Rotting Land: Survive

"Bang! Crunch!" With the twist of the car body, the rear of the car unsurprisingly collided with the Jianghuai car, the powerful impact causing Old Zhao’s car to shake violently.

Fortunately, Wang Zhongyu had already given a warning, and Old Zhao, who was gripping the wheel tightly, quickly regained control after a slight adjustment.

The bus, after briefly touching the Jianghuai car, immediately maneuvered in a serpentine fashion to break free, leaving behind a dead mutated wolf carcass falling off.

The whole process took no more than 10 seconds, with the contact time being even less than 3 seconds, but it was this short duration that successfully killed another mutated wolf.

"Hiss-oh!"

The mutated wolf on the roof, witnessing the entire process, rose up and howled towards the sky.

Through its roar, the survivors could easily discern the substantial anger of the mutated wolf.

Wang Zhongyu, however, paid it no mind, thinking to himself, "If you’re brave enough, come down; stop babbling up there."

This was his territory, and Wang Zhongyu had the audacity to boast; he believed that as long as the beast dared to descend, he would find a way to take it down.

The howling of the wolf on the roof also caught the attention of the remaining three mutated wolves, who collectively slowed their pace, turning to head back.

Tang Xiaoquan saw the beasts all turning around and didn’t dare to be neglectful, quickly picked up the hand-held radio to inform the whole team: "Attention, attention, the wolf pack is heading towards you! The wolf pack is heading towards you!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhongyu immediately slammed the brakes, snatched the hand-held radio from Lei Tong’s hand, and instructed, "Brother Hu, it’s your turn now! Remember to maintain speed and try your best to keep distance from the mutated wolves!"

"OK! Don’t worry!"

Watching Hu Xiaodong’s small truck veer diagonally past, Wang Zhongyu then issued instructions: "Xiao Tang, Plan C, you can release the ’Big Killer’ now!"

"Alright!" Tang Xiaoquan, receiving the order, turned back and gestured to Li Xiaoxin in the tail compartment, who immediately understood. He took a cubic wooden box and opened the car door, pushing it out.

"We’ve sorted it out here! Now it’s up to you, Brother Hu!"

Hu Xiaodong didn’t respond, his attention fully focused on the road ahead.

After rushing 400 meters, three dark shadows appeared at the edge of the field of vision, also moving at high speed towards him.

The right foot stomped heavily on the accelerator, the gauge needle instantly soaring, the small truck’s body shaking due to the engine’s intense roar, and sitting inside, Hu Xiaodong felt the car becoming a bit uncontrollable, as if he would take off at any moment.

The leading "mutated wolf" unsurprisingly collided with the small truck, and Hu Xiaodong’s front windshield immediately scattered into fragments.

This severely obstructed his vision, and the aggressive Hu Xiaodong raised the steel blade, decisively smashing the windshield to pieces.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!" With the removal of the glass, the north wind howled into the car with violent ferocity, hitting Hu Xiaodong’s face with both pain and chill, the sensation like being stripped naked and thrown into an ice cellar, the powerful wind force making Hu Xiaodong’s eyes only capable of barely a slit.

Yet even so, he had no intention of slowing down, consistently pressing the accelerator pedal to the maximum, the speedometer nearly breaking.

Come on! Come on! Come chase me!

The cold wind not only chilled Hu Xiaodong’s body temperature but also, to a certain extent, stirred his bloodlust.

He diligently searched for the position of the "Big Killer" in the foreground, and finally, after traveling 200 meters, spotted the red-painted cubical wooden box.

Seeing the cubical wooden box, Hu Xiaodong’s suspended heart settled slightly.

He glanced at the rearview mirror, the three mutated wolves still tailing behind.

"OK! Old Xu, I have located the target, wait for my command to initiate the detonation!"

"Received! You stay safe!"

After completing the exchange, Hu Xiaodong instinctively tapped the pedal again, but he had already reached the bottom of the accelerator pedal, leaving no more room to play.

The small truck sped rapidly over a distance before whisking past the red wooden box.

Hu Xiaodong quickly adjusted the vehicle body, then locked his gaze onto the rearview mirror.

Upon seeing the three mutated wolves about to pass the red wooden box instantly, he grabbed the hand-held radio and yelled loudly: "Release!!"

His finger already positioned over the activator, upon hearing Hu Xiaodong’s shouted command, Tang Xiaoquan instinctively pressed the round button.

At that moment, a "bang" was heard, a powerful blast wave erupted from the red box, the box shattering instantly, countless stones and iron nails shooting out, even though Hu Xiaodong’s small truck had driven out tens of meters, it still couldn’t avoid being hit by the "Hidden Weapon," making a "ping ping ping ping" sound.

"Xiao Guo! Are you alright?" Li Zhong’s first reaction after surviving the perilous speed was to check in on his brother in the rear compartment.

After waiting for 8 seconds, Li Guo’s voice came through the receiver with a hint of fear: "I’m, I’m fine."

"Phew!" Li Zhong let out a long sigh of relief.

"Xiao Hu! How’s the situation?" Xu Renjie slowed his car, nervously asking after clearly hearing the exploding sound.

Hu Xiaodong calmly confirmed the situation at the rear and truthfully reported: "Two mutated wolves got their heads blasted! One was blown away by the wave, location unknown!"

"OK!" Xu Renjie nodded satisfactorily upon receiving the news, the actual use effect of the "Big Killer" exceeded his expectations.

"Li Guo, the thing you made is really powerful!" Witnessing the whole scene, Hu Xiaodong couldn’t help but exclaim.

To this, Li Guo emotionally responded: "I can only say Uncle Zhao’s idea was good."

In fact, the "Big Killer" had been developed long ago, initially to counter the attacks of Yang Buwei and others, Old Zhao utilized the airbag of Liu Yunpeng’s Ferrari sports car to create a remote-controlled bomb.

The principle is actually very simple: manually triggering the airbag explosion, knowing that the instantaneous pressure of this thing is very horrific, as long as applied properly, it’s not a problem to kill.

But various subsequent events caused the "Big Killer" never to be used, eventually learning that the base needed relocation, Li Zhong and Li Guo remodeled the "Big Killer."

Li Guo modified the control chip of the airbag, adjusting its detonation pressure to a controllable value.

While Li Zhong then crafted a set of remote control software to enhance its practical effectiveness.

Finally, to increase the attack intensity of the "Big Killer," the brothers "Zhong" and "Guo" respectively added stones and iron nails to it.

Thus, as long as it was detonated in battle, the continued explosive wave would force the "hidden weapons" within to spread out, ensuring any enemies within the range, even if not killed, would be crippled.

And with this mission, the three mutated wolves, two perished on the spot, one disappeared with terrifying results, fully demonstrating that this contraption indeed deserved the title "Big Killer."

"Everyone stay alert, pay attention to the surroundings, and be careful of the missing mutated wolf!"

Although the wolf is out of sight, it doesn’t guarantee the beast has perished; after all, as long as these creatures’ brain centers aren’t destroyed, even if completely dismembered, they can still live.

Therefore, before leaving this trouble-filled area, Old Xu had no choice but to assume the mutated wolf might not be dead. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
