For the base’s convoy, resolving the tide of corpses wasn’t difficult.
It lasted only about thirty or forty minutes, and there were very few zombies left.
Likewise, the entire convoy’s ammunition reserves suffered heavy losses, with less than 600,000 rounds remaining.
If two more such large tides of corpses came, even the convoy would only have a chance to escape.
When Ye Yin, standing on top of the armored car, came to the Chimera Composite’s corpse, he opened his mouth wide and looked at Ping Chengcheng.
“Holy crap, this, this was killed by you?”
The girl didn’t answer. Her head was a little swollen and painful now, and she kept her eyes closed. She didn’t dare to open her eyes.
Now her eyes were pure vertical pupils, which definitely didn’t belong to humans.
Moreover, she was afraid that as long as she spoke, she wouldn’t be able to control the roar in her throat.
Song Ning understood the girl’s situation, so she took the initiative to come forward.
“Chengcheng is injured and needs to rest for a while now. As for this guy, we did kill him.”
“But the biggest credit should go to Wu Sheng.”
Zheng Zhiyi had already told her everything that had happened before.
“Where’s Wu Sheng?”
Song Ning looked around.
Didn’t she just see him being hugged and gnawed by three zombies?
Ye Yin raised his eyebrows, looking a little puzzled.
“Yeah, where did that guy run off to?”
He had clearly seen earlier that Wu Sheng, like a fool, jumped out of the window to drive the car, and this Zheng Zhiyi was also the same, but why was Wu Sheng gone?
“Cough cough…”
A low, weak cough came.
Ye Yin’s face changed.
Only because this cough came from under his feet.
This suburban area was almost every inch of the ground was covered with zombies. As such, Ye Yin was now stepping over a horde of zombies.
“Brother… Brother on top, can you pull me out?”
The voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded a little terrifying.
Ye Yin’s eyes almost popped out in shock.
“Holy crap! Is there a talking zombie under here?!”
“Ahahahaha! I discovered this! Sending it to the research department is definitely a great achievement, hahahaha!”
He laughed loudly and bent down to start digging through the pile of corpses.
Ye Yin was wearing exoskeleton armor, so he wasn’t afraid of being infected by coming into contact with the zombies’ blood.
Although Ping Chengcheng had her eyes closed, she couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
Although the voice sounded a little hoarse, it was obvious that the voice was Wu Sheng!
Song Ning couldn’t help but smile lightly, and Zheng Zhiyi covered her mouth, snickering aside.
The orderly convoy had already driven over and stopped behind Ye Yin.
Several ministers and squad leaders gathered around.
They looked at Ye Yin with some strangeness.
“Um… Team Leader Ye… what, what are you doing?”
Ye Yin turned his head and snorted, “I’m telling you, there’s a talking zombie under here.”
Hearing Ye Yin’s words, a group of people around him exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Ji swallowed a mouthful of saliva: “I’m going… really?”
Ye Yin shook his head: “Tsk tsk, would I lie to you?”
Everyone held their breath and focused on Ye Yin digging through the pile of corpses.
Ye Yin dug out a blackened guy wearing somewhat damaged exoskeleton.
“I’m going, isn’t this Wu Sheng!”
Ye Yin exclaimed in surprise.
This dark black exoskeleton, and the iconic biohazard mode, and his appearance could probably be seen as the standard model of the S City base residents.
“Xing xing xing!” He shook Wu Sheng twice, and seeing that there was no response, he shouted two more times with a strained voice: “Someone! Take him down to see if he can be saved!”
“What about that talking zombie…” He frowned suspiciously.
But just then.
“I think… that talking zombie you mentioned earlier might be me…”
A weak voice came from the exoskeleton armor, startling Ye Yin.
“What!?”
Ye Yin stood in place, stunned.
“No!”
Wang Ji looked at Ye Yin in this way, and laughed loudly: “How could there be a talking zombie in this world, you need some sleep! “
Ye Yin’s face was livid. He turned his head and glared at Wang Ji: “You, pay attention to your identity, I’m now the deputy commander!”
The two were both leaders of the armed combat unit, and their relationship was usually not bad.
