Chapter 19: The city breaks ()

Red is the brightest color in Chengdu City at this moment.

Its source is blood flowing on the ground, splashing on the wall, and spreading in the air.

That is human blood.

Suddenly, a messy noise came from the corner of the street in the distance, and soon, the hard asphalt road surface also vibrated violently. The screams before death mixed with the hysterical venting, and quickly expanded from far to near.

Thousands of civilians cried and fled on the streets, countless soles trampled through the spacious road, splashing a layer of thick dust that quickly spread in the air. Although the fine raindrops could repress the stirring dust back to the ground, a faint mist formed above the heads of the fugitives under the trampling of thousands of legs and feet.

More than ten slender and thin black figures were getting closer and closer in the hazy rain curtain.

"Help, help--"

A strong man ran forward desperately, and his breathing in his wide open mouth had already been chaotic. The violent movement caused the blood flow in his body to surge. The capillaries that could not withstand the squeeze were torn apart by the muscles, earrings, nostrils, corners of the eyes... The viscous and hot liquid overflowed from all possible channels. This terrible functional damage made the man who was tired of running feel a hint of internal pressure being released.

The oxygen inhaled in large mouths could no longer keep up with the rapid consumption of his body. He knew very well that if he ran on his own, he would be run to death. Despite this, his sore and heavy legs were still moving forward mechanically.

The mutant, who was so thin that he lost proportion, dragged his long bone blades to chase him. The faint sunlight shone through the gaps in the tall buildings, leaving a heart-wrenching strange projection on the ground.

If you don't run away, you will be killed now.

Running may lead to death. But at least you can live longer.

A very simple multiple-choice question, the final answer may be the same. But anyone will choose the second method.

"Swoosh--"

The sharp blade tip finally penetrated the man's body. When blood gushed out of his mouth and fell down screaming in the violent colic and muscle twitching, the edge of the wound covered by the rolled meat and fat was spreading rapidly towards the surroundings of his body.

The infection speed is much faster than expected.

People did not believe that there were really murderous monsters in this world. Once death really came to their side, they suddenly realized that unfounded inferences were so stupid that it was ridiculous.

"No, you can't kill me. China is a legal country. Killing people will pay your life. You will be punished by law. The police will take you...ah---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A middle-aged man with eyes and weak strength collapsed on the ground, trembling with his purple lips, squeezed out a few words of righteousness and last hope from the cracks of his teeth that had violently impacted. Until the sharp bone blade penetrated his throat, with bright red bloodlines, stretched out from the back of his neck, he was still stubborn and slim and thought that these "thugs in black" would have some fear of the law because of his words.

"I'm going to be a turtle--"

Seeing this, a man with dark skin, strong muscles, and tattoos embroidered with teeth, dancing claws and dragon tigers on his arms, tightly clasped the ruler and long watermelon knife, roared out of the group of escapees, and rushed towards the closest mutant.

He didn't want to escape anymore. Instead of running to death, it would be better to kill someone with enough strength.

Sichuan people have never lacked bloody men.

The sharp blade made of steel made of steel cut a deep mark of muscle turning on the pursuer's chest, and thick black blood oozed out along the flesh gap. Before the brave man could take a second blow, the black blade tip with a deadly virus had pierced his abdomen from the side.

A child wearing a sweatshirt and shorts, barefoot, and about three or four years old was sitting in the mud and crying. In the near-solidified air in the distance, there were waves of screams, beatings and painful wails.

"Damn you, a hammer, your baby is so young, take him to run away?"

"He isn't your baby? Just throw him away, your conscience is eaten by the dog?"

"Mom, will you go? If you don't leave, I will go alone-"

"Get out! You are a bad-hearted man... wuwu... baby! Mom is here, where are you--"

The blood-soaked ground was filled with corpses of the murdered people. There were also various abandoned items left by the fugitives. At first glance, it looked like a large garbage dump built in the middle of the road.

"They" did not die.

A slim woman stood up first. The carefully maintained face of cosmetics had turned into a light gray. The delicate and white skin surface was covered with thick cocoons like fish scales. The suddenly elongated upper body made the delicate and sexy suspender shirt look quite funny. Although the slender thighs under the water-milled blue denim shorts turned black, they also had the naked beauty that attracted the eyes of men. Under the round and skinny shoulders, the five fingers that should have been slender and white forever turned into a strange blade that shone with a terrifying cold light.

The resurrection from the dead made her feel a little confused. When the red light of beasts appeared in her deep eyes, a large number of viruses that reproduced in her body completely controlled the brain. The desire for blood, hunger for meat, and the instinct for killing and reproduction made it finally lose its due rationality. It waved its long sword high and began its most basic work to descend into the world while running and chasing.

No one can tell where the source of the rupture is? But it is certain that the West Kowloon District has become a gap for the breakthrough of mutated creatures. They pour into the city like a tide, spreading the viruses they carry to every corner.

Amid the roar of the high-speed engine, a "Warrior" armored assault vehicle roared and galloped over from a distance. The mutant resurrected from the pile of corpses raised his thin head, raised his bone blade greedily, and surrounded the prey that was automatically delivered to the door.

Lin Xiang gritted his teeth, held the steering wheel tightly with his left hand, and quickly opened the weapon controller with five fingers with his right hand, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. While the six-tube machine gun on the roof roared and sprayed a dense rain of bullets, the solid car body suddenly increased its speed, as if a fierce giant beast had crashed from the air in the form of four wheels off the ground, and crushed a fresh path of flesh and blood in the flying dust.

What he was most worried about finally happened.

