Twenty-four uninvited guests flashed in the middle of the sea of blood. Twenty balls of flames and explosions surrounded Zhang Xiao Qiang. At this moment, he was like a small grasshopper caught in the eye of a hurricane, rolling around without any resistance. Countless shrapnel overlapped and formed a killing fan with no blind spots. Zhang Xiao Qiang was in the center of the fan. The Rat King's Blade exploded to its limit when he was frightened. It was like a synchronous satellite that had reached the speed of light, circling around him as much as possible to block the scattered shrapnel. The Firebird Scimitar was covered by the back of his head. His whole body was like an armadillo as countless shrapnel tore off his flesh. He didn't even have the time to curse, he could only bitterly beg for this storm of explosions to pass as soon as possible.
He didn't know if it was a second or a minute, but Zhang Xiaoqiang was holding onto a steel beam that was embedded with shrapnel. Even he didn't know why he was holding onto this thing. The steel wire around his waist had long since been blown off, and the Rat King Blade was nowhere to be seen. Even the Firebird Scimitar was no longer in his hands. His face and hands looked like they had been dismembered, and the flesh that had been peeled off made him look even more terrifying.
His brain was constantly buzzing, and his ears couldn't hear the sounds outside. He was surrounded by smoke and flames, and a large amount of smoke was coming out from the sixth floor. As for what happened to the blood phoenix, Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't care less. He was in a trance, and he didn't even know why he was there. Only the strong wind from the helicopter's rotors prevented him from suffocating to death.
"Pu …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang coughed out a mouthful of black blood, and the bitterness in his mouth made him slightly sober. He raised his head and saw a blurry scene behind the steel beam. A D3 zombie was circling around in the thick smoke, and the scattered books and documents were all ignited by the flames. There was a hole in the wall, and there was a person wrapped in a layer of light green smoke. The person's body was covered in a layer of green smoke, and it seemed as if it was emitting poisonous gas. Around him were scattered pieces of sofa and bookcases that were burning in the corner of the wall, and the fire had already reached the cables.
Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly remembered the fight just now. He wanted to climb to the top of the building to kill the blood phoenix, but his hands were no longer listening to him, and they were holding onto the steel beam without moving. Even his nails were flipped over, revealing the bloody muscles underneath. Other than his hands, his whole body felt like it was soaking in magma, and there wasn't a single muscle on his body that wasn't twitching. The floor that was filled with glass fragments was only 50 centimeters away from him, and this short distance had become an insurmountable moat.
"The corrosive source is very powerful, the corrosive source is omnipotent, the blood phoenix must die …"
Other than praying, there was nothing Zhang Xiaoqiang could do. The good thing was that the blood phoenix wasn't completely unscathed, it had just been ambushed by the corrosive source, and its armor had been blown away by the rocket. Now, its whole body was wrapped by the corrosive source, and there was no water source for it to bathe. The D3 zombie was circling in the thick smoke, and the pungent smoke had caused the zombies to lose their most sensitive sense of smell. No one knew what the zombies were looking for, but they just wouldn't leave. Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't care less about the zombies, he just stared at the blood phoenix that was wrapped by the corrosive source. The blood phoenix wasn't completely inactive, even though its whole body was wrapped in cables, it didn't stop struggling. The corrosive source wasn't only corroding the blood phoenix, it was also corroding the cables. Just as the blood phoenix was about to break free, two D-type zombies came out of the building. One of them was a D4 zombie, it was almost five meters tall, and the height of the room couldn't accommodate it. It waved its claws and tore the floor above its head. Even if the bricks and stones fell on its body, it wouldn't be able to stop it at all.
Other than the zombies, Zhang Xiaoqiang's body was surrounded by a river of blood, flowing against the current towards the blood phoenix. He turned his head and saw countless blood vessels flowing along the outer wall. The blood was under the control of the blood phoenix, and it was like a river flowing into the sea, flowing towards the blood phoenix. This made Zhang Xiaoqiang anxious, if the blood phoenix didn't die, the sea wouldn't be peaceful. The tens of millions of zombies were the blood phoenix's backup plan, and god knows how many more people would die in the hands of the blood phoenix …
In a moment of desperation, Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly thought of the helicopters that had launched the 24 rockets. He turned his head and couldn't help but curse. The helicopters that had caused such a disaster had all taken to the roof, and it seemed like they were looking for a place to land. Did these guys have no brains at all?
