Chapter 42: The Fierce Battle (3)
When Cheng Jie and Li Sa led the special forces personnel to the entrance and exit of the checkpoint on the side of East No. 5, the situation here became very bad due to the lack of combatants - the zombie crowd had approached the gate of the checkpoint entrance, and the armed mutants mixed in with the zombie crowd were strafing and bombing the closed gate at the entrance and exit of the checkpoint, making the gate of the wide motorway in the middle begin to crumble.
Unexpectedly, the situation here was even stricter than what the stinger said on the communicator, Cheng Jie and Li Sa immediately did not dare to have any delay, and made arrangements for their subordinates respectively, and then joined the defense battle as quickly as possible.
"Applejack! We've got to get rid of those armed mutants first! After Li Sa learned more about the current situation here, he immediately said to Cheng Jie, who was following him, "Otherwise, if this continues, it won't be long before those armed mutants can break through the motorway at the entrance and exit of this checkpoint!" ”
"But now that the outside is completely surrounded by zombies, it will be difficult for us to go out and kill the armed mutants first!" Cheng Jie frowned and replied honestly, "Unless we go out against the firepower of those armed mutants bombing and attacking this entrance, can we have any other way to get out of the base?!" ”
"It's not a smart choice to rush out with that heavy firepower." Li Sa gritted his teeth and replied, "We have to think of other ways." ”
"Yes, judging from the current situation outside, as soon as we open the door, we will be directly overwhelmed by those zombies." Cheng Jie also had a very helpless expression, "If we wait for our people to clean up all the zombies blocked outside before rushing out, it will really be too late." ”
Of course, Li Sa was also very aware of the difficulty of action, but after pursing his lips and thinking seriously for a while, he immediately had a new idea.
"Applejack! Since the entrance and exit of this level can't be opened, let's find another way to get outside! After Li Sa finished saying this, he immediately stretched out his hand and pointed upwards at the towering wall of the base.
Cheng Jie saw the prompt of his action, and immediately reacted and said, "You want to use this high wall to climb out?!" ”
Li Sa nodded decisively: "As long as we descend quickly from the high wall next to the entrance and exit of this level, then we can cause the fire of those armed mutants to attack our blind spot at this moment, and then we just need to pay attention not to be surrounded by those zombies when landing." ”
After listening to Li Sa's words, Cheng Jie pondered in his heart silently for a while before he responded: "I have to admit that your mention is indeed a method, but the danger factor of landing quickly from a high wall is not low. The first test is whether our fighters can calculate the speed of the quasi-steel cable descent and grasp the strength of their own expansion and contraction of the steel cable at a pause, for this point, the person who has done the most perfect so far has not seen the second except Lu Yiting. The second is the ability to react when landing on the ground, after all, not everyone can save themselves and kill a place when they fall into the zombie horde, which is a great test of whether the warriors are good or not. ”
"I can understand the worries and doubts you said, and I must also admit that the ability to use steel cables for high-altitude combat is definitely the top level among us." Li Sa generously agreed with what Cheng Jie said just now, "But we don't need to measure the criteria of this operation by Lu Yiting's standards, after all, there is no second Lu Yiting in this base." Besides, what better way could you do it if you didn't take such a risk? ”
"It's strange that you, who have always pursued perfectionism, would relax the so-called standards of measurement." Cheng Jie pretended to be very surprised and raised his eyebrows, "But what you said is also right, it is indeed difficult to find a person in this base who can be comparable to Lu Yiting, and his conditions cannot be used as a standard to measure other fighters." ”
"So you're agreeing with my suggestion?" Li Sa then asked rhetorically, "If we agree, then we will quickly start selecting people who can adapt to this battle, otherwise if we delay any longer, the gate here will be bombed!" ”
"I can only agree, after all, I don't have a better way for the time being." Cheng Jie shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "But I don't really want you to participate in this action." ”
"Why?" Li Sa immediately looked at Cheng Jie suspiciously and asked.
