Chapter seventeen
Without anyone managing it, the city is getting dirty.
There were scattered pieces of paper and plastic bags everywhere, and fallen leaves and various discards were scattered on the streets. Many roads were blocked by vehicles, and the bodies remained in a stiff posture. Many mice gathered in the drainage ditch on the side of the road. They began to occupy houses that should belong to humans, chewing the flesh unscrupulously, and hurried between the ground and the sewer.
Su Hao silently stared at the scenery passing by outside the car window.
It won't take long to spread to rats, birds and other animals. No race can survive. And they will mutate more quickly and terrifyingly.
These things are recorded in future archives. There is no exact data to indicate when mutation will begin. Maybe one year, or less.
Xinyan in the back seat looked at Su Hao's side face, blinked his bright eyes, and asked, "Where are we going today?"
Su Hao looked at the rear mirror and said, "A car supermarket in the north."
"Oh? Do you want to change a car? How about Mercedes-Benz? Generally speaking, German products are more sturdy and durable."
Han Jing was very excited to talk. Her previous family background made it impossible for her to get in touch with these things, but it did not prevent her from learning similar information from the newspapers and the Internet.
Su Hao smiled faintly: "We need a car, truck, or a school bus that we got last time."
..
The automobile supermarket is a large square. It is divided into dozens of interconnected areas according to different manufacturers and usage functions. Most buildings are simple warehouses built with lightweight materials, with good light transmission and ventilation. However, too many cars are placed in the center of the site, making the surrounding passage narrower and can only accommodate the width of one car. So when entering and leaving the market, you must go in and out of the market in counterclockwise direction and follow the passage order.
The off-road vehicle was parked outside the market, and Su Hao's pace was also maintained at a constant speed. Xinyan and Han Jing followed him, and the three of them formed a warning in different directions and slowly penetrated into the market.
There were no zombies along the way, only a few bones with all their flesh and internal organs lying in the sun, until they were tanned and smelly.
Very quiet, without any abnormality.
Su Hao's search consciousness was fully released. He tried hard to find corners that could not be seen by the naked eye, and to find existences that might pose a threat to him. But for some reason, he always felt a faint sense of crisis, as if an invisible giant hand was ready to cover him at any time, but there was no clue.
Still no zombies were found, and there were no signs of danger.
The radius of consciousness search has extended to the limit of fifty meters. At this distance, Su Hao is absolutely sure to deal with any enemy. However, the worries lingering in his mind are getting deeper and more obvious.
I have already walked through the display area of "Nissan" cars and you can see a heavy mixer sprayed with yellow paint right in front of me. There is the sales area of the load-carrying vehicle.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, Su Hao stopped suddenly and reached out to stop Xinyan and Han Jing who were about to continue moving forward.
He vaguely heard a very slight sound.
It was like the sound of footsteps, and it was like an asthma patient was breathing.
He doesn't know if it's true?
Or is it an illusion that the auditory nerve is disturbed by the energy of consciousness?
So far, he still does not understand the specific function of the prototype agent.
Yes, I am already a third stage of strengthening person. The strength, speed, and thinking and reaction ability are several times more than that of ordinary people, and the hearing and smell are also very sensitive. But even so, under the interference of certain abnormal factors, the brain will also make wrong judgments.
The sound is getting closer and closer.
This time, Su Hao was sure that he had heard it correctly and that it was not an illusion.
He suddenly opened his slightly narrowed eyes, and shock flashed in his shrinking pupils. He quickly took off the assault rifle on his back, and immediately turned around without any hesitation, stared at the distant passage with his nervous eyes, and said in a low and fierce manner: "Go away! We are in big trouble."
As he said that, he pulled up the assault rifle's security forcefully and ran towards the direction of the market's entry. Xinyan and Han Jing were a little at a loss and could only follow behind with suspicion.
The market is large and covers an area of several square kilometers.
"Chery", "Volkswagen", "Chevrolet"... Dozens of brands have their own independent display areas, and hundreds of vehicles of various types parked in warehouses and booths. According to different usage functions, they are divided into two major sections: civilian and engineering vehicles. Due to site restrictions, due to factors such as the ultimate advertising effect and sales volume, engineering vehicles are arranged to the south of the market and are also the farthest away from the exit.
The terrifying sound was getting closer and closer, and dense cold sweat began to seep from Su Hao's forehead. He continued to speed up and silently prayed that the terrible guesses should not become reality. A few minutes later, they had already run through the display area of the "Toyota" car. Just as the moment they bypassed the corner of the passage, Su Hao suddenly stood, as if the sculpture was suddenly frozen, maintaining a stiff position in place and never moving again.
"ah----"
Behind her, Han Jing let out a scream that was almost piercing her eardrum. Her face turned pale in an instant, and she almost collapsed on the ground on the spot. Her trembling hands kept pointing to the exit of the market at a distance, her lips wide open, but she couldn't say a word.
Zombies, hundreds of zombies, are rushing in from the end of the road.
