Chapter Forty-Eight: Try it no matter how sure you are
The convoy did not carry many thermobaric bombs, and they did not dare to use them wantonly, and after the surrounding mutant beasts lost the suppression of the thermobaric bombs, they attacked again, gathering more and more on the periphery, and the convoy could not even retreat. If this continues, there will always be a time when the ammunition will run out, and the artillery will also be damaged by overheating, and at that time, except for a few people, everyone else may be buried here.
The corpses of one-person-tall mutant beasts had been piled up in front of Chu Xiang and several people, and the beasts were still constantly attacking the defense line of the convoy, fearless of death.
"Ten seconds after the artillery support arrived, everyone withdrew to the car." Staring at the time on his watch, Song Ming ordered.
After receiving the order, the warriors on the roof of the car returned to the chariot one after another, losing the suppression of the firepower on the roof of the car, and the attacking mutant beasts became more ferocious.
"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven......."
"Six, five, four, withdraw."
Song Ming turned over and rushed into the chariot, and at the same time, Zhang Zhen, Bian Chuxiang and others also retreated into the chariot, everyone covered their ears tightly, and at the same time opened their mouths, waiting for the arrival of artillery support.
As soon as everyone retreated into the car, there was no fire suppression, and the mutant beasts surged in all directions, and the zombie army formation that was blasted into the cliff wall also got a chance to breathe and gathered and advanced again.
Just as the mutant beasts all over the mountains were submerging the convoy, suddenly cannonballs rained down from the sky, and the rumbling explosion was earth-shattering, plowing the entire valley and the surrounding mountains, and then a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded.
The earth shook, the smoke covered the sky, the flames were raging, and the four chariots shook like small boats in the sea in the terrifying explosion, and all the mutant beasts that were affected were torn to pieces. The ploughing did not stop, and the last batch of shells exploded directly in mid-air at a distance of 300 meters, burning the entire sky into blood red, which turned out to be airburst thermobaric bombs.
This was the real saturation cover attack, and everything in the valley was leveled except for a hundred meters around the four chariots. Fortunately, the positioning of the artillery fire was very accurate, and none of them fell within 100 meters of the convoy.
"All units report the results of the battle." In the billowing smoke and dust, Song Ming's voice sounded.
"Ninety-five percent of the mutant herds are cleared."
"The army is destroyed."
"The zombies are intact and approaching."
Hearing that the zombies were approaching, Zhang Zhen and Bian Chu immediately rushed out of the chariot to several people, preparing to fight. With the combat power of zombies, if they get close to it, they can destroy a chariot with a single slap.
In the thick smoke and dust, the ground was full of infrared residues after the bombing, the main gun of the combat vehicle could not lock the position of the zombie general at all, and the remote-controlled machine gun could not keep up with the speed of the zombies, just when the seven people came out of the car, the zombies had already crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and approached the No. 34 tank on the left.
"." Zhang Zhenbian shouted angrily, swung his fist to catch up, and Chen Ying also shot.
Unexpectedly, everyone was unharmed, and when they saw the oncoming Zhang Zhenbian and the two, the zombie drew out his long sword, and the sword light poured down, and the two hurriedly dodged.
The war broke out again, Zhang Zhenbian and Chen Zheng fought zombies, and Qin San and Chu Xiang protected a chariot with several people to prevent zombie dogs from jumping off the wall. After a big battle, Zhang Zhenbian and Chen Ying defeated the zombie again, Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi stepped forward to help, and the four of them held the zombie down. The zombie kept struggling, roaring and roaring, dusty, unable to get rid of the internal strength of the four people, and was pressed into the ground by the four people for a few feet, Qin Santong seized the opportunity and hurriedly stepped forward, pinched a handprint, pressed it on the zombie's forehead, and fed the zombie some elixir that he didn't know what it was.
After Qin Santong made a move, the zombie stopped struggling, the red light in his eyes dissipated, and he closed his eyes.
"Whew! This guy is really anti-beaten! Zhang Zhen shouted, the two of them were almost twisted by the huge force of the zombies, and turned to Qin Santong and said, "This guy won't have corpse poison like on TV, right?" ”
Qin Santong smiled and said, "A TV is a TV, but if you are bitten by it, you will not become a zombie, but you will see blood and seal your throat." ”
"No, it's more poisonous than on TV!" Zhang Zhenbian jumped up in fright and hurriedly looked at his hands.
