The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 184 Fighting the Sound Followers Again

Outside the ruins of a certain college in the radiation zone.

The two teams of Jesus and Michonne were carrying out their missions with dozens of soldiers from the Death Corps.

But this time, they did not rush directly into the main building like the last time they went to the hospital. Instead, they found a defensive building in advance, which seemed to be an indoor gymnasium.

Then, after clearing the monsters in the gymnasium, a simple defensive position was built with the help of tables, chairs, benches, wooden fences and other debris inside.

After suffering a loss from the Sound Followers, they could no longer face those terrifying monsters like waves unprepared.

Soon, after the defense line was established, the combat engineers in the team also opened the box behind them and released the reconnaissance drone inside.

I am going to control this little thing and go to other buildings to help them explore the reality here and see what kind of monsters are there, so that I can prepare in advance.

According to the past map of America, this is a private high school located in the suburbs. The area is not large. There are two main teaching buildings. It is also equipped with a gymnasium, canteen, swimming pool and a two-story teacher's office building.

According to Captain Jesus' suggestion, the combat engineers controlled the reconnaissance drones and started investigating small buildings first. Through the projectors they carried, everyone could see that although there were not many monsters outdoors in the college, each building There are many monsters hidden inside.

There are mutated moles hiding in the cafeteria, mutated killer bees, mutated wild boars hiding in the teacher's office and building their nests, and even a mutated toad with six legs and a fiery red body that can explode was found in the swimming pool.

However, for the sake of safety, Jesus and others did not alert these monsters. Instead, they quietly took back the reconnaissance drone and flew towards one of the main teaching buildings, which was the largest and most suitable for hiding.

After all, their mission is not to kill all the monsters in the radiation zone, but to detect as much information as possible and find intelligent monsters that can command mutant zombies.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the reconnaissance drone flew into a classroom on the second floor of the teaching building through a broken window, it was attacked by a monster that had been lurking on the ceiling, and was destroyed in an instant.

Judging from the pictures taken before the reconnaissance drone was destroyed, it should have been attacked by a relatively large hunter-type zombie with very sharp claws that could even penetrate the drone's iron defense.

And his body shape is also very special, almost growing from a monkey-sized monster to a thin man, which is quite rare and a bit suspicious.

However, due to supply difficulties, the team this time only carried two reconnaissance drones. Now one has been destroyed. If we continue to send drones into this teaching building, it is very likely that there will be no more reconnaissance drones. Opportunity.

After a brief discussion, although the situation in the teaching building just now was suspicious, for the sake of safety and for the sake of the overall situation, Jesus and Michonne decided to send out the remaining reconnaissance drone. Go to another teaching building to scout for information and confirm the situation inside, then deal with the monsters in this teaching building.

After all, if there are many Sound Followers lurking in this teaching building, the noise they make while fighting in another teaching building is likely to attract the attention of the Sound Followers.

If you are attacked from both sides by then, you may be in danger of being wiped out.

Just do what you want, and under the control of a combat engineer, the second reconnaissance drone entered the teaching building along a broken window.

This time, as soon as they entered the teaching building, Jesus and others discovered something unusual.

Due to the impact of large-scale nuclear explosions, the climate in the radiation zone is unstable, but due to the radiation dust, the overall environment is basically maintained at a low temperature and humid. And inside this teaching building, I don’t know whether it is due to earthquakes or other reasons. In the hall on the ground floor A large gap opened up, and the gap seemed to extend into the underground river.

Living water continued to gush out from the cracks, forming a large pool of water in the lobby of the teaching building. Many vine spore plants extended from the water accumulation to various parts of the teaching building, and many walls Mushroom-like fungi are wrapped around the seams on the ground and the guardrails.

Just seeing this scene and seeing these spore plants, everyone couldn't help but think of the difficult battle in the hospital last time. Needless to say, there must be many Sound Followers lurking here.

Jesus, Michonne and others were silent for a few seconds. Michonne, the knife girl, was the first to speak:
"Don't take chances. Let's clear out the Sound Followers first. Otherwise, when we fight other monsters, we may be attacked by these guys."

Jesus also let out a breath, turned to Gil in the team and said:

"Since there are sound followers here, let's set up some traps. It just so happens that we have brought new tools this time. Let's test whether the new equipment sent by His Excellency the President works well."

