Chapter 294: It needs to be strengthened
"Hold your breath, child, look down at the tower, try to think of something happy, listen to this voice in my hand......"
The teammate who was pointed at Sophie's gun did not fight back immediately, but said in a kind voice.
At the same time, he gently tapped the barrel of an automatic rifle in his hand against the outer wall of the armored vehicle, and there was a rhythmic soft sound.
The voice sounded chaotic, but it was like a clear spring, which instantly cleared Sophie's originally chaotic and manic heart.
Sophie was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered her head and stared at the dark green bulkhead of the armored car, while some good memories kept flashing in her heart, trying to suppress the killing intent in her heart.
At this time, she could see out of the corner of her eye that there were many players in the entire team who had manic and crazy tendencies, but they were all stopped by their companions.
The people who stopped them seemed to be veteran players and extremely experienced.
Occasionally, sporadic gunshots were heard, but some players who really couldn't control themselves were directly killed by their teammates.
Fortunately, everything is fairly stable.
Although most of the people's expressions were noticeably more hideous, as if they were suppressing their hearts, the whole team did not become completely frenzied.
Sophie raised her gaze inch by inch, and finally saw the face of the comrade-in-arms who reminded her just now, and couldn't help but shake her whole body, and said in a trembling voice:
"Mr. Li Tongchen!?"
The eyes that are old but shining with wisdom, and the smile on the corner of his mouth like a spring breeze, are none other than the world-famous Chinese medical master - Li Tongchen!
After transferring to this armored car, Sophie has been shooting and hunting zombies non-stop, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the people around her, only to find out that her side was the famous Li Tongchen!
A leader among the medical elite who discovered the Gargoyle Healing Potion and the Evil Spirit Virus Healing Elixir!
Before entering the apocalyptic mission of "Real Doomsday Game", when she felt the previous apocalyptic missions, Sophie had already learned about Li Tongchen's deeds from many people.
In the process of researching virus treatment drugs, Li Tongchen can be said to be the commander's right-hand man, and in order to unite all the medical elites at that time, Li Tongchen directly revealed his identity in the real world, putting himself in danger of being hunted by the Purification Society and other evil forces.
It can be said that he is one of the few people in the entire Salvation Army, except for the commander and the commander of the legion, who is truly respected by everyone.
Li Tongchen smiled and nodded at Sophie, as if looking at his daughter, and said with a smile:
"Think about why you're here, don't be distracted by the outside world, and keep your heart......"
Then he picked up the speaker next to him, changed to a solemn voice, and said loudly:
"All of you in the medical support force, use your psychological knowledge and the interference of that tower to help those around you keep their hearts! Legion Commander, this tower can create some kind of magnetic field for brainwave interference, I suggest retreating for the time being, thinking about it in the long run! ”
After several previous pandemics, The Salvation Army has also made organizational adjustments and established a dedicated medical support unit led by Li Tongchen.
The corps commander attached great importance to Li Tongchen's suggestion, and also saw various changes within the Salvation Army, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.
Soon, the whole armored unit began to change from the rear to the front, returning along the road from which it came, and at the same time, a large number of infantry were quickly carried on the outside of various vehicles, and many of them found some pickup jeeps and the like to speed up the march.
At the same time, bursts of thunderous rushing sound sounded from all over New York City again, and everyone was shocked to find that the zombies in the entire New York City had changed their previous confusion at this time, and they actually showed a hideous face and rushed towards this team!
As far as the eye can see, dense zombies are crowded together, like a raging tide, rolling in!
The Legion Commander's eyes were like swords, and he ordered:
"Speed up the evacuation, turn all heavy weapons to the launch port, and fire a salvo at fifteen-second intervals! Rocket artillery, self-propelled guns ready, blow up that tower for me! ”
The firing ports of tanks and self-propelled guns slowly turned in the direction they were evacuated.
As soon as the barrel was erected, angry tongues of fire erupted, shooting cannonballs at the rushing corpses.
At the same time, two self-propelled guns and a rocket launcher aimed at the twisted tower in the distance, and instantly fired shells dragging the flame trail towards the tower.
At such a distance, the range of tank guns is simply not reached, and only self-propelled guns and rocket artillery are capable of direct attacks.
