Everything in this world, whether good or bad, becomes commonplace with enough exposure. In the past, even Witerson II would have felt uneasy in such a situation, let alone Lin Yi. But now, everyone had learned to remain calm; during the most dangerous times, it was essential to suppress fear and think clearly about how to respond.
What troubled Lin Yi now was that the commander had not taken him seriously at all; he suspected he might not even have the right to speak.
However, unexpected events often occur. What one assumes will happen may be entirely different for others. Just as Lin Yi was unsure how to coordinate the firepower, a voice came through the speaker:
"Mr. Lin, you have experience dealing with these guys, so I'm handing the team over to you!" It was Bullet Scar Man's voice, and he spoke as if it were completely natural, without any hint of hesitation.
Lin Yi cursed under his breath at the other's attempt to shirk responsibility. However, rather than follow his orders, it would be better for him to take charge himself. With that thought in mind, Lin Yi's mind began racing as he considered what to do. The current situation was dire: a massive horde of beasts was charging forward, and if they continued advancing, they would be engulfed by the tide of beasts and face total annihilation. To their left and right, zombies were also relentlessly attacking; they were gathering in large numbers on both sides. Meanwhile, the zombies behind them were less numerous due to their constant pushing forward.
"Commander, since you've entrusted this to me, I expect you to execute everything I say immediately!" Lin Yi wanted to ensure that Bullet Scar Man wouldn't cause trouble like Paul did before by undermining his authority.
"No problem; that's exactly what General Khaki wants!" The response was straightforward.
Upon hearing Kachi's name, Lin Yi felt a mix of emotions. He sensed that once again he had been thoroughly manipulated by that old fox Kachi.
"Alright, everyone turn the vehicles around; the rear vehicle becomes the front vehicle and vice versa. We'll break out from behind!"
The first priority was to avoid the oncoming beast horde and break free from the encirclement. At this moment, the military's technical skills and coordination were put to the test. Lin Yi and his team felt a sudden jolt as their vehicle came to a halt for less than half a second before executing a complete 180-degree turn. The entire vehicle vibrated violently from the abrupt maneuver as if it might fall apart at any moment.
Lin Yi's team was positioned at the very back and had now become the vanguard vehicle. After turning around, Paul immediately accelerated and a massive triangular blade extended from the front of their vehicle.
A few zombies that had been chasing Lin Yi's truck were caught off guard when it turned around with lightning speed. Those unable to dodge crashed headfirst into the newly extended triangular blade with a series of sickening "thuds," sounding as if they struck something solid. The unfortunate zombies were cleaved in half, their dark organs spilling out onto either side of the truck, creating a nauseating stench.
Everyone shouted "Good!" as they quickly took their positions to defend against zombies on both sides of the vehicle. The following vehicles swiftly stabilized their defenses on either side as well. At this moment, no one dared let their guard down; those zombies would seize any opportunity to pounce on their convoy and devour everyone!
Lin Yi's marksmanship still needed improvement; thus, Flower Cannon climbed onto the roof of the vehicle to prepare for any ambushes that might arise. Agile in movement, Flower Cannon had already squeezed out of the window with a Laser Gun slung over his shoulder just as Lin Yi finished speaking.
If things were really that simple, everyone would be happy. However, the vibrations behind them grew increasingly intense, clearly indicating that the herd of beasts was not running slowly. Although Paul wanted to speed up, the relentless Zombies on both sides were continuously obstructing the vehicle's movement. Chunks of flesh splattered across the windshield, forcing Paul to activate the wipers to clear away the dark red remnants. The entire vehicle had become a massive meat grinder, with most of the Zombies that lunged at them being shredded into pulp by the rapidly spinning steel blades.
There were too many Zombies; even though the vehicle's lethality was astonishing, they were still bogged down by the Zombies' reckless abandon. Moreover, the fuel was insufficient to maintain maximum speed for long. If they couldn't escape in a short time, they would be left waiting for death.
"Do you have anyone to pick us up? It's hard for us to get out on our own!" Lin Yi shouted into the speaker while desperately firing the Flame Gun.
Bullet Scar Man seemed to be encountering some trouble, responding breathlessly after a few minutes, "I just sent a message to headquarters. I don't know what the situation is like; all I know is that I almost got rammed by a buffalo that's already Corpseified!"
