End of the World

When Wu Bin found Dafeng fainted, he immediately went over to steady the car, and Qiao Xinghua helped move Dafeng away from the driver's seat.

After taking control of the vehicle, Wu Bin drove the fire truck out from the gap where the troops came in. The airport was too dangerous, so he went out and found a place to rest first.

It's better outside the airport, as the zombies are either killed by artillery fire or lured into the airport.

The fire truck broke down completely after driving for a while. It was only two kilometers away from the airport and had no choice but to walk. Wu Bin planned to return to the reservoir where it was safe without zombies.

After making sure that the fire truck could not move, two people lifted Dafeng off the truck. Wu Bin found a cart and put Dafeng and the ammunition on it. Dafeng's weight was too heavy for two people to lift.

Wu Bin patted the box containing the rockets. Fortunately, the shock wave did not detonate them, otherwise the entire fire truck would have been blown to pieces in an instant.

The two people looked back at the fire truck and saw black smoke coming out of the engine. The whole vehicle was about to catch fire. The fire truck must have been very upset. Its final fate was to be burned.

"..." Wu Bin wanted to say let's go but then he remembered that no one could hear anything now. He had no choice but to pat Qiao Xinghua's shoulder and gestured to leave.

Qiao Xinghua didn't know where Wu Bin was going. Both of them had only learned simple sign language and could not express words like "reservoir".

Wu Bin suddenly had an idea and picked up a branch and wrote on the ground: "Let's go to the reservoir"

Qiao Xinghua nodded, indicating that Wu Bin would lead and he would pull the cart.

The two men headed towards the reservoir with their heads full of buzzing and Dafeng. As for the mission at the airport, forget it. The three of them had already done their best.

Inside the airport, the Second and Sixth Battalions, which were resting in the hangar, received instructions from their superiors to search for possible corpse moth nests in the airport. The command was considering using missiles for precision strikes, provided they found them and guided the missiles.

The explosion attracted away the zombies that were besieging them, increasing the safety of the troops' operations.

"Comrades, the superiors have issued a death order. Bring your laser guidance devices and find the nest of the bastard bugs!"

"Yes!" The troops were filled with anger. They hated the corpse moths the most. The casualties they caused were twice as high as those of ordinary zombies.

For some unknown reason, sounds like explosions have no attraction to corpse moths, but the noise from helicopter engines acts like a magnet to them, attracting them in droves.

In order to prevent the army from collapsing again, the Second Battalion of the New Fourth Regiment and the Third Company of the Sixth Battalion, the old troops, acted together. The presence of veterans in the team could inspire the new recruits and stabilize the morale of the army.

The New 1st Regiment, the 1st Battalion of the New 4th Regiment and two companies of the 6th Battalion trapped in the west acted synchronously. They had more people and were divided into two forces. The 1st Company of the 6th Battalion acted with the New 1st Regiment, and the 2nd Company of the 6th Battalion acted with the 1st Battalion of the New 4th Regiment.

Second Battalion Commander White led his troops out to check the hangar next door. He wanted to know why the troops led by Company Commander Chen Sheng did not retreat into the hangar.

"Hiss~" White took a deep breath after arriving at the scene. He saw broken limbs everywhere in the hangar. They were blown up by Dafeng with rockets. The nose of the parked fighter plane inside was smashed to the ground, and the front landing gear seemed to be broken by a heavy object. The whole fighter plane was covered with disgusting mucus, and there were signs of burning on the hangar floor.

No wonder there was no fire when the hangar exploded. It turned out that there was a large area of ​​smelly liquid in the hangar. But why did they blow up the hangar at that time? There were no other important clues at the scene except for a large pool of unknown liquid and the remains of the body.

White didn't have much time to investigate. He took a quick look at the scene and then led his troops away. The most urgent task was to find the corpse moth's nest.

According to current research on corpse moth worms, it is a parasite that coexists with the zombie virus. This is very strange. Generally, viruses are smaller individuals than parasites. Viruses sometimes kill parasites, but the relationship between zombie viruses and parasites is subtle. Viruses will not harm parasites. Parasites are more like vectors for virus transmission. When there is no host, the virus will dormant in the parasite's body.

The source of the virus cannot be traced. The primary generation of the virus can be transmitted through the air, which reduces its pathogenicity and makes some humans immune. The parasite appeared later than the virus. Its larvae are about the same size as fungi, but the adult is half a meter long.

The artillery was still bombarding, but the firing interval had been adjusted to one round every five minutes. The zombies at the bombardment point were dizzy and couldn't find where the shells came from.

The bombardment successfully attracted the attention of the zombies but failed to gather them together. The zombies were wandering around the explosion point. Some zombies had become immune to the sound of explosions. They did not like the smoke from the bombardment point. The explosion sound had very limited appeal to the zombies in the later period.

The corpse moths that attacked the helicopter flew from the south of the airport. White believed that the nest of the corpse moths was most likely in a huge hangar in the south. According to the outline map of the air force base provided by the command, there was an aircraft maintenance field in the south.

"Du Qi, is there any problem with you leading the first company to take down the air force control tower?"

Du Qi looked at the towering air force tower, with a few figures scattered around it, and answered loudly: "No problem, I guarantee to complete the mission!"

