rebuilding in walking dead

The next day, after a brief discussion, Michonne and Jesus adopted Reiner's plan and decided to search for traces of intelligent zombies from the remaining large buildings.

Soon, they left the place where they rested last night and found a larger public hospital.

Most of the small buildings in the hospital had been destroyed by the shock wave. Even the external walls and gates had disappeared, leaving only half of the bare foundation standing there. Coupled with the black ground and walls burned by various flames, the whole scene looked extremely miserable and desolate.

Only the most central and solid main structure of the hospital was not completely destroyed. The five-story building, nearly 30 meters high, still stood there stubbornly, still showing the glory of human civilization.

After Jesus and others killed some mutated monsters wandering in the yard, they found that not only the mutated zombies, but also many mutated creatures, poisonous insects and beasts also liked to hide in these buildings that could shelter from wind and rain and were good at hiding.

It is also because of this that the density of monsters in the hospital is far greater than that in the open wilderness.

Fortunately, apart from the corroders that can spit out corrosive bile, there are currently few monsters that can break through the defense of alloy armor.

Faced with all kinds of monsters in the hospital and their endless means, the battle was not smooth sailing, but Michonne and others relied on the guns and firearms in their hands, as well as the terrain advantages they deliberately sought out, and cooperated with each other, so there was no danger to their lives.

After clearing out the reception hall, registration office, pharmacy and other areas on the first floor, there were only two paths left for everyone.

And as the roars of the Sound Followers continued to rise and fall, more and more Sound Followers emerged from every corner and every room.

There was no time to say more. Seeing this, Reiner, who was only wearing protective clothing and heavy bulletproof vest, cursed inwardly, quickly aimed at a room that seemed to be a toilet, and immediately went in.

Everyone nodded silently and tightened their weapons.

Although the arms and teeth of the Sound Trackers cannot harm the people protected by the Guardian's armor, the weight of these monsters is substantial.

However, facing these little guys who were not even as tall as his waist, Tom, the armed giant at the front, was not afraid at all.

Of course, this was not because Clementine wanted to burn her teammates to death. As a member of the Stinger Squad, she was well aware of the special abilities of the Guardian Armor on her body.

"Maybe we can find monsters infected by the fungus virus down here too."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Once the armed giant started running, his strength plus his weight of dozens of tons brought an impact force that was almost as strong as a speeding truck. The two-meter-tall sound trackers were like kittens and puppies in front of him.

He directly used the human pyramid attack method, utilizing his own body to pin the members of the Stinger Squad down to the bottom, almost blocking all their resistance.

"They move very quickly and are very sensitive to sound. Their main attack methods are physical attacks with both hands and secreting spores to infect the target."

They bent their bodies and coordinated their hands and feet as if they were crawling. Their speed of movement was very fast, even slightly exceeding the speed of human running.

Under Clementine's command, as the Death Legion soldiers charged forward desperately, they quickly succeeded in igniting the Trackers that were pressing down on the Stinger Squad members.

Clementine, who was mixed in the Death Legion, also hurriedly gave new orders to Giant Tom, asking him to do his best to resist the subsequent Sound Trackers and not let them continue to put pressure on the soldiers.

However, when they walked down the stairs to the basement, they indeed discovered something unusual.

Some of the skinny sound followers climbed directly onto their companions' shoulders like monkeys. The two layers of monsters stacked on top of each other almost formed a wave of monsters like rotten wood.

The armor on Reiner's body is different from that on others. Although it can defend against attacks from ordinary monsters, as an ordinary researcher, if he is also pressed under these sound seekers, even if he is not infected by the virus, he will be crushed to death by their weight.

Moreover, Jesus and his companions also discovered that many rhizome, vines and spore organisms were growing unnaturally on the walls, ceiling, floor and many corners of the underground floor.

Moreover, almost everyone is covered with a large number of bacteria and viruses, and must be professionally cleaned.

Not only that, without the help of fire, these sound followers will spray out a large amount of bacteria and viruses from their bodies after death. The number is so large that it even forms a thick fog visible to the naked eye.

After coming out, Reiner immediately started collecting samples. He planned to send the samples of these monsters to the main base as soon as possible. He must let the President and several professors know the horror of these sound-seeking monsters.

The few followers running in the front were the first to be hit. They were directly knocked away by Tom. Like a ball, they flew more than ten meters and hit the monster behind them hard.

"Everyone please remain vigilant."

Even Clementine quietly informed the giant Tom who was walking in front of the team, asking this big guy who walked with the wind to pay attention to the distance between himself and the team.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this hospital is very special and there are some secret institutions underneath it.

Given their strong vitality, it is difficult to use thermal weapons to quickly eliminate them except for large-scale fire.

Judging from the situation of this battle, these sound trackers are agile, quick to move, and can form human walls and stack up.

Everyone's vision was blocked by the poison gas, and even the air treatment system equipped in the armor could no longer separate enough oxygen for them to use. They even had to turn on the emergency oxygen supply device in the armor to allow them to continue fighting.

