The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 175: Intelligent Zombie
Without sunlight, the light in the building is very dim, which is basically equivalent to blindness to ordinary people's eyes.

However, the Guardian armor is equipped with a night vision system, and the dark environment has no effect on Jesus, Michonne and others.

In order to cope with the coming battle, everyone can be said to have gone all out. Not only did they spray a layer of corpse odor spray on their bodies, which can block the smell, a strength potion that enhances strength, and a hunter potion that enhances reaction speed, but also After being injured, the recovery potions that can quickly treat the injury are all accurate.

Although everyone looks the same on the surface, under the influence of the medicine, their physical functions have surpassed that of ordinary people, almost reaching the level of top athletes.

Coupled with the top equipment and weapons, this is the foundation of the Stinger Team's powerful combat effectiveness.

Although this state will not last long, within a short period of time, each of them can be regarded as an ace special forces soldier.

Sneaking carefully and slowly in the building, everyone soon discovered traces of the monster.

In the spacious building in Zhejiang, there are many mutant zombies hidden on the ceiling, on the walls, in closed corners, in bright or dark places.

And unlike the aimless and wandering zombies outside, these mutated zombies seemed to have fallen into some kind of dormancy, staying motionless in their hidden positions, with no heartbeat or breathing, as if they were a piece of cold stone.

This phenomenon was very rare, beyond everyone's expectation, and made everyone's hearts tremble.

Abnormalities must have monsters, and the unknown is often more dangerous than it appears.

Moreover, these zombies are not only dormant. Jesus is keenly aware that their bodies are showing a light green fluorescence. In the thermal energy sensing system attached to their helmets, a large number of hyphae that resemble human veins cover the zombies. their bodies.

Eventually, a complex network formed in the brains of these zombies.

Although their appearance has not changed much from the zombies they encountered before, it is obvious that they have become two completely different monsters. I just don't know what has happened to the abilities of these monsters?
Jesus informed everyone of his discovery using the silent communication system in his armor.

However, after a brief discussion, they decided to continue to implement the frontal breakthrough battle plan out of confidence in the defensive power of the Guardian's armor.

Stopping and stopping along the way, Jill, Chris and other team members who had learned explosives skills in the academy for a few days quietly installed explosive bombs at key locations.

Once the two sides start fighting, these high-explosive bombs can cause huge damage to these zombies in an instant.

But as they went deeper, they discovered more and more monsters. On the first floor alone, they found almost a hundred mutant zombies. Although most of them were hunter types that were easier to deal with, if they If they attack together, it will obviously be very difficult.

According to the situation here, the monsters that sneak attack the transport team are most likely these mutant zombies.

Although everyone was very cautious, everyone obviously underestimated the cunning of these monsters. Just when they thought that all the monsters in the building were dormant, they could go straight into their core and directly capture the mastermind behind the scenes.

He just accidentally opened the door of a room.

Unexpectedly, a fat zombie with mycelium covering its whole body was lying in wait behind the door.

His extremely swollen belly, scarlet eyes, and ugly face that was so swollen that it was almost deformed all showed that he was a powerful explosive zombie.

Without words, with a loud sound like a high-explosive grenade, the filthy flesh and blood exploded like a bomb, and the bone fragments in the body shot out like a fragmentation grenade.

Walking at the front of the team, Jesus and the strong man behind him, Chris, bore the brunt.

The huge impact threw them violently, as if they were hit head-on by a truck. Their feet lifted off the ground, and they hit the other team members behind him hard.

Fortunately, the defensive power of the guardian armor was truly amazing, and the special spider silk protected their internal organs. The two of them were not fatally injured. The second before he fainted, Jesus couldn't help but curse in his mind:
"Damn it, did the thermal imaging sensor fail? Why didn't this exploding zombie be detected?"

In an instant, everyone in the Sting Team was thrown off their feet, and the entire building felt like a hornet's nest had been stabbed.

The darkness around Michonne and the others seemed to have life, and countless chaotic roars came from all directions.

After Jesus fell into a coma, the command of the team naturally fell to Michonne.

The powerful sword girl stood up as soon as she straightened up. She glanced at the unconscious Jesus and the two, and said to the others with a heavy face:

"Quick, detonate the bomb."

