#740 - Chapter 740: Finding the Long Tongue
Swish, swish, swish.
Extremely faint footsteps sounded outside a certain residential area in Yun City, in a place where the main gate could be seen.
This was a Green Origin combat unit led by Li Bowen, carrying out a mission.
As warriors who frequently went out and dealt with zombies, the Green Origin Development Department naturally custom-made special combat boots for them.
The bottom was made of soft rubber and sound-absorbing materials, so that the combat unit personnel would not disturb nearby zombies due to the sound of their footsteps while marching.
Team Leader Li stood at the front. Their seven-man squad was waiting for assistance from other team members in the distance from the target residential area.
Of course, they couldn't just walk in and take risks.
Who would be stupid enough to rush in and die?
Of course, they would use drones to attract the zombies and aggro them, clearing out a wave first!
It would be best if that mutated zombie was really stupid enough to run out and take a bullet.
Zhao Lei, the team member with accurate marksmanship, had already set up a sniper rifle next to him. As long as the target appeared, Li Bowen believed that this mutated zombie would be unable to escape!
"Begin!"
"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"
Liu Qing and the other two team members skillfully manipulated three drones to fly towards the residential area. They wanted to try to lure the target out first.
Team Leader Li and the others waited quietly with their weapons for the target to appear at any time.
There were also other drones monitoring the entire residential area from high altitude.
This mutated zombie couldn't escape!
Ten minutes later.
The Green Origin team frowned as they looked at about a hundred zombies that had been attracted by the music played by the drones.
There were no obviously special types among this batch of attracted zombies.
In other words, the target was not among them.
"Let's get rid of these ordinary mobs first!"
Since it wasn't there, they would deal with these ordinary zombies first, and then go into the residential area to find the real target.
Qin Jin had explained to them before that some mutated zombies had the ability to predict danger. In the past, combat troops had also encountered mutated zombies hiding in buildings after using drones to clear the area.
So this wave of attraction really didn't guarantee a 100% harvest.
Then let's just do it directly later!
A mere hundred or so ordinary zombies that had been attracted were not enough for the Green Origin team members to even bother with.
They didn't even use bombs. The terrain here was open, and using bombs would easily attract zombies from further away.
Nearly ten silenced guns fired in bursts one after another. Under their precise marksmanship, all of these unlucky zombies who were still reaching out and standing in place trying to grab the drones fell down.
"Leave two people to continue monitoring the surroundings! Two of the drones will enter for internal reconnaissance!"
After solving these ordinary mobs, Team Leader Li continued to order.
He still didn't consider entering directly.
Rushing in rashly without figuring out the target's location was something only those brainless characters in movies would do.
Clearly having good tools but still having to risk their own lives, in other words, it would be useless even if they didn't die.
Two drones flew towards the residential area, with 360-degree panoramic lenses that could observe the picture from all angles at any time.
Li Bowen and the others all stared carefully at the screen held by Liu Qing.
As long as they determined the location, then this monster that might still be inside couldn't escape!
——————————
Fang Xingshan looked towards the window that let in a glimmer of light with a stomach full of doubt and excitement.
He heard it just now!
A long-lost electronic sound appeared outside!
Someone was playing music to attract zombies!
It seemed like he was saved!
"It must be the people from Green Origin who have come! Hurry! I'm here! Save me!"
He kept muttering.
Praying to God and Buddha that the Green Origin people who appeared outside would quickly enter the residential area to save him.
He wasn't sure if the people outside were really from Green Origin, but at this moment, the probability that they were the ones who dared to come here to attract monsters was extremely high!
Unfortunately.
His prayers did attract something.
It wasn't the Green Origin personnel he wanted to see.
But the mutated zombie monster he least wanted to see!
Tap tap tap!!
A series of heavy footsteps appeared again outside this room, and then, in Fang Xingshan's desperate gaze, a tall black shadow rolled out a long tongue and shot towards him!
"Ugh ugh ugh!!!"
Fang Xingshan, who was originally weak all over, was entangled around the neck. He didn't know where he got the strength to grab the old tongue, which was as tough as cowhide, with both hands, wanting to break free.
But how could he shake the monster in front of him with even half the strength he had in normal times?
Crack!
With a crisp sound, this survivor who came here to find news to exchange for food died here!
He didn't wait for the rescue that appeared outside, and took a step into the Yellow Springs ahead of time.
The culprit rolled his corpse towards itself and began to feast on it without ceremony!
It was clearly hungry after being tempted by the appearance outside just now, but it stopped at the door.
Its body instinctively told it that it would die if it took a few more steps forward!
Without emotions or wisdom, it barely overcame its appetite at the last moment and hid back in the building.
Annoyed, it decided to eat the rations it had captured before to suppress the hunger.
Smack!
Chunks of fresh meat were swallowed into its bloody mouth, gradually relieving the desire in its belly.
"Roar—!"
It let out a low roar and dragged Fang Xingshan's remains to another place.
——————————
Buzz buzz buzz—!
The drone flew inside the residential building.
After entering here, the operator Liu Qing also became much more cautious. According to the information obtained from the trading branch before, this place was hiding a mutated zombie named the Long Tongue.
It has an extremely thick and long tongue that can extend more than ten meters from its mouth!
And its own movement speed and strength should not be underestimated.
It can be considered a monster that is not easy to deal with.
Of course, this is for other ordinary survivors.
It was still somewhat lacking in front of the Green Origin team members who were well prepared.
"4 o'clock direction! A black shadow flashed by just now!"
Li Bowen, who had evolved, had the strongest eyesight. When the drone flew past the outer wall of a certain building, he instantly captured a shadow that flashed past in the corridor inside!
Liu Qing cooperated very skillfully and immediately manipulated the drone to fly in that direction.
In just a few tens of seconds, the drone finally caught up with a moving figure.
The team member next to the operating interface stared intently and saw that this thing was more than two meters tall, its limbs were much slenderer than ordinary humans, and a hideous and terrifying head had a huge serrated hole!
A wet and long tongue was hanging outside what could barely be called a mouth!
Long Tongue!
This type of mutated zombie had also been killed in the previous large-scale zombie tide defense battle, but it was much smaller than the one seen now!
How many people did this one eat!?
Also, is that a human arm in its hand right now!?
