270: Chapter 266: Appear 270: Chapter 266: Appear A pair of oily green eyes stared at the spot where Chen Hai was.
The monster opened its mouth wide, revealing two sharp fangs, and then it let out a roar.
When Chen Hai first saw this creature, he thought it looked extrely bizarre.
But whether the monster was dead or alive, he wasn’t certain.
Now, as soon as the monster opened its eyes, he could pretty much confirm that the pri culprit behind the annihilation of the two nearby households was undoubtedly this monster.
“This is…
a zombie…”
Although, the monster in front of him differed significantly from the zombies in the Xiangjiang films.
However, the mont he saw this thing, Chen Hai was sure of its identity.
The only thing that puzzled him was that the clothing on the monster was clearly contemporary.
Both the jacket and the trousers, though tattered, had not completely decayed yet, suggesting that not much ti had elapsed since its death.
Without sufficient ti, even with the nourishing from Corpse Nourishing Land, could a corpse grow green hair and turn into a zombie in such a short period?
Chen Hai was very skeptical about this.
But now was not the ti to consider these matters.
The existence of Divine Soul transcends reality, and under ordinary conditions, normal people can neither see nor touch the Divine Soul.
The monster, with its fierce eyes shimring in green, kept staring at where Chen Hai was.
Without a doubt, it had sensed Chen Hai’s presence and could see his Divine Soul body.
Since it could see his Divine Soul, it definitely had enough strength to harm him…
This basic knowledge, Chen Hai had long been aware of.
At the mont the monster roared at him, he didn’t hesitate and turned to run.
In his Divine Soul state, he had no ans to face a being with a real physical form, at least for the mont.
His main purpose for having his soul depart his body and enter these woods was rely to locate the monster’s hiding spot.
And now, he had effectively accomplished his mission.
No interest in stubbornly staying here to face off against the monster, Chen Hai wasn’t about to stick around.
Launching from the ground, Chen Hai’s speed was unrestricted as he shot towards the direction of his physical body.
“Boom, boom, boom…” Behind him, a patch of sod suddenly exploded.
The green-haired monster, its fangs fully bared, also burst forth from the ground following closely behind Chen Hai.
Zombies rely loathe sunlight.
In reality, even if exposed to sunlight, it wouldn’t cause much damage to a being with a real physical form like this.
In the Xiangjiang zombie films, those zombies are quite dumb, only able to hop around, unable to even walk properly.
Such zombies, in the face of modern weaponry systems, are rely live targets, posing no substantial threat.
But now, the creature that had shot out from the ground was as fast as lightning.
Compared to Chen Hai running at full speed, the monster was sowhat slower, but conservatively speaking, its speed was at least around ten to twenty ters per second.
Even though this speed couldn’t compete with a high-speed running car, in comparison to an ordinary person, it was astonishingly terrifying.
“Rat-a-tat… Rat-a-tat…” The sound of gunshots crackled like exploding beans.
An hour had passed while Chen Hai searched underground before locating the monster’s hiding spot.
With such an extended duration as a buffer, narrowing the encirclent and focusing the main blockade area on this Yin Land, the soldiers had already largely arrived in place.
The monster bursting through the ground had already completely alard the nearby stationed soldiers.
At night, due to poor visibility and being caught off guard, the chances of locking onto and hitting the monster were genuinely slim.
But now, it was broad daylight.
Despite the monster’s rapid flight, once it was fully exposed under the soldiers’ watch, it had turned into a live target.
In front of the curtain of bullets, the monster’s body, speedy as the wind, still faced bullets hitting it from ti to ti.
The power of rifle bullets was far beyond that of small handguns.
Even so, the bullets that hit the monster barely penetrated two to three inches into its flesh before getting lodged, unable to advance further.
“Roar, roar, roar…” Whether the zombie still retained any sense of pain was unknown to anyone.
The zombie creature had initially been closely pursuing Chen Hai.
Under the continuous hit of rifle bullets, its roars echoed ceaselessly, startling the birds nesting in these woods into fleeing en masse towards the edge of the forest.
Near the forest’s edge, where Chen Hai’s body was located.
Having waited here impatiently for half the day, old Fang and others, upon hearing the noises in the woods, looked at each other, a spark of joy in their eyes.
“It’s appeared, it’s definitely that monster!”
“We’ve been stationed here nearly a month, during the day, and we’ve never seen that monster show up before.”
“At this juncture, when the monster suddenly appeared, do you think it was Chen Hai’s doing?”
