Chapter 379： Double whammy

Meng Chao remembered that after he failed the college entrance examination in his previous life, the zombie virus gradually revived.

It stands to reason that the zombie crisis has existed for 40 to 50 years. The survivors have long formed immunity against various viruses. It has been a long time since I heard that there have been large-scale zombies.

Occasionally, zombies appeared, just like Granny Wang, who suffered heavy losses from monsters and their lives came to an end. The corpses slowly mutated into another life form.

However, Meng Chao remembered very clearly that in the middle and late stages of the Monster War, Dragon City was about to make zombies every other time.

It seems that with the upgrade of monsters, the power of the zombie virus has also increased by a level.

The new zombie virus can not only be transmitted to humans through snakes, insects, rats and ants.

There is no need to kill humans completely, but to tear a few wounds slightly, and the virus can follow the circulatory system and reach the central nervous system and brain tissue.

In just half a minute to a minute, a living human will become a super zombie with all sorts of weirdness and defense.

Some zombies can spray fire or acid.

Some zombies can fly over the walls and have extremely terrifying movement functions.

Some zombies can explode themselves, turning themselves into an extra-large biochemical bomb, and with a "bang", the body fluid carrying a large amount of virus will be splashed hundreds of meters away.

Strictly speaking, these infected people should not be called "zombies."

Because compared with the traditional zombies that change after death, their mutation speed is extremely fast. Many people are clearly still alive, but they are only eroded and controlled by the terrible virus.

Perhaps it is more appropriate to call them "mutants".

But this is not the point.

The point is, Meng Chao remembers that every time a super zombie appeared, it was just an appetizer. Often after the zombies raged, terrible monsters appeared on the scene, causing serious damage to Dragon City.

Meng Chao in his previous life was confused, and didn't understand why zombies and monsters came together every time.

Having mastered a higher level of intelligence in this life, a flash of lightning flashed across his mind, and it suddenly became bright.

"Yes, after more than 50 years of survival screening, the residents of Longcheng City now have antibodies against the natural zombie virus in their bodies. Even if the virus does break out, it will only slowly turn into that kind of body decay, staggering. Traditional zombies who can scream and bark, but don't have the slightest combat effectiveness.

"This kind of super zombie virus, which has a rapid onset, and after mutation, is so infectious and powerful that it is outrageous, should be a biochemical weapon developed by a different animal.

"According to the analysis of Dragon City experts, the space of Dragon City and the alien world gradually merged together. The fog and large-scale monster invasion that enveloped the whole city are becoming less and less common. It is difficult for alien animals to pass through large space gaps and project a large number of Forces to the inside of Dragon City.

"Then the snake, insect, rat, and ant carrying the super zombie virus have become the vanguard of the alien beast.

"It is impossible to defeat humans by zombies alone.

"But it can disrupt the order of the Dragon City, mobilize the human forces, make the extraordinary people exhausted, and cover up the real actions of the alien beasts!"

Thinking of this, Meng Chao shuddered and hurriedly grabbed the communicator.

"Leader Ye, we still have to focus on the alien beast."

Meng Chaodao, "I think that the rat tide and the zombies are just a prelude, they are blindfolds to confuse us. The real enemy's attack is still behind!"

On the other side of the communication channel, Ye Xiaoxing was very noisy, the howling of zombies, the roar of human beings, and the sound of guns one after another.

After a while, he asked, "How can you see it?"

"The alien beast hasn't planned a major operation for several months. If we don't do anything at this time, can we just watch us take out its nest?"

Meng Chaodao said, "No matter how powerful the new zombies are, they are only zombies. They are absolutely no match for the iron fists of our brave and fearless people in Longcheng. We know this. The alien beast must know better-it will not be stupid to use rat tides. And the zombies came to deliver food.

"Don't forget that Gaoye is still nearby. If he takes advantage of all of us to suppress the zombies, he gnaws away the foundation of a certain high-rise building, causing the tall building to collapse as a whole, wouldn't it be more damage than a hundred zombies can cause? Bigger?"

"...Makes sense."

Ye Xiaoxing pondered for a moment, and readily agreed with Meng Chao's judgment.

Although Meng Chao is young, he is only a non-staff member of the Bureau of Investigation of Alien Beasts.

However, the several reports he recently submitted in succession were very insightful and predictable, which caused the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau to timely adjust some of its strategies and regulations, gaining more results, and avoiding a large number of casualties.

In the nine internal simulated offensive and defensive exercises, Meng Chao also often played the role of "Blue Army-Alien Beasts" and carried out ubiquitous over-limit attacks on Dragon City.

Even formal investigators who are several levels higher than him are often defeated by his pervasive penetration and frenzied destruction. They can only smile bitterly and say, "Fortunately, Meng Chao, you are not a strange animal. "

Gradually, Meng Chao became famous within the Bureau of Investigation of Alien Beasts.

