"Have a cigarette?" "Captain."
On the southeast side of Remus" perimeter, a soldier who was climbing down an iron ladder from the watchtower took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket and asked Glenn.
Greene is 35 years old, just before his prime, the golden age of his life. With his height of 190CM and solid muscles, Glenn looked like an iron tower. He had a squarish face and a chin full of green stubble. Glenn"s neck was short and thick, which made him look like a lump of iron.
In fact, during his 20 years as a mercenary, Glenn had won the t.i.tle "Iron Man" for his eternal faith. In fact, the strength and defense of the fifth stage made Glenn look like an iron man, and he would never fall.
In Remturi, he and two other powerhouses of the fifth step became the city"s captain. Each of them had around a hundred soldiers under their command, and all three of them had different chiefs. Like Green, his team was mainly responsible for the night defense. Glenn worked from six in the evening until eight in the morning. For this, he was paid one thousand yuan a month.
This reward was already very high in the wilderness. After all, ordinary soldiers didn"t even earn a hundred dollars a month.
He took the cigarette that the soldier pa.s.sed to him, and after the soldier tapped it with his lighter, a red light appeared in the darkness. Following that, a second red light lit up. However, the soldier had also lit one.
The soldier took a drag on his cigarette and slowly exhaled a mouthful of hot, spicy smoke. The soldiers looked up at the flas.h.i.+ng red lights in the residential area. It was already late at night, and the citizens living in the buildings on the surface had long since fallen asleep. Thus, the scene of the ten thousand lights also disappeared. But there were still warning lights flas.h.i.+ng, like lighthouses in the night.
"What is it? You want to rent a house there too? " Glenn yawned and stared at the soldier blankly.
The soldier smiled and shook his head, as if trying to shake out some unrealistic idea. "I do, but I"m still single. It would be a waste to rent a single unit."
"Then hurry and find a girl." Glenn said with his usual expressionless face.
"Who would want to live with someone who doesn"t know what tomorrow will bring? When I need to, I prefer to go to the red light district and have fun with some girls. At least that"s what you want me to do. " The soldier laughed and said.
Glenn lowered his head and spoke in a voice that he could only hear, "In this world of dog s.h.i.+t, who knows what will happen to their tomorrow?" Perhaps, those men … "
"Captain, what did you say?" The soldier obviously didn"t hear what Glenn said, so he asked with his ears stretched out.
"Nothing." After putting out the cigarette and putting it in his pocket, Glenn looked at the soldier and said, "It"s still a long night and I"m feeling refreshed."
The soldier immediately straightened up, dropped his cigarette, and saluted. "Yes, sir."
Glenn nodded and walked to the next post. After walking a few steps, he stopped. Without looking back, he said, "Next time you go to the red light district, don"t forget me."
"Yes, captain!"
The cheers of the soldiers came from behind. Glenn"s poker face finally revealed a faint smile. He continued to walk, but at that moment, a slight vibration came from beneath his feet, leaving Glenn in a daze for a while.
Earthquake?
Glenn froze for a moment, but the vibration had already disappeared, as if nothing had ever happened. Glenn shook his head and didn"t take the vibration to heart.
The soldier climbed up the iron ladder to the watchtower, where another young soldier was yawning. Seeing his comrades, the soldier immediately straightened himself.
"Relax, Yarvik."
"Yes, sir."
Jeno shook his head and said to the recruit, "Yarvik, how many times have I said that? "The word "sir" only applies to Captain Green."
"Yes, sir!"
He shook his head wordlessly and made a gesture. "Take a rest, I"ll stand guard, and I"ll change my watch in two hours."
"Yes, sir." After saying that, the young soldier Yarvik walked to the corner of the sentry tower and sat down cross-legged. He then carried the gun and went to sleep.
"He"s still a child." he exclaimed, his hand on the railing of the tower, his eyes darting to the darkness of the earth.
After Theon stepped down, Chownok went on a ma.s.sive conscription campaign. A teenage Laid-Bird recruit like Yarvik accounted for more than half of the total number of soldiers, and veterans like Jaino disapproved of the new chairman"s actions. A soldier was not someone who could become a qualified warrior just by putting a gun in his or her hands. For the new President, however, there did not seem to be any such considerations.