With a little breakthrough, the entire line of defense completely collapsed.

No matter how many mutant creatures kill, they are useless. They are the best sources of infection in themselves. Under that terrible method of transmission, a large number of similar species can be reproduced within a few hours.

"If family planning is implemented more thoroughly, the number of these guys may be smaller..."

The harsh friction of the rubber tires contacted the ground completely suppressed personal complaints. The steering wheel was rotating rapidly, and the assault car swung horizontally at an unimaginable speed, completing the 180-degree turn in place. In the splashing mud and water, the wet tires stopped steadily next to the refugee group.

From the back seat, grab a few assault rifles and a dozen full magazines and throw them down. Lin Xiang straightened his body from the driver's seat, held his hands into a cylinder, and shouted hard at the grateful people: "Run to the north, leave the city from the north gate, hurry up--"

To the north, there is a regiment of the Twenty-First Army. There is a temporary cordon, which is also the safest escape route.

After doing all this, he didn't delay for a second. He shrank down and stepped on the accelerator hard. Along with the rhythmic swing of the wiper and the roar of the engine, he slammed the sticky flesh and blood that had been squeezed into a paste on the road.

As an important symbol of natural ecological development, vegetation coverage and the amount of green belts have become important symbols for measuring a city's livability and residents' happiness.

Although the Army Command is located in the suburbs, the roads connected to it are more spacious than the main roads of the city. Tall trees with more than 20 years old are neatly arranged on both sides of the road. In the humid and warm Chengdu Plain, although it is almost late autumn, they still maintain a clear and pleasant green.

Six "ztz99" tanks painted with gray-green camouflage, with gun barrels lined up in front of the entrance of the headquarters building. They looked like six giant beasts that were raising their energy, watching vigilantly, always ready to use their sharp claws to tear any invaders who dared to approach their guardian land.

Sitting in front of the podium covered with a dark green tablecloth, Lieutenant Xie Zhiping stood up straight, his hands and ten fingers intertwined each other, and under his gray eyebrows, he seemed to want to see through everything, staring at the huge electronic screen hanging on the wall.

Despite sending all reinforcements, the defense of the West Kowloon District was still broken through in a short period of time.

The reason for the failure has been found out - a militia who was urgently transferred, rescued his injured companion from the battlefield without permission and placed him quietly next to him. A few hours later, the mutant infected by the virus pierced the body of the benefactor from behind and killed all the soldiers caught off guard on the defense line.

There are accidents on the battlefield at any time. The reserve personnel temporarily recruited naturally cannot be as strict as the army. In addition, time is rushed and the task is urgent, and there is not much awareness of the infection of mutated organisms and viruses... The collapse of the defense line is inevitable.

Since you have failed, you must do your best to reduce unnecessary losses.

The general sent the 62nd armored regiment as a reserve team, and they would launch a counter-assault on the mutants that poured into the gap. The troops stationed in the defense line would also retreat along the predetermined route, gather in the direction of Zigong, and finally enter Chongqing.

"I ordered Chongqing to speed up the evacuation of citizens. All troops who arrived at the designated locations should be deployed on site. They must form a second line of defense within six hours. The Air Force bombed the target area, cut off the follow-up support of mutated creatures, and minimize the pressure on the front-line blocking troops."

"All unorganized personnel move closer to the military region command center and reorganize the team as quickly as possible."

"Tele to Zhongjing and ask for assistance from the Air Force to speed up the evacuation of personnel."

The radio waves carrying the commands were quickly transmitted to various receiving sites. Unfortunately, the information fed back was almost full of disappointment and fear.

The defense line of the West Fourth District collapsed, and all the blocking troops were killed.

There is no response in the South Six Districts and communication is interrupted.

The South Eighth District suffered heavy casualties, and the survival rate of combatants was only 12%.

Military artillery positions were lost and communications were interrupted.

The electronic monitoring machine hovering over the city clearly sends the captured images back to the large screen in the command center.

The west side of the city has been broken through. Thousands of tall mutants are waving black bone blades to chase the fleeing crowd. Their movements are very flexible, with accurate attack standards and no drag. The bodies of the deceased extend along the road to the distance of the camera. Just on the edge of the horizon, a considerable number of the civilians who were killed first have begun to change slowly. Due to the weather, the aerial photography effect is not very good, and it can still be clearly seen - the corpse that has long been stiff on the ground, the arms have been closed and turned into a sharp blade, and the body wrapped in a large amount of dirty blood and pus is trembling slightly. The eyes that are opened again are full of bloodthirsty hunger and violent desire.

Everyone in the command center stared blankly at the creepy scene.

Through intelligence, they already knew that the viruses carried by mutants would spread rapidly in a short period of time, but when they saw these resurrected people climbing up from the pile of corpses, their hearts were extremely shocked and fearful, which could not be described in words.

Xie Zhiping's face turned pale. It was not because of fear, but because of regret and self-blame.

The moment he saw the picture, he realized that he had made an unforgivable mistake.

Why aren’t those who insist on staying behind forcibly evacuated?

Why keep them in the city?

If the entire Chengdu is cleared and turned into an uninhabited city, even if the mutated creatures break through the defense line, they will be absolutely sure to block the gap.

The virus relies on infection to reproduce. Compared with fully armed soldiers, unarmed civilians are the best spreading group.

Xie Zhiping finally understood why Meng Zongxiang kept reminding himself to put evacuation of civilians first before leaving? Why did the commander always ask the expressway to keep open?

Every civilian left behind will become a new host of the virus. They will become one of the mutated creatures and quickly expand their number using this terrible method.
