A few minutes later, the pickup truck arrived near yesterday's explosion site. The ground was covered with various body fragments. The center of the explosion was an empty circle, and outside the circle, there was a large circle of fallen corpses in a radial shape.
The group of infected people who surrounded here yesterday did not stay where they were, nor spread, nor even invaded Todo Town. They actually returned to the road again.
Interesting.
Suddenly, Egger thought with horror that these infected people were not standing on the road in a daze for no reason, but that they were protecting the oval sarcoma in the middle.
Special code, the situation doesn't feel good.
Iger's originally relaxed mood suddenly sank, and he said to Joanna: "Let's go, drive forward, and go slower."
The pickup truck slowly moved forward until it was only about 50 meters away from the group of infected people. Egger stopped the truck.
"Joanna, make a U-turn first and don't turn off the engine." Iger opened the car door and warned her, "I'll get on the roof of the car and fire a few shots. You have to shout before starting."
"Okay." Joanna replied.
"You two, go and cover me in the carriage." Egg said to Nicholas and Thomas.
After Iger got out of the pickup truck, he flexibly climbed into the cabin. After picking up a shotgun, he picked up a telescope and climbed onto the roof of the truck.
Nicholas and Thomas were lying in the car. When they were ready, Iger squatted on the roof of the car and whispered to them: "No shooting is allowed without my order."
After hearing what Iger said, the two of them nodded.
To be honest, facing such a large number of infected people at such a close distance, not only Thomas but also Nicholas was breaking out in cold sweat.
Now the two of them were lying in the carriage, so nervous that the handle of the gun almost melted.
The two brothers in trouble can only pray silently while betting that Captain Egger will never make a mistake.
Egger stood on the roof of the car, using his binoculars to search for the group of infected people in front of him.
Deep in the infected group, Egger found the sarcoma again.
"Okay. I'll poke the sarcomas today and see how they react." After Iger put down the telescope, he began to conduct a simple visual inspection. He had a head but no face. Due to the crowd, he couldn't see any more information and estimated the distance.
About 300 meters.
300 meters is really a lot.
You must know that the closest distance between these infected people and the pickup truck is only 50 meters, and the distance from the sarcoma is 300 meters. In other words, there is a phalanx of infected people in front of Iger that is 4 lanes wide and 250 meters thick.
Considering that if the sarcoma is located in the center, wouldn't it be a 500-meter-thick phalanx of infected people?
Egger is still good at mathematics, but he can no longer calculate how many infected people there may be in this phalanx of infected people.
I guess it must be tens of thousands.
Thinking that this amount was ten times larger than yesterday's estimate, Iger also broke out in a lot of cold sweat on his palms.
I don’t know how many survivors escaped from Puduo City after the blood epidemic broke out. Egger intuitively saw the difficulty of escaping from the city.
Putuo City is different from those big cities.
In big cities, there are still many survivors playing parkour games in high-rise buildings, but Puduo City does not have such conditions.
In this way, except for certain areas in a few big cities, the rest of America is "rural."
Because the land is vast and sparsely populated, almost all towns are spread out. Even if there are a few high-rise buildings, they are not enough to provide enough living space for survivors.
Therefore, after the blood plague breaks out, the only way for most survivors in the city is to run as hard as they can out of the city. If they can escape, they will probably survive. If they cannot escape, they will be surrounded and killed.
After calculating the distance, Egger stood firm with his feet forward and backward. He picked up the shotgun and aimed at the search area he had just searched.
Soon, Egg found his target.
Through the scope of the shotgun, Egger keenly discovered that the sarcoma was somewhat different from yesterday. After careful observation and comparison, Egger discovered that after only one day, the sarcoma seemed to have grown in size.
Egg felt that something big was going to happen. These tens of thousands of infected people gathered here, obviously to protect this egg-shaped sarcoma. The infected people were just dead bodies, but this sarcoma was getting bigger.
What a fucking bullshit!
Could it be that a Queen of Blades is really going to be hatched?
In a daze, Egger saw some burrs or tentacles growing on the egg-shaped sarcoma through the scope, and they were swaying in the wind.
In order to collect more intelligence, Egger put down his shotgun and picked up his binoculars.
The shotgun is just a very simple double scope. After all, this gun is only used for hunting, not for sniping enemies.
But the telescope is different. This is a 16x zoom telescope for daytime observation, which has almost reached the limit of a portable telescope.
Iger rarely uses the 16x lens mode because it is very easy to lose the target and get dizzy.
Egger first found the egg-shaped sarcoma using his usual 4x mode, then held the telescope in one hand and started twisting the knob with the other.
The egg-shaped sarcoma was continuously magnified in the telescope. After Egger adjusted the magnification to the maximum, he began to make fine adjustments.
With fine-tuning, the vague egg-shaped sarcoma became clear in front of Egger's eyes, and now he could see clearly what the burr was.
That's a human arm.
