Chapter 441: It's just the beginning

(The first alliance leader in his writing career, hehe.) )

Night battles are very bad for the survivors' side. Not only will the soldier's vision be obstructed, but combat fatigue will be accelerated. Although there is such a thing as a night vision device, it is impossible to do one for more than 2,000 soldiers, so the strategy adopted by Wang Zhaowu is still physical lighting.

Every once in a while, the mortar fires several flares into the sky, lighting up the battlefield with a bright red glow. Although it does not make the battlefield as bright as daylight, it is enough to provide a view for soldiers who aim and shoot.

On the zombie side, on the other hand, the night has brought them a lot of advantages.

Completely free from the shackles of the sun, the zombies are as fierce as the drug. Not only is the speed of ordinary zombies much faster than during the day, but the arm strength of the throwers mixed in the corpse group has also increased a lot, and everyone has made full efforts to "throw their sons" into the base. The explosion of the baby zombies really caused a lot of trouble to the soldiers on the wall, and one after another stretchers were carried down, making everyone's hearts depressed with a thick haze.

The pouring of gasoline every six hours was the only respite for the soldiers entrenched at the wall. Only the sea of fire in the sky could make the zombies instinctively awe and stop attacking the settlement.

However, when the fire cleared, the tidal wave of the offensive continued.

As the commander of the Second Corps, Wang Zhaowu didn't close his eyes much all night, only lying on the sofa and taking a nap when he dumped gasoline twice and burned his corpse.

Jiang Chen took Sun Jiao back to the villa at 12 o'clock. Although Sun Jiao really wanted to do what she could to protect this base, Jiang Chen would not allow her to face the battle when she was tired

But speaking of Sun Jiao. Originally, Jiang Chen didn't care how much impact one person could have on the battle situation, but it wasn't until later that he realized that her contribution was indeed not small. That's frighteningly accurate. Before many of the throwers could throw out the hatchlings in their hands, she shot them off with a sniper rifle and knocked off their heads.

6 hours down. More than 200 people died under her gun! While boosting morale, the pressure on the eastern wall, where the zombies were attacking most ferociously, was also relieved a lot. (The east wall faces the city center)

After all, for now. The greatest threat to the soldiers on the wall is the throwers.

The next morning, the zombie offensive stopped slightly.

Even in the xenotide tide, the density of zombie activity is not absolutely uniform. Often when a wave of corpses ends, there will be a longer or shorter vacuum period. Until new zombies roam the area, the base is safe.

Standing on the fence, the scene outside is really spectacular.

The walls were burned black, and the carbon slag and ashes on the ground looked black and white, exuding a disgusting smell of burning. Gasoline burned seven or eight meters of open space outside the wall. And beyond this is still a sea of corpses and bones.

The remains of the zombies began to emit a foul smell, and the tissue, which had been kept incorruptible by X1 bacteria, began to decay. Mosquitoes and flies surrounded the rotting pile of dead people, and the flies the size of the basin and the thigh-length mosquitoes could not help but make people's scalps tingle.

Occasionally, two or three zombies wandered towards the wall with dull eyes, and were also shot sporadically and fell into the pile of corpses.

"Is this the end?" Standing on the wall, Jiang Chen asked Sun Jiao beside him.

"It's just getting started. With the SK10 Sirius hanging on her chest, Sun Jiao sighed and said.

Is it just the beginning? Jiang Chen stared at the mosquitoes and flies that were accumulating not far away.

In general, the density of xenogeneic activity is higher. The lower the zombie density, the more inversely proportional the density of the two parts usually becomes. Zombie density is now decayed......

This is not a good sign.

"How long will it take for this xenomorph tide to end?" Jiang Chen asked helplessly.

"When Wanghai City restores its ecological balance. Sun Jiao shrugged her shoulders and teased.

Any living being, including zombies, has a sense of living space, and when the number exceeds a certain threshold, the city center can no longer accommodate them. They will then expand outward, expanding the scope of the "city center".

Just waiting can't wait for the xenomorph tide to end, only kill all these migrating zombies and xenomorphs. to end this war.

If you can't, you'll have to give up your territory. Migrate to distant lands.

In a wasteland where all this has become deformed, only natural selection never deforms.

The zombies not far away approached. Sun Jiao took off the laser rifle on her chest, pulled open the folding butt on her shoulder socket, aimed at the zombies, and pulled the trigger with half-squinted eyes.

The blue beam of light the thickness of the needle flickered, and the zombie's forehead was instantly burned into a fist-sized notch. The dark content flowed out, and it continued to walk two steps before falling to its knees silently.

A few more beams of light flickered, and several zombies fell to the ground silently.

There is no "chirping" shooting sound effect in science fiction films, and laser rifles in reality are silent killers. Although this high-tech weapon is far less popular in the wasteland than the durable and practical gunpowder rifle due to problems such as troublesome maintenance, expensive parts, hard range, and weak EMP resistance, Sun Jiao seems to have a soft spot for it.

The trajectory is straight, no recoil, and the bursts are high at close range.

"It's really sci-fi stuff. Looking at the weapon in Sun Jiao's hand, Jiang Chen said enviously.

He'd been trying to get two of these weapons as a collector's item, but the weapons shops in the Sixth Block only sold C-type batteries that could be used on laser rifles, and very few sold the laser rifles themselves. Occasionally, he didn't see it when he passed by Sixth Block, and he forgot about it.

It is said that the place where this laser rifle is mass-loaded is mainly in the space battlefield. After all, in a gravity-free environment, who would dare to shoot indiscriminately with a conventional rifle? No one will shoot at the same time, but they are afraid that they will fly away.

"Is this all science fiction?" Sun Jiao glanced at Jiang Chen and retracted the rifle to his chest, "Prepare to go down, it won't be safe on the fence later." ”

"Mutant flies and mutant mosquitoes?"

Squinting his eyes at the increasingly dense black mass in the distance, Jiang Chen turned around and walked down the wall with Sun Jiao.

Due to the appearance of flying xenomorphs, Lu Huasheng urgently evacuated the survivors in the base and transferred them to a temporary shelter in the sewers.

Although Jiang Chen didn't want to brag about his foresight, this time the temporary shelter he ordered to be set up in the sewers did come in handy. These flying creatures easily get past the walls of the base, which is undoubtedly a disaster for the average survivor inside the base.

At this point, you just need to take refuge in the sewers.

After more than half a year of continuous reinforcement, this traffic artery, which connects the sixth block with the base of fish bones, has been reinforced like an iron bucket. As long as you hold the entrances at both ends, no xenomorphs will be able to break into here.

When Jiang Chen and Sun Jiao went to the community center, there were basically no people to see along the way.

After coming to the command room, the two met the only living person who remained in the community center - Han Junhua.

I saw her arms crossed and staring indifferently at the holographic topographic map on the desktop.

The red and blue dots on the map are intertwined, marking your own and enemy forces. Judging from the distribution of troops alone, the First Corps has the upper hand, but the expression on her face at this moment is not much relaxed.

"What's the situation on the Western Front?" Jiang Chen immediately asked after seeing her.

"Something is not good. ”

It was still the same expression, but from her voice, Jiang Chen faintly heard a trace of solemnity. (To be continued.) )
