Chapter 166: Large-Scale Attack (5)
"Woo!!!" the Tyrant that was shot by Satella's Lunacy Anti-Materiel Rifle fell on the ground from that force. It was considered lucky for not having its brain blown by a single bullet.
Nobody knew if it was lucky or unlucky to get a clean hit on the trachea. The Tyrant managed to preserve its pitiful life. Still, it was no different from death because the body is no different from a stringless puppet that had lost control of the brain.
[Tyrant neutralized. Two Screamers were detected within the horde. Remain alert until detection]
Stein's support came right on time as Zhang Qin Feng placed his hand over Satella's shoulder. After reloading the Lunacy with another bullet within the chamber, the weapon returned into Zhang Qin Feng's Dimensional Storage for later uses.
"Open fire! We'll move forward carefully until we arrive at the safe zone!" Zhang Qin Feng ordered. The Centurion Rifle in his hand was fired continuously at the incoming zombies that managed to escape from his soldier's barrage.
It took them less than expected to arrive at the first safe zone, but it was not as safe as they thought initially.
This area was infested with zombies as well. And their number is more significant than before.
"Bring out the big boys!" Zhang Qin Feng instructed.
"Yes, Boss!" the soldiers swapped their Centurion Rifle with the Rocket Launcher designed especially for this attacking mission. After much consideration, they decided to name this weaponry according to a new serial number.
Qingfeng Infantry Armaments, HW-001 "Decimator" Rocket Launcher.
Close to twenty Decimator had their safety taken off as it deployed into a complete 1,200mm long Launcher Tube. The velcro handheld section seems to be alive as it tightens the grip accordingly to the user's hand.
"Weapons ready!" the soldiers announced that they're ready to fire while the others were still delivering a suppression fire towards the incoming zombie horde.
"Stop firing! Await for my order." Zhang Qin Feng said.
His order led those with less than ten or so bullets in their mag to quickly reload their weapon. He was the only one still aiming at the zombies while the others were nervous while waiting for his order.
"Boss…" sweat as big as a bead was rolling down from along Alex's jawline. He was as nervous as the other soldiers. In fact, nobody wasn't because there are close to a thousand zombies coming at this like landslide.
The only thing that makes them not run away is that this landslide is slow, unlike how nature swallowed the building and cities in a flash.
"AHH!" suddenly, a scream can be heard. But before it could last for over half a second, the brain of that Screamer was blown by Zhang Qin Feng's Centurion Rifle.
"NOW! Fire the Decimator!" Zhang Qin Feng gave the order as the other soldiers all kneeled down and took cover.
**Whoosh! - Whoosh! - Whoosh!!!**
The warheads from the Decimator Launcher went out fiercely as it blew the incoming zombie horde into smithereens. Corpses were torn into pieces as they splattered all around the battlefield. The entire area was literally covered with blood and flesh after the second barrage.
"Two more rounds. Alex, Satella, get ready to move forward after the explosion." Zhang Qin Feng ordered. The sonar map from Stein's Luna II reported a significant reduction in the number of movements around their vicinity.
"Follow me! Alex, take a left! I'll lead my team to the right side. Feng, stand by until you get my signal, alright?" Satella said. She said while holding the same Centurion-Custom Zhang Qin Feng was using.
Twenty soldiers departed from the leading group as they went out to clear the battlefield from any hidden threats. It took them close to twenty minutes to finish their work, but the result was evident.
On Luna II's report, there's not a single unidentified movement is detected.
The group marched forward and entered the abandoned building carefully. Even if there's no movement detected from the Luna Device on their wrist, it was better to be safe than sorry. A bite is all it takes to infect them and turn one of them into the infectee, and one infectee is all it needs to turn the forty-four of them into zombies.
"Safe."
"Safe."
"Second floor, clear."
"Third floor here, clear."
Everyone's report came in almost at the same time. After doing some basic cleaning and barricading the weaker spot of the building, the group entered and stayed for the night.
It was not as peaceful as they thought.
At night, the attack is more frequent than they expected. They were attacked by at least ten waves of zombies in succession. And each of their attacks was fiercer than before. Was it not because Zhang Qin Feng had a way to bring more supplies in this expedition, they'll be out of bullets and food within two nights.
"Feng, just sleep. I'll be on guard tonight," said Satella. Although she was a succubus on the bed at night, while they're outside, she was as dependable as a god's valkyrie. Her eyes never left Zhang Qin Feng's surroundings once while trying to keep him safe.
"I'm alright. Are Alex and Queenie around?" Zhang Qin Feng was looking for the other two after he remembered something.
"Yes, boss. We're here." the two gets up from their seat and walks over to Zhang Qin Feng's side.
"Good. I have something for the three of you. Listen to me very well." Zhang Qin Feng whispered as he took nine bottles of injection serums out from his backpack.
"This is the Grade-G Physique Serum. This one is the Fitness Serum. As for this, it is a concentrated version of Instant Recovery Serum. Taking this Physique Serum will grant you the ability of Steelskin, and the Fitness Serum will grant you with Haste."
"This is absolutely your trump card for survival, so keep them with you at all times. Stay alert as this was only our first night."
"I have a suspicion that the zombie's forces were not as simple as we thought. Their movement was too organized, almost to the point someone is controlling them, so stay alarmed."
"Our opponents… Might not be zombie alone." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"Yes… Boss…" the three of them nodded after looking at one another.
