave up their attacking position and began to recover their abilities. This is the disadvantage of having a low level of abilities.
The earth-type mutant directly condensed earth spikes and started attacking the zombies from the ground, nailing their feet to the ground and making them unable to move. The zombies that surrounded them from behind trampled on them and turned them into paste.
Fire-type psychics throw fireballs directly at the place where the zombies are most concentrated. After humans become zombies, all the water in their bodies has evaporated, making them flammable. Fireballs can take away hundreds of zombies before they go out.
Lianyi still cooperated with Sun Wang. Before they set off, the two had already communicated the combat methods.
"Sun Wang, let's go!"
"Okay! Sister Lianyi, where are we going first?"
Sun Wang was also a little excited at this time. Everyone had shown their abilities, so how could he leave them behind!
"Go to the northwest corner of the intersection. There are zombies coming over there. Let's stop them."
Lianyi determined the location of the first stop only after communicating with the little warrior who was monitoring the overall situation.
"receive!"
Sun Wang held Wu Lianyi's hand and disappeared in the truck in an instant, which really made those who were recovering their superpowers envious for a while.
The moment the two figures appeared, Lian Li's sword infused with lightning power was swung out. A purple light flashed, and a large number of zombies fell down like cutting leeks. At least the area within ten meters around the two people became a vacuum.
Sun Wang knew his own limitations, so when he appeared, he leaned against Wu Lianyi, raised his gun and started shooting indiscriminately.
Ten minutes later, the two of them cleared a space. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed and a claw grabbed Wu Lianyi's face.
"Tsk, I was just about to look for you, but you showed up at my doorstep."
It turned out that she was the target of the mission. At this time, she was a female zombie, wearing a fashionable black short leather skirt and black suspenders, with an obvious bite mark on her shoulder, indicating the reason for her mutation.
Wu Lianyi raised his sword and stabbed forward, but the opponent dodged sideways. His movements were faster than those of ordinary zombies, and even faster than those of ordinary humans.
“He made the cut.”
"yes."
After Lianyi received the communicator's reply, he condensed an egg-sized lightning ball in his hand, and then said to Sun Wang who had stopped shooting:
"Take me to the rooftop of that seven-story building."
"receive!"
Sun Wang's expression was serious. He noticed that the zombie was very special, so he took Lianyi's hand and left the original place in an instant.
The female zombie felt that the smell that attracted her had disappeared, and she roared angrily. Then the remaining zombies began to riot. Eagle Wing, who had seen everything, frowned and picked up the intercom directly:
"Attention all convoys, the zombies in the suburbs have begun to riot, and it is suspected that there are high-level zombies controlling them. Everyone should temporarily avoid the Tuanjie intersection! Snipers, quickly find the high-level zombies and snipe them to kill them!"
As the two orders were issued, Lianyi and Sun Wang also appeared on the roof.
