"Chase after it by air!"
Watching Ah Fu break through the wall to escape, the lead soldier coldly stated from the armed helicopter, he wasn’t about to let those ten plus pounds of grain slip away so easily!
The helicopter flew at a tilt over the residential building, and before long, the building could no longer bear the weight and collapsed with a rumble, taking down the screams of the survivors, buried underground!
In that instant, dust filled the air, Tang Ye looked in horror as the building he had been living in for over half a month had turned into ruins!
He didn’t expect these damned soldiers to go this far just to kill Ah Fu. Is this what they called a "cleanup operation"? What drove them to this? Could it be... for the Evolution Crystal?
What use did the Evolution Crystal have for human beings?
Tang Ye couldn’t understand, couldn’t think, didn’t want to think now, he tried to leave but found that he couldn’t move, his legs got severely injured when he jumped off the balcony, especially the left one – it was twisted in an S shape!
Seeing his legs, Tang Ye felt anger burning in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He could only move forward with slow steps, while also waiting for his legs to heal.
The self-healing powers of a level 2 zombie were strong, the injuries to his legs should recover in about five or six minutes. Suddenly, the wall next to him broke open, Ah Fu’s massive body appeared from the hole, before dropping to the ground heavily.
It rolled back onto its feet. Its thick hide and flesh meant this fall didn’t injure it. Tang Ye turned around, relief washing over his face as he saw Ah Fu was still alive. However, its body was now completely covered in dirty blood and segments of its flesh were indistinguishable – such a pitiful sight!
Tang Ye’s relief hadn’t lasted long before the shadow of the armed helicopter appeared in the sky.
Tang Ye growled deeply, at this moment his emotions were beyond description. The look he gave the helicopter was filled with intense loathing!
"Captain, should we open fire?"
The controller on the helicopter looked down at Tang Ye, who was holding Nannan and asked. The distance was a bit too far, he couldn’t tell whether Tang Ye was human or a zombie. However, having seen him holding an infant, he assumed Tang Ye was human!
The captain hesitated for a moment. His main target was Ah Fu, and Tang Ye was not far from Ah Fu. Firing recklessly would risk harming him and the infant girl!
Even though he had no sympathy for survivors, killing them would just be something he could ignore. But, the presence of the infant made the question of killing or not killing a tough one. After all, heinous villains weren’t everywhere.
Just when the captain was hesitating, someone else beside him suddenly shouted, "Captain, that’s not a human, that’s a zombie!"
That person pointed at the imaging screen, where the camera zoomed in on Tang Ye’s face. His demonic face was now exposed to the soldiers.
"Damn it! Burn them alive!"
Seeing that Tang Ye was a zombie, the captain immediately changed his mind and ordered the attack!
The flame ejector under the armed helicopter immediately lit up with a bright red glow. Tang Ye gritted his teeth at the sight!
There wasn’t enough time, it seemed like he couldn’t escape!
He quickly sent a command to Ah Fu to retreat as far as possible!
Upon receiving Tang Ye’s message, Ah Fu immediately sprinted away. Upon reaching a broken wall, it clambered up with its hands and entered the rubble of the collapsed building. Even if the armed helicopter wanted to kill it, it would likely be too difficult now.
Watching Ah Fu escape, the captain on the helicopter let out a frustrated growl. The noise from their earlier bombardment on Ah Fu had attracted countless zombies, and now, a large swarm of zombies had gathered beneath them!
Just that little delay might now have resulted in them having the slowest progress of all the teams tasked with clearing the area. In order to avoid punishment, they could only complete their task on time.
Thinking about this, the captain felt a chill down his spine. This wasn’t the era of peace anymore. If their team happened to be the last to return to Qinshan Base, they’d be in for a beating! There was a very real chance they might lose their lives!
His hair stood on end as he watched the flames from the flamethrower burn towards the zombies and Tang Ye.
Seeing the fire that seemed to take the shape of a liquid, Tang Ye clenched his teeth. The heat from the flames could be felt even by a nearly pain-immune zombie like him!
He wasn’t sure what to do at all. Nannan was crying in his arms, repeatedly calling for her dad. Every call was like a knife to Tang Ye’s heart!
"You wait for me, just wait for me, I will see to it, that you have nowhere to rest in death, hahaha!"
Tang Ye’s hoarse voice was like that of a devil from hell, each word full of vengeance. Though his words wouldn’t reach the ears of the soldiers in the helicopter.
Tang Ye slowly bent over and laid down on the ground, using his hands and body to shield Nannan in his arms. All he could do now was to hope that Nannan would survive.
Perhaps, he was going to die here today. He wondered if he’d ever see Ning Yu’er again.
What Tang Ye hadn’t seen was that, in that moment, a streak of white was spreading from the root of his hair. However, right after, it seemed to have hit a snag and retreated quickly!
High above Zhiyang Lake, officers onboard eight armed helicopters had been waiting for a while for the appearance of the "Dragon".
"Why hasn’t it shown up yet? How much longer do we have to wait?"
"Never mind, listen to my command, No. 011 Combat Aircraft, prepare!"
"Three, two, one, fire!"
Upon Zhang Zhuzhong’s command, the No. 011 Combat Aircraft launched a shell at Zhiyang Lake. However, before the shell even hit the lake, the water began to churn violently!
"Everyone, prepare!" Zhang Zhuzhong roared out, all the soldiers became alert, their hands gripping their guns began to perspire heavily!
They knew better than anyone, just who and what they were about to face. It was an evolved zombie that was possibly Level 3 or even Level 4!
Level 2 creatures were already this terrifying, what about level 3?
The shell plunged into the lake, causing a huge splash. However, just as the water shot up, a slender, robust body with a diameter of about one meter lunged out from the lake. In an instant, it bit down onto a helicopter and dragged it into the lake!
Zhang Zhuzhong yelled, and the remaining seven helicopters immediately launched their shells into the water, exploding into enormous waves one after another. Only once the waves had calmed down, did they realize that the enormous figure had disappeared!
The creature was too fast, none of the soldiers saw what it looked like!
"What the fuck are you aimlessly firing at? Bunch of imbeciles!"
Seeing the futile attack, the already impatient Zhang Zhuzhong couldn’t help but curse!
