Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Licker
The ferocious zombies surged over like a tide, but standing in front of them were the heavily armored death corps.
Even though their fingers and nails had been scratched to a bloody mess, and even though they used all their strength to bite the black alloy armor, they still could not cause any harm to these two-meter-tall strong men.
The zombie lords who looked like living people and had sharp claws crawled out from the gaps in the zombie group and moved in front of the soldiers at a very fast speed. Driven by the huge force, their sharp claws left deep scratches on the alloy armor.
If they were facing ordinary survivors, such an attack might have pierced through their flesh and blood.
However, facing the protection of heavy alloy armor, such physical attacks still seem so powerless.
Faced with the enemy who was deeply injured, the soldiers of the Death Corps showed no mercy.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Blood and flesh flew under the gunfire.
Under the muzzle of the powerful shotgun, there is no difference in the defense of ordinary zombies or mutated zombies.
The heads were blown into bloody fragments by bullets, which made Reiner, who had been watching here, very worried. Instead of worrying about the safety of the soldiers, he began to feel sad for these rare research samples.
Following the direction of the corpses and bloodstains, Frank led the soldiers through the spacious front yard and killed several mutant zombies hiding in various corners.
Seeing this, Jesus walked up to Frank and said:
"It seems that they had a fierce battle. The Masonic Research Institute should be right below here."
"I've never heard of such a monster."
However, to their surprise, the bloodstains did not seem to pass through the huge building in the center of the sanatorium, but went around the side to the backyard of the sanatorium.
However, no matter what he thought, the battle continued.
"You and the new recruits should set up camp here and defend this place. Set up a heavy machine gun facing the cave entrance to prevent our retreat from being cut off by other monsters."
Colonel Frank was silent for a few seconds, then stood up and said calmly:
"It's not an ordinary rifle, it should be a heavy machine gun."
Unlike the poor fellows like the Saviors who need to use electric lights or torches for lighting, both the Stinger Squad and the Death Corps have lighting systems installed on their armor. After hundreds of people turn on their lights, although the light cannot illuminate too far, basically, within a range of forty or fifty meters, you can see clearly.
"Could it be the guard in this research institute?"
They look like skinned frogs, with strong muscles all over their bodies, long limbs with sharp and pointed claws at the ends, like lizards, and bare brains exposed on their skinless heads.
Amid Gavin's desperate cries, the monster's two huge and sharp claws pierced directly into Gavin's body, and then with the huge force, it tore Gavin into two pieces.
After just one look, his brows furrowed. He no longer cared about the bloody appearance of the corpses, but squatted down and began to examine them carefully.
"Keep an eye on these rookies and don't let them cause any trouble."
There was still no light, but fortunately, this secret research institute might have had an energy problem and the equipment could not be used. However, their doors remained open and not closed.
"You bastards are going to kill me."
The Stinger Squad, which had not participated in the battle, also surrounded them. Jesus was also surprised to see the bodies on the ground. He looked at Colonel Frank who was silent and asked with doubt:
"It turned out to be gunshot wounds. These guys were not killed by monsters, but by bullets."
Such a scene surprised Dwight, who was standing at the rear of the battlefield observing the battle. He was well aware of the Saviors' combat effectiveness. Although they were stronger than ordinary survivors, they would definitely have no chance of winning if they faced soldiers who were comparable to regular troops.
The bodies on the ground were not only riddled with bullet holes, but even their heads had serious damage.
"If the people in the institute have such heavy weapons, maybe you should take off those turtle shells."
Faced with such a bloody scene, many recruits had very ugly faces, but after all, they had all survived in the apocalypse for more than ten years, so no one made ugly gestures such as vomiting or crying out of fear.
Colonel Frank looked at the miserable corpses on the ground calmly, and said without changing his expression:
"It should be some kind of monster. Look at their bodies. Don't you feel that something is missing?"
It was as if they had been eaten by some monster that liked to gnaw on brains. Some were missing from the neck, some had half of their heads eaten, and some even had their upper bodies missing. But without exception, there was not a single brain that could be found at the scene.
Frank himself was too lazy to care about him and slowly walked to the bodies of the Saviors on the ground that had not been eaten clean yet.
After saying that, Frank looked at Jesus and the players behind him with a meaningful look and reminded them:
Perhaps, the hatred between him and Negan will be completely settled in this operation.
Even those hunter-type zombies with nimble bodies and sharp claws could not cross this torrent of steel. Even if they jumped high, they would be used as ready-made targets by the recruits behind the Death Corps and shot into sieves by dense bullets.
"It's just unclear what kind of enemy the Savior Army encountered."
After the battle, a dozen recruits who performed poorly, under the order of Colonel Frank, were responsible for helping Reiner collect the bloody samples with aggrieved faces.
