Chapter 162: Difficult choice
An American police officer drew out the M1911 pistol from his waist because the main weapon assault rifle ran out of ammunition and continued to fight the zombies that came. But his marksmanship is really good, and the 9mm pistol bullet is powerful enough to break the head of a zombie, and it is also very fierce.
During the retreat, the officer stumbled upon a lonely ordinary zombie in a gloomy alley beside him approaching here. The huge Ant-Man couldn't control this kind of raid from the alley, so he stepped into the alley with no hesitation, intending to kill the zombie with deep white bone spurs just like before.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
All three shots in a row accurately hit the zombie's face, hitting its head high. However, what surprised this officer was that in the case of three shots like this before, the head of an ordinary zombie should have exploded like a watermelon.
However, the zombie in front of him was only slightly stagnated after his head was headshot, and the shot on the top of his head didn't even spray out much blood. When it knocked its high forehead down by the bullet, the officer discovered the problem.
In the wound on this zombie's face, all three bullets were firmly embedded in a layer of bone that shouldn't exist, causing this round of continuous shooting that should have shattered the mind only caused a little skin trauma. After using the subcutaneous bone shell to resist the bullet, the zombie stimulated the acceleration of adrenaline, and rushed towards the officer at a high speed that humans can't reach!
"Damn it!" The US military officer was scared and retreated in half, but in the previous battles, countless lessons learned had made him confirm that he would definitely not be able to escape these crazy zombies. He had to raise the M1911 pistol again and calmly fired at the head of the zombie who charged up.
"Bang! Bang!"
The M1911's rate of fire was not ideal in a pistol. During the time when the zombies were approaching, the U.S. police officer had only time to fire two shots. The 9mm bullet filled with kinetic energy hit the zombie’s forehead twice at close range, but only broke the skin, and was blocked by the bone shell that did not know when it came out. It can only slow the zombie’s advancement. The effect of it is not enough to kill it.
In the end, the officer was unavoidably rushed by the zombie. The two blade-like bone spurs protruding from the palm of his hand stabbed into his chest with the kinetic energy of running, and then he was brutally torn in half. .
It was not just the zombie in front of the unlucky officer that had changed. The entire human coalition in Queens of New York found that the enemy in front of them suddenly became a lot more difficult. It used to be a large piece of ordinary zombies that could be smashed with an assault rifle casually, but now, after a round of blasting, none of them fell. The bullets that should have penetrated the body of the zombie were blocked by the subcutaneous bone shell that appeared inexplicably. Except for the weak parts of the joints or continuous firing in the same area, otherwise light fire weapons began to use these images to mutate into medieval heavy armor. The zombies with knight-like protection have nothing to do.
The giant ant-man who had been responsible for clearing the road also began to feel that something was wrong. It used to be like stepping on a cockroach to step on a zombie, but now it feels like stepping on a snail. This was just a little more work for him, and it was indeed a complete disaster for the American soldiers at his feet.
"Da da da da..."
The M16 assault rifle, a conventional weapon of the U.S. military, has a continuous burst of gunfire. The 5.56mm rifle bullets are swept around like a violent wind. But most of the bullets were blocked by this sudden subcutaneous bone shell like a body armor. Even if the bodies of these zombies were beaten into a honeycomb, it would not necessarily be able to make them lose their mobility, because it is very likely that the dense muzzles are all Skin trauma only.
The most widely equipped light weapons were ineffective, leaving the US military at a greater disadvantage in the confrontation with the corpse tide. A large number of zombies relied on the newly added bone shells, braved the bullets of the American soldiers and strode forward, and then used adrenaline to bring high attack speed and sharp bone spurs in close combat, which caused great casualties.
"Nick, our opponent has evolved again!" The black widow, who was covering the remaining soldiers on the road, reported the situation to the headquarters with sweat. During the period, the BFG in her hand sent a Destroyer laser and directly smashed several zombies. Upper body.
"Please report in detail."
The Black Widow first confirmed whether there were any potential enemies around, and then ran to the remains of the zombie who had been bombarded by her just now, and replied while observing the wound.
"All zombies have a sudden change of a bone shell between the skin and muscles. This layer of bone shell basically covers the whole body. The thickness of the bone shell is relatively thin, but the hardness and toughness are very large. We equipped it with 5.56. Millimeter rifle bullets are almost impenetrable, and can only be effectively killed by shooting shotguns at close range or flamethrower. Many people hold a rod of scrap iron in their hands, and they won’t be able to hold on for long.”
"Is it... self-evolving again?" Nick muttered to himself uncomfortably. From the moment he discovered that zombies could mutate bone spurs, he had such an unknown premonition. Now this premonition has indeed come true. . The more the zombies evolve faster than human imagination, the result of delay will inevitably be the destruction of the human coalition.
"Sir?" Hill also looked at him worriedly, waiting for Nick to give orders.
In the end, Nick made up his mind with a heavy sigh, and ordered Hill: "Contact the White House and ask Mr. President for approval procedures for nuclear bomb launches."
As a result, we have reached this point. Once the President of the United States approves the nuclear bomb launch request, all nuclear weapons in the United States will enter the launch preparation state. All the staff on the console need to press the button gently, and any nuclear bomb silo will be available. It can carry out a devastating nuclear attack.
This may also mean that the United States has no choice.
"Nick, the soldiers haven't evacuated yet." The black widow continued to cover the retreat of the American soldiers on the road, and reminded Nick in the communicator at the same time.
"I understand that we will not fire a nuclear bomb until most people have left New York."
If the person communicating at this time is Captain America, then he will definitely ask Nick to allow all the soldiers to be allowed to fire the nuclear bomb. But now the person on the channel is a black widow, and she only hopes that most people can be saved.
Just as the black widow relaxed her vigilance a little, a small mass of yellow sand came under her feet. Before the black widow could react, a large amount of sand suddenly poured out and swallowed her in.
