Hearing Duan Hei's warning, everyone was shocked. They all stopped what they were doing, raised their heads and looked around.
At the street entrance two hundred meters away, the sound of kicking footsteps gradually became clearer, as if there was some procession behind the ruins of bricks and tiles in the distance.
Finally, a head emerged from the rubble, like a tourist crossing the mountains. It's just that at this moment, the black corpse's clothes are in tatters, with almost no hair on it. It's really difficult for people to connect it with the living people before the disaster.
"It's the Black Corpse! The Black Corpse is here!"
The black corpse is far away, and even if there is only one, it is enough to "explode" the survivor team.
What's more, as people screamed and landed, more black corpses appeared in everyone's sight.
Two, three, ten, twenty!
On the other side of the rubble, who knows how many more there will be!
"Lao Wang, Lao Li, Aping! What are you doing standing still?" Veteran Chen took the lead, rushed to the front of the team, knelt down and fired continuously.
Three others soon joined them. Due to the good shooting skills of the four people, some of the black corpses in the distance were "named" one by one. His companion was shot in the head and fell to the ground. The surviving black corpse felt strange, but could not understand what happened at all.
But four people and four guns were ultimately limited. In just a moment, more black corpses rolled over along the rubble.
The number of black corpses continues to increase, and their kills simply cannot make ends meet!
"Run quickly! The black corpse is coming!"
At this time, people just woke up from a dream, screamed loudly, turned around and ran away.
The black corpses in the distance seemed to have heard the noise, and most of them raised their empty, gray eyes to look here, and their pace seemed to speed up a lot. Seeing this scene, Lin Qian felt impatient and shot the "deserters" at their feet.
The bullets penetrated the rubble, and the gravel mixed with dust hit people on the cheeks. The sting and gunfire calm people down quickly.
Her eyes were red and she said with a stern tone: "Let me see who dares to run away today!"
Yang Xiaoxiao also walked over with a sullen face: "Are you all scared out of your wits? Are the guns in your hands fire sticks?"
But she may have forgotten that the survivors of the last zombie siege used the extravagant and wasteful fighting style. They held the trigger tightly with their fingers and fired randomly. A few double magazines were not enough.
Sure enough, someone in the crowd shouted:
"We've run out of bullets. Do you want us to die?"
"Okay, just let us go."
"I don't want to die..."
"You!" Seeing the noise of these people getting louder and louder, Yang Xiaoxiao clenched her pistol and was so angry.
"Shut up, everyone." She raised her gun and pointed it at the crowd. The crowd quickly became quiet, and several people on the shooting route squeezed left and right and hid in a hurry.
Lin Qian calmed down at this time, looked at Yang Xiaoxiao and shook her head: "Xiaoxiao, forget it."
She also figured it out at this time - these people's "casual shooting skills" would not be helpful at all. Moreover, many people did not want Haiping and the veterans to be equipped with silencers. If they really fired, it would only add to the chaos.
The surviving civilian men and women of the Armed Forces were also collecting crystal cores, but they were not among the crowd shouting and fleeing.
Although they don't know how to shoot, they have been diligent in their behavior and left a good impression on others.
At this time, the man with glasses was squatting in front of a dead body, digging out the crystal core with a knife, and saying these things to the girl next to him.
"Hey, Lili. You said these people are out of bullets, why do they still carry guns with them? The assault rifles in our Armed Forces Department's inventory must weigh at least 3 to 4 kilograms."
"Come on, you are the only one who is smart and everyone else is a fool?" The girl opposite rolled her eyes at him, "Just do it quickly. Uncle Chen and Aping will call us when we are leaving."
"makes sense."
…
It's not that Lang Hua, who was standing on the roadside, didn't notice what was going on here.
Now he is holding the headset with one hand and thinking intently, waiting for more accurate intelligence information.
Finally, the "sizzling" sound of electricity sounded in my ears.
"Chief, we've seen all of this corpse group. There are no black corpses to follow, and there are still about a hundred in number."
"Okay, received. Keep alert! Little Heizi, please pay attention to your safety."
"Be careful, Brother Lang."