Lin Yi stifled a laugh and asked, "How's it going over there?"
"The herd is much faster than ordinary Zombies and has greater vitality! Just now, several hungry wolves were burned into fire wolves and kept running; they almost set our vehicle ablaze!" Bullet Scar Man gasped for breath, clearly having run into tough opposition.
Lin Yi had considered splitting their convoy into two columns for better maneuverability, but that would mean half their firepower would be ineffective and they would be breached even faster. One plan after another was quickly dismissed by Lin Yi, but he still couldn't come up with a good idea.
“Douglas, can we control all the grenades we have and throw them directly into the herd?” Lin Yi felt five grenades at his waist and suddenly had an idea.
Outside the defense zone, unexpected incidents could happen at any moment, so their firepower configuration had to be maximized. The previous ordinary Zombie swarm was effectively held off by the Flame Gun, so they hadn't used grenades. Now that those tough-skinned beasts were attacking, ordinary flames wouldn't kill them quickly enough; grenades would definitely come in handy.
Douglas nodded confidently. Lin Yi knew he didn't need to worry about anything else; he took over Douglas's defensive position so Douglas could focus on controlling the grenades. The Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps worked together increasingly well; when Lin Yi suggested using grenades, everyone immediately unhooked their five grenades without looking back.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~” Douglas's control skill was already superb. Just as he closed his eyes for concentration, five grenades floated before him as if guided by an invisible hand. Then, in front of the astonished driver of the rear vehicle, those five grenades flew accurately into the air above the herd like missiles seeking their targets.
A bizarre scene unfolded at that moment; it seemed as if an invisible hand pulled all the grenade pins simultaneously. Following that, the grenades plummeted toward the herd like iron balls hitting the ground.
“Boom!” “Boom!” The successive explosions created massive shockwaves, instantly obliterating dozens of Corpseified creatures. The larger beasts were even lifted into the air by the blast wave and landed only to be trampled into mush by the frenzied herd before they could even stand up again.
"Roar~~" The beasts howled in unison, completely enraged.
Bullet Scar Man brushed off the bits of Scarlet flesh clinging to him, his eyelids twitching. If the beast pack had only wanted to kill them before, now it seemed they wanted to skin them alive and drink their blood. All the wild animals stared at him with wide, copper bell-like eyes, fixated on Bullet Scar Man.
He silently cursed his luck, but having made it this far from the corpses, he wouldn't let the beasts' ferocity weaken his own resolve. He quickly pulled out a grenade, biting off the fuses of two grenades with his teeth before tossing them into the midst of the beast horde.
After two loud explosions, over a dozen Corpseification beasts lost their ability to move like Zombies. This was still far from enough; they were facing not just a hundred beasts but a dense swarm as far as the eye could see. After experiencing the power of the grenades, Bullet Scar Man simply set down his Flame Gun and began collecting the other grenades from his companions, tossing them one by one into the throng of beasts.
Douglas was also busy on his end, diligently throwing grenades into the most concentrated areas of the beast pack. Working in tandem with Bullet Scar Man, they had developed a rhythm; each responsible for a specific area. In less than a minute, they had managed to blow up over a thousand beasts!
Bullet Scar Man knew this still wasn't enough, but with all the grenades used up, he could only pick up his Flame Gun again to fend off the approaching beasts. The Corpseification beasts were even more frenzied now; Bullet Scar Man could feel their Scarlet eyes filled with boundless rage. They exuded an aura that seemed intent on destroying everything in their path, relentless in their pursuit.
Suddenly, a chill ran down Bullet Scar Man's spine, reminiscent of the first time he had gone hunting with his grandfather and felt the gaze of a lion upon him. He shook his head, wondering why he felt so cowardly.
"Awo~" A massive Corpse Wolf suddenly broke away from the pack at an accelerated speed, followed closely by two slightly smaller wolves. Bullet Scar Man felt a prickling sensation on his scalp; he was indeed being targeted by these three wolves.
The three wolves surged forward rapidly, and Bullet Scar Man could only shoot desperately. However, these wolves seemed almost intelligent, dodging his fiery blasts with lightning speed. Just as he realized that his first wave of shots hadn't deterred their advance, the largest wolf burst forth with astonishing speed and closed in on him in the blink of an eye, extending its sharp claws toward Bullet Scar Man!
