Chapter 599: Zombies Rampant
Faced with Yang Encai's injuries, Zhang Wufeng easily controlled it. Then, he looked at Han Lisa, then looked at the woman in the bathrobe, and then walked to the window without hesitation and jumped down from the balcony.

In a few flashes, Zhang Wufeng arrived at a road. There were not too many mutants and mutant beasts at this moment, with a probability of only about one percent, but this probability was not enough to withstand the large population of the entire city.

Originally, Zhang Wufeng planned to kill a few zombies and collect some brain cores for research, but at this moment he encountered a mutant who was over two meters tall and had a blue-black body.

This is a mutant of a woman. The rotten flesh has some white parasites crawling on it from time to time, which looks extremely disgusting.

With a movement of internal energy, the black ring in his hand was directly activated. Zhang Wufeng took out a long black iron sword that he had prepared long ago, raised his hand and stabbed it with the sword. The powerful internal energy instantly hit the neck of the strange beast. With a loud bang, the head of the mutant beast flew out like a ball, and then her body rushed forward for several meters before falling to the ground, with a black, smelly and sticky liquid flowing from her neck.

Zhang Wufeng frowned slightly, his figure flashed, and he landed beside the head of the strange beast, then stretched out his sword and slashed several times, and found a relatively weak brain core in the mutant's head.

Taking out the prepared plastic bag, Zhang Wufeng put the things in the plastic bag, then turned around and rushed towards the group of zombies not far away.

In just a few moments, Zhang Wufeng hunted down more than ten zombies and then collected their thirteen brain cores.

After slightly sensing the energy inside the brain core, Zhang Wufeng selected two light and milder brain cores, then returned to the room on the balcony and fed them directly to Yang Encai.

Next, he silently asked Han Lisha and the woman in the bathrobe to drink a cup of brain core essence each.

Zhang Wufeng did not say what these were, but when the two women saw that Yang Encai's injuries recovered quickly after drinking this thing, they knew that it was a good thing and drank it without hesitation.

In fact, even if we resist, how can we resist?
……

"Thank you so much, brother."

"fine."

"Here's the thing...Brother, I have to rush to join the brothers in the army. I have a cousin named Chen Peng...and some experts must enter the base. The more people there are, the safer it will be, so I have to go..."

Yang Encai was explaining, and Zhang Wufeng also knew that Yang Wubing had discovered the situation through the air quality test over there and had made immediate preparations. It was just that they arrived too quickly and many experts were unable to reach the base and were stranded on the road.

"Well, I'll take you there. Ning Xiner, you can go with them too."

"Um……"

……

"Boom boom boom~~~~"

A huge rumble broke the tranquility of the sky. A large transport helicopter hovered over an ore barge. The pilot looked anxiously at everything on the shore. Everything seemed so familiar, yet so strange. The beautiful home of the past seemed to be completely destroyed overnight, and replaced by a "hell on earth".

The air was filled with the smell of rotting corpses. The terrifying thing was that everything in the movie finally couldn't stand the loneliness and entered the real world.

"Sir, there are survivors!"

The sniper Xiao Leng's report interrupted the pilot Liu Yi's thoughts.

"where?"

Xiao Zhang pointed to the door of the barge's living quarters and saw eight men in blue overalls waving flashlights at the helicopter. Xiao Liu asked Commander Liu Yi, "What should we do?"

Liu Yi pondered for a moment and ordered, "Drop weapons and food. This ship is very safe. We need to search and rescue survivors who are in higher danger. We will drop supplies at designated locations later. This ship can be used as a temporary refuge for the survivors."

After he finished speaking, more than a dozen boxes were seen falling from the helicopter, and then the helicopter completely disappeared in the ghostly night, leaving more than a dozen wooden boxes and eight unlucky guys standing there stupidly.

“They’re gone, they’re gone”

Li Chaojun muttered to himself, and everyone's mood fell into despair again. When the hope of rescue vanished in an instant, one can imagine how people felt. Looking at the back of the helicopter disappearing in the dim sky, the air around them seemed to solidify, and it took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses.

Captain Chen Yu shouted: "What are you all standing there for? Stay alert. Bring me the flashlight. I'll go see what's inside the box."

Following the captain's roar, the team members finally came to their senses and ran to the box to stand guard.

"Oh my god, I'm going to get rich now!"

