Not far away, the sea of flames ignited by Li Shuo was still surging. He clearly knew that Xia Yinan was approaching, so he took the time to glance in his direction.
Xia Yinan's face was expressionless, and his actions became more and more swift.
Without thinking or experiencing, violence is less alluring.The black lines kept breaking out from his hand, twisting out sharp traces, strange like a poisonous snake in the air, chasing the enemy's figure, and condensed into a solid body at the moment of contact, turning into a sharp blade, piercing through the flesh .
Compared with the last time, these predators are simply a group of rabble.
In other words, the group of people last time were abnormal.Generally speaking, these robbers are small group activities without sophisticated tactics and strategies, and they are still synonymous with infighting and murder.
In this battle, what they actually have is the advantage brought by sneak attacks and numbers.Before Li Shuo led those people, he had survived the most dangerous beginning.When Xia Yinan's support team arrived in time, the predator was even more vulnerable.
Some of them fled in a hurry, some were killed directly, some were captured, given anesthesia injections, tied up and thrown on the off-road vehicle.
People around are still busy, moving the wounded, prisoners of war and captured equipment to the car.The night was coming, the sky and the earth became dark at a visible speed, and the infected people around became frenzied.They were still far from the barricade and time was running out.
Not long after, the last rays of the setting sun were swallowed by the distant mountains to the west of the city, Xia Yinan stood alone among the ruins, breathing slowly and calmly.
How did they sneak attack?
It stands to reason that they have absolutely no idea of the station's plans.Li Shuo and the others have vehicles, which are very mobile, and they have no reason to procrastinate.If the marauders happen to come across, there is no time to set up an ambush.
The communication facilities at the station are also of military grade, so it is almost impossible to be tapped.
So what is the problem?Have an overlooked loophole in the station's system?Is it a crooked attack, and the predators didn't mean them?Or is there a traitor?
If it is a traitor, then the situation is even more incomprehensible.First of all, Li Shuo and the others did not collect precious materials, but took resident files, something that was not helpful for survival.Secondly, looking at the configuration of this team a little bit, no one should dare to attack rashly.
Unless they know the importance of the files, they are ready to take risks in order to threaten them in exchange for more benefits.
In any case, he can't draw a conclusion now, and can only hope that the few captured people will speak.
Li Shuo was calling him from a distance, and the people around him also moved to the vehicle.Xia Yinan walked over, got into the car, and the street flashed before his eyes.
It was too far away from the roadblock area, and the city finally showed its ferocious appearance. Soon green eyes were everywhere, and in the stagnant eyes, there was an extreme madness hidden, and pus flowed out from the eye sockets from time to time.
No one dared to relax their vigilance, any faint roar was a hidden danger.
Those zombies who just blindly chase are inferior to high-level infected people with hunting instincts.They know how to hide, have enough patience, and only kill when it is most appropriate.
Unlike ordinary infected people, high-level infected people must replenish energy to survive, otherwise they will completely rot sooner or later.They usually kill the infected, but in any case, humans are the best choice.
Professor Xia once studied a high-level infected person who had just devoured human beings - this fierce beast happily swallowed an accidental research assistant in one gulp that day.
The sharp teeth of the giant jaw infection were extremely developed, and the assistant was bitten a few times before being swallowed, and it was hopeless.At that time, the laboratory was divided into three groups. The first group was screaming and calling for help, the second group was rushing to record the instrument values and observing the changes of the infected people, and the third group was recording while screaming.
But anyway, the research has progressed in the end.After the giant jaw infected person devours the living body, the whole body value is constantly changing, the epidermis is cracked, and the effect similar to moulting occurs after a few hours.
Nearly twenty hours later, the mutation stopped and the situation stabilized.Its skin is thickened, its sharp teeth are more prominent, and its bite force is greatly increased.
Later, there were several instances where high-level infected people had become even stronger when they met again after devouring humans and fleeing.
They rely on humans and are constantly evolving.Therefore, humans are worthy of hunting for them at any time.
The modified off-road vehicle is fast, leaving most of the infected behind.Li Shuo suffered some injuries, but because it was inconvenient to take off the exoskeleton for the time being, he could only get a few injections on his arm first, and then poured the medicine on the wound.
The car smelled of blood, mixed with the smell of potions.After a few days away, Li Shuo was probably really tired, so he didn't say a few words to Xia Yinan.
