Chapter 18(1/2)
Chuncao: "That's okay, can an orangutan grow so big?!"
Zhang Yingjie: "The zombies are catching up with me, what should Brother Rong do?"
Zhou Rong: "I don't know! I've never memorized this much before on a mission—!"
Simon: "...Stop talking and run away."
The zombie gorilla let out an earth-shattering roar and smashed the corner of the upper staircase with his fist. The four people rolled and fell into the lower floor at the same time, and came face to face with the wave of zombies that were swaying up.
Chuncao and Zhang Yingjie tried their best to shoot at the zombies, but the legions of the living dead showed no fear at all and staggered closer to them step by step amid the hail of bullets.
Zhou Rong shot the gorilla with his backhand, trying to open the way up - but in the crowded and chaotic corridor, ordinary bullets had no effect on the zombie beast. Instead, it angered it even more, and it suddenly jumped up and smashed down on everyone!
The cement steps could not support the weight of the zombie gorilla's attack, and immediately broke into countless rocks, sending the four people flying at the same time.
Chun Cao screamed: "Brother Rong! Think of a way!"
Zhou Rong's roar resounded throughout the corridor: "Si Nan——"
Si Nan landed heavily, raised the machine gun in the darkness, and poured out a torrential rain of bullets on the corridor wall!
The extremely tight shooting distance caused metal bullets, bullet casings and cement stones to mix and bang together. If the special forces team hadn't all been wearing body armor under their field uniforms, they would have been scratched and bruised at this moment.
Even so, the other three people were still forced to close by the hail of bullets, and they could only protect their heads and faces with all their strength.
Suddenly, the gunfire stopped, and the concrete wall had been turned into a honeycomb by machine guns. Sinan kicked a big hole in the wall, and there was a passage leading to the interior of the floor!
Zhou Rong turned around and fired wildly at the zombie wave, shouting: "You go first, hurry up! Enter one by one!!"
Si Nan, Chuncao, and Zhang Yingjie quickly got into the passage one after another. Zhou Rong was the last one. As soon as half of his body entered, he felt his back legs tighten and was caught by the zombies. He gritted his teeth and kicked him to death several times before he managed to break free and crawl in.
"Roar--!"
The zombie orangutan's eyesight was obviously poor in the dark. He became extremely anxious after suddenly losing his target. He suddenly threw his hands and tore apart the bodies of several zombies, causing more terrifying cracks in the crumbling wall.
"The wall can't hold it!" Zhou Rong shouted, "Quickly leave!"
The shelter is mainly divided into eleven floors, but there are narrow partitions, fire-fighting floors, etc. between the floors. Usually, only staff conduct routine inspections, and the public is not allowed to enter. This is the space they enter through the corridor.
Four people were running along the empty corridor. Suddenly, the ground behind them shook. The entire corridor wall was collapsed by the zombie gorilla!
Chun Cao ran out of breath: "We agreed to fight Resident Evil, so we sneaked into the King Kong dungeon. Can it be done this time?!"
"It's coming after us! We have to think of a way quickly!" Zhang Yingjie carried a backpack on his shoulder, which made it clang clang clang as he ran. "Brother Rong, I think there should be armor-piercing bullets in your bag. The three of us will cover you and look for them?"
Zhou Rong said flatly: "It's too late to take it out! The armor-piercing bullet is at the bottom of the magazine. It was originally intended to be used in blasting biological research!"
"Why do you carry it so much this time?!" Chun Cao said in disbelief.
Simon: "...Stop talking so much when you are running for your life!"
The corridor had reached the end, and the four special forces turned sharply at the same time. Suddenly Zhou Rong caught a glimpse of something from the edge of the laser night vision goggles:
"Wait, this way!" Zhou Rong cried with joy in an instant: "——garbage truck!"
At the shelter's garbage collection area, a compressed garbage truck parked quietly at the door, emitting an odor that could not be ignored.
There is always a way out.
Zhang Yingjie smashed the window glass with one punch, pulled out four red and two blue wires from under the steering wheel, and connected them one by one with slightly trembling fingers.
After a moment, the engine roared to life, and the other three people jumped onto the truck. The moment the zombie gorilla flashed from the other end of the corridor, the truck jumped out with a bang!
Zhou Rong sat on the bed of the garbage truck, quickly pulled out an armor-piercing bullet from his tactical bag, and took the Type 8|9 heavy machine gun. Sinan turned over and approached, and Zhou Rong used his shoulder as a fulcrum to set up the barrel of the gun and squinted his eyes to aim.
Sinan was as motionless as a rock, while Zhou Rong's body kept bumping with the truck. In the scope, he could only see the zombie gorilla running and rising, getting closer and closer to the truck.
On the other side of the carriage, Chuncao watched them closely, not daring to say a word, and cold sweat slid down his cheeks to his sharp chin.
