- Chapter 47 Ghost Shadow
"The most terrifying monster in the world is human beings."
This seems to be a motto said by a certain ancient sage.
The two jagged low mountains facing each other side by side on both sides of the road are like the sharp fangs in the mouth of a poisonous snake, always ready to devour any prey that wants to cross the Black Saliva Pass.
Maintaining an even distance from front to back and not slowing down at all, the convoy rushed into the steep valley that stretched for dozens of miles amidst the roar of the engine.
Standing behind the heavy grain bag, Lin Xiang clearly felt several very slight but unusual air fluctuations coming from a distance.
"Get down quickly¡ª¡ª"
Before he finished speaking, a row of sharp bamboo spears, with a sharp trembling sound, roared from both sides of the mountain a hundred meters away, piercing the heads and bodies of the two guardians who could not escape on the spot. A mixture of red and white sticky slurry splashed on the thick grain bag and slowly dripped down.
In an instant, including Wang Biao and Lin Xiang, there were only three guardians left in the grain truck running at the front.
¡°Pay attention to guarding the carriages on both sides, don¡¯t let them come up¡ª¡ª¡±
them?
Lin Xiang subconsciously turned sideways and glanced at the road passing by outside the guardrail on the left.
Dozens of skinny black figures rushed towards the truck from the gentle slope of the valley ahead. They were about the same size as ordinary people. Under the depression formed by the eyebrow arch and nose bones, a pair of eyes exuding a cruel aura were revealed. Layers of bandages and strips of cloth covered every corner of his body, even his fingertips and joints, like a mummy crawling out from the bottom of a pyramid.
¡°Oh my God! It¡¯s actually a radiation ghost¡ª¡ª¡± The guardian standing nearby screamed in fear.
The nuclear explosion destroyed the environment that humans depend on for survival. The first survivors who walked out of the shelter were quickly infected by the radioactive dust remaining in the soil and air. The mutated cells desperately devoured all the nutrients in the host body, and the terrible radiation tumors and polyps began to fester. In order to prevent the infection from continuing to spread, the cold people threw the injured kind out of the shelter, leaving them dying to lie in a bed full of radiation. The wilderness has become delicious meat for giant rats and poisonous insects to gnaw on.
No food, no water.
Desperate patients can only drink filthy rotten water full of radiation to quench their thirst. They could no longer take care of so many things. Instead of dying of thirst, it would be better to let the ailing body rot even more completely, allowing the terrible radiation to enter the body, dyeing all the internal organs that were almost losing their function into a heart-stopping green.
No one thought that crazy actions would bring unexpected results. When the entire body was filled with radiation cells without any gaps, the former humans broke through the barrier of death and evolved into another new mutant creature.
The radiation that penetrated into the bone marrow dyed the skin and muscles a sticky and disgusting rotten green. In order to avoid the terrible ultraviolet rays, they sneak into the ruins of old cities and wrap themselves in thick strips of cloth. The cruel living environment allows them to retain their human eating instincts and at the same time start to hunt various creatures to obtain various trace elements necessary for the body from fresh blood and flesh.
They completely gave up their former human identity and chose an evolutionary path of living and dying with viruses.
They are the same kind that have been abandoned by humans. They are "radiation ghosts" who can never face the sun and can only live in dirty shadows.
"To humans, this terrible creature can only do two things - deep-seated hatred, and heart-rending revenge.
Dozens of black shadows quickly approached the speeding truck. The body wrapped in bandages is extremely strong, and the slender fingers have a powerful climbing ability that is not weaker than that of a spider. The moment their palms touched the car body, the strong inertia dragged them off the ground on the spot, but they could not get rid of these uninvited guests who were sucked to their bodies like leeches.
The guardians immediately picked up their firearms, rushed to the guardrails on both sides of the car, aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.
Wang Biao is right. The knife has no effect at all at this time.
