Chapter 17: Resistance
The black pressure was overwhelming, and the overwhelming beast tide was surging.
These terrifying big guys are all hideous in appearance and huge in size. Like monsters crawling out of hell, even the earth trembled when they gathered together to charge.
These insects and beasts, which would have been fighting when they met, have now all gathered together and launched an attack on this abandoned city.
For humans, these huge insects and beasts, which are often two to three meters long, and even some of them are more than ten meters in size, are simply a nightmare for humans.
Everyone shivered and hid on the top of the building, praying to God to avoid the attack.
Originally, these beast tides were just a one-time invasion, and if you couldn't see humans, they would automatically disperse after a long time. But this time was different.
I saw these insects and beasts frantically surround the bottom of the building, and then use their hard feet to stick to the surface of the reinforced concrete, and begin to attack the roof of the building!
Seeing these terrifying insects and beasts gather and charge at the top of their own buildings, the scavengers were all terrified.
It's been at least five or six years since the last beast tide. For many people, the beast tide seems to be a very distant thing.
No one thought that there was a beast tide now, and this time the beast tide, these monsters seemed to have a lot of flexible brains, and they actually knew how to climb the building and attack the humans on the roof.
With life and death at stake, these desperate scavengers have no choice but to use their weapons to fight back as best they can.
Bang bang bang!
For a while, there was a lot of gunfire!
People used their guns and began to launch frenzied attacks on these insects.
But the striking power of these light weapons is really limited. To deal with some small insects, you can also rely on the impact of bullets to knock these insects and beasts off the walls of buildings. But for medium and large insect beasts, the power of these small-caliber bullets is really lackluster!
And what's worse is that once there is a gunshot, those insects and beasts that are very sensitive to sound will besiege them even more angrily.
That scene is like a sea of worms besieging a city, making people desperate!
Soon, medium and large insects and beasts rushed to the roof of the building in the face of the scavengers' bullets. Then a bloody massacre began.
Flesh and blood flying, stumps and broken arms!
The howls of all kinds of humans spread throughout the West End.
The top of the building became a slaughterhouse for humans.
In the face of huge insects and beasts that are not afraid of bullets, humans instantly changed from hunters to prey.
Countless people died in an instant.
The remnants of the scavengers were all frightened and ran out of the cantilever ladder connecting the two buildings.
"Help me, please, don't leave us behind!"
A group of people frantically ran through the narrow cantilever to the roof of another taller building.
But where did the people in the other building dare to let these people run over.
After all, they were followed by a large group of insects and beasts. I saw that these people were ruthless and directly cut off the suspension ladder, and then these people fell directly from mid-air.
"Oh! No! “
"Fuck, you bastards, we'll be waiting for you in hell!"
Those scavengers who thought they could escape fell from heaven to hell in an instant. They cursed each other frantically, and then watched as their bodies were torn to shreds by the insects waiting below.
The fighting was so fierce that the lower buildings fell first.
After all, the floor height is low, and those tall insects and beasts can easily climb up, once the insects and beasts are allowed to go up to the top, then with the ridiculous light weapons of humans, it is simply to tickle the insects and beasts! There is no other possibility than to be slaughtered by insects and beasts!
But one of these tall buildings is almost impregnable like a fortress! That's the Lord's Building in the West End.
It is a super tall building with more than one hundred and fifty floors, unlike other buildings, only the top is inhabited by quite a few people. This lord's building, from the 50th floor, has a large permanent population. Combined, the entire building is inhabited by thousands of people.
These were all slaves and warriors of the lord.
They served their lords in exchange for a safe place to live.
And now, it is time for them to give their lives for the lord.
Under the command of Lord Huang Steward, these people desperately launched an attack on the insects and beasts below. Rolling logs, falling rocks, all kinds of light and heavy firearms, almost anything that could be used anyway, these people used everything.
Not to mention, these seemingly untechnical methods of throwing heavy objects are more effective than firearms in people's hands, taking advantage of their height. Using gravitational acceleration, a brick of tens of kilograms can smash a small car into iron sheets, even if the skin of those insects and beasts is thick and thick, it can't resist this impact, and they fall off the wall and fall to the ground fiercely.
In addition to these methods of resistance, even more powerful was the installation of a mobile anti-aircraft gun on each of the four sides of the building. This is assembled from the parts that the waste pickers have scavenged from the garbage heap!
Although it looks ugly in appearance and the structure is unusually simple, this is a real killer!
The 88mm double-barreled cannon is raining ammunition at the herd at a rate of 40 rounds per minute!
Even the larger insects and beasts are not afraid of the attack of light weapons, but when they encounter such a large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery attack, they will burp the same!
You know, this thing is caliber enough to penetrate a thinner pre-apocalyptic main battle tank. No matter how thick the carapace is, the insect beast cannot sustainably resist this level of attack.
And relying on these four mobile batteries, the Lord's Mansion can finally withstand the invasion of insects and beasts like a flood!
