Seeing this situation, Xiao Fan knew that his plan to sneak past without firing was doomed to fail. At this moment, other than fighting back with gunfire, there was no other way.
Just as he was about to give the order to open fire, his gaze suddenly swept past the flamethrower warriors Yang Yun and Zhang Chuang beside him.
"Hmm...why don't you two try."
"Understood. Zhang Chuang, let's get ready."
The two flamethrower warriors immediately crouched down, while the rest of the warriors covered them, even the military dogs did not rush ahead.
As the pack of wolves drew closer and closer, already within forty meters, Yang Yun and Zhang Chuang opened fire at the same time.
Hiss...Boom!
A strong smell of oil spread out. Two gigantic dragons of fire billowed wildly from the flamethrowers,
The fiery dragons were dozens of meters long and several meters thick. As the two men swung their flamethrowers left and right, the flames completely enveloped an area fifty meters in radius!
The wolf pack had just charged over and was immediately engulfed by the flames, without even a chance to dodge. Xiao Fan only heard miserable shrieks coming from within the flames!
After about three seconds, the sea of red receded as all flammable things had caught fire, no need to waste more fuel from the flamethrowers.
He saw burning figures running madly in all directions like headless flies. Since the flames had hit them head-on, they fled in other directions. But most of the wolves did not make it far before collapsing to the ground, rolling over a few times before being reduced to ashes in the raging fire.
Their fur became the perfect kindling, only a few lucky ones who randomly ran into water sources plunged in head first. But there was no sign of them coming out either, likely drowned if not burned to death.
Seeing this, Xiao Fan was overjoyed. He did not expect the imminent crisis to be resolved with just two shots from the flamethrowers. This was absolutely worth celebrating.
But his delight did not last long, as the smell of roast meat spreading in the area had already attracted more mutant beasts to move in their direction.
"Not good, we can't stay here. Let's go!"
Xiao Fan led his team to head southwest, away from where most of the mutant beasts were coming from.
But before they made it far, the first wave of mutant beasts had arrived.
The reason they came so quickly was because they were from the trees.
It was a huge troop of monkeys!
These monkeys seemed to have come from Monkey Mountain. With no one managing them after the apocalypse, the entire zoo's woods had become their paradise.
The previously petite monkeys were now all the size of gorillas, and some of the adult males were as big as silverbacks, swinging mighty arms as they charged over.
Seeing Xiao Fan's team, these monkeys paid no attention even to the roast meat on the ground. Screeching, they chased after them.
"Damn monkeys, this will attract even more creatures."
Xiao Fan and his team fled while watching their path, but the monkeys were quickly catching up to the rear where Engineer Ai Yin was.
They absolutely could not lose Ai Yin. Xiao Fan had no choice but to order them to open fire.
The warriors who had been restraining themselves instantly unleashed a metal storm!
Ratatat...ratatat...ratatatat!
The popping sound of gunshots rang out. The monkey troop that was just about to catch them suffered heavy casualties all at once.
Amidst the flying blood flowers, one monkey after another was slammed to the ground. One large lead monkey was shot into a sieve directly.
Although the gunfire suppressed the monkeys' chase, the side effects appeared instantly.
Hearing the gunshots here, more and more purple dots started converging from all directions on the map. At a glance, the map was covered in a dense blanket beyond count, at least over ten thousand.
"Not good, quickly find a place to hide!"
"Commander, there is a building up ahead!"
A long rectangular building appeared, with the sign already fallen off, unclear what kind of place it was.
Xiao Fan did not even have time to examine it closely, let alone check the radar. He led everyone to rush towards the building. As long as they got indoors, relying on defensive tactics, Red Alert's combat power would still be very strong.
There was a long corridor inside the building, splitting into several branching paths midway. Xiao Fan moved forward along the main corridor.
But he halted after just a few steps.
Because he sensed a strong bloody and fishy smell in the air.
"What place smells so awful and fishy? Did we run into a pigpen?"
Xiao Fan looked left and right, his eyes falling upon the glass walls lining the corridor interior.
There was information about animals on the glass wall.
"King Cobra, reptile, mainly lives in the tropical and subtropical forests, highly venomous..."
Without reading the full passage, Xiao Fan realized where they had ended up.
This long building was the Reptile and Amphibian House!
From the corner of his eyes, he spotted that the glass here had shattered, with a huge hole below. The snakes had likely already come out.
While he didn't see any in the corridor, the building interior space was huge, with a section resembling a tropical rainforest where venomous snakes must surely be lurking, as the radar also showed many purple dots inside.
"There is a purple dot very close to us..."
Xiao Fan slowly raised his head and looked up at the ceiling.
The ceiling was also badly damaged, with exposed rafters. Xiao Fan clearly saw an enormous snake coiled atop a beam.
Its lustrous green body was six to seven meters long and as thick as an arm.
"That's...a giant green bamboo viper, it actually grew to such size?"
The snake also slowly swung its massive, ferocious triangular head to face Xiao Fan's direction.
Its flickering red tongue kept darting in and out, coming closer and closer.
And in the other shattered glass openings along the corridor, more and more snake mutants were starting to poke their heads out!
"Don't act rashly. Flamethrower warriors, get ready. Snakes are cold blooded, I'll count one two three, then you immediately open fire. Clear the path with flames, then we'll rush straight through this corridor and exit at the other end in one go. Once out, as long as we get through Hundred Birds Garden ahead, we'll reach the zoo office building to snipe from there."
Xiao Fan also didn't plan to immediately leave the zoo, knowing escape would be hard right now. Only by eliminating as many mutant beasts in this area as possible would he have a chance to get away.
But this building wouldn't work as a sniping spot so he must change locations.
The giant snake on the ceiling had discovered them now. Its long body started descending while the fiery tongue kept lashing closer to the people below.
And within the other shattered glass openings in the corridor, more and more snake mutants were starting to poke out their heads!
"Get ready...one..."
"Two!"
"Three!"
