Chapter 450: Defending the City Wall

On the eastern horizon, the rising sun casts a faint yellow light on the battlefield full of corpses through the thick radiation clouds—the "villain" mechs can only clean up the corpses of those parasites close to the city walls, and further away are beyond their reach, and as for the parasitic worms that are not yet dead, they can only wait until the next round of the Kuroshio Tide hits, and the incendiary bombs fired by the artillery will destroy them.

After breakfast, the exhausted soldiers walked down the city wall with each other's arms, and another group of soldiers who had just finished resting and were full of energy ascended to the top of the city in rotation.

Most of the troops in this second round will be veterans - the number of parasites in the second round of the Kuroshio offensive will reach 500,000, and according to the temporary instructions of the coalition commander, in order to save valuable shells, the original three rounds of artillery shelling will be reduced to two, and the number of artillery used in each salvo will be reduced by 20%.

In other words, this second round of Kuroshio will withstand less than half of the shelling firepower of the first round of Kuroshio.

And the rest, all of which had to be solved by the towering walls.

In this way, the casualty figure on the Alliance's side will skyrocket, and at this time, these veterans with better experience and combat power can only be sent to the top, if you continue to let rookie recruits garrison the city wall, it is likely that the entire defense line will collapse directly in the second round of Kuroshio offensive.

"It's just an appetizer, and the next thing is the main meal—" Qi Lin smoked all the remaining small cigarettes in one gulp, and then extinguished the cigarette butt on the battlement of the city wall.

"This will be a tough battle, but the top management of the alliance should have prepared more than one hole card......" Cheng Yanqiu took over the conversation and said slowly.

One and a half million Kuroshio, in the first offensive, the alliance wiped out 200,000 with one-third of its artillery reserves, and the rest, there are a full 1.3 million parasites.

In the second wave of the offensive, there were 500,000, and in the third and final wave, there were 800,000.

Although these Kuroshio are composed of parasites with low IQ and little self-awareness, the consciousness that directs them behind the Kuroshio is clearly a thing with the same intelligence as humans.

At the beginning of the third phase, the mastermind announced the world-class mission in Asia, the goal of the mission is to find and eliminate the source of the Kuroshio outbreak, and players who complete the task will also receive a [Golden Serum] that can directly promote them to a level 5 evolutionary.

The origin of the parasite and the parasitic worm Qi Lin is naturally very clear, all of this comes from warehouse No. 9 in the Nerozsk underground fortifications, but only based on the research results of the former Soviet Union on Nazi zombies, it has not evolved into the scale it is today.

From the mutation of parasitic worms to the outbreak of the Kuroshio, there must be something else hidden in this!

It's just that now let's not talk about returning to Nerozsk to investigate the cause of the outbreak of the Kuroshio, judging from the current situation, it is extremely difficult to even block the Kuroshio from the border of China.

Even if the Alliance can wipe out all of these 1.5 million parasites under the walls of Herens, what about the other Black Tides? No one knows where they will go after swallowing up the Far East and Moscow, whether they will start attacking the European continent or, if they will turn around and invade China?

……

Three hours passed quickly, and the sun had fully risen into the sky—though the wasteland was still just as gloomy.

The second round of Kuroshio is already less than ten kilometers away from the Herrens line.

This time, the Kuroshio vanguard was made up of a single hunter-class parasite, thousands of hunter-class parasites on all fours, speeding across the wilderness, each with a distance of twenty to thirty meters between them—the standard skirmish line spacing for human infantry when charging, in which case neither flamethrowers, heavy machine guns, nor artillery could effectively eliminate these hunter-class parasites charging towards the walls.

"In this wave of black tide, there is likely to be a 'king-level' existence." Cheng Yanqiu looked at the hunting-level parasites in the telescope that were constantly jumping towards this side, and frowned slightly.

"Same as I thought."

"The 'king-level' parasite is equivalent to the front-line commander in the Kuroshio, and the mastermind behind the manipulator Kuroshio can only control the general trend of the Kuroshio, and cannot make such a precise and meticulous tactical command and deployment." Cheng Yanqiu continued.

"So, as long as that king-level parasite is eliminated, the Kuroshio's charging formation will definitely be chaotic - at least, there is no 'commander' to give follow-up orders to those parasites." Qi Lin put the K1A6 on top of a sandbag at the battlement and lifted the protective cover of the scope.

"I will help you find the 'king-level' parasite hidden in the black tide, if you can kill a 'king-level', the merit points you can get will be a hundred times that of killing a hunter-level."

Merit points, in fact, are similar to military merits, anyone who fights for the alliance can earn merit points by killing or completing some specific tasks, merit points can be accumulated all the time, and can be exchanged for corresponding material rewards at merit exchange points.

Fighting on the city walls for an hour earns you five merit points, killing a normal-level parasite earns one point, killing a hunter-level parasite earns fifty points, tower-level is three hundred points, and the rare "king-level" is five thousand points!

Five merit points can be exchanged for a new 10mm large-caliber assault rifle and 100 rounds of 10mm full-power rifle ammunition.

This ten-millimeter rifle was urgently developed by the alliance after the outbreak of the Kuroshio, although this rifle weighs twice as much as an AR-15, weighs a full twelve pounds excluding the magazine, and the recoil is terrifyingly large, but its power is much higher than the eight-millimeter caliber used to deal with mutant creatures before, let alone ordinary parasites, and even the hunting-level epidermis and hard muscle layers can shoot through.

As for things like serums, they are frequent visitors to merit exchange points, and fifty merit points can be exchanged for an F-grade serum, and as for E-grade or higher D-grade serums, the specific price is determined according to the type of serum.

……

……

"Found it! At ten o'clock, in the center of the low-lying area, do you see the four 'iron towers'? Cheng Yanqiu suddenly shouted.

"See, these four 'tower-level' haven't advanced since they got there, but there are only these four parasites there, and I haven't seen any trace of king-level parasites." Qi Lin said - although the magnification of the scope that comes with the Gauss sniper rifle is not low, the field of view is very narrow, and it is far less useful than the tactical telescope in terms of seeking the enemy.

"The 'king' is in ...... On the back of the 'Iron Tower', look at the last Iron Tower, and in the arms formed by the arms behind it, lies a parasite in the shape of a little boy! ”
