Chapter 7: Zombie Siege
A cold light flashed, and the corpse of a headless zombie slowly fell, and Li Ang shook the long knife in his hand and continued to kill the next zombie.
Li Ang has been in Gusu Base City for 20 days, and during this time, Li Ang often follows Captain Zhang and them out to clean up the zombies and collect supplies, but outside, Li Ang usually acts alone, and at first he can occasionally meet survivors, but recently there has been no news of survivors for several days.
Li Ang did not join the army, so he did not have the equipment of the army, with the help of Captain Zhang, he created a long knife, similar to the Tang knife, but it is longer and wider than the Tang knife, the weight is greater, and the strength of the chopping is naturally greater.
Li Ang swept away, and the three zombies fell down in response, but he didn't seem to notice that a zombie behind him staggered to his feet, opened his bloody mouth and bit towards Li Ang, only to see a golden figure pass by quickly, easily knocking down the zombie, and biting off the zombie's neck with a click.
It turned out to be Xiao Huang, the little golden retriever that Li Ang brought back by the lake, and named Xiao Huang. Xiao Huang has grown very fast, and now he is the size of an adult Alaska, and the hair on his four claws and back has a tendency to turn towards fiery red, and when he grows up, he should have the same ability as his mother, or even stronger, after all, Li Ang usually feeds Xiao Huang with his own buns.
Li Ang tried to give his buns to others to eat, and it was also effective, but he could only eat one a day, and he couldn't swallow it anymore, even if he swallowed it forcibly, it would be extremely nauseous, and then spit it out. Xiao Huang can eat 6 a day, the same as Li Ang.
After 20 days of fighting, Li Ang encountered a zombie with a speed mutation twice and made it into a mutated mutton bun, and the huge zombie on the 11th floor of Jin Mao Tower also encountered it once, and it also became a mutant wild boar bun. In addition, I have encountered zombies that can breathe fire and discharge, and can control water, and fought several times, turning them into mutated spicy tofu buns, mutated braised eel buns, and mutated crystal shrimp buns.
Zombies are also evolving, ordinary zombies' physique, strength, speed and other aspects have been strengthened in addition to intelligence, but the amplitude is not very large, and there are some mutant zombies, speed enhancement, physique enhancement mutant zombies will be a little more, and there are fewer other fire and water control. Is there any other strange ability, I think there should be, but Li Ang hasn't encountered it yet.
Li Ang and Xiao Huang walked in the dilapidated city alone, the high-rise buildings are still standing, but the former prosperity can no longer see the slightest trace, the cement asphalt road has cracked, and the grass is swaying with the wind, showing the tenacity of life. The trees on both sides of the road have grown into towering trees in a short period of time, and the greening rate of the city has been unprecedentedly improved.
"It's strange, where are the zombies? Has anyone cleaned up this area? Li Ang was talking to himself as he walked.
Now Li Ang's location is between the second and third rings of Gusu City in the past, there are many communities here, and there should be zombies everywhere, but Li Ang has basically not encountered many zombies along the way, and there are no traces of fighting, which is also strange.
After walking a little further, I faintly heard the roar of zombies, and it seemed that there were many of them together. Li Ang took Xiao Huang and quietly touched over, only to see a large group of zombies slowly marching towards the north.
Leon followed all the way, and the further he went, the more zombies there were, and they kept gathering from all directions, all heading north. Leon stood on the roof of the building, and at a glance, there was an endless stream of zombies walking forward on every road.
Zombies have no intelligence, only bloodthirsty instincts, which has been proven many times, even for mutated zombies. Someone or something else is gathering zombies.
I don't know what the purpose of the corpse tide is, if you go out of the city and change direction to the northeast, it will be troublesome, and the base city is in that direction. Perhaps the purpose of the corpse tide was the base city, but the roads in the city were mostly north-south and east-west, so the zombie group went straight to the north.
Li Ang and the others entered the city from the east when they came, and made an appointment to turn at an intersection in the East Third Ring Road at three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Ang looked at the time, there was still half an hour, so he simply stopped following the corpse tide, went to meet Captain Zhang and them, and told them about the corpse tide.
