Chapter 243 Watching
On the road illuminated by car lights, the dark area was gradually illuminated by the approaching lights, and rows of black shadows suddenly appeared in front.
The driver instinctively slowed down the pickup truck, and Zhang Qiang looked carefully and saw clearly what was blocking the road.
A row of chaotically parked cars completely blocked the road. It was obvious that someone did this on purpose!
"Fuck, you really dare to target me."
Zhang Qiang laughed in anger, thinking that the other side was fully prepared.
"Put on your night vision goggles and prepare for battle."
Zhang Qiang made a gesture to the back of the car, and Wasp and Hornet immediately lowered the night vision goggles on their helmets. Several pairs of dark green "spider eyes" suddenly flashed in the dark.
"Turn off the lights. Stay in the car and don't move."
Zhang Qiang patted the driver, who was sweating profusely, on the shoulder and signaled him to calm down.
The Salvation Army driver had seen some of the world, and although the current situation was strange, it was not enough to make him lose all his sense of proportion.
The driver decisively followed Zhang Qiang's instructions, turned off the headlights of the pickup truck, and stopped thirty meters away from the blocked section of the road.
Zhang Qiang adjusted his heavy bulletproof vest, took the weapon and tactical helmet handed to him by Ma Feng, turned on the night vision goggles and prepared for battle.
At night, a pickup truck with its engine turned off stopped in the middle of the road, surrounded by a dark forest. It was already autumn in the wilderness, and there was no sound of insects chirping.
This means that everyone will be able to hear all kinds of unusual noises very clearly.
Zhang Qiang opened the car door, looked at the pickup truck, and turned the back of the car towards the road.
This is a wonderful way to trigger [High Alert]. Zhang Qiang can't see anything in the forest anyway, so he just relies on this skill to find the enemy.
"What are you doing?" The driver hid in the car, puzzled.
Zhang Qiang made a gesture to keep quiet, and listened to the sounds in the night. Soon, he heard noisy footsteps coming from all directions!
There were quite a few of them! And the frequency of their movements was extremely violent, not like a group of normal people at all!
"It's mutant zombies! Damn! Get in the car and turn around! We can't fight them here!"
Zhang Qiang immediately made a judgment that with this speed and scale of action, it was most likely an assassin zombie.
Without any defensive positions, they were surrounded and attacked by the assassin zombies. Even Zhang Qiang felt that he could not withstand it.
Upon receiving the order, the driver immediately started the pickup truck's engine. As the sound of the car tires rubbing against the ground was heard, the pickup truck quickly turned its head and drove in the direction it came from.
The headlights swept the surroundings as the front of the car, and a group of tall figures running upright appeared at the junction of light and darkness. They were all naked, with skin a decayed blue-gray color.
Unlike assassin zombies, this group of zombies are not short in stature, and their body shapes are closer to those of ordinary humans.
This is not a group of assassin zombies, but violent zombies!!
Zhang Qiang finally saw the true appearance of the enemy. He raised his Type 191 rifle and fired at the outside of the car window, taking the lead in attacking the violent zombies.
"Roar!!!!"
The violent zombies that had given up hiding let out bursts of roars. In the darkness, countless corpse shadows approached the pickup truck at the speed of a 100-meter runner, but they could only smell the pickup truck's exhaust fumes.
Zhang Qiang leaned half of his body out of the car window. While he and the soldiers were shooting at the group of zombies at the rear of the car, he was observing these special zombies with a serious expression.
The Destiny Front has already received intelligence about the violent zombies, some of which came from Alan. This is a group of zombies that know how to cooperate, and their speed and strength are very strong and balanced, but Zhang Qiang never thought that they would set traps to block the road and hunt.
There is no doubt that the zombies have a certain amount of intelligence!
The high-speed driving of the pickup truck made it difficult for the soldiers in the back compartment to maintain a stable shooting, but the extremely strong professional shooting skills allowed the soldiers to still maintain a considerable killing efficiency.
Among the groups of zombies chasing after the pickup truck, more and more violent zombies fell down. Zhang Qiang frowned and looked back at the fuel gauge in the cab. Fortunately, Negan filled the pickup truck with fuel before setting off.
