#190 - Chapter 190 It's Not Dead
Let's rewind time a bit.
Before Zhong Yu reported this matter to the leader, Li Bowen, as the captain of the elite squad, had already received the grim news from his team members.
"Captain! We encountered a mutated zombie! Xiao Fang and Xiao Wang are gone!"
Today, the squad leaders didn't go out on patrol with their teams; only two or three members from each team went out.
Their captain led the remaining team members in assisting the base personnel with handling some trivial matters within the residential area.
Inside Residential Area 1.
Listening to Gao Qiang's words on the radio, Li Bowen's eyes narrowed, and his entire demeanor turned gloomy in an instant. The veins on his hand holding the radio bulged, and even the radio seemed to be slightly deformed.
"We are heading back to the base! That mutated zombie is still on XX Road! Ordinary firearms are useless against it! Requesting support!"
"Also, that mutated zombie was chasing a heavy truck and heading towards our base!"
Gao Qiang was still shouting into the radio.
"Take care of your own safety and wait for us at the intersection of XX Road. We'll come and gather immediately!"
After speaking, Li Bowen called upon his remaining team members Yao Lei and Zhou Xin, as well as several members from Zhang Tiankai's team next to them, and quickly ran towards the combat unit's vehicle, preparing to rush towards the direction just mentioned!
"Yao Lei, did you bring the sniper rifle?"
In the car, Li Bowen quickly started the engine and asked his team member.
"Yes, I brought it! It's always in the car! Captain!"
Yao Lei naturally knew that the matter was of great importance, and the two women were already organizing their equipment and weapons.
Li Bowen didn't say anything more. Through the car window, he gave a hand signal to Zhang Tiankai, who was also ready next to him, and then the car roared out!
Soon.
The news of the deaths of two base personnel quickly spread throughout the entire combat and security departments!
Various squads began to converge towards the scene of the incident!
*****
In front of the Green Source Base gate.
Chen Gang and Wang Wei, driving the heavy truck, finally arrived at their destination!
Looking at the towering city walls in front of them, the two of them opened their mouths wide, almost popping their eyes out!
"Damn! Lao Chen, what exactly is this Green Source Base in your Fenghe County? It actually has walls that are so much higher than the Wan City base!? It couldn't have been built recently, right!?"
Chen Gang couldn't answer his friend's exclamation; he was also in shock.
When did Fenghe County have such a powerful local force!?
If he had known earlier, why would he have gone to Wan City!?
They were still twenty or thirty meters away from this high-walled building, and they could already feel the thickness of the wall. If they were standing under the wall, they would seem very small, right?
They weren't given too much time to marvel; the security personnel on the Green Source wall had already spotted the dilapidated heavy truck. Many firearms were already aimed, and they shouted loudly:
"Are you newcomers? Raise your hands, stop the vehicle, get out, and accept the inspection!"
In recent days, they had seen survivors from all over the place attracted by flyers every day, so all the personnel on the base wall were already very familiar with the procedure.
Chen Gang and his companion naturally wouldn't resist. They came here to seek refuge. It was the same when they entered the Wan City base before; they had to accept the inspection before being allowed in.
Soon, someone ran out from the base and briefly restrained them.
"Where are you from?"
Some of the base personnel were searching the heavy truck, while others were already holding notebooks and preparing to register information. Later, there would be personnel specifically responsible for reception and arrangements.
"Yes, we saw this flyer and came to seek refuge. May I ask if this is the Green Source Base?"
Chen Gang indicated that he had no malicious intent and slowly took out the folded flyer from his upper pocket under the personnel's watchful eyes.
"Yes, this is indeed the Green Source Base. Please wait a moment, and someone will tell you about some matters later."
Hearing this, Chen Gang and his companion both breathed a sigh of relief.
After nearly a week, they finally arrived.
According to their imagination, the next step should be to slowly become familiar with and adapt to this place.
Unfortunately.
At this moment, the base personnel's walkie-talkie rang.
After answering, the security member's gaze instantly became dangerous. He shot a sharp look at Chen Gang and his companion and shouted while raising his firearm:
"Arrest these two!"
The base personnel reacted very quickly, instantly changing the direction of their guns and pointing them at Chen Ge and Wang Wei, who had already put their hands down.
Chen Gang and Wang Wei, who were just rejoicing, were dumbfounded.
What happened?
The wind changed after a walkie-talkie call?
A guess suddenly flashed through Chen Gang's mind!
They had seen two modified off-road vehicles when they came, but they didn't have time to pay attention to them because they were being chased by that monster!
Could it be that those were also people from this Green Source Base!?
That kind of modified vehicle shouldn't be common!
The more he thought about it, the greater the probability!
Trouble!
*****
On a road about 7-8 kilometers away from the Green Source Base.
Six or seven vehicles had already gathered here!
Among them were Gao Qiang and his partner!
"Lead the way!"
Li Bowen and Zhang Tiankai's squads, plus Liu Wenhao's squad that they met on the road, all the members of the three squads had arrived!
Gao Qiang didn't waste any words, jumped into the off-road vehicle, stepped on the accelerator, and headed straight for the location where Xiao Fang and his partner died!
All the vehicles behind closely followed!
The scene of the incident was about 5-6 kilometers away from here, so they should be able to reach it quickly!
However.
Their convoy had only driven one or two kilometers when Gao Qiang's eyes widened and he stopped the car. Deep in his eyes was hatred and a trace of fear.
"That monster is ahead!!!"
At the end of the road opposite their convoy, a tall but unusually disproportionate figure appeared!
Everyone saw it this time!
The charger, whether it was chasing after the scent or just happened to walk in this direction, unexpectedly met the Green Source combat troops!
The combat team members didn't continue driving forward because the mutated zombie in front of them had already spotted them and was rushing over!
Everyone had already aimed at the target in the car, just waiting for the captain to speak!
The charger didn't seem to feel any threat and continued to approach.
Until it was only about a hundred meters away, it stopped!
Whether it felt the threat at this moment or something else, it didn't continue to charge forward.
The team members saw it clearly.
It was holding a section of headless corpse in its giant arm!
Two of its legs had been gnawed off, and the remaining arms and torso were held in the charger's hand.
Through the clothes, some team members had already recognized who it was!
"Damn! That's Xiao Fang!!"
The team members' eyes were red. Their comrade who had been through thick and thin with them every day had died tragically in front of them.
"Bang!"
A loud noise suddenly exploded on one of the cars in the rear!
It was Yao Lei!
Under the captain's instructions, she decisively fired after the mutated zombie entered the firing range!
This is an anti-material sniper rifle!
The team members saw that at the same moment the gunshot rang out, the charger's entire head tilted back!
Then it fell heavily onto the snow behind it!
Thump!
Its tall body smashed onto the ground, splashing a lot of air and snowflakes, and even the corpse in its hand fell to the side!
Is it resolved!?
The team members were shocked, both by this monster and by the accuracy of their comrade's marksmanship.
Just as everyone was starting to feel excited and preparing to cheer for this shot.
The giant beast that had fallen to the ground suddenly sat up!
It's not dead!
Its head was severely shattered, and even half of its skull was lifted open!
Revealing the red and white interior!
"Roar!!!"
It let out a terrifying roar towards the Green Source combat team members!
