Immediately after, Yan Hao rushed to the front of the car, wanting to pull Sinan, but in the chaos, he only saw Sinan leap across the other side of the highway, rolling into the green belt and hugging his head.
In the critical moment, Yan Hao couldn’t reach him and could only crouch down to protect his head.
The next instant, Zhou Rong pulled the trigger, and the armor-piercing explosive round whistled through the air, blowing the monster’s head off!
Boom—
The monster didn’t even have time to cry out; its body heavily smashed to the ground, finally motionless.
Flames burned on the corpse, making slight crackling sounds. The ruins were leveled, and the special forces, still in shock, jumped down from the armored vehicle.
Yan Hao stood up shakily, shaking his head, wanting to help Sinan.
But as soon as he took a step toward the roadside, he heard Sinan’s sharp stop: “Stay there!”
Yan Hao hesitated.
Sinan covered his nose and stepped back: “Don’t come over!”
Chun Cao patted his shoulder from behind, whispering: “Let him be embarrassed for a moment.”
The flames gradually extinguished, the putrid smell mixed with gunpowder smoke permeating the entire highway, zombies within hundreds of meters swept away by the explosion’s shockwave.
The asphalt road was pockmarked, radiating terrifying cracked patterns extending dozens of meters.
Sinan finally washed away the nosebleed with mineral water, sniffling as he approached. Everyone gathered around the huge corpse, with Zhou Rong using his submachine gun barrel to prod the monster’s remaining head tissue, softly saying: “Gorilla.”
Chun Cao was stunned: “King Kong?!”
Yan Hao was full of suspicion: “Impossible. It’s clearly infected.”
This huge black gorilla was completely rotting, fur fallen out, limbs exposing bone, emitting the unique zombie stench—though the foul smell was shocking, no one was paying attention to that now.
Everyone was incredulous, simultaneously forming a terrifying speculation.
“If the zombie virus can infect animals…” Yan Hao murmured. “But that’s not right. We haven’t seen other animals infected along the way. Rats, insects, chickens, ducks, cats, dogs… they all avoid zombies, and there are no records of zombie animals attacking humans.”
Zhang Yingjie also frowned deeply: “And how could the virus possibly mutate the carrier into a King Kong? Has the virus itself evolved? Impossible, the evolutionary direction is completely wrong.”
