Chapter 175 Mutated Zombies
As Lin Xinghai expected, after the zombie attack, the zombie detector built into the mecha finally detected a black spot representing mutated zombies.
As the black spots appeared, Lin Xinghai immediately controlled the mecha's optical telescope and looked into the distance.
Then, his eyes narrowed slightly and his expression became solemn.
It was a mutant zombie that he had never seen before. This mutant zombie was very huge, three stories tall, with a majestic build, and was almost twice the size of a mecha.
There is a layer of black cuticle on the other party's body, which glows like metal under the reflection of sunlight.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the 5-meter-long sharp claws extending from his hands. Even through the optical telescope, Lin Xinghai seemed to feel the sharpness emanating from them.
As the mutated zombies move, everything touched by the claws, whether it is houses, cars or concrete floors, is cut open silently.
Lin Xinghai quickly recalled the knowledge about mutant zombies, and soon a name appeared in his mind.
Deathclaw!
This is the existence that is almost king among mutant zombies.
Many mutant zombies have their own strengths, but they also have weaknesses.
For example, the armored corpse he encountered before was good at defense, but its attack power was weak. There are also hunters. Although they are extremely fast, their defense is not good.
However, the Deathclaw is a combination of offense and defense. It is almost a mutant zombie with no weaknesses.
This immediately made Lin Xinghai’s expression become solemn.
And if Lin Xinghai was solemn after seeing the Deathclaw, then Song Yao and Qin Wenbo both took a breath of cold air.
They are almost the first mercenary group to be formed. Of course, they have encountered a lot of mutant zombies, so they have all faced the Death Claw. As for how terrifying this mutant zombie is, the final question is It couldn't be clearer.
General mutant zombies can be contained with one mecha, and it is possible for two mechas to kill them.
However, against the Deathclaw, even if 5 mechas are deployed, it will only be a draw. It is almost impossible to keep it.
Qin Wenbo understands this best, because this was the situation when their Tenglong mercenary group encountered the Deathclaw. In that battle, they had to pay the price of almost scrapping two mechas. He was able to seriously injure the death claw and force it back.
As for the Holy Light Mercenary Group, it was even worse, because when they encountered the Deathclaw, they were only an intermediate mercenary group. If they hadn't escaped quickly enough, they would have been destroyed.
It is precisely because Deathclaw left such a deep impression on the two mercenary captains that they had such a big reaction.
Even now that their three major mercenary groups are joining forces, both of them feel uneasy.
And soon this feeling of uneasiness intensified again.
Just as Lin Xinghai said, another black spot appeared on the zombie detector, representing mutated zombies.
The two people quickly adjusted their optical binoculars and looked towards the place where the second mutated zombie appeared.
They are very scared now, another terrifying mutated zombie has arrived.
To their secret relief, what appeared this time was a predator. Although the Predator is known to be difficult to deal with due to its terrifying speed, it is still much better than facing the Deathclaw.
“We may have to change our battle plan.” Song Yao said quickly after he came to his senses.
"That's right!" Qin Wenbo nodded quickly and gave his own opinion, "The Hunter is too fast and difficult to deal with. We can't stop it if it wants to escape, so I think we should work together to kill the Deathclaw first. "
"To deal with the Death Claws, at least 10 mechas are needed to ensure that there are no surprises. We will work together later. Fortunately, our three major mercenary groups have enough mechas together. ." said Qin Wenbo, his tone full of joy.
"Ahem!" Lin Xinghai coughed, interrupted the conversation between the two, and said: "Well... there is another bad news, and a mutant zombie is approaching."
"What!" At this time, Song Yao and Qin Wenbo's expressions really changed.
They hoped that Lin Xinghai's sensing was wrong, but just over a minute later, the zombie detector detected the approach of another mutated zombie.
Several people immediately checked, and Lin Xinghai discovered that this was another mutated zombie that he had never encountered before.
After recalling the information in his mind, he soon determined that the last mutated zombie was named the Spitter.
This is one of the few mutant zombies that can attack remotely. The mouth of this mutant zombie can spit out a green venom. This venom is very corrosive, and special alloys can melt.
Looking at the three zombies in the field of vision, one of them is both offensive and defensive. It takes a lot of manpower to contain them. One moves swiftly and with ghostly speed, making it impossible to guard against a sneak attack. Now there is also a spitter, which can cooperate with long-range attacks.
With such a lineup, even Lin Xinghai found it difficult.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Qin Wenbo lost his temper when he saw this scene and asked nervously.
Song Yao was silent. Even he had no good solution in this situation.
"We can try to defend! At the speed we are moving now, we will be able to leave the city center in ten minutes. By then the zombie density will decrease, and we will have a chance to break out of the zombie tide." Lin Xinghai suggested .
The spitters can attack from a distance, so they dare not attack at will. Otherwise, the convoy does not have enough mechas to protect it, and it is likely to encounter a devastating blow.
"That's all. I hope they will also be wary of us. It would be best not to have a conflict." Song Yao immediately agreed. He no longer thinks about killing the claws now, he just hopes to get through this level safely.
But there are some things that they can't avoid if they think about it. After the three mutated zombies gathered together, they began to approach the convoy.
This scene made everyone nervous.
The one who launched the attack first was not the most powerful Death Claw, nor the Spitter with long-range attack capabilities, but the Hunter.
Its body size is only two meters, and among mutant zombies, it can be called "pocket-sized".
But precisely because of its size, when it blends into the zombie tide, it disappears in front of everyone in an instant. Even if there are zombie detectors that can roughly lock the location, it is also because the opponent is too fast and has a large size. It is difficult to distinguish and cannot find its true identity.
"Be careful! The hunters are about to attack." Song Yao reminded him solemnly.
When he reminded him, the Hunter had already approached the convoy within 100 meters with its terrifying speed.
Such a distance, for the hunter, is a matter of charging.
