blood plague

Chapter 177
A few minutes later, the pickup truck arrived near yesterday's explosion site, and saw all kinds of body fragments all over the ground. The center of the explosion was an empty circle, and outside the circle was a large circle of fallen corpses in a radial pattern.

The group of infected people who surrounded here yesterday did not stay in place, did not spread, and did not even invade Toduo Town, they actually retreated back.

Interesting.

Suddenly, Iger thought in horror that these infected people were not standing on the road meaninglessly in a daze, but they were protecting the oval sarcoma in the middle.

Strange, the situation doesn't feel good.

Iger's original relaxed mood sank instantly, and he said to Joanna: "Go, drive forward, and slow down."

The pickup truck moved forward slowly, until it was only about 50 meters away from the group of infected people, and Iger stopped the car.

"Joanna, turn around first, don't turn off the engine." Iger told her after opening the car door, "I'll go to the roof and shoot a few shots, and you have to shout before you start."

"Okay." Joanna replied.

"You two, go cover me in the carriage." Iger said to Nicholas and Thomas.

After Iger got out of the pickup truck, he nimbly flipped into the compartment. After picking up a shotgun, he picked up the binoculars, and then climbed onto the roof.

Nicholas and Thomas lay prone in the carriage, and when they were ready, Iger squatted on the roof and whispered to them, "No shooting without my order."

After hearing Iger's words, the two nodded.

To be honest, facing such a huge number of infected people at such a close distance, not only Thomas, but Nicholas is now sweating coldly.

Now the two of them were lying on their stomachs in the carriage, so nervous that they almost melted the handle of the gun.

The two troubled brothers can only pray silently while betting that Captain Iger will never make a mistake.

Iger stood on the roof of the car, and he used binoculars to search for the group of infected people ahead.

Deep in the infected population, Iger found the sarcoma again.

"Okay. Poke this sarcoma today and see how they respond." Iger put down the binoculars and began to conduct a simple visual inspection. He had a head but no face. Due to the crowd blocking him, he could not see more information and estimated the distance. About 300 meters.

300 meters, which is really a lot.

You should know that the nearest infected person is only 50 meters away from the pickup truck, and the distance from the sarcoma is 300 meters. That is to say, there is a phalanx of infected people with a width of 4 lanes and a thickness of 250 meters in front of Iger.

Considering that if the sarcoma is located in the center, wouldn't it be a 500-meter-thick phalanx of infected people?

Iger's mathematics is still good, but he can no longer calculate how many infected people there may be in this square of infected people.

From what I can guess, it must be tens of thousands.

Thinking that this number was ten times larger than yesterday's estimate, Iger's palms also broke out in a lot of cold sweat.

I don't know how many survivors escaped from Pudo City after the outbreak of the blood epidemic. Iger intuitively saw the difficulty of escaping from the city.

Pudo City is also different from those big cities.

In big cities, there are still many survivors playing parkour games in high-rise buildings, but Pudo City does not have such conditions.

That is to say, except for specific areas of a few large cities, America is "rural".

Because of the vast land and sparse population, almost all towns are divided into big pies. Even if there are a few high-rise buildings, it is not enough to provide enough living space for the survivors.

Therefore, after the blood plague broke out, the only way for most survivors in the city was to run out of the city desperately. If they could escape, they would probably be able to survive. If they could not escape, they would be surrounded to death.

After calculating the distance, Iger stood firmly with his feet one after the other. He picked up the shotgun and aimed at his search area just now.

Soon, Iger found his target.

Through the scope of the shotgun, Iger keenly found that the sarcoma was a little different from yesterday. After careful observation and comparison, Iger found that only one day later, the sarcoid seemed to have grown in size.

Iger felt that something big was going to happen. The tens of thousands of infected people gathered here, obviously to protect the egg-shaped sarcoma. The infected people were just dead bodies, but the sarcoma was getting bigger.

What a fucking bullshit!

Could it be that a Queen of Blades is really going to be hatched?

In a daze, Iger saw some burrs or tentacles growing on the egg-shaped sarcoid through the scope, and they were swinging in the wind.

In order to collect more intelligence, Iger put down the shotgun, and he picked up the binoculars again.

There is only a very simple double mirror on the shotgun. After all, this gun is only used for hunting, not for killing enemies.

But the telescope is different. This is a zoomable 16x telescope for daytime observation, which has almost reached the limit of portable telescopes.

Iger rarely uses the 16x mirror mode, because it is very easy to lose the target and dizziness.

Iger first used the commonly used 4x mode to find the egg-shaped sarcoma, then held the telescope in one hand and started twisting the knob with the other.

The egg-shaped sarcoma was continuously magnified in the telescope. After Iger adjusted the magnification to the maximum, he began to make fine adjustments.

With the fine-tuning, the fuzzy egg-shaped sarcoma became clear in front of Iger's eyes, and now he saw clearly what the burr was.

It was a human arm.

