Chapter 1: Besieged
The smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the raging flames were constantly engulfing the streets, "crackling", and from time to time there was the sound of the collapse of the ruins.
There was a pungent and unpleasant smell in the air.
Like the smell of burnt corpses or burnt plastic, or a mixture of the two. Bullet casings scattered everywhere, rolling in the streets from time to time, and some paper crumbs and charred soot were scattered everywhere by the wind! Black smoke wafted above the city, and there wasn't much solar energy on the street, and the street had little life.
Except, of course, "them".
There are some zombies in tattered clothes, still wandering aimlessly through the streets. Some of them had bulging eyes and broken arms, limping with crooked feet, anxious to join the ranks of the zombies lying on their stomachs
They crouched and gnawed, their hands in their mouths, oozing blood and scattered pieces of flesh.
In every corner of this neighborhood, there are such zombies that are eating. Some of them also quarrel with each other, biting each other and eating each other in order to compete for food from their companions' mouths.
It was filled with the sound of wild beasts biting, and the sound was outrageous.
There's clearly an encounter here! And the human camp is almost completely wiped out!
"Task Force C-1 here, I... I'm a team member Liu Bai.... Please answer if you receive it. ”
In a cubicle on the block, a young man with a pale face tried to use a walkie-talkie to call headquarters. But there was a si~si sound of electricity inside. A companion clenched the QBZ03S 5.8mm automatic rifle in his hand, his fingers clenched too hard, and his fingers had turned horribly white.
"Still not good?" His companion whispered beside him, his lips peeling, they hadn't eaten much in a day.
Suddenly hearing the squeak in the corridor, the two of them were shocked, and Liu Bai hurriedly covered the sound of electricity coming from the call machine with his clothes. And the companion's gun hurriedly stood at the door.
"Click!" The sound of hurried and heavy footsteps was getting closer and closer, and there was some cracking sound from stepping on the wooden building that had fallen into disrepair. It was so clear that in addition to hearing the regular footsteps, the two of them could hear their own pounding heart rate.
You can't just turn off the intercom! Every time the intercom is turned off and on, there is an extremely high-pitched electric sound!
"Bang!" Gunshots were heard in the distance, breaking the silence of the day, and faintly the roars and footsteps of zombies converged in that direction.
"Bang bang bang!" The fierce gunshots continued to sound in the ears of the two of them, both of them looked sluggish, as if they were not surprised, and the dull sound of continuous bullets into the flesh was also faintly heard, but everything subsided after less than five minutes, except for some occasional screams, all that entered the ears were the chewing sounds of those hua~la~hua~la.
It was obviously a group of soldiers hiding there and being discovered by zombies, and the people of a team pulled out were all gnawed by this zombie tide, not to mention these scattered remnants of the defeated soldiers!
"Whew!" Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he was not discovered by the zombie who had just passed by, the zombie's nose and ears were very sensitive, as if it could always automatically detect living things. As soon as there is the slightest noise or something weird, they will always catch it.
Some of the remaining people fled to the attics of these streets waiting for help, but Liu Bai and the others had already heard no less than three such screams in a row.
They were ordered to carry out a mission to clean up the zombies in this small town and open up more living space for the rear.
The four squads of more than 100 people, who were fully matched, did not expect that they had just come down here, and they had already received the attack of the corpse tide before they could stabilize their positions and build a camp, relying on the favorable terrain, they could barely cope with it at first, but after fighting for more than an hour, they killed thousands of zombies.
There are still zombies coming one after another, and the zombies that were originally hidden in the building area also came out to attack them, and the enemies on all sides directly let them rout!
Liu Bai's companion's face was as dead as ashes, the torture of the past few days had made him haggard, and he trembled and untied the gun from his waist. Slowly moving to his head, the muscles of his whole body seemed to be spasming because of this moment's decision.
"Don't!" Liu Bai hurriedly held down his pistol safety, stiffly moved his already stiff neck, and shook his head, "Don't!" ”
The companion suddenly came back to his senses, slumped limply against the wall, gasping for air, as if he had to breathe in all the air in this space to suppress the fear in his heart.
The door to the small room in the attic was blocked by the wooden cabinet they had used to have here. But once they find it, this improvised fortification will be gnawed and crumbled by the zombies at any time. This kind of thing, they don't need to repeat the mistakes of the past to prove anything.
It is not necessary to get out, and he can only hold on to help, but he thinks that the possibility of getting rescue is extremely low.
"Hiss~hiss, this is the Southern Special Operations Force, I am Wang Meng, a member of Task Force A-1, the survivors received please answer, we are already in a forced landing support, Team C received please answer, over."
The voice from the intercom was like a booster, cheering up the two who were originally a little decadent.
"Saved, saved." As if grasping a life-saving straw, Liu Bai couldn't believe it, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he repeated the words frantically.
"Contact them quickly and tell them we're here," Liu Bai's companion was also a little frantic by the sudden voice.
"This is Task Force C-1, I'm Team Member Liu Bai, and my companion and I are ........"
"Roar!" The blocked wooden door was suddenly broken with a hole in it, a pale hand reached in, and the zombies found them!
"Hmm~Wow!"
The zombies were straining and trying to push open the wooden door, and through the rotten hole in the wooden door, they could see the bloody face.
Liu Bai hurriedly went up to block the door, and his companion moved some bits and pieces of debris around the wooden door and stacked them to form an obstacle, roughly aiming at the zombie's head, and his companion fired two shots through the wooden door.
"Bang bang!" The one that had reached through the wooden door drooped down. But they heard more footsteps approaching this way, pushing harder and harder towards the wooden door, and the things that were stacked on top of it kept sliding down to the side.
"Liu Bai is calling people!" The two fought desperately to top the door, and then remembered that they did not report to the rescuers.
"This is Liu Bai, my call number is 8562, I can't hold on here, apply for rescue, apply for rescue!"
"Task Force A-1 received, hold on for another five minutes, and we'll be there, over!"
But Liu Bai didn't think they could hold on any longer, the hole in the wooden door was cut out by those zombies with their hands, and the hole was getting bigger and bigger, and the wooden door had already been useless, if it weren't for the fact that this wooden cabinet was still there, they would have been attacked. But being pushed away from time to time by that force, Liu Bai knew that they were about to be unable to hold on.
"Bang bang bang!" The companions kept hitting the zombies with their guns, and there were many sounds of falling down, but the follow-up zombies were constantly coming, one after another, and they couldn't hold on........
