Chapter 550 Modified Zombies
"This method can give the survivors of the Lighthouse Floating Island a chance of survival. However, once they go underground, they will be contaminated by radiation soon and mutate into wastelanders." The old man sighed, but his eyes were filled with tears. There was a flash of schadenfreude.
After the advent of the doomsday era, the world's class divisions have become obvious.
People on the floating city enjoy a lot of resources, but the people in the wasteland can only struggle under the threat of radiation, and even their bodies continue to mutate. Seeing those residents of the floating city falling into the wasteland, the old man can't help but feel gloating. .
"Guardian Fortress." Enzo muttered to himself.
From the conversation between Melissa and the old man, it seems that the so-called Guardian Fortress seems to be a large shelter, and it is the kind that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, but it fell many years ago.
"How easy is it to clean up the Guardian Fortress?"
At this time, Melissa on the side shook her head and sighed, "When Star Island Floating City was on the verge of falling, some people also proposed to take refuge in the Guardian Fortress, which was once a refuge for millions of people. "
"It's a pity that it fell many years ago."
"Even if all the mecha warriors in a floating city are used up, it is impossible to completely clean up the fortress."
"Hey, if it's just a floating city, of course it's impossible."
The old man chuckled for a while and said proudly, "However, I have received inside information. Lighthouse Floating City's plan to clean up the Guardian Fortress has been specially approved by the Hope Government. Therefore, the three floating cities around Lighthouse Floating City will also help."
"It is said that a thousand mecha warriors have gathered now."
"With this force gathered together, even if the Guardian Fortress cannot be completely cleaned up, at least an area can be opened up as a refuge for the survivors of the Lighthouse Floating City."
"Besides, I heard about it."
"The Lighthouse Floating City is now recruiting soldiers from all over the world. As long as they are willing to go to the Guardian Fortress to perform cleanup tasks, even an ordinary person can obtain the latest genetic medicine."
"Recruiting soldiers?"
Uriah was a little surprised and said, "Ordinary people can also inject genetic medicine. Are you kidding me?"
"Of course it's not the high-quality genetic medicine from the people in the Floating City."
The old man shook his head and said matter-of-factly: "The genetic medicine jointly developed by thousands of scientists from the Hope Government this time can allow ordinary people to become wilderness hunters, but it is extremely dangerous, with a fatality rate of over 80%. "
"Eighty percent, what's the difference between that and dying?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
Hearing this, Uriah was a little surprised and looked at Enzo with a confused look. For people in the wasteland, the 20% chance of becoming a hunter was already worth trying.
You know, in some small shelters.
In order to become hunters, the survivors even took the initiative to be bitten by zombies to fight for the one in ten thousand chance.
"Besides the gene potion, are there any other rewards?" Enzo asked again.
"I don't know about this, but in any case, it has nothing to do with me." The old man shook his head and shrugged, "Even if the lighthouse floating city really fell to the earth, it has nothing to do with the underground city, and because the government wants to clean up the fortress , recruiting soldiers from all over the world requires a lot of firearms, which is actually a good thing for dungeons!"
"Besides, I heard about it."
"Back when the Guardian Fortress had not yet fallen, it was a very important base for human survivors. Some of the scientists involved in the research and development of the Floating City were from the Guardian Fortress. Therefore, it seems that there are still items stored in the underground warehouse of the Guardian Fortress. Lots of mechanical parts.”
"Guardian Fortress stores mechanical parts?" Enzo narrowed his eyes.
"It should be, right?" The old man was also a little unsure, scratching his head and said, ": At the beginning of the floating city project, scientists had raised the issue of damaged parts on the floating city, and hoped to reserve some mechanical parts as replacements."
"That's it." Enzo understood in his heart.
Afterwards, the three of them left the shop and continued to wander in the underground city. Although they learned about the Guardian Fortress, the purpose of Enzo's trip was still not achieved. The parts needed to repair the floating city were too important, so even if The dungeon couldn't help him either.
"Do you want to capture this dungeon?"
