Although he was feeling lucky, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not pray for Wan Qiang. Instead, he stared at the tall building, sincerely hoping that Wan Qiang would be killed by the Razor Arm Worm. The dust from the collapse of the tall building was like a fog, completely shrouding the area within a few hundred meters. Zhang Xiaoqiang was worried about Wan Qiang's life and death, but he saw a tall figure rushing out of the fog. Wan Qiang was holding the Razor Arm Worm in his hand. His body was split in half and he was panting heavily, as if he was very tired.
At this moment, Wan Qiang was in a rather sorry state. His hairy chest was full of wounds, and blood kept gushing out from the open flesh. His upper body was drenched in fresh blood. Coupled with the dust from the collapse of the building, the blood from the zombies, and the viscera and mucus from the Ice Beetle and Single Horned Beetle, he looked like a huge mud monkey. Wan Qiang did not pay attention to his image. After killing the Razor Arm Worm, he seemed to be very carefree. His originally broken vocal cords had also recovered. He roared a few times and put the Razor Arm Worm's corpse in his hand to his mouth and started eating.
Wan Qiang eating the Razor Arm Worm made Zhang Xiaoqiang a little surprised, but he did not take it to heart. He knew that Wan Qiang wanted to use the Razor Arm Worm's flesh to replenish himself. At this moment, countless Single Horned Beetles were flying back and forth in the noisy city. One by one, the Zombies had their chests pierced by the Single Horned Beetle. The black tide of zombies was dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang thought that the situation was already settled.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh …" The abnormality from before came again, but it was different from the last time. This time, it was even more terrifying. Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly raised his head and saw twelve indistinct arcs in the sky. He was shocked. There were still twelve Razor Arm Worms?
Before Zhang Xiaoqiang could finish his thoughts, a person beside him disappeared with a whoosh. Before anyone could react, this person had disappeared just like that. Only Zhang Xiaoqiang felt something flash past his eyes. While the others were looking left and right, Zhang Xiaoqiang raised his head to look at the sky. The person who had disappeared was being chomped on the head by the Razor Arm Worm and was flying towards the sky. The person's entire body was spasming, and it was obvious that there was no hope for him.
"Everyone get down, everyone get down …" Zhang Xiaoqiang shouted at the same time his heart was palpitating. If it was in China, the moment Zhang Xiaoqiang shouted, most of the people would have gotten down on the ground. But here, they were all foreigners. Only Wu Fan understood and hurriedly threw himself onto the ground. Just as his face touched the ground, a cold wind blew past him, followed by a blood-curdling scream. Wu Fan's body stiffened. He had never faced such an opponent before. He could not even see their faces clearly. Just a gust of wind could kill a person. Just as he was thinking whether he should raise his head or not, more and more people fell onto the ground. At this moment, even a pig would know that it was extremely dangerous to stand up. The next moment, the roar of a heavy sniper rifle hurt Wu Fan's eardrums. His head, which was stuck to the ground, tilted to the side, and he saw Zhang Xiaoqiang who was shooting.
The bladed-arm beetle's speed was extremely fast. If it did not catch its prey, even Zhang Xiaoqiang's dynamic vision would not be able to see it. At this moment, the flying beetle was dragging a living human that weighed more than 100 kilograms. At least Zhang Xiaoqiang could see the flying beetle's body. At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not know if he should feel lucky or regretful. He snatched the sniper rifle from the American evolver beside him and spat out fire without hesitation.
The Americans only pursued the power and caliber of their sniper rifles and did not pay much attention to the recoil. A 14.5 caliber sniper rifle could even break the shoulder blades of the most elite soldiers before the apocalypse, but it was still within the acceptable range for the Evolvers. When it landed in Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands, it was even more effective. The powerful recoil of this sniper rifle was not any stronger than a Type-81 rifle, and even he had suffered a little from the five bullet magazines. One shot per second, and in the deafening gunshot, the bullets flew out one after another, flying in the air. A hole the size of a washbasin suddenly appeared on one of the bladed-arm beetles' snow-white back. The hole pierced through the chest, and the person in the beetle's mouth was also blasted into two. Half of the body flew out like a rain of blood, and the upper half of the body was still connected to the falling body, dragging its intestines along with it. The person in the beetle's heart directly vomited. The beetle hugged the remaining half of its body and swayed for a moment, then suddenly threw away its food and prepared to escape, but another bullet blasted its butt, exploding from its head. At this moment, the beetle was completely dead, and it fell powerlessly from the sky.
