Chapter 206: Chapter 174: Zombie: Who Ordered Takeout for Me!
"Crack!"
Just as all cannons were aimed, the black cloth suddenly shook, and then with a crackling sound, it tore open a large hole.
"Something’s happening!"
"Alert! Battle preparations!"
Dozens of crisp sounds, precisely the sound of bullets being loaded.
Under the watchful eyes of dozens, a dark shadow leaped high from the ground, and in an instant, the array was breached by earth blocks, and it emerged on the other side.
It grinned, eyes eerie, its green eyes fixed deadly on everyone present.
"Hiss!"
Seeing the exposed black claws of the zombie with a hint of silver, Ye Yunqing took a sharp breath, feeling chilled to the bone.
Damn it, this is indeed a zombie, and one that has begun to evolve!
If it were just an ordinary Iron Corpse, under the firepower coverage, there wouldn’t be too much of an issue.
Of course, even a genuine Silver Corpse can’t withstand modern technology.
A few shots and it would be cooked beyond recognition by its own mother.
But the problem is, the zombie before us is beyond the ordinary evil realm!
The most common Iron Corpse, is just tough skinned and invulnerable to weapons, but once starting as a Silver Corpse, a zombie starts shedding its mortal coil and gaining a bit of spirit.
It’s precisely this bit of spirit that allowed it to sense a mortal threat earlier and autonomously evade without its master’s orders.
Thought the Protective Yang Array was sufficient to obscure its senses, yet it was still discovered.
"Damn it, who’s the unlucky bastard robbing a family’s grave, seriously!"
Looking at the Iron Corpse’s appearance, it’s not only more sinister but also at a crucial point of evolution, the Yin Qi Array was breached, and with the Protective Yang Array’s timely obscuring, didn’t drive it berserk.
But now with the Protective Yang Array breached, sensing its path to evolution cut off, if it doesn’t go berserk, Ye Yunqing would stand on his head to wash his hair!
Wang Dahai too felt a shock but quickly regained composure, swiftly leading non-combat personnel to retreat.
Professional tasks require professional people, non-combat personnel staying awkwardly would only cause trouble.
"Roar!"
"Roar, you ancestral bastard! Fire at it!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The forest echoed with a dense barrage of gunfire.
The Iron Corpse just awakened and hasn’t fully evolved, a bullet hitting it noticeably slows its speed, even forcing it back due to the massive impact.
The people present, being military elites, quickly recognized this and distanced from the Iron Corpse, scattered but organized, attacking from multiple points.
"Maintain distance, maintain distance!"
"Don’t spread out too much! Cover fire from left and right, lower fire in the center, restrict its movement!"
"Second battalion commander, prepare grenades and incendiaries!"
Just as anticipated, the Iron Corpse roared once and charged straight down the middle.
"Great opportunity! Fire at it!"
The second battalion commander seized the moment, giving an order as seven or eight shells rushed toward the Iron Corpse.
"Roar!"
The shell speed was rapid, yet the Iron Corpse was quick as well, moving at a bizarre angle close to the ground, the shells whistled past its scalp.
None of the shells hit it!
"Damn it! Again!"
Another round of artillery shots, and unsurprisingly, still missed, but the Iron Corpse was forced back considerably, creating a safe distance.
Anyone with sharp eyes knows this isn’t a long-term solution.
After all, nobody can guarantee killing the monster before all ammunition depletes.
"Roar!"
Bullets tore through the Iron Corpse’s body, causing it to struggle and frantically try to advance.
"Like maybe if you’d actually run instead, stupid!"
Lin Nanbei gritted his teeth with pain, pulling out a wax-yellow talisman from under his chest lining.
After witnessing Ning An’s Thunder Strike Token last time, he suddenly had enlightenment, and upon returning to the mountain, in one go, penned this Thirty-Six Thunder Talisman.
He was originally a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, a derivative branch of the three talismanic sects, specializing only in Thunder Skills, with the sect focusing on Five Thunders, including Ten Thunders, Thirty-Six Thunders.
According to their Shenxiao Sect’s Thunder Scripture records, the Celestial Realm has Thirty-Six Heavens, each heaven having a Thunder, their Ten Thunders and Thirty-Six Thunder Talismans can initiate a Thunder Array.
Though the records exist, all these years, nobody seriously used this thing.
Initially, Lin Nanbei didn’t care much for it but after witnessing the thunder strike from the sky, he instantly had a revelation, vaguely peering into a mysterious world.
Until now, he has just painted this one Thunder Talisman, evidently spirited.
But in this urgent situation, pressing from necessity, no time to lament the aching!
"Stick this onto the incendiary, it works!" Lin Nanbei handed the Thunder Talisman to the second battalion commander.
"Alright!"
The second battalion commander glanced at the Thunder Talisman, asked no questions, and stuck it directly onto his assigned incendiary.
With the surrounding firepower containment, barely pinning the Iron Corpse to one spot, the second battalion commander grinned broadly, one spot is all it takes!
"Kids, fire it up!"
"Bang!"
The next second, as the incendiary exploded, a delicate lightning net emerged atop the Iron Corpse’s head, with dragons and snakes raging.
"Roar!"
The Iron Corpse, previously unresponsive, now seemingly experiencing pain, roared in agony, with smoke rising from its body, thrashing madly as if gone berserk.
The second battalion commander was extremely shocked.
"Damn, truly impressive!"
Isn’t it impressive?
That’s the result of my blood, sweat, and tears over half a month!
"So, can this thing be dealt with?"
Firepower still suppressed, everyone stared intently at the Iron Corpse, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.
