93 Dawn of the Last Days (19)
The appearance of flying zombies has once again changed the pattern of the end times, so that human beings, who have just barely gained a foothold in the harsh ecological environment, have to cheer up and think about ways to survive.
The original high walls and iron nets were useless in front of them, and the overlord of the sky, the plane, which had earned a respite for mankind, also lost its absolute superiority. Mid-tier zombies are not as intelligent as high-tier zombies, but from an evolutionary point of view, they have shown signs of metamorphosis in some areas, such as their keen perception of danger, such as limb coordination and movement speed, and have made great strides.
At the same time, the will to survive engraved into the soul of living creatures makes their instincts self-taught, and they have mastered the ability to learn and imitate. Just like the middle-level zombie that was killed by Yan Xilan and Qi Mingyuan, the strongest will be the leader of the clan by default, and after suffering the loss of human wisdom in the early stage, these higher-level zombies who are superior to the clan will adjust their command according to what they see and hear. Therefore, when the plane brings convenience and safety to human beings, a new "class" was born in the zombie group - flying zombies with mid-level strength, they are not only strong individually, but also can carry their companions into the sky to maximize the strength of their attacks.
Right now, it's the first appearance of this new class.
Yan Xilan pulled Qi Mingyuan over and said, "Let the flying team be in place, all of them are on alert, and they are ready to fight at any time." β
The man turned and opened the warehouse door and walked out, "Go to the command room, now explain the situation." β
Yan Xilan hurriedly stepped forward and walked side by side with him: "The zombie troops are converging towards the base, fifteen minutes...... No, after fourteen minutes, there will be thousands of preemptive zombies knocking on the level, including a new type of advanced zombie with flying abilities. β
"Flying?" Qi Mingyuan's steps paused, and on the periphery of the warehouse, the soldiers were patrolling in a dense circle, and when they saw people coming out, the leading captain stood up and saluted, and reported to the man in a loud voice: "Report to the chief, all the perpetrators in the southern district have been arrested!" β
Qi Mingyuan nodded, and turned to look at the young man: "Go on." β
Yan Xilan said quickly: "That's right, order the flying team to annihilate the flying zombies as the first task, once we let them break into the base, we will fall into a situation where we will be exposed to the enemy." β
As soon as the words fell, the alarm suddenly sounded, and the sound wave instantly pierced the night sky and spread throughout the base.
Qi Mingyuan waved his hand and began to give orders: "The members of the original Black Panther Commando Team each led a team to the town around the base to guard the defensive line, Cheng Hao, you are responsible for this matter." β
As he spoke, he looked at the patrol captain: "Send someone to inform the garrison of the southern district, let him take care of the people for me, be sure not to make any mistakes, and at the same time allocate manpower to support this operation, and the rest of the people will go with Cheng Hao." β
After getting the same voice, the man turned his head and asked Dong Xuanyu, "Did you hear Xie Jin's words?" β
Dong Xuanyu, who was accompanying him, nodded hurriedly, and when the man saw this, he continued: "Assemble the flight team immediately and stand by in place." After finishing speaking, without saying a word, he took Yan Xilan's hand and ran away.
Rushing all the way to the command room, Qi Mingyuan just pushed open the door and sat in front of several display screens, Wei Kai, who monitored every move in the base, got up and reported: "Captain, I have conveyed your instructions through the wireless terminal, and I have just received feedback, the team responsible for the southern, northern, and eastern regions has arrived at the designated place, and the western area will take two minutes due to the distance." The militia is escorting ordinary people to bomb shelters for refuge and is expected to complete the mission in 10 minutes. β
The man raised his eyebrows, and Yan Xilan took the initiative to explain: "I informed him, and I used my mental power to get in touch with him on the road just now." β
Qi Mingyuan suddenly realized: "No wonder you didn't react when I pulled your hand." β
Yan Xilan: ......
The 008 deep hidden merit and fame that actually instilled Wei Kai's mind.
Qi Mingyuan strode to the display screen, and at this moment, the picture on the screen had switched to a satellite bird's-eye view of the periphery of the base, and the dense zombies were taking advantage of the dark sky to quickly cross the jungle.
After dozens of days of evolutionary journey, ordinary zombies seem to have mastered the skill of running. And nine minutes have passed since 008's warning, which means that the conceivable protracted war is coming.