He was more concerned with the number of soldiers than with their quality.
The wilderness under the night sky was especially cold and desolate. The ruins of the distant city became a strange silhouette under the night sky. It was as if they had stood here since the ancient times and had not changed in the slightest. But Jenner knew that before the catastrophe, there were at least three million people living in the huge city where Remus was living.
Magnificent!
In his mind, a very ancient word surfaced. In the new era, there were large cities, but they were far from the meaning of the word "bustling". Remulte was one of the larger cities in the wilderness. But Gino still did not think it could be a.s.sociated with prosperity, and neither the civilization of the city nor the economy were up to the standards of the old days.
At this moment, in the midst of Gino"s absent-mindedness, there seemed to be shadows moving in the distance.
Shadow?
When the word was captured and expanded indefinitely in his blurry mind, Gino immediately picked up the field gla.s.ses that hung nearby. The telescope was already in night vision mode, so when Gino picked it up, he could see clearly through the telescope, but it was covered in red.
As Gino adjusted the magnification of the telescope, the image in the device was instantly zoomed in, and Gino saw a person.
To be exact, it was a woman. She was wearing a nurse"s robe that reached to her knees, revealing a pair of long, straight legs. She was clearly still wearing her stockings, but they were riddled with holes, revealing the skin of a woman. She was dirty, the soldier thought when he saw her.
Indeed, the woman in the telescope was far from clean. Large stains appeared on her clothes. Under the Red Night G.o.d mode, the stains looked like clotted blood. One side of the woman"s face was wrapped in gauze, and she looked wounded, so the unnatural feeling of walking was perfectly explained. But when Gino saw her face, half its forehead missing, the soldier knew what he was seeing.
A live corpse, a female live corpse! There was no doubt that women were such cursed monsters. The dead body, under the intervention of a virus, mutated, and the dead came back to life. They have no intelligence, only the primal instinct to kill, and hate all living things. Any living thing that entered their line of sight would be mercilessly killed.
At the same time, when necessary, they release the virus from their bodies through saliva and blood, thus transforming their prey into their own kind. This was the special breeding method of living corpses. It was also the fastest and most effective breeding method among all mutated organisms!
The telescope quickly adjusted the visual distance in his hand. The soldier soon saw a large shadow moving behind the female corpse. Large numbers of living corpses were moving like ghosts from the ruins of the city in the direction of Remete, and Gino could not imagine what it would be like to let the army of the dead pour into Remtner.
"Warning!" Quickly, Yarvik, inform the captain, large amounts of living corpses have appeared! " cried Gino, hoping his companion would act immediately.
But there was no response.
d.a.m.n it! I said the recruits weren"t reliable!
he thought in his mind as he turned. Yarvik must still be asleep, he thought. However, a terrifying scene appeared in his line of sight.
At some point, a skinny man had appeared beside Yarvik. His hands were long and his feet were long. Sharp bone spikes could be seen growing from his joints. He was holding something in his long fingernails, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was a skull with short hair attached to it. As for Yarvik, the top half of the recruit"s head had been neatly opened. The brain inside the brain was still perfectly preserved, and was lightly vibrating time and time again.
Yavik looked calm, as if he did not know that his head had been opened. Looking at the picture, Gino wanted to say, "Yarvik, you"re still f.u.c.king asleep. Your head"s been opened. Look, your brain is still f.u.c.king squirming in front of me! "But when Gino cried out, it became:" Yarvik, watch out! "" Yarvik!
Hearing this loud shout, Yavik finally opened his eyes. However, in the next moment, the intense pain caused his face to change drastically. Following that, he started to scream miserably. The man next to him let out a strange laugh, and his claws dug into Yarvik"s skull. He then took out his brain tissue and sent it into his mouth. "Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee …" At last, Avic doesn"t need to scream, because his head has become the food of others.
