Chapter 397: Accelerating the Attack
The team stopped again, there was no way, the ammunition was almost used again, and they had to wait for supplies.
The closer to the imperial capital, the greater the density of zombies, and the faster the consumption of the elixir, this time it used the amount of ammunition in the previous day in half a day.
The team was repaired, and Lu Tian drank tea when he was fine, and discussed the organization with Tian Lao.
On a green meadow, a row of tents was set up, and Lu Tian and the two of them were inside, leaning on simple chairs and drinking tea leisurely.
"Lu Shao, now the zombie crystal nucleus below level 6 is basically useless to me, so I can only go to find heaven and earth treasures."
Tian Lao sighed, if he didn't have the elixir given by Lu Tian during this time, his cultivation would have stagnated.
"This is inevitable, if the realm is too different, the effect on cultivation will be minimal, otherwise you can become a master by absorbing low-level crystal nuclei, and then cultivation will not be so difficult!"
Lu Tian didn't care very much, he couldn't cultivate martial arts anyway, and he didn't rely on the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi very much, so he hadn't used the crystal nucleus at all.
And usually he directly lets Xiao Qi absorb and store it, and he now has 1000 orange energy points, so he is finally not so poor.
Tian Lao was silent for a long time, and then spoke with anticipation: "Lu Shao, do we need to rebuild the Immortal Feather Gate and recruit disciples?" ”
Lu Tian's complexion changed, and rebuilding the Immortal Feather Gate was the mission of the previous Feather Lords, and he naturally thought about it.
"It's not right now, the situation is not stable, and we are not strong enough!"
Tian Lao sighed: "The master had no choice but to establish [Yu], and the senior brother also wanted to restore the sect all his life, but he never had the opportunity. ”
"Don't worry, now we have a lot of conditions that are enough, just a few masters who can deter foreign enemies, and when I break through to the realm of Guiyuan, this matter can be brought to the table."
There are only a few remnants of the Immortal Feather Sect, if there is no strong strength, how can they support a sect?
Tian Lao still wanted to say, but the communicator suddenly vibrate, it was the news of the dragon.
After looking at it, the research results of the mother zombie have come out, which is not good news.
According to research, this is a special kind of zombie, which is indeed similar to the queen ant in the ants, but the status is not the highest among zombies.
This kind of zombie is more special than ordinary zombies, it can eat stones, plants and trees, it is no longer limited to flesh and blood, and its strong digestion ability allows it to absorb all useful substances. In addition, it has no extra organs in its body, and seems to exist for reproduction.
At the same time, this mother is asexual reproduction, containing a variety of individual genes, can produce up to 100 zombies per day, if the food is not enough, the number will decline or even stop breeding. If you fall into an unfavorable environment, you can even go to sleep.
The zombies it breeds are better than ordinary zombies, and if there is enough food, they will grow quickly.
And according to speculation, this is only the preliminary state of the mother, and there may be different classes, or different types of zombies may be produced.
Of course, the zombies it produces can no longer be called zombies in the strict sense, and they are already an independent race.
"It's really troublesome now, the mother body is generally hidden underground, it's not easy to kill!"
Lu Tian's tone was heavy, and anyone who knew would secretly scream badly.
"Zombies are getting better and better, and there were still shortcomings that couldn't reproduce before, but I didn't expect it to be made up for so quickly!" Lin Lao touched his white beard and had a complicated mood.
Tian Lao looked in the direction of the imperial capital, "We have to attack quickly, otherwise after a long time, the number of zombies here will not know how much to increase, and it is estimated that even if there are modern weapons, it will not be able to take them down at that time." ”
"Indeed, this mother reproduces fast, and the number is unknown, and it is estimated that there are still a lot of them in the imperial capital."
Lu Tian agreed, human beings still have too little understanding of zombies, and they don't know how much has changed in the zombie group.
He said softly, "Wait for the order, most of the time you have to increase the attack." ”
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the ammunition was delivered, and this time it was not repaired, and while it was not dark, the attack lasted another four hours, advancing the front by one kilometer.
At night, the transport plane did not stop working, and the logistics department was running at full capacity, delivering a large amount of materials in advance.
The next day, the General Headquarters issued an urgent order that the imperial capital must be taken within a week, with only an hour at noon and time at night every day for repairs.
The military headquarters has taken out all the ammunition, except for nuclear bombs, and even some weapons that have been eliminated, so that each war group will basically not lack weapons.
In this way, each soldier has at least two rifles, dozens of grenades every day, and the bombers in the sky have not stopped, blowing up many houses.
There was smoke and flames as far as the eye could see, and the soil under the ground had been turned over, and wherever there were zombies, they were basically greeted by bombs.
The number of deaths of the warriors has risen rapidly, as if they are exchanging lives for lives, and everywhere there is a battle between them, there are mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, most of them are zombies, and the rest are human.
In three days, the number of soldiers killed reached 100,000, and the number of zombies died exceeded 3 million, most of whom were killed by bombs.