“It’s hard to say; maybe it was related to him, or maybe it was just a coincidence…”
Fang and a few of his subordinates whispered quietly.
Modern warfare is different from ancient tis.
As generals, they could stay in safe places and command; there was no need to charge into battle.
“Commander, we have encountered the monster.
It is covered in green hair, and bullets can’t penetrate it…”
“Good that it has appeared.
The gift we prepared for that monster, don’t hide it, just go at it directly.”
“Area Seven, requesting support, my God, that monster is so fast, it’s charging at us!”
“All squads pay attention, all squads pay attention, the target is in Area Seven, hurry up and support…”
Since the monster appeared, the walkie-talkies carried by Fang and his people had been constantly receiving various ssages.
They could no longer afford to protect Chen Hai’s physical body.
After obtaining real-ti battlefield conditions from the mountains, Fang and Ye Cheng briefly discussed and then conveyed their decision down the chain of command.
A few ters away, Chen Hai, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, finally opened his eyes and stood up.
“Brother Cheng, Brother Fang, the task you assigned , I have managed to complete it perfectly without disgrace!”
Chen Hai waved his hand to Fang and Ye Cheng not far away, signaling to them.
His gesture was not to claim credit, for he sought nothing from the military, and such rit was of no use to him.
He rely wanted to tell his uncles and Fang that he had not skimped on the task; to help them locate the hiding place of that sothing, he had indeed done quite a bit.
“Chen Hai, did your Divine Soul really depart to find that thing’s whereabouts?”
“You, why didn’t you notify us imdiately after finding that thing?
Why cause such a big commotion?”
Upon seeing Chen Hai, who had just stood up, Fang and a few others rely nodded at him solemnly, indicating they understood.
But Ye Cheng looked at him more intently with a complex expression, muttering his dissatisfaction.
The Corpse Monster that sprang from beneath the ground, after being hit by nurous bullets, did not chase after Chen Hai but directly killed the nearby soldiers.
What exactly was the battle situation like?
Although Fang, Ye Cheng, and others hadn’t experienced it themselves and couldn’t see the details, from the ssages they received, it seed there had already been significant casualties on their side.
The military had indeed prepared many heavy weapons to deal with that monster.
But when the monster charged into the crowd, braving a hail of bullets…
Unless Fang and others faced the pressure of issuing orders to fire on their own people, the powerful heavy weapons in their hands were almost useless.
Since the appearance of the monster until now, it had only been a matter of minutes.
Yet during this short ti, their casualties had already surpassed twenty to thirty.
Facing such a situation, Fang, Ye Cheng, and their companions could hardly maintain a pleasant facade.
If Chen Hai could have silently retreated after discovering the hiding place of that thing, then Ye Cheng and others would surely have made relevant preparations.
Perhaps they could have resolved the situation easily by directly using heavy firepower on the monster’s hiding place.
Instead, the monster suddenly sprang from the ground, putting them in such a passive position and causing such heavy casualties to their side.
“Brother Cheng, I discovered the monster at the sa ti it sensed my presence!”
“I didn’t want to create any commotion; I imdiately retreated from the monster’s hiding place.”
“But who knew, it would go crazy following out of the ground?”
Facing Ye Cheng’s complaints, Chen shrugged his shoulders and explained.
There had been many casualties, and Chen understood Ye Cheng’s current mood, but he didn’t believe he was at fault in this situation!
“Chen, isn’t your Little Five Thunder Skill trendously powerful?”
“I wonder, could you enter the forest once and entangle that thing for a while, allowing our boys to distance themselves from the monster?”
After a low discussion, Fang looked at Chen and suddenly spoke up, making a request.
“Brother Fang, are you and I going into the forest together?
If you have the courage, I am willing to risk my life with gentlen, no worries!”
“If you want to go alone into the forest to deal with that monster, I would definitely refuse.”
“I have seen the monster myself; bullets can’t penetrate it, and its strength is imnse.”
“With my weak arms and legs, one strike from it, and I might end up dead.”
“Don’t moralize about the spirit of sacrifice; those who burn themselves to light the path for others are indeed great and admirable.”
“But it doesn’t an I wish to be that kind of person.”
“Brother Cheng brought here to help during the dayti and find the whereabouts of that thing, I have already done enough for you.”
“You surely can’t expect to lose my life here, can you?”
…
Facing Fang’s request, a faint smile remained on Chen Hai’s face.
But the words he spoke were rather unpleasant and frankly quite blunt.
