The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 77
Chapter 77 Corpse Bird Battle
“What’s going on? Tell me more clearly!” Zhou Weiguo’s expression immediately changed as he asked anxiously. The Thorned Snake Squad was his lifeline, so he couldn’t help but be nervous.
The Golden Ring Snake seemed to be unable to look back, “The day we arrived at LY County, we detected the whereabouts of Zhu Yifan’s subordinates. The captain sent Zhu Yeqing to follow them. Finally, we found their lair.”
“Next, the captain ordered me to lead the White-browed Abdominal Snake, Cobra, Black-browed Agkistrodon, Zhu Yeqing, and Rattlesnake to set up a sniper and kill fire point nearby. He and Silver-ringed Snake are both speed evolvers. They can come and go freely. The captain wants to capture Zhu Yifan alive and bring him back for your disposal.”
“Who knew that we and each other just a fight, near the hospital hundreds of thousands of zombies suddenly riots, the entire battlefield was surrounded.
“Captain-Five-Step Snake, Vice Captain-Silver Ring Snake died at Zhu Yifan’s hands.”
Zhou Weiguo said, “We suffered heavy losses. What about them?”
“Only a few ordinary evolvers have died,” the golden ring snake said. “Not a single one of the main members of the information has died.”
“How is that possible? How did they escape from the group of corpses?” Zhou Weiguo’s face was already a little pale.
“I don’t know,” the snake said. “I was tired of running.
Although Zhou Weiguo’s face was pale, he continued to ask, “Then how did you escape?”
The Golden Ring Snake said somewhat unwillingly, “I was sniping around with guns, and I was also a Third Grade power evolver. There weren’t many zombies in my location.”
“The rest of the team was dispersed and surrounded by the center of our firepower net. If it weren’t for the Corpse Tide riots, we would definitely be able to complete the mission.
‘”Ah… In the end, I was the only one who managed to rush out. The rest of the team members were drowned by the corpses. If I hadn’t run into Company Commander Sun, I would have lost too much blood and died halfway through the journey.”
“That Zhu Yifan is really that strong? Isn’t it the same for you to kill the Five-step Snake and the Silver Ring Snake by himself?” Zhou Weiguo’s face was already pale.
Krait nodded his head and said, “Too strong. The captain was cut into two halves within a few strikes of his hand. The Silver Ring Snake was devoured by his mutated snake. His special ability is very strong, like the earth element and like the metal element. The two of us basically have no ability to resist. We can’t even escape.”
Zhou Weiguo hatefully said, “Sooner or later, I will make him want to live and not die. He dares to go against me!”
In fact, Zhou Weiguo had nothing to do with Yifan. He wanted to please Zhou Tianyi, but in the end, he failed. He had lost his troops and lost generals. Now, he had to think about how to preserve his position. Right now, there were many people coveting his position in the military survivors’ base in C City before the end of the world.
After the apocalypse, although no one had spoken about these things, they were already naked in secret. Whoever grasped the power was the boss. Right now, his top priority was to quickly form his own team before the covetous people could react and stabilize his strength in the clan.
If the opponent in this base discovered that he no longer had any leverage, he would probably be swallowed up very quickly, not even leaving behind any bone fragments.
As for Zhu Yifan, although he had some strength, he was also lucky enough to encounter a corpse tide. Let him go first, show him goodwill, and let Tianyi deal with him himself in the future.
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Weiguo said, “Krait, from now on, you are the captain of the Thorned Snake Squad. The first task I gave you is to immediately absorb the evolvers from the C City Survivors’ Base who have not joined the military yet.”
“Whether it’s coercion or temptation, at any cost, just tell me what you need.”
“We must quickly form a complete Thorned Snake Squad. I will give you a copy of the information about all the evolvers in the military survivors’ base. We will talk to them at all costs. Do you understand?”
The Golden Ring Snake said seriously, “Understood, Team Zhou!”
Zhou Weiguo waved his hand weakly and waved the Golden Ring Snake away. The latter slowly walked out. The moment he turned around, there was a trace of a strange smile on his lips.
At 3pm on May 26, 2030, 20 days had passed since the apocalypse erupted.
The cruel scene of the apocalypse had long since spread out. Starting three days ago, various mutated birds and mutated insects began to appear in LY County one after another.
Today was Ji Ruoxue, Qiangzi, and Song Yixin leading a team to hunt zombies in a neighborhood near the hospital. They were currently fighting with zombies when suddenly, a loud chirping noise came from afar, like the cry of a bird.
Ji Ruoxue shouted with extreme alertness, “Not good, quickly follow me into the mansion. There’s a group of mutated creatures attacking.”
Qiangzi and Song Yixin also reacted very quickly. They quickly rushed forward to open the way for everyone. The old team members also knew how terrifying the social mutated creatures were. They retreated while fighting along the road. Soon, they retreated to a residential building on the first floor. Ji Ruoxue quickly blocked the windows and doors with ice.
“Chi chi chi chi chi!” The loud noise caused everyone to feel somewhat irritated. Ji Ruoxue and the others saw through the transparent ice and windows that the sky outside had suddenly darkened. A large group of birds the size of a washbasin flew towards them, covering the sky and the sun.
“Ding … Ding … Ding!” A few mutated birds flew over and pecked at the ice layer crazily. The ice layer was extremely hard, and the ice fragments pecked by the mutated bird flew everywhere, but the ice layer did not seem to be pierced in the slightest.
