Time Travel: I am a Warlord in Doomsday America

Chapter 309 Mission: What If (4)

This armored zombie was wandering in the parking lot. Zhang Qiang carefully observed its movements and suddenly found that the shaking of its arms when it walked was not normal.

"Oh my god, what is that thing in its hand? It looks like a firearm."

Zhang Qiang cursed, and a weapon similar to a cannon barrel was put on the right arm of the armored zombie.

Considering the degree of evil in this world, the armored zombies' cannon barrels are probably not just for decoration.

"Sean, can you still feel that malice?"

Zhang Qiang waved to Sean to come over, and the latter squatted and walked forward to Zhang Qiang's side.

Sean did not hesitate and said with certainty: "I can feel it is still paying attention to us."

Since the position was always exposed, Zhang Qiang didn't want to slow down the pace of action. He waved his hand for everyone to stand up and said loudly:

"Don't save bullets, kill any zombies that get in your way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qiang raised his electromagnetic sniper rifle and fired at the armored zombie in the parking lot.

boom! ! !

A sci-fi blue beam of light appeared and instantly penetrated the parking lot. The trees outside and the armored zombies inside exploded almost at the same time, and the rotten flesh of the trees and zombies exploded in the air.

[Panel prompt: Kill the armored zombie and get 500 points as a reward.]

New points were credited to the account. Zhang Qiang glanced at the points balance on the panel. It seemed that the army at the position was still clearing out the zombies. The points that had hit the bottom yesterday were now close to 100,000.

Zhang Qiang led everyone to run towards the parking lot. The points value of the armored zombies was much lower than that of the simulated demons, so they were definitely not as dangerous as the simulated demons.

The group of people moved as fast as the wind with the help of exoskeletons. Zhang Qiang quickly led his men through the trees that were in the way and squatted beside the remains of the armored zombie to check.

The appearance of the armored zombie was not as weird as that of the demon. It was just a tall zombie. As for the cannon barrel on its right arm, it had been shattered by the impact of the electromagnetic super kinetic energy bullet.

Zhang Qiang did not find any useful details, and after leaving the corpse he continued to give orders to advance into the city.

At this time, the previously arranged teams will have to separate. Except for teams 16-20, the remaining teams will disperse and investigate the buildings outside the city.

Leaving the parking lot, Zhang Qiang led the team and walked on the road without hesitation. The pungent smell in the air became stronger and stronger. He sniffed carefully and found a hint of blood red in front of his eyes.

[HP: 2109/2110. 】

"Pay attention to your breathing, the air here is not right." Zhang Qiang's nerves instantly tensed up and he reminded everyone.

After hearing what Zhang Qiang said, Daryl actually sniffed it carefully. He suddenly said, "The smell here is a bit like mushrooms in the forest."

"What? Mushrooms?" Zhang Qiang looked at Daryl in confusion.

Daryl held out his hand and stared at his palm to check for abnormalities in the air. He said, "Do you see the dust specks? There's something strange in the air here. It could be some kind of fungal spores."

Zhang Qiang raised his eyebrows. He was not sure whether this thing was potentially harmful or not. If everyone inhaled too much city air, they would suddenly lose their collective combat effectiveness.

Zhang Qiang immediately exchanged a batch of gas masks on the panel. Piles of gas masks materialized and piled on the ground. He said to the soldiers behind him:

"Put them on. Teams 16,17 and , contact the other teams and send them over."

"Yes!"

The two teams of soldiers picked up the equipment on the ground, and now the force heading deep into the city was divided into ten more people.

Suddenly, Daryl squatted down with the gun in his hand, and he found something on the road.

Daryl took off his gloves, reached out and touched the dark road, and a purple-pink mark suddenly appeared on his fingers.

He sniffed carefully, and a hint of blood red appeared in front of his eyes.

"This is it. There's a lot of spore dust floating around in this city." Daryl immediately put on a mask and took a few deep breaths to restore his blood volume.

"Let's speed up and head to the city. Tell me immediately if you feel something is wrong with your body. If that doesn't work, we should evacuate."

Zhang Qiang made a decisive decision. The goal of this mission was not clear, and if the team really had problems, he could only choose to stop the loss in time.

The remaining 30 people continued to follow Zhang Qiang on the road. The buildings on both sides of the road looked very old, and there were even obvious cracks on the walls of some shops.

