Chapter 35: The Tide of Corpses is Coming

Billowing black smoke billowed from the windows of the building, and the comrades-in-arms came out of the building tiredly, gray and embarrassed.

Several medical personnel in white robes carried away the corpses and sprayed disinfectant on the blood stains on the ground layer by layer, which indicated that this would become an area for the development of the base in the future, otherwise such a special person would come to clean and disinfect.

Li Ru sat wearily with his back against the wheels of the armored car, staring at the blood that had begun to dry up on the ground.

Suddenly, a figure stood in front of Li Ru, Qiao Feng sat beside him with a gun, and asked tiredly, "What do you want?" So distracted? This time the incident was a bit sudden, and he was a little worried that Li Ru would not be able to bear it, so he came to see him.

Dozens of men and women rescued from the building, some were sluggish and numb, some were silently sobbing, and some were looking around in a panic.

"How many people were killed?" Li Ru swallowed his saliva, looked up at the faint clouds in the sky and asked.

"Twenty of them...... Nearly a hundred corpses were also found in the parking garage in the basement, which were already highly decomposed", Qiao Feng's eyes stared straight at the ground, he didn't want to recall the scene of the corpses piled up like a hill, but that scene was like engraved on his heart.

"Heartbroken......" Qiao Feng burst out a few words from between his teeth, how could he imagine that people could be so vicious, could they ignore the life and death of others and do whatever it took to do anything when disaster came?

Li Ru's heart suddenly loosened because he had blocked a thousand-pound boulder because he killed people with his own hands, and he could be regarded as letting them atone for their actions.

He understands the collapse of order under the end of the world, but must the end of the world return to the primitive and return to barbarism? Does the dark side of man have to explode when disaster strikes? He can understand the atrocities committed in order to survive, but cannot identify with the sins committed for the sake of desire.

Maybe it was the joy of being rescued, the girls who had been brought out like puppets began to cry loudly, the female soldiers didn't know how to comfort them, Li Ru silently turned his eyes away, he didn't ask what happened to them during this period, and he didn't want to ask.

At this time, the sunlight above Li Ru's head was suddenly blocked, and when he raised his head, he happened to meet a pair of familiar eyes.

"Li Ru!" Li Wei squatted beside Li Ru, her eyes were red. Qiao Feng on the side knew that he was redundant, so he consciously stood up and left, leaving them space to be alone.

"Why are you here?" Li Ru asked softly, she should have stayed behind.

"There are a few female soldiers here to take care of them, and you know that there are not enough people now, and I have several positions." Li Wei tilted her head and glanced at the survivors gathered not far away, "I feel so sad"

"You cried?" Li Ru looked at her and asked with some concern.

"Hmm." Li Wei lowered her head and sobbed, raised her face to look at Li Ru's eyes, "They... They... Those people are animals! ”

She should have just learned what happened to those girls, although Li Ru didn't ask, but he thought about it, he deliberately didn't understand it just because of the weakness in his heart and didn't want to face it.

Li Ru patted Li Wei's shoulder, Li Wei raised her head, she sympathized with the experience of those women, but in her heart she was more sympathetic and happy. If it weren't for the fool Li Ru, she would have ended up as miserable as these women. Maybe the luckiest thing in this life is to meet Li Ru.

Li Ru squeezed her shoulders heavily, as if he wanted to pass on the strength of his body to her. Li Weibei came from it and threw herself into Li Ru's arms...... Li Ru patted her lightly on the back, not knowing what to say.

The building where the fierce battle just now was completely cleaned up, Li Ru saw that his teammates were carrying body bags in groups of two, and after a while, all the corpses were carried by everyone to the open space outside the building and piled together, Li Ru was still thinking about what he was doing, and suddenly the raging flames burned, and Li Ru reacted at this time, it turned out that he was dealing with the corpse.

At present, both manpower and material resources are limited and precious, and the headquarters does not have the time or energy to collect the corpse of every victim, so according to the usual practice, it is directly incinerated and disposed of......

