Along the way, they encountered several more scattered groups of zombies, and without exception, they were all precisely targeted and killed by the robots before they could get close.
These zombies, which had once terrified students and even cost them their lives, were as fragile as paper in front of Zhou Ye's robotic infantry squad.
Soon, they arrived at the stairwell leading to the second floor.
The stairwell was dimly lit and reeked of a strong, foul stench of musty and bloody smells.
"There's movement up above." Zhou Ye frowned slightly. "There are quite a few, at least seven."
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of chaotic footsteps and the distinctive roars of zombies came from above the stairs.
Immediately afterwards, seven or eight zombies crowded together and emerged from the corner of the stairs, rushing down in a frenzy.
"Shields, hold the stairwell!" Zhou Ye ordered.
The shield-wielding robots immediately formed an impenetrable defensive line at the stairwell, with the shields tightly connected without leaving any gaps.
The robots that followed then raised their guns and aimed, waiting for the zombies to come within range.
"Bang bang bang!"
A dull thud rang out as the first few zombies slammed into the riot shield. The immense impact caused the shield to sway slightly, but the 1.5-inch robots remained motionless, their bases as solid as mountains.
"Fire!"
A barrage of gunfire erupted in the narrow stairwell, bullets raining down on the horde of zombies crowding the stairs.
Each bullet pierced the zombie's head precisely, spraying bursts of blood.
Zombies tumbled down the stairs like dumplings, quickly piling up a layer of corpses at the bottom.
The zombies behind them continued their charge, stepping over the corpses of their comrades, but none of them could break through the deadly defense line made of steel and firepower.
The gunfire in the stairwell stopped in less than half a minute.
All seven or eight zombies were eliminated, and their corpses filled the lower half of the staircase.
"That's really efficient."
Nami couldn't help but admire. If it were the three of them facing this situation, although they could also solve it, it would never be so easy. They would probably have to put in more effort and might even get injured.
Saeko Busujima pouted in dissatisfaction:
"It's so boring, it's not even a warm-up."
Zhou Ye ignored her and ordered:
"Two soldiers guard the stairwell, the rest of you follow me. Be vigilant, the licker might be up there."
He was the first to step onto the blood-stained stairs.
Chapter 58 Shizuka Marikawa
Zhou Ye stepped onto the filthy stairs, followed closely by the robot team.
The scenes from the second to the fifth floor are a microcosm of hell on earth.
The corridor and the walls were covered with splattered dark red bloodstains and unidentified tissue fragments.
Inside the open doorway, overturned furniture and signs of struggle were faintly visible.
Several mutilated corpses lay scattered on the ground, some so badly gnawed that their internal organs were dragged everywhere.
"vomit……"
Nami covered her mouth, her stomach churning.
Even with mental preparation, it's difficult to adapt to such a horrific scene.
Saeko Busujima frowned slightly, her grip on her katana tightening. This one-sided massacre left her feeling no joy in the fight.
"Stay alert."
Zhou Ye's voice was flat, as if the tragic scene before him was no different from the garbage on the roadside.
In his perception of the [Fragment of the Herrscher of Reason], there were no survivors on these floors, only some wandering zombies.
"Puff puff!"
The mechanical soldier's M4 rifle emitted a series of low, intermittent shots.
Every zombie that lunged out of the room or around the corner was instantly and accurately shot in the head, clean and swift.
They couldn't even get within ten meters of the group.
"These...are all faculty and staff?"
Nami watched as a female zombie dressed in a teacher's uniform fell, her voice hoarse.
"In the face of the T-virus, all beings are equal."
Zhou Ye responded calmly.
But what he was thinking was something else entirely: William Birkin, your gesture is certainly "grand".
Soon, the group arrived at the staircase leading to the sixth floor.
Just as the shield-wielding robot was about to step onto the sixth floor, Zhou Ye suddenly raised his hand.
"stop."
The robot squad froze instantly.
"Squeak—Crack!"
A sharp, piercing cry, like that of a monkey, came from the rooftop, filled with violence and madness.
Immediately afterwards, several dark figures pounced down from the hole in the ceiling above the sixth-floor stairwell and from the window at the end of the corridor!
It's a monkey!
No, to be precise, they are zombie monkeys infected with the T-virus!
They are slightly larger than ordinary monkeys, with hair loss revealing rotting skin, bloodshot eyes, exposed fangs, and drooling.
These zombie monkeys were incredibly agile, using all four limbs to quickly climb and leap across walls and ceilings, their target being Zhou Ye and his two companions in the group!
"Shotgun!"
Zhou Ye gave the order.
The two mechanical soldiers at the back of the column, who had been carrying Remington shotguns, immediately stepped forward and took the place of the M4 handgunner.
They raised their guns, aimed, and fired almost at the same time Zhou Ye finished speaking!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Remington shotgun roared, and the barrage of large-caliber shot instantly covered the onrushing horde of zombie monkeys.
A zombie monkey that was leaping in mid-air was hit head-on, its entire upper body was blasted to pieces, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Another zombie monkey that tried to flank from the side wall had its limbs severed by a shotgun blast, fell to the ground screaming, and was then finished off by a follow-up shot.
The remaining zombie monkeys were also riddled with bullets and fell from the walls or ceilings, twitching a few times before becoming still.
The entire firefight lasted only a few seconds.
A strong smell of gunpowder and an even more pungent stench of blood filled the air.
Nami and Saeko Busujima both instinctively held their breath.
This close-range shotgun firing has a far greater visual impact than previous rifle bursts.
Zhou Ye's gaze fell on a window at the end of the sixth-floor corridor that had been violently broken from the outside.
The shattered glass and deformed window frame are clearly the result of a large creature impacting or climbing the window.
"I see."
Zhou Ye whispered.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Nami asked.
"No wonder the faculty and staff dormitories, which are located behind the school gate and should theoretically be relatively safe, were infected so quickly," Zhou Ye explained.
"Besides the zombie dogs we encountered before, other animals infected with the T-virus have also started appearing in Raccoon City. It seems that the virus is spreading more rapidly than we thought."
He thought to himself: William, the spread of your T-virus is truly surprising. When people are desperate, they will come up with any method.
"With so many animals in Raccoon City, wouldn't it be impossible to guard against them all?"
Nami's face turned even paler.
Saeko Busujima licked her lips:
"Interesting, there are more types of enemies now."
Zhou Ye didn't say anything more and signaled the mechanical soldiers to continue advancing.
"Clean up the sixth floor, target room 607."
The mechanical soldier stepped over the corpse of the zombie monkey and onto the sixth-floor corridor.
The scene here is similar to that downstairs, or even more appalling.
Several bodies dressed in white coats, resembling medical personnel, lay in pools of blood, one of them still clutching a first-aid kit tightly in his hand.
Clearly, in the early stages of the disaster, there were attempts to conduct rescue operations, but these failed.
The mechanical soldiers fired finishing shots into the heads of the corpses, fearing they might turn into zombies and stand up.
Zhou Ye and his group headed straight for room 607, which was located deep in the corridor.
The scattered zombies encountered along the way were efficiently eliminated by the mechanical soldiers.
Soon, they arrived at the door of room 607.
The door was tightly closed, with no obvious signs of damage, but some fabric and wooden strips could be vaguely seen through the cracks, suggesting it had been blocked from the inside.
Zhou Ye signaled the mechanical soldiers to be on alert, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong."
"Dong dong dong."