This makes the smell even more unbearable.Xia Yinan rubbed his browbones, leaned his head on the back of the front chair, and tried his best to keep his mind on nothing - he soon realized that this was a wrong decision.
Although he was still wearing a half-covered combat helmet and the eyepiece had been put away, the streets were full of potholes, and the bumps from the off-road vehicle kept bumping his head.
Just as he was about to raise his head, he saw a hand stretched out, which happened to rest on the back of the chair in front of him.
"..." Xia Yinan was silent for a while, turned to look at Li Shuo, and said softly, "The armor on your hand is so thick, do you want to knock me to death?"
Li Shuo seemed to have just realized it, smiled, and retracted his hand.
His complexion was a little paler than usual, probably due to fatigue and injuries.My head is not sober anymore, and I can even do such low-level things.
Xia Yinan only glanced at it, then turned his head to observe the dark street carefully.
There are more and more infected people following, and ultraviolet lamps are installed on all four sides of the off-road vehicle, slightly illuminating the ground.The infected were irradiated, and most became sluggish, unable to keep up with the speed of the vehicle.
The vehicles that lead the way use ultraviolet rays to drive away those who block the road, and at the same time illuminate the road ahead with headlights.In the dark night, the convoy splits the dead city like a stream of light, the streets it passes are bright and dim, and it keeps moving forward with vitality.
When Xia Yinan saw the building moving away quickly, he thought of Baiqiang Hospital inexplicably.
At that time, he was in the ward, watching the buildings lined up outside through the small window.He seems to have been there for a long time, and it seems that he hasn't. The building is dark in the deepest night, and it is no different from the dilapidated building that flashed by now.
He was like this, while maintaining the vigilance that a soldier should have, at the same time he was a little bit in a trance, as if split into two people, one in the quiet hospital and the other in the speeding vehicle.
At this moment, an alarm sounded from inside the exoskeleton.A chaotic voice came from the communication system: "Wolves!"
The dark red eyes flickered in the night, gradually narrowing from both sides of the road, and there was a low panting in their chests like a beast.
The full speed of these raiders was faster than the vehicles.The moment the alarm sounded, Xia Yinan took out a noise grenade and smashed it into the depths of the wolves with all his might——
It is said to be called wolves, but in fact they are still infected.Their bodies are covered with dark fur, they run on all fours, their bones are deformed to a certain extent, and their hind leg joints are reflexed.The more powerful the wolf pack infected, the less humanoid they are.
A single wolf pack infected is very weak, not even as strong as a normal infected, only the speed is extremely outstanding.But when dozens of infected people gather together, they become a real "wolf pack", led by the "head wolf", cooperate with hunting, chase and intercept them, and are listed as high-level infected people.
At this time, they met the convoy, and naturally they would not let go of the tempting prey.
Also thrown out, there are four or five noise grenades.At the moment of the explosion, the exoskeleton automatically responded, shielding most of the hearing.But Xia Yinan could still feel that the car body was shaking due to the loud sound.The very few sounds that were not blocked were enough to make his ears feel a little uncomfortable.
Wolves infected have a well-developed sense of hearing, and noise is a sharp weapon for them.The scene was chaotic for a while, countless infected people rolled and scratched on the ground, forcing out painful roars from the depths of their throats, and rancid juice gushed out of their ears.
The vehicle was still moving forward, and dozens of infected wolves could no longer keep up with the speed and stayed behind.The rest were the strongest ones. Xia Yinan glanced slightly, and probably saw nearly twenty pairs of eyes.
At this time, for the support troops, the ability can be activated before the equipment time is up.And after Xia Yinan hunted down Ye Huai, he found that he, like Li Shuo, could mobilize his abilities at any time - for this reason, he had also been studied for a long time.
After all, he is an exception.So the current situation is that the advance team, which is already very tired, will continue to fight with abilities.
The situation is a little dangerous, but still under control.
The black blade, like most combat powers, is limited by the wielder's senses.In this darkness, even with strong night vision, Xia Yinan could not accurately locate such a high-speed object.
He could only throw out the black blade when the wolves approached the light source, and stab them through their throats.And the wolves were extremely cunning, after the two infected people died in his hands, they didn't approach rashly.
