Chapter 256 Hunting (1)
At the terminal, next to the old platform.
Gray stood by the grill where his mother was cooking, occasionally picking up a piece of bloody barbecue and putting it in his mouth to chew.
Judging from the time, the team that was sent out should have returned to report the situation, but Gray has not seen his men return to the community yet.
Did it fail?
Gray had a bad feeling, but how could a group of ordinary lambs resist the attack of the "new humans"?
The communication means at the terminal were very backward and could only rely on walkie-talkies. As for the reconnaissance means, they were even more backward. Gray could only send out zombies to investigate the situation and get information by walking back and forth.
Seeing that it was getting darker and darker and there was still no news from the people he sent out, Gray was getting a little impatient.
"Find Chris and ask him to come see me..."
Gray walked up to a dazed zombie and gave it an order.
"Hello...Okay..."
This zombie was extremely mutated, but his language ability had also deteriorated greatly, and when he communicated, there was a beast-like roar in his throat.
......
After a while, Chris, receiving Gray's order, left the terminal.
Gray asked Chris to go and check on the situation at the Sanctuary. Chris was driving a roofless pickup truck on his way to the Sanctuary.
From Gray's words, Chris could judge what he was thinking. Gray was already suspecting that the Savior's operation had failed.
Chris felt his heart beating fast, and his intuition told him that Gray's guess was correct.
As a former legendary sniper in the army, Chris trusts his feelings very much. His keen perception of danger has saved him many times on the battlefield.
If we go to the Salvation Temple now, we might encounter extremely dangerous situations.
The drive lasted for several hours, and Chris had difficulty calming down. It was not until the pickup truck was two kilometers away from the Savior Church that Chris stopped the car and started walking.
In the dark woods, Chris was crossing the bumpy terrain with a sniper rifle on his back, like an agile human cheetah, constantly rubbing against nearby branches and bushes, and a constant "rustling" sound was heard in the forest.
"Hoo...uh..."
The zombies wandering in the forest noticed the movement and followed Chris, but their rotten bodies were extremely slow, and in the end they couldn't even detect the sound of Chris's rapid movements.
As the largest community around Washington, the Savior's Church has long been regarded as a thorn in Gray's side. Chris has been sent here several times to investigate the situation at the Savior's Church and is familiar with the surrounding environment.
Only when they were close to the road outside the church did Chris slow down and slowly approach the trees on the edge of the road.
The closer he got to the highway, the more uneasy Chris felt. For a moment, he even wanted to turn around and go back to the terminal.
"What's going on... Is this an out-of-control reaction?"
Along the way, Chris thought a lot. He didn't think that with his current abilities, the post-disaster world would pose any threat to his existence unless the pre-disaster army reappeared.
Chris attributed his mental uneasiness to the side effects of long-term consumption of human flesh. Perhaps his brain had been eroded by prions and was on the verge of losing control.
Although his thoughts were somewhat wavering, Chris still chose to be steady. He continued to slow down his movements and slowly approached the road.
The dim moonlight illuminated the Salvation Church. The factory building, which once occupied a large area, was now only covered with rubble and bomb craters. The Salvation Church was razed to the ground by a 2000-pound bomb...
Chris, who was secretly investigating the situation, was a little surprised. For a moment, he thought he had come to the wrong place.
But Chris soon realized why no one was returning to the terminal.
"All dead...?" Chris' heart beat faster as he realized this unbelievable result.
The scene before us could only be caused by thousands of pounds of military high explosives. Who was behind all this?
Chris didn't believe that this was revenge from the Savior Community. This group of survivors, who were like gangsters, had very backward means of production technology and relied purely on plunder to maintain the operation of the community.
The army took action! ?
A guess emerged in Chris's mind, a guess that made him happy and frightened.
His heart was beating violently. This was the first time his heart beat so fast since he became what Gray called a "new human". The rapid blood supply made him feel like his brain was going out of control.
Bang bang...bang bang...
The sound of heartbeats was heard, and Chris's extraordinary five senses came into play, but he immediately became alert because... this heartbeat did not belong to him, but also came from the woods.
Two clusters of dark green light that were too dim to be seen were approaching Chris. Chris immediately reacted: "Night vision goggles!"
"Target found, gather quickly." An undisguised voice of vicissitudes of life sounded.
A faint fire lit up in the dark forest; it was an elderly soldier lighting his cigar.
Chris's heart was filled with alarm. He did not give the other party a chance to continue showing off. He picked up the large-caliber sniper rifle behind him and shot at the location of the fire!
"boom!!"
The 12.7mm large-caliber bullet flew out of the chamber, and the violent air wave made the surrounding bushes rustle.
A tree that could be hugged by one man exploded with a sound, and bullets hit it, splashing out countless wooden splinters!
Price, who had already squatted down and hid behind a tree, calmly glanced at the tree trunk that was about to fall beside him. A huge hole exploded in the main body of the trunk, and the heavy tree trunk was already creaking and was about to break.
"You like playing sniper, right?"
Soap's disdainful voice suddenly sounded.
boom! ! ! !
Chris didn't know where the enemy in front of him came from, but in his field of vision, a figure standing upright had raised a rifle and fired at him.
With his extraordinary reaction and agility, Chris immediately hid behind the tree, but the opponent seemed to have predicted his action and fired the same 12.7mm bullet at the edge of the tree trunk!
Poof! !
Chris felt his back being hit by bullets. A series of extremely tight skin and flesh were pierced through by the large-caliber bullets. At the same time, the pressure in his body cavity was rapidly decreasing!
“Hoohoohoohoohoo!!!”
The decrease in cavity pressure caused the lungs to lose a balanced breathing environment, but Chris's corpse-like body was not a vegetarian. He forced his already unbalanced lungs to continue breathing to maintain his own blood oxygen content.
If the blood oxygen level drops too much, Chris will lose the ability to move or even die!
Chris is not afraid of death, but he is worried about what will happen after his death. He doesn't want to completely become a demon that is against God!
"who are you!!"
Chris hid behind the tree and continued to breathe. At the same time, he felt an itchy sensation on his back. The large piece of flesh that was taken away by the bullet was slowly healing.
"He is not dead. He is confirmed to be the target mentioned by the commander."
Soap, who was wearing a night vision helmet, noticed Chris's condition and immediately informed Price of his judgment.
"Surrender or die."
Price, with half of his body exposed, stood behind a broken tree and gave an ultimatum to the barely alive Chris!
