#577 - Chapter 577: Is the headquarters in danger?
Since increasingly dense hordes of corpses kept appearing from the west, Qin Jin knew that the peak of this zombie tide had arrived.
As the central region of Guangnan Province, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Dongguan had always been the focus of his attention.
Ever since Lin Runwei's outbreak, he had been sending people on helicopters to observe the movements of the zombie tide, paying particular attention to this location.
The real challenge of this zombie tide had only just begun!
“Roar——!”
A strange roar, surpassing the screams of ordinary zombies, rang out from somewhere, and many people who looked in that direction felt a tremor throughout their bodies!
“It's a Charger!!”
A member of the personnel shouted in alarm after seeing the appearance of that monster.
Charger!
This type of mutated zombie was already different from ordinary mutations because this kind was a terrifying existence that was not even afraid of ordinary bullets!
As expected.
Many armed personnel saw the Charger and quickly shot at it, but it was still blocked by its huge right arm!
The extremely hard bone armor on its phosphorescent, terrifying right arm could not be broken by ordinary bullets at all.
“Da da da da da!!!!”
Several more intense bursts of gunfire rang out; it was sniper rifles and heavy machine guns unleashing their fury!
Li Bowen held a heavy machine gun in his hands, firing continuously with cold eyes!
Last time, a monster similar to a Charger slipped away from him, and he didn't want to encounter this situation again this time.
Larger in size, the 12.7mm bullets of the heavy machine gun, carrying greater kinetic energy, continuously pounced towards this Charger that was trying to turn and escape.
Its giant arm was the first to face the bombardment of the heavy machine gun bullets, with a constant barrage of 'pa pa pa pa' sounds.
The bone armor that ordinary bullets could not penetrate was torn and destroyed by this more powerful bullet, slowly revealing the dark red flesh inside.
Without the protection of the bone armor, its giant arm could not defend against the attack of high-powered bullets at all!
Before long, its right arm was riddled with holes and broken!
The bullets fired by other team members were also adding to the damage.
This Charger, which had been fierce for less than ten seconds, was shot into a honeycomb and fell down!
!!!
This was the terrifying power of saturated heavy firepower!
Ordinary monsters could not survive under this level of firepower.
These mutated zombies, which were once a great threat to the base, already seemed insignificant in the face of the increasingly powerful team members.
The entire periphery of the Green Source Base erupted in activity.
Annihilators and Cleavers were reaping the flesh of the approaching zombies at a rate of thousands per minute!
Temporarily maintaining the corpse towers stacked against the walls at about ten meters, preventing them from continuing to increase.
As for these ten steel behemoths, there was no question of them being destroyed by zombies.
Three team members wearing complete equipment sat inside the machines.
Learning from the last lesson, the Annihilators and Cleavers would no longer have the overheating and overload problems that they used to have when turned on for too long.
There were even two small liquid nitrogen refrigeration units inside, eliminating the need to exchange air with the outside for heat dissipation.
Inside one of the Annihilators, Chen Gang, a man who had not appeared for a long time, was full of excitement, his face extremely flushed under his helmet.
It was not known whether it was excitement or the intense operation of the machinery that made him so excited.
“Kill kill kill!!”
He thought of the scene at the Dongguan base.
At that time, he was just an ordinary survivor at the mercy of the elements.
He struggled for that little bit of food and safety, but everything was destroyed after the descent of the corpse fog.
Only after finally following his companions to Green Source did he begin his new life.
Here, he could let go and design those super-spec mechanical devices, without considering any humanitarianism; he could directly design them to be as powerful as possible and as fast as possible at killing corpses!
For him, who was fond of mechanical modification, it was simply paradise!
He enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by hordes of corpses that could do nothing to him.
Watching the zombies being minced into flesh, he could feel the joy of creating a large toy with his own hands.
In the sky.
Drones were still constantly unleashing their power.
Operated by personnel inside the base, they carried explosives and flew to those densely populated zombie areas, constantly making precise drops.
The zombies that pounced on the base had no idea what these were; hearing the sound, they constantly flew towards the flames and were subsequently annihilated by the powerful bombs.
The base had no idea how many explosives it had stockpiled; the raw materials and supplies that had been retrieved had long been continuously converted into potent explosives ready for use.
At this time, the town of Mentang was filled with explosions, gunfire, and roars!
“What kind of terrifying zombie impact is the headquarters facing!?”
“This is already like fighting a war!!”
In the three large residential areas near the base, the personnel defending on the walls stared blankly at the direction of the headquarters.
Not long after nightfall, there were constant crackling explosions coming from that direction.
Even the zombie attacks that were originally putting great pressure on them had been partially diverted there.
Just now.
Even more terrifying explosions were heard densely, and many zombies under the walls of the large residential areas actually gave up besieging them and changed course to run towards the headquarters!
The sounds there were simply too terrifying!
“The headquarters should be able to hold on, right!? How many zombies do you think have gone over there now??? I estimate at least several hundred thousand!”
“I guess more than several hundred thousand! What we see is just one direction; I estimate that there are many zombies coming from other places as well!”
Many people in the slightly more relaxed large residential areas actually put down their weapons, panting and chatting, finding joy in the midst of suffering.
They were too tired.
Without the assistance of hot weapons, relying only on cold weapons and a certain number of hand crossbows and bows and arrows, they had been defending extremely passively all night.
Fortunately, the vast majority of zombies had turned their attention to the headquarters.
Otherwise, they could have ended it all themselves in advance.
They looked in the direction of the headquarters, where faint flames soared into the sky, the flames caused by the explosions and the previous life belts were still burning.
Even at a distance of two or three kilometers, they could still hear and feel the intensity of the battle there.
This had already surpassed the imagination of ordinary humans.
“Holy crap!!! What are you guys looking at!!”
Suddenly, a member of the personnel on the wall of this No. 2 large residential area pointed in horror at a certain place.
Everyone looked in the direction of his voice and saw a huge figure, estimated to be over three meters tall, running towards the Green Source headquarters with terrifying strides!!
The sound it made as it ran even drowned out the roars of many zombies; all the ordinary zombies blocking its path were easily knocked away like toys!
“What a terrifying mutated zombie!!!”
The personnel staying on the wall of this large residential area only felt their bodies turn cold, and a sense of fear from the soul swept through their bodies!
This was an instinct when facing a higher-level, or rather, unknown creature.
“The headquarters is in danger!”