They squeezed out the poles that landed across the intersection and occupied the small square to the south of the passage. These terrible creatures did not scream or shout. They obviously smelled the breath of living people here and wandered between brand new vehicles and roads. Although they were slow to move, the number of entering the market was increasing. The channels in the three directions in front of the exit, left and right were blocked, and the radius spreading was at least more than two hundred meters.
Xinyan felt her heart beating very quickly and she could hardly breathe. She reached out to pull Browning out of the holster of the waist, bared her teeth, and pulled the bolt hard. She was about to lift it up, but Su Hao reached out to stop her.
"Don't shoot first. These guys have a more sensitive hearing than vision, which will attract more zombies."
He raised his head, quickly swept around, and his eyes fixed at the warehouse of the "Volkswagen" car dozens of meters away. Su Hao quickly urged in a low voice, leading the two girls around the back of the house and climbed up the roof along the escalator.
The vision immediately became wider, and you could see a large number of corpses gathered on the road outside the exit. They were blocking the market entrance, as if they had just received a big discount on cars and a BMW could drive home for only 500 yuan, and customers were scrambling to squeeze in and flooding everything with dense groups like sea water.
Su Hao watched the market exports.
There was an unknown time when there was a black "Santana". The front of the car was facing the gate, and hundreds of zombies gathered at the rear of the car, forming a very dense and not very regular circle. The zombies at the core were chewing flesh and blood in their mouths, and broken broken human limbs were constantly being transmitted from the circle. Across hundreds of meters, Su Hao's enhanced eyes could still see clearly————The zombies were fighting for food was a dead human. Long bright red blood marks extended from the rear of the "Santana" sedan and connected to the distant street intersection.
Blood is spread like a signal by the strong wind.
The zombies wandering aimlessly in every corner slowly moved closer in this direction.
Black spots gradually appeared on the gray road, getting closer and closer, and more and more.
Su Hao's hearing was very sensitive, but he didn't hear the roar of the car's engine from beginning to end.
This means that the person driving the "Santana" is very careful and the speed is not fast. As for the corpse that has been torn to pieces by zombies... Judging from the remaining blood on the road, it should be that he had just died and was dragged from other places.
The purpose is to attract zombies to block the exit and let all of them die here.
It took less than five minutes, and Su Hao had already figured out the whole story through observation. He was sure that his guess would be wrong. His mind kept replaying the clear simulation of the event, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Obviously, someone is going to deal with himself.
who are they?
military?
Or the hunter of the future world?
The two doubts that had just arisen in his mind were immediately rejected by him.
It has been four days since we got the prototype potion from the square. The military cannot wait until now to take action, and will never use methods such as zombies to surround them. Instead, they directly attack the bank building and kill everyone there.
As for future hunters, this is simply impossible. Time and space transmission is full of unpredictable dangers. If you want to overlap two exactly the same time endpoints, the probability is equivalent to one hundred million. The time machine has been blown up, and the trackers of the future world have no coordinates and do not know the specific transmission time node. As long as there is a misjudgment of zero point and one microsecond, it will be transmitted to another time and space dimension. Those people cannot take such a big risk.
Who wants his own life?
Compared with humans, Su Hao would rather choose zombies as his opponent——they are low-intelligent and rely entirely on biological instinct to guide movements. However, humans are completely different. They are smart and cannot see through the kindness or evil in their hearts. Behind their smiles, there are often sharp knives shining with cold light.
"We...what should we do?"
Han Jing's teeth were trembling and speechless. She had killed dozens of zombies face to face, but had never seen such a large group of corpses. Although the girl tried hard to control her emotions and wanted to calm down, she could not help but tremble all over.
"Don't panic, check the weapon immediately to make sure there is no shooting failure."
Su Hao patted her shoulder hard and handed the assault rifle in his hand to Xinyan. While taking out the spare magazine from his pocket, he pointed to the tall wall in the side and said seriously: "You are responsible for sniping the zombies close to here. Han Jing goes down and find a car to drive over. It's better to be the kind with strong horsepower. I will always pay attention to the movements on your side. Believe me, this is not a difficult problem. We can all leave alive----"
After saying that, he took a deep breath, picked up the threaded steel bars placed under his feet, jumped off the roof, with a gloomy face, and strode towards the zombies spreading from the exit.
Han Jing held the pistol tightly, looked at Su Hao's back with despair, and asked with great difficulty: "He, what do he want to do? Do you commit suicide?"
Xinyan restrained the idea of catching up with her, and her voice was a little hollow: "...I don't know."
"He...he will die! He will be eaten----"
Suddenly, Han Jing grabbed Xinyan's body armor tightly and shouted like crazy: "You can't do this, we have to help him, we must be with him."
Xinyan only felt that his mind was very confused, and countless strange and familiar scenes flashed in front of him. There was the bloody battle between zombies fighting against zombies in the underground parking lot, and the pain of Zheng Chao being torn apart by the corpse. Su Hao was in every scene filled with death and despair. He rushed to the front every time, and never had any expressions of fear or fear on his face. He seemed to be smiling at all times, just like the gorgeous sunshine, which made people feel comfortable and trustworthy.
