Chapter 311 Mission: What If (6)
On the street where zombies and the army were fighting, Zhang Qiang had just crawled out of a pit when an etheric energy ball flew overhead.
"Damn it."
As Zhang Qiang watched the ether energy ball fall into the midst of the chaotic battle among the soldiers, the purple arc of electricity instantly burst forth like a dandelion seed, engulfing the surrounding zombies and soldiers alike.
boom! ! !
The charred zombies exploded instantly, and the soldiers wearing exoskeletons were all sent flying backward, their vision instantly covered in blood.
Several heavily wounded soldiers were unfortunately targeted by nearby zombies, who screech as they swarmed and attacked them.
Zhang Qiang didn't have time to provide support; he was still looking in the direction from which the etheric energy ball had come.
A tall, monstrous creature had just emerged from the ethereal portal; the energy ball had been spewed from its mouth.
This demonoid was even more terrifying than the same kind of monsters they had encountered before. Its fleshy, alien-like head was inlaid with several human skulls, and the scarlet skulls were covered with flesh and blood.
Zhang Qiang raised his electromagnetic sniper rifle and hit its upper body with a single shot. A large mass of flesh mixed with bone fragments exploded instantly!
If you can't attend to one thing, you can't attend to the other. After Zhang Qiang killed the demon, the soldiers' cries of despair came from behind him.
Several soldiers, who had fallen to the ground and been surrounded and killed by zombies, had their health points reduced to zero. Their comrades nearby, filled with grief and rage, fired wildly, killing the zombies.
"The commander is back! Reorganize the formation and retreat!"
A soldier enraged discovered Zhang Qiang among the corpses and immediately shouted to nearby soldiers.
The warriors who had initially charged out and mingled with the horde of zombies now all shrank back and retreated step by step.
If they hadn't been worried about Zhang Qiang's safety, they wouldn't have had such a hard time dealing with this group of zombies.
"Take good care of yourselves!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! !
A pulse shotgun appeared in Zhang Qiang's hand, and he fired wildly at the shrieking zombies rushing towards him. One by one, the shriveled but extremely strong zombies were instantly shattered into clouds of blood mist in the rapidly erupting orange heat energy!
Rotten, foul-smelling flesh fell to the ground, creating a gap in the horde of corpses surrounding Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang immediately activated his jetpack and flew out of the horde.
Sigma charged out from the formed ranks and unleashed a barrage of fire from his MG338 machine gun at Zhang Qiang's back.
The 8.6mm machine gun bullets blasted open cavities in the zombie's flesh, and even shattered some vital bones into fragments.
However, the zombies in the Ether World completely defy the science of biological movement. Even if their spines are split in two by machine gun bullets, these rotting monsters with orange glowing eyes can still stand upright.
"Don't even think about coming any closer!!!"
Sigma roared and kept firing the medium-caliber machine gun in his hand. His physique was different from others. Combined with his mission-oriented physique and strong skills, he was able to wield the MG338 like a light machine gun.
The well-organized troops unleashed a barrage of bullets at the horde of zombies. The zombies crammed into the street continued to charge with screams, but the noisy screams grew increasingly faint, and one after another, riddled with holes, rotting corpses fell to the ground.
"Roar!!!"
The armored zombies hiding behind the horde finally reached the front. Several armored zombies roared and raised the round sleeves on their right gloves, which lit up with red light.
"Back off! Scatter! Scatter!!"
Zhang Qiang sensed something was wrong and immediately shouted orders for the densely packed team to disperse. His electromagnetic sniper rifle appeared, and he shot and blasted the alloy armor off an armored zombie, turning it into a corpse with only half its body remaining.
bang bang bang! ! !
Several red energy balls flew out from the remaining armored zombies and instantly struck the open ground where the soldiers had just stood. The energy explosions produced balls of high-temperature fire, and even softened a lot of the asphalt on the road.
Several soldiers who were nearby were engulfed in flames. People nearby immediately tore off their burning combat uniforms, and several burning strips of cloth fluttered to the ground.
boom! !
Zhang Qiang's electromagnetic sniper rifle was fully charged again, and he took down an armored zombie with a single shot.
Gunfire erupted all around, but small and medium caliber bullets struck the remaining armored zombies, causing negligible damage.
Buzzing buzzing—!
On the tense battlefield, an unsettling buzzing sound echoed in the air. The remaining armored zombies raised their cannons, from which a dazzling red light gradually brightened, clearly indicating that they were also charging up for their next attack.
"Damn, try this!"
Zhang Qiang cursed in frustration, and several RPG launchers materialized around him, all loaded with armor-piercing warheads.
Upon seeing this, several soldiers immediately picked up their RPGs and fired at the remaining armored zombies at close range!
"Get out of the way!"
boom! ! !
The high-heat launcher emitted a plume of flame, and three armor-piercing warheads rapidly advanced, flashing through the air like streaks of black shadow. Several armored zombies immediately exploded in dust and smoke from their chests, and crimson metallic heat shot out from the warheads, violently colliding with the armor of inexplicable material on their bodies.
However, after being hit head-on, the three armored zombies only staggered back a few steps, with a small, red-hot dent appearing on their chest armor.
"..."
Zhang Qiang was speechless. The special zombies in the Ether World were too sinister. Could they even fight them? They were still on the outskirts of the city, far from the core area. He couldn't even imagine how strong the monster that had previously unleashed the heaven-piercing Ether Beam must have been.
boom! ! !
The electromagnetic sniper rifle fired, killing another armored zombie. The remaining two armored zombies raised their right hands, and two high-energy fireballs were fired at the group again.
boom!!!
The fireball exploded instantly upon hitting the building, and two soldiers dove out to avoid the scattered flames and building debris.
The team's formation was disrupted by the armored zombies, and the sound of spatial teleportation rang out again. One after another, ferocious ethereal zombies emerged from the mysterious purple mist, screaming and roaring as they charged towards the group.
Soldiers were pinned down by zombies and had to activate their exoskeletons at full power to struggle free from the rotting monsters pressing down on them.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
As Zhang Qiang shouted, he kept firing his pulse shotgun at the zombies surging around him, trying to clear a space for the team to retreat.
The team was completely engulfed in the chaos of the teleporting horde of zombies, and everyone was giving it their all in the fight against them.
Just then, several beams of purple light suddenly fell from above everyone's heads!
The moment the light brushed past Zhang Qiang's face, he heard the sound of ethereal energy fluctuations and the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air.
Buzz!
Each beam of purple light flew into the horde of zombies, either piercing through or bouncing off, taking the lives of three zombies with each beam. Even armored zombies that could withstand RPG armor-piercing rounds had their armor and flesh instantly shatter upon contact with the purple light.
The orange light in the armored zombie's eyes silently went out. Zhang Qiang watched in surprise as streaks of purple light, which had been darting around in the zombie horde, flew back into the air. A slender woman was standing on the roof of a building, looking down at them. The lights flew back into her hand.
"Does it look familiar?"
Upon seeing the woman's face, Zhang Qiang suddenly had this thought.
