Chapter 42: Hold on
The tide of corpses was approaching, Wen Linyao sorted out his team, walked quickly to Lin Hao and the other three platoon commanders, glanced at a few people coldly, waved his hand and ordered: "Take your respective teams to the front of the evil lord of the other world!"
Why? Lin Hao looked directly at Wen Linyao, his voice was sonorous, and he asked rhetorically.
Wen Linyao glanced at Lin Hao with disdain, raised his eyebrows, and reprimanded sharply: "Wang Yifeng is dead, I am in charge here, where is your turn to interject a little platoon leader!"
Hearing this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Hao's mouth, and he shot back fearlessly: "I am also a major, and before Company Commander Wang died, he instructed me to command the fourth company with full authority, don't believe you ask the other platoon commanders!"
Hearing this, Wen Linyao's face turned pale, and then he looked at the other platoon commanders in front of him, and saw that they all had resolute faces, and Lin Hao's military rank was indeed major, which was the same level as him. At that moment, he didn't dare to come hard, so he sighed indignantly, turned around and walked away.
Seeing that a crisis was finally resolved, the three platoon commanders cast grateful glances at Lin Hao, you know, if it weren't for Lin Hao's arguments, the fourth company would probably be used as a death squad or cannon fodder by Wen Linyao, and now, the two companies are each responsible for half of the defense of the bridge deck, and no one wants to take advantage of anyone.
Lin Hao was not modest when he saw this, since he had already released a bold statement that he was the commander-in-chief of the fourth company, at that moment, he began to command the team to deploy in an orderly manner. At the same time, several platoon commanders were not convinced, after all, they were all captains, and they should also serve Lin Hao's leadership from the military rank, and at this moment, only Lin Hao's second platoon in the entire company still had ammunition, and they were the main force in the main force, and they should obey Lin Hao in terms of strength. Thinking about this, the three platoon commanders did not reject Lin Hao's instructions in the slightest, and obediently deployed their defenses step by step, with serious and meticulous expressions.
At 2:5 a.m., the first wave of black and crushed corpses poured towards the bridge, and the bridge deck in front was wet, which had been sprinkled with fire oil by Lin Hao in advance, and at the same time, all the soldiers in the second platoon held guns with solemn faces, ready to concentrate fire at any time.
Roar! With a terrible and piercing roar of the zombies, the battle was about to break out, and the dense firepower network was like a poisonous snake spitting letters, beating the zombies rushing in the front row into a sieve alive, at the same time, Lin Hao saw that the time had come, took out a lighter and threw it on the fire oil, igniting a raging flame. In order to save bullets, the second row only shot at the zombies who rushed out of the flames, and occasionally a few ghost corpses and spirit corpses were also visible under the focused gaze of the rest of the knife-wielding soldiers, and were besieged to death by several squads of organized soldiers. The good cooperation made that in the face of the first wave of corpses, there was no casualty in the four companies, and Wen Linyao on the opposite side was unfortunately entangled by several ghost corpses that rushed out of the fire, with more than a dozen casualties, and a large area of bloody corpses was also vacant in the middle of the team.
But the short-term victory did not make Lin Hao feel much comfort, looking at his watch, it was only 2:20 at the moment, and there were still forty minutes, he didn't have many bullets on hand, and the oil was all gone, and the next wave of corpses could only rely on hand-to-hand combat.
As expected, a few minutes later, another wave of corpses smelled the thick bloody roar coming from the bridge deck, and the infinite desire for ** had already made them extremely crazy, their faces were hideous, and the corners of their mouths twitched. But this time there was no fire oil on the bridge deck, because of the lack of bullets, the firepower also appeared very weak, for a while, more than 100 soldiers flashed white bayonets, fiercely killed the rush of corpses, slashing, the action is familiar, the knife is deadly.
Lin Hao was also red-eyed at this moment, holding a gun in one hand and a knife in the other, killing left and right, so unhappy, his cheeks, ears and nose were also covered with scarlet hot flashes of blood, and he couldn't tell which ones were zombies and which ones were his own soldiers, but he felt that time seemed to freeze at this moment, leaving only infinite killing.
Bang! Long Yu suddenly flashed a cold light in the corner of his eyes, and swung his gun towards Lin Hao's head.
Lin Hao looked at the rotation of the bullet, his mood was cold, did he recognize the wrong person, Long Yu was so despicable, just when he was in despair, the fishy smell suddenly entered his nose, the blood was scattered in his hair like a waterfall, his body was smashed by a heavy object, he looked down, only to find that it was a ghost corpse who didn't know when, just now I am afraid that it was hanging in the air and ready to devour himself, fortunately, Long Yu found it in time and saved his life, thinking about this, Lin Hao couldn't help but glance at Long Yu who was still fighting desperately through gratitude.