The group is still on the outskirts of the city, perhaps a dozen kilometers away from the city center with tall buildings.

After everyone put on gas masks, Zhang Qiang led the team to run again. This time, not long after they ran, they heard strange noises on the street.

Bang! Bang!

Balls of purple ether energy suddenly appeared on the road, strange purple arcs flashed, and suddenly a huge circle of light was generated.

"Roar--!!!"

The roar of the zombies rang out, and in the so-called ether halo, a large number of zombies appeared at the same time!

Zombies with orange eyes appeared, screaming and roaring as they rushed out of the ether portal and pounced on the nearest soldiers.

"Free fire!"

Zhang Qiang shouted loudly, and the weapon in his hand was no longer an electromagnetic sniper, but a sci-fi pulse shotgun.

A ragged zombie pounced towards Zhang Qiang with its fangs and claws bared. The weapon in Zhang Qiang's hand made a sound of energy eruption. The high energy and air shock wave instantly hit the zombie's head. A mass of broken rotten flesh and plasma evaporated into gas immediately appeared in the air.

The soldiers around were still using traditional kinetic weapons, with small-caliber bullets hitting the heads of the zombies. Although they couldn't blow their heads off immediately, they could not withstand the large number of bullets.

The zombies were hit by the bullets' resistance and their necks were bent back. The rotten flesh on their foreheads quickly peeled off, and within a breath, their heads exploded and they died.

Zhang Qiang took back the pulse shotgun, replaced it with a small sword and started to kill the nearby zombies.

The locations where the ether portals appeared were very dangerous, and some appeared directly between teams. Now the soldiers and zombies were all in a melee. Zhang Qiang was worried that the pulse shotgun would accidentally injure friendly forces.

Click! !

The sound of zombies' flesh and bones being torn apart continued to be heard. Zhang Qiang brandished his two swords, chopping off the zombies' heads like he did in Zuozhou.

No matter how strong these zombies are, they cannot withstand the blade that is enhanced by Zhang Qiang's extraordinary power.

The tremendous strength that Zhang Qiang has developed is several times greater than that of ordinary people, and he is also equipped with a comprehensive exoskeleton armor.

He tried to chop down at the top of a zombie's head, and the blade of the knives instantly cut through the zombie's head, neck, chest and abdomen, directly chopping it into two vertical pieces.

Black organs and intestines were scattered on the ground. Zhang Qiang swung his arms to knock away the zombie remains that had not fallen down for a while. He grabbed a fat zombie that was struggling with a soldier, and with a knife in his right hand, he pushed the tip of the knife into the back of the zombie's head.

Pushing down the body of the fat zombie, Zhang Qiang pulled out his small sword. The exoskeleton armor on his body was already stained with the zombie's rotten flesh and black blood.

At this point, the situation on the field was clearly in favor of the army.

The soldiers did not let the zombies get close to them at all. The stopping force of the bullets almost fixed most of the zombies in place. Even if there were occasional zombies out of sight attacking, the soldiers could easily break free from their grasp with the power of the exoskeleton.

The ether portal that had just appeared was fading, and there were no new arc explosions around the team, which meant that no new ether portals were generated nearby.

As dozens of zombies were killed by the crowd, their bodies were reduced to fewer and fewer. Soon, the road was littered with zombie corpses. This sudden zombie attack finally came to an end.

[Panel prompt: The zombie swarm has been defeated, and the main storyline is officially launched. ]

After receiving the prompt from the panel, Zhang Qiang's field of vision suddenly changed. A large number of task marks appeared in the originally strange city. He moved his eyes to a mark at random, and a string of information suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

[Hunting mission: A powerful mimic is nearby. Kill it to complete the mission. Reward: Points.]

[Run the Ether Extractor: A scientific research instrument left by Eric. Activating it can steal the power of ether. Completing the task will give you ether crystals of random quality. ]

【Hunting mission...】

【Escort mission...】

Zhang Qiang's eyes swept across many marks. He checked the detailed information of a series of tasks, and finally his eyes stopped on the escort mission.

[Escort mission: Alan is corroded by the ether. Send the container holding Alan to the city center.]

"Eric, Alan, the names of these two little brats actually appear in the mission?"

Zhang Qiang was a little shocked. When he saw Eric's name before, he didn't think of that boy, but now Alan's name appeared again, and he was sure it was not a coincidence.

"A world where I fail, and the others in that position..." Zhang Qiang thought to himself.