With a loud roar, he picked up the machine gun beside him and was about to fire. However, he found that the machine gun weighed more than a thousand pounds, and did not budge an inch. When she looked over, she saw another strange hand pressing down on the machine gun. Then she felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if her heart was being torn apart. He looked down and was surprised to see a clawed hand clawing through his chest.
His neck hurt, and in the background, a woman was lying on his shoulder, biting his neck.
If Gino could turn around, he would see a Ripper with its feet fixed to the outer wall of the tower, its upper body almost disappearing into the tower.
Hearing the sound of blood being sucked away, Jenner struggled to take out a grenade. With a weak smile, he pulled out the safety catch.
I"m sorry, sir, but I"m afraid I can"t take you to the red light district.
Jeano thought, and then a bright light filled his eyes.
With a loud rumble, the watchtower that Jeano was on was blasted into the sky, turning into a huge fireball. The explosion made Glenn look in the direction of the watchtower, and he saw a big figure rus.h.i.+ng towards him like a tank.
A butcher with a crude weld of metal pipes and irregularly shaped iron came running in the direction of the line of defense. Every step the butcher took was ten meters, and every step he took left a clear footprint on the ground. The giant slammed into the barbed wire on the blasted tower. The warhammer swung in a circle, heavily smas.h.i.+ng into the already electrified high voltage electric net.
The butcher"s terrifying defensive power endured the alternating current attack of a hundred thousand volts, yet he still easily used his warhammer to break through the electric net, creating a gap in the defensive power line that Remter thought was very powerful.
As soon as Glenn saw the butcher, he let out a loud roar. The muscles and bones throughout his body began to emit crackling sounds. In a flash, Glenn swelled up, and even his s.h.i.+rt was torn apart by the bulging muscles. Glenn"s wounded upper body was exposed, and he dashed towards the butcher.
"Enemy attack!"
Glenn shouted as he ran. Even without his warning, the sudden explosion of the watchtower was the best warning. A moment later, an ear-piercing beep sounded, and the alarm sounded above Remus.
Glenn activated his strength and defense as a LV 5 fighter, and the first thing he did was to rush at the butcher. The butcher, who had sensed Glenn"s murderous intent and vigor, didn"t give in and let out a roar. Instead of retreating, he rushed towards Glenn.
The two giants collided in front of the defensive line. Violent shockwaves were released from their feet, bringing up countless dust with them. The ground cracked into fine cracks, extending ten meters away. The shockwave from the collision almost caused Glenn and the butcher to fly into the air, and they landed heavily on the ground after rising about 10 centimeters into the air.
Glenn roared and threw a punch at the butcher"s mask. The simple iron mask immediately deformed, and the metal branches broke. Glenn"s iron fist deeply sank into the butcher"s face. Immediately, the sound of a fracture could be heard from beneath the mask.
The butcher roared and retreated, but the blow from his warhammer missed. Glenn slipped to the side in time and rushed towards her. He rammed into the butcher"s stomach and grabbed his waist with both hands, pus.h.i.+ng him away from the line like a car pus.h.i.+ng earth.
The butcher tried desperately to stand on his feet, but his feet plowed the ground in vain.
Glenn led the butcher along with him and charged for a hundred meters before he raised the giant creature up high with a loud shout.
For a moment, Glenn could see what was happening in front of him.
Countless living corpses swarmed past him like a tidal wave. Whether it was Glenn"s power or the smell of the butcher"s body, these ordinary living corpses did not dare to approach him. But they were coming at him, one after the other, and there was a fierce battle going on at the defense line. Although the defense line had opened up a hole for the butcher, the gap had already been filled up by a dozen soldiers who had used their firepower.
The high-voltage grid was still working, turning every approaching live corpse into barbecue. On the watchtower in the forest, the roars of heavy machine guns resounded through the night sky. Under the intense fire, countless living corpses turned into real corpses.
However, the number of living corpses was endless. They used their corpses to suppress the electric net. The shadows of the machine guns were moving back and forth on the watchtower, causing the machine guns to sound hoa.r.s.e. It was the Ripper. These extraordinarily fast living corpses had become the most terrifying a.s.sa.s.sins. They were disintegrating and expanding the flaw in the defense line!