The form became more and more critical, at first Lin Hao could still hear the shouts of the soldiers around him, slowly, the whole world seemed to be alone, and the surroundings were all filled with zombies with low roars, forcing him to only roar and be brave, swinging knives and dancing, different blood was also gushing and wrapping around his body like mud, in addition to the remnants of rational consciousness, I am afraid that he has become a zombie at this moment.
Time solidifies in the blood, although the corpse tide is huge, but under the desperate resistance of Wen Linyao and Lin Hao's two teams, more than three hundred people, they finally resisted the most difficult period, and slowly, the number of zombies passed the peak, and the soldiers were either in groups of five or three people, using the formation and the imbecile of the zombies to launch a counterattack, making full use of the scout's fighting and killing skills, and mixing the situation back little by little Mortal Immortal Cultivators.
Platoon commander, here we come! Long Yu saw that Lin Hao was surrounded by zombies, and he could be bitten by sudden mutant zombies at any time. At that moment, he quickly took a squad of soldiers to support Lin Hao, rushed to kill, stabilized the situation, elbowed and kicked sideways, plus a knife to accurately stab, firmly protecting Lin Hao inside, while the outer layer was piled up with stacks of rotting zombie corpses.
After a long twenty minutes, this wave of corpses was finally wiped out, the entire bridge deck was dyed with blood, the zombie corpses were stacked into a hill, and the living soldiers also collected the bodies of the dead soldiers with sad faces. After this battle, there were only more than 60 people left in the original team of only more than 100 people, and the establishment of one platoon means that the soldiers of the remaining three platoons were all sacrificed in fleeing and defending the bridge, and the sacrifice rate of nearly one-fifth was outrageous.
At 2:40, Lin Hao knew that since Li Feipeng said that the engineer camp would arrive at three o'clock, he would never be one minute earlier or one minute late. But after twenty minutes, turning his head to look at the soldiers covered in blood and lost their souls, Lin Hao didn't know how to persevere.
There's something I'd like to discuss with you? Wen Linyao walked in front of Lin Hao at some point, his voice was low, revealing a little sadness.
Lin Hao had been hostile to Wen Linyao since the incident just now, so he asked coldly angrily, "What's the matter?"
Wen Linyao didn't care about Lin Hao's attitude, and said to himself: "The order above is for us to hold on until three o'clock, but you look at the current situation, we can't stop the next wave of corpses no matter what." Speaking of this, Wen Linyao sighed, turned his head to look at the blood-soaked river, and his expression was stunned.
Now there is only one way to hold out until three o'clock, you have seen the map, there is a trail not far from the second bridge, we just need to send a death squad to seduce the zombies there before they arrive, in this way, although we can't seduce all the zombies away, but at least the pressure on the bridge will be much less, and we have a chance of surviving!
Lin Hao listened to these words with a slightly surprised expression, and knew in his heart that this was the only way to save the entire team now, who could be sent to carry out this mortal mission, for a while, it seemed that anyone could die, but it seemed that everyone had the right to live, making it difficult to choose.
Wen Linyao saw Lin Hao's entanglement, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up, when the next wave of corpses comes, everyone will die together!"
I know! After finishing speaking, Lin Hao turned his head back to the team, glanced at everyone, and told everyone Wen Linyao's idea, and for a while, more than sixty people were silent, looking down at the ground, and did not say a word.
Let's draw lots, whoever catches them will go! As he spoke, Lin Hao took out the map from his backpack, tore it into many pieces, smeared it irregularly with his bloodstained hands, and wrapped it into a ball.
After arranging it, Lin Hao left the paper ball on the ground and said in a low voice: "Whoever draws the blood in it will go!" After speaking, Lin Hao bowed down without fear and took out a piece of paper from the messy paper ball, and then everyone no longer had any doubts and pulled out the paper ball one after another.
White! This is the color inside the paper after Lin Hao opened it, which means that he is safe, in fact, long before he smoked, Lin Hao did not have the slightest fear, after all, he had seen too much life and death, and he was already much less optimistic about his own life. Alive, with its own providence, and dead, without pity.
Time passed slowly, and the results all came out, and there were twenty people who would go to attract zombies, and those who didn't draw were naturally ecstatic, and those who were drawn were calm, some were pale, and some were even more people, crying with low heads, attracting contempt from all around.
Okay, let's go to the bridgehead with all the people who draw out, and Company Commander Wen Linyao will give you a map! After finishing speaking, Lin Hao turned around, he was afraid, afraid to see those vivid faces, afraid that in an instant, maybe they would become their enemies in the next moment, and become zombie faces with hideous corners of their mouths.
Being a soldier in the last days, he naturally has a little courage, and providence, there is no regret in his heart, at the moment, he hugged his former good brothers, and he turned around and ran to the front without saying a word. There, the twenty soldiers selected by Wen Linyao had already arrived.
