74.Chapter 74: Stalemate
CHAPTER XXXIV
The situation is at a stalemate in this region, but it is sure to turn increasingly unfavorable to the human side as time goes on. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info There are at least forty residential buildings and two shelters that have not yet been infected by the virus, and once these residential buildings and shelters are infected by living corpses, the number of living corpses in this area will immediately explode, not to mention the continuous influx of living corpses in the opening of the outer city wall. When the balance of living corpses reaches a certain number, it will be broken, and humans will no longer be able to stop the spread of living corpses.
This situation is no longer something that Mobei and their small half-crippled independent company can change, what Mobei can do is to use all the resources available to hold this building as much as possible, and wait for the actions of the upper echelons of the military to find an opportunity to break out from here. It had become a forward position deep into the territory controlled by the living corpses, and it was impossible for the independent company to hold it without reinforcements and supplies.
The people hiding in the residential buildings were not very cooperative with the actions of the independent company, and most of them chose to hide in the houses with the security doors locked. The people living in the outer city almost have almost no military dependents, and they are all survivors who can afford to hand over a certain amount of material to the Los Angeles government every once in a while. The operation of Los Angeles is a very complex system, on the one hand, Los Angeles will distribute a certain amount of supplies to each survivor every day, and on the other hand, those who can afford to hand over a certain amount of materials to the Los Angeles government on a regular basis are eligible to live in residential buildings in the community.
Survivors who do not have the ability to hand over a certain amount of resources on a regular basis have lived in shantytowns and are now shelters, and those who are able to live in neighborhoods outside the city, and this differential treatment is also a mode of survival in Los Angeles itself. It is impossible for Los Angeles to treat everyone fairly, and those who have the ability to contribute to the survival of Los Angeles will get good living conditions and good security, and those who are not able to naturally only consider basic survival are not qualified to make claims.
Most of the people in the outer city who can afford to hand in a certain amount of supplies on a regular basis are people who have carried a large amount of supplies at the beginning of their entry into Los Angeles, after all, many people have carried a large amount of supplies at the beginning of their flight, and at that time, the survivors will not be taken away from half of the materials when they enter Los Angeles. This situation also means that the soldiers of the independent company will not be short of food for a short time, and most of the survivors in the residential buildings have some supplies. Mobei borrowed a batch of food from these survivors in a more 'friendly' manner.
"Now it's raining heavily, you can drink it directly with water, and the water that hasn't landed before it hits the ground won't contain the virus, but the food will only last for three days at most. After three days, it is estimated that there will not be much to get even if you try to get it, and the people in this building will have to live themselves!" Mo Bei sat down at the entrance of the building, sorted out his guns, and said to Wang Jie. Fortunately, the soldiers of the independent company before the accident on the outer city wall took a lot of ammunition in the fortifications of the reserve, and Mo Bei himself had more than a dozen magazines, an assault rifle, a shotgun and a few grenades. The other soldiers will only have more ammunition in their hands than Mo Bei, not less than Mo Bei.
"Stick to it day by day, I don't know how to deal with this situation at the moment, I think it may be difficult to recover the situation. If the number of living corpses keeps increasing, the upper authorities may abandon the city wall defense area before the living corpses spread to the entire outer city, and try to withdraw the soldiers into the inner city and reorganize the defense in the inner city! At that time, we will be completely abandoned here, and no one can escape, we can only wait for death!" Wang Jie's tone was a little desperate, he was a graduate of the regular military academy, and from the overall situation, he knew the situation in Los Angeles better than Mo Bei.
"Give up the outer city and the city wall defense area, how long can the inner city hold out, if it is not for the complete loss of the outer city, it is impossible to easily consider the outer city, they will always have a way, what we have to do is to hold on until the opportunity to break through appears!" Mo Bei was not as desperate as Wang Jie, he was desperate once and would not easily despair for the second time.
Time passed little by little, and two of the residential buildings that could be seen around their building in Mobei had been broken by living corpses. During this period, another group of corpses attempted to attack the Mobei building, and this small group of corpses was quickly wiped out at the entrance of the building by well-prepared soldiers.
The small section of the outer city that was broken through by the living corpses barely controlled the influx of the living corpses with the cooperation of the artillery regiment, the helicopter brigade and the soldiers on both sides. Ten mountains of corpses formed at this interval of about 300 meters, and by nightfall, six of the ten corpse mountains had been knocked down, but the last four could not be defeated.
After nightfall, the artillery regiment needs to cool the gun chambers, the helicopter brigade is not as capable of night flight as it is during the day, and the helicopter pilots also need to rest. The city wall command had no choice but to order a large number of steel plates to be transported to the opening to block both sides, as long as it survived the night, it might be possible to block the opening after dawn in a high-intensity operation.
There weren't too many living corpses in the four corpse mountains that could cross the city wall alive under the constant blows of the troops on both sides, and it was not unacceptable to wait all night at such a speed. But when night falls, the artillery stops bombing the helicopters and returns to the core city, and the living corpses will definitely attack this pass with all their might, piling up more corpses, and whether they can defend this pass tonight is crucial. Humans understand this, and the things behind the living corpses probably know this as well. What's more, there are already things that have followed the corpses into Los Angeles, and it is impossible for those things to be without the slightest plan tonight.
When night fell, Mo Bei withdrew a squad of soldiers who stayed on the top floor to guard, and the iron door on the roof from the roof was locked. After finding some wardrobes and tables and other things behind the iron gate, Mo Bei concentrated the remaining sixty or so soldiers of the independent company on the second, third, and fourth floors.
Guarding the second floor should always pay attention to the situation of the corridor on the first floor, in case something happens, it is easy to support the third and fourth floors, and shooting at the entrance of the corridor from the third and fourth floors is not only safe but also highly accurate. The second, third and fourth floors of this residential building have been requisitioned by Mobei for many rooms, and the security doors outside the rooms are open, whether there is a problem in the corridor or in the room, the soldiers can deal with it immediately.
Mo Bei and Wang Jie arranged everything, and the two sat silently on the stairs on the second floor to rest. It's raining all the time, and I'm afraid that this amount of rain will flood many places. The huge lighthouse in Los Angeles has been lit since five o'clock in the afternoon, and the clouds cover the sun, and no one knows whether those ghosts will appear in advance in such weather, and Los Angeles cannot withstand the attack of ghosts in this situation.
Mo Bei and Wang Jie were resting quietly until a rustling sound came from outside.
