Chapter 374: Melee Combat
So, after a few more rounds of shooting, the remaining zombies rushed to a distance of only about 25 meters from Chen Ran's position.
This zombie group, which originally had nearly 140 zombies, has only about 30 zombies left.
Even the only two corpses in this zombie group have been solved by the sniper team for the first time.
So, at this time, Chen Ran couldn't help but order again: "Fire support and artillery squads retreat from their positions." The rest of the personnel change to cold weapons, and we prepare for melee combat! ”
Chen Ran's convoy is now very rich in the number of cold weapons.
Especially after Qiu Manfu's master and apprentice joined, the quality of their cold weapons was directly improved by several grades.
At present, Chen Ran's combat units are equipped with weapons except for an assault rifle and a pistol.
Each person will also be equipped with some corresponding melee cold weapons.
Like the Sancai Formation, it is configured according to the standard of two pikemen and one sword and shield bearer.
So at this time, among the 42 people in the two combat groups of Liu Jinlong and Jiang Wenxi, 28 were pikemen and 14 sword and shield bearers.
As for the people in the special combat team, the weapons used are more miscellaneous.
Weapons are all customized according to their own preferences and specialties.
At this time, according to the order, Chen Shusheng and Xiao Tengcan had already immediately begun to direct their fire support and artillery teams to retreat.
Make room for the people of the combat squad and special operations team to fight.
As a heavy firepower squad, their personnel carry large weapons, which is inconvenient for them to participate in close combat.
At the same time, those combat squads and special operations team personnel who stayed in place and prepared to start melee combat with zombies were all replaced with their own cold weapons.
And quickly formed a three-talent formation, with the sword and shield hand in front and the pikeman in the back, and stretched the spear flat from both sides of the shield.
And at the same time, all the three-talent formation groups also began to quickly move closer to the middle.
Soon, in front of Chen Ran and the others, a defensive formation was formed that was like the battle of the ancient legion.
In front of them are all large shields for defense, and in the back are 28 spears, pointing directly at the zombies who are rushing towards them at this time!
The distance between the two sides at this time is getting closer and closer, and a big war is about to break out.
However, it was Chen Ran and Xu Kai who were the first to attack.
Because of Chen Ran and Xu Kai's abilities, they can now attack enemies 10 meters away from them.
So, wait until those zombies are already in range of their abilities.
Chen Ran and Xu Kai had already taken the lead in attacking.
And in the past few days, Chen Ran's ice ability level has also improved again.
After he launched his ability attack, seven ice spikes in a row instantly appeared on the path of the zombie horde's charge.
Immediately, there were zombies who didn't have time to dodge, and they hit it head-on.
The sharp ice spikes pierced through the bodies of these zombies in an instant.
After all, their original charging speed was still very fast.
As a result, some zombies were immediately stuck by the ice spikes and couldn't move.
There are even some zombies who are not very lucky, when they were pierced through their bodies by Chen Ran's ice thorns, they were injured to the heart and hung up directly!
Therefore, Chen Ran achieved the first kill in this melee attack.
And it's also a zombie that kills or traps several at once!
It boosted the morale of everyone.
After all, there are not many zombies left now.
If you kill or trap a few more, there will be fewer zombies left, and the threat will be lower.
Moreover, Xu Kai's lightning power has also increased now.
In a flash of "crackling", two lightning bolts wrapped in huge power were like silver snakes coming out of a hole, and they crossed the distance of ten meters on the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Then with two "pops", they hit the other two, and at this time they were rushing towards them quickly!
Of these two lightning bolts, Xu Kai hit not fan-shaped lightning, so the energy was very concentrated.
Therefore, a powerful electric current instantly hit the bodies of the two zombies, and then went straight to the head.
In the end, it also penetrated the zombie's brain and blew up the zombie's brain.
At this time, everyone could even see green smoke coming out of the heads of these two zombies.
Naturally, he died immediately, and he couldn't die again.
In addition, at this time, even Jiang Wenxi had already used her fire-based ability to attack.
Ordinary fire attacks, used to deal with zombies, are not a good way.
Especially when the zombie hordes are charging.
Because zombies don't feel pain, as long as their vital parts haven't been burned, they can continue to move.
And if you want to use flames to burn the vital parts of zombies, it will take a lot of time.
At least that's enough time for the zombies to rush at you with flames, and then set yourself on fire!
So against zombies, flames are not easy to use.
However, the fire ability, Chen Ran's ice ability, and Xu Kai's thunder ability are the strongest attack power among the nine abilities.
Naturally, there are ways to kill zombies with one hit.
Now Jiang Wenxi, under Chen Ran's guidance, has learned how to use fire-based abilities to deal with zombies.
That's the Fireball Bomb!
I saw Jiang Wenxi at this time, after seeing that Chen Ran and Xu Kai had already launched abnormal attacks.
She also mobilized her abilities.
And soon, two round fireballs had appeared in her hands.
And unlike ordinary flame balls, these two fireballs are more like two ultra-high temperature charcoals, and the energy inside them is hidden.
But after hitting the target, it can explode in an instant.
It's as powerful as a small grenade.
The zombies that are hit can also be blown off half of their bodies in an instant, and it is basically useless if they don't die.
So with just one attack by Chen Ran, Xu Kai and Jiang Wenxi, the three of them have successfully killed 5 zombies and trapped 3 zombies.
The remaining 20 or so zombies, although they are still charging, are not as strong as before.
On the other hand, on Chen Ran's side, two combat squads, a special operations team, and more than 50 troops were still intact.
Now they are even more confident, waiting for the battle, waiting for the zombies to come to the door to die.
So immediately afterwards, the two sides made official contacts.
The first to strike was the 28 pikemen on the human side!
After this time of training, they have learned how to use spears proficiently.
As the zombies rushed in front of them, 28 pikemen fired their guns in unison.
Marksmanship is strong and decisive.
"Puff, puff, puff......"
The sound of spears successfully piercing into the corpses of the dead came and went.
