Section 1 Soldiers ()

In early autumn, there is a little coolness. The thick clouds are firmly stuck in the air, making the dull sky look more depressing and dark. The warm sunshine that should have shone on the ground, bringing infinite warmth, is completely isolated by this natural obstacle formed entirely by gas. Only through the black and gray clouds, a little bit of a slight blue haze can be barely emitted from the relatively thin place.

Lin Xiang lay on the slightly damp ground, his camouflage combat uniform was covered with brown and yellow mud. At first glance, his whole person had become one with the surrounding environment. Only those deep eyes hidden among the rocks and rubble, covered by various debris, faintly emitted a hint of undetectable tension and excitement.

He stared at the street intersection about twenty meters ahead. It was the vertical intersection of the two major roads, and it was also a must-pass place where the city had been occupied by death and was filled with rotten and stench everywhere.

The circular traffic podium placed in the middle of the street and painted with red and white paint has been lifted aside. Instead, there are two thin and slightly hunched people. They just patted back and forth, scanning every corner they could see with their sinister and cruel eyes.

He swallowed a bit of slightly dry and sticky saliva and slowly soaked the thirsty throat in this way. Lin Xiang's hand also subconsciously grabbed the dagger in his palm.

If you don’t kill these two people, you will not be able to pass through this street intersection. What’s more, in a sense, “they” can’t be considered humans anymore.

All babies had two intact arms at the beginning of their birth. However, such biological measurement standards are no longer applicable at present. Because the five fingers that should have been stretched at the front of the left arm of "they" have long been replaced by a hard armor blade in the shape of a crescent. The thin blade edge was still faintly flashing with a hazy halo...

September 11, 2015 is a memorable day in human history.

The Discovery 2 space shuttle returned to Earth from the depths of the universe with the Voyager space probe. Scientists were surprised by the unprecedented photos of space, but did not notice that the four astronauts returning to Earth had been infected by an unknown bacteria.

A week later, news came from Houston, North America: Astronauts on vacation suddenly became crazy and killed all their families, and then attacked several local hospitals and schools. It was from that time that this strange virus began to spread rapidly in human society, turning normal humans into violent beasts and bloodthirsty creatures...

Half a month ago, the 75th Infantry Division of the Army where Lin Xiang was located was ordered to enter Kunming to protect citizens from safe evacuation from infected areas. At that time, he never dreamed that nearly 10,000 strictly trained army soldiers would be killed by these mutant creatures in less than a week.

Lin Xiang was lucky. When the entire squadron was surrounded and annihilated by the mutant, he was rescued by the captain. The two of them fled along the dirty sewer to the suburbs. It was at that time that he cut off the captain's head with his own hands.

The captain is a man from the northwest in his thirties. He is generous and straightforward. When he speaks, he always likes to laugh a few times. However, since he was bitten by a mutant on his shoulder, there has been no smile on his purple and square face.

Every mutant is a living virus transmission body.

Whether it is a slight bite or killed by them with a hand knife, all creatures that are contaminated with it will become new hosts of viruses without exception. The viruses entering the body from the wound will split sharply in the shortest time and occupy the entire body of the host. In this way, a new mutant will be created.

Lin Xiang clearly remembered that many of his comrades had died under the mutant's knife, but after a few hours, they got up from the pile of corpses again. Except for the left arm that was completely alienated into a keratinous bone blade, their physical characteristics had almost no change. However, the slightly confused eyes emitted an extremely cruel red blood-smelling light.

If you don't kill the captain, you will die...

As long as a normal person is, he will never cover his whole body with dirty mud, nor will he soak in feces that emit a nauseous odor. However, Lin Xiang did this. He knew that compared to living, dirty and foul smell are nothing.

In this way, when he patiently spent nearly six hours using a slow speed that even a gecko could not reach, he completed the climb out of the sewer cellar well and crawled to a distance of only a few dozen meters from the intersection. The heavily guarded mutant did not notice at all: just under his nose, the inexplicable shaped ball under the dirt that was hovering back and forth, a living human was actually covering up.

Crossing the street, the open space opposite was the hoarding point for the attacking troops. Lin Xiang remembered that there were several military jeeps filled with gas. No matter how agile these monsters were, they could not run across four wheels with their legs.

However, before that, he had to wait for an excellent opportunity, a chance that could be enough to escape from the day of his life.

Maybe it's because of the virus! Mutants have extremely strong single combat capabilities. Their legs and feet can easily jump out of tens of meters away, and can slash any creature from the air with the keratinous bone blade on their left arm. What's more terrifying is that the alienated body no longer has anything in common with humans. They become very tough and have incredible regeneration ability. Bullets hit it, but the wounds can completely heal in just a few minutes. If there is no large-caliber heavy firepower weapon, just ordinary bullets must directly kill the center or the head, so that they can kill them with one blow.

In addition to a wave-blade fighting dagger, Lin Xiang also has an M98f standard pistol with four bullets remaining.

Facing two mutants alone is undoubtedly looking for death. I can only wait for one of them to fall alone, or both monsters leave... although, such a wish sounds unlikely.

From the day the virus spread, the mutant had occupied the entire Kunming city. However, what puzzled Lin Xiang was that these monsters did not seem to be in a hurry to attack nearby cities. Instead, they were divided into small teams and patrolling every corner and edge of the city.

What exactly do they want to do?

Lin Xiang couldn't guess thoroughly and was unwilling to guess. Apart from living, he could no longer think about more questions in his mind...

Suddenly, his body was close to the ground and felt a slight vibration coming from afar. With the whistling air flow in the air, a roar of motors from far to near came.