After all, that's where corpses are dealt with, and there might be some horrible monsters hiding there.

It was not one of those brightly colored mushrooms or petals, but an ugly plant with strange patterns and dry and rotten skin.

The battles during this period were not smooth. Their team of nearly 40 people did not expect to be attacked by thousands of Sound Followers. Although they carried flamethrowers, the amount of fuel they carried was not sufficient. In the later stages of the battle, they could only rely on ordinary firearms to deal with these Sound Followers.

Then, dozens or even hundreds of monsters rushed out of the corpse storage rooms of all sizes.

It is conceivable that without the appropriate breathing equipment, even if the survivors can defeat these monsters, they will be infected by the bacteria and viruses in the air and eventually transformed into their own kind.

On the way back, everyone was feeling a little depressed. This was the second time they had returned empty-handed. Although they had obtained more detailed information about the monster called the Sound Tracker, it could not be said that they had gained nothing.

If humans were besieged by such monsters at the beginning of the disaster, then no fortress would be able to defend against their human wave tactics unless they hid underground.

He had no choice but to run.

But these agile and quick-moving monsters soon rushed out from both sides of Tom.

Although they still maintain their human appearance, these monsters' bodies are densely covered with wooden bark like dead trees. Judging from their thickness and material, they look like they are covered with a thick layer of wooden armor.

"However, these sound trackers have been completely covered by the fungus virus, and I am not sure whether they have acquired new abilities."

You know, the soldiers of the Death Corps are equipped with alloy armor. Although these heavy metal armors can defend against most physical attacks, their thermal conductivity is also very good.

After the battle, Reiner also ran out of the bathroom where he had been hiding. The soldiers did not blame him for his escape, and he himself did not have any burden. Saving one's life has always been one of the codes of conduct of the Human Union.

The only lucky thing was that the armed giant Tom was really powerful. Under Clementine's command, this big guy held a giant mace and kept sweeping and swinging it. He blocked more than half of the Sound Seekers with his own strength and prevented this wave from completely overwhelmed the troops behind.

Michonne and Jesus also agreed with Reiner's judgment. After the attack by the Seeker, they have decided to end this exploration and temporarily return to the temporary base on the edge of the radiation zone for repairs.

On average, they have to hit the target with more than ten shots to kill it.

After soliciting opinions from several important figures, everyone's opinions were relatively unified. They all believed that the monsters in the morgue and incinerator should be cleared out first.

Even if Jesus, Michonne and others wanted to continue struggling, they were pinned down so tightly that they could hardly move. They could only watch as the wave of Sound Followers drowned them.

"Just blowing up their brains won't kill them. We have to destroy most of the organs in their chests as well."

Seeing these monsters, Reiner, who had been hiding in the crowd, suddenly shouted:

"These monsters are called Sound Trackers. They are zombies that are highly infected with bacterial viruses."

The special fuel stored in the flamethrower was extremely fierce, and after it came into contact with the wooden armor on the Sound Seeker, it even had a combustion-promoting effect.

He raised the giant mace in his hand high up, and then smashed it down fiercely. Immediately, three or four Sound Seekers were smashed into meat patties. And the following horizontal and vertical slashes could take away four or five Sound Seekers with each attack.

It was not just because of the lack of ammunition and equipment they carried. The main reason was that in the previous battle, although they were protected by armor, the soldiers of the Death Corps were generally injured by the high temperature of the flames.

With the help of the giant Tom's powerful fighting ability and the use of the door-to-door strategy, it took nearly two hours to finally eliminate all the thousands of Sound Trackers entrenched in the underground floor.

According to the experience of Jesus and others, most of the basements of hospitals are morgues and laboratories for storing corpses. Some hospitals even have their own incinerators or warehouses.

Upon noticing the movement in the basement, Jesus only had time to shout:

"Enemy attack, defensive formation."

The armed giant at the front of the team, after receiving Clementine's order, rushed forward at high speed, waving the giant alloy mace in his hand like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, facing the most concentrated area of ​​the Sound Followers.

The rapidly rising temperature on the outside of the armor quickly caused the soldiers of the Death Corps to suffer.

The judgment of Jesus and others was very correct. Although these sound followers were covered with a layer of dead wood armor, which greatly improved their defense, the wooden structure also made them more vulnerable when facing fire attacks.

Otherwise, when they take off their armor, they are likely to be infected by the virus attached to the armor.

However, the corridors on the underground floor were designed to be very spacious, although the armed giants charged like wild boars, knocking away many sound trackers in the middle of the corridors.

As he spoke, he looked at the sound followers who were still rushing over at high speed and added:

This is what happened to Jesus and others. In the later stages of the battle, after the fuel was consumed, the bacteria and viruses gushing out from the bodies of the killed trackers almost covered the entire area.