Everyone's mood is a little heavy, not because they are afraid or shrinking, but because they need to face a strong enemy and are very likely to be hurt.

No one is really not afraid of death or pain. Those real warriors only rely on their own will to suppress mental and physical pain.

Half an hour later, after Jesus and others completed their preparations for the battle, the strong Chris walked out of the gym door and walked to the corridor outside carrying a metal-cased box.

It was a device similar in shape to a speaker, all black, with a solid battery on one side and two speakers on the other.

He pointed the speaker side of the speaker at the teaching building where the Sound Follower was hidden, and confirmed on the communication channel. After his companions were ready for battle, he quickly pressed the start button of the speaker.

For a moment, although there was no sound coming from the speaker, Chris faintly noticed that something was spreading out from the speaker. It was ultrasonic waves that human ears could not receive.

However, there was no time for him to think about these things. Almost as soon as the sound was turned on, a commotion immediately broke out in the teaching building about 200 meters away from the sound position, and a loud and piercing roar came from there. .

Chris suppressed the fear in his heart and waited by the speaker for about ten seconds until he saw several ferocious-looking Sound Followers rushing out of the teaching building from windows, doors and different locations, heading towards where he was. After rushing towards the place, he picked up the metal speaker and ran towards the stadium.

At the same time, he did not forget to shout to his companions on the communication channel:
"The Sound Followers are here. They will arrive in 30 seconds. Be ready for battle."

In fact, needless to say, everyone who had set up a defensive line in the stadium had already seen the enemy's movements through the footage captured by the reconnaissance drone.

A steady stream of sound followers came out of the teaching building and followed the sound followers in front.

Their speed is very fast. Although they cannot reach the speed of the Olympic champion of about ten meters per second, they can reach six or seven meters per second without any problem.

These monsters, whose facial features were replaced by giant spore mushrooms except for their mouths, chased towards the location where Chris escaped while roaring wildly.

Dozens or hundreds of them were pouring out in a steady stream. Even if they jumped from a tall building and fell to the ground, they would only struggle for more than ten seconds before they got up and continued to pursue them as if nothing had happened.

They ran, roared, and soon gathered together, forming a huge wave of monsters. I am afraid that ordinary survivors would lose the courage to fight just by seeing them. It only took about half a minute to cover the distance of more than 200 meters. The first few Sound Followers that rushed out of the teaching building had already reached the gate of the gymnasium.

The door of the gymnasium consists of four small tempered glass doors. Only the middle two doors are open. The other two glass doors are sealed on the cement floor and are very solid.

But before the Sound Followers could rush over, they were already shot in the head by members of the Sting Team who had been watching the gym door for a long time.

Jesus was also holding a flamethrower, standing not far from the tempered glass door, and said to the team members:
"Don't panic, we are well prepared this time, and we won't be as embarrassed as last time."

Michonne on the other side also said to the Death Corps soldiers behind her:
"Soldiers, this time we only need to defend the gate well, save the fuel of the injectors, and attack intermittently in groups of four."

After instructing the soldiers of the Death Corps, she said to Clementine who was standing aside:

"This time, there is no need to let the armed giant rush ahead."

"However, if we encounter special circumstances, we may still need his help."

Clementine nodded slightly, and at the same time she held the assault rifle in her hand tighter. The danger she encountered in the last battle was still vivid in her mind. Although she was prepared this time, it was not necessarily foolproof.

Soon, after the first few sound trackers that rushed over were knocked down, within a few seconds, more than a dozen furious sound trackers rushed over from behind, and some of them followed the two open doors of the glass door. Rushed in, and the other ones stupidly crashed directly into the closed tempered glass. The huge impact made the tempered glass doors rattling, but they did not break.

The members of the Sting Team, including Clementine, had no intention of watching jokes. Almost as soon as they saw these Sound Followers, they pulled the trigger in unison and fired dozens or hundreds of rifle bullets. In an instant, the heads of these sound followers were blown open.

However, these monsters modified by fungal viruses can still survive even if their brains are destroyed. After struggling on the ground for a few seconds, they quickly joined the charging team, and their broken heads leaking green pus looked even more dangerous. fear.

