Almost at the same time, a loud bang was heard in the distance.
The colored steel roof of an abandoned gas station three hundred meters away suddenly collapsed, stirring up a cloud of dust.
A corrosion zombie as big as an off-road vehicle slowly stood up from the ruins, its festering skin covered with ball-sized pustules that expanded and contracted with its breathing, making disgusting gurgling sounds.
Then, roars came one after another from the darkness in the distance. The sound was like a symphony from hell - sharp howls, low roars, and the crackling sound of bones rubbing against each other.
The smell of decay blew in the night wind, so strong that you could almost taste the stench on the tip of your tongue, making your stomach cramp involuntarily.
The zombie tide is coming.
From the crumbling buildings on both sides of the road, swarms of zombies poured out like a flood breaking through a dam.
These monsters were once human, but after nearly a year of virus mutation, most of them no longer have any human form.
The remaining clothes on them were already in tatters - some had a few strips of faded work clothes hanging on them, and some were still wearing half of a moldy suit jacket, the fabric was covered with dried blood and unknown mucus.
They scrambled to squeeze out of the broken glass windows.
A zombie wearing half a nurse's uniform fell from the second-floor window. Its once pure white uniform had now turned gray-brown, with a rusty name tag hanging on its chest.
When it fell to the ground, its spine made a crisp breaking sound, but it immediately climbed up again in a dislocated position, with the broken bones piercing the skin and exposed to the air.
The speed mutant zombies in the front row have completely lost their human form.
Ripped pieces of T-shirts hung on their hunched backs, some of which had vague cartoon patterns on them.
One of the monsters had an elongated neck and half a tie around its neck, floating in the air as its head swayed.
Their skin was an unhealthy bluish-gray color, covered with cracks, and black pus and blood oozed from the cracks.
The remaining clothes on the strength-type mutant zombies were torn to pieces by their swollen muscles.
A monster wearing half a pair of jeans, the trouser legs had been burst by its thick thighs, and the metal buttons were deeply embedded in the mutated skin.
Their grayish-white cuticles were covered with all kinds of stains—dried blood, rusty-colored unknown liquid, and a milky white substance that looked like brain matter.
The corrosive zombies at the very end no longer looked like they were once human.
Their swollen bellies burst through all clothing, and their exposed skin was covered with festering holes.
The monster in the middle has cysts all over its back. You can vaguely see half a belt hanging around its waist, and the metal buckle has been corroded and rusted.
Every time it moved, yellow-green pus would ooze out of the surface of the cyst, dripping onto the remaining clothes with a "hissing" corrosive sound.
The only recognizable human features on these mutants are a few broken rings that can be seen occasionally, or jewelry hanging around their necks that have oxidized and turned black, which look particularly strange on their deformed bodies.
"Prepare for battle!" Lu Jingcheng gave the order, and a ball of red energy gathered in his right hand, with tiny electric lights dancing at his fingertips.
But Li Luo was faster than him.
Before he could finish, she pushed open the car door and rushed out like an arrow.
The cold night wind mixed with the stench of decay poured into the car, making Li Luo's clothes rustle.
She landed steadily in the center of the circle illuminated by the car lights, and her black Martin boots crushed the stones, making a crisp "crunching" sound.
The light shone on her, flickering.
I saw her five fingers of her right hand spread out, with a faint blue light coming out of her fingertips, as if she was wearing a pair of luminous gloves.
The left hand was even more exaggerated, holding a bright blue ball of light, which was buzzing and vibrating, making the pebbles at the feet bounce on the ground.
