Chapter 68: The Siege Begins
"It's coming......"
Wang Hu, whose face was still not too good, put down the telescope in his hand.
The tide of corpses came faster than expected, and Wang Hu believed that his estimation of the strength of the Golden Triple Star was not wrong.
That is, I'm afraid something bad is happening where you can't see it here.
Now is not the time to think about such a thing.
Goliath itself is located in a mountain area, and it is also a fortress city built with the help of topography, so it has a natural advantage in terms of vision.
Even what can be seen directly with a telescope is actually quite far away, and it may take days to trek.
However, the area where the first line of defense is located is the outskirts of Goliath, and in places where there has been no defense line before, it is far enough to be far from the city, and it should be quite appropriate to describe it as "barren".
The word barren has never been a compliment, whether it is used to describe land or hair.
But there is another meaning to this word, which is that no matter how foolish you are, it will not get worse.
Well, that's not a compliment.
In short, there's something else going on here.
"Carter, Zhu, get those things ready, contact them quickly! Block it with * first! As soon as possible! ”
Wang Hu calculated the distance of the corpse tide and gave the order calmly.
"Oh!"
The two noble brothers, who had won Wang Hu's trust, rubbed their trembling wrists and shrank into the two simple board houses that had just been built.
It is a temporary communication device, and it is very unfortunate to use the long-distance wired communication method, which is now almost obsolete, that is, like a clay telephone made of cans, using a long wire with magic to communicate, and the communication distance is as long as the line......
Everything here is very basic.
If it weren't for Wang Hu's heart, probably no one would use this broken place as the first line of defense against the corpse tide.
Even the fortifications were astonishingly crude, with only a few lines of wood nailed out of existing materials to keep horses away.
What the? What is a rejection horse? It is the kind of triangular wooden fence often seen in war movies, and there are also non-triangular ones, which are generally defended by spearmen, and stab the blocked cavalry behind the fence.
The chain connection between the horses can play a little role, but it is a little better than nothing.
Stop the zombies? Think too much.
It was a zombie that even his own companions could trample into slag, and the rejection horse was just wood, and it was estimated that he couldn't hold on for even two seconds.
As long as it exists, it must have a meaning of existence.
Boom –
An explosion sounded in the distance interrupted Wang Hu's musings.
It's not because the zombies learned to use firearms, it's the sound of the explosion.
Goliath* does not have many reserves, partly because the price and lethality are often not proportional, and secondly, because there are not many enemies stupid enough to step on *.
Today, the *, which is about to turn into an aged kimchi in the warehouse, really comes in handy.
Not only can it kill and injure zombies in large numbers, but it can also become a signal for war.
Hearing the explosion*, the various defenses arranged along the way came into a state of activation, and the first wave of attacks was a powerful weapon erected in a top-secret area at the top of the Goliath wall.
"Boss! Will this thing work? Relics! ”
"Less nonsense! The captain said yes! It's not for us to get out! ”
A few sailors left behind by Blackbeard were busy on the ship, and there were few of them.
Yes, there is a ship resting on the walls, and it is a ship that cannot fly.
When the ship was first transported, it took a lot of manpower and material resources.
Most people don't know what the hell this is, but only a few know that this is the ship Blackbeard was on when he first went to sea, and it is now used as a decoration in Blackbeard's corporate headquarters.
Even fewer people know that the ship, which seems to be out of the water, is equipped with Blackbeard, which he uses as a powerful weapon to protect his hometown.
These days, the number of people who know the secrets of the ship has increased.
Under the weak sunlight, a meteor-like flashing object split the sky in half.
The range even exceeded that of the main guns on the main ship in Laminosi, and the trajectory closer to the arc proved that it was a projectile object.
It may not seem like a powerful weapon.
Wang Hu didn't say anything, and turned around silently, turning his back to the distant corpse tide.
Everyone else present also got into cover.
"A man never looks back at an explosion" is Blackbeard's creed, and Wang Hu is quite unimpressed with this approach, but he still has to do it honestly today.
A ball of light that can blind people's dog eyes appears in the army of zombies.
Mushroom cloud.
Wang Hu had already put on the earplugs first, and these were all the process steps that Blackbeard had explained.
Judging by the state of the earth shaking, the power of the explosion should have been terrifying.
The people who were still waiting in Goliath could see it clearly, and of course, these people were wearing protective sunglasses, and if they looked directly at the huge ball of light, they could go blind.
Wang Hu didn't see the explosion with his own eyes, nor did he watch the spectacular mushroom cloud rising from the ground like everyone else, but his skin could feel the dry, hot air, which couldn't help but make him frightened.
The location of the explosion was also a position that had been chosen a long time ago, not a random shot, and this position was also quite far away from the battlefield, so far that it almost did not affect this side.
But the air was still scorched.
He was anxious to turn around and see the effects of the explosion, so he put on his sunglasses as well.
The word scorched earth is probably not enough to describe the tragedy of the battlefield.
For the first time, the vast and boundless sea of zombies has appeared with scars that seem to be difficult to fill.
The length of the landscape is tens of kilometers, and the terrain will change forever.
How many zombies were evaporated, the strength of all the people in Goliath could not be calculated.
Even if they still have countless reinforcements, it will not be easy to fill such a huge gap.
As a result, a second mass killing weapon of the same magnitude erupted farther away.
It looks like it's a joke.
Because it's Blackbeard's gang, it's also a daily routine to play off.
The power of the explosion is still so huge, but the location is too remote, there should be no zombies there, and the traces of the two explosions overlap a large piece.
However, there are lakes.
The source of the lake is partly in an extremely distant place, and the lynx drifts from there.
The topography of the lake is higher than this.
When the edge of the lake exploded, a large amount of water swooped down along the traces of the explosion, and the third mushroom that was planted immediately cut off the path of the zombie attack.
The three explosions stacked up to create a new lake, a natural barrier against Goliath.
That's the real first line of defense.
