Chapter 14: The Thief on the Road to Heaven
Qingyuan Town is a natural market town on the edge of Nancheng City, with a population of about 50,000.
This is the place where Lu Chen planned to spawn monsters before the apocalypse broke out.
The population base of small towns is larger than that of rural areas, but not as dense as cities. It is the best choice for early zombies.
Lu Chen's early plan was to quickly upgrade the tanks in these small towns.
Let the tank have strong enough combat and self-protection capabilities.
Driving along the road, I occasionally came across a few overturned cars.
Standing on the power lines on the roadside were several red-eyed crows. Their size was more than three times larger than ordinary crows.
Looking at the chariots speeding by, they made sharp and terrifying screams, and some of them would fly with the chariots for a while.
These alien crows are fine if they are alone, but they become a huge threat once they gather into a flock.
Their beaks have evolved through mutation to become extremely hard and extremely powerful.
Although Lu Chen is confident in the tank's defense, he does not want to unlock the weapon system as soon as possible.
Facing them, they were just passively beaten, with no power to fight back.
Fortunately, these crows have little interest in chariots. Their only goal is blood.
Unlike zombies who are sensitive to sound, they are extremely thirsty for blood.
It can lock on targets that have lost blood within a radius of several kilometers.
After driving along the road for more than ten minutes, a large truck with its rails in the middle of the road appeared in Lu Chen's field of vision.
When Chase Lu passed a certain node, a group of people pulled a homemade spiked iron chain to block his retreat direction.
"Blocker." Lu Chen understood immediately after seeing this formation.
These people usually stop passing vehicles on remote roads to rob them.
He had the impression that he had heard of several robberies around Nancheng, but there had been no such incidents in recent years.
It seems that the advent of the apocalypse has also given some criminals the opportunity to return to their old ways.
The door of the big truck opened, and a scar-faced man sat on the cab.
He was facing Lu Chen's direction, with an arrogant and unrestrained expression, as if he thought Lu Chen was a piece of fat.
There were five people in total, Lu Chen secretly counted the number of people on the other side.
Except for Scarface, who was the most arrogant one sitting on the front of the big truck, there were two others around the truck, and two were zipping up the chain barricades.
Their weapons seemed to be only hammers and machetes.
The chariot gradually approached the big truck, and Scarface's smile became more and more crazier, as if he felt that he was bound to win.
Lu Chen suddenly kicked the accelerator, and the tank roared, speeding up rapidly, and rushed towards the big truck.
Looking at the approaching chariot, Scarface's smile froze on his face.
?
Are you playing Jiang Zi?
He wanted to jump out of the car, but it was too late.
"Boom." The tank hit the front of the truck. The front of the truck was completely deformed and separated from the carriage.
"Brother Qiang!" The two boys beside the truck shouted. This scene happened too fast.
After being hit like this, the Scarface was immortal and temporarily no longer able to move.
Chase Lu reversed out of the front of the truck and rushed towards the other boy.
The positioning of the chariot is extremely skillful, and only top drivers can drive such a trajectory.
Less than 10 meters away, the chariot had accelerated to a speed that would be fatal if it collided. The boy was knocked 10 meters away.
After the collision, Lu Chen adjusted the gear and reversed, knocking the boy flying in the other direction.
Then it rushed towards the two men pulling iron nail barricades, the chariot like a bloodthirsty beast.
And the space formed by these blockades has become its best slaughterhouse.
The two boys realized something was wrong, turned around and started running away.
The chariot rolled over the iron nail barricade as if it were on flat ground, knocking a young boy into the sky, and blood splattered everywhere.
Lu Chen suddenly stopped and saw that the last remaining person had run out of the road and ran towards the woods.
"Very smart." Lu Chen admired.
He lowered the window and pointed the muzzle of the Type 17 Glock at the man's back.
He relived in his mind the experience of shooting a toy gun as a child, and aimed intently at the back of the person's head.
"Bang!" The bullet came out of the barrel with a crisp sound, and the escaping man fell to the ground.
Lu Chen rotated the pistol on his fingertips, and then made a gesture of putting the gun back into his pocket.
It seems that my marksmanship is not bad, and this will give me one more thing to rely on in the last days.
? Something was wrong, Chase Lu found that the man stood up again.
He limped toward the woods.
Chase Lu had a dark look on his face and kicked his legs.
There was no time to recharge, and the man had already run out of the Glock's killing range.
Chase Lu would definitely not take the risk of getting out of the car.
However, I still feel a little uncomfortable because I missed one person and didn't kill him. What if someone comes looking for revenge in the future?
What's the difference between cutting the grass without eradicating the roots and not launching the project?
"Gah!" A hoarse cry eliminated Lu Chen's worries.
Yo oh, here comes the alien crow.
This area is not too far from where the alien crows were just discovered, and should be within their hunting range.
Lu Chen opened the panoramic sunroof, and three or two alien crows flew quickly in the sky.
Their increased size does not limit their mobility.
A crow was the first to attack, striking first at the injured area of the man's leg.
With the violent dive and the sharp beak, a large hole like the mouth of a bowl immediately appeared in his calf, exposing the pale bones.
The man fell to the ground in pain, and the attack of the other two alien crows followed.
Ordinary human bodies were as fragile as cardboard in front of them.
More cries came from the sky, and more and more alien crows came to this area.
The other corpses were also cruelly eaten.
The last person left was still conscious.
The attack of alien crows will not kill you instantly, they will disintegrate your will and make you live a life worse than death.
Lu Chen looked at the man rolling on the ground and shook his head. It would be great if I could die. Now it's miserable.
The alien crows accumulated more and more, and it was a black mass.
Some alien crows that had no corpses to eat flew to the hood of the chariot following the smell of blood and pecked at the blood on it.
Chariot damage: 99%. 98%
Damn, Lu Chen was shocked. The attack power of this crow was even higher than that of bullets.
When it was strafed by bullets before, the damage was not so fast.
And each attack of these crows can cause 1% damage.
If all the crows in the sky attack, the chariot will be scrapped instantly.
Lu Chen turned to leave. He didn't want to be the next target of these crows.
After driving out of the hunting area of the alien crows, Lu Chen accelerated towards Qingyuan Town. He wanted to upgrade!
The attack of the alien crows once again reminded him that the current chariot was far from invincible, and the unlocking of weapons was imminent.
In the early stage of the apocalypse, the zombies transformed by humans were actually the weaker existence among the virus-infected creatures.
Those animals that originally had full military power were the real threat in the early stage of the apocalypse after experiencing mutation.
Zombies will gradually surpass alien species only after awakening consciousness and superpowers in the later stage.
Upgrading the chariot is urgent! !