Bang bang bang bang bang! !
In the dark night, muzzle flashes often appeared on the road where gunshots were heard, which made people wearing night vision goggles feel uncomfortable. Their eyes were constantly illuminated by the strong light.
“HOOO ...
Wasp was sitting in the car and shot the violent zombie closest to the rear of the car. The bullet passed through the side of the latter's head, broke the skull and blew up a corner of the brain.
"Add a suppressor!"
Seeing that the pickup truck had pulled away the violent zombie swarm, Ma Feng immediately notified his teammates to unload the magazines and install silencers on their rifles.
The heated gun barrel warmed everyone's gloves. Although the temporary installation of a silencer would affect the shooting accuracy, the soldiers were not performing a sniper mission and they did not care about a slight error.
A suppressor can not only blur the sound of gunfire, but also reduce muzzle flames. It is even more effective than a flash hider. However, its disadvantages are that it has a short service life and will affect shooting accuracy.
Zhang Qiang watched as the raging zombies could no longer catch up with the pickup truck, but he always felt something was wrong.
Was the roadblock really built by the violent zombies? This was too much of a coincidence, just blocking their way.
"Do you usually walk this road? How come no one noticed these zombies?!"
Zhang Qiang shrank back into the car and asked the driver in a slightly stern tone.
The driver swallowed his saliva and shook his head frantically, saying, "Don't get me wrong, this is the familiar road we always take. No one has seen these beasts before."
Zhang Qiang nodded thoughtfully, but he still didn't believe it was a coincidence because the yellow light was still flashing outside his field of vision.
An enemy has triggered [High Alert] and is even staring at the pickup truck!
Zhang Qiang glanced at the dark road around him. The things around him looked familiar. He remembered that it was on this road before that the passive effect of [High Alert] was triggered.
"The enemy is all around."
Zhang Qiang turned his head and looked around, finally facing the west and confirmed where the enemy was. After looking to the west, [High Alert] no longer triggered the passive effect.
"Let's take a detour to Alexandria. Do you have enough gas?"
Zhang Qiang didn't want to continue fighting. This was a game with no benefits, and his side was at an information disadvantage. Even if he was confident of winning, the spoils would only be the enemy's heads.
He now strongly suspected that someone had lured the swarm of violent zombies to the vicinity, and even the vehicles blocking the road were the work of the other party.
Even if the violent zombies were intelligent, they shouldn't have such horrifying tactical thinking.
"Enough, we can take another route," the driver replied.
Zhang Qiang thought about it and decided that the safest thing to do would be to go back to the Savior Hall and wait for dawn. The other party had gone to great lengths to block the main road from the Savior Hall to other communities, so there might be a similar trap on another road.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Qiang silently lit a cigarette and decided to continue heading to Alexandria. If there was still an ambush on the opposite side, it would not be too late to return to the Sanctuary.
This just shows that the other party's target is the Savior Hall. Perhaps Zhang Qiang doesn't have to go through the trouble to hunt down the other party, and the mastermind behind the scenes will appear near the Savior Hall by himself.
After confirming his idea, Zhang Qiang asked the driver to change the route and continue moving forward. He turned his head slightly and confirmed that the yellow light was still flashing in the western vision. It seemed that the other party had at least a telescope and was even aiming a sniper rifle at his head.
Zhang Qiang sneered and exhaled a puff of smoke. In such a dark night, even if the opponent had a thermal imaging sight, it would be difficult to hit a high-speed moving target.
The woods in the west are full of tall fir trees. The only commanding height is an antenna tower beside a path below the woods. Zhang Qiang speculated that the enemy was most likely up there. He didn't believe that the sniper could ignore the obstruction of the tops of the many trees and shoot the people in the car.
Due to the terrain, the tall antenna tower does not have enough height to create a height difference with the trees.
On the antenna tower, a tall and slender figure put down the sniper rifle in his hand. Zhang Qiang guessed right.
The moonlight shone on the sniper, and the bleak light made the sniper's gray skin even more terrifying...