Professor Mallock's apprentice Reiner was no ordinary man either. As soon as the battle was over, he rushed into the pile of corpses with excitement on his face. He touched here and looked there, as if he was Monkey King entering the treasure house of Laozi, with a face full of joy.
Jesus didn't care about Colonel Frank's ridicule. After thinking for a few seconds, he agreed with his speculation. He turned around and discussed with other team members for a while. Then they took off the metal pendants on their guardian uniforms, leaving only the black combat uniforms made of special spider silk.
And in the center of these corpses, an underground staircase sunk into the ground appeared in front of everyone.
After losing the tank-type zombies and corroders, two types of mutated zombies that could threaten the Death Corps, the group of mutated zombies at the door of the sanatorium became lambs on the chopping board, unable to escape the fate of being strangled.
"I will take the Death Corps and the Sting Squad to investigate the situation first."
Along the way, no one spoke much. After walking down the deep staircase for about seventy or eighty meters, they came to a huge metal gate.
However, as soon as Dwight's voice fell, Frank saw a horrible monster leap down from the ceiling and pounce on Gavin who was covered by his strong flashlight.
Under the light of the strong flashlight, Frank could also see the appearance of the monster.
"Their bones and muscles were torn apart, and the calibre of the bullets was very large, and light weapons do not have such power."
Facing Colonel Frank's order, the adjutant saluted without any hesitation and replied:
"Yes, Colonel. I'll make sure to complete the mission."
"It's Gavin, one of Negan's leaders."
"However, it stands to reason that at least thirty or forty people died here. They all had guns in their hands and looked like veterans. What kind of monster is so powerful that there is not even a single corpse?"
Dwight, who was following Frank, saw the man's appearance and whispered in the colonel's ear:
What's even more terrifying is that the corpses on the ground look very fresh, as if they had just been dismembered in a slaughterhouse, with body parts of different sizes scattered everywhere.
Upon hearing this, Jesus immediately scanned the corpses on the ground and immediately discovered something unusual.
Colonel Frank commanded the troops, and in less than twenty minutes, these mutated zombies that were so troublesome for many survivors were wiped out by the soldiers without any casualties.
After seeing the strong flashlight in Frank's hand, he said with horror:
"Don't take a photo of this, don't take a photo of this."
The monster let out a triumphant roar, and instantly bit Gavin's head with its big mouth full of sharp teeth, like eating a grape, and with a snap, the juice splashed everywhere.
"You have so many lights, they will attract those monsters here."
Frank shone the high-intensity flashlight in his hand over there, and saw a pale-faced man wearing a bulletproof vest hiding in the corner, looking at everyone with fear in his eyes.
Just as Frank and his soldiers carefully stepped through the gate and looked inside the institute with caution.
However, just as Frank was about to give the order for the Death Corps soldiers to open fire and kill the monster, a dozen monsters that looked almost identical suddenly swooped down from the ceiling directly above the soldiers.
After another twenty minutes or so, Reiner finally collected all the samples he wanted. The wounded soldiers were bandaged, while others changed their ammunition and did maintenance. Under the command of their respective superiors, everyone began the next exploration operation.
After arranging the follow-up matters, Frank did not waste any more time. He took more than a hundred elite soldiers of the Death Corps and members of the Sting Squad and carefully walked down from the underground stairwell.
"Hey! Turn off the lights."
"If you are hit by these bullets, you will definitely die even with the protection of the turtle shell."
After hearing this, Colonel Frank thought for a few seconds, then turned around and ordered an adjutant:
The brains of these zombies are the most critical part in unlocking the mystery of the zombie virus. Without them, the value of the samples will be reduced by more than half.
Suddenly, a fearful voice was heard from the darkness several dozen meters away from them.
When Colonel Frank led his troops to the backyard, they immediately saw corpses all over the ground and traces of a large number of gunfire left after the battle. The ground, walls and decorations in the backyard were full of bullet holes and bullet casings. It was obvious that both sides were fighting desperately.
"Their brains are gone. Is it some kind of monster that likes to eat brains?"
Just like a hunting cheetah, this horrific monster used its own strength and weight to pin the soldiers of the Death Legion to the ground. Its sharp claws were like sickles, scratching their bodies in an instant, causing fire to splash everywhere.
However, their treatment was similar to that of the mutated zombies outside. Although these monsters were stronger and had sharper claws, their attacks still could not really harm the soldiers of the Death Corps who were protected by alloy armor.
Amid the continuous, teeth-grinding cutting sounds, the soldiers of the Death Legion, despite the friction fire on their bodies, fired their shotguns at the monsters, beating these monsters, which looked like skinned frogs, into a bloody mess and causing them to fall to the ground.
