chapter-1933-5
The sound of a special class zombie excited the Pandawans. For the past ten minutes or so, they had been fighting only regular zombies which did not prove a challenge to them with the occasional scare that happened to them when they opened the doors a little too quickly. Upon hearing the word special class, their blood was pumping to the point where they wanted to smash through the floors and go to the floor where Page and Diaz were.
Naturally, the response time to request fire for effect turned into actual firing when the special class zombie started to walk closer to them. Diaz still had her gatling gun on her and she already threw another hail of bullets towards it as Page ran at the side, narrowing and avoiding the stream of bullets. But as she got closer, Diaz stopped her gun allowing Page to shoot hers instead. They were not giving any quarters for the special class zombie to recover even as it started to defend itself with large burly hands and a rather fat physical body.
However, as things started to look positive and the special class zombie looked as if it had been defeated, Page noticed that it was moving at all. If it had been sprayed by that many bullets, it should have at least tilted to the side in pain rather than staying stationary considering most of its weight has been centre at its abdominal area.
That was when Page started to get suspicious and moved nearly while changing her magazine. She did not dare to confirm the killing of the special class zombie until she knew that it really stopped moving. It was only at that point that those burly arms started to swing by which forced Page to perform a quick dodge by squatting. Those arms smashed through the corridor walls and doors like it was paper.
But even though it was destroying the corridor like paper, the debris still scattered and hit Page. Diaz moved away just in time and subsequently forced herself through the corridor to rescue Page. She did panic a little to see her buddy fainted but the worry was all for naught when she became about in less than a second and followed with a uppercut that forced the zombie to lose its arms.At that point, it gave Diaz a bit of a shocker to see her buddy revive so quickly, and later remembered that she was not just some 'combat medic'. Her modifications had given her superhuman strength and her ability to manipulate Mechanoids. The Gunzerker had forgotten that Page was a Mechanoid herself too and that means she was also 'eligible' to manipulate herself.
"So much for caring," Diaz said as she saw Page return to normal so quickly despite seeing the debris breaking an entire part of her face away.
"Thanks for caring." Page smiled back but later realised that the fight was not done as the Special Class Zombie moved backward. It was at that moment that both of them understood it was not just moving away, something actually popped out from the back of the zombie and later caused the fat zombie to deflate like some open balloon.
It was at that point where there was no need for Diaz and Page to be in action as they saw the other portion of the Special Class Zombie decided to dash out of the corridor and send itself jumping over the parapet. While there was time to react to put some bullets into the running special class zombie, the bullets did not affect it in any way. It was there that the Special Class zombie landed in the empty space outside of the building that they were in.
"It is running. North side." Page reported and the Pandawans quickly moved their asses to the northern corridor where there was a balcony on every floor to overlook the parapet. Is that how all special class zombies look like?" Yue Han asked but the Grey Bears simultaneously gave a no for the answer. Subsequently, only Yinn explained that all the special class zombies as their title had stated, were special in their own ways.
"It seemed like this particular zombie is a runner of some sort." Page added. "And the bullets we fired had no effect on him. Either that or it is extremely tenacious that it is able to move around without the worries of injuries."
With that information, Tellie took the conjecture to the test as her scope was already trailing the zombie and decided to take a shot at its thighs to see whether she could slow it down. But because of the distance, the zombie was accumulating through its dashes, Tellie had to remove her silencer to increase the accuracy of her shot.Thus, when the shot went through, the sound echoed through the entire town as if warning every single zombie in the area that the Raid Team was around. It was a calculated risk that Xiong Da had given the permission to fire as Tellie did request permission to perform such an act.
Sure enough, the bullet reached its intended target, plunging itself into the flesh of the special class zombie's leg. And yet, the zombie continued to run without care of the injury that it had incurred. The only difference that it does not know is that the bullet was a tracing round and Tellie was able to effectively track where the special class was running to despite the lack of information around the outskirts of Badaling city.
All they knew was that the tracker was working and the special class zombie ran the hell out of the way. "How long does the tracker stay online?" Xiong Da asked as he felt that it was a waste to see the special class zombie out of their grasp.
"The signal should be live for at least a week. I can send you the coordinates and the tracking web app through the Pandamonium App even after our contract is done." Tellie said that she had the assumption they were not going to chase the special class zombie when their main objective was to clear the building.
But as they lamented their loss for not being able to get the special class zombie, there was a loud howl that came beneath them. That was when the zombie started to get a little irritated. They seemed to be more sensitive to the unusual movements that the Raid Teams had been making and were going toward the building.
Bu Dong wanted to rush by diving down from the high floors of the apartment building and make a huge impact against the zombies but Xiong Da had already predicted that and spoke up before Bu Dong was able to perform any actions.
"No. Just no." We are going to clear this place systematically as mentioned. The floors that are cleared means that we have control of the area. If there is a need to move away from the horde, we will know that the floors have been cleared and there will be no zombies ambushing us." Xiong Da explained and Bu Dong had no choice but to be compliant because his leader made sense. Even the Grey Bear Squad had the same agreement with him.
Despite the agitation they saw in the eyes of the zombies, and they could sense that there was activity in that apartment block the Pandawans were in, they were not moving at a murderous pace to reach their destination. Therefore, they still had time if they were to calm down and move logically.
If Bu Dong had based on that howl and dived into the masses of zombies that were outside of the building, he might have been able to create a spectacular technique move with the amount of chi he could generate during that dive. But once that move had been done, he would be alone surrounded by zombies with little to no cover. Sure, there may be buildings around which he could hide but he had to contest with the remaining zombies before he could reach for cover.
And would Yue Han, Xiong Da, or the other Grey Bear Squad members would come to rescue him after his moment of glory? Likely not. The only thing they would do is pour some lead to the zombies around him, in hopes that he could get into cover soon.
Perhaps, he could qing gong his way out the moment he reached for the roofs but do not forget that there were zombies lurking everywhere and even the rooftops were not safe from them. They could be hiding in the vents or corners.
Thankfully, none of those happened as Xiong Da was in control of the situation and the team. Bu Dong was obedient enough and Yue Han followed orders to the dot as he knew how deadly zombies can be in a group setting. Thus, they continued to clear floor by floor as per their initial strategy until someone met up with that loud howling special class zombie.
