Chapter 209: Getting close to that doomsday boss (16)
"You mean, zombies can now upgrade? And have superpowers?"
There were only four of them in the room. When they heard Li Ziyan's words, they were all shocked and disbelieving, as if they had heard something completely out of the blue. It wasn't that they truly didn't trust Li Ziyan, but they subconsciously didn't want such an unbelievable thing to happen.
The zombies had no special abilities, they were just a bunch of rotting flesh, yet this had already posed such a threat to their survival. Once they possessed attributes and their special abilities would be upgraded, their future lives would probably become even more difficult.
"How did you know this would happen?"
Li Ziyan shook his head, his face unsightly, but his eyes were serious and his expression dignified. "I don't know. This is just my guess. Like I said earlier, this change in the sky is different from the previous one. Even if the difference is small, it's there. And I suddenly remembered the zombies that followed us on the last mission with the instructor."
Bai Jingzhe and Han Linxia had both seen those zombies before. They looked at each other, and their expressions were not very good.
"Those zombies were very agile, unlike ordinary zombies. They were even able to catch up with vehicles and bypass obstacles. So I felt something was wrong with them." Li Ziyan paused, his voice hesitant. "And I noticed that my ability seemed to have changed a bit."
"Change? What change?" The speaker was Han Linxia. His voice rose slightly and his body leaned towards Li Ziyan. Even though he tried hard to suppress the expression on his face, worry still showed in his eyes.
"It's not a bad thing. I found that my space seems to have room for development. Last time, in order to store supplies, I had already used up all my superpowers and space. But just now, when I wanted to use my superpowers, I found that I might have another level of ability. This is one of the reasons why I have this speculation."
Li Ziyan's words made the other three people in the room fall silent. They knew that if Li Ziyan's guess was true, then the world would become more dangerous, but it also brought them a glimmer of hope.
"What should we do now? If what Xiao Li said is true, we..."
"The zombies will definitely be out tonight. Tell the brothers to be prepared. Everything will come true tonight." Han Linxia took out a cigarette and lit it. "This matter must not be made public. We must not let the people in the royal city know about this."
"clear."
None of the four people spoke, and the room fell into silence, with a low pressure hanging over everyone's hearts, which was lingering.
Soon, it got dark. Han Linxia and the others had already deployed their men and were guarding the yard downstairs.
Just as he'd predicted, the zombies tonight were even more ferocious than before, their howling cries sending chills down one's spine. Li Ziyan was ordered to hide upstairs, unable to go down. He could only lie at the window, his eyes exposed, observing the situation outside.
The howling of zombies and the roar of ferocious beasts alternated in the middle of the night, but the team members guarding outside were not afraid at all. They held guns in their hands and observed everything around them. Those without special powers stayed in the rear, while those with special powers rushed to the front line, with a clear division of labor.
Slowly, zombies appeared outside the surrounding barbed wire. In the past, the height of these barbed wires was enough to stop the slow-moving, stiff-limbed zombies, but this time, some zombies were able to climb up along the barbed wire.
Even though these team members were mentally prepared, when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but have their pupils shrink suddenly, their eyes were full of surprise, and they gripped the guns in their hands tighter and tighter.
Han Linxia squatted at the front, watching the first batch of zombies about to rush in. He formed one hand into a blade shape and swung it forward. A fierce wind blade flew out and neatly cut off the heads of the first batch of zombies.
The smell of their own kind stimulated the remaining zombies. They howled and rammed the barbed wire, as if they wanted to break in. However, Han Linxia did not panic at all. With a wave of his right hand, the team members with special abilities used their special abilities to knock the zombies down.
Everything was going smoothly, but something unexpected happened.
"roar!"
A voice more ferocious than that of the other zombies was heard. Everyone looked up and saw an agile figure jumping in, landing in the middle of the yard, and rushing towards them.
"Secure the perimeter! Watch out for zombies!" Han Linxia shouted, and indeed, he attracted the zombie's attention. He didn't use his superpowers or his gun, but he drew the zombie towards him. This zombie's movements were even more agile, and its bloody mouth, fangs exposed and covered with saliva, was particularly disgusting.
He rushed towards Han Linxia. Han Linxia's eyes were sharp and he jumped to the side suddenly, leaving a deep pit where he had been standing.
Li Ziyan's speculation is true.
Everyone realized this and became even more alert. There were quite a few zombies with superpowers here, about five or six. Fortunately, they also had a lot of people with superpowers. The people with superpowers dealt with the zombies with superpowers, and ordinary people used guns to deal with ordinary zombies, so they were not at a disadvantage.
The one Han Linxia faced was obviously a higher-level leader among them, and was particularly difficult to deal with.
In the room, Li Ziyan was leaning against the window and looking down, but he heard rustling sounds and footsteps on the floor coming from behind. His hair stood on end and he suddenly fell to the ground and crawled to a hidden place. Sure enough, he saw a figure that was stiffer than an ordinary person through the gap.
It's a zombie, or a zombie with super powers.
Li Ziyan held his breath, placed his right hand on the dagger at his waist, and closed his eyes.
The man's movements were not as agile as those of an ordinary person, but he was faster than an ordinary master. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Li Ziyan pulled out the dagger without any fear, but without making any sound.
Downstairs, Han Linxia and his group were in the upper hand and they did not notice what was happening upstairs.
The silencers installed on the guns did not attract any attention elsewhere. Only the increasingly strong smell of blood spoke of this belated fight.
Even if zombies have superpowers, they are ultimately no match for humans, not to mention that they have not yet fully mastered how to use their superpowers. Han Linxia cut off the head of the zombie in front of him and shook off the blood on the knife.
"Boss, we've almost finished killing them." Chen Kuangyuan wiped the dirt off his face, his expression fierce. "About five or six zombies have acquired superpowers: wind, fire, and enhancement, but they don't know how to use them yet."
Han Linxia nodded and snapped his fingers, and a huge fire started on the pile of zombies. "Clean up the battlefield and check for casualties."
"yes."
With a sigh of relief, Han Linxia took off his helmet and walked towards the apartment building, but his steps suddenly stopped.
Bai Jingzhe and Chen Kuangyuan caught up behind him and saw a pit in front of the unit door. Their faces changed drastically.
"Brother Han! Little friend!"
"Boss!"
"Stay outside, I'll go up!"
Han Linxia had a fierce look in his eyes as he held a blade, and the scars on his face looked more hideous than ever before.