Especially the soldiers who were attacked by the ignited Sound Trackers at the beginning. They suffered serious burns on their chests and arms. If they are not treated, they may not be able to join the next battle in a short time, or even be infected and die.

What's even more terrifying is that, except for the mouth used for eating, the other facial features on their heads can no longer be seen. A mass of plants that look like mushrooms covers most of their heads, with layers of ugly wrinkles and spores that open like petals. Combined with the rotten wood-like appearance of these monsters, the whole thing looks extremely terrifying.

She ordered the twenty Death Corps soldiers to be divided into four groups of five, and adopted a succession and division fighting method, attacking the sound followers in turns.

"Those zombies controlled by intelligent zombies also have bacteria viruses parasitic in their bodies."

However, unlike the giant Tom who was strong and powerful and could sweep away thousands of enemies, the members of the Stinger Squad following behind him immediately felt the pressure brought by the Sound Follower.

These monsters were so fast that in just a few tens of seconds, there was no time for them to put up much resistance. They overwhelmed Jesus, Michonne and the others like a wave.

It was a tough battle. After Jesus, Michonne and others were rescued, they did not rashly attack the waves of Followers.

Soon, the temperature in the entire basement corridor rose sharply, and those who were running over to follow the sound were ignited one after another, turning into burning torches and making shrill roars.

Once the number of monsters they gather exceeds several thousand or tens of thousands, they will most likely be able to cross walls that are more than ten meters or even dozens of meters high.

Jesus and Michonne nodded. They had also seen information about the Sound Trackers in the library. Although they had never encountered these monsters in person, they had a general understanding of their strength and intelligence.

As the footsteps of Giant Tom echoed in the basement, the monsters were awakened by the sound one after another, as if they had entered a hunting state, roaring like night owls and rushing out from their hiding places.

"Death Corps, use flamethrowers, burn them to death."

However, they still underestimated the monsters lurking in the basement of the hospital.

However, the existence of the dead wood armor makes these sound trackers extremely difficult to kill. Not only do they need to blow up their brains, but they also need to shoot seven or eight times in the chest to destroy the mutated organs in their bodies that coexist with bacteria and viruses.

Needless to say, the first thing everyone thought of was the bacterial virus that was raging around the world. Fortunately, everyone was equipped with an air treatment system and an emergency oxygen supply device was installed in the armor. Even if there was no air, they could last for an hour or so. They were not afraid of these bacterial viruses that permeated the air.

Their number increased from hundreds to four or five hundred within a few minutes, and the entire corridor seemed to be filled with them in an instant.

One was to go up the stairs and continue clearing the second, third, and further floors of the hospital.

However, the resistance of the Stinger Squad also bought some time for the Death Corps behind them. They all switched to flamethrowers and mercilessly sprayed raging flames at the surging waves of monsters.

Without hesitation, the two captains immediately stood up and shouted to their teammates:

"Stinger Squad, follow me and don't let them rush over."

"Remember the situation I mentioned earlier?"

It not only avoids the rapid depletion of fuel, but also prevents individual soldiers from getting too close to the trackers and being burned by their high temperature, thus losing their lives.

The entire interior of the armor seemed to have turned into a high-temperature furnace, constantly torturing the soldiers' nerves.

Seeing this, Jesus looked solemn and said to everyone through the communication channel:

"Fuck."

After simply issuing two orders, Jesus and Michonne resolutely led their teams away from the main force, firing fiercely while trying to buy time for the people behind them to change weapons.

They learned from their previous mistake and found a room on the underground floor that was easy to defend. They fought and retreated together with the armed giant Tom.

The huge number of Sound Trackers that were pressing on them, after being ignited, immediately burned rapidly and turned into a ball of blazing flames, even the Sound Trackers on the other side were all blocked.

The dry wooden armor didn't seem to have much effect. Under the violent squeezing, these sound trackers were like abscesses, and were exploded by the maces one after another. Yellow-green liquid splashed out of their bodies, which looked very disgusting.

Ultimately, the narrow door was used to effectively limit the number of sound followers rushing into the room.

But what was even more terrifying was that these ignited sound seekers still showed no retreat or fear, and they continued to press forward towards the soldiers of the Death Legion with their burning bodies.

The space on the underground floor was so quiet that one could hardly hear any unusual sounds. It seemed as if everything that could make a sound had been destroyed.

After these burning sound followers came close.

The special spider silk on the armor is not only extremely tough and has amazing defensive capabilities, but can also effectively isolate the damage of fire. Even in temperatures of thousands of degrees, they can still move normally.

Clementine, who was following behind the team, was also very calm. She did not panic because of the disadvantageous situation and quickly came up with a countermeasure.

The second way is to go down the stairs and clean out the basement below.

However, the changes in the monsters in the radiation zone are making these elite soldiers increasingly frightened.

It is hard to imagine whether they will still be able to continue to protect their homes if the monsters in the radiation zone attack humans again.

I read less and less, which makes me sad.