"Because the battle of ziplining is a great test of the body's sense of balance." Cheng Jie told the truth very directly, "So this point is very bad for you who have a significant decrease in your sense of balance." ”
"I have fought this kind of combat many times, and I have a lot of experience!" Li Sa pursed the corners of his lips very dissatisfied, "I have never missed!" ”
"That was before!" Cheng Jie stared at Li Sa very seriously and shouted, "Don't forget your current physical condition!" If you mess around like this again, be careful that I'll tie you up! ”
In this special period of tension, in order not to let the surrounding combatants know that Li Sa's left eye is not in good condition, Cheng Jie specially picked such a general statement, so as not to shake others because of this. Anyway, the fact that Li Sa was still hospitalized before was also something that his subordinate comrades-in-arms knew very well, so Cheng Jie said this, and they all thought that Cheng Jie was worried that Li Sa's injuries had not completely healed.
"Captain Cheng, I think you're a little too worried, right?!" One of the special forces in Li Sa's team couldn't help but intervene in their conversation and said, "Just now at the East No. 3 checkpoint, isn't our captain's cousin very good?" We've all seen it, and his balance isn't as bad as you say. ”
As soon as the special soldier finished saying this, the other members of Li Sa's team immediately echoed in unison, and they all looked very upright to Li Sa.
"Applejack, looks like I'm going to have to fight." Li Sa also learned from Cheng Jie's very helpless shrugging action just now.
For Li Sa's appearance, Cheng Jie couldn't use other excuses to force Li Sa not to participate in this action. After all, Li Sa was not the only one present, but also Li Sa's group of comrades-in-arms were also present, so as an officer of the same rank, it was difficult for him to force Li Sa to make other choices. Otherwise, even if he interfered with the trespassing behavior of the captain of the other team, he would be held accountable for military action.
"I really don't listen to anyone's persuasion at all!" After Cheng Jie snorted angrily, he no longer expressed any opinion on Li Sa's decision to participate in this risky action.
"That's the kind of person I am." Li Sa generously admitted that he was a very troublesome person at this point, and at the same time, he knew very well now that no matter how bad his personality was, Cheng Jie, a half-brother, would never leave him alone.
So in a way, this can be regarded as a kind of coquettishness to Cheng Jie.
Then, after the two brothers decided on this plan of action, they quickly selected the fighters with the best individual combat ability, and prepared to implement the battle plan of sliding directly down from the high wall.
The rest of the personnel continued to guard the entrance and exit of the checkpoint, standing on a gun emcourse almost five meters high with the people who were already fighting here, and continued to shoot the zombies who kept blocking the entrance and exit of the checkpoint.
In the fierce gunfire, the group of soldiers led by Cheng Jie and Li Sa quickly climbed the high wall more than ten meters high with the use of steel cables. Then, after they had all made it to the top, they looked closely below the outside of the base, trying to find a spot where the zombies were not so dense and sliding to the ground.
However, it is a fact that Li Sa's line of sight can't play to his advantage at this time, but fortunately, Cheng Jie took the initiative to speak very considerately: "Ah Sa, you just slide down at that point." None of the armed mutants have spotted us yet, so it's a chance to take us by surprise. ”
Since Cheng Jie has already helped him take care of the position, Li Sa didn't have any hypocrisy, but replied directly: "Okay, then I'll slide down here." The others also hurried to find their positions, and we had to reach the ground together within five seconds of the interval control. ”
The other warriors standing at the top of the wall immediately nodded their heads in understanding.
Soon, Cheng Jie decided to slide and land not far from Li Sa, so that if anything unexpected happened to Li Sa, he would be better able to help him in time.
As soon as everyone had decided where they wanted to land, they fixed one end of the cable they were carrying with them to the top of the wall, and after trying to stabilize the fixed end, each of them was ready to slide down to the ground at any time.
Although all of them had a resolute look on their faces, it would be a lie to say that they were not afraid at all. After all, no one can guarantee that they will succeed in surviving in the next situation, and the only guarantee is that they will fight with all their might.
After Li Sa saw that everyone was ready, he decisively gestured to start acting.
When these warriors saw Li Sa's gesture, they immediately used the steel ropes on their bodies to boldly jump from the top of this high wall.
And after Li Sa saw that the people who were acting together had jumped, he didn't fall behind in the next second, and he ran quickly towards the bottom of this high wall with a running motion, which was like walking in the air. And when he ran down in such a short time, he didn't forget to quickly pull out the sharp cold weapon from the weapon entrainment, and was ready to kill the zombies at the landing site the moment he landed.