This surprised him very much - the city has been occupied by mutants. Who is so bold that he rushed into the city at this time?

Could it be the Army's reinforcement?

After suppressing the doubts and ecstasy in his heart, Lin Xiang still lay motionless among the rocks. He would never take any action before confirming the identity of the visitor. After all, the opportunity to survive can only be in his own hands.

The mutant obviously also noticed the movements in the distance of the street. They looked at each other, and at the same time, they lowered their waists and rushed to the back of an abandoned "Shary" sedan. They silently stared at the end of the road with hostile and extremely cold eyes.

Under the action of vibration, loose sand particles shook and fell from the cracked concrete blocks. A team of military vehicles used as combat camouflage paint also rushed from the other end of the road. The hood of the light assault vehicle in the lead was eye-catchingly printed with a red-bottomed yellow-edged five-pointed star pattern used as an army logo.

As the street approached the intersection, the convoy slowly stopped. Three assault jeeps carrying heavy machine guns formed a "合" character, surrounding a wheeled light infantry fighting vehicle in the middle. As the armored hood opened, several federal soldiers with live ammunition jumped out of the solid cabin, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.

"careful--"

Just as Lin Xiang jumped up from his hiding place and shouted an early warning, two sinister mutants also jumped out from behind the carriage. Using the huge thrust gained from the strong hind limbs, he waved his left arm that had been alienated into a bone blade, and slashed hard at the head of the helpless soldier on the assault vehicle.

All this happened so quickly. No one expected that there were two terrible murders hidden in such a close place. Especially their ghostly speed and sudden attacks, the soldiers holding machine guns in the car felt blank in their minds. Until the sharp bone blade passed through his chest, shattering the soft muscles and internal organs into pieces, and the unbearable severe pain was transmitted to the brain along the nerve endings. Then he suddenly realized that he was dead.

When encountering a sudden attack, the human brain will always fall into a state of pause for a short moment. Although this process is only a few seconds, or even shorter, it is fatal.

Lin Xiang bit his lower lip tightly, while running quickly, aiming at the heart and head of the target, and quickly pulled the trigger of the pistol. When he first entered the city, many comrades were caught off guard and were killed by extremely fast mutants. If they wanted to deal with these terrible monsters, in addition to hitting the key points directly, they could only rely on the powerful impact force of the bullet to sluggish their attack speed and then concentrate their firepower to kill them.

The nine-mm caliber pistol bullet was extremely powerful. One mutant whose jaw was hit was beaten so hard that he turned over on his back. The other monster, whose shoulders and abdomen, only shook his body slightly, raised his bright red bone blade high again and stabbed him hard at the nearest soldier.

"Da da da da da da--"

Although the sudden delay of bullets was less than two seconds, it was enough for the living people. In horror, the soldiers turned their guns and poured countless bullets towards the mutant like a rainstorm. They beat it to jump up again into a human-shaped sieve full of blood holes.

Lin Xiang, who rushed to the front, walked to the mutant person who was lying on the ground without saying a word, tightened his dagger and slashed hard at the other party's throat and neck. Amid the crisp sound of the muscles and bones, the terrifying head, which was no longer angry, completely broke away from his original body.

"For these guys, bullets are not necessarily fatal. The safest way is to smash their heads and crush their hearts-"

Looking at Lin Xiang, who was covered in blood mud and dirt, a burly officer about forty years and carrying the colonel's logo on his shoulders walked out of the crowd. He said in a slightly grateful and commanding tone: "Thank you! Soldier, please indicate your identity and army number."

"The Sixth Battalion of the 75th Infantry Division of the Army, Lin Xiang, the second-class private of the 16th combat squad."

After simply returning a greeting, Lin Xiang unceremoniously pulled away the bodies of the dead soldiers in the assault vehicle, picked up the m5g43 submachine guns scattered beside him, and asked quickly: "Where are you? Which part of you are?"

"We are the Asian division of the 64th Mobile Force." The colonel nodded slightly and asked again: "Where is your division headquarters? Can you take us there?"

Two very simple sentences made Lin Xiang feel shocked when he heard this.

The Sixty-Four Mobile Force is an elite unit composed entirely of special forces and the essence of the Chinese Army. The selection criteria for members of the unit are extremely strict. The probability of being selected is almost one in a thousand. Even so, being able to become a member of the unit is still the biggest dream of all soldiers.

The word "elite" may only be for humans. When facing the cruel, bloodthirsty and completely unfamiliar mutant creatures, no matter how outstanding the soldiers are, they have to regain these brand new opponents.

The soldier who was caught off guard in the assault vehicle was the best example. Obviously, they did not have the experience of fighting those monsters.

However, while knowing the other party's identity, another question arose in Lin Xiang's mind: "Teacher Division? Are you looking for our division division?"

The colonel nodded: "We have important tasks and must receive the full cooperation of the Seventy-Fifteenth Infantry Division. Judging from the current situation, you are also the only federal troops in the nearby area."

"Cooperate...hahahaha--"

Suddenly, a neurotic smile broke out from Lin Xiang's mouth: "It seems that you don't know anything. The division headquarters... the entire 75th division has been killed, so where is there any division headquarters? To be honest, after staying in this damn ghost place for so long, you are the only normal humans I have seen in the past few weeks."

"What did you say?" Hearing this, the colonel's expression changed: "The Seventy-Fifteenth Infantry Division has been wiped out? Is this... true?"

"The whole army was wiped out? Hehehehe! At least, I am lucky and can be regarded as a lucky survivor." Looking at the people around me with horror, Lin Xiang gritted his teeth and said in a hurry and unquestionable tone: "If you still want to survive, then you must evacuate this city now."
Chapter completed!
