Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 175

The convoy's troubles came from a broken bridge.

Today is really a bit evil, this is already the third broken bridge I have encountered.

The first stone bridge on the high-speed road was broken when the pier was hit by a vehicle. The reason for the second road bridge on the small river west of the Eastern service area is unknown, but judging from the neat cuts, it seems that it should be caused by extreme beasts. of.

This time, the broken bridge is located two kilometers north of Zhucheng South Interchange. It is also on a river. The bridge is more than 300 meters long. There are two signboards at the bridgehead on the south side of the bridge.

The lower one indicates that the bridge is called the Zhuhe Bridge, and the upper sign indicates that it is two kilometers away from the Zhucheng service area.

The bridge is now completely broken.

Nearly the entire bridge collapsed, and it was obvious why it had been smashed down by dozens of cars.

Most of the vehicles were smashed to pieces, and they could only be discerned through various debris. Most of these vehicles were cars, but there were also large trucks weighing three to four tons, and even a few smashed containers. Vehicles.

In addition to vehicles, many corpses can be seen on and under the collapsed bridge, both zombies and survivors.

It is worth noting that some vehicles are still smoking, and there are two wandering zombies on the beach in the middle of the river under the bridge.

Lu Jian stood beside the broken bridge, frowning tightly. This broken bridge doesn't look so simple.

"This is what the beast did."

After the convoy stopped, Li Xun and the others also got out of the car. Seeing the scene in front of them, Lao Fan, Cheng Xi and the others easily came to a conclusion.

"To be precise, it was done by winged beasts." Li Xun's eyes were also a little dignified. These vehicles were obviously dropped from a high altitude. Obviously, only winged beasts could do it, and they were not ordinary winged beasts. It weighs at least ten tons.

"Depending on the situation, the bridge should have been smashed into this way not long ago." Lu Jian said.

Li Xun nodded and agreed with his point of view: "That's right, there should be a very powerful winged beast nearby. Zhucheng belongs to Changxin City, right? Cheng Xi, check what's going on around here, how to detour, and leave as soon as possible here."

"Boss, checking."

Cheng Xi has turned on the tablet and is looking at the offline map.

"It's about 23 kilometers away from the center of Zhucheng City. You can go around from the east. If you want to go back, get off the expressway at Zhuchengnan Interchange in the south, go east along a national highway, and then go north along the provincial highway. Turn back from the Landao Expressway. Changdong Expressway, the whole journey is about [-] kilometers.” Cheng Xi quickly found the route.

"Is there a road to the west?" Li Xun asked.

"There is no decent road in the west. They are all county roads, and they have to pass through several villages. Small cars should be fine, but big cars may not be able to." Cheng Xi replied.

"Brother Li, are you worried about winged beasts?" Lu Jian was used to Li Xun's classification of extreme beasts, so he followed suit.

"Well, it's not a big problem if it's an ordinary winged beast, but judging from the situation here, it's likely that a higher winged beast did it. Ordinary winged beasts can't handle something as heavy as a container."

"What is a high-level winged beast? Is it bigger than a normal winged beast?" Lu Li asked curiously. He had no idea about high-level winged beasts.

"I haven't seen a high-level winged beast either, but I've seen a third-level polar beast before. You can watch the video and compare."

Cheng Xi opened the polar beast illustrated book, found the video related to the third-class polar beast, and handed it to Lu Li.

This is a screenshot taken from the video recorded by the drone. It lasts about 1 minute. Several ordinary polar beasts formed a stark contrast.

Lu Jian, Lu Ke and others all came closer, and couldn't help but gasp after seeing the third-class polar beast clearly on the screen.

The gigantic figure that is even more exaggerated than an elephant, the aura that shakes the ground when running, the ferocity of squashing a car with one foot, and the obviously thicker energy rays that it emits all show that the strength of this extreme beast is limited. how powerful.

"Hiss..., is this the third-class extreme beast?" Lu Li was a little frightened.

"Yes, it is two levels higher than ordinary extreme beasts, and its strength has been improved in an all-round way, and the scales on its body are also harder than ordinary extreme beasts. If the energy gun does not hit the vital point, it will do limited damage." Li Xun ranked third. Let me talk about the important changes of the polar beast.

"You mean the bridge was collapsed by a third-class winged beast?" Lu Jian couldn't help but ask.

"Well, it's very possible. I've seen second-class winged beasts too. From a physical point of view, it shouldn't be able to cause such damage." Li Xun estimated the weight of the container, and felt that third-class polar beasts were more likely to do this. big.

"Understood, this third-class winged beast is most likely to be in Zhucheng. In order to avoid being discovered by it, we have to hurry up and go around from the east." After seeing the destructive power of the third-class polar beast in the video, Lu Jian didn't want to meet one at all.

"Okay, let's go." Li Xun nodded, got into the pickup truck with Lao Fan, turned around and walked back behind the armored vehicle.