Lang Hua turned his head and shouted to everyone: "Don't mess around. Evolvers continue to collect crystal cores. People with abilities will follow me to stop the zombie tide!"
He paused and added: "No one can leave until the crystal cores are collected! Xiaoxiao, you will supervise."
"receive."
After a brief moment of silence, the crowd broke out into even more violent noises.
But due to Yang Xiaoxiao's "power", people still returned to their posts honestly.
"Damn it, the zombie wave is coming, and you let him, Lang Hua, collect the crystal cores. This is not treating us as human beings!"
"Old Zhao, please keep your voice down. People have to bow their heads under the eaves."
Old Zhao picked up a dozen crystal nuclei in the ziplock bag, rolled his eyes and whispered: "Old Zhang, why don't we run away."
When the latter heard this, he quickly put his index finger in front of his mouth and whispered quickly: "You are crazy! How can you run away? Which of those ability users is vegetarian?"
"I still have a dozen rounds of bullets." Old Zhao Youyou added.
But the latter still shook his head: "What are bullets to the zombies? How long can they protect us? Besides, even if we can run out, where can we run? In today's world, where are there no black corpses and where is safety?" of?"
Only then did Lao Zhao become discouraged. But he still gritted his teeth viciously and said: "Damn it, if I were also a person with abilities..."
Section 2 Thunder Chain
Since the number of black corpses is no more than a hundred, there is no need to hide them anymore.
Lang Hua took the lead and led the men forward for more than a hundred meters. At this moment, the black corpses were close in front of them, and the capable people could clearly see the festering flesh and blood on their faces.
"Fire!"
Lang Hua raised his hand and waved, and seven or eight guns fired in unison. The bullet shattered the bones of the face and exploded the stomach-turning rotten flesh. Several black corpses near the front were killed one after another, and the progress of the corpse group stagnated.
"Spread out and fire freely." Lang Hua turned around and said, "Everyone retreats while fighting. Prioritize the use of ammunition and save evolutionary crystal energy."
"Obey!" "I have the order!"
"Little Heizi continues to rise into the air, pay attention to the surrounding movements. Doctor Chen, I will leave it to you to detect the unusual movements among the corpses. This time, we must not be attacked by the special black corpses in disguise again!"
"received!"
After a brief stagnation, the corpse group suddenly moved faster. The black corpses howled loudly and swooped over like chicken blood.
"Ho uh." "Ho ho ho."
Lang Hua and others only had a few silencers on hand, and they were all used up after experiencing the siege by the zombie wave. This time, since we were facing a small group of corpses, we had no worries. As long as we fight quickly, it's easy to escape before the second zombie wave forms.
Only evolutionary crystal energy must be used sparingly.
For ordinary low-level ability users, after the evolutionary crystal energy in the body is exhausted, recovery is extremely slow.
Along the way back, I don’t know how many unexpected situations I encountered. They had to take turns to fight to ensure that when a crisis broke out, there would still be enough capable people to deal with it.
The black corpses moved much faster than Lang Hua expected. They came over in twos and threes and were in front of the team in the blink of an eye.
"Back off! Fire freely, no need to save ammunition!"
"Aunt Ping, pay attention to accumulating energy. The next step is up to you."
"okay."
After a moment, Lang Hua suddenly asked everyone to stop. People dispersed in all directions, leaving a large open space between them and the corpses.
The black corpse lacked thinking and didn't realize anything was wrong, so he continued to pounce on people.
Unfortunately, at this moment, a "fishing net" with sparkling ice crystals appeared out of thin air. The black corpse in front was unable to dodge and collided head-on, forcing him to stop.
It turned out to be Li Liping's ice skill "Ice Net".
Ice Net is similar to Ice Shield, a conventional skill derived from ice abilities. Compared with thick ice shields, ice nets significantly reduce the total energy consumption and focus more on the toughness of each high-strength ice crystal thread.
If the sun hadn't been shining brightly at this time, the ice net standing in the middle of the road would have been almost colorless and invisible. More mindless black corpses collided with the companions in front, and more and more black corpses were crowded into the ice net. The ice net was overwhelmed and made a "creeping" sound!
