#426 - Chapter 426 Exploder
The undercurrent doesn't affect the arrival of night.
Suppress any dissatisfaction or unwillingness you may have.
It's zombie time now.
Leave anything else for tomorrow.
The night passed uneventfully.
******
The next day.
The scene shifts to Jiang City.
Li Bowen and the others had been staying near the parked airship for nearly two days.
After dawn, they emerged from their lodgings to continue repairing the damaged exterior of the airship.
"Engineer Xu, how much longer do you estimate it will take to complete the repairs on the entire airship?"
Right after breakfast, Liu Qing approached Engineer Xu from the development department to inquire.
In reality, this wasn't the first time he'd asked; he'd been pressing him quite a few times yesterday as well.
Compared to the safety of the base, these combat team members on assignment always felt a sense of unease.
Although they didn't see any zombies during the day and could hide in nearby buildings for the night, everyone still wanted to finish things as quickly as possible and return.
"It should be soon. If we can gather the remaining materials today, I'll continue repairing the hull of the airship, patch up the major holes, and then we can try a test flight."
Engineer Xu adjusted his glasses and said somewhat shyly to Liu Qing, with whom he'd become quite familiar these past few days.
He'd been getting along quite well with Liu Qing recently, often chatting during breaks from work, and learned that this combat team member was a martial force who had been at the main base since the beginning of the apocalypse.
In short, it was best not to offend him.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qing stopped bothering him and let him get back to work.
They had been out for a full three or four days.
Although they had a premonition that this trip wouldn't be a quick one, they still felt a bit unaccustomed to it.
He ran back to Li Bowen, who was on guard duty nearby, to report the situation, and then joined the guard team himself.
Of the twenty team members who came out, seven or eight were out searching for repair materials needed by Engineer Xu in two or three vehicles.
Some personnel were also helping him with the repairs.
The remaining personnel were naturally on guard duty around the perimeter.
Fortunately, the weather had been hot recently, and no zombies had come to harass them during the day, which saved them a lot of effort.
However, some anomalies did occur yesterday.
"Will those people come again today?"
Liu Qing suddenly asked this question from the side.
Li Bowen frowned and shook his head, his eyes fixed on the distance.
This trip had indeed not been smooth.
It took a lot of effort just to find the target, and they were lucky to find a survivor named Old Ma to guide them to the airship's location.
But the airship they found was severely damaged.
Repairs had been going on for two days, and Engineer Xu was still working hard, but according to him, it would still take some time.
Then there were other problems yesterday.
They didn't know where they had been spotted before, but yesterday a few survivors suddenly appeared and were spying on them from the outside!
Of course, Team Leader Li was merciless and immediately sent a car to chase after them.
However, the other party seemed to be very familiar with the area, quickly disappearing into the nearby buildings and alleys, and they had to return to the airship to strengthen their guard empty-handed.
Li Bowen also felt a layer of haze in his heart.
He had a vague feeling that something was wrong with this group of people spying on them.
According to Old Ma, those people were likely survivors from the Jiang City area.
The kind with a bad reputation.
"I hope these people don't overestimate themselves, otherwise..."
A flash of cold light flashed in Team Leader Li's eyes as he looked into the distance!
Time continued to pass.
The team members who went out to find repair materials also returned.
According to Engineer Xu, the things they had found were basically enough to repair the airship to seventy or eighty percent, enough to fly temporarily.
Which meant the time to go home was not far away!
"Keep up the good work!"
Team Leader Li sent more team members to assist Engineer Xu in repairing the outer layer of the airship.
Guard duty continued as usual.
It was eleven o'clock in the morning.
Rarely, the sun was slightly weaker today, and the clouds in the sky were thicker than in the previous days, which made the Green Source team members on the ground feel a little cooler.
God knows what the temperature is now?
A full forty degrees Celsius!
The temperature of the cement ground is even more terrifying, reaching a high of fifty or sixty degrees Celsius at noon and in the afternoon!
In addition to putting on sunscreen equipment when they are busy, the team members hide in the shade, otherwise they will get heatstroke if they are not careful.
Suddenly.
Li Bowen's eyes narrowed, and his gaze focused on a strange figure in front of him!
"Huh? What's that?"
The other guards also noticed, a large figure appeared at the corner of the road in the distance!
Looks like a person?
"Shoot!! Don't let it get closer!!"
In just an instant, Li Bowen realized that it wasn't a person at all?!
It's a mutated zombie!!
A mutated zombie called a 'Boomer' that he had seen once during the battle against the zombie tide at the Green Source base!
A disgusting zombie more than two meters tall, with a body as fat as a pig, and covered in festering pustules!
Da da da!
Team Leader Li took the lead in firing!
The team members next to him were not slow either, and bullets rained down on this fat monster, which was nearly a hundred meters away!
Countless bullets drilled into the Boomer's body, hitting the rotten flesh, bringing up splashes of disgusting black and red blood!
"Oooooo----!"
A strange cry came from its rotten, cracked mouth, and it actually ignored the gunfire and charged towards Green Source on its short legs!
"Find cover and lie down! Quick!"
Li Bowen put away his machine gun, and after seeing the team members hide behind the guard cover, he took out a potent bomb made by the base and threw it hard at the Boomer!
Under his great strength, the detonated bomb hit the running Boomer with a piercing whistle!
Boom!!
Boom!!
First, there was a violent explosion from the bomb.
Then there was a slightly muffled explosion.
The entire running Boomer turned into a rain of blood and flesh flying everywhere!
This is the secondary damage of this mutated zombie!
Once it suffers excessive attacks, this mutated zombie will spontaneously explode, and the flesh and blood on its body, which contains a strong virus, will splash and infect the area within dozens of meters!
It is a mutated zombie that is terrifying to some extent.
After a long while.
After the sound stabilized, Li Bowen carefully poked his head out from behind the cover and vigilantly observed the position of the Boomer just now.
I saw a black and red blood and flesh restricted area there.
Was it resolved?
Including the team members who were repairing the airship, they all stared vigilantly at the surroundings, guarding against the danger that might continue to appear at any time.
After waiting a full minute, no new mutated zombies appeared, and not even a single ordinary zombie was seen.
That's it?
Too strange.