"With the two of them on our backs, we must find a terrain suitable for defense without being surrounded by so many monsters."

Upon hearing this, Jill immediately pressed the button of the detonator, and two strong male team members also consciously carried Jesus and Chris on their backs.

Without any hesitation or delay, everyone's attention was raised to the highest level.

Amidst the continuous roars of explosions, roars, and the footsteps of unknown mutated zombies.

Michonne and his party quickly determined a direction, observing the surrounding environment while slowly retreating.

Finally, he retreated to a hidden room with only one door and window, and quickly used the old sofas, tables and chairs inside to build a simple defensive position.

The mutated zombies in the building reacted very quickly, not giving them much time. As if under the command of some kind of force, they quickly found their hiding place.

Amidst the heavy footsteps, three tank-shaped zombies, who were as tall as little giants, appeared in front of the members of the Sting Team.

As soon as these three giants appeared, there were some exclamations in the team. Everyone was very surprised. Gil couldn't help but said:

"What's going on, have these zombies learned to use shields?"

The three tank-type zombies that appeared in front of them were completely different from those they had encountered before.

In front of the deformed arms they used to protect their heads was an irregular steel plate that was removed from an unknown machine.

Judging from the craters and bullet holes above, it can be imagined that this is not the first time they have fought with humans.

And these three tank-type zombies were also very smart. They did not enter the room directly through the door that could only allow one zombie to pass through.

Instead, he protected his head with a steel plate and stopped outside the room.

The ugly face stared at the people inside through the wooden window, as if staring at a few fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered by a butcher to prevent them from escaping.

The two sides faced each other through the window. After a brief silence, Michonne and others heard another heavy footsteps.

However, due to the visual field conditions in the room, they could not see the situation outside, but they could guess that there must be some zombies approaching their room.

Just when one of the team members, under Michonne's instruction, wanted to get closer to the window to observe the intelligence outside.

Two huge explosions suddenly sounded very close to them.

Bang!Bang!
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and soil and sawdust flew.In the room where the Sting Team was guarding, two huge gaps were opened in the walls at both ends of the room by the exploding zombies.

The two explosions were like a clarion call to launch an attack. The three tank-shaped zombies standing outside the room also had bulging muscles. They took heavy steps and began to charge fiercely towards the window. .

The huge size, huge strength, and solid steel made everyone in the room feel the vibrations of the ground.

Not only that, at the same time, some agile hunter zombies also began to crawl into the holes at both ends of the room.

After they entered the room, they immediately climbed onto the walls and ceiling from all directions, and then attacked everyone from those hidden corners.

Being surrounded by enemies on three sides and having to take care of two unconscious companions, even Michonne felt the pressure in an instant.

But the soldiers of the People's Federation were not afraid of fighting. In just a moment, Michonne roared angrily, and together with the other team members, the guns in their hands began to roar violently.

Although the situation was urgent, they did not have any fear, and the rhythm of the battle was still orderly. Gill and the others, who had the best marksmanship, picked up assault rifles capable of continuous shooting and aimed at the holes at both ends of the room and shot continuously, killing those who escaped from the hole. Kill the hunter zombies crawling in one by one.

Even when faced with their close attacks, he would draw out his cold weapons and chop off their heads directly.

Michonne and the other two strong men decisively picked up the grenade guns, aimed at the tank-shaped zombies charging towards them, and fired several grenades in succession.

Everyone in the Sting Team was very skilled in marksmanship, and the impact of the grenade explosion successfully blocked the charging speed of the tank-type zombies.

However, the steel plates erected on their chests also protected their bodies, and they did not suffer much damage from the explosion.

Under the powerful impact of the three tank-shaped zombies, the wooden windows and the sills under the windows seemed to have been hit by a speeding train. Glass and sawdust flew, and the cement and bricks were cracked and pushed down. Michonne was knocked down. A huge gap opened in front of En and others.

But everyone in the Sting Team was not unprepared. After the three tank-type zombies rushed into the room, with Michonne yelling "Get down", several high-explosive mines installed near the window sill were destroyed. Triggered successfully.

The three tank-type zombies were immediately enveloped in fierce flames from bottom to top. Their thick thighs were blown apart and flew away from their bodies. Their strong bodies fell directly to the ground, turning into cripples that could only squirm.