The members of the nine groups regarded him as "an alien beast in human skin" rather than an ordinary college student, and they trusted him extremely high.

Ye Xiaoxing immediately summoned nine groups of investigators scattered across the south of the city and held an emergency video conference.

"The Red Dragon Army is already in place, and most communities have also been fortified. It is only a matter of time before zombies are eliminated. Our problem is still strange beasts."

Ye Xiaoxing said, "Right now, there are riots in the south of the city. The alien beasts are very likely to take advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the vital points. I have reminded the top to send more people to guard the important facilities in the south of the city, and our task is to get Gaoye out. .

"The problem is that the sound of guns on the ground is constant, and there are also a large number of snakes, insects, mice and ants wriggling underground, making it difficult for us to detect the sound of Takano digging and swallowing the soil.

"So, we can only predict the target that the other party may attack, try to get ahead of the other party, and be caught off guard!"

Ye Xiaoxing sent the distribution map of important facilities in the southern part of the city to the tactical computers of nine groups of investigators.

The investigators' tactical computers originally stored hundreds of construction drawings and three-dimensional structural drawings of underground pipelines, with the coordinates of the recent discovery of Takano.

Connecting the densely packed coordinates together outlines Takano's trajectory.

The scratches discovered by Meng Chao and Lu Siya were the last place Gao Ye appeared.

Connect the trajectory of the action and the final location together, just like an arrow.

There are at least dozens of important infrastructures or high-rise buildings in front of the arrow.

Each team of investigators is responsible for three or five suspected targets.

Even so, it is still stretched, leaving a large blank area between the targets, which is very easy to be exploited by Takano and make trouble.

If you can know the target of Takano's destruction in advance...

Meng Chao stared at the map, looking attentively.

Unconsciously, the nails of his thumb were bitten into pits.

Suddenly, he saw a small dot on the edge of the map.

He desperately zoomed in on the map and retrieved the real-time monitoring picture where the dot was.

"Meng Chao, Siya, are you aware of the scope of your search?"

Ye Xiaoxing asked in the communication channel.

"Group leader, we want to change our goal!"

Meng Chao intercepted Lu Siya's words and spoke first.

"Why?" Ye Xiaoxing asked.

"……intuition."

Meng Chaodao said, "Of course, these important facilities that you have marked are all very good targets. Once damaged, it can cause a large number of civilian deaths and injuries and the collapse of some areas.

"However, I don't think Takano will choose these places. His next target is most likely the construction site of the No. 20 underground rail transit line!"

"..." Ye Xiaoxing was silent, waiting for Meng Chao's explanation.

"I know Takano, he is an out-and-out ‘technical house’. When he was a human being, he took pains to achieve his wish even at the expense of crimes, which was to win the construction order for the No. 20 underground rail transit line.

"I think even if humanity is completely wiped out and the pride of being a human being forgotten, there should always be a trace of...unwillingness left in his nerves.

"Recently, the construction of the No. 20 underground rail transit line has just advanced to the stage of digging a riverbed tunnel.

"This is the first time that Longcheng has excavated a river-bottom tunnel across the Chilong River. In addition to construction, a large number of advanced technologies have to be verified. Once these technologies are proven feasible, there will soon be three, five, and seven tunnels. The emergence of the Jiang tunnel, which closely connects the main urban area and Jiangnan District, greatly enhances the cohesion and overall combat effectiveness of Dragon City.

"However, if at the critical juncture of project construction, a huge super sandworm digs into the tunnel under construction, so that the surging river water will flood into the tunnel, and the tunnel and even the underground track space that has already been constructed will be destroyed. Engineers and experts all drowned-how long will this slow down the development of Dragon City?

"I think that only such a goal is worth the pains of the alien beasts, launching a'smoke bomb' of rat tides and zombies to cover!"

Ye Xiaoxing was silent for a moment and said: "The construction site of the cross-river tunnel is on the edge of the southern part of the city."

"If the time is calculated from the outbreak of the rat tide, it should be high enough to flee there to start destruction!" Meng Chaodao.

"it is good!"

Ye Xiaoxing didn't doubt about employing people and made a decisive decision, "The dozens of important facilities here are related to the safety of millions of citizens. It is impossible for us to give up searching and deploying defenses.

"But I can assign your search targets to other teams. You and Siya rush to the construction site of the cross-river tunnel as quickly as possible. Once the traces of Gaoye are found, the attack team will arrive immediately!"

"understand!"

Meng Chao and Lu Siya said at the same time.

The two simultaneously took out a different metal box from their backpacks.

Meng Chao pressed a triangular button on the top of the metal box. Accompanied by the sound of precision gears and mechanical movements, the metal box opened layer by layer, turning into a three-dimensional mobile suit that shone like a metal skull.

Lu Siya's metal box turned into a flying backpack.

A pair of cicada-thin alloy wings are folded and stored on both sides of the backpack, and a small engine filled with spar fuel can jet airflow and fine-tune the direction.
