Chapter 022 Massacre
The whole kilometer-long cross-sea bridge has been crowded with bustling citizens. Looking up, you can hardly find a vacant place to settle down. Opposite the bridge is a long row of military fortresses and defensive buildings, with at least 400 explosion-proof policemen, machine gun bunkers and four tanks, which are really copper and iron walls.
Obviously, those policemen did not intend to release...
The three drove another distance and had to abandon the car and walk. A large number of cars piled up at the intersection, blocking the whole road.
"What a coincidence, everyone met again." Suddenly, there was a crisp voice next to it. Turning around, it was the first female elf archer to escape yesterday evening against the mutant evolutionary body.
For this kind of cold woman who chooses to escape at the wrong time, the three of them have no good faces, and the fat man snorted and his nostrils to the sky to show disdain.
The silence did not seem to see the dark faces of the three people, and said pitifully:
"I did not do anything wrong last night, but we couldn't kill that monster at all, and we just died in vain... By the way, how did you escape from the monster? What about Land Rover?
"Well, I'm afraid this is the question you want to know most," Xiao Pang snorted and turned his head. "Brothers have a lot of lives. Don't worry about it!"
"hehe." She smiled silently. She, who was good at observing words and colors, had seen that the two were vaguely centered on Lin Xiao and were silent for a moment and said:
"Lin Xiao, I know you are a very smart person. What are you going to do next? Is it that your first points task has not been completed yet?
"Thank you for the praise," Lin Xiao bit the apple and waved his hand, "Although these zombie points are pitifully few, I can't stand the number of people I kill. I have completed the points... But I naturally have another task to do released by Nightmare Space.
"What task? Can it be shared? The female archer's eyes flashed and smiled, "I also have a task at hand. If you want, we can share the task."
"I'm sorry," Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head, "This task is a personal task that dominates the release. Although I can also seek your help, the final reward is not yours... So, are you still willing to share your tasks?
(Mission sharing, when the adventurer feels uncertain about completing the current task, he can sign a temporary contract with other adventurers to carry out the same task together. In this way, due to the increase in the number of people, the difficulty of completing tasks will naturally decrease, but in the same way, the rewards for assigned tasks will also be reduced.)
In a word, the female archer was immediately silent. Lin Xiao didn't care either. He waved his hand and smiled:
"This is not urgent. Let me observe the environment here first. If there is anything, we can talk about it later."
The three walked slowly along the river bank. Although the explosion-proof police blocked the other end of the cross-sea bridge so that citizens could not pass through, it did not mean that they abandoned so many people. On the other side of the bridge, there are also explosion-proof police patrolling back and forth, and helicopters roaring through the sky from time to time, always alerting against any crisis. Often, as long as a zombie appears, it will be blown up by large bullets.
After writing down the general position of these patrol police, Lin Xiao rubbed her eyebrows and hesitated for a moment. Then she turned to the place where she stopped and enlarged the pile of cars. After communicating with the wrenches lying in the trunk of the car, she quickly pulled out a special head from her younger brother who was subdued by it. The evolved zombie came out.
This is a slightly fat zombie, only 1.5 meters tall and round, with duck-like crays on the soles of its feet. It is one of the zombies that can move in the water. In order to prevent being killed by the explosion-proof police, the subdued little brother is moving slowly outside the extreme control distance and has not attracted the attention of others for the time being.
At Lin Xiao's instructions, he directly ordered the zombie to get into the water and quietly swim to the other side of the river. This cross-sea bridge is built at the mouth of a big river. Although the water flow is not rapid, there is a distance of hundreds of kilometers on both sides and even dozens of meters deep, so no one will venture to cross the river.
When the "duck zombie" swam halfway, Lin Xiao then dispatched an agile zombie who was already ready to move and quietly followed the road to the crowd gathered at the intersection. This zombie has an environmental mimicry ability similar to a chameleon. Even adventurers find it difficult to find its existence without launching an attack.
This zombie has already been tortured by hunger and irritable. Although it has restrained under the deter of "handling", the grinding teeth and fishy breathing clearly prove the hunger and thirst in this guy's heart. After being signaled, he immediately activated his stealth ability, like a ghost phantom to avoid the police's detection, and quietly touched the crowd.