"Don't worry, his skin is good, it's not so easy for the toxins to come out, the toxins in his body have been condensed into solids, and they are copper and iron, so it is basically impossible to leak out." Qin San is the same way.
Suppressing the zombies, several people used various equipment that had been prepared to tie the zombies like zongzi, the soldiers unloaded a huge cylinder from the car, and Qin Santong carefully placed the zombies into the cylinder and sealed it.
After disposing of the zombies and looking at the messy valley, Qin San said in the same way: "Song Ming, you give the equipment to the three of them, and you are here to prepare to respond." ”
"Yes." Song Mingdao.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Chen, Chu Xiang, Shi Wuzheng, Gongsun Qi, let's go into the cave and explore." Qin San is the same way.
Several soldiers took out a bunch of things from the car, it was some lighting monitoring and other equipment, Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng were both high-level students, and the soldiers in charge explained a little, and the two of them knew how to use these things.
What embarrassed Chu Xiang was that Nurse Xiaoting was in charge of handing over some medical things to him, Chu Xiang didn't dare to look at the woman in front of him at all, his eyes were just nailed to the ground, uh-huh, he took all kinds of things stiffly, and didn't dare to touch her hand at all. The cold voice seemed to be urging his life, with a kind of stubbornness that made Chu Xiang extremely embarrassed, but fortunately, it was only the use of two antidotes, and the handover was completed quickly.
I don't know how long it took, after the two handed over, Chu Xiang took the equipment from the three people, and the six people went to the cave carefully. The valley that had been bombarded by artillery fire was in shambles, and the bones of the mutant beasts were piled up in several layers, and every time they stepped on it, they stepped on the bones, and the whole valley turned red and stenched.
As soon as the three of them walked away, they didn't want to show their weak side in front of Chu Xiang, and Nurse Xiaoting, who was holding back her nausea, finally couldn't help but start vomiting, Chu Xiang couldn't help but sigh, and her heart was extremely uncomfortable.
"Acquaintance?" Capturing Chu Xiang's sigh, Gongsun Qi asked.
Chu Xiang nodded and shook his head.
"And what are you sighing about?" Gongsun Qi had a strange expression and continued to ask.
"This world is not for women." Chu Xiangdao.
"When did our Mr. Chu Da become so compassionate?" Gongsun Qi said with a smile.
"What, don't you give it?" Chu Xiang choked.
"I don't dare." Gongsun Qi said with a haha.
Approaching the zombie army formation at the mountain bag, the two of them didn't dare to talk distractedly, and looked around intently.
Qin Santong carefully inspected the broken puppet soldiers of the army formation, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a long time, he said to Chen Ying: "Brother Chen, please go in and explore again, safety is the best." ”
The puppet army was almost completely destroyed, except for a few puppet soldiers intact, the others were blown to pieces beyond recognition.
"Okay." Chen Ying nodded and entered the cave again.
After Chen Ying entered the cave, after a while, the cold air in the cave surged, and everyone hurriedly avoided it.
"There shouldn't be anything else in there, right?" Zhang Zhen said.
"Who knows, be careful." Qin San is the same way.
"This kind of thing is enough to go against the sky, if a group of them come, it will be fine." Zhang Zhen said, before the words fell, there was a sudden rumbling in the cave, like wind and thunder.
"I'm rubbing, there's really still there." Zhang Zhenbian's color changed, gathering his energy and concentrating, ready to fight.
Qin Santong waved his hand, and Chu Xiang hurriedly retreated to the three of them.
A moment later, Chen Ying rushed out of the cave with a disgraced face.
Everyone was preparing for battle, but nothing came out.
After a while, Qin Santong asked, "What's going on inside?" ”
"There's another one." Chen Ying said in a deep voice.
"Sure enough, that's a bit of a problem." Qin Santong stroked his long beard and said.
"Trouble the egg, let Lao Tzu go in and flatten it." Zhang Zhenbian shouted.
"That's all there is to it." Qin Santong nodded.