The nimble-moving Radiation Ghost doesn¡¯t give its opponents any chance. The powerful hind limbs cooperate with the support of the wrists to roll over and jump from the vertical wall. Like an agile meerkat, it jumps sideways into the car from an incredible angle. Without waiting for his feet to stand firm, he pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist and thrust it into the guardian's back with a grin.
"Boom¡ª¡ª"
Lin Xiang accurately grasped the opportunity and pulled the trigger hard. The scattered shotgun engulfed the whole body of the radioactive ghost. The dense steel balls tore the bandages and tore the flesh. The smelly organs surged out from the breach in the chest and abdomen. Amidst the harsh sound of bones shattering, the slender body was separated from the waist, and was dragged out of the carriage by the scattered flesh.
Five vehicles were attacked at the same time?.
The radiation ghosts did not deliberately entangle a certain vehicle, and they were not so greedy that they wanted to keep the entire convoy. As long as they could get a truck of food, their goal was achieved.
As long as they are not allowed to rush into the car, they can firmly occupy the firepower advantage. Obviously, this is not the first time Wang Biao has faced this kind of creature.
Lin Xiang hugged the wooden support in the middle of the gun body tightly, and his eyes quickly scanned the all-steel guardrails on the left and right sides. Shotguns are extremely powerful in close combat. No matter which angle the Radiant Ghost jumps into the carriage, he will be the first to be attacked by him.
"Boom¡ª¡ª"
The thunder-like sound of gunshots drew Wang Biao's attention from the front of the car - a radioactive ghost that had just climbed onto the car and had not yet landed on its feet had its head smashed to pieces by the huge impact of the shotgun, and rolled through the air. It fell to the side of the road.
Quick reaction, just the right shot.
"This guy who looks dull is actually so strong."
Wuxia was not surprised by the scene in front of him. Wang Biao murmured, holding the assault rifle flat in front of him, and pulled the trigger towards the radioactive ghost in the second truck following him.
The guardians on every vehicle were fighting back desperately, and the dwindling number of radiation ghosts began to become restless. They jump into the carriage desperately and bite their opponents with their claws and teeth. There were bursts of screams from the cars behind. The twisted body of the guardian was thrown out of the car, as well as bags of heavy grain bags stained red with blood.
The cabs of all trucks are locked by all-steel guardrails. Unless the driver opens it from the inside, even ordinary bullets cannot penetrate it.
The target of the radiation ghost is food. They must empty all the food in the carriage as quickly as possible.
Directly ahead, you can already see the exit of the Black Saliva Valley.
The truck roared and rushed out of the valley mouth with four wheels off the ground. The engine was running wildly due to the accelerator, using all its energy to drive the car body speeding on the road. Ten minutes later, the convoy entered the rocky wilderness, and the lead car began to slow down. Soon, five trucks were connected together and slowly stopped in the middle of the road.
"Get out of the car and kill them¡ª¡ª"
Wang Biao roared and jumped out of the car, aiming at the radiation ghost on the third car away.
This place is far away from the dark area where the radiation ghosts live, and it is impossible for them to chase them too far out of the Black Saliva Pass.
The guardians on the third and fifth cars were all killed. Five radioactive ghosts stood in the mid-air car, staring at the people surrounding each car with wolf-like angry eyes.
In the eyes covered by black bandages, there is still unforgettable hatred.
When the opportunity for a sneak attack is lost, there is no comparison between cold weapons and bullets.
The dense gunfire covered the radioactive ghost's dying cry. The heavily armed guardians did not give them a chance to get close to them, and directly blasted them with volleys of guns. Green blood seeped out from under the bandage, exuding a rotten stench that almost made people vomit.
The capacity of a double-barreled shotgun is only two rounds. When Lin Xiang took out a thick cylindrical bullet from his pocket and was about to press it into the barrel of the gun, a cold barrel slowly touched his vest.
Turning around, the guardian who was riding with him had a cruel and proud sneer on his face.
"Of twenty people, only the two of us are still alive. If you die, the captain and I can share all the rewards equally. Hahahaha! That's a lot of money¡ª¡ª" - Didn't finish reading?
