Chapter 38: Rush Hour
(Cat flutter Chinese) "The zombies have appeared!"
The signal soldier shouted at the camp gate with a trill, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. Even those survivors who were prepared in their hearts were so frightened that their feet shook when the zombie horde really appeared in sight.
Lao Liang bore the brunt of the improvised lookout tower. He took the telescope from the communications soldier and looked out into the snow and dust in the distance. When he saw the dense zombie phalanx, the telescope almost slipped out of his trembling hands.
A group of zombies with terrifying faces walked side by side. Even leg-high snow can't slow them down. They are like packs of jackals, running and pounced on their prey as if they were hunting in the snow.
The low roar of the zombies gradually came from the calm valley. The sound rolled in like the dull thunder of the sky. Let the people who hear it chill their hearts.
Especially the crushed mid-level destroyer in the zombie horde, his arms and feet paddling forward in the snow. The loud sound of throwing the ground echoed through the forest like the drums of death.
In front of the right wing of the zombie herd are two quick slashers, which jump instead of running. After some distance from the big team, he stopped and waited, as if he had been trained, and knew how to work as a team.
Just a group of more than 100 zombies is enough to shock the human spirit.
"Quick! Get all the survivors outside the camp out of the trenches! Lao Liang came back to his senses and remembered that there were still more than 20 survivors who had not returned to the camp.
From the initial announcement of the zombie attack to the arrival of the zombie group at the camp, only more than 40 minutes have passed. Snow has little to no effect on the zombies' advance speed. They arrived a full hour early. This definitely caught Lao Liang off guard!
In the leg-high snow, the 9-kilometer mountain road only took more than 40 minutes to arrive, what a terrifying moving force. Thinking of this, Lao Liang understood in his heart that if the camp was lost, then there would not be a living mouth here. You must know that the speed of humans in the snow is simply incomparable to that of zombies.
The survivors working outside were even more panicked, and only 150 meters from the barn to the entrance of the camp, those survivors ran for nearly 40 seconds. But at this time, the zombie horde almost advanced into the camp's firepower network.
Seeing that the situation had reached a precarious point, Lao Liang did not have the slightest scruple that the two survivors did not escape from the fire net, so he ordered to shoot.
The gunfire rang out at the same time, and the three machine guns spewed tongues of fire, and the sound of the gunfire and the echo of the valley shook the ears of the people.
The whistling bullets directly killed the last 2 survivors by mistake, and then shot into the zombie horde.
"Ugh!" The shattered mid-level destroyer howled, and under the control of the controller, it crossed its arms in front of it. Like a wall, it protects the zombies behind it.
The bullet that dragged the golden-red trajectory struck its hard skin, and was actually slipped away. The naked eye can see as the bullets deflect and shoot into the sky or snow......
Lao Liang is a commander who can grasp the situation of battle, and every second on the battlefield is a measure of victory and defeat. He immediately gave up the attack on the behemoth of the Intermediate Destroyer, and instructed the fire to focus on those ordinary zombies.
The spitting tongue of fire sent out a chain of bullets with almost no gaps, and when the zombie group advanced to the front of the camp, more than 20 ordinary zombies were eliminated.
Even if these zombies didn't kill with a single hit, they were incapacitated by sweeping off their bodies.
Watching the zombies fall like wheat was undoubtedly boosting the fighting spirit of the survivors.
"Victory is in sight!" Lao Liang's timely encouragement infected the survivors who were shrinking at first, and gradually made them actively participate in the battle.
The zombie group, which was at a disadvantage because of the combat distance, actually dispersed from the original dense phalanx into an invisible sand formation. This makes it more expensive for humans to consume 7. 00mm bullets to deal blow damage to the zombie horde.
The sudden change made Lao Liang panic all of a sudden. He didn't expect that zombies would know how to avoid firepower points as if they had thoughts.
Not only him, but also the soldiers who operated the machine guns were stunned. They even stopped strafing, knowing that the ammunition in their hands could not support them to carry out a fire strike within 20 meters of the lateral front.
After only a few seconds of hesitation, the zombie horde advanced to 65 meters in front of the camp.
The pressure is instantaneous!