After obtaining the new information, Zhang Qiang was no longer in a hurry to move forward. He asked the team to rest on the spot and began to check the marks in his field of vision.

Zhang Qiang was not the only one in the team who noticed the abnormality. Daryl and others walked towards him, ready to share information.

"Zhang, did you see it?" Carol asked first.

Zhang Qiang frowned. Now he understood. Everyone also saw the task mark.

"Can you see it too? There are familiar names in these tasks. I am collecting useful information." Zhang Qiang said.

Moore cursed and said, "This is too weird, what the hell is going on!"

Ignoring Mor's complaints, Zhang Qiang waved over several scorpion soldiers and asked, "Can you see the mission markers in the city?"

"No, Commander." The Scorpion Soldiers replied crisply.

"Then only you can see these marks...wait...Sigma shouldn't be able to see them either?"

Zhang Qiang looked at Sigma, and a questioning look appeared on Sigma's rough face. It was obvious that he had no idea what Zhang Qiang was talking about.

It seems that only people with legendary skills can see the mission mark. Zhang Qiang has come to a conclusion now.

Among the large number of marks inside the city, most are hunting missions, and only a few missions contain hidden intelligence information.

After a while, Zhang Qiang, who had checked all the task markers, had made a discovery and he knew what to do next.

[Intelligence mission: Eric is hiding somewhere in the city. Please follow the steps to complete the mission and get in touch with Eric.]

"Everyone follow me!"

Zhang Qiang shouted, and the soldiers who were still resting immediately stood up and the team continued to advance into the city.

Zhang Qiang felt that the information description of this intelligence mission was very important. The native humans in the Ether World must know more useful information, and this person with the same name as Eric should be able to answer Zhang Qiang's questions.

As the team continued to move deeper into the city, the buildings on both sides of the road became taller and taller, and more and more zombies appeared on the road.

When the team was about to pass an intersection, Zhang Qiang suddenly used sign language to ask everyone to stop.

"Roar......"

A group of zombies with orange eyes blocked the way ahead. Among them were armored zombies and several zombie dogs whose eyes also glowed.

This was the first time Zhang Qiang saw zombie dogs. They looked like a group of skinned dogs with a lot of rotten holes on their bodies. Some strange green gas was floating out of these holes.

Zhang Qiang roughly estimated the number and composition of the zombie horde. The scale of the zombie horde must be over a hundred, with at least two hundred ordinary zombies, a dozen armored zombies, and several zombie dogs.

These zombie dogs were running aimlessly at the intersection. Ordinary zombies were avoiding their running bodies. The zombie group was constantly changing its shape slightly at the intersection.

While some zombies were dispersing, Zhang Qiang switched to the electromagnetic sniper rifle and climbed along the billboard on the roadside towards the nearest three-story building.

The view from a high place is better, which allows him to observe the situation inside the zombie swarm more carefully.

"Grass!!"

After just one look, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but curse out loud.

There were actually some familiar-looking zombies inside the corpse horde. These zombies were wearing Scorpion Corps uniforms and a full set of bulletproof gear!

The reason why Zhang Qiang was angry was not because he cared about the identities of these zombies in their previous lives. Even if there were zombie soldiers in the ether world, it had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Qiang of this world failed. What does it have to do with Chief Zhang of the Tianming Front? Let Zhang Qiang of the Ether World take responsibility.

What Zhang Qiang was worried about was that the soldiers in the team would have difficulty dealing with these heavily armored zombies.

The zombies in the ether world move very fast and are very strong. These heavily armored zombies seem to be able to withstand a lot of small-caliber bullets, which is somewhat dangerous for soldiers with backward weapons and equipment.

"If we had enough points, everyone would have used energy weapons long ago."

Zhang Qiang felt annoyed. The energy weapons on the panel cost tens of thousands of dollars, and the bullets were also ridiculously expensive.

These days, his points were mainly used to equip exoskeletons and produce heavy vehicles. The remaining amount was not enough to equip everyone in the team with energy weapons.

"Maybe you can try this..."

Zhang Qiang checked the panel and suddenly had an idea.

The panel can also be used to purchase armed helicopters and tanks. Although more than 100,000 points are not enough to obtain permanent ownership of war vehicles, it is enough to summon temporary kill streak rewards.

It just so happened that he had never tried to summon a large war vehicle in the ether world, and now that he had it available, he might as well give it a try.
