108.Chapter 108: The Zombie Siege
Zombies' limbs become rigid after death, and even if they evolve into Level 2 zombies, although they become more agile than before, they still can't improve this problem when they actually walk - those who move quickly look more like beasts than humans when they move, but can be instantly recognized.
After signaling to the watchtower opposite, and immediately connecting to the phone at the city gate to report the news, the soldier in charge of monitoring continued to carefully and cautiously observe the figures, and kept reporting the specific situation he saw: "There are five in total, walking in a staggering posture, wearing very wide clothes, I can't see the specific situation on my body, I can't analyze whether someone is injured and the legs and feet are abnormal or the limbs are stiff after being zombies, they wear hats on each head, and they can't see their facial features...... Wait a minute! One of them waved at our monitoring desk! β
Several people on the small building were stunned, and after looking at each other a few times, they also hurriedly looked outside.
Although they were still some distance away, they could tell that one of the people who came was waving his arm in their direction.
"It's people? Injured survivors? The person in charge frowned and said in a deep voice, "Continue to observe." "Even survivors can't ignore it, especially now that things can happen at any time.
A phone call came from the surveillance building across from them, asking what to do nextβthey also saw one of the five waving to them.
"Captain...... Something was wrong, the man waved as he walked, and he didn't stop in between......"
"Could it be that you are worried about being injured by us?" It's not a case that someone who hasn't gone out on a mission comes back and gets injured by someone from the military because he's too wolf, but this can be avoided by waving his hand and shouting a few words to let others know that he's human.
After all, it's okay to drive back - zombies can't drive. If you encounter a situation where the car breaks down and you have to walk back, those people are really no different from the zombies walking on the road from a distance.
"Sniper, prepare!" As he spoke, the person in charge got up, frowning and staring at the five figures who were getting closer and closer. After receiving the signal on the other side, the sniper was also in position, aiming at the five unsightly figures.
Everyone held their breath at this moment, carefully observing the slowly approaching figure below.
The waving figure staggered toward it, waving its arms at the same frequency all the time, their bodies obscured by their wide clothes and their faces covered by their hats.
The person in charge slowly raised his hand, indicating that he was ready to shoot at any time, this situation was not right! They waved at the station, but none of them looked up at the position of the observatory. It was still some distance from the city gate, and the soldiers who were on guard near the city gate could not see these people at this time. If they were signaling to him to be harmless, why didn't anyone look up?
The hand was raised high, and it could fall at any moment, and the person holding the telescope suddenly shouted: "The skin on that man's hand is blue-gray and has signs of decay!" β
"Shoot!" The person in charge ordered loudly - even if it was a mistake, he took the responsibility! If they are really zombies, Kou must not put them in the line at the gate of the base!
"Bah, Bah!" After a few gunshots, except for one of the four figures who had not been shot, seemed to pause, and then, everyone saw that the figure was still walking slowly towards the base step by step according to the previous footwork!
This is definitely not human! No one will act the same way after the death of their companions! Unless something is wrong with his brain! But even so, it is impossible not to look at the companions who are on the ground at all!
"Phew!" After making such a judgment, one of the snipers immediately decided to take down the "person" who was suspected of being a zombie with another shot.
The messenger immediately reported the situation to the direction of the base, and when he heard the gunshots, the people who were waiting at the gate to check and enter the city became nervous and asked to speed up their way into the city.
The person in charge was about to send someone over to check the condition of the dead ones, when the soldier in charge of the guard with a telescope suddenly shouted: "Captain! There is a condition! There's a lot of stuff coming!! β
Everyone suddenly looked up and was stunned to find a lot of zombies pouring out of the streets in the direction of the city! A large number of speed zombies!!
The alarm went off suddenlyβa zombie influx.
ββββββββββββ
"W-What sound?!" Li Tie, who had just returned home and was about to lie on the bed to watch a large rest, rolled over and got up, Wu Xin, who was too flustered, accidentally rolled to the ground, and Han Li almost dropped his phone out of bed.
Wang Duo in the next room was hugging Zhang Su, who was lying on the bed watching a movie, asking for harmony - he watched these things every night these days and even fell in love with himself less often! Someone felt that he had been snubbed by Her Royal Highness the Queen, so he hugged someone's neck today and resolutely refused to let go. As a result, as soon as he poked his salted fish hand through the neckline of the house, the alarm outside sounded, and the place where he had just been in spirit instantly wilted.