Chen Yu shouted happily, and everyone's eyes lit up when they took a closer look. After counting, there were 10 Type 95 rifles, 10 Type 92 pistols equipped with external systems, 2 Type 85 sniper rifles, 6 boxes of bullets, a box of grenades, 10 sets of combat uniforms, 2 boxes of compressed biscuits, a thermal imager, and exactly 8 night vision goggles.

Chen Yu said: "That's good. With these guys, we can fight our way out!"

After the weapons were distributed, each person received five rifle magazines, two pistols, two grenades, a night vision goggles, and a set of combat equipment, and immediately turned into a soldier.

As the fog in the sky cleared a little, the sky gradually became brighter.

"Hopefully the weather will be better later."

Li Chaojun, who was standing night guard, finally relaxed his tense nerves and talked to himself.

……

It has been four whole days, and there has been no sign of any rescue since the last time, not even a single survivor has been seen. Could it be that the tens of thousands of people in this large enterprise have all turned into zombies? The food is not enough, and at most it can barely sustain the rations for eight people for a week. After that, the situation is unimaginable. Captain Chen Yu worriedly called everyone to the conference room to discuss countermeasures. If they continue to stay on the ship, they will starve to death.

The pontoon is an unpowered ship, which is docked at the pier supported by anchor chains on the shore. A lift on the ship is connected to the shore for employees to get on and off the ship. The lift had already been raised, otherwise these people would not be called lucky ones.

"Let's discuss what to do."

Long Fuxing spoke first, "Take the food and fight your way out. Let's go home if we find a vehicle. Perhaps the plague only exists in Changshou Jiangnan. There should be troops stationed in the city, right?"

Tan Qingjun also shouted: "Let's go, we can't just sit there and wait for death, we have to go back to take care of our families. If Dadukou is also destroyed, we will go back. At least we still have a way to retreat. By the way, we can search for food and gasoline on the road. It would be best if we can find a generator to install on the boat..."

The vote was unanimous and everyone was in high spirits.

"However, there is still a lot of preparation work to be done. First, someone needs to go to the factory to get a car, preferably a large one. If that doesn't work, a truck will also do. And everyone must carry at least three days of rations and enough ammunition. Although Dadukou is 100 kilometers away from Changshou, we must be on the safe side. It's a matter of lives and we can't be careless..." Chen Yu reminded.

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yongchao shouted: "Leave the car to me, but I need an assistant. In case I don't have the key, I have to steal the car and guard against zombie attacks, unless my prostate grows bigger!" This sentence caused everyone to laugh.

"Stupid 13 is stupid 13. Grandpa will take you there. Just follow me closely on the road. I was born a scout. When I take action, I can be more than twice as good as him!" Long Fuxing also said with a smile.

"Okay, it's decided. Be careful on the road. If things really don't work, retreat first!"

Chen Yu said with concern, Long Fuxing and Liu Yongchao checked their equipment and jumped off the boat with a swagger.

There were not many zombies around. Perhaps because zombies didn't like sunlight, the two of them carefully avoided the zombies and tried their best not to make any noise, so as not to provoke a zombie in a corner to suddenly jump out and give them a surprise.

"Stop, see? That's the Heiger bus. It's right next to the gate." Liu Yongchao shouted excitedly.

"Meathead, hurry up and help your Dragon Lord take it down!"

Routou is Liu Yongchao's nickname, because he is a little fat and has a round head, which makes it look like he has a lot of fat on his head, so people with bad intentions use this nickname to jokingly call him.

Liu Yongchao rolled his eyes at Long Fuxing and said, "Be careful to cover me!" Then he approached the bus carefully. Not long after, he heard the engine start.

"Fuck, these two grandsons are so lucky!"

When Chen Yu saw the Heiger bus through the sniper camera, he was so happy that his sniper rifle almost fell into the river. "Finally, I can leave this crappy place!"

……

Everyone took off their marching backpacks that had been placed on the deck for a long time, quickly jumped onto the Haiger luxury bus, and quickly removed nearly half of the 40-seat seats. After placing them all in the barge warehouse, they leisurely got on the bus and began to prepare to return to Dadukou.

"Ah...um..."