Soon after repeated trials, they discovered the weakness of the team.It was the fifth car, just behind Xia Yinan.Sitting above is mainly the advance troops, and a supporter is responsible for driving.
Their combat strength was slightly insufficient, and they were targeted by the wolves.An infected person with dark fur, dragging his saliva, opened his bloody mouth and pounced on it.
After a slight "click", the lights turned on in an instant, and the surroundings seemed to be in daylight. The hundreds of watts of vehicle searchlights combined with ultraviolet lamps shot directly into the eyes of the infected person!
Although the infected are not known for their eyesight, the blinding light is enough to confuse them for a few seconds and, in excruciating pain, completely lose their sight.
Sure enough, the infected person who rushed forward wailed, and moved out of shape in the air, and the sharp nails that grew out could barely graze the car door, leaving behind a splash of sparks.
The next second its body was picked up by the high-frequency knife, the blood mist exploded, and it was quickly left behind by the vehicle.
As soon as Xia Yinan stood up and stepped back, ready to support, he saw sparks twining around Li Shuo's fingertips.
What came out at first was only a small and flexible stream of fire, and then there was an explosion sound, and the scorching heat exploded in an instant. It was so intense that Xia Yinan felt that half of his face was hot after a distance.
The flames soared into the sky, swept across the right side of the convoy, and were carefully contained, only burning the wolves and other infected people to roll all over the ground.
The street looked like it was burning from a distance. After such a large-scale attack, Li Shuo, who was already tired, was panting, his face became paler, and there was cold sweat on his hands and forehead.
He leaned back and rested on the seat for a while before he had the strength to take out a new tube of injection and stick it in his hand.
The clear, colorless liquid was slowly pushed into the body.Xia Yinan knew that this was the third hormone he had injected, and it was already the limit he could bear.
It doesn't feel good to forcibly squeeze the power, the whole person will feel a kind of sick excitement, the heartbeat will speed up, it will cause nausea after prolonged use, and other sequelae are very serious.Li Shuo was so serious about this battle that he didn't understand it.
Perhaps the memory is too complete, this guy can't tell who he is.Xia Yinan thought so.
After driving to a slightly open place, the machine gun on the car came into play. The bullets condensed by "Xin" had extremely strong penetrating power, and all the wolves were wiped out. Even the head wolf was shot into a sieve by the ammunition, and fell to the side of the road, dragging out a long line of dark green and red intertwined liquid.
The safe zone is ahead, and the iconic roadblock appears in front of it, with ultraviolet lamps installed on the street lamps and the roof of the building next to it, forcing most of the infected people back.
As long as you go inside, it can be said to be safe.
The speed of the vehicle is getting faster and faster, the wind is howling around, and the swarms of infected people behind are not to be feared.
The moment he passed the roadblock, Xia Yinan breathed a sigh of relief.The sense of oppression in the last days is too strong, even he has not fully adapted to it, and he is somewhat afraid.
Behind them, the convoy passed in an orderly manner.The ground trembled slightly, as if something was approaching rapidly.
Just as the last car approached the roadblock, a sudden change occurred - it was picked up in the air and cut in two in the air.
The silver light descended quickly again, dividing it into four pieces, and then eight pieces, 16 yuan.
That should be an excellent knife.
Together with the wreckage of the vehicle, there were broken limbs and blood, mixed with the light blue of the "letter" leaked.Like a treacherous heavy rain, under the moonlight that suddenly broke through the clouds, it reflected a gentle brilliance.
It was so sudden that no one could even react.
Uncontrollable excitement and fear ran up his spine at the same time, Xia Yinan's pupils dilated slightly, and under the high tension, the world slowed down.
The visitor rode a tall horse, dressed in an alliance uniform, and held a long unrusted knife.
It has a terrifying face, sunken eye sockets, and the bones of a red dead horse.But in the intertwined place of hazy darkness and moonlight, I can still imagine its heroic appearance in battle as a human being.
Kill all who stand in the way.They call it, "Judgment."
Xia Yinan's face was expressionless, and his actions became more and more swift.
Without thinking or experiencing, violence is less alluring.The black lines kept breaking out from his hand, twisting out sharp traces, strange like a poisonous snake in the air, chasing the enemy's figure, and condensed into a solid body at the moment of contact, turning into a sharp blade, piercing through the flesh .