Suddenly, an idea came to Enzo's mind. Since there is a factory in the underground city that can smelt steel and make firearms, can it be possible to manufacture mechanical parts that can repair the floating city.
"I'm afraid not."
Then, Enzo shook his head. The underground city under the Twisted Forest was a large shelter that accommodated nearly 100,000 people. There were nearly a hundred mecha warriors and even gold-level hunters inside.
Although Enzo has integrated the garbage dump, when compared with the dungeon, this power is still unable to compete. He wants to capture the dungeon unless he can create a real army of magic knights.
While the three of them were strolling around.
Suddenly, a huge roar sounded outside, and there was a shock in the underground city, as if it had been severely damaged. Then, the alarm bell rang loudly, and the underground city entered a state of alert.
"All attention! All attention!"
"Please find a shelter as soon as possible. A large number of zombies are heading towards the Twisted Forest, and a zombie wave has already formed!"
"All hunters and mecha warriors, please prepare for battle immediately!"
A mechanical voice echoed in the underground city, and everyone's expressions changed. The shops on both sides of the street quickly closed their iron gates, and mechas flew over and rushed toward the surface.
"Tide of corpses!?" Uriah's expression changed.
Some bad memories were recalled in his mind. In his life, there had only been one small wave of corpses in the garbage dump, but the consequences of that time still left a deep impression on Uriah.
The dense zombies are like ants, attacking all living things crazily.
"Why did the corpse tide suddenly appear? And what happened to the explosion just now?" A trace of doubt arose in Enzo's mind. For the doomsday wasteland, the corpse tide means disaster and terror.
But this kind of thing is not common. The environment of the Twisted Forest is complex, and with the defenses outside, a small wave of zombies cannot threaten this place at all. Even if tens of thousands of zombies gather together, it is impossible to break through the triple metal of the underground city. Door.
But now, the underground city has issued an emergency warning.
This seemed to mean that this time the zombie tide had threatened the underground city, so all the hunters and mecha warriors were called together to try every means to jointly resist the incoming zombie tide.
"You two hide first, I'll go outside and take a look!"
Enzo thought for a moment and then made a decision, leaving Melissa and Uriah in a shop. He rushed outside, while running, he raised his wrist and pressed on the controller on his arm. Move around.
Not long after, the Red Bee mecha rushed into the dungeon.
Enzo jumped into the cockpit without hesitation, activated the combat function of the mecha, and quickly rushed out of the dungeon.
"This is……"
As soon as he entered the long tunnel of the underground city, Enzo saw ahead that the three metal doors that were supposed to be the best defenses had been destroyed by an unknown explosion, and the surrounding guards were also affected.
"help me……"
Under the broken large metal fragments, only half of a guard's body was left, but he was not dead. He made a dying sound on the ground, but he kept spitting out blood from his mouth. It was obvious that he could no longer survive.
"What happened here?" Enzo asked.
"Explosives... someone placed a lot of heavy explosives next to the metal door at the entrance to the dungeon." The guard was dying, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and said, "It must be the traitors from the dungeon. Only the people from the dungeon can do it." Only the people in the underground city have the ability to get so many explosions, and can place explosives here..."
As he spoke, the guard kept vomiting blood from his mouth.
Enzo frowned slightly and stopped asking questions. A bullet hit the guard in the head, ending his pain.
"A traitor appeared in the dungeon and blew up the gate?"
A trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face, and he murmured: "But what is the purpose of this? What kind of reason is it? Would someone want the zombies to enter the underground city and destroy this refuge for 100,000 people?"
Boom!
Before he could think too much, in the underground city behind, the mechas were already flying outside. Enzo no longer hesitated and followed the team, and soon arrived at the surface of the Twisted Forest.
At this time, the zombie wave had appeared in the forest.
Da da da!
At the entrance of the underground city, more than a dozen tank-like machine guns were firing wildly, destroying the zombies at the front. At the same time, a yellow mecha also rushed towards the zombie tide, relying on its hard metal shell to wave The giant ax kills zombies.
