ACT72: Heaven's Mouth (Part I)

Towards dusk, many shadows were slanted on the streets, a huge empty city, half sea, half fire.

The burning city tower is like beacon fire and wolf smoke, and the north wind is howling, accompanied by the sound of gunfire tearing through the silence, showing solemnity.

Ming Junwei's face was flushed, and there was a fierce light flashing in his single eye, and he climbed high and looked into the distance, taking in the chaos of the soldiers and horses on the west side.

"Got in touch?" Ming Junwei took half of the cigarette from his ear and put it in his mouth, lit it with the wind on his back, let the nicotine spin in his lungs, and slowly spit out a green smoke.

"Not yet, it's too far away." Graduate student Xiao Xiong adjusted the intercom signal back and forth, eagerly waiting for the other side to be able to call back, but after fiddling for a long time, there was nothing but the noise of electricity.

"Come closer, then." Ming Junwei rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, buckled the blindfold, and slid down the escalator.

The militia downstairs looked at him expressionlessly, all of them gearing up and eager to try.

"Sissi, how are you doing over there?" Ming Junwei rolled his hands into trumpet flowers and shouted to the top of the small building across the street.

A moment later, Lucy came out from behind the rooftop solar water heater and replied, "No signal!" ”

"You and Yinuo bring people over to attract the walking corpses, don't come into direct contact with those people." Ming Junwei counted the heads, picked seven or eight strong young men, and said: "Xiao Xiong and I went around from the opposite direction, continued to call them, and immediately retreated when there was news." ”

Lu Qian answered, ran down the stairs, and walked towards the west gate with more than 20 people, including Liu Yan.

"What if we can't meet each other when we're driving over there?" The graduate student's face was worried, he took off his glasses and put them in his arms, and said, "And where did they get so many guns in Gao Yang?" ”

"He? He's got a fart gun. Ming Junwei snorted coldly, his teeth creaked, and scolded: "What are you afraid of, those people again." ”

The graduate student was stunned, but suddenly realized, and frowned: "Then we don't have any advantage, the walking corpse is quite troublesome." ”

"If you don't have an advantage, then find a way to create an advantage." The one-eyed hero flicked his cigarette butt with his fingers, facing the cold wind, and sneered: "He thought that if the city gate was demolished, we would be in a mess and let others slaughter it, hmph, I'm afraid he will be disappointed." ”

"Gao Yang is easy to deal with, what about those key people?" The graduate student followed him closely, frowning as he listened to the intermittent gunfire a few blocks away.

"to death." Ming Junwei grinned, waved his hand to signal everyone to follow, took out a string of keys from his pocket, picked and picked one, walked quickly through the green belt overgrown with weeds, and opened an iron gate.

The graduate student looked happy, looked at the door number of the 'fire brigade', suddenly came to his senses, and said excitedly: "Can this big killer still move?" ”

"Yes, how can you mix without leaving some hole cards?" Ming Junwei pushed open the door with a smile, pointed to the red and white parking room inside, and said, "I'm too lazy to run farther away, otherwise a few more engineering vehicles, who would dare to fight us." ”

"Kill chickens with a knife." The graduate student shook his head and dragged a sentence, and rushed to the two fire water trucks with a group of militiamen who could not hide their excitement.

……

Ming Junwei has a big killer on his side, while Lu Qian's side can only rely on two legs to advance, they have no hidden skills, and can only rely on the advantage of numbers to divide the corpses pouring into the city.

Liu Yan has been silently following the team, and Lu Qian and Yinuo did not participate when they stopped to discuss, but just listened quietly, completely following the instructions of the two girls.

The city is crisscrossed by lanes, and although there is less bustling crowds, the building density of second-tier cities is still there. In about 20 minutes, the group arrived safely at an abandoned building, and through the rows of canopy eaves between the lanes, they could already see the billowing smoke on the side of the city tower.

The location of Lu Qian and the others is exactly the intersection, and they can be directly inserted into the main road of the West Gate through the alley diagonally opposite, the walking corpses have been broken for a long time, coupled with the dense sound of the walking corpses here just now, Lu Qian estimated that the direction of the main road should have been messed up, and if he rushed to kill him, he was likely to fall into the corpse group. Yinuo has been trying to call Xiao Wei and Song Yao during this period, but there has been no response on the other end of the intercom, and I don't know what the two of them are busy with. There was still intermittent gunfire behind the street, and the sound was very scattered, making it difficult to tell where the two groups of people were in the crossfire.

"Sister Qian, are we separated or together?" Yinuo gave up the call, trotted into the alley where everyone was hiding, and asked, "The corpses have been completely dispersed, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean up when they are gathered." ”

Lu Qian raised her hand to pull the hair that was scattered on her cheeks behind her ears, frowned and thought about it, and said, "The more this is the case, the more we can't spread it out, Xiao Wei and Yaoyao haven't found it yet, and it will be troublesome to lose a few more." As he spoke, he looked at Liu Yan on the side and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" You've done something similar before, right? ”

"Oh?" Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, originally he didn't plan to express his opinion, after all, it was people's home field, and it was not good to interject and speak, but since Lu Qian took the initiative to ask, Liu Yan didn't have any worries, so he asked: "Do you plan to kill the walking corpses or lure them away?" ”

"It's a bit difficult to kill." Yinuo's little face was flushed, and he couldn't stop fanning the wind with the palm of his hand, and a row of fine beads of sweat appeared on his nose.

