Chapter 306: The Battle of Changji
Fleeing with tens of thousands of people is an extremely difficult thing. Fortunately, Mayor Huang had the foresight and commanded the soldiers to rescue dozens of cars during the fierce battle at night. These cars can quickly connect to various places to call for support, so that these refugees will not be too uncomfortable!
The cars had already been sent out to various parts of the nearby city, and perhaps in a few hours they would be able to get their first reinforcements!
The tall walls were shut, and the sound of the slamming on the gate made the survivors shudder. Fortunately, this is a gate designed to withstand demonic beasts, and it will not be easily attacked!
The sky was already bright, just enough to escort these civilians away from this place of right and wrong. One last glance at the city, Jasmine saw a tall figure standing at the top of the tower of the Long Bazaar, he was now like the King of the Living Corpse, leading tens of thousands of loyal subjects under his command.
"Markef, next time you come back, we will definitely send you where you need to go!"
The shadow seemed to hear something and jumped off the tower. The tens of thousands of living corpses were so anxious that they called out to their king, who was none other than Ma Kaifu, who was the mother of the living corpses.
The wide aisle automatically gave way in front of Ma Kaifu, and all the living corpses opened their mouths wide together, as if to praise their king, and sing the praises of their king's ambitions!
On the city gate, the huge latches were cut off by Ma Kaifu one by one, and even though he became a living corpse, he retained a lot of wisdom! The next moment, the gate was opened, and as the giant axe in his hand was raised, tens of thousands of living corpses were found together, sweeping towards the endless wilderness outside the city!
This should be the beginning of a new catastrophe!
Walking behind the crowd of survivors, Ronan let out a rare breath, "Let's ...... for the time being. It should be safe! β
"Isn't it...... The next thing we should think about is how to deal with the matter of recovering the long set? Another member of the team asked.
"Is it safe? Not necessarily, I always have a hunch that there is no way for a small long set to trap these tens of thousands of living corpses! β
Lu Ke's pessimistic words made his teammates look like ashes, could that kind of tall city wall really stop those living corpses?
Glancing at the walls of the long market behind him, a certain feeling of tension lingered in his heart. He had a feeling that the guys would catch up sooner or later!
"Report ββ, back! The living corpses are catching up with you! β
The scout's sudden news immediately caused a great panic!
Mayor Huang was shocked and angry, but after hearing the news, the first people to vibrate were those ordinary people. The news spread by word of mouth, becoming more and more alarmist, and at the end it was even spread that Mayor Huang had been eaten by a living corpse, and the soldiers behind had been wiped out.
There is a difference between a skillful official explanation and a false rumor by the public, and there are all these arguments......
But in any case, the people's hearts are scattered, and the people in front of them began to flee frantically, and those refugees who have seen the strength of the living corpse are not enough to hate themselves at this time......
The people in the back disliked the people in front of them for running slowly, so they pushed the people in front of them down, and then stepped on the bodies of the people in front of them, and the stampedes broke out in pieces, and the number of people who died because of the stampede skyrocketed, especially children and women...... Usually men play this violent role, and in the apocalyptic environment, strong men are much more likely to survive than children and women, especially if they throw their humanity away!
At this juncture, few people think about reaching out to those children or women on the ground, more often than stepping on them or their bodies, stepping on their spines and paralyzing them, stepping on their hands and feet to make it difficult for them to stand up again! Even among them, some people saw these children on the ground, deliberately stepping on their hearts and soft bellies. Because this is a collective event, it is rare to attribute the death of a child to the malice of a single individual. The child was not deliberately injured, but only died from a stampede, from an 'innocent' panicked and difficult crowd, and the final result was that no one deliberately murdered, all of this was an accident!
Such things are all too common in the last days when humanity and morality are collapsing.
The tide of panic spreads, and the emotions in it quickly infect everyone! More and more people fell, more and more people died, and the scene became more and more chaotic.
Influence is a very powerful force, the influence of the environment, the influence of emotions, can drive a whole group of people! Through influence, someone can turn a group of people into heroes, and of course someone can turn an entire nation into a devil. Now, a mood of pessimism, negativity, and despair for the future is affecting the entire population.
"Mayor Huang, the team is out of order, please have an idea!" Several affairs officers gathered around Mayor Huang, and their expressions were not very good-looking, I didn't expect the living corpse to catch up so quickly, is it going to end like this?
The mayor frowned: "How many soldiers do we have?" What about the ammunition brought out, how long will it be enough for us to sustain us? β
"Mayor, our soldiers are now less than four hundred, and the ammunition is ...... There's still enough ammo for another hour! The clerk reported the data to Mayor Huang, but he didn't quite understand the mayor's intentions, "Mayor, what do you want?" β
"All of them, build fortifications on the spot, and prepare for battle!"
As soon as Mayor Huang's order was given, the pale faces of these affairs officials turned to dead ashesβ
"Buy time and help the refugees to retreat! All those who are officials will leave me as a pioneer! β
The order was given even more ruthlessly, and the clerk, whose face was gray, fell to the ground with a bang, foaming at the mouth, unconscious......
Lu Keming and the members of his ability team also helped to build the fortifications, which made Mayor Huang and many soldiers grateful. Unexpectedly, the eldest lord from Xinjing was also so friendly, accompanying them to attack and retreat together, so that these soldiers could also feel a trace of warmth in the cold last days. And the mayor who personally took the lead...... If this resistance is not successful, it will be a benevolent!
A soldier who was building was communicating with his companions, we didn't know his name, we didn't know his age, we only knew that he was a member of the Changbazaar City Guard, he was still very old, very ambitious and idealistic, and he also told his companions that he wanted to see what the world with the sun was like...... "Do you think what we are doing now is heroic?" I wonder if our names will be remembered in the future...... "That's what he said!"
It just so happened that Mayor Huang walked past him at this time, and the mayor didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder, "You are already heroes!" β
And their names will be inscribed on the eternal monument of Changji.
