228. The numbers game
What gave the special forces officers great confidence was that it seemed that the members of the squad who dared to go deep into the quarantine area really had some ability. Before setting off, the officer had been instructed by his superiors to prioritize everyone in the squad. This priority represents the order in which he should assist these people in case of danger, in what order he should protect them, and in what order he should abandon them if he cannot do so. The officer was pleased that he was not the last of these people, but the second-to-last, only a little higher than the old local officer. Enough is enough. Enough for officers who consistently fall last on any priority list. Although, almost immediately, he realized that he didn't seem to have much chance to save anyone, and what was more hopeful was for these people to save him.
The two reserve knights held a sword in one hand and a gun in the other. The brilliant light in front of them made the officer and the Los Angeles officer speechless for a long time, originally they thought that the two guys were having a nervous disorder with the broad Shiyu Sword on their backs. What surprised them even more was that their own bodies also "grew" green sè full body armor. It looked so solid and reliable, but it was so light that it didn't exist.
"Headstart?" "Everyone has seen Resident Evil. But God knows if the common sense you got in that movie is valid. Although the scene in front of me is very similar to the movie, they are two completely different things.
"It should work. Emile muttered, she originally wanted to rush up and hit her after transforming, but she was pressed behind by Zuo Lin. Zuo Lin stood beside her, watching her while attacking the zombies, strictly forbidding her to make any dangerous movements. They haven't run out of mana yet. Being able to avoid direct contact with nature is best. If you get a little scratched in the fight, the price you pay is even greater. Zuo Lin is the only one here who has the ability to drive out this virus.
Even Insula didn't rush in to fight, but pulled the metal fence that had been laid out outside the supply station to his side, unscrewed off the railings and threw them as small javelins, nailing the zombies to the ground. Even if it's not up to the right and aerodynamics, it's occasionally a bit out of the charts, but Insula sticks to this rough attack. Instead, after pulling out the railing, he threw the empty frame out with a bang, which was more powerful and less picky.
The hero is the "Magnetic King" of the Federation of Adepts. When he discovered that Insula was not on the right track, he took over the control of the metal rods. Metal rods turned into kinetic cannonballs, rolling sideways and spinning, slicing off the heads of zombies.
Zuo Lin, who had blessed everyone just now, grabbed the somewhat dazed virologist and shouted, "This is your statistics? Look at the back." 1,700 people?"
The virologists were embarrassed and said, "It's none of my business?"
The officer hurriedly approached and explained, "This is what the command meant...... It is also the meaning of the place zhèng fǔ, which is calculated according to the number of people who are cremated after confirming their identity. ”
"For what? Half of the people in the city are dead, what more place do you need here?" Zuo Lin was a little angry. He sprinkled a handful of seeds. Immediately, a patch of chariot chrysanthemums and thorns grew around them, forming a solid bunker about a meter high, allowing them to fend off the attacks of zombies who didn't know when they were heads.
“…… Let me fly up and see?" said Emile. She was also wearing a bodysuit made of psychic affinity fabric underneath her outer garment, not to mention, she wasn't ready to undergo a complete transformation.
"Let's see, if there are too many of them, we will withdraw and let the helicopter gunships deal with it. Zuo Lin tightened Emile's shoulders and instructed.
The snow-white swan wings are transformed from two butterfly bones. Emile rose into the air like an angel. Innocence itself has a sacred connotation, and the scene at that moment, if it weren't for the fact that Emile was a druid, and not an angelic contractor who was now dead in the Holy See, the two reserve knights would have wanted to worship.
"It's a lot...... There were probably a few thousand," and they took off into the air and circled slightly. Emile returned, and the god was a little panicked and unbearable. These people, who may have had a happy end of life two days ago, or who had an unhappy but still worth trying to survive, have become the living dead in these 48 hours, and have become the lowest creatures - zombies. It is not their compassion or mediocre thoughts and mediocre thoughts that govern the actions of this individual body, but the virus that lives in the brain. It is this virus that causes them to act according to the most primitive human instincts: to seek prey, to destroy prey, to eat ......
Isn't this hell the only way to be in the hell of imagination and nothingness?
