Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Fighting the Sound Tracker Again
Outside the ruins of a college in the radiation zone.
The two teams of Jesus and Michonne were carrying out the mission with dozens of soldiers from the Death Legion.
However, this time, they did not rush directly into the main building like they did last time when they went to the hospital. Instead, they found a building that was easy to defend in advance, which seemed to be an indoor gymnasium.
Then, after clearing out the monsters in the gymnasium, they built a simple defensive position with the help of tables, chairs, benches, wooden fences and other miscellaneous items inside.
After suffering a loss at the hands of the Sound Trackers, they could no longer face those monsters as terrifying as waves without any preparation.
Soon, after the defense line was established, the combat engineer in the team also opened the box behind him and released the reconnaissance drone inside.
He was ready to control this little thing and go to other buildings to help them explore the situation here and see what kind of monsters were here so that they could be prepared in advance.
According to past maps of America, this is a private high school located in the suburbs. It is not very large in size. There are two main teaching buildings, and it is also equipped with a gymnasium, cafeteria, swimming pool and a two-story teachers' office building.
According to Captain Jesus' suggestion, the combat engineers controlled the reconnaissance drones and started with small buildings. Through the projectors they carried, everyone could see that although there were not many monsters outdoors in the university, there were many monsters hidden inside each building.
After instructing the soldiers of the Death Corps, she said to Clementine who was standing beside her:
Clementine nodded slightly, and at the same time, she gripped the assault rifle in her hand tighter. The danger she encountered in the last battle was still vivid in her mind. Although she was prepared this time, it was not necessarily foolproof.
Without wasting time, Jesus immediately raised the flamethrower in his hand and led the soldiers of the Death Legion to spray blazing flames at the followers on the other side of the metal net like they were barbecuing.
Jesus also held a flamethrower and stood not far from the tempered glass door, saying to the team members:
"Don't panic, we are well prepared this time and won't be as embarrassed as last time."
If we are attacked from both sides at that time, we will be in danger of being wiped out.
The temperature at the stadium gate rose rapidly and soon exceeded several hundred degrees. The soldiers of the Death Corps not far away from them also soon felt the heat.
However, due to supply difficulties, the team only carried two reconnaissance drones this time, and one of them has been destroyed. If they continue to send drones into this teaching building, there is a high possibility that they will not have the opportunity to continue the reconnaissance.
Just like a fishing net, although the gaps between the metal nets are very large, enough for a basketball to pass through, it is more than enough to block the bodies of the trackers.
After a brief discussion, although the situation in the teaching building just now was rather suspicious, for the sake of safety and the overall situation, Jesus and Michonne decided to send out the remaining reconnaissance drone to gather intelligence in another teaching building first. After confirming the situation inside, they would deal with the monster in this teaching building.
Jesus, Michonne and others were silent for a few seconds, and Michonne was the first to speak:
"Don't rely on luck. Let's get rid of the sound trackers first. Otherwise, when we fight other monsters, we might be ambushed by them."
The main entrance of the gymnasium consists of four small tempered glass doors. Only the two middle ones are open, and the other two glass doors are sealed on the concrete floor and are very sturdy.
Jesus also exhaled lightly, turned to Jill in the team and said:
A steady stream of followers came out of the teaching building and followed the follower in front.
"However, if we encounter special circumstances, we may still need his help."
Seeing the metal net blocking the hundreds of Sound Trackers at the stadium gate, even though the huge force made the metal net creak, Jesus still couldn't help but shouted excitedly:
This time, as soon as they entered the teaching building, Jesus and others discovered that something was wrong.
The huddled together Sound Trackers were immediately ignited by the flames. Their bodies, which had turned into plants, were very flammable. The flames quickly spread along the innermost Sound Trackers of the metal net and quickly spread to the back. In less than a few minutes, hundreds of Sound Trackers were covered in flames.
However, this time, they learned their lesson. Inside the metal armor, there was a layer of heat-insulating clothing that was urgently delivered from the Human Union base. Although it could not completely isolate the high temperature and was still very uncomfortable, it would never let their bodies be burned by flames like last time.
However, for safety reasons, Jesus and others did not alarm these monsters, but quietly retracted the reconnaissance drone and flew towards one of the main teaching buildings which was the largest and most suitable for hiding.