Amid a sound similar to the mooing of a cow, someone finally noticed something was wrong and started the car quickly. The zombies must have heard the sound of the car and had followed it to the dock. Liu Yongchao released the clutch and stepped hard on the accelerator, and the bus drove away, kicking up a pile of dust.

The highway was dead silent, with abandoned cars everywhere after car accidents. The speed had to be slowed down to 40. From time to time, zombies howled and pounced on the cars, leaving a pool of meat paste. Everyone looked out the window at the same time. Except for the 8 people in the car, no survivors were found. There was a mixture of relief and helplessness.

……

In the morning, when Chen Peng put on his sportswear and went out for a run, he was breathing the somewhat turbid air and enjoying the rare tranquility in the city, but he was attracted by a taxi parked on the side of the road.

The door of the driver's cab was open, the car was in a mess and covered in blood. As a former professional soldier, he realized the seriousness of the incident and found a hidden corner to observe the situation at the scene. However, what happened next puzzled Chen Peng - two pairs of bloody footprints. What was even more inexplicable was that one pair of bloody footprints should be the victim who fell in a pool of blood and then stood up and slowly followed the bloody footprints into the woods next to him. Could it be that in a state of severe coma and excessive blood loss, he still staggered to seek revenge on the murderer?

Chen Peng wanted to call the police but realized he didn’t have his cell phone with him.

This is an outer ring road that was built not long ago, so the traffic volume is not heavy. However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, no car passed by. It was really strange. Chen Peng left the crime scene, found the IC telephone booth, and dialed 110 several times, but the message kept saying that the network was busy. He continued to dial but the network still could not be connected. Could it be such a coincidence?
Chen Peng returned to the crime scene and followed the footprints quietly until he reached the depths of the woods. A strong stench came over him. Suddenly, he saw two ragged men covered in blood with their backs to him, standing there motionless. Chen Peng felt a little creepy. Could it be that he saw a ghost so early in the morning? He called out tentatively, and the two men turned their heads at the same time. Chen Peng was immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He saw that one man had half of his skull exposed, and there were maggots crawling in his eyes. The other man had blood all over his face and his nose was bitten off. He walked towards Chen Peng like a child learning to walk. At this time, Chen Peng seemed to wake up and started running wildly.

I ran back home in one breath, grabbed my phone and dialed 110, but it showed that there was no signal connection!

An unstoppable premonition came over him, maybe something big was going to happen. After turning on the TV, Chen Peng was stunned. All the channels were showing the same program, and the announcer was repeating one thing: "Please note, citizens, a large-scale unknown 'plague' has occurred in most cities across the country. Those infected with the plague will lose their minds, mutate, and eat living people. Citizens, please keep your doors and windows closed and don't walk around casually. If you encounter a zombie, you must hit its head hard to kill it. If you are bitten, please isolate it quickly. It is currently estimated that the plague is directly contagious. The government is about to send troops to take over the plague area. I believe the epidemic will be under control soon. Please don't panic..."

Chen Peng quickly called his cousin Chen Yu, whom he hadn't contacted for two months, but found that the phone was basically out of function, which made him even more uneasy.

Chen Peng immediately put on the combat uniform he brought back from the army, put on a military dagger, took his credit card, and rushed to Yonghui Supermarket as fast as possible.

In a person's life, there is love, dignity, and career, but when it comes to the most primitive issue of survival, everything is insignificant. Survival? That is food and water.

The pedestrian street was no longer crowded with people. He quickly walked to the supermarket door, but found that the door was already locked. No one answered his calls, so Chen Peng did the first thing he felt sorry for after his retirement.

With the sound of breaking glass, Chen Peng had already stepped into the supermarket and was stuffing large and small bags of food into his backpack. In less than ten minutes, he had one cart full of 200 kilograms of rice and flour, another cart full of canned food, compressed biscuits and other fast foods, and there was also sugar and chocolate in his backpack.

He quickly rushed out of the supermarket, pushing the cart and ran quickly towards his elevator. The community was already empty. The living people on the high floors were standing on the balconies, anxiously looking at everything outside. He entered the elevator and pressed the number 28. The elevator began to ascend. Chen Peng leaned against the elevator wall and took a deep breath. When the number on the screen jumped to 25, he suddenly heard a scream outside. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that zombies had entered the corridor?
"Ding"

The number froze at 28. The elevator door slowly opened and a black shadow rushed over. In a flash, Chen Peng pushed out with both hands and then kicked the black shadow. The black shadow fell to the ground. Before the black shadow could get up, "Swoosh!" The carbon combat saber pierced directly into the zombie's brow. The zombie kept twitching on the ground. He took out the saber and walked into his room. Then he put all the food away. Chen Peng came to the elevator again. The zombie's body was still twitching. Chen Peng did not hesitate to stab it directly into its brain, instantly damaging the zombie's entire nervous system. The zombie immediately calmed down.

