399: Resident Evil 3

The man was sent by the base's Super Legion Mech Unit to assist. His name was Liu Hao, and he was also a First-Class Ability User. He leaped down from his mech and walked over to Qiu Qian, giving a perfect military salute.

"Liu Hao, Level One Mech Pilot of the Super Legion, reporting for duty to assist with the defense of Point Number One," Liu Hao's voice was loud and clear, and his posture was ramrod straight.

Qiu Qian nodded slightly and said, "Point Number One has just been through a defensive battle and is currently recuperating. Among the attacking zombie horde, a small portion of zombies self-detonate into poisonous mist, making them extremely difficult to defend against."

Liu Hao said, "Antidotes will arrive very soon. We are already aware of the poisonous zombies. My purpose here is also to eliminate the threat posed by these poisonous zombies."

"You can't eliminate them. These poisonous mists will spread with the air. Although the personnel on the defense line have been injected with Superpower Potion, it's still difficult to resist the invasion of the poisonous mist," Qiu Qian shook her head. Currently, the proportion of zombies that can release poisonous mist is not yet large, and they can still be stopped with firepower. But if this continues, Point Number One won't last much longer.

"Team Leader Qiu, please rest assured. We are already collecting elements related to the toxicity of the poisonous zombies, and we will soon be able to identify which zombies are poisonous. I will advance fifty kilometers beyond the defense line to patrol the front, striking any poisonous zombies immediately. At the same time, I will instruct the soldiers on the defense line to use incendiary bombs and high-temperature weapons as much as possible to destroy the poisonous zombies' gas production."

Qiu Qian nodded in agreement: "Alright, then proceed with your plan. However, you must be careful."

Liu Hao smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I can protect myself."

Qiu Qian pressed her earpiece and said, "Close-range personnel, prepare to receive supplies. The high-altitude airship will deliver anti-gas equipment and items to us. Prepare to receive."

Liu Hao boarded his mech. By then, the sky had already darkened, and the thick night fog was rising, making visibility extremely poor. The sentries on the defense line were patrolling, and the limited chemical defense equipment was distributed to the patrol personnel.

"Bang bang!" Sporadic gunshots rang out, and several screams came from the front line of the defense.

Whoosh!

A rocket, trailing fire and a tail flame, shot straight towards that area.

Immediately after, a loud explosion resounded, with flames soaring into the sky and smoke billowing. The roars of poisonous zombies and gunshots intertwined. A small number of zombies appeared stealthily around the defense line and were quickly eliminated by the defense personnel.

Several men sat there, with some zombie corpses not far away.

"Damn it, I've already thrown up three times today. I just went to the medical robot to check my blood sample, and I don't have many days left to live." The speaker's face was ashen. He directly injected himself with an antidote, and then another shot of adrenaline.

"Yeah, we injected Superpower Potion. We thought we could get through this crisis, but we didn't expect to fall into the hands of these poisonous zombies. I'm still a bit envious of Team Leader Qiu; everyone else has mild poisoning, but she seems completely fine." Another soldier wiped his face, a hint of indignation in his tone.

At this moment, Gao Shengqiang's voice reached the patrol team members.

"What was that explosion just now?"

"Reporting, sir, five zombies snuck through in the dark. We've already taken them down. However, our captain is severely poisoned; he's not going to make it."

"Bullshit! I'm not going to make it? I just injected an antidote and adrenaline; I'm full of energy right now!" The captain stood up and dusted himself off.

Gao Shengqiang's words came through: "Have your captain return; the base's antidote has arrived."

The captain snatched the earpiece from the communications soldier and said, "I'm not going back. If I don't die this time, I'll die next time. The sooner I die, the sooner I can reincarnate. I'm sick of it."

Gao Shengqiang was silent for a long time, then said, "Don't say such disheartening things. The alliance's front line will eventually push to our position. By then, as long as high-speed communication base stations are set up, a mechanical legion will take over for us."

"That's after I die; what does it have to do with me? I'm taking my men to continue patrolling!" The captain directly hung up the phone.

Gao Shengqiang gritted his teeth in anger but was helpless. He knew this captain, Mo Fei. During the day's defense, he was at the very front of the line. A self-detonating mist zombie was only five meters away from him. Over a dozen people in that area were the most severely poisoned, dying one after another within an hour.

Only he survived, his internal organs filled with toxins, yet he stubbornly lived until now by relying on antidotes and adrenaline. Even with poor visibility at night, the team members could see the black aura on his face.

At this moment, the soldiers on the defense line successively received the new antidote. Although it still couldn't completely resist the invasion of the poisonous mist, the symptoms of poisoning were significantly alleviated.

"Team Leader Qiu, Mo Fei is still alive!" Gao Shengqiang reported the situation to Qiu Qian.

"Oh, go, bring him back to see me!" Qiu Qian said.

Such strong toxin immunity in a person is almost impossible for humans. The Superpower Potion Mo Fei injected was an ordinary one, so to have such anti-toxin ability also indicated that this person was extraordinary. They had to find a way to send him back to the base.

Soon, Mo Fei was brought before Qiu Qian. Under the tent's light, the veins on Mo Fei's forehead bulged, his face was pitch black and shiny with a greasy sheen, and his skin texture was like dried cured meat, extremely terrifying.

"Boss, we've found a special individual who can resist zombie toxins." Qiu Qian didn't dare to delay and quickly contacted Tian Ming, who was far away at the base, through her clone.

"Hmm, I'll send a clone over to take a look!"

As soon as Tian Ming finished speaking, two minutes later, a black mist condensed in the tent, and Tian Ming's clone appeared before Mo Fei.

Looking at the man before him, disfigured by the poison gas, Tian Ming's face showed a hint of admiration.

"What's your name?" Tian Ming asked.

"My name is Mo Fei. I was patrolling just fine, why did you bring me here?" Mo Fei's face was filled with displeasure.

Tian Ming wasn't angry and asked, "Do you know you're about to die?"

"Die? If I die, I die. Just give me a few more adrenaline shots; I need to kill a few more zombies before I can die," Mo Fei said stubbornly.

Tian Ming shook his head and said, "No more. Come back to the base with me. I have a way to snatch you back from the hands of death."

"No, I'm already tired of it."

Tian Ming smiled calmly and said, "You don't have a choice in that. Number One, bring him back to me." Tian Ming's consciousness left the clone, and Number One quickly transformed into armor, enveloping Mo Fei. He lifted into the air and, under the cover of night, swiftly flew south.

"Let go of me! I still need to kill zombies!"
