Chapter 468: Chapter 466: Dead Man Army

In the pitch-dark alley, four men got out of a black sedan.

Leng Kai unfolded the stock of his KN44, switched off the safety, and screwed on a silencer.

Xiao Qiang slung a DLQ33 on his back and loaded his MPX9.

Yuri opened the trunk and handed out four helmets from inside; a KN44 equipped with a 4x scope hung on his chest, and he shouldered a rocket launcher.

Ghost took the helmet, put it on, held the HBR to his chest, and walked behind Leng Kai.

Leng Kai looked back at them, his visor displaying combat information and target navigation. This task force’s mission was to capture Johnny Bloodface under the cover of the Black Medicine Investigation Team.

"The investigation team is already exchanging fire with the Yinan Defense Army, so we are safe now. Price and Soap have already taken a different route, and we have 20 minutes to meet up with them at the Black Court Hotel," said Ghost as he tapped on a tablet.

Leng Kai swiped his fingers in front of him, and a map appeared before his eyes. They were approaching the core of the battle zone, already hidden in the uninhabited residential ruins before the Black Medicine Army began their attack.

In the evening, bombings had destroyed the city’s air-defense system, and the task force was activated an hour after the Black Medicine Army officially started their operation.

Ghost was the leader of their team.

"It will take about 15 minutes to walk from here. Try to avoid engaging the enemy," Leng Kai said as he shared the planned route with his team.

"Let’s get started then," Yuri said.

Leng Kai donned his mask and helmet. After Xiao Qiang patted his back, he patted Ghost’s back, and the four quickly moved through the dark streets under the dim red sky.

minutes later, they reached their designated location. The Black Court Hotel had been bombed into a pile of black concrete structures, but according to the map’s coordinates, they were in the right place.

"Where’s Price?" Leng Kai asked.

The HUD in his visor didn’t show any friendly forces nearby.

Ghost tried to contact Price, but suddenly took off his headset.

"What’s going on?" Xiao Qiang asked.

Leng Kai pressed the communication button on his headset, only to hear a woman’s shrill scream in the channel, the volume unknowingly maximized, nearly puncturing his eardrums.

He cursed and yanked off his headset, saying, "Electromagnetic interference... it’s superpower!"

At that moment, the sound of trucks came from the end of the street, and the four quickly hid in the ruins of the hotel.

Leng Kai crouched by the broken wall on the second floor, observing through the scope on his gun.

He saw five military trucks carrying soldiers heading southwest. Their faces were deathly pale, dirty, some with intestines hanging out from their abdomens, and others with half their heads blown off.

These men sat silently in the truck beds, driving towards the center of the warzone without a word.

Ghost took out a camera and snapped over twenty photos until the convoy had left, and then the four climbed out from the ruins.

"Fuck, the trucks were carrying dead people," Soap said.

"The kind that move," Ghost added.

He uploaded the photos to the group channel in their visors, and everyone browsed through them on their HUDs.

Although it was dark, the military intelligence camera’s high-magnification night vision lens, paired with AI algorithms, still captured clear images.

The soldiers in the trucks were indeed dead, their facial expressions showing the lack of muscle control typical of a corpse.

They bore various wounds, all of them lethal.

One photo caught everyone’s attention: in the fourth truck, there was a woman dressed in special forces combat gear.

She had long hair, wore a mask, and her pupils flickered with a blue light.

"Superpower Special Department! We guessed right," Yuri said.

"Johnny used superpower technology in exchange for protection, as expected," Leng Kai said.

The four of them heard a noise behind them and quickly raised their guns to be on alert, only to see a woman with a ponytail and bare arms jump down from the ruins.

"Wang Mingxue!" Leng Kai recognized her, even though she was wearing a mask.

Then Soap and Price followed, jumping from the gap, with Gates being the last.

"You’re late," Ghost said.

"We ran into some trouble on the road, a few of the dead blocked our way," Price said.

"Look at this photo," Ghost shared the photo.

While they looked at the photo, Wang Mingxue took a deep breath from under her mask, holding the classic M4 with a 3x and red dot scope attached.

"How did you deal with those dead?" Leng Kai asked.

"The dead are tough, they feel no pain, and shooting in the head is useless. You have to aim for the arms and knees to completely disable them," Wang Mingxue said.

"I guess it’s superpowers then. Johnny might have deployed more than one superpowered soldier, we need to move fast," Price said after examining the photo.

Two squads merged, heading toward the factory where Johnny was hiding.

Meanwhile...

Wang Ye climbed up the drain, turned around to pull his teammates up, and the three of them lay on the ground, hiding behind some trees and threw two grenades toward a cluster of enemies in the distance.

The explosion lifted a layer of black soil, and Wang Ye saw three men fly up half a meter. He turned around, peeked out from the other side of the tree, and began firing in short bursts.

The group didn’t retreat, and Wang Ye easily hit one, the three bullets striking the torso.

"Hit them! Hit them!" Wang Ye repeated.

He took cover for a while, then peeked again, only to see that the man was still standing there shooting at the building.

"You missed!" his teammate said.

"I definitely hit him!" Wang Ye insisted.

He lay down and fired two more shots at the man, one hitting the right arm, and another hitting the head.

The man’s body shivered and fell down.

"Look! Hit him!" Wang Ye said.

However, the next second, the man stood up again, spotting Wang Ye.

"Can’t kill him!" his teammate also exclaimed.

At that moment, Da Gu cursed over the comm channel, "Where did they get these undead?"

"Superpowered soldier?" Wang Ye asked.

A rocket was fired from the third floor of the building, the crew quickly lay down, and the intense explosion caused the three big trees to slowly fall, Wang Ye carried his rifle and shifted position, firing several shots at the approaching dead.

The bullets had no effect on them; they felt no pain, were not afraid to die. No, they were already dead.

How do you kill a dead man?

As those people got closer, Wang Ye could see clearly, among them were not only the Yinan Defense Army but also the dead Black Medicine Army and civilians. The deceased had been controlled to pick up rifles from the ground and attack.

Finally, Wang Ye understood where all the city’s residents had gone.

More dead emerged from the darkness, stepping over the flames and onto the streets, slowly advancing toward the building. The rifle company organized a volley of fire toward the street.

The dead were knocked to the ground, yet they got up again and ran toward the building. Their bodies had not yet begun to decay, and as long as the fatal wounds at the time of death did not affect the joints, these dead could move just like a living person.

Wang Ye hit one in the thigh, the bullets tearing through the thigh muscles, causing the man to stumble and fall, unable to get back up.

"Shoot the legs! Shoot the legs!" he shouted.