Without the shackles of Zuo Lin, the angry Emile let out a loud groan, and an arc of green light shuffled out of her body, like a boomerang, along the direction of the street, flying past the densest group of zombies, and knocking down a piece. Many of the corpses' heads were cut off in this way, and many zombies were cut off from their waists, chests, and knees, and although they were still struggling to pounce on the 10 people who were waiting for them with extremely unnatural movements, they should no longer constitute a domain threat.
"The helicopter is coming. Where are we going?" watched the zombies appear on all sides of the street, and even many zombies jumped from the roof of the house next door to the roof of the building that was temporarily used as a supply distribution station, and then slowly walked from behind what they thought was safe, and the jǐng official's mind was panicked.
"No need to withdraw!" Zuo Lin shouted, "Notify the helicopter and start attacking." ”
A seed pierced through the tarmac, arched through the dirt and pavement fragments, tipped branches, sprouted, and quickly turned into a giant banyan tree, opening its canopy and drooping its branches, nailing some zombies that had come too close to the ground. Emile was like a homing bird, perched on a branch and hid in the canopy.
"Let them fight here, where there are more zombies, and leave us alone. Opening the defensive circle of the Vajra Banyan Tree, Zuo Lin shouted angrily. "Yes!" replied the officer unconsciously, not even thinking much about whether the wood could deal with the powerful rockets and cannons.
Exactly 10 minutes...... A squadron of helicopter gunships covered the entire area with a continuous stream of shè fire, and they didn't even think about whether the surrounding buildings would be useful in the future.
For those zombies, the pain of not being able to feel death again is their happiness, and even if the violent continuous blasts and bombardment waves fail to twist these zombies into pieces, the igniting flames will burn them to the most basic carbon. Naturally, the burning also spread to the huge Vajra banyan tree, and the entire crown of the tree was also burning. Even if this burning lasts for such a short time. The carbonized branches rustled and peeled off, turning into warm embers that dissipated into the air. New shoots are drawn and grow, and new leaves open one by one......
For these people hiding under the canopy, those minutes were so long. They could feel it by the sound, by the trembling of the branches above their heads and around them, that there was such a violent baptism of fire and gunpowder outside, but beyond that, perhaps with the glow of the explosion reflected on everyone's face through the gaps in the dense layers of foliage, the battle outside seemed to have nothing to do with them. They are like being wrapped in a green cocoon, a seemingly weak outer layer that isolates them from danger.
After a few moments, the buzzing in everyone's ears disappeared, and the impression created by the attack of the gunship squadron seemed to be only the faint aftertaste of the soft olfactory cells in the nostrils that stimulated the tender olfactory cells and made the wings of the nose open comfortably. The surroundings fell silent, making the hunting sound of the flames burning so abruptly.
"Zuo Lin...... All right. Emile came out of the canopy, circled around, and shouted.
The canopy of the tree shrunk and shrunk before disappearing in a moment, and there seemed to be no evidence that the banyan tree ever existed, except for the strangely shaped hole in the ground. It was only at this moment that the surrounding ruins were revealed.
"It's fine. Emile landed in front of Zuo Lin and hugged Zuo Lin worriedly, two huge wings holding the two in the middle. The Vajra Banyan does not cost much of Nature, but that is only if it is used to deal with physical attacks that have relatively limited damage to the Vajra Banyan Tree. If Zuo Lin only had one person under the protection of the Vajra Banyan Tree, and only let the Vajra Banyan Tree open up to just enough size to protect himself, it would be more economical. But he used the Vajra Banyan Tree to protect 10 people, and when the explosion and flames continued to destroy the outer layer of the Vajra Banyan Tree, he had to continue to promote the growth of the Vajra Banyan Tree, to go up, to go up.
Zuo Lin was a little tired. It was not easy for him to maintain the sound stage for a few minutes with such a range of Vajra Banyan Trees. It was no longer about his imagination that made him a good warrior to make even the simplest spells appear to be astonishingly powerful and effective, but rather a simple contest of the power of nature. Zolin was powerful, but he was only 20 years old, and he didn't have the experience of dwelling in the Spirit Gathering Circle and being washed by pure energy like Sophocles, so he was certainly tired.
The zombies were completely wiped out, and they scattered and made rounds to confirm this.
"...... of the 9th District" saw this, and the officer said in embarrassment. He knew that it would be an ideal combat method for them to attract zombies and then have helicopters annihilate them, but could Zolin still stand it?
"Let's go!" Zuo Lin said resolutely.
