Apocalypse: Modifying Everything, Building an Iron Fortress - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Three Mutated Zombies! This Is Basically a Sniper Rifle!

“Sir, the task is complete!”

As no more debris fell onto the street, Jarvis’s voice echoed.

“Good!”

Jiang Cheng nodded and glanced at Liu Yuqing, asking, “What’s the situation around us?”

Observing the surrounding frenzied zombie horde, Liu Yuqing quickly reported what she could see.

“There are about 230 zombies ahead. Around 80 zombies on the left street, the right street is a main road, the number of zombies is unclear, but at least 500 or more, and the number of zombies chasing behind is the most—likely over a thousand … Wait …”

As she reported, Liu Yuqing’s voice suddenly halted, her eyes drawn to a humanoid figure rapidly descending from a balcony at an angle. Her pupils contracted in shock.

“Oh no! A mutated zombie is catching up!”

“No, it’s probably two …”

Jiang Cheng, looking at the rearview mirror, spoke in a deep voice as he observed a zombie with mutated legs, chasing the armored vehicle at a speed far beyond ordinary zombies.

He recognized this zombie—it was the one they had seen in the surveillance footage the night before!

“Grrrr … Roar …”

The incredibly fast zombie let out a howl, flipping zombies along its path and rapidly closing the distance to the armored vehicle. Its ferocious and terrifying appearance would have made any normal person’s legs go weak.

Once it sets its sights on you, there’s no escape!

“What should we do?” Liu Yuqing followed Jiang Cheng’s gaze and also spotted the mutated zombie.

“Keep observing the surroundings for me; I’ll handle the rest!”

The current situation was entirely within Jiang Cheng’s expectations. After giving a calm reply, his gaze fell on an oil tanker about 100 meters ahead.

Vroom—

Jiang Cheng turned the steering wheel sharply and floored the gas pedal. The armored vehicle roared like a beast as it reached maximum horsepower, charging toward the left street Liu Yuqing had reported, where only about 80 zombies were.

Yesterday, before entering the supermarket, Jiang Cheng had driven the armored vehicle around the area and knew it was a grid-like street pattern. After entering the left street, they could loop back to the road with the overturned oil tanker!

Now, with the direct route to the oil tanker blocked by over 200 zombies, he decisively chose to take a detour to avoid any mishaps!

Turning onto the left street, Jiang Cheng, with the gas pedal pressed to the floor, drove the armored vehicle straight into the group of over 80 zombies.

Boom, boom, Boom—

The powerful armored vehicle plowed through the wall of zombies, sending dozens flying and forcing a path through, emerging at another intersection.

Liu Yuqing reacted quickly, scanning the four streets and reporting, “Twenty zombies ahead, forty to the left, and about ten to the right.”

Clearly, they had successfully broken through the encirclement of zombies!

Jiang Cheng didn’t hesitate, turning onto the right street again, needing to loop back to the road with the oil tanker!

Thud!!

However, as he turned onto the right street, something suddenly slammed into the armored vehicle, causing the heavy vehicle to jolt violently.

Liu Yuqing instinctively looked over and exclaimed in shock, “Another mutated zombie!”

It was a middle-aged male zombie that had mutated to crawl like a gorilla! Not only was it faster than regular zombies, but its body was also exceptionally strong and robust.

Listening to Liu Yuqing, Jiang Cheng glanced at the crawling zombie through the rearview mirror and immediately pressed his Bluetooth earpiece.

“Jarvis, take control of the armored vehicle and loop back to the road with the oil tanker!”

“Yes, sir!”

Jarvis responded, taking control of the vehicle and steering it towards the next intersection, preparing to turn right again to get back to the road with the oil tanker.

With his hands free, Jiang Cheng unbuckled his seatbelt and quickly retrieved the heavy-duty nail gun from a large duffel bag.

The crawling zombie was too close and had to be dealt with first! Otherwise, it could interfere with the next phase of the plan!

Thud!!

At that moment, the crawling zombie slammed into the armored vehicle again, causing the several-ton vehicle to shudder once more, even denting the tough exterior slightly.

Seeing the heavy-duty nail gun in Jiang Cheng’s hand, Liu Yuqing’s eyes widened in shock.

“That’s also a nail gun??”

This thing was basically a sniper rifle!

Before she could fully process it, Jiang Cheng had already opened the armored vehicle’s sunroof, half his body emerging with the heavy-duty nail gun in hand.

Looking at the crawling zombie that resembled a gorilla in both physique and movement, his dark eyes narrowed slightly.

With the zombie so close, there was no need to use the scope. Jiang Cheng rested the heavy-duty nail gun on the roof of the vehicle, aimed at the fast and powerful middle-aged zombie, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger.

Thud!

A spray of blood burst out as the steel nail fired from the heavy-duty nail gun embedded itself into the crawling zombie. Perhaps because Jiang Cheng’s mastery of sniper rifles wasn’t as high as that of handguns, the shot missed the zombie’s head.

“Roar!!”

But the shot instantly enraged the zombie, causing it to roar as it glared with blood-red eyes, baring its bloody teeth. Its powerful arms slammed the ground, leaving two large dents, while its legs pushed off with force, leaping as if to land on the armored vehicle’s roof!

“Blow its head off!”

Jiang Cheng’s eyes flashed as he raised the heavy-duty nail gun, aiming at the zombie’s head as it jumped through the air, rapidly closing the distance. When the zombie reached the peak of its jump, about to land on the vehicle, he decisively pulled the trigger!

Bang!

The gunshot rang out, and the exceptionally strong male zombie’s head was instantly pierced by the steel nail, exploding in a mix of blood and brain matter that splattered across the sky!

Thud!

With a heavy thud, the male zombie’s body crashed to the ground!

“Good thing I upgraded to a heavy-duty nail gun beforehand. Otherwise, facing this zombie would have left me at its mercy.”

Seeing the crawling zombie’s head explode, Jiang Cheng breathed a slight sigh of relief, put away the heavy-duty nail gun, and returned to the armored vehicle’s interior.