Chen Peng wrapped the zombies in plastic bags and threw them directly from the 28th floor. He also set up simple alarm devices at the elevator entrance and stairwell exit - he placed a used light bulb and several empty cans on an empty mineral water bottle. He also wrote slogans in the elevator and at the corridor entrance saying "Room ##, there is a living person inside" before leaving with peace of mind.

……

Late one night, an emergency assembly whistle was sounded in a military camp of a certain unit in Qing'an. The soldiers hurriedly put on camouflage uniforms, packed their backpacks, and ran to the training ground.

A regimental commander who was about 40 years old had been waiting at the training ground and began to mobilize the soldiers with a serious expression.

The regiment commander calmly said to the soldiers: "Soldiers, now I can tell you seriously that you will face the most difficult hurdle in your life. This mission is extremely difficult. You can only raise soldiers for a day and use them for a day. Now the motherland needs us, and the people need us. I only ask you one question: Do you dare to sacrifice your young lives for a noble cause?"

"dare!"

The majestic roar resounded through the sky. This was the cry from the soul of the young and vigorous army!

The regiment commander continued, "We have just received an urgent order from the military. The entire regiment will be dispatched in one hour. The mission will be specifically assigned by your company commander. Soldiers, I have one last piece of advice for you. Please forget everything about you, including your parents. Please remember that your lives no longer belong to you. From this moment on, your lives have truly been given to the motherland!"

"Fight!" The warriors' majestic roar resounded through the sky again.

"First Company, assemble. Now let's assign the mission. Jiangnan Town in CS District was shrouded by an unknown plague a month ago. Basically, 99% of the civilians have died and turned into zombies and mutants. The entire CS District has fallen, and a large amount of the virus has spread to the urban area. The mission of the first company is to clear all the zombies on the Outer Ring Expressway, cover the engineering corps to restore traffic on the Outer Ring Expressway, and then arrive at the CS District in platoons on troop carriers. Kill any zombies you encounter. When you arrive at the CS District, select personnel from the entire company to form a reconnaissance squad to go deep into the epidemic area to search for survivors and check the epidemic situation!"

At this moment, there was a slight commotion in the crowd. Everyone could not believe their ears. A story that only happened in science fiction movies actually became a reality!

"Quiet, now everyone, please be quiet. I know you all find it incredible. Yes, I feel the same as you do. However, as soldiers, our mission is to obey, absolutely obey. Even if you are asked to go through fire and water, you must not blink an eye. Remember?"

Company commander Liang Chenglong said calmly!

"Yes, sir!" the soldiers responded loudly!

Liang Chenglong looked at his watch and said, "It's 6:30 now. We'll be waiting for the car to depart at 7 o'clock. Please go to the armory to collect your equipment. Please write your will and give it to the logistics staff for safekeeping. Now, dismiss!"

……

Chen Yu and his eight companions were driving along the highway and should have encountered this army soon. However, something was fishy, ​​because if they continued driving, they would have been rescued by the army in less than an hour. However, at this time, Haiger's luxury bus not only stalled for no reason, but also had a flat tire, which naturally attracted countless zombies.

"Help repair the bus"

Under the command of Chen Yu, a group of eight people formed an assault formation and cut a hole in the closing zombie encirclement, and the eight people then fled.

"There are no zombies behind!"

Mali said, breathing heavily.

"Rest where you are and stay alert!"

As Chen Yu spoke, he ran to a small hill to look at the terrain.

After a half-hour break, Chen Yu pointed to a three-story building 2 kilometers away and said, "Let's go. I see lights in that building. There must be people living in the house. Let's charge our phone while we're there. We can use it as a watch if there's no signal."

The group took small steps and slowly moved towards the house. They didn't find a single zombie around. Perhaps it was because the remote rural area was sparsely populated. The group arrived at the bottom of the building smoothly. The doors and windows were tightly locked. The lights on the third floor were still on, but no one responded no matter how they shouted downstairs.