Zhang Xiaoqiang cursed, but he had wrongly blamed Huang Tingwei. At the last moment, they recognized Zhang Xiaoqiang, or else it wouldn't have been 24 rockets, but 36. These 36 rockets were originally controlled from the helicopter platform, and once they were launched, there would be a vacuum. No matter how strong the blood phoenix was, it would still be torn to pieces. If that was the case, Zhang Xiaoqiang might not be able to survive.
Huang Tingwei didn't think about continuing the fight after causing such a disaster, and in a fit of anger, he actually wanted to land to rescue Zhang Xiaoqiang. For a moment, the 10 helicopters were all gathered on the roof, and Zhang Xiaoqiang was blasted into the steel beam by the explosion. His surroundings were charred black, and it was hard to distinguish him from the black smoke. No wonder they couldn't see Zhang Xiaoqiang's current appearance.
Zhang Xiaoqiang stared helplessly at the Blood Phoenix that was so close to him. The helicopters above were getting ready to land on the building, which made Zhang Xiaoqiang even more anxious. His cursing had attracted the attention of the zombies who were looking for the Blood Phoenix. Seeing the zombies walking towards him, Zhang Xiaoqiang stopped cursing and turned his head to look for a weapon. Suddenly, the sound of a machine gun firing could be heard from the rooftop. Countless thick brass bullet casings rained down from above, brushing past Zhang Xiaoqiang's body as they fell to the ground. Zhang Xiaoqiang glanced at the Rat King's Blade that was embedded in the steel beam about ten meters away from him. Although there was only one of it, it was enough to restore his confidence. Zhang Xiaoqiang's heel kicked one of the casings, causing it to change its direction of descent and hit the hilt of the Rat King's Blade. The Rat King's Blade flew off in another direction, but the rebounding casings circled around the Rat King's Blade and hit the steel beam that Zhang Xiaoqiang was hugging. Zhang Xiaoqiang roared and grabbed the bamboo hilt of the Rat King's Blade with his right hand.
Huang Tingwei was in a daze as he forced Pavel to descend. The helicopters around him were also preparing to deploy their co-pilots to rescue Zhang Xiaoqiang. At that moment, more than 20 armed men came up to the rooftop, followed by more than 10 D3 zombies. Machine guns and rocket launchers exploded on the rooftop. Unfortunately, the D3 zombies were not something that could be killed by ordinary weapons. Even the Type 37 anti-aircraft guns could not damage them. They charged into the midst of the armed men and tore out chunks of flesh. Huang Tingwei immediately regained his composure. He gave the order to leave the building and was ready to descend to search for Zhang Xiaoqiang. However, he did not expect an ear-piercing scream to come from below. The zombies who were enjoying their slaughter threw away the pieces of flesh in their mouths and turned around to run down the stairs.
Most of the armed men were killed by the zombies. Only three of them were hiding in the innermost area. They were lucky enough to survive. Two of them were weak and powerless. Only one of them, dressed in a military uniform, waved at the helicopters. When one of the helicopters was about to descend, the officer shouted, "Get us out of here, there's only 5 minutes left before the explosion …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang hugged the steel beam with one hand and gasped for breath. He glared at the Blood Phoenix, who was being eroded by the blood. He loosened his legs and slid down to the street. There was not much time left, the Blood Phoenix had summoned the zombies in the building. After killing a D3, Zhang Xiaoqiang could not do anything to the D4 that was in front of the Blood Phoenix. The Blood Phoenix was frightened by the death of the D3 and summoned all the zombies in the building to its side. The Blood Phoenix was not completely eroded by the corrosion. Zhang Xiaoqiang controlled the blood water to wash away the corrosion. Although it could not completely eliminate it, it gave him some time to breathe. The entire building was rigged with bombs, and Zhang Xiaoqiang had no choice but to give up on the idea of killing the Blood Phoenix.
As soon as he reached the street, Zhang Xiaoqiang fell to the ground. He did not feel it when he was above, because if he let go, he would fall. He was still able to hold onto the steel beam. But when he reached the bottom, all the muscles in his body spasmed. The wounds on his face and hands made him feel excruciating pain. Not to mention, the sweat on his body was corroding the wounds.
Zhang Xiaoqiang rolled into the pile of corpses on the ground. Countless corpses were stacked on top of each other on the street behind him. He did not feel it when he was far away, but now that he saw 8,000 headless corpses stacked on top of each other, it made him break out in a cold sweat. There were less than 3 minutes left before the explosion. Zhang Xiaoqiang already felt a great sense of danger. If he stayed where he was and the building collapsed, he would not be able to survive even if he had nine lives. He struggled to stand up and staggered outside. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind came crashing down on his head …