Michonne on the other side also said to the Death Corps soldiers behind him:
"Soldiers, this time we just need to defend this gate. Save the fuel for the jets. Divide into five groups of four and attack intermittently."
Just do it. The second reconnaissance drone, under the control of the combat engineer, entered the teaching building through a broken window.
Judging from the footage captured before the reconnaissance drone was destroyed, the one who attacked it should have been a relatively large hunter-type zombie with extremely sharp claws that could even penetrate the drone's iron defenses.
As for those who were following the sound dozens of meters away from the speakers, it was as if their brains were pierced by countless huge sounds in an instant. Their originally ferocious and ferocious expressions became dull, and the roars in their mouths stopped in an instant.
However, their wave-like attack was soon stopped by a barrier. This was a huge metal net woven from steel cables as thick as fingers. Every steel cable on all sides was fixed to the ground and walls with steel spikes. It was just big enough to cover the entrance to the gymnasium and was extremely strong.
For a moment, although no sound came out of the speaker, Chris vaguely felt that something was spreading out from the speaker. It was ultrasonic wave that human ears could not receive.
The following battle went more smoothly than expected. By turning on and off the super-powerful ultrasonic device, they even divided the Sound Trackers into several waves to destroy them. There was no need to deploy Clementine's armed giant Tom to clear out all the Sound Trackers.
"Since there are sound trackers here, let's set up some traps. We happened to have brought new tools this time, so we can also test the new equipment sent by the President to see if it works well."
Although their ugly heads could not show a bewildered expression, Jesus and others could still see that these sound seekers seemed to have lost their target of attack. They stood there stupidly, allowing the flames to spread and ignite their bodies.
Just by seeing this scene and these spore plants, everyone couldn't help but think of the difficult battle in the hospital last time. Needless to say, there must be many trackers lurking here.
After all, if there are many sound trackers lurking in this teaching building, the noise they make when they are fighting in another teaching building is likely to attract the attention of the sound trackers.
Soon, after the first few sound trackers that rushed over were knocked down, within a few seconds, more than a dozen furious sound trackers rushed over from behind. Some of them rushed in through the two open doors of the glass door, while the others stupidly crashed directly into the closed tempered glass. The huge impact force made the tempered glass doors bang, but they did not break.
"Great, this is a great idea."
The combat engineer shook his head with a serious expression and said:
However, these sound followers are not completely without intelligence. At least those whose bodies are set on fire and covered in flames will still roar in pain. Although they will not retreat, at least they can feel the coming of death.
No one is really not afraid of death or pain. Those true warriors simply suppress the mental and physical pain with their own will.
"If they break open the metal mesh, we will be in danger again."
These monsters, whose facial features except for their mouths were replaced by giant spore mushrooms, chased after Chris while roaring crazily.
They ran and roared, and soon gathered together, forming a huge wave of monsters. I am afraid that ordinary survivors would lose the courage to fight just by seeing them.
It only took about half a minute to cover the distance of more than 200 meters. The first few followers that rushed out of the teaching building had already reached the gate of the gymnasium.
"How many Sound Followers are there?"
Chris suppressed his fear and waited beside the speaker for about ten seconds, until he saw several ferocious-looking sound trackers rushing out of the teaching building from the windows, doors and different locations and rushing towards where he was, then he picked up the metal speaker and ran towards the gymnasium.
There were mutant moles hiding in the cafeteria, mutant killer bees, mutant wild boars building nests in teachers' offices, and even a mutant toad with six legs, a fiery red body, and the ability to explode that was found in the swimming pool.
At the same time, he did not forget to shout to his companions on the communication channel:
"The sound tracker is coming. It will arrive in thirty seconds. Be prepared for battle."
After all, their mission is not to kill all the monsters in the radiation zone, but to collect as much intelligence as possible and find those intelligent monsters that can command mutated zombies.
Everyone felt a little heavy-hearted, not because of fear or shrinking, but simply because they had to face a strong enemy and there was a high possibility of getting hurt.
However, just as the reconnaissance drone flew through a broken window into a classroom on the second floor of the teaching building, it was ambushed by a monster lurking on the ceiling and was destroyed in an instant.
