Zhang Xiaoqiang was half lying on the ground. He arched his back and looked into the distance at Zhuo Mingyue, who was dressed in a short kimono. He smiled and turned his head to spit out a mouthful of blood. He shouted at Zhuo Mingyue, "I'm done for … Kill them all and avenge me …"
"Bang …"
The right side of Zhang Xiao Qiang's face shook violently as someone kicked him. His vision turned black and he could no longer hold on. He fell on his back on the uneven ground. The immense dizziness caused his vision to blur. Compared to the pain in his left arm and right leg, the pain in his head was even greater. His entire brain felt like it was being mixed in a soy milk machine. The voices that came from beside him were dragged out infinitely until they stopped.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes were weak, and he shook his head slightly. It looked like he was about to faint. Just as the voices around his ears became clearer, a low and angry shout came, "Shoot …"
"Whoosh …" "Hmph …"
The sound of arrows rang out, and Zhang Xiaoqiang's left leg immediately went numb. Then, he felt a sharp pain. Before he could understand what was happening, his right arm, which was supporting the arrow shaft, was kicked away and fell heavily to the side. Another person shouted, and the bowstring sounded again. In Zhang Xiaoqiang's dynamic vision, a sharp arrow crossed the short space and pierced through his shoulder blade. The rotating arrowhead tore apart the military uniform and continued to penetrate deeper. The long arrow shaft disappeared inch by inch. When the arrow shaft stopped, Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but curse, "Killing is just a matter of nodding your head to the ground. Everyone, please do it quickly …"
At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang finally understood Luo Dazuo's feelings when he begged for mercy. He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of being unable to live or die. Wasn't he like that now?
No one paid attention to him, and the ten arrows were still pointed at his heart. The low and hoarse voice shouted again, "Throw away your weapons, take off your clothes, put your hands on your head and lie down … or else …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang was nailed to the ground by the arrows, and he looked up at the blue sky. He never thought that this day would come, and he never thought that he would be killed by a group of humans. He thought of all the ways he could die, being eaten by zombies, being torn apart by high level zombies, dying together with mutated beasts, or even being shot to death, or being blown up by rockets. Among all the ways he could die, the only one that didn't include being nailed like Jesus and being tortured to death.
However, even if that was the case, Zhang Xiao Qiang did not feel any unwillingness or anger. His heart had long since settled down. He had experienced countless life and death situations, countless bloody massacres. Be it zombies or humans that had died at his hands, they were uncountable. At this moment, he thought back to his house in Y-City, the old house that his parents had left behind for him to get married.
There weren't any relatives in the house, but there were the memories of his previous life, and it was the place where his soul returned to. The environment he was in was the worst he had ever been in his life. He had experienced many ups and downs in the past, and even at the last moment, he still had a slim chance of survival. But now, there were ten sharp arrows pointed at his head, and he didn't even dare to blink.
His four limbs were nailed, and besides his left arm, his two legs and right arm were nailed to the ground. Let alone struggling, he didn't even dare to tremble. Once he moved, he would feel a piercing pain. He looked up at the sky powerlessly, waiting for the countdown to end.
He naturally heard the shouts around him, but he didn't have any hope. This was a dead end, and the only one worth capturing was Zhuo Mingyue. Although he had shot many people, his ability was too ordinary, and his proficiency with firearms wasn't anything special. As long as Zhuo Mingyue put down her weapon and surrendered, he wouldn't even have any value as a hostage. With the Funeral Helicopter and the Debilitating Ray Gun, there were plenty of ways to control Zhuo Mingyue.
"Don't hurt him, if he gets hurt even a little, I'll …"
"Silly woman, even if you do it, I'll still die. They don't care about me, they only care about you … Ah!"
Zhang Xiaoqiang interrupted Zhuo Mingyue's shouts and was about to remind her when the bowstring sounded again. A sharp pain came from his lower abdomen. He didn't even need to look to know that the arrow had nailed into his abdomen. He didn't know if it had broken his intestines, but the intense pain made him unable to shout anymore. He clenched his teeth and broke out in a cold sweat, waiting for the pain in his lower abdomen to dissipate.
Hot blood flowed along the wound and formed a pool on the ground, soaking the ground beneath him. The wet clothes clung tightly to his body, making him feel uncomfortable. If he had a choice, Zhang Xiaoqiang would rather take off all his clothes before dying. At least he would feel a bit more comfortable.
He had never been in such a dangerous situation before, and it made him lose all hope. For him, this moment of relaxation made him feel at ease. Although there were too many regrets, it wouldn't cause him too much confusion. He was originally a heartless little person.
"Born naked, and die naked?
Not bad, huh? "
At this moment, his mind was unprecedentedly clear. All he could think about was things related to death. Aside from that, there were also a few people he cared about that flashed through his mind: Yang Ke-er, Yuan Yi, Meow, and his unborn child.
"Don't hurt him!
