"Such a long distance?!"

Everyone looked at the oil tank again. The latter was about two short streets away from the dangerous building where they were currently staying. At this distance, let alone shooting, it was difficult to see the target clearly. Even with the help of

With the assistance of a high-magnification scope, hitting the target accurately at this distance is also a big test for the sniper's skills.

The time you hold your breath, the wind speed of the air, the trajectory of the bullet...

Many aspects need to be considered accurately in actual combat.

Coupled with the flocks of birds circling in the sky, Changfeng had no chance of trial and error in this quiet situation.

Once he fires a shot, even if there is a silencer to reduce the sound, the sound will definitely be noticed by the birds in the sky. If the shot does not hit the oil tank, everyone will be in danger because of his mistake!

This is no longer an ordinary difficulty, but a super big bet on everyone's life!

In fact, Changfeng is not 100% sure of success, but facing a dangerous building that is about to collapse, this is the only chance he can provide to his team!

After taking down the sniper rifle, Changfeng twisted his neck, then turned to everyone and said:

"Please feel free to leave it to me."

Then he set up the sniper rifle on the windowsill.

The butt of the gun was placed on the shoulder, a silencer was installed, and after adjusting the focal length to a just right distance, Changfeng rested his finger on the gun body on the right side of the trigger.

Inhale, exhale...

Changfeng calmly adjusted his breathing rate. In order to hold his breath better, he had to control his emotions at this moment.

Everyone watching around also held their breath at this time. In terms of pressure, they were no less relaxed than Changfeng now.

The mutated birds hovering in the sky occasionally emit sharp screams. The harsh sound waves are the most terrifying screams in this city. The collapse of the dangerous building has become more serious due to the explosion just now. Just when Chang Feng was aiming, the first floor has collapsed.

A piece of gravel.

There isn't much time left.

Everyone's hearts were already in their throats at this time. If they didn't move quickly, all of them would be buried deep into the ground together with this building.

But Changfeng still didn't pull the trigger at the moment. He tried hard to confirm all predictions, and he wanted to ensure that there were no mistakes in his calculations.

Lime fell and scattered on Changfeng's helmet. There were also gravels hitting his head, interfering with his positioning and aiming. However, Changfeng remained unmoved at all. He just quietly inhaled and exhaled with the rhythm of his breathing.

Being controlled by him, he was like a dead person, unable to feel any ups and downs.

Finally, thirty seconds later, Changfeng put his finger on the trigger. The moment his fingertip touched the trigger, he pressed it hard without any hesitation!

boom--

The sound of the silenced gunshot was still loud. The bullet came out of the barrel and headed straight for the inconspicuous light red figure in the gap between the buildings!

The exhaust gas from the tail of the bomb quickly passed through the smoke-filled air, and the torn trajectory hit the corner of the oil tank!

The moment the bullet penetrated the iron sheet, sparks were generated by the friction between the body and the corners. This was an extremely tricky angle. After Chang Feng's careful calculation, it was just enough for the bullet to detonate the accumulated gas in the oil tank!

A loud noise of "Boom——" exploded, and the birds in the sky were immediately attracted by the rising fire. The billowing black smoke surged wildly as the explosion unfolded. In just a short moment, it occupied the area.

It covers half of the sky above the city.

Other surrounding oil tanks also reacted with the explosion, and the chain impact destroyed two nearby old buildings with a history of a hundred years. The foundations of these buildings that had been in disrepair for a long time were inherently unstable, and they were subject to a series of rapid and violent impacts.

After that, a complete collapse soon occurred.

Dust mixed with black smoke, the gas station where a number of oil tanks were placed quickly turned into a prairie fire, and the surrounding buildings also turned into ruins. Birds swarmed over, relying on instinct to search for the source of the sound.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone quickly escaped from the collapsing dangerous building. Just ten seconds after everyone escaped, the dangerous building began to completely collapse, but within a moment it became a mess of rubble.

"It's too dangerous..."

Looking back at the rising smoke and dust, everyone's hearts were covered with a layer of dark clouds. If Changfeng hadn't taken decisive measures just now, everyone would have been buried here forever like the corpses in the building.

After escaping for quite a distance, everyone really relaxed. There was no sign of a flock of mutant birds passing by in the sky. Even if one or two birds occasionally flew by, they didn't notice the "ants" like them on the ground.

It seems that he escaped...