Downstairs, Xu Mei and Song Lingling were chatting while teaching Xiao Xinran to recognize new words, and after hearing the voice, Xiao Xinran grew her mouth and looked up at the dark sky outside the window.
In 1604, Yan Fei hugged the little guy from behind and let him stretch out his dog paws, and Luo Xun was responsible for grinding his nails - no, if you don't cut it, it suddenly likes to pick and pull around recently, and it scratched a cushion on the sofa that day!
While grinding his nails, Luo Xun also counted it: "Tell me about you, you are not a cat?" What are you doing scratching things when you have nothing to do? β
The little guy didn't know that the "cat" was Shenma Dongdong, it only understood that Luo Xun's movements made it very uncomfortable, and his whole body trembled with Luo Xun's movements, so a certain dishonest dog was like dancing ballet, and kept tiptoeing on the ground with his two hind legs, trying to move out of the clutches of Yan Fei who was holding him behind.
At this moment, the alarm sounded, and the little guy took advantage of the moment when Luo Xun and the two were stunned and relaxed, and got out like lightning, ran to a cabinet in the corner of the room, and crawled in with his little ass and twisting.
The two glanced at each other, Luo Xun sighed and got up and walked to the direction of the cabinet where the little guy was hiding, while Yan Fei picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table next to him.
"It should be a zombie siege." Luo Xun said as he bent down to pull the little guy hiding underneath, "Don't cut it for you, come out, don't hide underneath, what if you can't get out when you turn around?" β
There was no contact information on the mobile phone for a while, and there was no message from the base. Yan Fei glanced at the screen and turned his head to look at Luo Xun, who was hooking up with the little guy and coming out: "I'll see if there's any news later, let's rest early today, I'm afraid we'll have to go to the outer wall tomorrow morning at the latest." "I don't know if they're going to fight the zombies, but he's afraid he'll have to keep an eye on the metal walls. Now there are soldiers outside with guns on their heads, and they should not be needed for the time being, but if the zombies besiege the city for too long, it is not good to say.
Luo Xun finally grabbed the little guy's two hind legs and pulled it out: "Okay, I'll finish it later...... Why are there slippers underneath? "The little guy was dragged out with a dusty and tattered slipper, look at that style, look at that style...... Luo Xun silently turned his head to look at Yan Fei, who was looking here when he heard the sound.
Yan Fei's eyebrows raised on one side, and he suddenly stood up from the sofa, took a piece of metal at random, and transformed a metal stick into the cabinet and poked it under the cabinet.
One, two, three...... And a big lump of dog hair.
"I finally know where my missing slippers have gone." Yan Fei grinded his teeth, his gaze soared to the little guy, and the little guy had already rushed back to its kennel at this time, and the bullshit was facing the two of them.
Luo Xun is funny and distressed - these are all things that can't be regenerated after the end of the world! Look, how many of them have been harmed? It's all hidden!!
Luo Xun had prepared a lot of daily necessities at home just in case, but who knew that the slippers would consume a lot of them in less than a year!! The missing ones are all single!!
In the end, the culprit still couldn't escape the tragic experience of cutting his nails, and what made the little guy wilt and droop his head was - it was confiscated from the collection!! It's a sad story.
Before going to bed, the two first received a message sent by the military to everyone with a mobile phone, and the central idea of the message was - take it honestly at home, don't go out and make trouble! Tomorrow, the base will issue task indicators to each team, and everyone will take turns to defend the fence and make their due obligations for the safety of the base!
What's more important is that the teams that don't contribute and evade their obligations will be forcibly disbanded! The team that is greedy for life and death when doing the task will also be disqualified from the official team!
As soon as this news came out, how many teams couldn't sleep Luo Xun didn't know, anyway, he slept well this night.
Others may not know, but Luo Xun himself understands very well that the base in this life is much safer than in the previous life, and in the previous life, the base failed to find out the situation in time, and the people infected with the zombie virus appeared from the inside before the zombie siege in the base was very chaotic.
But what about this life? Before the others went home, the base had already sensed the inappropriateness and made countermeasures in advance, and now even if there are zombies surrounding the city, there are still various fortifications that have been made before outside to resist for a while, which is enough for the military to respond and support in time.
Early in the morning of the next day, Luo Xun and Yan Fei really received a message from the military and Captain Guo, asking them to garrison the city wall!
The first person to react to the emergency last night was the military, and the people sent to the wall were basically military people, in addition to the relatively large squads in some bases, these squads basically have military backgrounds, and they must obey the orders of the military at this time.
