Chapter 101: War of Atrition
The zombies in the city are partly on the streets, partly wandering elsewhere, and partly locked up in places such as houses and buildings.
Trying to gather all the zombies that don't move fast together is not something that can be done in a day or two.
Perhaps it was the two superpowers of the Dawning Base who came to kill the zombies in the suburbs every day, which angered the intelligent corpses, and the corpses finally moved and attacked the survivor base from the west.
The number of zombies is endless, and the corpses are loosely arrayed in front of the group, and densely gathered in the back.
Obviously, the Zhi Corpse intends to use the tactics of non-stop charging to fight a war of attrition in waves, and at the same time to avoid being slaughtered by the opponent with fire attack after the zombies are too concentrated.
The Dawning Base has already figured out a way to resist the large-scale corpse herd, and the first few waves of charges are not in a hurry to burn, and the corpses of the zombies are piled up outside the scaffolding by slashing and killing, and then sprayed with gasoline to form a flame isolation zone when they are two or three meters high.
In this case, no matter how many zombies there are on the periphery, they will not be able to break through the scaffolding defense line in the same position. The reason is simple, because zombies move clumsily, and climbing the corpse wall is very difficult for them.
This time attacking the survivor base, the smart corpse seems to be determined to take it down, constantly adjusting the direction of the corpse's attack, looking for a breakthrough, and specially choosing to attack at night.
The smart corpse is very smart, and every time it shifts its position, it leaves a large number of zombies to consume the defenders of the survivor base, and takes more than 300,000 corpses to find weak points.
The 210-kilometer-long Dawning City scaffolding defense line is too long to cover everything.
The city defense armed team can only organize the women, slash and kill the zombie squad that sneaks into the base without paying attention, and then the main armed team adjusts the orientation with most of the zombies, and specially organizes more than ten emergency armed teams for emergency rescue.
Zombies can not sleep, but humans can't not sleep.
The wise corpse is patiently consumed, surrounding it during the day and attacking it at night. They attacked day and night, but whenever they saw a wall under construction, they organized a group of corpses to charge and interfere.
The Shuguang City Defense Armed Team had no choice but to streamline the number of defenders in batches and implement an overtime mode of two shifts, so that everyone could fully rest. Sometimes, in case of emergency, I have to wake up the resting person to provide support.
For two weeks in a row, the survivors of the Dawning Base looked sluggish, and they were overwhelmed by this cunning intelligent corpse, and the casualties increased significantly.
However, the situation of the corpse group is not much better, and every time they attack the defensive front, thousands of low-level zombies have to die.
Moreover, now that the team has two superpowers, Captain Chen can rush out to find the location of the Zhi Corpse, which obviously disrupts the offensive rhythm of the corpse group, so that the Zhi Corpse does not dare to use all the main corpse group to impact the defensive line.
Chen Yu knew that the Zhi corpse must be hiding in the corpses of hundreds of thousands of people, but he was helpless, and he couldn't fly. If you go too deep, you will have to spend a lot of physical energy to get it back.
The Dawning Base is so tat-for-tat with the corpses staring outside, the survivors are dying, the base's supplies are being consumed, and the number of corpses is decreasing every day.
When the number of survivor casualties exceeded 1,200, the size of the corpse group was obviously not as large as at the initial stage, so the intelligent corpse ran back to Changsha City.
The second encounter lasted 26 days, and the wall work was repeatedly disrupted, seriously delaying the progress. But fortunately, with the addition of the population of the Vulcan base, the speed after the restoration project is faster than before.
At the beginning of December, heavy snow fell, and the end of the world entered the eighteenth month.
"It's so cold...... Zhou Ling, who was shivering in the toilet, got into the quilt like a cat, occupied the left side of the man, and said quietly: "There are rumors in the team that if this continues, it is not going to enter the Xiaoice River period." ”
Qin Ya, the outermost on the right side of the man, asked in a low voice, "What is the Xiaoice River period?" ”
"The average annual temperature is much lower than normal, with severe droughts and floods in the summer and extremely cold in the winter, and heavy snowfall not only in the north, but also in the south. If you look at Nanhu Province, it has snowed for the third time since the beginning of winter. ”
"It's better if it's colder, don't you say, zombies don't move as flexibly as they used to be." Fu Qingyu sighed and said, "I don't know what that smart corpse is doing, why does he always catch our Dawn Base and don't let go." ”
Chen Yu couldn't help laughing: "People want to eat and drink, and they are in a race competition relationship with different life forms with human beings. With so many more than 200,000 people here, do you think it can be willing? ”
Qin Ya said: "Fortunately, the foundation of our city wall has been laid, I went to see it at night, and the concrete was poured to the ground, but I didn't expect the construction period to be advanced." ”
"As long as it lasts for another two months, the wall will be two or three meters high." Chen Yu grabbed the little hand under his crotch and scolded with a smile: "Who, do you want to make trouble?" ”
"Hee-hee."
"Giggles."
"Laugh, I have to teach you a lesson tonight."
Thinking that it has been many days since he had a crack, Chen Yu was interested, and first pulled Qin Ya, the owner of the bad little hands, over, and took a few bites to let this former first-line actress get into the quilt to work.
Then clean up the dance teacher Zhou Ling and the junior sister Fu Qingyu, the big peach in the left hand and the small pear in the right hand, and have a lot of fun.
In the days when they are worried and afraid, women don't know whether they will live or die tomorrow, and where they will be happy. But as soon as the zombie group retreated, their lust spontaneously became restless.
Among the three women, Chen Yu likes to toss Qin Ya, the female star lady, the most, especially when the frontal attack reaches the end of the other party's life, the woman opens her mouth and stares at him, pushing and grabbing with both hands, with an expression on her face that the world is about to explode.
And Zhou Ling yelled and couldn't stand it, but Fu Qingyu gritted his silver teeth and endured it, working hard to support, with a look of killing me if you have the ability.
Within a few days of the happy days, the intelligent corpse that should have been cut by a thousand cuts gathered a large wave of corpses to attack the Dawning Base and disrupt the progress of the survivors' wall construction.
The weather is cold, the movement of zombies is affected, and humans are relatively better, they can burn fires and wear gloves and hats to protect themselves from the cold.
Everyone is already familiar with the offensive methods of the corpse herd, which is nothing more than a few tricks of outflanking, attacking at night, and using trebuchets to catapult zombies into the scaffolding defense line.
Anyway, it was a war of attrition, and the Dawning base began to increase the rhythm of new casualties every day. The corpse group is shrinking day by day, and after being killed to a certain number, they retreat back to Changsha City to continue to replenish their military strength.
Every time the Zhi Corps attacked, it was a confrontation that lasted for more than ten days, taking hundreds of lives from the survivor base, and most of them were men in their prime.
As early as after the first human corpse war, in order to prevent zombies from eating the living, the city defense armed team specially formed a group of gunmen, once the zombies were found to drag the survivors away, they would shoot and give the other party a happy death.
This is also something that can't be helped, rather than being disemboweled alive and eaten, it is better to let your teammates be killed with a gun, saving you from suffering alive and returning the ability to evolve the corpse.
The women who died no longer had the motivation to cry, because people were dying every day, and there was only one wish in everyone's hearts, which was to hope that the city wall would be built soon.