The members of the Stinger team, including Clementine, had no intention of watching the joke. Almost the moment they saw the sound trackers, they pulled the trigger at the same time. Dozens or hundreds of rifle bullets instantly blew up the heads of the sound trackers.
They are very fast. Although they cannot reach the speed of the Olympic champion of around ten meters per second, six or seven meters per second is no problem at all.
However, no matter how skilled they were at shooting, it was difficult to withstand the fierce offensive of the Sound Trackers. As the Sound Trackers that were knocked to the ground stood up again, the number of Sound Trackers rushing into the gymnasium quickly rose to hundreds.
Dozens or even hundreds of them poured out continuously. Even if they jumped down from a tall building and fell to the ground, they would only struggle for a dozen seconds before getting up and continuing to chase as if nothing had happened.
Chris nodded and immediately carried out the captain's order without any hesitation.
In just a moment, although the human ear cannot distinguish the frequency of ultrasound, it can still clearly perceive an invisible wave emanating from the huge speaker.
Half an hour later, after Jesus and others completed their preparations for the battle, the strong Chris carried a metal box, walked out of the gymnasium door and came to the corridor outside.
Fresh water continued to gush out from the cracks, forming a large pool of water in the lobby of the teaching building. Numerous vine spore plants extended from the pool to various places in the teaching building. Many walls, cracks in the floor and guardrails were entangled with mushroom-like fungi.
"There are still many Sound Followers pouring out of the teaching building. Counting those on the road and those in the sports administration, the number is at least over 800."
Jesus gritted his teeth after hearing this. He looked at the metal net still burning, and the number of people following the sound was increasing. He gritted his teeth and said to Chris:
"Open the big guy. Although this metal net is strong, it has a limit to the force it can withstand."
He withdrew from the fighting team and ran as fast as he could to the back of the team next to a huge speaker that was over one meter high and looked like a small refrigerator, and pressed the switch button.
While changing the fuel and letting the muzzle cool down, Jesus turned to the combat engineer and asked:
It was a device that looked like a speaker, all black, with a solid battery on one side and two speakers on the other.
In fact, he didn't need to say it. The people who had set up a defensive line in the gymnasium had already seen the enemy's movements through the images captured by the reconnaissance drone.
However, he did not have time to think about these things. Almost at the moment the speakers were turned on, a commotion broke out in the teaching building about two hundred meters away from the speakers, and a large number of shrill and terrifying roars came from there.
"This time, we don't need to let the armed giant rush to the front."
However, these monsters that had been transformed by the bacterial virus were still able to survive even if their brains were destroyed. After struggling on the ground for a few seconds, they quickly joined the charging team. Their broken heads, oozing green pus, looked even more terrifying.
However, before those Sound Trackers could rush over, they were shot in the head by the Stinger Squad members who had been waiting at the gymnasium gate for a long time.
Faced with the surging waves, the battle instantly became fierce. Michonne and others had almost no time to rest their rifles. After emptying one magazine, they immediately replaced it with another. Within a dozen seconds, they blew up the brains of twenty or thirty Sound Trackers.
He pointed the speaker side of the speaker at the teaching building where the sound tracker was hidden. After confirming through the communication channel that his companions were ready for battle, he quickly pressed the start button of the speaker.
They continued to advance under the gunfire, triggering a dozen pre-buried high-explosive mines in the middle, but the violent explosion still did not affect their wave-like speed. The gaps left by the former being blown to pieces were soon filled by the sound trackers behind them.
Moreover, his body shape was also very peculiar, growing from an almost monkey-sized monster to the standard of a thin man. It was quite rare and a bit suspicious.
Due to the impact of the large-scale nuclear explosion, the climate in the radiation zone is unpredictable, but because of the radioactive dust, the overall environment remains low temperature and humid. Inside this teaching building, I don't know if it was due to an earthquake or other reasons, but a large crack appeared in the hall on the ground floor, and the crack seemed to extend into the underground river.
While Jesus was cheering for the victory of the people, he could not help but feel proud of the creativity of the United Nations.
Just because of a setback, after discovering a new enemy, the experts and professors of the Human Union Organization can find out their weaknesses based on the enemy's intelligence and create weapons to restrain them.
It can only be said that it is because there is a reliable organization supporting it that the great cause of human rejuvenation can grow gradually like this.
