Chapter 265: Back To Turbine Town (7)
"Boss, we're ready," Alex reported. All of them, including Zhang Qin Feng, had replaced their current ammunition with the newer, deadlier version of bullets. Victor has yet to name the shot as it was still on trial, and he said that Zhang Qin Feng can call it as he like.
The Thunderbolt charges also went up by around 10% to support the power outburst they're expecting. The rifle's body extends by two inches to make the upgrade possible, adding one set of coils for the firing preparation.
This add-on made the bullet charged six times before firing, in comparison to five charges previously. The difference might be only a single charge in the numeral. Still, the lethality itself was heightened by at least 20%.
"Open fire," Zhang Qin Feng calmly gave the order to executes the zombie before them.
Their barrage is evidently deadlier than before. Some of the bullets even went through at least two targets before the energy was exhausted. Of course, there's a price in exchange for such a deadly force.
Not a single zombie remained standing after the excitement of firing fifty shots of the new ammunition. But in exchange for the power, their hand operating a jackhammer for hours without stopping.
Only a few excellent members with powerful Physique and Fitness like Zhang Qin Feng and Alex could still use their hands, although in a limited way.
"Ahh…" the Satella Clone, hiding in the zombie's crowd, tried to stand after getting pelted by the barrage of bullets. From the look of it, this Tyrant-Type had sustained quite an injury that cannot be healed instantly.
Furthermore, the discharge from the electricity delayed the healing due to all the paralyzing effects induced on the blood cells, motor function, and virus' activity.
It was trying to scream. But the paralyzing made it unable to do so.
Of course, if Zhang Qin Feng's team were to leave it undisturbed for a minute or two, it won't have trouble by then.
"Reload a focus your attack on that thing!" Zhang Qin Feng made a decisive order to eliminate this target before it could do anything. He wouldn't let his curiosity overwhelm him after knowing what had happened to Satella's team yesterday.
Three out of the nine soldiers beside Alex responded quickly to Zhang Qin Feng's order and replaced the used mag. It was a quick reload and rechange action that was done within fifteen seconds.
"Fire at will!" Zhang Qin Feng ordered. He had a feeling that the fifteen seconds they're taking were too long.
And his sixth sense came up correctly when two screaming sounds were coming from further down the motorway. Since Satella mentioned that they encountered three clones yesterday, it would be weird if this Tyrant-Type acted independently.
"Now!" Zhang Qin Feng urged them to open fire. As for himself, the trigger to fire the Decimator Grenade is also ready to be pulled on his call.
**Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!**
Once again, the rain of bullets came mercilessly at the weakened Tyrant-Type on the ground. This time, it would have no chance to recover as the shot was aiming specifically at it. All the Tyrant-Type could only do was screaming with all its mind before it was burnt to the last cell.
Unless the mutated Seed Crystal Virus can revive itself, this would be the last moment of that Satella Clone.
"Fire in the hole!" Zhang Qin Feng shouts. With a skillful maneuver, he pulled the trigger quickly twice and delivered the grenades towards both sides of the road.
The explosion created two walls of flames that blocked the zombies from coming through. But it was for naught when another pair of screams came from beyond the fire.
Like before, the scream from the two Tyrant-Types agitates the zombies as a screamer does. This causes all the zombies nearby to went into hysteria as they charge through the flames without fear.
It seems that the scream from the Tyrant-Type was capable of overwriting the viruses inside the regular zombie's body to do their bidding. This made the physical body, which had a certain degree of self-preservation, to acted completely like a minion before the Tyrant-Type.
"Steady retreat! Maintain formation!"
"Alex! You know what you have to do when we're cornered!" Zhang Qin Feng ordered.
The ten soldiers, including Alex, gradually retreated as the zombies were coming past the flames. The flames were like disintegrating furnaces that get them aflame. Still, when facing the sheer number of zombies, even the fire was defeated by the army of zombies.
"Grenades!" Alex ordered. They picked up their retreating speed the moment more than ten or so zombies survived the fire. There's already a hint that Zhang Qin Feng's walls of flame are dying.
And they'll have to secure their retreating path before considering anything else.
A total of four Decimator Grenades is fired on the zombie's path, creating four more walls to deter the undead. The heat and insulation from the fire itself quieted some of the Tyrant-Type's screams, but it is still very discerning.
Zhang Qin Feng knew that these new zombies would be a pain in their asses when they're attacking the Turbine Town. It won't be surprising to assume that there are at least ten or so waiting for them before the Repopulation Shelter.
"AHHH!" a third scream came after the first two.
Their only problem is the scream does not come from the motorway bridge, but below.
"Fuck it." Zhang Qin Feng knew that they're trapped. Their current location was between the 2nd and 3rd kilometer into the motorway. The distance between them and the forest under the motorway bridge was about 100 to 150 meters.
The scream itself means that if the zombies climb using the pillars, they'll be attacked from all directions in this motorway.
"Alex, pull back! Everyone gets into the truck!" said Zhang Qin Feng as his worries were going to be realized by the fourth Tyrant-Type that came out of nowhere.
The scanner on his wrist has started to show the ridiculous numbers of zombies gathering at their location.
"Get back! Go!" Alex shouted. As the leader, it was his responsibility to make sure all his team members followed his order. But as he turned his head to look back, the jaw of a Satella Clone was merely a meter away from him.
