#346 - Chapter 346: Wait Until Dawn
Inside the third floor.
The Green Source combat team members all stopped shooting, staring wide-eyed as their captain slowly walked deeper into the room!
Li Bowen touched the machine gun slung across his waist with his right hand, and held the shield he had just received from a teammate in his left hand.
He had focused all his attention!
The Jumper, as if hearing the gunfire stop or sensing the danger lessen, actually stopped its repeated jumping!
It lay prone in the shadows at the far end of the room, using obstacles to shield most of its body, revealing a pair of pale eyes staring at the group of people who had just attacked it.
Its gaze focused on Captain Li, who was slowly walking towards it!
Gulp!
Behind him, Gao Qiang, Yao Lei, and other team members swallowed hard.
For most of them, it was the first time facing a living, breathing mutated zombie at such close range!
Illuminated by the glowing orbs around the room and their tactical flashlights, the creature's appearance was revealed to them.
It was similar to the Jumper that Captain Li had first encountered at the oil base, and the ones they had encountered during the several zombie tides.
But there were still many differences.
Its head was not much different from ordinary zombies, but it had extremely thick limbs and a relatively 'thin' torso.
And the black nails on its hands and feet were astonishingly long!
Leaving no doubt that it could easily tear open the bodies of its prey!
Even with many bullet holes in its body, not hitting any vital points did not affect its movements, giving all the humans present a considerable sense of oppression!
Yao Lei's face was cold as she held a light sniper rifle, the muzzle not aimed at the Jumper.
Because if she turned the gun on it, it would rely on its early warning ability to move rapidly again!
It was just that unreasonable.
She needed to wait for an opportunity!
An opportunity for it to reveal a flaw, allowing her to strike a decisive blow!
"Captain! You can't have anything happen to you!"
Yao Lei shouted in her heart!
Beneath her cold and silent expression was an extremely contradictory psychology.
On the one hand, she couldn't help but feel anxious about the captain's safety, but on the other hand, she had to force herself to remain calm. These two conflicting emotions intertwined in her mind, forming a powerful force.
Her pale right index finger was ready!
Tap, tap, tap.
In just under ten seconds, Li Bowen had reached the front of the obstacles where the Jumper was hiding, only five or six meters away from its position!
At this position, he could even smell the strange stench emanating from this mutated zombie.
Captain Li raised his shield, the muzzle of his submachine gun pointing down, appearing to be only defending and not intending to attack!
The team members behind him also tacitly did not point their guns in this direction.
Everyone was waiting.
As expected!
After all, this Jumper was not the most elite mutated zombie. Although it had the ability to sense danger, it still couldn't resist the strong temptation of a delicious meal being delivered to its doorstep!
It could feel that the "fragrance" emitted by the food standing in front of it was even more fragrant than those ordinary varieties!
This food was different!
It could feel the danger of a sharp blade at its back, but the delicious food in front of it was also enticing it!
Eat him!
In the end, appetite overcame danger!
Its leg muscles swelled, and after forcefully pushing off the ground, it turned into a blurry black shadow and pounced towards Li Bowen in front!
"!!!"
It came out!
The team members behind him widened their eyes, and the weapons in their hands began to rise. They needed to aim at this mutated zombie as soon as possible and then support the captain!
But.
So damn fast!
No!
It was even faster than before!
The Jumper's speed at this time surpassed that of before. The temptation of the delicious food stimulated it to display strength beyond its previous capabilities!
The speed at which the Green Source combat team members raised their guns couldn't even keep up with the Jumper's speed as it pounced on the captain!
The captain was in danger!
Just as Yao Lei's mind was slightly disturbed and the other team members' eyes were about to burst, Li Bowen moved!
At this time, the Jumper had already pounced to less than three meters in front of him, and there was no time to raise the gun and shoot again.
Then.
Captain Li's face suddenly became ferocious, and he used the entire machine gun in his right hand as a weapon, slamming it hard at the Jumper that was rushing towards him!
It should be known that the weight of the machine gun in his hand, with the bullets, was more than 4 kilograms!
Under the power of his mutation, it hit the Jumper with a whooshing sound!
Thump!
A muffled sound appeared.
This was not the end.
Seeing the Jumper's forward momentum interrupted and staggering from being hit by the huge machine gun, Captain Li retracted his right hand and then smashed the shield in his left hand towards its head!
Bang!
The Jumper's head was hit squarely, and it was stunned on the spot.
"Fire!"
Captain Li quickly moved out of the way after throwing the two items in his hands, and shouted sharply!
Bang bang bang...!!!
In an instant, the team members who were a little late but quickly reacted had already completed their aiming and pulled the trigger, all the bullets tilting towards the Jumper who wanted to jump away again!
Just then!
A blood hole the size of an infant's fist suddenly exploded on the Jumper's head!
It was Yao Lei's sniper rifle!
It hit!
Even so, the team members still didn't dare to stop firing easily until they saw the Jumper's head riddled with bullets, its face unrecognizable, and it fell to the ground before they finally stopped firing.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
The short minute felt like a long time to many team members. They dared to relax and breathe hard only after seeing the mutated zombie lying on the ground.
Pfft!
Captain Li walked to the Jumper with bullet holes all over its body, picked up a machete from his body, and chopped hard at its neck!
The head and body separated.
Pfft!
Then he stabbed the machete into the body and pinned it to the ground, and that was the end!
It was better to be thorough with this kind of monster.
Some team members also needed to go over and finish off the other survivors who had just died.
Don't leave hidden dangers for yourself and everyone, this was the consistent principle of the combat team members.
"Killed... killed it...!"
Xiao Ming and Green, who were watching from the stairs behind, swallowed and said in shock.
Then he quickly reacted and ran into the third floor to search.
Two of his companions had run to the third floor. Besides one who had already been killed, there was one last female.
Soon, he found this team member who had taken the opportunity to hide in a corner of the third floor.
She had some scratches, but she was not injured by the zombies, and it seemed that she had really survived.
"......"
The few people were speechless.
Including Green who came later, only three living survivors were left in their small team...
Companions who had just eaten and slept together had been separated by life and death in the blink of an eye.
In this world, human life was so thin...
If it weren't for Captain Li and his group here tonight, they might have been completely wiped out.
This was the horror of mutated zombies in the apocalypse.
Especially this kind of speed type, which made it impossible for ordinary survivors without weapons to escape...
"You guys pack up, come and live with us tonight."
Captain Li took back his gun, arranged for the team members to strengthen the defenses outside, and then said to the three people who were still a little dazed.
I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight. No one can guarantee whether there will be another mutated zombie attack.
Let's get through to dawn.