"Does that really mean it?" didn't expect Qin Santong to say this, Zhang Zhen stared at Qin Santong, damn this old boy, pit Lao Tzu, secretly thinking that he must not show his weak heart, otherwise he will be laughed to death by several juniors.
"What's the solution? This is obviously an arrangement outside the main and inside the main one, and this guy will definitely not come out, so you have to go in and beat it. Qin Santong said helplessly.
"Okay, let's see if I don't beat it half to death." Zhang Zhen said hatefully and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"The predecessors are slow, the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, don't be impulsive." Chu Xiang spoke out at the right time and relieved Zhang Zhenbian.
Zhang Zhenbian stepped down and nodded: "Also, the enemy is dark and I am clear, it's not good to mess around, so you can plan it properly, so as not to spoil a big thing." ”
Qin Santong smiled, turned his head and asked Chu Xiang, "What do you think?" ”
Chu Xiang said without thinking: "Step by step, if it doesn't come out, we will force it in, and the anti-guest is the main thing." ”
"Okay." Qin Santong nodded.
Zhang Zhenbian and Chen Ying opened the way, Qin Santong followed, and Chu Xiang, Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng installed various lighting and camera equipment on the cave wall all the way, illuminating the cave brightly.
The six of them set up lighting and camera equipment all the way, and slowly advanced deeper into the cave. The cave is very deep and very large, and after entering more than 20 meters, the width of the cave has been more than 30 meters, more than 10 meters high, and the high-power lighting equipment cannot completely illuminate the cave.
Infrared detectors, thermal energy detectors, and all kinds of other equipment that I don't know how to use, Chu Xiang and the three of them installed all kinds of things they brought in in to form a dead-end monitoring of the entire cave.
The depths of the cave are full of white bones, there are fallen gravel everywhere, every foot stepped on, it fell on the white bones, Qin Santong used a strong flashlight to shine into the depths, in the fog of dust, it was vaguely visible that there was a flat stone slab at the end.
"Be careful, it's almost there." Chen Ying reminded.
Chu Xiang and the three of them installed lamps and lanterns, illuminating the depths of the cave as if it were daylight, but there were no zombies, and neither the infrared detector nor the thermal detector found anything abnormal.
Zhang Zhenbian walked cautiously, everyone covered each other, approached the stone wall at the bottom of the cave, and could already see the words on the stone wall, and the zombies who attacked Chen Ying still did not appear.
Scold. A soft exhalation suddenly sounded in the cave, and a strong wind hit Zhang Zhenbian, and then the wind on the right side of the cave wall blew fiercely, rolling towards Chen Ying.
Zhang Zhen turned around and punched, breaking through the strong wind, and swept towards the zombies attacking Chen Ying with a whip leg.
The fists and feet intersected, and the three parties were separated with one touch, Zhang Zhenbian and Chen Ying stepped back on guard, and the zombies who appeared also took a few steps back, their backs to the stone wall, and their blood-red eyes were extremely bewitching under the illumination of the light.
Another tall and mighty zombie wearing heavy armor and a long sword hanging from his waist, although it is not as powerful as the previous one, its calm momentum is more than that.
"Kill." Zhang Zhen roared, the zombie pushed out with one palm, the fist handed over, the strong wind howled, the wind was fierce, and the rocks fell like rain above his head.
Under the blow, the zombie did not move at all, steady as Mount Tai, Zhang Zhenbian was repelled by more than a meter, and his feet dragged two deep dents on the hard stone floor.
This zombie is obviously more powerful than the previous one, Zhang Zhenbian's blood is surging, he is cautious, he doesn't dare to shoot again for a while, and the zombie doesn't chase after him, which is strange.
Seeing the zombie behave like this, everyone understood that it must be guarding something behind it, and this cave seemed even more mysterious than expected.
I don't know what other strange things are in this strange cave, and the current situation, I am afraid that there are many dreams at night, Qin Santong immediately made a decision, and said: "Two brothers, let's go together." ”
Qin San drew his sword together, and the three top masters went up together, and suddenly the strong wind in the cave was agitated, and the ground shook.