That arm just grew out of the flesh, or in other words, its body has completely melted in, leaving only the arm exposed.

Later, Iger carefully identified other burrs, not only with arms, but also with legs.

This, what kind of monster is this!Stitches or Fusions? !

Iger thinks this is not a matter of stabbing, no matter what it is, Iger thinks killing it is a good choice.

Now Iger has the longest range and the most powerful shotgun, and there are tens of thousands of infected people in front of him. It is impossible for these infected people to let him slowly use a small shotgun to feed the sarcoma to death through saturation attack.

At present, there are two plans. One is to try the effect with a shotgun first, and then we can talk about whether it is OK or not.Or don't startle the enemy first, retreat quietly, and then find a way to look for it to see if you can find a more powerful weapon.

After thinking about it for a while, Iger decided to fire a few shots to see the effect.If this thing is really an egg that is hatching some monster, a bullet may not be able to kill it.

The egg is so big, if a needle pokes it in, it will turn into a rotten egg.

Iger put down the binoculars and picked up the shotgun.He didn't raise his gun to aim right away, but first calmed down and adjusted his breathing.

Three shots.

Iger set a small goal for himself.

When Iger raised the shotgun, the crosshair had almost shrunk into a solid body, and the hollow in the middle, the size of a needle eye, would not affect the hit.

Iger tensed his waist and feet, and then pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

Shooting from a standing position has a lot of recoil. If I hadn't been prepared, Iger might have been thrown to the ground by the gun.

After Iger stabilized his body, he didn't let the bullet fly for a while, and then fired a second shot.

"boom!"

The two gunshots had already alarmed the infected, and the infected who were facing all directions turned their heads in unison in an instant, and the two people in the carriage were horrified by this scene.

"boom!"

Iger seized the gap where the infected hadn't moved yet, and fired a third shot.

The effect of the attack has come out, and Iger saw a stream of liquid sprayed out of the sarcoma through the scope.

The kinetic energy of the standard bomb is very high. When its destructive force is fully released, it will enter a small hole, and then a huge cavity will be formed. The soft tissue in the cavity will be crushed under the action of the tumbling bullet and high-pressure air. Grind it into a pulp and squirt it through the bullet holes.

Just after the third shot was fired, Iger heard a scream like a choir in front of him. Listening to the sound, at least hundreds of screamers made screams at the same time.

Really exciting!
Without hesitation, Iger adjusted his posture slightly and fired the fourth shot.

The continuous shooting made Iger's stiff body no longer stable, and the crosshair of the fourth shot became particularly large, but Iger felt that the fourth shot also hit the target.

Inspired by the screaming sound, the phalanx of infected people instantly boiled up, and the infected people rushed towards him like a flood of gates.

"Egger!!" Joanna shouted from the cab.

"Okay!" Iger responded with a yell, and then he jumped off the roof of the pickup truck and landed in the compartment.

After hearing Iger's answer, Joanna started off smoothly, and then stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

"vomit!"

Iger looked down, and Nicholas rolled his eyes and vomited.

Nicholas was hit.

Thomas obviously didn't notice what was happening next to him. Thomas was lying in the car with his MP5 in his hand, gritted his teeth and endured a powerful mental shock: tens of thousands of infected people rushed towards him like a tsunami.

Just like what Nicholas and Thomas expected before, in such a terrible place, Iger will not make low-level mistakes

Iger and Joanna, who have faced the infected at close range many times, have accurately calculated the minimum safe distance for the pickup truck to start from a standstill and prevent the infected from touching it.

30 m.

Joanna even has the confidence to reduce this distance to 25 meters.

As long as it is above this safe distance, the infected person cannot touch the pickup truck even in the excited state.

With its strong power, the pickup truck easily escaped from the battle, leaving behind a group of frenzied infected people.

Sorry, you can do whatever you want with a car.

Toddow gas station.

The internal staff had started the tanker and was filling the fire engine with fuel. At this time, the pickup truck of the field team came back.

As soon as the pickup truck stopped, Joanna opened the door and almost fell from the cab of the pickup truck. Then she opened her mouth and vomited water.

"vomit~"

Iger was stunned when he saw Joanna squatting on the ground vomiting.

Don't get me wrong, Joanna's vomiting has nothing to do with Iger, she had a second blood plague attack.

The reason why Iger was confused was that he and Joanna were recruited on the same day, but he still remained immune.

In an instant, Iger understood that it was because of his special physique.

After Iger took off his portable water bottle, he opened the portable medicine bag again. He walked over and patted Joanna on the back, and handed her a pot of clean water and a tranquilizer.

Afterwards, Iger helped Joanna to the co-pilot and sat down, and then lowered the co-pilot to the lowest level.

As for Nicholas, Thomas helped to spread a layer of cushions in the carriage, and he lay down in the carriage to rest.

After Iger gave Nicholas a tranquilizer, he quickly walked towards Clyde.