"Okay! Take the radio, the reconnaissance mission is left to your company!" White saluted Du Qi.

"First Company, follow me!" Du Qi returned the greeting and waved to the first company.

The air force tower is twenty stories high and is the place with the best view, basically overlooking the entire air force base.

The mission of the first company is to control the tower and observe the zombies. To put it simply, it is to help everyone keep watch.

White led the remaining men to the south. The bombardment was becoming less attractive to the zombies, and they didn't have much time.

"Bang! Da da da!" Sporadic gunshots were heard in the distance. The troops in the west began to move. They were closer to the warehouse in the south.

Everyone was very cautious. Since there might be a corpse moth nest, the gunshots would definitely alert them. The only worry was how many there were.

The troops entered the South Area hangar. There were no corpse moths or anything like that. Instead, there were a lot of corpses piled up in the hangar. The liquid on the corpses even flowed outside, and after drying up, it left gray-black marks on the ground.

White looked at the corpses in the hangar with a frown on his face. Where did the corpses come from and why were they piled up in the warehouse?

Judging from the torn clothes on the bodies, most of them were civilians, and there were also quite a few students in school uniforms. There were no schools near Nanhu Air Force Base.

"Everyone, please be careful. The liquid from the corpse may be corrosive!" White noticed that some plastic products in the warehouse showed signs of corrosion.

"Cough cough!" Several soldiers who were checking the pile of corpses coughed violently. They were choked by the smell of the corpses.

"Everyone, get away from the bodies immediately!" White felt that there was something strange about these bodies. It was odd that they were piled together.

"Ah!" A scream came from a nearby warehouse, followed by a burst of gunfire, coming from the direction of friendly forces.

"Let's go over and take a look!" White didn't even bother to check the hangar and immediately took people over for support.

"Be careful of the grenades!" A grenade emitting green smoke flew into the group of zombies.

"Boom" the grenade exploded, blowing several zombies away but not completely killing them.

"Be careful of the mutant zombies!"

The soldiers from the New 1st Regiment and the 1st Company of the 6th Battalion were fighting against the zombies. They encountered new mutated zombies disguised among the corpses, which caught the troops off guard and caused casualties.

The new mutated zombie has a gray body and crawls on all fours. It is different from the night zombies discovered before. It appears day and night and is half a beat slower than the night zombies. It poses a much greater threat than ordinary zombies.

The new type of mutated zombie was later called a worm corpse. It is the host of the corpse moth worm. The corpse moth worm will not die after coming out of its body and can act as an independent individual. It inherits some properties of the corpse moth worm. Its body fluids are corrosive. If it is accidentally contaminated and not handled in time, it will become a new host. There are also vesicles in its body, which will explode if hit by bullets. Sometimes it is also called an exploding corpse.

Insect corpses can be zombies or corpses, which means that if a corpse is contaminated by parasites, it will become an insect corpse, even the corpse of a zombie. It is equivalent to parasites having the ability to revive the dead. Most zombies have parasites. If the corpse is not handled in time after the death of a zombie, it is likely to become an insect corpse. They are only now becoming known to people.

"That thing is hiding in the hangar!"

"Find a way to force it out!"

Several soldiers fired fiercely in the direction of the insect corpses, and a few bullets hit the insect corpses, creating blood flowers.

How could the insect corpse tolerate such provocation? It opened its bloody mouth and ran straight towards the soldier who fired the gun.

"It's coming out, shoot!"

More than a hundred guns fired wildly at the insect corpse. The insect corpse had no intelligence and did not know how to dodge. Even though its speed had increased rapidly after mutation, it could not withstand more than a hundred guns and was shot into a sieve.

"Stop shooting!"

Seeing the insect corpse fall down, several soldiers went forward to check, but they didn't expect the insect corpse to explode with a "bang", splashing blood and flesh all over the soldiers.

"We're fine." The exploding corpse scared everyone, and the first few soldiers who were hit signaled that they were fine.

"What happened?" White arrived with his troops, and the battle here was basically over.

The leading officer stepped forward and saluted. White's rank was higher than his: "Report, we are attacked by a new type of zombies, they are hiding in the pile of corpses!"

"A new kind of zombie?"

The officer was about to explain when he heard gunshots coming from the hangar again.

"There are still a few in there!"

The soldier who entered the hangar rolled and crawled out, and several dark shadows followed him out of the hangar.

"Bang, bang, bang! Boom!" The soldiers who were on high alert opened fire crazily at the black shadow, firing a barrage of rifles and grenades.

The several dark shadows were unable to resist and fell down almost at the same time.

"Wait a minute!" The soldier who had just experienced the explosion stopped everyone. Sure enough, the insect corpse fell to the ground for a few seconds and then exploded with a "bang". This time no one was hit.

"There shouldn't be any more!" said the officer when he saw the insect corpse explode.

"That's not necessarily true!" When everyone's attention was attracted by the insect corpses, White discovered something unusual about the pile of corpses. They seemed to have come alive.

"The corpses are alive!" The soldiers who were close noticed something unusual about the pile of corpses. The corpses were slowly twisting their bodies, making a "cracking" sound, which was creepy.