"Ho! Ho! Ho--"
The Zombie King Kong leaps into the air, carrying the fishy wind and smashing it down in the air!
——If time stood still, it would be a very scary scene.
The zombie gorilla's multi-ton body was like a hill. The black shadow completely enveloped the three people in the truck. Its sharp claws were covered with bloody carrion and were less than a foot away from Simon's eyes.
At this moment, the red dot on the scope lit up.
Zhou Rong pulled the trigger.
Bang!!
The huge head of the zombie gorilla exploded and the sky was filled with explosions!
The moment Zhou Rong released the trigger, he stood up, turned over, pinned Simon down, and hugged him tightly. The next second, the gorilla's bloody brains sprayed all over his back.
The truck sped away desperately, and the headless body of the zombie gorilla flipped over in mid-air, fell heavily behind it, and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
·
Five minutes later, the garbage truck.
"vomit……"
Exhausted, Si Nan turned over and sat down. Finally, he couldn't spit out anything anymore and reluctantly took a sip of water.
Zhou Rong said depressedly: "Is it that smelly?"
"vomit……"
Chun Cao turned around, gasped and wiped his mouth, affirming: "Yes, Brother Rong."
Zhou Rong moved toward them in retaliation, and the two immediately retreated. Chun Cao said angrily: "Don't come over! We can still be father and daughter by keeping our distance!"
Zhou Rong felt a sense of disappointment that he had been abandoned. He leaned down from the roof of the car and knocked on the cab window: "Yingjie! Stop the car and let me sit in for a while!"
There was no answer in the cab, and the truck drove forward smoothly, as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Rong sat up helplessly, his forehead twitching. The back of his field uniform was covered with sticky, half-dried brain matter, mixed with the garbage that hadn't been processed in the truck for an unknown period of time. The smell was simply incomparable.
"Comrade Xiao Si," Zhou Rong cleared his throat and prepared to convince others with reason: "Let us assume a situation."
"If I hadn't sacrificed my life to protect you just now, who should be the one whose face is covered with zombie brains now? Who should be the one who is isolated, disliked by his teammates, and suffers a huge psychological blow? With morale so low..."
"Brother Rong, drink some water," Comrade Xiao Si said hurriedly.
Zhou Rong took the water bottle dissatisfied, took two sips, and almost vomited due to the fishy smell all over his body.
·
"We crossed the isolation layer from here and arrived at West B area twenty minutes later, which is directly above the emergency liaison office. There is a lift dedicated to garbage disposal personnel, which can reach the designated area 60 meters vertically, and then proceed
blasting."
Zhou Rong's finger stopped on the tablet map and made a red mark.
Spring Grass raised her hand.
"Comrade Xiaocao, please speak."
Chuncao sat far away on the other side of the carriage, shouting at the top of his lungs: "What should I do if I encounter more King Kongs?"
"Cold salad." Zhou Rong said coldly: "Do you really think we are here for an autumn outing?"
Chuncao couldn't help but mutter: "Why do I feel like I've been having bad luck on missions recently? Should I go to Yonghe Temple to pay my respects?"
Si Nan had been holding Zhou Rong's eighth-generation son, sitting beside him and concentrating on adjusting the scope. At this time, he suddenly interjected:
"I've always wanted to ask, what is the King Kong you are talking about?"
Zhou Rong looked at him suspiciously, and Si Nan looked back with a calm and clear look.
"King Kong is an ancient mutated gorilla. Comrade Xiao Si, have you seen Skull Island?"
Simon shook his head.
"What about Resident Evil?"
Si Nan shook his head again.
"...You must have played Counter-Strike before."
Simon said: "I don't play games."
Zhou Rong seemed to have discovered a new world: "As a teenager who thrives in the 21st century, you don't follow TV dramas or play games? Comrade Xiaosi, where did you waste your student days? What pain and unspeakable hidden thoughts do you have?
Do you want to talk to the organization?"
Chun Cao said lazily: "You don't understand Brother Rong - a guy with a look like Si Xiaonan was busy falling in love during his school days. He was either looking at the stars and the moon with his innocent junior schoolmates, talking about poetry, singing and writing about life ideals, or he was just talking about poetry and life ideals with his innocent schoolmates.
The sweet school beauty is watching a movie and holding hands with a cyclist in a self-study class. She is different from you military academy birds, haha——"
Si Nan said: "I have never been in love."
Chun Cao: "..."
Zhou Rong: "..."
The air suddenly fell silent, and only the rhythmic bumping of the garbage truck could be heard.
After a while, Zhou Rong said slowly: "Although it is a good thing not to fall in love early... Comrade Xiao Si, people should still have some entertainment occasionally, otherwise the mental pressure will be too much and problems will easily occur... After that, you really don't want to find a place where no one is around.
Are you going to bite your ears with Brother Rong? It’s necessary to relax your body and mind properly.”
