Chapter 117: The Long Night (Part 7)
(a)
At six o'clock, the east gate of the people
The casualties of the militia group were not as serious as Huiyin imagined, which was also a blessing in misfortune. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The regimental commander and his vanguard team faced the onslaught of the herd, and all of them were killed. After that, all the remaining members of the militia regiment, led by the deputy commander, retreated to the building and sent messengers to the west gate for help.
Due to the favorable terrain, the militia was unable to completely stop the corpses, but they also contained the casualties to an acceptable level. Considering the huge disparity in the number of enemies and friends, even if the entire militia group were sacrificed, it would never be possible to achieve victory, which can be regarded as the wisest decision of all possible decisions.
You must know that the vast majority of the members of this militia group are young and middle-aged men. In peacetime, these people were farmers and manual laborers of all kinds, in other words, the main labor force of the village, and each of them could feed a large family. If they all died, then even if all the people in the northern shelter survived, there would be no point, and the people would inevitably decay.
"The beast zombie with the head is already heading north, we can't stop it, we can only drag the slow human zombie here, that's all we can do......"
In the dimly lit temporary headquarters, the short and swarthy deputy regimental commander reported his work to Huiyin.
"Well," Huiyin nodded, "you've done a great job. β
The candle flame flickered, and the fortitude engraved on her face was reflected between light and dark.
"Next, please evacuate all of you from the east gate, and after the wounded are settled, the rest of the people will all go to support the west gate defense line, the sooner the better. β
"Lord Shang Bai Ze, are you serious?" the deputy head of the regiment looked at her with a shocked expression and said, "If even we are withdrawn, there will really be no one left in the East Gate!"
"Am I not a living person when you say this?" Huiyin pointed to herself.
"Do you mean, you're alone against the zombies out there?
"Messing around?" Huiyin smiled...... "You know, I know a little girl who likes to jump up and fight with people at every turn...... No, it's not a little girl anymore, she's actually older than me. Whenever I stopped her and advised her not to mess around, she always said this: "
"'No way, the enemy is strong and I am weak, if you don't fight hard, how can you win!'"
"Then I would ask her, 'Is it important to win or lose, can't you take a step back?'" She always replied to me, 'No, if I retreat here, I will choose to escape from the same situation in the future, and the principles and beliefs that I have always held on to until now will no longer exist, and I will not be me'. β
"For the first time now, I think what she said makes sense. So if you ask me why I'm messing around like this, I can only tell you: because I'm Shangbai Ze Huiyin, I want to protect the inside of the people, and at the same time, I want to protect all of you. β
Dropping such a sentence, Kamibai Zehuiyin turned around and left the hut. Only the stunned deputy commander and his militiamen were left in the room.
After a moment of silence, I heard the deputy head of the group shout:
"Why are you still stunned? You have all heard Lord Bai Ze's order, hurry up and inform all the teams to retreat!"
"Okay, okay!"
(b)
At seven o'clock, in the north of the people, the barnyard family compound.
"Hot, Shining, Finger!"
Fujiwara's red right hand shone with a blazing red light, and I saw her jump up and slap the huge zombie bear in front of her in the face. With a miserable wail, the bear's entire head burst open like an egg heated in the microwave, and its brains splattered. The large, hairy body collapsed like a broken wall, no longer moving.
"Fire Fist!"
"Flame Kick!"
"Yu Tosu!"
The zombie colleagues of the dead bear were not deterred by the tragic death of their companions, and they all climbed over the hill-like bear corpses and launched a desperate charge towards Mei Hong one after another. The attacking beast zombies range from small and agile foxes to rampaging bulls, making it a Halloween circus extravaganza.
Mei Hong, on the other hand, nimbly dodged the bumps and bites of the beasts, and as she retreated, she fought back with fiery fists or soles, and the fiery breath that came out of her mouth.
Her counter-attack was deadly, and with each shot, the beast would fall with a howl. After repeating this several times, the corpse that fell in front of her had been paved into a straight path.
Correspondingly, however, there was not much room for her to retreat.
Another corpse-stinky beast fell under her fiery fist, and as she was about to take a step back and pull room for the next blow, she stumbled on the wooden steps, barely falling up. She turned back and saw only behind her, the barnyard family's houseβshe had been cornered and had no way out.
"Tsk!"
Mei Hong frowned, smacked her lips, and then slammed a heavy punch into the belly of the oncoming lost wolf. The wolf was ignited by the flames in her fist, howled and flew backwards, knocking over several of her companions and opening a small clearing for Mei Hong.
Even Fujiwara Meihong, until now, has to admit that the situation is somewhat unfavorable for her.
Behind him are houses, surrounded by woods, no matter which one is a little bit of goods, therefore, those big moves that even she can't control well can't be used. Although the fist and kick striking skills are enough to defeat the enemy with one blow, they are powerless to fight against the overwhelming corpse tide. The battle has continued so far, and the number of enemies has far exceeded the range of Meihong's ability.