The legion commander, Li Tongchen and the others looked at the cannonballs whistling away with solemn faces, and Sophie also turned her head to look at it in between hunting zombies.
At this moment, a headache-inducing buzzing sound suddenly came from the tower, and the next moment, I saw that those shells and rockets seemed to have encountered an invisible wall in mid-air, and exploded directly in the air almost a kilometer away from the tower!
Fragments of the cannonballs shot out in all directions, but they couldn't hurt the twisted tower in the slightest, and they just scattered like fireworks.
The legion commander frowned, and ordered:
"Keep attacking! Knock it out for Lao Tzu! Evacuate at full speed and fight as you go! ”
Although there were many tanks and armored vehicles in their ranks, the only real long-range weapons were the two self-propelled guns and one MLRS, and at this distance, only these three guns could threaten the tower.
At this time, the surrounding zombies had already formed a rolling tide of corpses, surging from all directions, and the density was dozens of times higher than before.
Fortunately, although the number of zombies is large, the speed of this mechanized armored force far exceeds the speed of human running, and more than a dozen tanks open the way in front, directly crushing the vehicles and various obstacles blocking the road into cakes, and there is no obstacle at all.
Even if you encounter some ordinary short buildings and the like, you can directly hit them or blast them into pieces and pass through.
The sound of self-propelled guns rumbled, and they continued to fire shells at the tower in the distance.
But each of their bombardments, several kilometers away from the tower, exploded with a bang, and it had no effect at all.
"Legion Commander, it's useless to attack the towers in the distance, request that the self-propelled guns be put into battle against the corpse tide!" The voice of Nick, the commander of the 6th Brigade, was heard in the communication channel, and the two self-propelled guns were under his control at this time.
The regiment commander frowned, looked at the two shells that exploded in the distance in the air, and said:
"The application is rejected, continue to attack that tower, choose multiple positions for attack testing, speed up the shelling without delay!"
Although Nick on the other side of the communicator was reluctant in his heart, he immediately responded:
"Yes!"
The conversation between the Legion Commander and Nick was also heard by many people, and everyone was in different moods, all looking up at the tower.
This distorted and evil looking tower seems to be the control center of the corpse group, and perhaps only by killing this tower can the surging corpse tide be completely quelled!
The armored legion rushed forward, but the surrounding corpses had gradually surrounded it, and there was a bridge in front of it, but on the way to the bridge, it was already covered with dense zombies, at least tens of thousands!
There are relatively few buildings here, and it has become an open area, and although the machine guns of tanks and armored vehicles directly shatter a large number of zombies, there are still many zombies pouring over.
And these zombies don't seem to be the same as the previous zombies, and many of them even lowered their heads to avoid the strafing of machine guns.
Seeing this scene, the corps commander once again ordered:
"The anti-aircraft cannon clears the obstacles ahead, the armored vehicles are behind, and the infantry fires grenades at the rear!"
The formation of the steel torrent changed again, and the clusters of tanks in front moved to the sides, opening a wide path.
Then the four anti-aircraft cannons turned their muzzles and aimed at the corpse tide composed of tens of thousands of zombies in front of them, and began a round of cross-harvesting strafing!
The powerful kinetic energy of the anti-aircraft cannon arrived, and the zombies that were hit were directly shattered into clumps of plasma!
Many cannon shells directly pierced through dozens of zombies without even exploding, leaving behind shredded flesh and blood all over the ground, and then exploded again!
Although they had seen the scene of the high-explosive bombs fired by the tank blowing up the zombies, the Salvation Army soldiers present were still deeply shocked by the powerful harvesting ability of the anti-aircraft cannons.
In the face of powerful modern weapons, human flesh and blood are not worth mentioning at all!
In the blink of an eye, after several rounds of cross-volleys, the tens of thousands of zombies that were originally blocking the front were already in ruins, and there were bloody flesh and mud all over the place, as well as broken corpses.
Among the thousands of zombies still standing, many turned around and fled the battlefield!
This scene made many Salvation Army soldiers show even more shocking looks.
These zombies are terrified!?
This is simply incredible, completely subverting their perception of zombies!