Qi Mingyuan picked up the communicator on the table, locked his eyes on the screen, and said in a low and powerful tone: "Attention to the flying team, there are flying zombies two thousand meters away, located in the direction of one, four, six, and nine o'clock, and they will set off immediately, and they will be annihilated without mistake." β
"Cheng Hao, increase the number of people to go to the east and south two districts, and give you three minutes to do fortifications, don't think about saving, mines and ammunition can be collected afterwards, understand?!"
"Qianzi, let your militia group speed up its movements, leave part of the guard at the entrance of the cave, and the rest of the people immediately rush to the districts to cooperate with Cheng Hao."
"After suppressing the firepower in the early stage, the mixed men and horses were divided into two groups and took turns to fight, ready to fight a protracted battle."
A series of commands never stopped coming out of the man's mouth, Qi Mingyuan pondered for a moment, and immediately asked into the communicator, "Where is Gu Ziyu?" β
Gu Ziyu's panting voice immediately came from the other end of the line: "On the way to the command room, I just took the experimenter to the air-raid shelter for refuge, is Ah Jin there with you?" β
Yan Xilan stepped forward, approached the communicator and said, "Yes, I'm here." β
Gu Ziyu's voice instantly became excited: "Ah Jin, are you okay?" I'll be there soon! β
"Go back." Qi Mingyuan suddenly interjected: "You go back to the air-raid shelter to take Qian Zi's place, and no one will press him when he leaves." β
"No ......" Gu Ziyu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yan Xilan. The latter stated in a straight but unobtrusive tone: "You have the strength to replace Qian Zi as their reassurance." Ziyu, the rear will be handed over to you. β
There was a brief silence in the communicator, and then there was a hello.
Qi Mingyuan switched the channel, "Is the flying team in place?" β
"Report sir, they're all in place now!"
"Good." Qi Mingyuan gave an order: "Attack!" This is the beginning of the war.
The first to be entangled in one place is the most mobile air unit. It wasn't until they actually fought each other that the pilots realized what kind of monster they were facing. After a brief period of surprise and temptation, the experienced flying team quickly organized and cooperated with each other in a team to suppress the zombies hovering in the sky like night owls.
Suddenly, the dark night sky was dyed red by the brilliant sparks after the shells exploded, and the stray bullets crashed into the trees below, and the continuous explosions caused people to be deafened, and the cracked mountains made a dull rumbling sound, and began to collapse to varying degrees.
The sparks were enough to set the prairie on fire, and the sparks fell on the vegetation, as if they had finally received nourishment, suddenly growing in size and gradually connecting into patches. The billowing smoke and dust soared into the sky, and the crackling sound of the flames and the falling trees were intertwined with the sound of artillery fire and the screams of zombies.
Just as a swarm of sparrows can be a catastrophic obstacle to a shipping lane, fighters have an absolute advantage in firepower, and the loose and irregular flying zombies are still tricky, and when the ammunition is always exhausted, the situation is so urgent that it is impossible to give them the opportunity to waste extravagance.
As the monsters were blasted to slag one by one, the flying team also suffered casualties.
Flying zombies are not only small in target and extremely fast, but also have innate power, they will throw their companions onto the fighter plane the moment they are hit, so that they can continue to complete the cause of shooting down the plane; will also go into battle in person and stage a thrilling scene of tearing the wings with his bare hands.
Dong Xuanyu yelled: "Pay attention to the distance, don't let them get close to the fuselage!" β
The team members answered in unison over the intercom: "Yes!" β
At the same time, on land.
The group of ordinary zombies who had been running for a long time finally arrived at the periphery of the base under the leadership of the advanced zombies who had just stepped into the middle-level doorway. But before they could stand firmly, the mines under their feet sent them up to the western sky, and the severed limbs and arms smashed into the zombie group behind them with scattered shrapnel. The shrapnel that shot at them cut through the skin of their limbs in an instant, nailed into the hearts of their heads, and everywhere in their bodies, many zombies fell in response, rolling and crawling on the ground, and were directly trampled on by their companions behind.
"Bang! Bang bang! β
For a while, the sound of mines being triggered by explosions was endless, and the mutilated corpses filled the trenches, and there was still a steady stream of zombies pouring up from behind, until the mines were exhausted, and finally they were able to step on the corpses all over the field, and under the dense ammunition and ability pinching, the death of the previous one after another was exchanged for the slow advance of the battle line.
This is by no means a thing to be optimistic about for the base side, on the contrary, everyone is tense and their hearts are extremely heavy. There are just too many zombies.