"Ice Net, gather!"
At this moment, Li Liping's eyes were red, and the ice network had undergone a completely new change with the blessing of its ice energy. Countless ice threads suddenly seemed to shrink, condensing into fibers with only half the original diameter, which could withstand the crushing impact of the corpses.
After many battles, Li Liping's evolutionary level was quietly changed and upgraded last night. She is now a mid-level ice ability user. Thanks to this promotion, otherwise she would not just feel tired at this time.
As a water ability user, Yang Bensheng has evolved slowly. He has not participated in many battles during this period, and his evolution level is still at the early stage of the first level. Now his combat power level is not as good as that of Xiao Heizi, who is only 12 years old, and he is almost at the bottom of the team of ability users.
Just a moment later, the "creak" sound sounded again. More and more black corpses are accumulating in front of the ice net. The structure of the corpse group has changed from loose to aggregation, and the ice net's restraint has reached its limit!
"Lao Yang! Hurry up."
"Okay, retreat first! Rapid fire of water bullets!"
Yang Bensheng and his wife had a tacit understanding. The moment the latter removed the restraints of the ice net, three rows of fist-sized water bombs roared towards the corpses.
The water bombs burst out at high speed under the pull of the crystal core energy, hitting the black corpses below their calves. The corpses were crowded together, forming a posture similar to leaning forward. At this moment, the ice net was withdrawn and they were attacked by water bombs again. The black corpses lost their center of gravity and fell to the road like a stack of Arhats.
At this moment, the corpses have their heads in the air and haven't gotten up yet. It's time for Zhou Jin's skill "Rain of Light Blades" to appear!
This was also the strategy they had discussed before.
But just when Lang Hua decided to inform Zhou Jin to launch an attack, the Qin family elder Lei Li, who was not far away, his eyes lit up and he spoke first: "Haha, little brother, please wait a moment. I will rely on you all the way on this trip. My protection. Let me take action this time."
"Brother Yang, you have to work hard to help me. Thunder Chain, come!"
"Rumble"
The evolvers who were still collecting crystal nuclei looked up at the sky blankly, only to see a cloud above their heads suddenly turn dark. The thick clouds flickered, and there seemed to be thunder and lightning.
"Thunder?" Yang Bensheng's mind was spinning, "Is it electricity?"
"Water Condensation Technique!" At the same time, Yang Bensheng stimulated his evolutionary ability, causing countless water droplets to condense in the space above the corpses' heads. In an instant, they rained down on all the black corpses.
Pure water is non-conductive, so it needs to fall to the ground to be exposed to impurities and floating dust.
The corpses looked around blankly, not knowing what to say, but Lang Hua saw that the hair on their bodies gradually became fluffy and they stood up.
The black corpses may not feel the slight sting on their skin at this moment, but the constant slight popping and "chicking" sounds around them make them extremely irritated. .
"Get away!" The strong wind shook his beard and hair, and he shouted again, "Thunder chain, come!"
It took only a moment, but then a purple-red thunder fell from the sky.
The "Thunder Chain" was shaped like a long snake. A black corpse passed by and chopped it into a charred body. Then, its momentum continued unabated and it hit the ground hard!
"Bang!" An explosion followed.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and there was a smell of meat paste on the street.
When lightning strikes an insulator or high-resistance object, it will produce a heating effect that can cause burning. Because of the water on the ground at this time, the masonry and rubble are not flammable. Lightning passed through the uneven masonry structure, causing explosions.
The smoke dissipated, and there were stiff black corpses everywhere.
"All dead?" Lin Wenjin said in surprise.
"No." It was Zhou Jin who spoke, "Lightning hitting the body will cause the water to evaporate instantly. If he were alive at this moment, his heart would definitely have stopped beating, or he would have been directly burned."
He added: "But these are black corpses, and they have died once a long time ago. Severe cases of lightning strikes will lead to brain death, while milder cases will just cause fainting."
"Yes, that's right." Lei Li was stroking his beard and smiling, completely losing his shaggy look just now, as if he was a different person.