And at this time at the very top of the Lord's Mansion, the Lord looked down tremblingly, in his eyes, the insects and beasts all over the sky surrounded the entire Lord's Mansion crazy attack, from time to time there were slaves who were bitten into two by those insects and beasts that rushed up, and even poor guys, who were bitten by insects and beasts, fell from the tall building, and were directly divided by the massive insects and beasts downstairs.
The fat lord, who was about to squeeze out the oil and water, saw this terrifying scene, and immediately trembled with fright, only to see him look at the yellow steward and say, "Yellow steward! Can we hold it? ”
Hearing the lord's inquiry, the yellow steward looked at the insects and beasts downstairs with indifferent eyes, and replied expressionlessly,
"My lord, do you want to hear the truth or lie?"
"Nonsense, when is Steward Huang going on, and what are you talking about?"
Seeing that the lord was angry and questioned himself, Lord Huang still replied indifferently, "Lord Lord, it depends on the strength of the attack of this beast tide, and at present, our 4 mobile batteries can still resist the opponent's attack!" But if the beast tide lasts for more than three hours, the number of shells we have stored will be exhausted, and once we lose the assistance of the mobile battery, we will not be able to resist the attack of the insects and beasts by relying only on manpower! ”
Hearing what the yellow steward said, the fat lord was even more afraid, but even so, he had nowhere to go. This is the safest place in the entire Western End, and if he leaves the Lord's Palace, where can he go?
Just when the entire West End was being attacked by a beast tide, on the roof of a building near the edge of the West End, a petite figure was putting up a stubborn resistance!
Unlike the scavengers on other buildings, Bi Yuwei's method of resistance is even more special. The fortress that her father had left him had many special mechanisms in it, and all of them were of great use at this time.
I saw that many insects and beasts had just climbed into the middle of the building, and a huge drill suddenly stretched out, and the insect beast was completely split in two, and terrifying green blood flew all over the sky. On the other side, under the control of Bi Yuwei, the walls of the building suddenly opened many small holes, and a large amount of oily substances surged out, and then under the action of an electric arc, the fierce fire began to spread to the entire wall of the building, and countless insects and beasts were burned to the point of screaming and roaring, and finally fell from the building weakly.
This kind of similar scene occurs frequently on all sides of Bi Yuwei's building, and it can be said that this inconspicuous-looking building is simply a mechanical fortress. There are all kinds of weird things on it.
Even the elevator hanging on the roof of the building was under the control of Biyuweide at this time, and instantly turned into a large war hammer! Swinging the lift's boom back and forth turns a giant iron ball into a super killer!
The huge swinging arm shook the iron ball, and then, like a swinging pendulum, slowly approached the climbing insects.
Buzzing~
There was a whistling sound of air, and I saw several small insects and beasts that couldn't dodge, and were smashed into small green cakes by this big black iron ball!
And although those large insects and beasts resisted the weight of the iron ball, they couldn't resist the huge impact of the iron ball, causing the whole body to be knocked into the air and fall to the bottom of the building again!
Seeing that Bi Yuwei's building could resist the attack of insects and beasts, some scavengers in nearby buildings began to cry out for help, hoping to be able to move to the top of Bi Yuwei's building to escape.
Hearing the cries for help, Bi Yuwei glanced at these people coldly.
There are some people who are very friendly to her, such as the middle-aged eldest sister. But there are some people who have bullied her!
Seeing Bi Yuwei's cold eyes looking at her, these guys immediately shrank their necks. It's over, I offended this little girl to death before, she won't fall into the well!
Thinking of this, these scavengers who had bullied Bi Yuwei before were all worried.
After all, at this time, everyone is fighting on their own, wanting a person they have bullied to save their lives regardless of their previous suspicions, and they think that they are not so noble.
Just when these people were about to despair, Bi Yuwei suddenly opened the hanging ladder between the buildings. Then made a gesture to come in!
As soon as these poor fellows saw the life-saving ladder open, they immediately rushed to this side!
After a while, more than 100 people crowded into the top of Bi Yuwei's building. Most of them are residents of the surrounding buildings, but now, the surrounding buildings are falling one by one. If you don't transfer it sooner, the results will be unimaginable!
Although some people in it, Bi Yuwei didn't like it, but she still knew that it was much better to concentrate on defending together than to be alone. So even though she hated those bastards, Bi Yuwei still let the surrounding aborigines come and take refuge.
And although these aborigines have been frightened by insects and beasts, they know that everyone is now a grasshopper on a rope. If Bi Yuwei's building is attacked, everyone will die!
So these people who escaped immediately and consciously began to help Bi Yuwei in her defense.
The time of resistance was long and difficult, and soon the hours passed, and the strength of the insect beast's attack began to gradually weaken, and everyone seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
As long as they hold on until the tide of beasts recedes, they have a great chance of surviving.
And at this moment, a huge boom came from a distance. The Lord's Mansion of the Western District, which was once regarded as an impregnable fortress, collapsed in the incredible eyes of everyone!