Lu Tian also had a lot of zombies dead on his hands, all of them were mutated zombies, and the casualties of the war group he protected were the smallest, less than ten people had died so far.
However, under such a frantic battle, the battle line quickly advanced a hundred kilometers, and now it has reached the fifth ring of the former imperial capital, and the battle groups are much closer to each other, which can be regarded as completely surrounding the imperial capital.
"There are so many zombies that have died, but there are very few above the third level, won't they all stay behind?"
Lu Tian was very puzzled in his heart, in the battles of the past few days, there was basically no existence above the third level, which was very abnormal!
In the war with zombies in the past few days, there are more than three million zombies that have died, and there are definitely three levels before them, and there should be a lot of them. According to the normal ratio, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands, but the actual number encountered is less than 1,000.
"Shenlong's side should be investigating, so I won't care about it."
Although he thought so, he immediately remembered the matter of the mother.
If the zombies transformed by humans are considered the first generation, then the mother's reproduction is considered the second generation.
And judging from their findings, the second generation is on average better than the first generation.
He secretly guessed that the people who had been fighting them recently were the garbage that had been abandoned by the zombie higher-ups. And those above level 3 are considered elites in the zombie group, so they are deliberately stayed.
"We're working so hard, can't we be helping zombies clean up the garbage?"
His back suddenly felt a little cold, and he couldn't accept this speculation.
"But this is the only choice for human beings, if you don't consume some zombies now, it will be even more difficult in the future."
"I don't want to, let's go and see what's going on!"
Lu Tian quickly flew into the sky and headed towards the city.
It was the second half of the night, and the soldiers were so tired that most of them were asleep.
But after a period of isolation, the zombies are still wandering, swaying on the ground, and not making a sound, which looks quite weird.
"Huh?"
He flew hundreds of meters and saw something wrong, "Why aren't there many zombies here?" ”
There are 20 million zombies in the imperial capital, and there must be more distributed in these five rings, and the difference between this density and the outside is not very big.
"It's not going to be hiding somewhere, is it?"
Worried about what the zombies were doing, Lu Tian's flight altitude dropped to 100 meters, and his mental power probed the underground situation from time to time.
There are also zombies underground, because there are many types of zombies that evolve, I don't know if they have great strength, speed blocks, hard shells, and explosions, as well as types that can dig the ground, fly, breed, and lead.
In the past three days, he has encountered zombies flying over with wings, and this threat is not big, after all, even if it flies in the sky, it is still a target, and it will explode in a few shots.
On the contrary, the zombies digging in the ground are very dangerous, after all, they can't be seen underground, and they suddenly appeared during the battle, and they brought explosive zombies, which really killed a lot of soldiers.
Lu Tian has mental vigilance, and the wargroup he protects is okay, he can kill the zombies before they break the ground, and he doesn't cause many casualties.
And many other war groups, but they suffered from the zombies digging the ground, and the casualties were not small.
Therefore, there are many holes made by zombies digging in the ground, and other zombies will also run into them to hide them.
Just yesterday, the Southern and Eastern Theaters were attacked like this, under the command of intelligent mutant zombies, tens of thousands of zombies hid in the holes dug by the realization, and suddenly jumped out when the army walked by, causing huge casualties to humans.
In fact, he would come to explore the road every night, just to prevent fraud ahead, because of his existence, there was no accident in the entire Northwest Theater.
As for the north and west, they were protected by the people of the Divine Dragon and the Sword Pavilion, and nothing happened to them, and they were the most well-preserved.
Lu Tian flew for more than ten miles, but he didn't find any major problems, and he didn't dare to go deeper for fear of encountering high-level zombies, so he turned back.
He didn't disappear for long, and several figures appeared in the last place where he stayed, and their pupils were all different colors, and they were all high-level zombies.
"It's this human again!"
"They come and check once a night, and we can't set a trap."
"Why don't you kill this human?"
Several shadows all spoke like humans, and the subjects turned out to be Lu Tian.
"You don't know the situation~"
The first shadow spoke, and the others immediately fell silent.
"According to the news from the spies inserted into the human race by our clan, this human is called Lu Tian, and it is not so simple."
"You know the Zombie King, right?"
Several of the shadows nodded.
The leader continued: "That is equivalent to the existence of the South King of my clan, comparable to the level 9 powerhouse in the human race, but I haven't killed this person several times!" ”
"Do you think you can kill him on your own?"
Several of the other shadows shook their heads.
"There must be a treasure in this human being who escaped, and we can't kill him, and it will expose our existence if we do it, which is not interesting at all."
"Several of you have just broken through level 7, you don't know this, it is estimated that there are many things that are not clear, you can ask any questions in the past two days."
Hearing the words of the head shadow, a shadow spoke: "King, the human race is attacking the imperial capital, and we only let some low-level clansmen defend it, it seems that we don't want the imperial capital, but the territory here is so big, why give up?" ”
"If you ask this question well, and to be able to perceive this, it means that your wisdom is no less than that of a genius among human beings."
A word of praise for the first shadow, his eyes are full of depth.