And today, after confirming that it was impossible for the zombies outside the base walls to retreat in a short period of time, the military began to arrange and dispatch the survivors in the entire base.
Luo Xun and the two hurried to the meeting place mentioned by Captain Guo, climbed into the car and rushed to the designated place of the outer base together.
Captain Guo took advantage of the time of the ride to instruct everyone: "After a while, we will obey the arrangement of our superiors, each of us will receive a weapon, and try to shoot as much as possible." β
Everyone nodded in response, and a metal ability raised his hand and asked, "Then don't we need to use our abilities to fight zombies like we did before?" β
Captain Guo glanced at the four metal-based abilities in the team: "The specific situation outside is not clear, we need to decide depending on the situation, let's not make our own decisions for the time being, and follow the requirements of our superiors." "The zombies outside are not a small number, otherwise they wouldn't have fallen, and the survivors of the entire base would have participated.
Hurriedly came to the designated place and climbed the wall, Luo Xun glanced down, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart.
The first layer of fortifications under the city walls is now basically useless, and the two watchtowers that extend from the main entrance of the base are now empty, and they should all return to the base through the GuΓ² viaduct.
At this time, the dense zombies were surrounding the moat, one by one as if dumplings were thrown into the river, desperately crawling towards this side regardless of life or death.
Zombies can't be said to be afraid of water, they will gradually lose their mobility after being blistered for a long time, and their limbs will even slowly expand and dismember. The lethality of zombies in the water is completely less terrifying than on land. But if you can crawl out in a short time, the lethality of the zombies will not be reduced because they have soaked in water.
Therefore, the role of the moat is actually similar to the traps and big pits that Luo Xun dug when they were outside. On the contrary, it is also because this river cannot directly kill the zombies who are crammed into the river.
However, there is still a path between the river and the city wall, and although there is a row of large smooth stones on the bank, it is difficult for zombies to climb in, but if there are too many zombies squeezed into the river, they will all be able to climb under the city wall sooner or later.
At this time, the people on the wall are shooting the zombies who have not yet entered the river and are about to climb up from the river.
Yan Fei observed the terrain slightly, and then looked at the dense zombies with almost no end in sight, and knew in his heart: now this terrain is not suitable for them to use the kind of large iron plate attack like last time, nor is it suitable for large-scale metal crushing.
But fortunately, the zombies are still some way from the city walls, and they haven't yet reached the time when the people in the base can use the wide-area destructive ability.
Receiving their weapons, the group sped to the position they had been assigned to defend, raised their guns and began to shoot them below.
Luo Xun didn't use his own crossbow this time, but held a uniformly issued firearm and began to shoot below, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart - it is beneficial to follow the military action, otherwise how can you get such a good weapon if you are still like in your previous life? Moreover, once the military weapons are in short supply, the survivors need to find their own way, so even if they can get weapons, in order to save, they and the vast majority of survivors at that time would rather use their own self-made crossbows to kill the enemy, and the extra children they can leave behind can be exchanged for something in the base.
Luo Xun's target is also the zombies who are squeezing into the river like dumplings behind the moat, and the zombies who are trying to climb the river bank.
Dense, going forward and one after another, the zombies were hideous, waving their rotten arms and squeezing towards the edge of the city one by one, and in just one night, they actually surrounded the entire base! Like a black tide, it stretches out from the streets of the city, and it is densely packed like this.
Although Luo Xun and the others had never encountered such a big battle when they went out on a mission before, they had also encountered a similar situation, compared to the group of zombie rats they encountered when they went out at the end of last month, and now this situation with a strong wall below is much stronger than that day.
Although the other members of the metal team have never gone out to fight zombies, when everyone built a wall on the perimeter wall before, they would also kill the zombies under the city wall when the number of zombies under the city wall was large, at least everyone was a good hand at long-range shooting.
Shot by shot, from time to time, someone would throw a few burning bombs at the place where there were many zombies, and at this time, the abilities in the army did not use their abilities, after all, everyone's ammunition is still very sufficient. Just as they were blasting wildly in the seemingly endless tide of zombies below, suddenly a section of the overflowing moat that had been crowded and filled by a large number of zombies froze!!
Everyone's eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of the ice, and then they realized that there were more than just people in the army on the current city wall.
By this time, more than half of the soldiers who had held out all night had been withdrawn, and the various teams of Adepts in the city took over the army and stood on the city wall.
And the one who just unleashed the ability to freeze a section of the moat into ice was a group of ice adepts.