That arm just grew out of the flesh, or in other words, its body had completely melted into it, leaving only the arm exposed.
Later, Egger carefully identified other burrs, not only arms, but also legs.
This, what kind of monster is this! A suture monster or a fusion monster?!
Iger felt that this was no longer a matter of stabbing a stick. No matter what it was, Iger thought that killing it was a good choice.
Gu Lai
Now the only thing in Egg's hand that has the longest range and the most power is a shotgun, and there are tens of thousands of infected people in front of him. It is impossible for these infected people to let him slowly use a small shotgun to feed the sarcoma to death through saturation attacks.
There are currently two plans. One is to test the effect with a shotgun first, and then poke it if it works. Or, don't alert the enemy first, retreat quietly, and then think of where to look to see if you can find a more powerful weapon.
After thinking about it, Egger decided to fire a few shots first to see the effect. If this thing was really the egg of some monster that was hatching, one bullet might not be able to kill it.
An egg is so big, if you poke a needle into it, it will turn into a rotten egg.
Egger put down the telescope and picked up the shotgun. He did not immediately raise the gun to aim, but first relaxed his mood and adjusted his breathing.
Three shots.
Egger set a small goal for himself.
When Egger raised the shotgun, the crosshair had almost shrunk into a solid object, and the pinhole-sized hollow in the middle would not have any impact on the hit.
Egger tensed his waist and feet, and then pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
The recoil of shooting from a standing position is very strong. If he hadn't been prepared in advance, Egg might have been knocked to the ground by this gun.
After Egger stabilized his body, he fired the second shot without letting the bullet fly for a while.
"boom!"
The two gunshots had alerted the infected people. The infected people who were originally facing in all directions turned their heads in an instant. The two people in the carriage were horrified by this scene.
"boom!"
Egg took advantage of the opportunity where the infected person had not yet taken action and fired the third shot.
The attack effect had already appeared, and Egg saw a stream of liquid spurting from the tumor through the scope.
The kinetic energy of a standard bullet is very high. When its destructive force is fully released, it enters through a small hole, and then a huge cavity will be generated. The soft tissue in the cavity will be destroyed by the tumbling warhead and high-pressure air.
Crush it into a pulp and then spray it out of the bullet holes.
Just as the third shot was fired, Egger heard a choir-like scream in front of him. Listening to the sound, there were at least hundreds of screamers screaming at the same time.
So exciting!
Without hesitation, Egger adjusted his posture slightly and fired his fourth shot.
The continuous shooting made Egger's stiff body no longer able to maintain stability. The aim of the fourth shot became particularly large, but Egger felt that the fourth shot also hit the target.
The phalanx of infected people instantly boiled under the stimulation of the screams, and the infected people poured towards them like a flood.
"Eiger!!" Joanna shouted loudly from the cab.
"Okay!!" Iger shouted in response, and then he jumped off the roof of the pickup truck and landed in the car.
After Joanna heard Egger's answer, she started smoothly and then stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
"vomit!"
When Iger looked down, Nicholas rolled his eyes and vomited.
Nicholas was tricked.
Thomas obviously didn't notice what was happening next to him. Thomas was lying in the car with an MP5 in his hand, gritting his teeth as he endured the powerful mental shock: tens of thousands of infected people were rushing towards him like a tsunami.
Just like what Nicholas and Thomas expected before, in such a fatal place, Egger will not make stupid mistakes
Egger and Joanna, who have had many close encounters with the infected, have accurately calculated the minimum safe distance for the pickup truck to start from a standstill to prevent the infected from touching it.
30 meters.
Joanna is even confident of lowering this distance to 25 meters.
As long as they are above this safe distance, the infected person cannot touch the pickup truck even in the excited state.
With its strong power, the pickup truck easily escaped from the battle, leaving behind the group of crazy infected people.
Sorry, if you have a car, you can do whatever you want.
Gas station in Todo Town.
The internal staff had started the tanker and were filling the fire truck with fuel. At this time, the pickup truck of the field team came back.
As soon as the pickup truck stopped, Joanna pushed the door open and almost fell out of the cab of the pickup truck. Then she opened her mouth and vomited water out.
"Ugh~"
Egg was confused when he saw Joanna squatting on the ground and vomiting.
Don't get me wrong, Joanna's vomiting has nothing to do with Egg, she had a second blood plague attack.
The reason why Egg was confused was that he and Joanna were infected on the same day, but he still maintained immunity.
In an instant, Egger understood that this was because of his special physique.
After Iger took off his portable water bottle, he opened his portable medicine bag. He walked over and patted Joanna's back gently, and handed her a bottle of purified water and a tranquilizer.
Then, Iger helped Joanna to sit in the passenger seat, and then lowered the passenger seat to the lowest position.
As for Nicholas, Thomas helped lay a layer of mats in the carriage, and he lay down in the carriage to rest.
After Egger also gave Nicholas a tranquilizer, he quickly walked towards Clyde.