Lang Hua nodded secretly. What they said is right, not only the dominant necromorphs, but also the evolvers like them, because the spore community parasitizes the spinal cord in the back of the brain, the brain naturally becomes a weak point.
The spore colonies are afraid of external strikes such as sharp blades and blunt objects, as well as lightning abilities.
In such a catastrophic world, it makes sense for the lightning ability to be powerful. To be honest, only the king-like light ability can steadily suppress it.
Now that Lang Hua saw that Lei Li's "Thunder Chain" was so powerful, it vaguely had the prototype of "Blue Thunder Killing the World".
Thinking of this, Lang Hua praised loudly: "Elder Lei's extraordinary methods have really opened our eyes."
But the other party looked at him and shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied: "Thank you, little brother. When you are away from home, how can you guard against people with evil intentions if you don't have any means, don't you think so?"
Lang Hua also looked at the other party squarely: "Haha, with Elder Lei here, no young person dares to act rashly."
"Oh? That's very good." Lei Li nodded, "I'll leave the next thing to Brother Lang. I feel quite tired, so I went back to take care of my young lady."
Lang Hua nodded slightly: "Elder Lei, please."
When Lei Li and Lang Hua looked at each other just now, the former's eye color had returned to normal.
But when the "Thunder Chain" was activated, Lang Hua clearly saw a pair of light orange pupils!
Lei Li's concealment was still within Lang Hua's expectations. But the speed of advancement... is really fast.
Less than a month after the disaster, Lei Li was already at the early stage of the second level, only one step behind Lang Hua. How did Lei Li do it? Is it because they also have adventures that Lang Hua doesn't know about, or are the family members inherently extraordinary and have hidden secrets?
Anyone can see that the crystal core energy required to activate the "Thunder Chain" is huge and very few people can provide it. The thunderous wind and light clouds at this moment are really frightening.
Looking back on Li Li's words and demeanor, what he said about being tired was just a refusal. This kind of person should be disdainful of hiding his clumsiness.
Thunder-type abilities were not uncommon after the disaster. Lang Hua had come into contact with far more people with lightning-type abilities than he could count on his fingers in his previous life.
In terms of understanding, I'm afraid even Lei Li himself can't compare to Lang Hua at this early stage of the disaster.
Lang Hua knew that people with lightning abilities could create a high-voltage environment by manipulating evolutionary crystal energy, break down the air in a limited space, and form an electrified circuit. Or you can directly compress the air into plasma quickly, and you can form "micro lightning" or ball lightning at your fingertips.
Just now, Lei Li controlled the high-pressure environment to influence the atmosphere within a certain range, and then used the charged particles in the environment to form a massive and powerful "thunder chain". It was indeed something that only the second level of the thunder system could do.
But the battle in the apocalypse comes and goes quickly, and whoever is slow will die.
How could a dignified lightning-type ability user advance to the second level with only this slow, snail-like method?
The battle is not about juggling, it is not about seeing who is more gorgeous or more bluffing.
What is needed to survive in the apocalypse is some direct, simple and effective attack methods, such as the 'fingertip lightning' most commonly used by people with lightning abilities, which is fast enough and powerful enough.
…
Zhou Jin was right, many black corpses were just fainting and paralyzed, not brain dead.
As expected, many of the black corpses lying on the ground were twitching and preparing to stand up. However, lightning damage to the brain caused the spore community to get out of control. The black corpses were like epileptic patients with uncoordinated limbs, unable to get up no matter how much they squirmed.
Zhou Jin looked at the ground, but he had been paying attention to the conversation between Lang Hua and Lei Li.
Hearing the tit-for-tat meaning in the two people's words, he suddenly smiled playfully.
Facing the black body that fell to the ground and struggled after receiving an electric shock, Zhou Jin murmured to himself: "When I was studying in Australia, I saw pigs in slaughterhouses being treated like this. I never thought I would see them in such a situation." once."
"What's the difference? They're just beasts." Veteran Chen sneered.
"That's true." Zhou Jin nodded, "In this case, let me end them. Being a beast must be quite tiring."
"Light blade, take shape! Let me go!"
