Chapter 148: Intangibly Dangerous
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
In the early days of doomsday, the combat effectiveness of a team of soldiers was definitely stronger than an average survivor squad. So the current situation was too strange.
After stopping and killing the rushing zombies, Jiang Liushi observed the soldiers who were in a state of high alert. Among those zombie groups, there was a hidden danger. They stopped in the distance, and the soldiers spotted them with a glance.
One of the soldiers said with some surprise, "I did not expect that there would actually be survivors here! How about we ask them for help?"
The captain of these soldiers was a man in his thirties, looking very young with dark skin. His hair and hands were full of sweat. The captain gave the team a glance; with his eyesight, he knew the formation of that team at once. An SUV and a modified car were the most commonly seen vehicles. But the minibus was a strange addition, and he didn’t know why they were using it.
He thought there may be a warehouse nearby. In that freezer car, the captain believed that there were at least two paranormals in that team. Usually, a team had one or two guns.
But in the face of that monster, they were just a grain of corn in a wide sea! They were blocked there, insisting for so long and from the original 20 people of that team, only a few of them were left. So even if they joined in, they could not change the situation.
Seeing that they had stopped far away, it was estimated that they were afraid of those zombies. That meant that even if they offered their resources in exchange for their help, that team wouldn’t answer them.
However… the captain turned around and looked inside the compartment.
Inside the car, an elderly man in casual attire was sitting there. Although the elder was over-aged with silver-gray hair, he looked vigorous. Even in that environment, his spine was still straight. He looked calm, even in that moment of life and death.
Beside him was a young girl, around fifteen or sixteen years old. Though she had a stubborn look, she would secretly pinch her clothes each time gunshots were fired. It was obvious that she was afraid. After all, she was just a girl who had witnessed a dozen or so soldiers being captured; she was already very scared.
However, she and her grandfather would also follow the deceased soldiers soon. If that was the case, she would rather commit suicide! Although the elder was not afraid of death, he occasionally looked the girl with a trace of pain flashing in his eyes. His poor granddaughter…
"If they can rush over the zombies, maybe we could entrust professor Zhang to these people. It will be easier for them to escape. But they cannot even pass the corpse… There’s no hope." The captain shook his head.
He glanced at Jiang Liushi again and said, "We can only rely on ourselves. When the monster comes out I will fight with it and you’ll support me. I will try my best to stall for time, so you must take the opportunity to quickly break through the zombies." The captain said and showed his waist, which was covered with grenades. The captain tied the rings together, and his face revealed a trace of determination.
"Captain!" A few other soldiers suddenly exclaimed.
"Captain, you ..."
"Needless to say, I am the strongest paranormal, and only I have a chance to succeed. Even if that monster wants to eat me, I will explode in its mouth. I will let it know that I am not so easy to swallow!" The captain said.
At that time, a few zombies started shaking. They were very agile, if the carriage entrance was not relatively narrow, and the car was not strong enough with several layers of reinforcement, they would have already rushed toward them.
It was impossible for them to stagger. The staggering was caused by that monster. It was taking action! The captain’s pupils suddenly shrank, "Get ready!" Those soldiers didn’t say anything, but they were nervous.
That monster was using the zombies as its cover, each time it would suddenly appear like a ghost, dragging one of them! Suddenly all those soldiers seeing the drastic changes became scared.
Jiang Liushi immediately looked at the zombie groups. What were those people afraid of? Just then, Jiang Liushi suddenly caught a glimpse of a flashing shadow among them.
"Ah?" Just then, a scream came from that military truck! Jiang Liushi saw a shadow suddenly drilling out from the corpse sea. It was thick as a bucket, around six meters long and as fast as lightning. It bit a soldier, a sturdy man, and dragged him without any resistance.
After that, those soldiers reacted! They were indeed well-trained, but if they could not react quickly, how could they fight? That soldier was dragged out, screaming loudly immediately, desperately struggling in the air.
"Ahhhh!" The rest of the soldiers pulled the trigger frantically, but the shadow’s speed was too fast! That soldier had been dragged into the sea of corpses.
The captain immediately grabbed the car door bezel and was ready to go toward where the soldier had been pulled.
"Help me! Cover me! I will fight with the monster!" The captain shouted.
...
That shadow was too fast, so Jiang Zhuying and so on did not see it clearly. But Jiang Liushi had seen it! It was a mutant boa covered with thick scales, more than ten meters long! Such a huge body with extremely fast speed!
At the same time, the Starseed transmitted the mutant boa’s strength. It was a level 1+ mutant boa in its evolutionary state.
After hearing that it was a level 1+, Jiang Liushi was actually a bit disappointed because he had never met a level 2 mutant beast. But when he heard it was still in its evolutionary state, he became happy!