Wang Lu shrugged his shoulders and didn’t say anything.
Ye Yin lowered his head, sighed, and looked at Wu Sheng: “You, you really are lucky!”
“Haha, I hope you can always be like this.”
He hooked the corners of his mouth.
“I, I admire you!”
A muffled voice came from the charred exoskeleton: “Thank you…”
“But can you help me open this iron shell quickly? I feel like I’m a little bit dead.”
After everything was properly sorted out, and the collection team’s Ling Feng collected some soft tissue from the Chimera Composite’s core, the convoy set off again.
Wu Sheng’s injuries were very serious. The right arm that fired the gun at the fuel tank was the most serious, with a comminuted fracture, and amputation would likely be necessary afterwards.
Then, he was burned all over his body. Although he had exoskeleton protection, he was still burned seven or eight degrees in the flames, which could be said to be seven or eight points cooked.
The Chimera Composite’s defense ability was not strong, and it was very afraid of fire and explosions. There was a lot of corpse oil on its body, and after the Kamaz was detonated, the flames instantly enveloped it.
It was just that its extremely large size gave it unparalleled combat power.
Because of its size, no matter Ping Chengcheng or Song Ning, it was impossible to harm it with a melee weapon.
Only an “explosion!” could severely wound it!
However, this was only because it had not yet fully developed that it could be killed so easily. Give it some time… tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of zombies would combine together.
Even if it was an explosion, flames?
It was completely unafraid. As long as it couldn’t be killed instantly, it could give up the zombies that were no longer useful at any time, shed them all, and reabsorb the intact zombies.
Song Ning was driving an armored car, and the girl sat in the back seat with a pale face.
For the sake of confidentiality, Song Ning transferred all the personnel from this armored car into the military truck.
Some low beast roars came from the girl’s throat.
Aside, Zheng Zhiyi looked at Ping Chengcheng with some worry.
“Um…, why don’t you use that inhibitor yet?”
Ping Chengcheng gasped slightly, clutching the virus inhibitor in her hand, but she kept hesitating.
The girl’s forehead dripped with cold sweat, and her mind was filled with chaotic thoughts.
Song Ning looked at the girl in the rearview mirror, feeling a little distressed.
Chengcheng…
She didn’t know what to say.
Ping Chengcheng smiled indifferently.
“Sister… If I use it, I might lose all my power.”
Using the X Virus Inhibitor would likely suppress most of her abilities. Unless…
She had the X Virus Catalyst!
Suddenly, Ping Chengcheng’s face changed.
That’s right, what about that X Virus Catalyst!?
The girl immediately told Song Ning about the X Virus Catalyst.
“It, it seems to have been left in the hotel!”
Song Ning was surprised. They had already driven out of the A City area and were heading to the military granary, which was estimated to be dozens of kilometers away from the hotel…
“Sister, ask that guy Ye Yin to see if he has it.”
Ping Chengcheng’s mood was a little nervous, but Ye Yin was still reliable, so he might have put the medicine that Ping Chengcheng had placed on the bed.
Thinking it was something useful, he might have taken it away?
After Song Ning contacted him with the walkie-talkie, it was indeed with Ye Yin.
Ping Chengcheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately!
In that case… even if there was any serious danger in the future, she could use the X Virus Catalyst to regain those powers!
She still had the capital to protect her sister!
It’s just… It was best if that kind of thing didn’t happen. Otherwise…
She was afraid that she would really lose all reason and become a monster.
Using the inhibitor now was only to keep herself sane, so that she wouldn’t completely become a monster… Otherwise, not to mention protecting her sister, she might even hurt her!
Thinking of this, the girl took a deep breath and thrust the X Virus Inhibitor into her forearm!
The pale blue liquid was slowly injected…
Immediately, a sense of powerlessness spread, and the girl’s eyes went black. The pain instantly swept through her body.
“Sister…”
The power leaked out of her body, along with all the suffocating, crazy whispers and bloodthirsty desires, receding together.
It hurt… It hurt so much!
There was endless tinnitus in her ears, but in just a moment, the darkness in front of her became more and more intense… and the girl fell asleep.