Fortunately, this time, she was not alone.
"Hey, Bai Ling, are you okay?" Mei Hong raised her head and shouted while struggling to cope with the thickening zombie encirclement, "I'm almost out of control!"
"Give me five more seconds. β
The voice that answered her came from overhead.
On the roof of the barnyard family's mansion, Baili Bailing sat cross-legged, holding a pen and drawing complex and gorgeous totems on the tiles. His painting is almost finished, but before he can put the finishing touch, Mei Hong has to continue to persevere, buying him those few precious seconds.
"Five. β
Bai Ling began the countdown.
"Four. β
Mei Hong grabbed the horns of the zombie cow and lifted it up stiffly. The bison's strong limbs danced wildly in the air, both striking and comical.
"Three. β
She let out a loud roar and slammed the cow out, knocking over a large area of zombies.
"II. β
At this time, a tiger suddenly appeared in the corpse group, and the bloody mouth was wide open, and it pounced. Mei Hong couldn't dodge, and was bitten on the shoulder by it, her bones were broken, and blood was splattered on the spot.
"One. β
Sister Hong, who was clamped by the tiger's mouth, was gritting her teeth and trying her best to get out, when she suddenly felt a softness under her feet and fell down. After a closer look, I saw a blur of flesh and blood at the ankle of my right foot, and I don't know which mouth owed it to bite off.
Sister Hong, whose body has lost its support, is difficult to make even if she has all the strength. The raging zombie tiger flung her neck and tore at her body, the pain and blood loss so intense that she nearly fainted.
Fortunately, Bai Ling's painting has been completed.
"Iron and Stone Army, listen to me!"
With Bai Ling's order, an iron horseman of a golden iron horse galloped out of the ink painting painted on the roof tiles, and fell to the ground of the courtyard.
This heavily armored cavalry force numbered in 100 men, and as soon as it appeared, it crushed the heads of no less than ten beast zombies on the spot, just because they stood in the path of the knights without long eyes.
These hundred iron horsemen are not living creatures, but stone men and stone horses, all the color of earth and gray, wearing iron armor, holding spears in their hands, wearing sabers at their waists, and their faces are angry, as if the terracotta warriors and horses have been resurrected.
"I'm sorry, Fujiwara. β
Bai Ling jumped off the roof lightly, landed beside Mei Hong, bowed his head and said to her:
"It took a while to finish the painting, and it was a drag on you. β
"I ...... Ahem...... I've said it all, just call me sister red!"
Mei Hong coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then kicked the tiger corpse lying on her body away - as early as when the ironstone cavalry summoned by Bai Ling landed, this beast was stabbed through the head and tail by the knight's spear, and died with a whimper.
No, it can't be called a "one-life woo", after all, it's not a living thing in the first place!
"I'm sorry, Miss Meihong!" Bai Ling lowered his head and apologized again, "Your injuries ......"
Bai Ling wanted to ask her, "Is the injury okay?", but his eyes told him: How can this be okay!
Mei Hong's shoulders were almost completely torn apart, and a large rift valley stretched from her shoulders to her chest, which was terrifying to look at. Her blood stained a large field of grass, and it was estimated that all the blood that could flow in her body had been drained from the excessively large wound, and there was not a drop left.
Although her ankle was broken and she was fatally injured, Mei Hong got up from the ground as if she was nothing, straightened her clothes, and then said with a smile:
"It's a little injury, it's okay, it's okay! It's nothing, don't worry!"
"Yes...... Really?"
Bai Ling looked at her miserable white, but with a happy face, half-convinced.
"You have more important things to do right now than my injuries, don't you?"
Mei Hong said, turning her head to look at the beast zombies who were confronting the stone man cavalry. These undead people are flying and domineering in front of the living on weekdays, and when they come to the stone people who are more "dead" than them, they actually make a mistake, and they only dare to raise their eyes from a distance of several meters, but they don't dare to step forward, and they can't help but want to laugh when they see Meihong.
"Ah, yes!"
Bai Ling turned around and shouted to the loyal warriors he had drawn with his own hands:
"All of them have an order, kill all the immortals, and leave no armor behind!"
The stone men were speechless, and a hundred spears were lowered in unison, and the wind was deafening, and that was their answer. Mei Hong looked at this cold and well-trained army, and felt her heart tremble.
If her heartbeat in the face of the hideous zombie was because of fear, then her feelings at this time were probably the pure shock that arose when she faced the terrifying power.
In the next second, the hundred iron horsemen launched an assault at the same time, and the tips of the spears were connected in a line, neatly aligned as one, and its force was enough to collapse the mountain, and its momentum made the earth tremble.
