Chapter 56 Black Mist
"Ah--" the fat man screamed and turned around to seek help from his comrades, but what he saw were several black gun barrels that were raised quickly!
"Bang, bang, bang!" After a few gunshots, the fat man and the zombie Zhao Wanyi were both shot in the head. These soldiers had seen many of their companions bitten by zombies, so they showed no mercy.
A few gunshots attracted the attention of others , and everyone nearby looked over, but their expressions were filled with unspeakable fear.
Zhang Hongtao immediately discovered that these people’s eyes were not directed at them, but at something behind them!
He turned his head and immediately discovered that large cracks had appeared on the surface of the dark building behind him, extending from the roof to the ground. In a short while, hundreds of cracks had reached the bottom of the building, and the entire building made a monster-like roar!
"Run, the building is going to collapse!" Someone shouted, and the people around immediately ran forward.
Then a huge roar was heard, and the building collapsed, turning into a pile of rubble, and a huge amount of smoke and dust covered the block.
"What the hell is going on? Did the building collapse?" Zhang Hongtao cursed. He was also very puzzled. Did the bombardment just now collapse the building? But judging from the speed at which the cracks appeared, it didn't seem like that...
"Look over there!" a bald man shouted, pointing towards the distance.
The people nearby looked in the direction of his finger and immediately discovered that in the distance, similar buildings were collapsing, leaving behind a cloud of dust. On the information screen of Yang Wei, the commander of the First Army of the Provisional Government of the Red Star Republic, a hundred buildings collapsed at the same time in the entire Muyang City. These buildings were exactly in the center of where the zombies had stood before!
As this strange thing happened, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked around nervously, not knowing what was about to happen.
No matter how arrogant they were before, after all, they were in a city of zombies, and danger could come at any time.
Zhang Hongtao lay in front of a broken wall, holding up his submachine gun, and nervously looked at the street in front of him. On this street, there were still a small number of zombies standing there like plants, motionless.
At the place where the collapsed building was, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and a huge black shadow appeared faintly, almost as tall as the original building. No one knew what it was.
Finally, after about twenty minutes, the smoke and dust on the ruins had almost dissipated, and the people around finally saw clearly that the huge black shadow was actually a round black columnar object with a diameter of more than ten meters and a height of dozens of meters or nearly a hundred meters. It stood there like a sharp sword, piercing the sky!
"This... what is this? Could it be that these zombies also make fire to cook and built a chimney?" Zhang Hongtao smiled unnaturally and wanted to tell a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but he found that everyone around him had a look of fear on their faces, staring at the "big chimney" in front of them and dared not speak.
One hundred huge black chimneys appeared throughout Muyang City!
"Boom——" A dull roar sounded from Muyang City, as if a drumstick hit everyone's heart hard, and even the ground shook slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hongtao discovered that thick red veins began to appear in the black condensate under his feet, extending towards the black pillars in front of him. After these red veins appeared at the roots of the pillars, these huge black pillars all tilted downward. Then, a huge amount of black smoke rolled out from the top of the pillars, spreading like a giant black umbrella and spreading in all directions.
"Buzz--" A sound like a horn appeared and spread throughout the entire Muyang City in an instant. Then, Zhang Hongtao saw that the zombies not far away suddenly opened their blood-red eyes at the same time, turned around and pounced towards humans!
Looking at their appearance, they don’t seem to be running out of energy or about to die. They are even faster and crazier than the ordinary zombies before!
"Fire, fire!" an officer next to him shouted frantically.
He didn't even need to say a word. The terrified human soldiers had already pulled the trigger, tearing the zombies in the distance into pieces with a hail of bullets.
At this moment, there were suddenly bursts of dull footsteps coming from the remaining buildings around, followed by the sound of breaking glass. One by one, the zombies that had been sleeping for a long time broke through the glass windows and fell from the sky, landing among the human army.
A brutal fight begins!
"Kill, kill all these bastards!" Zhang Hongtao yelled frantically, the barrel of his gun already reddening. At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from behind him, followed by a sharp pain in the back of his neck. His vision suddenly began to spin, and in the moment when it was about to go dark, he saw a zombie standing behind a headless corpse, biting it madly.
This headless corpse looks somewhat familiar...
Similar scenes were constantly played out in various places in Muyang City. The remaining millions of "scarecrow" zombies in Muyang City all opened their eyes, howled miserably, and pounced on the humans who dared to invade their nests!
The unstoppable force with which they entered the city just now caused these human soldiers to lose their vigilance. They immediately suffered a great deal and were caught in a tough battle.
Two hundred thousand human soldiers, among the millions of remaining zombies, were like a stone in a basin of water. In an instant, they were submerged by the tide!
“Damn it, what the hell is going on? Can anyone tell me what happened in there!?” On a military information vehicle that served as a temporary headquarters outside Muyang City, Yang Wei kept slapping the holographic screen in front of him and yelled angrily.
On the holographic screen in front of him, there was only a gray light spot flickering continuously, and nothing could be seen clearly. The entire Muyang City seemed to have been shrouded in a huge black cover.
Just now, he saw with his own eyes that a hundred buildings collapsed at the same time, revealing a hundred huge black pillars. After the pillars began to smoke, he could no longer see anything. There were only gray spots of light left after the strong electronic interference.
Moreover, he was now unable to get in touch with the troops in the city, and there was only noise in the communicator.
And all these things happened in just a few minutes!
Although no one knew what exactly happened inside, even a fool could imagine what happened to the human army when he heard the sudden intensive gunfire coming from inside.
But Yang Wei didn't dare to rush into the city. He was only accompanied by a guard force consisting of one hundred modified humans and two thousand ordinary soldiers. In a war of this scale, they could not play any significant role.
"Report! The Intelligence Department called, black smoke appeared in all the ruined cities at the same time, with strong electronic interference. Our electronic reconnaissance system has a large blind spot! General Li Zhenhui urgently ordered that the combat troops immediately stop fighting and withdraw. The combat troops must withdraw immediately!" A hurried voice suddenly came from the military's dedicated line.
Hearing this, Yang Wei's face immediately turned pale and he sat down on the chair...
"Withdraw? Withdraw your grandma!" Yang Wei smiled bitterly, "It's too late, too late. I hope that only a few of my troops can be left..."
He closed his eyes. The shrill howls that continued to come from the distant Muyang City continued to pierce his mind like steel needles...

In a dilapidated building, a shadowy figure was sitting on the sofa in a daze.
The owner of this figure is a pale-faced boy with delicate features. If you don't know him, you might think he is a well-mannered college student. However, his eyes are tightly closed, but his eyelids are twitching constantly.
"Boss, eat something. You haven't eaten or drunk anything for seven days." Han Jialuo persuaded him while holding a piece of biscuit. This was the only thing in the house. Because Li Feng had been sitting here motionless , Miao Yang and his team stayed with him closely, fearing that something might happen to Li Feng. Fortunately, they found a small cellar in the house and found some food and water inside.
Lifeng did not respond as if he had not heard anything. His twitching eyelids indicated that he was thinking intensely, or perhaps having a strange dream.
At this moment, a melodious humming sound suddenly came from a distance, like the cry of a whale. Li Feng's eyes, which had not been opened for several days, suddenly opened!
In the sunken eye sockets, a strange light flashed in the blood-red eyeballs as they looked towards the ruins of the city in the distance.
I saw black smoke covering the sky and the sun spreading from the ruins of the city!
