Chapter Forty-Seven: The Turmoil Before the War
After 24 hours of sleepless work, the tired Li Lu finally led the soldiers of the army to seize the time to complete the deployment of the defense project in the south gate urban area.
At the major intersections of the streets of the entire South Gate business district, a nearly ten-meter-high defensive wall has been piled up with abandoned cars or building materials.
The commercial district was divided into ten fronts, each lined with gasoline drums and other flammable and explosive materials on the side of high-rise buildings.
There are 500 small bombs made based on lithium batteries, which is entirely due to Liu Xing's technical support, which brings the bomb-making technology he learned in his previous life to this life, and this technology was actually invented by a soldier in this unit, and the specific name is unknown.
Twenty faster fighters were selected and prepared to follow Liu Xing and Jin Tao to carry out the lure mission.
And in the process of deploying the front, two things also happened that made everyone sad.
The first thing was that the soldiers who scattered out to collect supplies on the afternoon of the first day were unlucky to encounter a wave of zombies in an abandoned warehouse, and the five-person team was instantly poisoned by zombies, and only one ordinary soldier with a relatively strong physique escaped with injuries.
The wounded soldier returned to the unit at a loss, and Li Lu ordered the others to tie him to a stake, and for a moment did not know what to do.
After being bitten by a zombie, a person will turn into a zombie 100%, and the warrior in front of him doesn't even seem to have the strength of a first-order evolutionary, and now it's only a matter of time before he becomes a zombie.
This soldier, like Liu Feng and Jin Tao, is also one of the first to join the bodyguard company, named Li Ming, who has suffered a lot with Li Lu, and is obviously going to get married this year, but he didn't expect the apocalyptic crisis to break out.
In the next month, Li Ming finally survived the crisis and finally settled down, but now he is about to become a zombie when he encounters an accident.
Watching Li Ming, who was tied to the stake, keep spitting out black liquid, Li Lu also realized that Li Ming was finally going to become a zombie, but the pistol on his waist was not taken out for a long time, and he wanted to kill the little brother who had followed him for so many years with his own hands, Li Lu couldn't do it.
"Brother Lu, kill me...... I can't stand it......" Li Ming's right eye has completely turned into a zombie.
The few soldiers next to him who had lived with Li Ming for a long time also couldn't bear to look at them directly, and none of them were willing to do it themselves.
"Li Ming, you ......" Li Lu's voice did not fall.
A black light flashed, Liu Xing rushed forward and swung out the future battle knife, his hand rose and fell, only in an instant, with the fall of the wooden stake behind him, Li Ming's head slowly fell to the ground, and blood gushed out from his neck in an instant.
Li Lu was stunned by Liu Xing's behavior, he didn't understand how the 19-year-old boy in front of him was decisive and ruthless.
"Alright, you guys clean up!" Liu Xing withdrew his future sword and said indifferently.
Several warriors didn't move for a long time, and they, like Li Lu, were shocked by Liu Xing's behavior in disbelief, this is a companion who gets along with him day and night! didn't even say his last words, but Liu Xing decisively cut off his head.
"What? Do you want me to do it myself? Seeing this, Liu Xing said, "Tell you, if you are infected with the zombie virus on the battlefield in the future, I will also solve you as soon as possible!" ”
After speaking, Liu Xing left silently with the sword on his back, leaving behind a few soldiers who had not yet had time to be sad.
Looking at Liu Xing, who was indifferent and indifferent, Li Lu admired his decisiveness and clear killing in his heart, Liu Xing actually did the right thing, his move not only helped him solve his inner problems, but also helped Li Ming end the pain of zombie infection.
This matter quickly spread in the camp, and Liu Xing's title of devil boy was completely confirmed.
And the second thing that happened when the front was deployed was the most painful and worrying thing for everyone.
Li Hongyu, the leader of the seventh squad, and ten soldiers escaped from the battle, taking a large amount of military supplies and food with the troops, and secretly left at night.
"Brother Lu, don't be angry, this is human nature, people don't kill for themselves." Liu Xing patted his shoulder and comforted.
Liu Xing, who has memories of his previous life, actually knew that Li Hongyu would be a deserter for a long time, and the reason why he did not deliberately stop it was because Li Hongyu would be of great use in the future.
"But I didn't expect him to take away nearly a small team of people, it was a time when there was an urgent shortage of manpower, and now that he had lost so much combat power, wouldn't the situation be even more urgent when the battle began tomorrow?" Li Lu complained.
"Brother Lu, think about it from another angle, now he left early, instead of escaping during the battle, and it also gives us enough time to readjust, if we fight with the zombie group, people will not see, it is very likely that we will lose all because of him." Liu Xing continued to explain.
After listening to Liu Xing's words, Li Lu's anger disappeared a lot. Li Hongyu's early departure does have pros and cons, now that the incident has happened, Li Lu has to think from a good angle, and can only comfort himself.
The episode of the two events did not wear out the hearts of the other soldiers for a decisive battle, and after deploying everything on the battlefield, all the soldiers rested early, recuperated their energy, and prepared to set off in the early morning to meet the zombie horde.
The army of zombies outside the suburbs of the South Gate has approached 80,000, and there are zombies in other areas that are gathering along the periphery of Yanjiang City.
Zombie Lan Guo stood in front of the dense army of zombies, and there was a look in his eyes that other zombies did not have, which was very vague, but it was enough to show that his thoughts were gradually developing.
The second-order zombie He Rui looked at the zombie Lan Guo a little blankly, he always felt that the leader in front of him was very familiar, and there was an indescribable feeling lingering in his mind.
Although the second-order zombies also have a little intelligence, compared to the third-order zombies, they are still too clumsy, and the brain cannot store too many memories, which is the deficiency of the second-order zombies.
He Rui, who has become a zombie, has a brain that stores memories for about three days at most, and memories that exceed three days will be automatically cleared due to the lack of hippocampus in the brain, so the zombie He Rui can't remember that the zombie leader in front of him was infected by himself a week ago.
Night was falling, and the evening breeze was blowing through the zombie army on the outskirts, and they didn't know why they were gathering here, but they obeyed a voice in their heads, a voice that could not resist, and ordered them to gather here and wait for the order.
The way that Zombie Languo controls low-level zombies is through the zombie brain waves emitted by his brain, directly controlling the thinking of low-level zombies and controlling every move of low-level zombies, and the second-order zombie He Rui also controls first-order zombies in this way.
The hierarchical differentiation between zombies is gradually becoming clear.