Li Ru hugged Li Wei tightly with both hands, Li Wei was just a momentary emotional outburst, whimpered twice, quickly adjusted her mood, and hung her head to leave Li Ru's shoulder.

When everything was cleaned up, Li Wei said goodbye to Li Ru and withdrew with the large army.

Qiao Feng suddenly received an order and took the whole group back to the armored car in great strides.

"What? Retreat back to base? Li Ru stared at Qiao Feng in surprise, surprised, "That's the end of the rescue operation?" "He still figured it out when he withdrew to the temporary camp, but what was he doing when he returned to the main base, it was basically cleaned up, and there were no survivors who needed to be rescued, and the C city had just begun, and there was very little time left for the survivors, so it can be said that there were survivors struggling powerlessly on the line of life and death at every moment, and suddenly letting the survivors return to suspend the rescue at this juncture was not equivalent to leaving the survivors to fend for themselves?

The eyes of the whole car were focused on Qiao Feng, waiting for his answer.

"I don't know, the base urgently summons all the surrounding combat troops to go back" Qiao Feng kept taking a deep breath, his mind was heavy, the base's actions this time were too abnormal, his military rank was not high, and he didn't know what was going on, but it didn't feel good.

……

……

The dimly lit hall of the General Headquarters was silent, and rows of communication instruments were neatly placed aside.

Several general-looking soldiers sat around in a dignified manner, quietly silent.

The middle-aged officer sitting in the middle was expressionless, don't look at him calm on the surface, but the anxiety in his heart has almost reached its peak.

Several other high-ranking generals of the military region glanced at each other from time to time, and waited equally anxiously, and the urgency of the matter had reached the point of burning eyebrows.

"And what's going on in Zone D?"

The scale of this sudden corpse tide is unprecedented, and the military base of D City, which is fully resisting, has lost contact, so it seems that it has been more than lucky, and no one can give an answer to how the corpse tide was formed, but the immediate question is not to explore the cause, but how to face the attack of this corpse tide.

Monsters are weak, they can't do anything without intelligence, but hundreds of thousands or even millions get together, it's a disaster, on the real battlefield, the charge of thousands of people will give people the feeling of being all over the mountains, if it's a million people, it's like a tide coming, unstoppable.

The communications staff officer reported on the sidelines: "It has been clearly detected, and at their current speed, this million-sized corpse tide will encounter the base in three days." ”

The middle-aged officer's heart was in a mess, the news must be blocked from the outside world now, otherwise it will be troublesome to affect the morale of the army, but the military district of D City has been swallowed up by the tide of corpses, how long can they resist? If you choose to abandon the base, you can still escape, but after losing the hard-working base, the troops will be slowly eaten away if they are adrift, and the current situation is like a dead end.

"Report!"

"Speak!"

"The experts have been invited"

"Let them come in quickly"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and tell me about your achievements!" He didn't have the patience to wait any longer, and as soon as the person came in, he was straightforward.

"We have studied the causes of the corpse tide for a long time, and we have caught a lot of samples, but we found that the monsters in the corpse tide are no different from ordinary monsters, simply put, there is no so-called difference in intelligence, but judging from the small corpse tides encountered by various military regions before, they have a strong purpose and strategy, as if they are driven by something, or summoned by something, just like bees, a bee may not be able to do anything, but a group of bees can even make breathtaking achievements, At the moment, we can only speculate that the formation of the corpse tide is related to the overall intelligence, and they may form some kind of connection like bees. A few researcher-like people also knew that the situation was urgent, so they explained it straight to the point.

"You've said so much, I just want to know if there's any way to stop them." The middle-aged officer didn't seem to hear anything.

"I'm sorry, but as far as the current research goes, an attack on the base is inevitable, and we've tried to disperse the corpse stream through explosions and other big movements, but the result is that no matter how much we interfere, they move in the direction of the target as if they were summoned, destroying everything." The representative of the researcher bowed in apology.

"That's it, it's okay, I know, you guys go back!" The middle-aged officer did not get angry, but sat down again in frustration and commanded. If there is no way to avoid it, then you can only fight to the death.