The bladed-arm beetle that was killed by Zhang Xiaoqiang with two shots was still tumbling in the air. Countless scarlet dots of light noisily rushed into the sky and chased after the bladed-arm beetles that were biting the human. The bladed-arm beetle seemed to have received a warning, and at the same time, it threw away the human in its mouth and instantly disappeared in the rain of light and fire. The few hundred Evolvers on the ground all used the weapons in their hands to open fire at the sky. There were machine guns, automatic rifles, sniper rifles, and even pistols. Anything they had was used, causing Zhang Xiaoqiang to feel that it was a pity. If these people had reacted at the first moment and organized an anti-air firepower net to open fire at the same time, perhaps half of these beetles would have been left alive.
In the tight net of firepower, the bladed-arm beetles seemed to have disappeared. Countless of light rays flew everywhere in the dark sky until they disappeared into the distance. The bladed-arm beetles were not eliminated, but a lot of the one-horned beetles were lost. Zhang Xiaoqiang saw that the one-horned beetles were gradually being attracted over and knew that the situation was not good. He shouted loudly, "Quick, run!"
It was a complete mess. Wan Qiang did not know if he was dead or alive in the city, but Zhang Xiaoqiang's side was not any better. He was not afraid of the bladed-arm beetles, nor the one-horned beetles. If the two types of beetles were separated, he would have the confidence to deal with them. But now, he had no way to deal with them. There were many one-horned beetles, and the bladed-arm beetles were incomparably strong. They were like the best assassins hiding in the crowd of beetles as they sliced off the heads of the humans one by one.
Many people suddenly lost their heads while they were running, leaving only their bloodied bodies that kept running forward. Looking at the headless bodies running beside them, many people were so scared that their legs turned to jelly and they rolled on the ground, crying loudly. Zhang Xiaoqiang did not care about these guys who were crying. Right now, no one could care about anyone else. Whether they could escape or not depended on luck, not ability. Among the thousands of people, only a small number were targeted by the bladed-arm beetles. As long as they could keep running forward, they might still have a chance of survival.
Previously, Zhang Xiao Qiang had retreated to the edge of the city, which was not far from Simon's hiding place. There were a lot of Marines among them, so they were naturally very familiar with this place. After running for a short while, they heard a few guys shouting loudly. The team rushed into an underground drainage channel. This underground drainage channel was abnormally wide, and it was not crowded even when seven or eight people walked side by side. For a moment, everyone saw hope of survival, and used the last bit of their strength to rush towards the drainage channel …
The screams were still ringing, and those hiding in the drain could not hear it clearly. Every scream made those who had escaped fear. Zhang Xiaoqiang, Tie Zhongyuan, and Wu Fan were on the frontline, preventing the bladed-arm beetles from entering. Most of the people were exhausted. Killing the zombies and setting up the wires had kept them busy for the whole day, and they had been frightened again and again. Now that they had exhausted their last bit of strength, even if they knew that the drain was not safe, they were not willing to move further into the depths of the drain. Li Yuehan, who had taken off his helmet and was sweating profusely, and Lieutenant Colonel Byron walked out from the depths of the drain. Byron looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang and said in a low voice, "We have lost more than 50 evolvers, and we cannot rule out the possibility of some of them getting separated. I believe that even if they were separated, the chance of survival is not high. Luckily, Jima brought a lot of people to the power supply warehouse, or else the loss would be even greater …"
After Li Yuehan translated Byron's words, he immediately reported to Zhang Xiaoqiang, "The Americans have lost more than 30 people, and many of them ran away on their own. Most of them had amplified armor, and if they were careful, the chance of survival is very high. The Russians do not know the exact number of casualties, but we have seen Darhachi, and it seems that he does not dare to come out to see you. Colonel Simon has lost a lot of people, and at least 80 of them did not follow us in …"
Excluding the Russians, the three sides had lost at least 150 people, and it was believed that the Russians' losses would not be lower than that. Wu Fan was extremely happy, as his compatriots were too weak to cross the sea, and they were sent to the underground hangar to recuperate. Zhang Xiaoqiang listened to the loss report, and his heart was heavy. Tie Zhongyuan, who was sitting beside him, was a little impatient. He looked up at the darkening sky and muttered, "It's getting dark, what are we going to do tomorrow?"