As time goes by, more and more zombies gather here to become an effective new force, and they will always be only a few people fighting against them. But no one dared to relax in the slightest, because everyone understood that once this line of defense was breached, what awaited them would be an irreversible disadvantage.
The battle situation has fallen into anxiety on the whole front, and if it were not for Qi Mingyuan's unchaotic command and dispatch and the strong will of all the soldiers, the situation may have been irreparable.
So, in such a critical situation, what is Yan Xilan doing?
He is working with 008 to find the whereabouts of the clan leader. The only confrontation experience he had told him that as long as he killed the strongest in the zombie group, this improvised primitive social structure would face disintegration, and the crisis could be resolved.
008 wails: "The object this time is too cunning to be found. β
"Check again." Yan Xilan frowned, thinking carefully about which joint they had missed. "Make a list of all the anomalies, no matter what they are."
008 agreed, and after a moment, hesitated, "Host, I just found one, I don't know if it counts...... Its energy reaction form is a little different from that of other zombies, but the crystal nucleus value is exactly the same, indicating that its strength is the same as that of ordinary advanced zombies, unlike the leader whose overall strength can be higher than that of the group. β
Yan Xilan said: "Location, image." β
"Not far away, at the foot of the mountains to the northwest...... Hey? β
008 was dumbfounded as he looked at the image that came up: "This is not this?!" β
Yan Xilan sank his face, exhaled slowly, and continued: "The dog that Qi Mingyuan killed in the original world. β
Of course, this dog is not an ordinary dog, but a mutated zombie dog that leads a group and has mid-level strength. In order to buy time for his teammates to get out, the original Qi Mingyuan took the initiative to break off, crossed the ranks and picked it up, and finally died in its mouth.
Yan Xilan quickly discovered the problem: in the original world, the encounter between the two was because of the encounter, and now due to his intervention, Qi Mingyuan has already succeeded in avoiding the crisis of the zombie tide, but looking at the current situation, it is obvious that if the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain......
Yan Xilan's face became more and more ugly, and he thought of a possibility.
The realm consciousness wanted Qi Mingyuan to die.
Even this sudden zombie tide is to wear out the vitality of men to a greater extent.
There is no doubt that the zombie dogs are the leaders of this group.
According to the force gap in the original world, in the case of Qi Mingyuan's promotion to a middle-level evolutionary, this zombie dog must have obtained at least one level of strength higher than him. Yan Xilan would not be naΓ―ve enough to think that the Boundary Mind Consciousness would go wrong in such an obvious place. The so-called crystal nucleus value is no different from others, but it is just a trick to deceive people.
In the last days, compared to human zombies, mutated animals and plants are truly terrifying existences, and usually when dealing with them, humans are often required to have a higher level of strength. This also means that if you want to defeat the zombie dog in front of you, you must have a mid-level and high-level realm. The winning rate of the same level is slim, let alone two levels apart.
"Xie Jin, have you found someone?"
Qi Mingyuan's question brought Yan Xilan's thoughts back, and the young man lowered his eyes, "Found it." "Tap the keyboard with your long finger to adjust and zoom in on the image of the coordinate area given by 008.
Wei Kai was taken aback: "It's so big!" What is this, wolf? Dog? β
Yan Xilan briefly explained the zombie dog, and then looked at Qi Mingyuan without speaking. The latter put his hands in his pockets and smiled: "I'll go fix it." With that, he turned around and left.
As a result, before he could take two steps out, he was dragged by someone. Qi Mingyuan turned around and saw the young man saying to him very seriously: "I'll go with you." β
Qi Mingyuan raised his eyebrows: "What are you going to do?" β
Yan Xilan said: "As you said, we are partners. β
Qi Mingyuan said: "Since you are my partner, stay here to preside over the overall situation, there are few people here, and only you can do it." Seeing that the young man was silent, he reached out and touched his head.
"Take care of the home for me, and," the man chuckled, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows showing tenderness, "wait for me to come back." β
The young man watched him go until his back disappeared.
After a while, 008 asked cautiously, "Host...... Are you okay? β
Yan Xilan retracted his gaze, turned around and walked to the console, picked up the communicator and said: "Attention everyone, Team Qi has now gone to the zombie lair to exterminate the leader, and from now on, I will take the position of Team Qi and become the temporary commander of this operation." β
The young man's expression was cold, and his eyebrows and eyes were frosty: "To live or to die, from now on, it is up to us to decide!" 166 Reading Network