Lin Hao! Lin Hao! I don't want to go, you help me! Wu Hao was killed, and he drew a bloody paper ball, and at that moment, his face was full of tears, and he knelt in front of Lin Hao's legs, and wailed The full text of the official journey was read.
Lin Hao looked at Wu Hao's crying and crying appearance, frowned slightly, and shouted: "Wu Hao, if you are a man, stand up for me and walk over in a dignified manner, otherwise don't blame me for military law!"
Lin Hao, I beg you, I don't want to die! Wu Hao didn't seem to hear Lin Hao's warning, still holding his trouser leg and crying loudly.
Pull me away! Lin Hao kicked Wu Hao away and ordered. But the heart is indifferent, indifferent, like being stabbed by a stabbing blade, and it is full of heartache. But there is no way, the rules he set, to put it bluntly, even if he draws it, he has to be sent to death, and it is impossible to destroy his prestige in the entire team for the sake of Wu Hao.
The surrounding soldiers had long been impatient with Wu Hao's crying, and seeing Lin Hao's order, he pulled Wu Hao into the death squad with three strikes and five divisions.
Let's go, brethren! Long Yu came to the twenty daredevils, said goodbye in a low voice, and infinite sadness appeared between his eyebrows.
Brother Long, it's okay, it's just our bad luck! A strong second lieutenant said with a relaxed wave. The grin on the corner of his mouth didn't seem to be going to die, but to a wedding feast.
Go ahead! Long Yu waved his hand.
At this moment, a young non-commissioned officer suddenly stood up and asked in a hoarse voice: "Brother Long, can you promise me to bury my dead brother in the soil!" When he said the word Tuli, his tone was particularly heavy.
Long Yu, who had already turned his head, heard this, only to feel the tip of his nose astringent, and turned his back to respond: "I promise you!"
Seeing this, everyone had no regrets, and finally glanced at the familiar faces of their brothers, turned around and walked to the bridge, as for Wu Hao, who was crying, he was directly covered by several of the soldiers and walked away.
At 2:50, the corpse tide did not appear as scheduled, only sporadic young people and zombies attacked, and they were instantly slashed by soldiers with knives. And the fewer zombies come, the more it reminds people of the lives and blood paid by the death squads, and God knows how many zombies they attracted. The seemingly easy defense made many soldiers feel a little pain in their chests, but they hoped that there would be more zombies and that the brother on the other side would suffer less.
At 2:58, there was a roar of cars in the distance, and there was no need to ask, the engineer battalion came. Immediately, everyone swept the bridge and helped the injured brother up, while the dead brother was on his back, and Long Yu was no exception, carrying a brother with blurred flesh and blood, his eyes were red, and the hoarse words of the young non-commissioned officer seemed to appear in his ears.
Finish them off, they won't be cured even if they are sent to headquarters! Lin Hao turned his head to look at the dozen or so dying soldiers who had been bitten by zombies, and spoke.
Hearing this, no one spoke, and he froze in place, looking at his brother who had accompanied him day and night, but he couldn't get that hand.
Six cars from the engineer battalion had arrived, and more than 30 sappers, carrying toolboxes on their backs, quickly planted high-explosive bombs on the bridge deck, and the four empty vehicles behind them were apparently specially prepared for the surviving soldiers.
Lin Hao knew that the next wave of corpses was coming soon, and as a chief, he had the responsibility to be responsible for the living. The surviving soldier must not be allowed to carry a corpse that could turn into a zombie at any moment. At that moment, with a solemn expression, he picked up his pistol and aimed it at a soldier beside him who was bitten and bruised, bang! Killed by one shot. He clearly knows that the corpse transformation time is very short, especially the reconnaissance soldier system is so good, it is even more difficult to become a zombie, and death is the greatest relief for them at this time.
If you want to wait for them to turn into zombies before you do it, feel free! Leaving this sentence behind, Lin Hao carried the corpse of the soldier he had killed on his back and walked towards the car.
The rest of the soldiers stared blankly at this bloody and cruel scene, and then looked down at the body of the injured soldier whose face had turned purple and blue in his arms, faintly with corpse spots, and knew that the platoon commander was right. Immediately, biting his lip and closing his eyes, there were bullets for his brother to finish the last, and those without bullets slashed through his brother's neck with a knife, but it seemed that all the pain was fed back to them in an instant, and their hearts were all bearing great pain.
And Lin Hao, who was sitting in the car, heard all kinds of miserable pain and crying behind him, his eyes looked at the lonely autumn scenery in the distance, but there was a calm surge in his heart, as if he had no desire or desire, and it seemed like the dead silence of the deep sea, as if this moment was so familiar.