"Go and drive———"
Xinyan grabbed the assault rifle in her hand, half-kneeled, and her breathing made her plump breasts twitch. She flattened the gun, put her right eye close to the scope hole, and roared in an unprecedented fierce tone: "What are you still standing here? Do what he said. Go drive, choose the best car, don't swipe the card or pay, and directly crush those damn mutant hybrids----"
..
The muscles on Su Hao's body had tightened, and the huge palm force made the steel bars bent. He moved the joints on both shoulders and walked towards the corpse group in a seemingly leisurely pace. At this distance, the smell of sweat was strong enough, and the zombies walking in the front also discovered new prey. They howled, like a puppet controlled by an invisible hand, stumbled over.
"Bang————”
The sweeping steel bars accurately hit the forehead of a zombie. The increased pressure caused the head to explode. The splashing blood spots and minced meat almost dyed the entire wall next to the passage red. Even a few blood flowers bloomed on the hood of a "Geely" sedan a few meters away.
He shouted violently, throwing the blood-stained steel bars straight out like javelins, penetrated through the bodies of two or three zombies one after another. The huge impact force made the corpse group slightly sleepy for a few seconds. Su Hao seized the opportunity to hold the top of the zombie skull that was pounced on the side, and broke the spine of the terrible carnivorous creature on the spot like breaking sugarcane. Before the zombie who had lost its ability to move collapsed, he punched the other one's cheek, causing the originally twisted ugly head to shrink and break instantly.
The storm-like fighting broke the calmness over the car supermarket. The howling of the corpse groups became louder and louder, and the zombies rushed over quickly. Su Hao was not afraid of this numb monster. He stretched out his arms to pinch the throat of the zombie next to him, pulled out his rotten head and black spine from his ragged body. He then pulled out two daggers from his waist, smiled grimly, and squeezed through the middle of the two zombies at a lightning speed. The sharp blade slashed through the air from the left and right sides, making a low whistle. A fine blood mark appeared on the zombie's neck immediately, expanding until the entire head was tilted backward and his body fell.
The whole body was covered with blood, soaked in clothes. Su Hao felt more and more excited, and his murderous intent became stronger and stronger. He released energy like an angry wild bear, tearing up every zombie with the most violent movements. The splashed dirty blood covered the entire face. He didn't mind carrying a large amount of virus-like minced meat into his mouth, but instead chewing it subconsciously.
He is immune to viruses and his stomach and intestines can completely digest these things.
Although, it's not nutritious, and the taste is average.
The layers of zombies rushed forward without fear, and countless hands stretched out from all directions. The gray-white fingers were like old roots of dead trees, blocking the sunlight, and twisting Su Hao's body from the middle, as if a cage made of the most ferocious beast, imprisoning in the most brutal and direct way, then tearing it apart, and finally swallowing it.
The speed of the dagger waving was accelerating. The tip of the blade slashed through the throats of the zombies that kept coming, creating dozens of headless corpses like an assembly line. The accuracy was as precise as it had been measured, and the killing speed increased rapidly. In just five or six minutes, Su Hao's feet were already covered with thick layers of twitching flesh, and dirty heads with grinning teeth were rolling down on the ground.
They are not dead yet.
This state is actually no different from death.
The body will not move freely without brain control, and the broken head will not be able to return to its original position through surgical methods.
Su Hao wiped the blood mud from his face and inserted the blade into the eye socket of the zombie opposite.
The enhancement effect of the third stage was fully displayed. He waved his backhand to hit the chest of another zombie, which was powerful to shatter the internal organs and bones of the zombie and instantly turned into eroded blood mud.
This kind of hitting power is comparable to that of heavy machinery. If the bones and muscles are not strengthened and the mass density increases, the person who exerted the force himself cannot bear huge pressure at all. This is the meaning of taking the "Luther Condensation Layer" and prototype potion.
He is like a wall, a wall that has no actual shape and only exists in empty and illusion, firmly blocking the zombies who want to move forward.
The corpses piled up on the nearby ground became thicker and thicker, and zombies who didn't know what they were afraid of continued to flock over.
One person faces a large group of people who are dead but not stiff.
It's like two fists that are constantly competing for strength, twisting together tightly. No one can do anything to each other, and they are fighting wildly.
Zombies in the "-1" stage may not have wisdom, but they still belong to biological ones.
They know what foods can adapt to their stomachs and intestines, and they also understand that the line between two points is the shortest. Visual obstacles make them ignore the traps under their feet and stubbornly rush towards their targets. However, when they encounter obstacles, they will bypass the barrier and find another way out.
Su Hao, who has the third stage of strengthening physique, is very strong. He can kill hundreds of zombies by himself.
But he had only one person, and could only guard one way and block one direction.