Lu Li poked his head out of the shooting hole on the roof of the armored vehicle, and shouted loudly every time a vehicle passed by: "Turn around and go back, don't fall behind."

The intercoms in the entire fleet are limited, and it is impossible to equip each car with one, so this kind of stupid method can only be used to notify.

The pickup truck driven by Yu Qingming became the second car in the convoy. Lao Fan and Cheng Xi stood in the back compartment, both holding a telescope in their hands, always watching the sky, focusing on the east.

Although the convoy was a bit chaotic at the beginning, as all the vehicles adjusted their heads, order was quickly restored. The rear team became the front team, still led by armored vehicles and pickup trucks, and drove back.

Get off the expressway from Zhuchengnan Interchange, go east and enter National Highway 208. After driving for four or five kilometers and turn into the provincial highway heading north, there are obviously more vehicles on the road than on the expressway.

The speed of the armored vehicle had to drop below [-] kilometers per hour. After driving five or six kilometers north, the convoy encountered a second problem.

In front of an intersection in a town, two large trucks overturned at the same time. One was pulling a load of cement, and the other was pulling a load of wood. A zombie group, the number is about four to five hundred.

Lao Fan immediately used a drone to scout the surrounding area, and found that there was a street 300 meters away to the east that could be bypassed.

So the convoy changed direction again, bypassing the intersection on the east, and the pickup with the advantage of aerial reconnaissance came to the front of the team.

Under the command of Lao Fan, Yu Qingming went north along the east road, passed two intersections, and then turned back to the provincial road.

Just turning onto the provincial road, a man suddenly rushed out of a gas station on the edge of the intersection.

Li Xun and Shen Yiqing both heard the man yelling something loudly towards the not so fast pickup.

What he shouted was: "Stop, the flying monster is coming soon."

"Stop the car, Old Yu."

Yu Qingming stepped on the brake, and the pickup stopped.

Li Xun got out of the car, ignored the man, and immediately shouted to the armored car behind: "Captain Lu, immediately tell all vehicles to stop and turn off the engine, all personnel should not get out of the car, keep still."

"Okay." Lu Jian, who poked his head out from the co-pilot, agreed, and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie to contact the back.

At this time, Lao Fan's warning voice also came: "Boss, we found winged beasts at high altitude in the east. There are not many of them, about a dozen."

The man in the gas station had already run to the pickup truck, his face was anxious and snarled: "You don't want to die, run around at this time, look for death yourself, don't hurt others, and hide quickly."

After speaking, he immediately ran to the gas station again.

"Old Fan, how far is the winged beast, can you see it clearly?" Seeing the man's reaction, Li Xun's heart sank slightly. He seemed to be familiar with the situation of the winged beast and knew that they would come this way.

"The distance is about six or seven kilometers. I can't see them clearly, but they are flying over here." Lao Fan replied while observing with a drone.

"Old Fan, put away the drone and hide in the car." Li Xun said, "Cheng Xi, give me the telescope."

He took the binoculars handed over by Cheng Xi, took a look around, ran to the armored vehicle behind, and turned over on the roof of the vehicle.

The view here is good, and it is suitable for observing the winged beasts flying from the east.

The shooting position on the top was replaced by Lu Jian. He also held a telescope in his hand and looked east.

"Captain Lu, have you been notified?" Li Xun asked while looking at the eastern sky.

"No problem. It will take some time before the winged beast flies over. I have notified all the people who have walkie-talkies and asked them to be responsible for the number of cars. Be sure to notify them all."

While the two were talking, Daju jumped onto the roof of the car and looked to the east, where there were more than a dozen black spots flying towards this direction at high altitude.

Adjusting the magnification of the telescope to the maximum of [-] times, Li Xun saw the black dot gradually become clear from the lens.

In a team of more than a dozen winged beasts, the flying speed of the first winged beast is faster than the others, far ahead.

Li Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, it was obvious that the leading winged beast was extraordinary.

"Captain Lu, the leading winged beast is not simple, be careful not to let it find out, Daju, let's go." He reminded Lu Jian, who was showing half of his body, and called Daju to jump off the roof and head west One of the factories ran.

There was a three-story flat-roofed building next to the roadside of the factory. With the help of the air conditioner, Li Xun jumped into it.

Daju closely followed him. Since it was promoted to the third level, although its body has obviously grown a lot, its movements are more flexible and its speed is faster. This height is not a problem for it at all.

Li Xun took Daju and hid behind a large billboard, only his head was exposed, and picked up the binoculars again.

Lu Jian retreated into the car, and Lu Li ran back to the car after notifying the cars behind.

The entire convoy stopped, and everyone in the car waited nervously, not even daring to breathe.

The pterosaurs in the telescope are already clearly discernible.

The leading winged beast was indeed unusual. Its head was obviously different from other winged beasts. The protruding part was flattened, which was obviously more suitable for flying.

Judging from its body shape, this should undoubtedly be a third-class winged beast. If it is discovered, the team will be in big trouble.