Soon, this armored corps had already come to the bridgehead, passed through that pool of blood, and was about to go to the bridge.
At this moment, among the broken corpses on the ground, thousands of zombies suddenly climbed up and launched an attack on the team of the Salvation Army at close range!
These zombies were covered with those broken limbs, hidden very deeply, and at this time, they suddenly attacked, the nearest distance was only a few meters away from the Salvation Army soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, they had already pounced on the bodies of dozens of Salvation Army soldiers and began to bite wildly.
The movements of the zombies at this time are not like those unconscious creatures at all, but more like a group of well-trained soldiers, using only their own minions, but several zombies cooperate together, and each time they can directly tear the throat of a Salvation Army soldier!
For a time, the screams of the Salvation Army soldiers were repeated.
Many people didn't react for a while, and they were immediately bitten by zombies, and their teammates around them also seemed a little overwhelmed, and they didn't dare to shoot for fear of accidentally injuring their companions.
Fortunately, veteran players, including Nick and others, responded calmly, looked unsurprised, quickly killed the zombies, and executed the bitten teammates.
The zombies' raid took away a total of thousands of Salvation Army soldiers, and the damage was not serious, but the brows of the Salvation Army soldiers led by the legion commander were a little deeper.
These zombies actually know how to ambush and attack, and they cooperate so skillfully, they don't look like those unconscious monsters at all.
Obviously, their understanding of zombies is still too shallow......
The Salvation Army's team quickly rushed to the bridge, and by this time it had come to the edge of the New York city, and on the other side of the bridge, there was no large-scale corpse flood.
Obviously, the twisted and evil tower has an equally limited range of influence.
When the last armored car also rushed onto the bridge, the tide of corpses in the distance finally approached, and the surging tide of corpses composed of hundreds of thousands of zombies roared and roared wildly, and also rushed onto the bridge.
The legion commander gave the order with a blank face:
"Blow up the bridge!"
Immediately, the artillery that had been waiting for a long time began a salvo, and the artillery fire fell in the center of the bridge, blowing up the zombies rushing towards them to ashes, and at the same time blowing up large craters on the bridge deck.
As the bombardment continued, the bridge deck was finally blown through, and the bombed area of the bridge suddenly broke, temporarily isolating the zombies on the opposite bank.
The soldiers of the Salvation Army had just breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not expect that the tide of corpses was still surging, and they began to climb and stick to each other like marching ants, as if they were going to form a human bridge and build this bridge again.
Not daring to delay, the crowd, under the command of the regiment commander, continued to evacuate to the edge of New York, and after a few blocks came to a military base surrounded by barbed wire.
This is the military base they first discovered, and it will be the fortress they hold onto.
At this time, there was a combat team of 200 people left in the military base, and after seeing this mighty team, they immediately opened the gate of the base to let everyone enter, and at the same time, the surrounding defense posts and machine gun positions also began to quickly alert, killing some zombies that followed sporadically.
The armored car came to a halt with a roar, and Sophie jumped off top of the armored car and helped Li Tongchen down at the same time.
Looking back at the tower in New York City, she frowned and sighed slightly.
The commotion in New York City had subsided by this time, and the feeling of madness and chaos had disappeared by this time, and it seemed that it was possible to take a breath for the time being.
But the thought of that mysterious and terrifying tower gave her a deep sense of powerlessness.
She understood that if it hadn't been for the commander of the legion just now, who had stopped looking for his comrades in the Salvation Army and turned around and left, maybe they would have been killed by now.
She remembered hearing from the Salvation Army's predecessors that the commander was actually from the future, and that the various post-apocalyptic missions he set up in the game were actually his own real experiences.
If this is the case, how much tribulation did the commander go through when he faced this terrifying and strange environment alone, the tower that twisted the mind, and the corpses who had the wisdom to know how to ambush?
Sophie was thinking that a group of Salvation Army leaders were also gathering in the command room under the orders of the Legion Commander.
Unlike Sophie's worries, the Legion Commander at this time seemed to be extremely relaxed, looked at everyone and asked:
"Guys, do you have any experience piloting bombers?"
If there is something that cannot be solved by heavy firepower, it only means that the firepower is insufficient and needs to be strengthened.