In a short moment, the small craters on the ice instantly returned to their original state. Moreover, the temperature on the ice was extremely low, and there were many zombies in the scene.
The mutated birds quickly gave up the little food in the cold ice and flew towards the zombie pack like lightning.
Everyone was relieved. They were all calmly preparing for a fierce battle. They could see the appearance of these mutated birds from a close distance through the ice.
The chestnut at the neck had already turned extremely dark, and the chestnut at the back was slightly lighter, decorated with black stripes.
There were large black spots on the left and right of his cheeks, and two white stripes on his shoulder feathers. The tail is small forked and light brown.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely frantic. His short, black, conical beak had now become long and sharp.
It had a hard iron hook at the front, dark gray tarsal metatarsals, strong claws, and extremely sharp claws. It looked like the beak and claws of carnivorous birds.
This was actually a sparrow. Everyone was a little shocked. Before the apocalypse, everyone knew and had even seen the most ordinary bird-the sparrow. It had actually grown so big and ferocious.
Next, Ji Ruoxue and the others watched a horror movie called “Corpse Bird Battle” happily. Both of them were bloodthirsty, savage, and fearless existences.
The moment they came into contact with each other, they immediately began to fight wildly. For a moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and corpses and birds chirped, interweaving into a bloody melody of blood and flesh, life and death.
In the eyes of the crowd, the mutated sparrows were bloodthirsty, ferocious, and extremely united. Generally speaking, there were several sparrows facing a zombie, but none of them could be seen alone. Their beaks were extremely sharp and could easily pierce through the zombie’s skin, pecking off pieces of meat.
The bird claws were like flexible iron hooks that easily grabbed the flesh of the zombies.
Of course, zombies weren’t vegetarian. They were also fierce existences that didn’t fear death. Tearing, gnawing, pouncing, bird feathers flying, flesh splashing everywhere. The two sides were inextricably linked. Tin, sharp blades, and fire corpses were all Second Grade zombies. There were even Third Grade zombies, but unfortunately, there were too many mutated sparrows.
A metal zombie had persevered until its body was covered in mutated sparrows and finally fell down. The flesh and blood on its body was quickly removed and swallowed into the stomach of the mutated sparrow.
A Tier 3 blade was quickly grabbed into pieces by a few Tier 3 mutated sparrows with a wingspan of a few meters, and they began to peck at it crazily.
The biggest threat to the mutated sparrows was the fire corpses that burned all over their bodies. Often, a fireball would burn a piece of the first-grade mutated sparrows to death. Even if they could not be burned to death, they would still die if they burned their feathers and fell from the sky.
Very few of the sparrows that were hit by the fireball fell from the ground. They continued to peck at the zombies beside them crazily with a burning smell. The larger second-grade mutated sparrows’ feathers were shiny and smooth. Even if they were hit by the fireball, the feathers were only slightly curled up and were not ignited.
It was clear that the fireball’s power was no longer a threat to them, unless it was struck multiple times. Clearly, their shiny feathers provided them with powerful defenses and a certain pit of fire.
A pile of Second Grade mutated sparrows flew towards the fire corpse. In a moment, the fire corpse turned into a blood-red skeleton.
Finally, the battle was about to end, but the zombies on the ground weren’t enough. The other party was a flying creature, and the number was dozens of times their number. Not many of the zombies had survived.
There were thousands of mutated sparrows that covered the heavens and the earth. How powerful were they?
In just 15 minutes, more than a thousand First and Second Grade zombies had all been eaten clean.
The ground on the battlefield was like a bloody rain, painted with a layer of black and red blood paint. Inside the blood paint were red and white zombie skeletons. The corpses of some shattered mutated sparrows were embellished within. They looked like scrolls of bloody documentaries, giving everyone a strange sense of beauty!
The mutated sparrow didn’t seem to peck at its peers, and in a moment, it left like a black cloud.
Qiangzi said, “Junior Sister Ji Ruoxue, this, this, those things just now are sparrows?”
Ji Ruoxue said, “Yes, they are sparrows. I just didn’t expect that they would become so bloodthirsty after mutation. These social mutated creatures with powerful reproductive abilities pose a far greater threat to humans than those individual mutated beasts.”
Song Yixin seemed to recall something shocked and said, “I can’t imagine what would happen to ants, mosquitoes, flies and cockroaches if they mutated.”
Qiangzi covered his head and smiled bitterly, “That scene is too beautiful. I can’t even imagine it. It’s disgusting to think about it.”
The crowd behind the three of them also recalled some scenes, and all of them had expressions of constipation.
Moments later, Ji Ruoxue, Qiangzi, and Song Yixin appeared on the battlefield where the bird corpses had just been battling. Such a bloody scene was good for the veterans. Although the reserve members had already come out to hunt for a few days, this was the first time they had seen such a bloody scene. Their faces were all pale.
Qiangzi, Ji Ruoxue, and Song Yixin didn’t feel anything anymore. Along the way, they had seen too much blood.
Ji Ruoxue said, “Everyone, quickly look around and see if there are any missing cores. Bring back the corpses of these mutated sparrows and bring as many as you can.”
“This is a rare meat dish. Be quick. The smell of blood here is too dense. Soon, other mutated creatures will take care of it.”