Everyone gathered and prepared to go back, today's harvest is average, with the passage of time, the materials that can be found are getting less and less, Li Ang found Captain Zhang for the first time and said about the corpse tide, Captain Zhang's main task is to collect materials, no Li Ang went deeper, but did not encounter the corpse tide.
Hearing what Li Ang said about the corpse tide, Captain Zhang's face was solemn: "Let's go, go back and report to the chief!" ”
Traveling all the way back to the base city, Captain Zhang immediately went to report the corpse tide, and soon, several squads of soldiers set off towards the northeast of Gusu City to investigate.
The rest of the citizens of the base city and the military were also busy, preparing to resist the tide of corpses, working outside the city, clearing the land, and planting food.
All of us are ready to go!
Soon, someone from the reconnaissance team came back to report the situation. Commander Li was patrolling the southern and western city walls at this time, and if the corpse tide attacked the city, these two sides would bear the brunt.
"Report to the chief, the corpse tide is expected to leave Gusu City in 2 hours, and the number of corpse tides detected is not less than 200,000, and there is a trend of increasing. I haven't seen any mutant zombies yet. ”
Commander Li's face was very solemn: "Explore again!" ”
Commander Li looked up in the direction of Gusu City, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the soldiers who went to investigate came back again and reported: "The corpse tide has left Gusu City, turned to the base city, the distance is 10 kilometers, and it is expected to arrive at the base city in 2 hours, the current number is 250,000, and there is no sign of increasing again." There are no mutated zombies. ”
250,000 zombies, 250,000 monsters who are not afraid of pain and death, only have the instinct to kill! The base city army is less than 2,000 people, half of which were expanded after the end of the world. Weapons and ammunition are quite sufficient, there are 4 tanks, there is no air force, there are missiles, but the targeting and launching of missiles not only needs authorization, but also has the support of satellites, and now missiles can only be used as decorations.
Commander Li thought for a while and began to arrange defenses, with 900 people on each of the southwest and 100 on the northeast wall. Bullets, grenades, bazookas, and other weapons are constantly being carried up the walls. There were also young men under the city wall who were ready to be ready, and not far from the city wall, medical tents were also set up.
Everything was ready, and the whole base city was unusually quiet. Li Ang stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, the weather was good tonight, and the moon looked extraordinarily large, like a white jade plate hanging in the air, sprinkling bright moonlight.
In the distance, a dark shadow gradually swayed on the horizon, and the tide of corpses came!
Everyone on the city wall also saw the looming zombies in the distance, and everyone clenched the guns in their hands in unison.
Standing on the right hand side of Li Ang is a very strong tall man, Lei Jun, in his early 30s, shaved inch, with a horizontal face, dark skin, wearing only a military vest, close to one meter nine in height, very oppressive, at this moment his fists clenched, two flames rose, he is a flame ability.
On the right side of Lei Jun is Ling Yun, one meter seven tall, not fat or thin, long and sunny, carrying a huge sniper rifle, which is specially modified, using 12.7mm large-caliber bullets, the power is huge, Ling Yun is also a supernatural person, his ability is visual enhancement, his eyes are like telescopes, and he can even adjust the size within a certain range.
In the past, Wang Yu, a height of about one meter eight, a clean young man, his body looks a little thin, his arms are slightly longer than ordinary people, his fingers are slender, he is very flexible at a glance, his ability is stealth, he can hide his body and is accompanied by a certain speed enhancement, once he attacks, he will be revealed, and the fastest straight-line speed can reach 80 kilometers, which is slower than Li Ang, but he is more flexible, holding two half-meter-long short swords in both hands.
On the left hand side of Li Ang is a big fat man, Zhang Tao, with big shoulders and a round waist, a height of one meter eight, and a weight of 300, he does not look vicious, but has a simple face, his ability is skin strengthening, except for some vital points such as eyes, the whole body is invulnerable.
Xiao Huang obediently squatted at Li Ang's feet.
The Great War is imminent!