"Machine gun stop! Pistol shooting! Lao Liang also knows the amount of ammunition, and he plans to transfer the remaining 7. 00mm machine gun bullets are used in the second line of defense, because there is a man-made narrow passage inside the camp, and it is impossible for the zombie hordes to launch a flat push attack there.
When the camp defense relied only on pistols, the power of the pouring fire turned sharply, and it could not stop the sharp attack of the zombie horde. Even when the corpses were pushed to 35 meters of the camp, only a few zombies were killed.
Many of the survivors were mentally unable to bear the oppression of death and fled into the camp.
This led to a direct breakdown of the fire.
Several trenches, which were originally planned to be placed 100 meters in front of the camp, were only dug for about 35 meters due to lack of time. But it also made a big difference!
After many zombies fell into it, it affected the advancement of the zombies in the rear. Their speed slowed down in a moment.
Lao Liang hurriedly ordered the machine gunner to restart the fire network, kill those fixed targets as much as possible, and kill as many of them as possible while increasing the ammunition utilization rate, so that on the second line of defense, there would be less pressure.
The trench is deadly to ordinary zombies. But in front of mid-level zombies and xenomorph zombies, it is nothing.
In the originally chaotic group of zombies, an elite team composed of mid-level zombies quickly rushed out. When there was no such burden as ordinary zombies in front of them, they rushed to the front of the camp at a terrifying speed!
It is unimaginable that the 35-meter defensive distance is only broken between lightning and flint!
The machine gunners pulled the point of fire from the trench to the front of the camp, not even daring to save ammunition any longer. Kill as many mid-level zombies as you can that directly threaten their survival.
While the people were putting up their most stubborn resistance, an abandoned sedan whistled and swirled against the machine gunners on the heights.
The two soldiers didn't even have time to look up to see what was flying towards them, and they died tragically under the two-ton wreckage.
The cracked metal plates of the car's body directly smashed the corpse into several pieces. Shattered glass shards, mixed with flesh and organs, constituted an unsightly filth.
This scene became the last straw that broke the nerves of the survivors.
The crowd poured into the camp like crazy, and all the defenses collapsed in an instant!
Lao Liang called in vain, but no one responded. He watched in despair as the corpses forced to the present, losing his fighting spirit.
Suddenly, he saw the shattered mid-level destroyer grabbing the abandoned vehicle in front of the camp. Understand that it is this terrible zombie who destroys the camp under its guardianship with a brutal iron fist!
He roared, rushed to the defeated and deserted machine-gun position, and alone raised the Red Sun light machine gun. Bloodshot eyes stared at the behemoth, then pulled the trigger to the bottom.
Bullets filled with vengeful rage almost fell on the Destroyer. But 7. A 00mm bullet could not penetrate its flesh and blood at all, affecting its movements.
As the machine gun continued to raise its head due to the recoil, the chain of bullets swept from the Destroyer's belly to its head, several of which were fired directly into its brain through its left eye.
"Ugh!" The Destroyer's body shuddered, and the vehicle that had just been lifted above his head slipped from its claws, smashing his left leg.
When Lao Liang found that the attack actually had an effect, he calmed down. Rapid burst fire from a machine gun at its head.
The Destroyer flails its arms in pain in an attempt to block the bullet, but the head is battered and it is no longer able to be controlled by the Controller's synchronized and coordinated defense, achieving the perfect defense with its arms crossed.
Just when the hope of killing the Destroyer was imminent, the Stone Body stood in its way.
Sharp bullets slammed into its body, sending smoke and dust up from it. When it loses its impact, it falls to the ground like a drizzle.
It's truly invulnerable!
This series of changes has shredded his perception of zombies. If the gun in his hand loses the ability to kill zombies, then what else can he use to protect the inch of land under his feet.
The zombie horde roared and rushed in front of Lao Liang, and just as he was about to give up his life, a mechanical palm grabbed his collar. dragged him into the camp.
He looked back at the slightly familiar man and listened to the sound of the pistol. Recovered from the numbness of despair. The battle isn't over yet! Maybe it's just getting started!
The survivors and soldiers in the second line of defense have no way out, and they must use the artificial narrow passage to make a final resistance!