I have to say that this mutant zombie has the potential of a top hunter. In the process of hunting, it showed unprecedented patience. The journey of more than 1,000 meters lurked for more than ten minutes. When it was only seven or eight meters away from a housewife at the end of the team, it finally howled. With a sound, he rushed out with lightning speed...
The population on the poor bridge is really too dense. Although many people carry guns with them, the fang-toothed zombies are originally agile zombies. In addition, the angle of culling is extremely clever. Therefore, although the gunfire was loud for a while, few of them really hit the fang-toothed zombies, but most of them are It was bombarded on other innocent fleeing citizens. In the rain of bullets, many innocent people were hit by stray bullets, and people fled in a panic, but made the agile mutant zombie more like a fish in water.
Lin Xiao and the three stood in the corner and observed the movement near the bridge. With the killing of fangs and zombies, the originally friendly and orderly order exploded in an instant, and the crowd was like ants that had been destroyed by the nest.
Zombies! It's that kind of mutant zombie!"
"Run! Run! Don't be bitten!"
"Go inside quickly and let the army protect us!"
"Ah! Don't bite me..."
Even Lin Xiao did not expect that this fang-toothed zombie would have such a big impact, like a drop of ink dripping into the water, but in an instant, the crowd that was densely gathered on the bridge was like a sand castle hit by a big wave by the sea, directly dispersed. Countless people shouted and ran around in a panic, and many unlucky guys were hit to the ground. Without even a hum, they were trampled into mud by the turbulent crowd.
Everyone has a sense of fear. Maybe there are only a few people who are really bitten by zombies, but fear is like a spark on the grassland, spreading with the momentum of ignition and quickly burning from the end to the front. The turbulent crowd stirred crazily, and instantly drowned the riot police who came to maintain order, and even the waves could not turn over. Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao sighed gently and knew that the chaos was inevitable.
"The inferiority of human beings..."
It's not that the more people there are, the safer it is. Sometimes acting alone is a greater chance of survival. In the face of such a situation, only by quickly finding and killing the source of infection can solve the problem. Unfortunately, everyone knows the truth, and there are several... The desire to seek profits and avoid harm makes them prefer to follow the people around them rather than face the relatively weak zombies.
"Puff!" A middle-aged man with a big belly was sweating profusely. He squeezed on the edge of the bridge and couldn't retreat. He gritted his teeth, but jumped directly from the bridge to the river below. A few seconds after a free fall, a ball of water splashed on the water and swam to the opposite bank under the gaze of everyone.
With the first leader, the originally panicked crowd, they jumped from the bridge into the river like dumplings.
At this time, the citizens who were bitten and scratched by the fangs have also turned into ordinary zombies. They struggled to stand up and follow the breath of flesh and blood and run to the crowd in front of them.
In just a moment, the last section of the bridge completely fell into chaos!
For the tragic situation on the bridge, Lin Xiao just looked a few times, turned his head and stared at the patrol policemen across the bridge.
Sure enough, under the influence of the rear zombie invasion**, the crowd in front of them, which was originally quiet, finally panicked, turned into a turbulent tide, and rushed to the defense circle formed by explosion-proof police.
"Damn it, let's go in!"
"Aren't you public servants of the people? There are zombies in the back. Why stop us!"
"Get out of here, you bastards who should go to hell!"
There are shouts, curses and roars everywhere, and countless citizens are entangled with explosion-proof police to rush into the military defense zone for protection. After all, staying outside means death.
Things are constantly escalating, all kinds of riots and * have gradually broken out, and even grumpy young people have fought with the police.
I'm afraid it's hard to imagine that kind of psychology for people who have not faced the fear of death. The kind of anger, madness and hysteria that know that death is behind it, and taking a step forward is the way to live, but the way to live is blocked by people.
When people fall into madness, the original morality, law, discipline and principles can all be abandoned and degeneous from individual consciousness to collective consciousness. Even if you temporarily replace individual consciousness with collective consciousness, you will only follow the actions of others, even knowing that there is a fire pit in front of you, you will not hesitate to jump into it. It's like a fanatical believer in the Middle Ages would jump into the fire just because of the Pope's words.
For this state, it is also an extreme manifestation of the "crowd" psychology in psychology. Although it sounds unthinkable, it is true. It seems that in this state, human IQ is infinitely degraded, leaving only the last obsession.
At this time, even if there is a cliff ahead, jumping down will definitely die, but as long as one person takes the lead, others will definitely jump down without hesitation, even if they know that there is a dead end ahead...