Even Xiaolan, who had always been calm, couldn't help but wipe away the nervous sweat at this time. Everything just happened so fast, and looking back now, it was like a nightmare.

But alas, this is not a nightmare.

There were thirteen people in the group, four of whom were buried here forever.

Four temporary graves were built with gravel and soil on the roadside. This was the last kindness that everyone could leave to their dead companions.

"Let's go."

After patting everyone on the shoulder, Muyu's tone became a little more somber.

After saluting the four simple grave bags, she quickly returned to her role as captain.

"It's time for us to move on."

Everyone reorganized the team.

In this dilapidated ruins of the past, a group of nine people continued their journey.

Their first priority now is to join the others.

Although I don't know the current situation of other teams, I guess it won't be much better.

The danger level of this ruined city far exceeds the base's predictions. Without the escort of combat aircraft, it may be difficult for any team to successfully reach their destination.

Apart from the birds in the sky, the situation on the ground is not very peaceful either.

Some primate-like creatures were wandering around, wrapped in tattered isolation suits.

Everyone followed the navigation beacon brought down by the pilot of the carrier aircraft and passed through several streets along the way. In almost every street, there were such deformed human-like monsters wandering around.

The flesh under their tattered clothes had bleeding blisters, and the faces of some of the creatures were covered with herpes.

Some of them were even dripping with water, making them wet all the time.

Qu Xiao did not have any memory or cognition about these disgusting creatures, but Xiao Lan in the team explained to everyone:

"These are parasitized corpses. They were all dead humans, but after death they were parasitized by a mutant bug called a 'demon spirit'. These bugs can reactivate the activity of the brain nerves of the corpse.

As long as the corpse's neural structure is intact, it can be controlled and moved."

Qu Xiao was confused when he heard this: "Won't these corpses dry and rot? This city has been around for hundreds of years. After so long, why are there still such things in the city?"

"The previous group of people must have died long ago. The parasitic humanoids we see now should have appeared in recent times. Pay attention to their body surfaces. There is fresh mucus attached to them, which means they

She was just born, and her body's various functions are still in the process of recovery." Xiaolan replied.

The old manager interrupted at this time: "So you mean, someone else has entered the city recently?"

Xiaolan nodded, then raised his hand and quietly pointed at the clothes on the body of the parasitic humanoid in the distance: "Looking at the clothes, they must be heretical. They may have come in to rest, or they may have come in to find resources, but no matter what

What is the motive here? They are all dead now. As long as they sense us, these parasitized corpses will definitely attack immediately. The flesh and blood on our bodies can replenish themselves to a great extent, and we want to kill them.

They must destroy their brain nerves."

"Why do you know these things so well?" The driver turned around and looked at Xiaolan and asked doubtfully, "Is there such a thing recorded in the base archives?"

"Of course it's not in the archives, but this kind of creature has always existed in the pre-apocalyptic era. I also learned about it through the store's magazine. This technology was not a hidden thing at the time."

"Can this kind of thing be disclosed to the public?!" Qu Xiao felt very incredible. He always felt that research related to "biochemical experiments" must be conducted in secret.

"As long as the level of scientific and technological development increases, the public's acceptance of so-called 'immoral behavior' will also increase. This is a very common phenomenon and is nothing to be alarmed about."

"But if this kind of biochemical experiment is disclosed to the public, won't it cause panic in society?"

"I remember that the report mentioned that the human living bodies selected were prisoners who had committed serious crimes. Letting these people suffer and then die should be a very easy thing for the public to accept. As for what you said

Panic... Panic has always existed in the society of every era. You feel that the society at that time was ridiculous now, but it is just because you look at the problem from the current perspective."

"Then since it is an organized research, there should be a special way to deal with this kind of creature, right?" Muyu suddenly thought of another aspect, "If we encounter a large-scale attack, is there any way to fight against it?"

"Unfortunately, no."

Xiaolan shook her head.

"At least based on my current understanding, this kind of creature has nothing to fear. Apart from blowing their heads off, there is no way to prevent them from attacking."

"Then do they have hearing or smell?" Qu Xiao then asked.

Xiaolan nodded, "Yes, their hearing is not strong but their sense of smell is strong. In fact, compared to their eyes, these creatures rely more on their sense of smell to move. This is what I want to tell you - as long as you hide your

Smell, traveling among such creatures is actually not particularly dangerous."

"Then how do we hide our scent?"

"It's very simple."

Xiaolan pointed at the parasitic humanoid in the distance.
