Doomsday magician

Chapter 272 Mutated Zombie Bird

Xu Bai's voice was not too loud, but it carried unshakable firmness.

Everyone on the huge convoy held their breath, listening to Xu Bai's words.At this moment, their experience seemed to appear in front of their eyes: being chased and killed by zombies everywhere, in a state of embarrassment, without any sense of security in their hearts.This kind of encounter is indeed not what they want.

"Once upon a time, when I evacuated from the Sichuan-Tibet base, I told myself to find a stable home, and I didn't want to run around anymore. On Gushan, we also made enough efforts to protect our home. Unfortunately, in the end, we were rejected. Zombies attacked from both sides and were forced to come here. At one point, I also thought that I would live here forever. However, various reasons still made me make a reluctant decision—to evacuate this lake area.”

Everyone could hear Xu Bai's unwillingness, and this also aroused their sympathy.If it wasn't forced to be helpless, who would want to leave the familiar lake area under the attack of zombies?

Having said that, Xu Bai paused for a while, and then continued to say that the place we are going to is Taihu Lake.The environment there is much better than that of Changshan Lake, and it is enough to support our development.I've had enough of wandering around under zombie attack, so I swear here in front of everyone that this will be our last migration.And the Taihu Base will be our permanent home in the future, no matter what, I will swear to protect it.”

"Sworn to protect the homeland"

The excited Su Xirui yelled out first, and then Yuliu Baozi, Xu Bai's other subordinates, and even the entire alliance all yelled out.The voices of 4000 people floated on the lake area. Although they were not neat, they were full of firmness and expectation.

Staying in the last days for too long, everyone wants a home that allows them to live a stable life before the last days
"Then, let's go"

Seeing that the words had achieved the expected purpose, Xu Bai gave the order for the convoy to move forward.Led by the armored vehicle formation of Xu Bai's convoy, the huge convoy started slowly, heading towards Taihu Lake in the east, or in other words, towards their future and hope
It was a rather difficult migration.

Because the convoy was so big and bloated, they were advancing rather slowly.Even though the intelligence personnel of the garrison had repeatedly selected the best route in advance, they still needed to clear the way from time to time.If counting the elimination of zombies on the road and the cars that were left behind due to breakdowns from time to time, the average forward speed of the convoy could not even reach forty kilometers per hour. That's because Xu Bai installed a magic circle on the convoy.Otherwise, there would be ten times more zombies attacking them all the way than now

After half a day, the convoy has only driven more than 200 kilometers.This means that it will take them at least three or four days to reach Taihu Lake.
Long-distance travel is easy to make people feel tired, especially the threat of zombies that may be encountered at any time.Although the magic circle can block the prying eyes of distant zombies, they can only detour or fight if they don't encounter groups of unintentionally wandering zombies.Under the constant mental concentration, after only one day, many survivors felt physically and mentally exhausted, and they no longer had the energy they had when they set off in the morning.

Xu Bai couldn't do anything about it.

Fortunately, when they made the plan before, they never thought about rushing overnight.Seeing that everyone was in poor condition, Xu Bai gave the order to rest early.So, the convoy drove to one of the previously selected rest points nearby, and started camping and cooking on the spot.A series of bright car headlight pillars temporarily cut through the night sky, taking on the main lighting task.

The alliance troops who had already arranged security tasks began to take up their posts with guns, and the elite team also took on the task of patrolling.In order to ensure that zombies would not sneak in in the dark, Xu Bai also placed warning scarecrows in many places.This kind of cheap props has appeared since he entered the great magician, but he had never used it before.

After the emergence of the third-order zombies, many survivors in the convoy were sleeping in the wild for the first time, and they were inevitably a little nervous.Even though they knew that the team had taken careful precautions, they still felt a burden in their hearts. When they closed their eyes, they felt as if there were zombies staring at them in the dark.The inexplicable pressure makes it difficult for most people to fall asleep.Even if you barely fall asleep with a good heart, you will suddenly be awakened by sporadic gunshots and explosions.

The direct result of this is that most people have dark circles under their eyes when they wake up the next day.

On the whole, however, the night was uneventful.After all, the place they chose had very few zombies, plus there was a magic circle, and the zombies that could hit were only a few wandering unconsciously.

After a simple breakfast, the convoy started on the road again.

