Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 562
Chapter 562: Chapter 200: Outbreak of Infection, Ghost Water Cave Crab! (Part 2)
When he rushed back to the shore, the patrol team from the Red Zone hadn’t gone far.
Hearing the urgent footsteps behind them, the team members instinctively turned around, and a dozen flashlight beams instantly focused on him. Seeing it was Cheng Ye in battle armor, the patrol captain inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
But that sense of relief quickly turned into a chilling fear.
Cheng Ye didn’t stop his steps, instead, he rushed in front of them and halted at five meters away, speaking in a cold tone: “How many people are in your patrol team?”
“Two squad groups, 16 people…” The patrol captain was stunned, not understanding why Cheng Ye suddenly asked this.
“Then count how many are here now.” Cheng Ye’s gaze swept over the patrol team’s lineup, his eyes solemn.
“Now?” The captain’s heart tightened as he quickly shone the flashlight on each team member’s face, counting aloud: “1, 2, 3…10…11…14???”
The further he counted, the more his voice trembled, his legs nearly giving way beneath him.
Two squads of 16 people, now there were only 14 left!
Two people disappeared during patrol.
What was more terrifying was that none of them had noticed when the two disappeared, not even the slightest sign of struggle or cries!
“When we met by the river just now, you were still 16 people.” Cheng Ye gripped the Red Blade, forcing his voice to remain calm, but the fear in his heart surged like a tide, even making him entertain the thought of “dropping and running away.”
This job is simply inhuman.
Challenging the most primal fear in humans truly is a difficult barrier.
At this moment, even if a bunch of Infected Bodies appeared before him, he didn’t want to face such a bizarre situation.
Matching with the footsteps behind him earlier, could it be that the disappeared two had already set their sights on him?
“Contact Luokuke immediately! Hurry!” Cheng Ye thought for a moment and could no longer suppress the urgency in his voice. A loud shout jolted the Red Zone patrol members.
Only then did the patrol captain come to his senses, hastily pulling out the radio from his waist and pressing the communication button.
“Inspector Luo! Something happened! Our team… inexplicably lost two people!”
“What?” Luo’s voice on the other end of the radio instantly lost its daytime calmness, turning abruptly cold, “Where are you now?”
“By the riverside, Inspector Cheng is also beside us…”
“Hand the communicator to him!”
Cheng Ye took the radio, only to hear Luo’s voice: “Inspector Cheng, lead everyone back to the red-blue boundary immediately, consider it a favor you’re doing me.”
“Okay.”
Cheng Ye responded briefly, tossed the radio back, and turned to the patrol team, saying in a deep voice: “You lead the way, I’ll cover the rear, retreat directly to the boundary, no one is allowed to look back, fall behind, or… speak!”
“Yes!”
Two comrades had already disappeared, still doing patrols was pointless!
The fear at this moment was far more suffocating than darkness.
The team members were entirely in panic, without needing further urging from Cheng Ye. Each gripped their flashlight and gun, hurriedly rushing back.
Cheng Ye followed at the end of the team, his gaze fixed on the 14 backs ahead, palms inevitably sweating slightly.
Just bringing everyone back to the boundary isn’t worth a favor.
Luo clearly already knew something, and this might be what he found out during the day.
Sure enough, after just a dozen steps forward, the team member at the end suddenly convulsed, staggering sideways as if drunk.
Even though he had been warned not to look back, his head was twisted forcefully by an invisible hand, turning a full 180 degrees.
In an instant, his face turned over, and that once-honest middle-aged man’s face pulled into an indescribably eerie grin, stiff and twisted, like silently saying…
“Congratulations, you found me!”
Buzz.
In an instant, malice from the wilderness surged like a tide, suffocating everyone.
Everything happened in a flash, the teammates running forward didn’t notice, the companion behind had silently entered an infected outbreak phase, starting a bizarre mutation.
Cheng Ye’s footsteps halted.
The two froze simultaneously, but in the blink of an eye, a three to four-step distance opened up between them and the team ahead.
The middle-aged man exposed his teeth, black-green saliva dripping down the corners of his mouth, eyes muddled yet frenzied.
Staring at Cheng Ye’s face, only one thought remained in his mind.
Purify.
Purify!
Purify this… trash!!!
Yet.
To the middle-aged man’s surprise, the “trash” before him didn’t seem frightened by his transformation.
The face under the helmet paused, surprisingly squeezing out a smile.
In an instant, fiery red lines crept up both sides of that young face, exuding a scorching oppressive force.
And on the forehead, a golden flame symbol, almost unbearable to look at directly, lit up abruptly.
What is this?
The middle-aged man froze, with his remaining consciousness, he couldn’t help squinting his eyes to take a closer look.
However.
Thump, thump.
The massive figure in front, defying physical laws, took two steps forward, seeming to step on air and rising half a meter high, ignoring gravity.
In the next second, a taut right leg swung out like a steel whip, kicking over with terrifying force.
“Laugh, you, damn!!!”
In an instant, enormous power exploded fully, accompanied by a sharp whistling as it tore through the air, infused with the full explosive force of Iron Body and Extraordinary Coexistence State, crashing into the man’s temple.
How terrifying was the force of this kick?
Boom!!!
The middle-aged man, caught off guard, didn’t even raise his right hand to block, and his entire head, together with his neck, exploded upon contact.