"F * ck!" Glenn shouted and pulled the butcher down with both hands. At the same time, he lifted his right knee. The butcher"s landing point was just where his spine had been.
With a crack, the butcher"s spine snapped in the middle. Greene threw it to the ground and mounted it savagely on the butcher"s body. He squeezed the butcher"s hand with his legs, then twisted his head to the side as he wrapped his hands around the butcher"s head. Regardless of whether the butcher was willing or not, with the separation of the head and the body, no matter how strong the butcher"s vitality was, the body would not be able to climb back up.
After throwing away the head of the butcher, Glenn let out a long breath, followed by a loud roar and shaking his fists, turning the corpses that pa.s.sed by him into real corpses one by one. However, he was only one person after all. In the tide of living corpses, he could at most splash a single wave, so his use was very limited. However, Glenn didn"t care about these things. Every time he killed a living corpse, the pressure on his defense would decrease.
However, there were at least a hundred corpses lying at Glenn"s feet. The living corpses had also become smarter. They moved far away from Glenn, so that he wouldn"t have a use for them. However, when Glenn turned around and was about to rush back to the defense line, he heard a fierce sound of something breaking through the air behind him.
He abruptly moved away, and a hand axe flew past his previous position, slicing a nearby unlucky live corpse into two. Glenn turned around and saw that the army of zombies had split apart, and a tall figure had appeared in front of Glenn.
The other butcher!
Glenn spit out the phlegm on his back and took out the two metal knives on his back. Glenn was about to rush up when he suddenly felt pain on his back. Glenn didn"t have time to think before he swung his machete backwards. The feeling of his two blades touching something was followed by a sharp friction sound and a large amount of sparks appearing at the same time.
Under the starfire, Glenn saw a thin face smiling at him. Glenn hadn"t expected that it was a Ripper that had ambushed him. The Ripper"s appearance was very similar to that of an ordinary living corpse, it must have been mixed in the crowd of ordinary living corpses, and while his attention was on the butcher, he suddenly made his move.
Behind him came the roar of a butcher. While the ground was shaking, the butcher and the Ripper attacked Glenn one after the other. Under the dark night, the light of the blade was like lightning, dancing in the wilderness like a lonely dancer.
While Greene fought the butcher and the Ripper, Brian awoke to his daughter"s screams. The accountant opened his eyes just in time to see his wife, Jenny"s, terrified face, and the roar of a machine gun outside the window.
"What"s going on?" Brian hurriedly put on his clothes.
"I"m not sure. It seems like we were attacked." Jenny ran out of the bedroom and brought her daughter in.
After putting on his clothes, Brian hugged his precious daughter to his wife, then pulled Jenny along and said, "Let"s go, it"s not safe here."
As the family of three ran past the house, they realized that the world outside the house was in chaos. The neighbors in the building ran to the elevator in panic, but the elevator could not accommodate so many people, so rough men drove the other citizens with their fists to make room for more than enough.
"Take the safe pa.s.sage!"
Brian shouted at his wife. It was clear that the elevator couldn"t go on any longer, so the quickest way to get out was naturally through the safe pa.s.sage. Thus, the family and a few neighbors ran towards the safety pa.s.sage. Unlike the messy hallway, the safety pa.s.sage was quite quiet. The dim yellow light illuminated the staircase, and Brian felt slightly relieved. He carried his daughter in his arms and ran down the stairs with his wife and the others.
Arriving at the third floor, the Accountant was a little pleased to see the exit in sight, and his pace quickened a little. However, at this time, the exit door underneath the building was ruthlessly rammed by someone, producing a loud sound. Following which, a group of people came out.
"It"s not safe up there, man, let"s go." Klein called out, and quickened his pace.
As his voice rang out, the people in the corridor began to pay attention. They all raised their heads, revealing bloodshot eyes and broken faces.
Little f.a.n.n.y immediately shrieked, "Father, father, what kind of monsters are they?"
Cold sweat trickled down Brian"s forehead. He shouted with a trembling voice, "Go back, run back!" They are living corpses! "