"We have to climb up. If we break in through the door it will be very dangerous if there are zombies at night." Liang Yuanyou said and started to climb up, followed by Ma Li.

"Bang!" The window on the third floor was broken, and the two people successfully entered the house. This was a three-story small building built by a farmer's family. There were a lot of sundries on the first floor, a lot of daily necessities on the second floor, and the third floor was like an attic. After entering the door, the two began to search the entire house. After a while, the door opened. The other six people entered the house and immediately felt a sense of security. Suddenly, a series of gunshots came from the third floor.

"There's something wrong in the house, hurry up and take a look!"

As Long Fuxing said this, he rushed up and saw a female zombie lying next to the closet on the third floor. Liang Yuanyou was sitting on the ground dying, with his carotid artery bitten off.

"what--"

After Mali screamed, there was a sudden sound of gunfire in the house. The zombies on the ground bit through Mali's military leather boots, and then the zombies turned into a hornet's nest. Turning around, they found that Liang Yuanyou had died. With tears in their eyes, everyone buried Liang Yuanyou on the small hill opposite, and then conducted a thorough search of the entire building and burned the zombie bodies.

Mali boiled a kettle of water and cleaned the wound on his foot, and disinfected the bitten area with alcohol. The strange thing was that he did not feel any pain after pouring the alcohol on the wound, but just felt itchy, an indescribable itch, so he did not pay attention to it for a while.

Chen Yu and others charged their mobile phones and used a landline to call the police, but the prompt tone was always "The network is busy, please call again later."

Chen Yu then called his cousin Chen Peng's landline. The call went through, but it just kept beeping and no one answered. Chen Yu thought to himself that he was in a bad mood.

"It's impossible that even my cousin died, no way, absolutely not!"

Chen Peng is Chen Yu's cousin. They were originally a happy family. Both parents were martial arts coaches. However, during a New Year's party, the house caught fire and the whole family was unfortunately killed. Only 16-year-old Chen Peng and 10-year-old Chen Yu were left. From then on, the two were taken to an orphanage. Two years later, Chen Peng went to Huaizhou to serve in the army. Due to his good physique since childhood, Chen Peng was selected as a special reconnaissance soldier one year after joining the army, and joined the Volunteer Army after two years of service, which is now called a non-commissioned officer.

After Chen Yu turned 18, he also joined the army and was assigned to the Huaizhou Military Region. He entered the reconnaissance unit of the military region and met his comrade-in-arms Long Fuxing. In fact, the three of them were in the same military branch.

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone was connected.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, where are you? There are zombies everywhere outside. Are you okay?"

Chen Peng asked anxiously.

"Brother, don't worry. I'm safe now in an abandoned building. What's the situation in Dadukou? I'm on my way back, but my car broke down on the road. Now I can only walk. I hope I can find a car on the road!" Chen Yu replied.

Chen Peng: "Where are you now?"

Chen Yu: "I am currently in Changsheng, about 60 kilometers away from Dadukou. I have seven people with me, and we have Type 95 assault rifles, Type 92 pistols, grenades and so on. Wait for me at home, and I will call you when I get to Dadukou!"

Chen Peng: "How did you get a weapon?"

Chen Yu: "It's a long story. I'll talk to you when I get home. Be safe at home and wait for me to come back."

Chen Peng: "Xiaoyu, don't get bitten by zombies. If you get bitten, you will be infected and turn into a zombie. If you encounter a zombie, you must blow its head off, otherwise the zombie will not die!"

"Okay, I got it, brother. Wait until I come back. It's my turn to be on guard then. You go to sleep first!"

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Suddenly, Chen Yu realized something. He turned on the safety and woke everyone up quietly except Ma Li. After explaining the reason to everyone, everyone nodded in agreement.

Chen Yu came to Mali's bed alone, observing Mali quietly. Looking at Mali's pale face covered with sweat, Chen Yu sighed softly, and sat silently beside Mali with a pistol in his hand. He wanted to accompany Mali through the last moment of his life.

Suddenly, Mali's arm twitched twice, then he slowly sat up and began to rot rapidly.

Chen Yu aimed his gun quietly at Ma Li's head.

"Bam—"

The gun went off, and teammates, brothers, fell down.