Facing the surging tide, the battle instantly entered a fierce state. The rifles in the hands of Michonne and others had almost no time to rest. After firing one magazine, they immediately replaced it with another. Within ten seconds, the rifle exploded. into the brains of twenty or thirty sound followers.

However, no matter how superb their marksmanship is, it is difficult to withstand the raging offensive of the Sound Followers. As the Sound Followers who were knocked to the ground stood up again, the number of Sound Followers rushing into the gym soon rose to the top. Hundreds.

They continued to advance under gunfire, triggering more than a dozen pre-planted high-explosive mines in the middle, but the violent explosions still did not affect their wave-like speed. The former was blown to pieces, and the gap behind them was quickly destroyed. The sound tracker was filled.

However, their wave-like attacks were soon blocked by a barrier, which was a huge metal net woven with finger-thick steel cables. Every steel cable in all directions was fixed with steel cones. On the ground and walls, the size just covers the entrance to the gymnasium, and it is extremely strong.

Just like the fishing nets used for fishing, although the gaps between the metal nets are very large, enough for a basketball to pass through, it is more than enough to block the bodies of the Sound Followers.

Seeing that the metal net had increased the number to hundreds, the Sound Followers were blocking the gate of the stadium. Although the huge force made the metal net rattle, Jesus still couldn't help shouting excitedly:

"Great, this method is really good."

Without wasting any time, Jesus immediately raised the flamethrower in his hand and led the soldiers of the Death Corps, spraying blazing flames at the Sound Followers on the other side of the metal mesh like a barbecue.

The sound followers who were crowded together were immediately ignited by the flames. Their vegetative bodies were quite flammable items. The flames quickly spread to the rear along some of the sound followers on the innermost layer of the metal mesh. , in less than a few minutes, hundreds of Sound Followers were covered in flames.

The temperature at the gate of the gymnasium rose rapidly, and it didn't take long for it to exceed several hundred degrees. The soldiers of the Death Corps not far from them also felt the heat very quickly.

But this time, they also learned their lesson. Inside the metal armor, there was also a layer of insulating clothing that was urgently transported from the People's Federation base. Although it could not completely isolate the high temperature, it was still very uncomfortable, but it would never be the same as last time. , causing their bodies to be burned by the flames.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to replace the fuel and allow the muzzle to cool down, Jesus turned to the combat engineer and asked:

"How many more Sound Followers are there?"

The combat engineer shook his head with a solemn expression and said:

"There are still many followers pouring out from that teaching building. Counting those on the road and in sports management, the number is at least eight hundred."

After hearing this, Jesus gritted his teeth and looked at the sound followers who were still gathering on the metal net while they were still burning. He gritted his teeth and said to Chris:
"Open the big thing. Although this metal mesh is strong, there is a limit to the force it can withstand."

"If they push away the metal mesh, we will be in danger again."

Chris nodded and immediately carried out the captain's order without any hesitation.

He quit the fighting team, and as quickly as possible, he came to the back of the team to a huge stereo that was more than one meter high and looked like a small refrigerator, and pressed the switch button.

Just for a moment, although human ears cannot distinguish the frequency of ultrasonic waves, they can still clearly detect an invisible wave emanating from the huge speaker.

The sound followers who were dozens of meters away from the speakers felt as if their brains were penetrated by countless huge sounds in an instant. Their originally ferocious expressions became dull, and the roaring sounds in their mouths stopped in an instant.

Although their ugly heads could not show a confused expression, Jesus and others could still see that these sound seekers seemed to have lost the target of attack. They stood there blankly and allowed the flames to spread and engulf their bodies. The body ignites.

However, these sound followers are not completely without intelligence. At least those whose bodies are ignited and their whole bodies are covered in flames will still roar in pain. Although they still will not flinch, at least they can feel the approach of death.

The ensuing battle was smoother than expected. By turning on and off this super-powerful ultrasonic device, they even divided the sound trackers into several waves to destroy them. They did not need to dispatch Clementine's armed giant Tom to clear the all the followers.

While Jesus was cheering for everyone’s victory, he couldn’t help but feel proud of the creativity of the People’s League.

Just because of a setback and the discovery of a new enemy, the experts and professors of the Human League organization can find their weaknesses based on the enemy's intelligence and create weapons to restrain them.

It can only be said that it is precisely because of the support of a reliable organization that the great cause of human rejuvenation can gradually grow like this.
