“Brother c.o.c.kroach, don’t you have too few people?” He Wen Bin reminded him with a good intention. He had great confidence in Zhang Xiao Qiang against two S2s, but not so when Zhang Xiao Qiang and only three other people were up against more than 10 S2s. Back at the granary, He Wen Bin was almost eaten by the S2, and even Zhang Xiao Qiang had great difficulties against it. How many months has it been only?
Zhang Xiao Qiang nodded his head, “Get Chen Ye to follow us.”
Zhang Xiao Qiang sat in the machine gunner’s seat on the top and watched as 10 off-road vehicles and two large trucks drove towards leftwards of the sea of zombies.
“Bang…bang…” Two explosions occurred at the front and back of the dense horde of zombies. As the red light scattered, more than 10 pairs of limbs flew into the air. The shockwave from the explosions caused the zombies around to fall and was instantly trampled upon by their comrades.
The two high explosive rounds were fired 100m away from each other, but the radius in which was affected was more than that. The zombies that had a.s.sembled so close to each other prevented anyone from finding out exactly how many there were. As the saying goes “a hundred thousand people is boundless”. Here, the zombies definitely numbered far more than ten thousand. The vast number of zombies made it look as though they had poured out from the horizon like a black wave.
(TN: I have no clue on what that saying is. It’s literally saying a population of a 100 thousand is boundless.)
If, the zombies numbered a few hundred or a few thousand, two 70mm high explosives right in the center would empty out 2 10m circles. If they were lucky, it would also induce a temporary mess in the zombie horde and disrupt their moving speed.
And it was only possible in a situation whereby a sea of zombies that comprised of countless zombies moved together that two powerful and high explosives would be like two stones dropping into a marsh. Aside from a few ripples, it would not leave a trace.
Looking at the endless sea of zombies, Zhang Xiao Qiang became somewhat confused. He was confident in the might of the Type-92 mortars, which he used to destroy the rats. The rat tide was nowhere smaller than the zombie horde, and the rats were even faster than them.
But Zhang Xiao Qiang never thought that the difference in size would affect the result of the blasts. The shockwave caused by one high explosive bomb was strong enough to lift all the light weighted and smaller rats into the air and the majority of them would be flung about. But it was different for the zombies, although their bodies had lost most of the moisture content, they still weight at least 10kg. The force produced by the explosive was absorbed by the surrounding zombies. As the zombie horde moved constantly, the empty s.p.a.ce produced by the explosion was quickly covered up.
At a location where Zhang Xiao Qiang had no vision of, a half-meter bomb crater emitted smoke. Various zombie limbs were scattered in the vicinity, mixed with charred soil. The air around the crater was slightly distorted due to the heat, and behind this slightly distorted s.p.a.ce, a wall of darkness moved extremely slowly.
It was a large zombie with black and dried skin. The two large hands with blades as claws gave off sinister auras. This zombie was not fast and slowly moved like a wall, towards the edge of the crater where a Type-D zombie with half of is body remaining struggled on the ground.
It used its two strong and powerful arms to crawl on the ground. After losing its two legs and the ability to stand on its own, it crawled and howled, constantly receiving the response from other Type-D zombies around. All the zombies around moved on silently, while this particular zombie continued crawling, crawling towards an unknown location.
Concentrated rows of parallel black thighs appeared behind its back. These countless zombies inched forward as soles slowly pushed off the ground, where only darkness could be seen between the s.p.a.ces of the legs. No one knew how many zombies were following along and moving together, just that this black wall of zombies trampled over the Type-D zombie.
The Type-D Zombie grabbed onto a leg and pulled the owner down with it. Before the ordinary zombie could even struggle up, countless legs trampled over them. That was how half a Type-D zombie and the ordinary zombie drowned to death.
A zombie stumbled into the crater as it stepped into it. Another zombie followed behind. Following that, the same wall of zombies trampled over them, to the point that they became a filler for the crater.
Layers upon layers, rows upon rows of zombies formed the horde that resembled a silent army. The zombies, like a mountain, staggered towards Zhang Xiao Qiang, making it feel as though the off-road vehicle he was on was merely a blade of gra.s.s on the mountain.
“DA…..DA….DA….” When the horde was 800m close, Zhang Xiao Qiang pulled the safety on the Type-54 12.7mm AA gun and fired at them. Zhang Xiao Qiang’s enhanced eyes and strength gave him the advantages to become a gifted firer. His spray with the gun was so accurate that it could be compared to a sniper.
Although the off-road vehicle was b.u.mpy, Zhang Xiao Qiang’s sharpshooting skills were not affected in the least. The long and glowing 12.7mm bullets penetrated through the hordes. Every five bullets would follow up with a tracer round that unleashed a bright and dazzling light.
The front-most zombie instantly exploded into five pieces. Before the body parts even dropped to the ground, the zombie behind it had its chest blast apart. After the first zombie, four to five other zombies in the straight line were blown apart into incomplete corpses.
“BANG….” The high-velocity 12.7mm bullet penetrated a few zombies and finally exhausted its thrust. The slightly deformed bullet ignited the explosive within it and burst a zombie into pieces that burned and fell onto other zombies.
Of course, the amount of incendiary within the bullets did not amount to much, but the penetrative power of the 12.7mm bullets was not something a 7.6mm bullet could possibly compare to. If a HMG was enough to unleash a wall of bullets to prevent zombies from taking a step closer, the 12.7mm AA gun was effective enough to be a meat grinder within a kilometer distance.
All the zombies that were tagged by Zhang Xiao Qiang were left as incomplete bodies, aside from a few lucky zombies that had their bodies split right into two. The majority of zombies had their limbs separated from their bodies, and every 12.7mm bullet Zhang Xiao Qiang unleashed was strong enough to penetrate through a minimum of three to five zombies, and even reach up to eight zombies.
The 12.7mm explosive bullets that were capable of penetrating through a 10mm steel plate at an 800m distance unleashed a storm of bullets that shredded the zombie horde. The zombies either exploded in flames, or their bodies were burst into multiple pieces.