The most powerful equipment in the doomsday is the mecha!
Controlling this kind of large mechanical equipment allows the Hunter to exert greater strength. He may also be a first-level life form, but the Silver Hunter driving a mecha can easily kill dozens of mutated zombies without any hesitation. No effort.
"Come together!"
The hunter, who had a yellow-shelled mecha, let out an excited roar, and his energy-charged bullets were sprayed forward like flames. Nearly a thousand zombies were sieved by him, making it impossible to get close to the dungeon.
And this is exactly the plan of the underground city.
The zombie tide came too suddenly, and the underground city could only make an emergency plan. Using the powerful firepower of the mecha warriors to suppress the zombies, the zombie tide could be effectively eliminated, and the zombie tide could be cleared away in the twisted forest.
However, at this moment.
An extremely sharp whistle suddenly sounded, and the zombie group that was slowly moving forward seemed to pause for a moment. Then, a scarlet luster flashed in their cloudy eyes.
If they receive a certain signal, the zombies launch a mad charge.
Hundreds of zombies boarded the yellow mecha in a matter of seconds, swarming on the mecha's shell like a swarm of leeches. However, the owner of the yellow mecha did not panic at all, because based on his experience, as a silver-level hunter, he The Desolate Man controls an S-class mecha. Only mutant zombie king-level monsters can cause him harm.
A mutated zombie king-level monster, equivalent to a second-level life form.
That kind of existence is extremely rare even among the terrifying number of zombies. Once it appears, it will be dealt with by gold-level hunters.
But the next second, the yellow mecha owner's expression changed.
The zombies that jumped on him were all the lowest-level zombies, the kind of garbage that ordinary people could deal with with weapons. No matter how many there were, they seemed unable to tear through the metal shell of the mecha.
However, at this moment.
Strong energy fluctuations suddenly emitted from those low-level zombies. The owner of the yellow mecha changed his expression. Then, hundreds of low-level zombies exploded themselves at the same time, and the fire suddenly swallowed up the yellow mecha.
The explosion of each low-level zombie is equivalent to a grenade.
The yellow mecha was equivalent to being bombarded by thousands of grenades at the same time. Even the hard steel shell could not withstand such an impact. It suddenly became tattered and even the cockpit was engulfed in flames.
"Damn!!"
With an angry roar, a man jumped out of the cockpit. His face was burned by the flames, and his whole body was dripping with blood. However, with the powerful physique of the Silver Hunter, he still did not die immediately.
However, the Hunter without his mecha is like a toothless tiger.
The original strong protection no longer existed. When hundreds of zombies rushed towards him, the man could only flee in panic. He had to return to the dungeon and re-equip himself with mechanical equipment before he could continue to fight.
Unfortunately, he did not have such an opportunity.
Although the mecha warriors behind him had seen his situation and provided fire support, a shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, and a winged monster attacked him.
"No!!"
Amidst the shrill screams, the man was grabbed into the sky by the monsters. Immediately afterwards, monsters tore his body into pieces. Dark red blood fell to the ground like rain, and the broken flesh and internal organs were snatched away by the zombies.
"Zombies that can self-destruct, how is this possible?"
All around, other mecha warriors were shocked. They had been fighting zombies for many years and had seen all kinds of mutants. But those zombies just now were obviously low-level species. How could they all have explosive capabilities.
"These are artificially modified zombies!"
In the cockpit of the Red Bee mecha, Enzo's eyes flashed as he used a chip to scan the body of a zombie and found that a light bomb seemed to be installed in the zombie's abdomen and was controlled by a remote control.
Enzo thought for a moment, then controlled the mecha to catch a zombie.
Stab!
He tore the zombie into two pieces with both hands. A light bomb covered in blood appeared in front of Enzo's eyes. At the same time, he crushed the zombie's head. As a result, he found that there was a rope wrapped around the zombie's head. A metal wire, and a chip with flashing red dots.
"As expected, these zombies are all controlled by humans!" Enzo's eyes flickered, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