I'm willing to hand over my weapon … "
Hearing the trembling in Zhuo Mingyue's voice, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt a little grateful, but he blamed Zhuo Mingyue for her stupidity. If Zhuo Mingyue had turned around and run, You Yinhua wouldn't have been able to catch up to him. Instead, she would have taken him back for treatment, which was the only way for him to survive. However, he didn't think that Zhuo Mingyue would do the same, and according to her intelligence, it was indeed the case.
Thus, there was only one choice left. Zhuo Mingyue would kill You Yinhua, and You Yinhua would kill him, giving him a quick death. At the very least, she would be able to avenge him. The worst choice was for Zhuo Mingyue to surrender, which was the worst.
Compared to Zhuo Mingyue's abilities and her non-human identity, once exposed, she would be treated as a rare treasure by the New Era. Not even a strand of her hair would be able to harm her. As for the unimportant Zhang Xiaoqiang, he became the focus of their interrogation, and all kinds of torture would be used. Zhang Xiaoqiang wasn't a determined underground party member, so he naturally said whatever he wanted. However, he knew too much, and once his true identity was discovered, the consequences would be a disaster. Thus, Zhang Xiaoqiang would rather die.
Just as he was feeling anxious, two whistling sounds could be heard, and two muffled sounds could be heard. The sharp Rat King Blade and a broken sword were stabbed into the ground not far from him. Looking at the small Rat King Blade that Meow had given him, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart began to beat violently.
The Rat King Blade's extension ability had always been the method that Zhang Xiaoqiang used the most. It was not comparable to the HMG, as it was light and flexible, and had great destructive power. Furthermore, there was no need to change bullets. Zhang Xiaoqiang might have used the HMG to kill more ordinary zombies than the Rat King Blade, but when it came to dealing with D3 zombies, the HMG was definitely not as good as the Rat King Blade.
At this moment, the Rat King's Blade was not far away from him. Unfortunately, he was nailed to the ground by five long arrows. If it was his limbs, it would be fine. Even if he had to tear apart his muscles, he would still be able to break free. However, he did not dare to move the arrow in his lower abdomen. Who knew if it would tear his intestines out?
No one cared about the small Rat King Blade, it was even smaller than a fruit knife. The large Rat King Blade became the target of the Yinhua team leader. He went forward to pick up the Rat King Blade that had broken the three alloy swords. Looking at the smooth cut, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. No wonder even the alloy shield could not block it, it was a precious mutated material.
"If you let him go, I can retreat with my troops and compensate you for the damage …"
Zhuo Mingyue would not really do as the Yinhua team said. Letting her take off her clothes in front of so many people was ten thousand times worse than killing her. Fortunately, over a thousand fully armed soldiers rushed over from behind, causing the remaining 60 Yinhua soldiers to turn pale. Just Zhuo Mingyue alone was not easy to deal with, let alone over a thousand armed soldiers behind her.
Yinhua's military uniform had a bulletproof function. 7.62mm bullets and below would not be able to cause any damage. Only a large caliber machine gun could easily penetrate their defense. Coincidentally, the armed forces that had just taken over the logistics base had obtained quite a number of machine guns.
Not counting the one that Zhang Xiaoqiang was carrying, he had taken out 12 machine gun teams. That was 12 large caliber machine guns. Not to mention that the armed forces already had a lot of Type 54 anti-aircraft machine guns, these machine guns were all mounted on steel bulletproof trailers and pulled by manpower. Flexibility and accuracy were guaranteed, it could be considered as a good grafting method.
More than 30 new and old 12.7mm machine guns were aimed at them. Let alone New Era, even Zhuo Mingyue could not guarantee that she would be safe. Thus, the two sides were in a deadlock.
"Who are you people? Why are you attacking our supply base?
Where's the person in charge of the base?
Tell him to come see us, and all the captives you have captured … "
"Phew …"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had been breathing and thinking, finally let out a sigh of relief. He had calculated everything, but he had missed out on Zhuo Mingyue's subordinates. In other words, he had overestimated the strength of New Era's regular army that was sweeping the battlefield. He thought that New Era's soldiers would quickly come up and take control of the battlefield. Once they took control of the mountain, Zhuo Mingyue would be at a complete disadvantage, and no matter how many people they had, they would not be able to attack the position.
Zhuo Mingyue sneered, but her psychedelic eyes kept looking at Zhang Xiaoqiang who was lying in a pool of blood. Behind her, thousands of fearless and numb armed forces were already in position. With You Yinhua's hesitation, the follow-up troops were bringing over all kinds of weapons. When the three meter wide mechanical crossbow was brought over, no one could keep their calm and take a step back. The power of the mechanical crossbow was not necessarily stronger than that of a heavy machine gun, but no one could be sure that they could dodge it. The suppression of this thing was much stronger than firearms.
"Now we can talk. Let him go, and I will let you go. Otherwise, you will be buried with him …"
Zhuo Mingyue crossed her hands.
A pair of bright and dazzling eyes inadvertently swept past Zhang Xiao Qiang, and the instant she looked at the other Yinhua evolvers, her eyes were filled with killing intent.