The zombie immediately drew his sword, the long sword in his hand was like a galaxy pouring down, the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, Qin San and Zhan Lu were in hand, not afraid at all, Zhang Zhenbian and Chen Ying were empty-handed against the enemy, but it was difficult to break through the sword net, the zombie intended to hold on, and did not pursue, for a moment and a half, the three of them could not attack it.
Even though the zombie is strong and invincible, the magic is mighty, and finally it is difficult to defeat the six hands with two fists, and it is difficult to parry the siege of three masters, after a few minutes of stalemate, the zombie began to fall into a decline, parryed, the long sword was shot down, and then knocked down, and the three of them hugged each other, hugging the zombie's hands and feet.
Seeing this, Chu Xiang and the three of them hurriedly stepped forward to help, Gongsun Qi hugged the zombie's legs and let Qin Santong free his hands, while Chu Xiang and Shi Wuzheng held the zombie's head and asked Qin Santong to hold the zombie.
After subduing the zombies and tying them up with steel cables, Qin Santong carefully inspected the cave to make sure that there was no other existence, and then returned to the stone wall and studied the words on the stone wall.
There are six small fist-sized seals engraved on the door: Chu Xiang only understands three: *Tian*, Kyushu*.
Qin Santong brushed away the dust on the stone wall, and the five of them stood behind, not daring to act rashly, for fear of touching the mechanism above. After brushing away the thick dust, everyone realized that the stone wall was not a stone wall, but a stone door, with a man-high groove on each side of the door.
Except for the six words on the door, there is no difference in the whole door, and there is no mechanism button anywhere, or the Nine Palaces Bagua Cracking Array like in the novel.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing where to start, but Qin Santong was not in a hurry, patting here and there, and didn't know what he was doing, and said after a while: "The door is too thick, and the armor-piercing bullet can explode, but that may destroy everything inside." ”
Well, it turns out that the master has been studying for so long, and he is calculating whether he can use artillery to blast open the stone gate.
Zhang Zhenbian couldn't help laughing: "The Sprinkle family still thinks that the earth master is so godly, it turns out that he also uses explosives."
Qin Santong was unimpressed by Zhang Zhenbian's ridicule, stroked his beard and said: "It is best to use the simplest way, why should you follow the designer's idea." ”
The righteous and stern statement is high-sounding, and it is impossible to refute it.
"Then you should open the door." Zhang Zhenbian scoffed.
"Song Ming, send another zombie over." Qin Santong ignored Zhang Zhenbian's ridicule and said to Song Ming outside through the walkie-talkie.
Qin Santong took a closer look at the stone wall again, and found that there was nothing special, and turned his head to a few people: "Zombies, the real reason for their formation, so far it is impossible to know, according to historical records, the first zombie is called Qian, its soul and body are formed into generals, Houqing, Yinggou, and Drought Fish, Hou Qing and Drought Fish are killed by the Yellow Emperor, and the generals and Win Gou are nowhere to be found, when Hou Qing dies, curse all those who die unjustly can become zombies, the zombies described in later novels and movies are like this, but is there really such a thing, I don't know, and the two we came across, according to the classification in the novel, probably belong to a kind of flying corpse, which should be artificially refined. ”
"You don't even know, how can you subdue them?" Zhang Zhenbian shouted.
"I'm not sure, I'm just trying to see if I can make it." Qin San is the same way.
"Okay, you're playing with me." Zhang Zhen said angrily.
Qin Santong was embarrassed and covered it up with a smile.
"Brother Qin, there won't be a drought here, right?" Chen Ying asked with a somewhat solemn expression, the guards at the door were already two flying corpses, and it was not strange that there were dry corpses inside.
"Who knows, if you meet it, it will only be Amitabha." Qin San is the same way.
Chen Ying had to smile bitterly.
Such words are shocking, Chen Ying did not continue to ask, his face was very solemn, Zhang Zhenbian was full of indifference, neither of them spoke, Chu Xiang was worried about the three of them, but it was not easy to ask.
"Chu Xiang, do you think there will be a drought here?" Chu Xiangzheng was thinking, and Qin Santong suddenly asked.
Chu Xiang didn't expect Qin Santong to ask him, touched his nose, and said in an astonishing voice: "Ninety." ”