"Personally, I think drainage is more troublesome." Liu Yan turned his head and instructed the two guys to go outside the alley to look at the wind, squatted down and picked up a piece of gravel on the ground to draw the location of the roundabout and the current location of the people, and analyzed: "Your base is in the south of the center, and it stands to reason that the walking corpses will not travel over in a large area, but you still have to consider the safety of the perimeter, so the diversion can only go in the northwest direction." In this way, the front is too long in the first place, I don't know if there are any fortifications near the roundabout, if there is, there is no need to spend that effort, anyway, the streets in the city are criss-crossed, you can fight guerrillas, wipe out a wave is a wave, and in the end, you still have to free up your hands and feet to clean up, wouldn't it be more troublesome? ”

Lu Qian and Yinuo glanced at each other and explained: "We have fixed drainage places in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, and the place is relatively open, which can enclose a large number of walking corpses. ”

"Oh?" Liu Yan raised his eyebrows, probably understanding Lu Qian's thoughts, and muttered for a while, "Where is the nearest closed location?" Far from here? ”

"It's not far away, about ten minutes." Yinuodao.

"Then you can try." Liu Yan nodded lightly and added: "But now that the walking corpses have dispersed, I estimate that the effect of concentrated attraction is not great, you have no firepower, in case you run into another group of people...... will suffer. ”

"According to what you said, what kind of extermination method?" Lu Qian was a little embarrassed, Ming Junwei explained before that he meant to let them attract the walking corpses, if he listened to Liu Yan's opinion, I don't know if it would disrupt Ming Junwei's rhythm.

Liu Yan smiled faintly, remembering the anti-encirclement and suppression commanded by Song Jiu in the riverbank camp, and synthesized the current situation, and said: "Sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood, kill and retreat, divide a part of the people, and clean up the road to the closed place." ”

"Okay, let's do it." Lu Qian immediately made a decision, divided ten people from the team to meet the necessary way to the meeting, briefly discussed the rhythm with Liu Yan, and rushed out of the alley with the rest of the people to join the battle group.

Before the action, Lu Qian was still a little apprehensive in her heart, and always felt that Liu Yan's method was a bit dangerous, if she simply attracted the corpses, then she could still keep a certain safe distance from the walking corpses on her side, but if it was according to Liu Yan's words, then everyone would need to engage with the walking corpses. It may seem like a lot of people on their side, but in reality these people are not full-time combatants, and many of them are responsible for the normal functioning of a camp. The last time it faced the mass walking dead, the roundabout had already paid a terrible price, and although the roundabout still stood in the city, the population had plummeted by a third.

"Don't worry." As if seeing the hesitation in Lu Qian's heart, Liu Yan softly reassured: "Fight quickly, connect the front and back, and don't let anyone fall behind." ”

"Hmm." Lu Qian threw away her miscellaneous thoughts, frowned slightly, regained her composure with a pair of eyes, and rushed out side by side with Liu Yan, without a pause, and the blades in her hands swayed out a puff of blood mist.

At this moment, Yinuo suddenly noticed a noisy sound from his waist, and hurriedly waved his knife to behead the walking corpse in front of him, retreated to the end of the team and took off the intercom.

"I'm Yinuo, hey! Can you hear ME? ”

"Received, I'm Xiao Wei, where are you?"

"Ximen Main Road, how are you and Yaoyao?"

"The main road? Get out of here, the convoy is coming towards you! ”

"What?" Yinuo was shocked, why did he still come out of the convoy??

However, the intercom turned into a sizzling electric sound again, and after a long time, Xiao Wei's eager voice came again.

"Hurry back, Yaoyao is in... Zizi ...... Over there! ”

"Where??" Yinuo ran while shouting, hurriedly approached Lu Qian's side, and shouted: "Xiao Wei told us to retreat, saying that a convoy is coming!" ”

"Convoy?!" Lucy was also shocked and puzzled: "Where did the convoy come from?" ”

As if to answer her question, a hundred meters ahead of the main road, two heavy off-road vehicles suddenly jumped out of the intersection on the right, breaking through the walking corpse team and turning around at the same time, speeding towards Luxi's side.

Liu Yan's brows jumped, and she scolded in her heart, Caroline actually chased after her so quickly, how did she know that she was hiding here?!

"Hurry back!" Lu Qian's eyes were quick, and she dragged back a red-eyed militiaman, whistled, and retreated with a group of militiamen to the pre-set responders.

The group of walking corpses hovering in the center of the street completely exploded, with Lu Qian and the others in front of them, and the speeding convoy behind them, and for a while the roars set off like a wave, even muffling the gunfire on the other side of the convoy.

The main road was wide and straight, and there were few obstacles on the street, so Lu Qian and the others retreated as soon as they said they would retreat, and when they arrived at the pick-up point, the small team that was separated was not ready.

"Enter the alleyway!" Liu Yan has been leading the young man to block the front, at this time has opened a small distance from the walking corpse, the rear convoy firepower is fierce, two heavy off-road incarnation of the battery, the tongue of fire spit overturned a large area of the walking corpse, with the speed of the violent crushing, seeing that it is about to break through the corpse group and approach the side of everyone.

Lu Qian's face was solemn, the streets on this side of the three-way intersection were very spacious, and the collective retreat was completely a live target for the two chariots, and was about to order everyone to disperse and flee, but he heard a gunshot on the opposite side, and a ball of blood exploded in the cab of the first car, and the driver fell to the side, just deflecting the steering wheel, and the front of the car instantly shifted and twisted a hundred and eighty degrees, and fell to the ground with a bang, crushing out a meatloaf and rolling out more than ten meters away.

Everyone followed the sound, only to see a man on the roof diagonally opposite, the muzzle of the gun shifted, and pulled the trigger again on the car behind him.

Lucy and Yinuo looked happy, and Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