The person in charge of the military command divided the supernatural people who rushed over into different teams according to different departments for unified command. Ordinary people, like the soldiers before them, use thermal weapons to shoot the zombies below.
On another section of the city wall, Li Tie and the five people gathered together, holding the guns they had just received and shooting wildly under the city wall, because they had no abilities and were pure civilian personnel working in the military, so the direction they were responsible for was exactly facing the direction of the city.
Several people were holding weapons to shoot at the dense group of heads below, when they suddenly heard a shout from a person next to them, and saw a black gun falling directly from the wall, so frightened that several people suddenly shrank down and hid in the guardrail, and only after hiding did they have the leisure to look at the person who had just screamed, and saw the man holding his right arm in shock, and staring blankly at the bottom of the city wall - in this way, it doesn't look like he was hit by some ranged ability?
Li Tie and the others were wondering to themselves, when they saw the man's companion slap him angrily: "What's the situation with you?!" How did you throw the gun down?! β
The man glared at his companion with an aggrieved expression, his hand still covering his right arm, and angrily rushed at the position where the gun was dropped under the city: "Is that gun broken?!" As soon as I fired it, it hit me in the arm like it was going to explode! I can't hold it steadily! What kind of broken weapons did they issue? Not as good as the axe I used before! β
"Like it's going to blow up?" The man's companion looked at the spear in his hand in bewilderment, and tried to "touch" it below, and the man took a step back as if he had been hit by something, but he finally held the weapon in his hand.
Li Tie covered his mouth and his shoulders trembled twice, patted his companions next to him and pointed under them and continued to beat them - he didn't even know the recoil, and insisted that the gun was broken...... Even if you haven't used a real gun before, it shouldn't be so natural?
Li Tie and the others didn't know at all, because they had gone out of the base several times with the team, although each time they used crossbows to shoot zombies, they were different from people who had never used long-range weapons in terms of feel and accuracy.
In addition, they usually work in the army, so they naturally know some about the use of weapons, so they can quickly get started when they get this kind of weapon with some recoil for the first time.
ββββββββ
Zhang Su crossed his hands in front of his chest and stood on the city wall with an indifferent expression, looking at the dense group of zombies below, and suddenly said coldly to an officer standing beside him: "How many crystal nuclei exert how much power." β
The officer nodded with a straight face: "Don't worry. β
The people around looked at this man who was so beautiful in amazement, seeing that he was really virtuous and standing here to amplify his words, could he not think he was here to inspect?!
There are basically wind abilities around here, although they have basically been upgraded to the second level, but their abilities are not enough to kill a large number of zombies, and they can only use wind cannons to retreat and repel the targets below, so as to buy more time for others. So their current position is right above the city wall.
Now that Zhang Su is here, it proves that he should be the same as everyone else, and he is also a wind type ability. But it's really unpleasant to see that a wind-based supernatural is so bullish...... Even the wind powerhouses of the same line were very unhappy to see him like this.
Zhang Su ignored all the sights and gazes around him, grabbed a handful of crystal nuclei from the box that the officer was carrying, and a strange smile suddenly bloomed on his lips, and his peach blossom eyes were bent.
Suddenly! Everyone clearly felt the air around them flowing, and a huge wheal visible to the naked eye formed above the city wall, attracting the attention of all those nearby.
The wind signal is getting bigger and bigger, turning faster and faster, and with the movement of Zhang Su raising his hand and waving down, the target is directly in front of the city gate and the dense zombie group on the road behind the drawbridge!!
The wind exploded, engulfing all the zombies in the area covered by the wheals!
Wind Burst!
The moment the wind exploded, all the zombies affected were blown to pieces!!
Everyone looked at this scene in amazement, and slowly turned their heads to look at Zhang Su with a stiff expression. But he found that he squinted his eyes with a somewhat unhappy expression and looked at the place that had just been blown up by him, raised his right hand that had completely absorbed the light crystal nucleus and touched his chin, and suddenly said to the officer with a blank expression beside him: "It's too slow to kill like this, call all the fire powerhouses to come." By the way, also, call our little girl over too. β
The officer turned to him with his already stiff neck, and after a few seconds repeated, "You...... Guys? "When did this pervert join any team? Is there a pervert like him out there?!
Zhang Su glanced at him, and his tone was even more unhappy than before: "Otaku squad." "Okay, it's a low name, yes, but this team is called this name, who dares to have any opinion?
The officer nodded silently, picked up the phone and began to make contact.