Compared with yesterday's journey, today's convoy is undoubtedly more dull, and there are fewer people talking on the intercom channel.Those who chatted all day yesterday seemed to have exhausted their energy and saliva, and it took a long time to start a new topic.However, they had nothing to say, which did not mean that other survivor convoys who happened to pass by had no topics to talk about.On the contrary, seeing such a large-scale convoy, the other survivors were all surprised and discussed where such a convoy heading east was going.

The next day's night camping was still at the place I had found in advance.

Compared with the previous night, the mentality of the survivors today is much more balanced.Most survivors were able to sleep through the middle of the night, although some sensitive individuals still stayed up all night.The guards and supernatural beings in charge of security did not disappoint them, they firmly guarded the safety of the convoy, and did not let in a single zombie

During the long journey, the convoy gradually narrowed the distance with Taihu Lake.It will take at most another day for them to reach their destination.

Seeing the hopeful survivors visibly become active, the intercom channels were refilled with various topics, but the most common one was the discussion about the Taihu base.However, just when everyone in the convoy thought they could complete the journey smoothly, the leading armored vehicle formation suddenly sent an emergency warning

"A large number of zombies are ahead, the number is estimated to be more than [-]"

This sudden news surprised everyone, and Xu Bai jumped out of the warrior even more nimbly, and jumped all the way to the front along the bumpy vehicle.From here, he can already see the black mass of zombies at the end of his line of sight

"parking"

Before he understood the situation, Xu Bai didn't dare to let the convoy advance rashly, so he immediately issued an order to stop advancing.Perhaps many survivors thought of the possibility of parking when they were warned by the zombies, so after Xu Bai gave the order, the entire convoy stopped quickly without dragging its feet.

The zombies on the opposite side didn't care whether Xu Bai and the others entered or stopped, they wandered this way without the slightest hesitation.

"Captain, our location is very bad. This is the widest road nearby. If we want to take a detour, I'm afraid we will have to walk dozens of kilometers. Although there are other small roads nearby, they are not enough for our size. The convoy passed." Leopard followed Xu Bai up and announced the news.

"That is to say, we must fight?"

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, his expression remained unchanged.As the zombies approached, he could already clearly see the size of the group of zombies, which was about [-].For them, this number of zombies is not the slightest threat, but it greatly delays the speed of their convoy.
However, people are stuck on the only way, no matter how troublesome they are, they will fight

Following Xu Bai's order, a group of people from the garrison got out of the car and joined the elite team to attack the zombies head-on.The people in the second and third regiments are responsible for the security of the two wings, preventing zombies from attacking the convoy from other directions.Such an arrangement does not dare to say that it is foolproof, but it also minimizes possible risks

It only needs to get rid of the [-] zombies in the front, and the convoy can move on.

In the eyes of any survivor in the convoy, the outcome of this battle is a certainty, without any suspense.But it was such a battle that should have been resolved quickly, but a huge change occurred halfway

A group of tens of thousands of zombie birds flew from a distance. When Xu Bai and the others were exchanging fire with the zombies on the ground, they immediately circled over their heads, looking like they were about to launch an attack.However, no one noticed that under the cover of countless zombie birds, a mutant zombie eagle king with a huge head and a wingspan of three to four meters lowered its height and began to swoop down to attack the convoy

"That is?"

A combatant who inadvertently raised his head saw the terrifying monster. It dived at an extremely fast speed, like a fighter plane that lowered its altitude and wanted to straf.That ferocious aura immediately made him cry out in surprise, this was the first time he saw such a huge zombie bird

However, his warning sound came a little too late.Under the cover of hundreds of ordinary zombie birds, the mutated zombie eagle swooped down to the ground at an extremely fast speed, then flapped its wings, and had an extreme lift, and grabbed a hapless survivor from the ground with its two claws. By

After a shrill scream, the man's body was torn in two, and then he was thrown down from the air.

"Where's the flamethrower? Hurry up and take out four groups of people, ready to attack in the air"

After the Mutated Eagle King killed a person, more and more survivors noticed this guy. Leopard and Yuliu were also the first to command their men to attack the zombie birds in the air.In an instant, more than [-] flamethrowers obtained from Jingzhou's secret arsenal were set up, aiming at the low-altitude circling and diving zombie birds and strafing.

All of a sudden, the sky filled with zombie birds were ignited by the flames, screaming and turning into balls of fire and falling from the sky.

However, this level of flame attack is effective against ordinary zombie birds, but it has no effect on the terrifying zombie eagle king