The power of high-explosive landmines is very powerful. Many debris on the ground flew randomly under the influence of the impact. The thin air waves knocked down many hunting zombies, and also caused Michonne and others to be hit by stones. Very painful.

Fortunately, the defensive power of the guardian armor was astonishing. Gil and the others only had a few seconds to suppress their negative emotions, picked up their weapons again, and continued fighting.

The tank-type zombies that fell to the ground and the hunter-type zombies that were knocked to the ground were shot very professionally, completely ending their lives.

But it is obvious that these three tank-type zombies are the most elite human shields among these mutant zombies. After losing the three of them, although the gap around the room has been expanded, there are more and more mutant zombies, and even hunters. The zombies sneak-attacked Michonne and others from two floors above and along the windows from behind.

However, with the advantages of equipment and the team members' physical fitness far exceeding ordinary people, these mutant zombies can only cause them trouble, but cannot really harm their bodies such as armor.

Ten minutes later, when Michonne and others had almost killed hundreds of mutated zombies and their physical strength was severely depleted, a strange roar suddenly sounded in the building.

After hearing this weird roar, the mutated zombies that had not yet entered the battle and were guarding around the room began to retreat quickly and orderly as if they had heard the command from the commander.

The mutated zombies that had joined the battle became even crazier in an instant, directly entangled with Michonne and others, and fought until the last moment.

When the battle was over and Michonne and the others were panting heavily and trying to continue looking for the mutated zombies, they found nothing but a large number of zombie corpses in the entire building.

Well, it was not without gain. When Michonne and others searched the entire building, they were in a room on the top floor, in a room full of corpses, skeletons and severed limbs.

They found five survivors who were in a trance and on the verge of collapse. After identification by old hunter Rosse, three of the five survivors were members of the transport team.

As for the fate of the others, looking at the eaten corpses in that room with only bones left, the results are self-evident.

"Captain Michonne, what's next?"

"Are you going to continue tracking those escaping mutated zombies?"

Jill held the helmet with one hand, her eyes gleaming, sweat flowing down her black hair and on her pretty face.

The battle just now was one of the most thrilling in her fighting career.

No one expected that these mutated zombies could cooperate with each other in an orderly manner like an army and go into battle according to different functions.

Thanks to the shelter of the room, they can avoid being attacked from all directions and avoid the siege of those corrupters.

If these zombies were faced by a team of ordinary survivors, it would be hard to imagine how those ordinary people who would die at the first touch could survive.

Michonne's body was soaked with sweat. One of the two samurai swords she carried was broken, and the other one was also completely corroded by the Corruptor's bile.

After hearing Gil's question, Michonne, as the captain, hesitated for a few seconds, but decided to terminate the mission.

"The mission is suspended. We must first escort the wounded back to the base to ensure their safety, and then wait for the order from His Excellency the President."

Whether it is out of responsibility for subordinates or an order from His Excellency the President, life safety has always been one of the top priorities in the Awami League and the Stinger Squad.

What's more, this is a special situation where the information is completely unknown. Even if they desperately search for the possible intelligent zombie, they may not be able to get results.

Although there was some regret for Michonne's order, no one objected.

Half an hour later, Michonne and his team got on the truck back to the stronghold, taking along the two unconscious members of the team and the five survivors who were unconscious and in need of care.

However, whether it was Michonne, Jill, or other team members, they were all quite depressed.

The purpose of their trip was to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of the transport team. Although based on the information currently obtained, it can be inferred to a certain extent that intelligent zombies who can command zombies and even mutant zombies were born among the zombies.

However, speculation is just speculation after all. Without substantial evidence, this mission cannot be considered a success.

As a member of the Stinger Squad who is extremely honorable, this is already quite a setback.

But it was not without gain. With this encounter and psychological preparation, the next time they faced mutated zombies, they would no longer treat these monsters as stupid animals.

The next time they face him, they will be prepared in advance to catch the guy hiding behind them.

After all, compared to intelligence, conspiracy, cunning and cunning, can these monsters still compare to humans?

When the sky fell into darkness, Michonne and others caused a small sensation when they brought the survivors back to the Virginia stronghold.
