Chapter 33: The Zombie Tide Strikes
The dark nights of the last days are always very long, and although there are a large number of survivors gathered at the city gates, surprisingly, few people dare to make a sound.
From time to time, the light of incandescent lamps flashed on the city walls, illuminating the survivors who were keeping vigil by the campfires below, mostly in rags, squatting or standing, looking tired.
Xia Fei sat in the car, her eyelids were already starting to fight, but in such an environment, she couldn't sleep peacefully.
Lu Yun was still chattering in his ears, talking about his plans for the future, about her, about them.
Listening to these unreliable words, Xia Fei became a little bored in her heart, and she thought that there was nothing to look forward to about the future.
Anyway, life has been rotten like this, no matter how bad it is, how rotten it can be, just let it go, it's not easy to just live.
Being alive doesn't sound much easier or more difficult.
Her eyes were a little numb, Xia Fei looked at the night sky outside through half of the unsealed glass, in fact, she didn't know what she was looking at, maybe she just wanted to make a serious vigil, so that she might be able to show that she still wanted to try to survive.
But she knew in her heart that even if the following days were smooth sailing, her body would not be able to support it for long, and even recently, she could always feel a sense of imminent death.
Thinking of this, Xia Fei's eyes were slightly dim, and she thought back to everything she had done, and suddenly found that it was so meaningless.
She wanted to save people, but the people she tried to save died.
She wanted to live, but now she had to wait for death.
Perhaps, if it weren't for her, those people wouldn't necessarily die now, and from another point of view, she was the culprit who caused their deaths.
A sense of disappointment arose, and she finally found herself so depressed, without a little strength, without a trace of hope, without desire, without a goal, what would happen in the future, let it be.
"Sister, did you hear me?" Lu Yun's words pulled her back from her somewhat divergent thinking, and Xia Fei turned her head and saw a pair of frightened eyes beside her.
What happened, and why did Lu Yun be so scared?
Xia Fei had some doubts in her heart, followed Lu Yun's gaze, saw the scene in the distance clearly, and was suddenly stunned.
On the road about a few hundred meters away, a dense black shadow appeared at some point, silently, and the lights of the base flashed, illuminating hideous faces full of rotten flesh.
It's a zombie!
In an instant, Xia Fei reacted, and couldn't help but be a little horrified in her heart, the number of these zombies was far larger than any she had seen before.
At the same time, a shrill siren sounded from the city walls, followed by a riot at the base gate.
Everyone saw that this wave of corpses that were surrounding the base, the huge number of corpses, made everyone start to panic, unlike the base, they did not enter the city, as long as the corpse tide attacked, then they were the first to bear the brunt!
However, as if someone was deliberately manipulating them, these zombies came from all directions, looking irregular, but they surrounded the entire base.
They had nowhere to hide, not even to escape.
"Open the door! Open the door and let us in! ”
"Open the door, if you don't open the door, we'll die outside!"
"It's dead outside, maybe you can still live if you rush in, brothers, let's smash the city gate open!"
……
The voices of the survivors came and went, feeling the threat of death, everyone went crazy at this moment, and the heavy gate shook slightly under the attack of everyone.
As if seeing hope, the survivors outside the city rushed to the city gate one after another, pushing and scolding, and the scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.
"Da Da Da ......"
Sensing that something was wrong with the situation below, the army defending the city on the city walls began to attack, and a dense stream of bullets rained down, some aimed at the tide of corpses, while others targeted the survivors below.
Suddenly, a group of survivors fell, accompanied by screams, the rich smell of blood wafted all over the battlefield, as if stimulated by the smell of blood, the corpse tide began to be restless, and some strange-looking zombies flew out of the corpse tide and were hit back by dense bullets.
"Roar!"
Behind the zombies, I don't know how far away, an earth-shattering roar came, and the restlessness of the corpse tide gradually calmed down, and began to continue to surround the base according to the original formation.
As the tide of corpses got closer and closer, the defenders of the base began to can't help it, and some powerful weapons began to be put into the battlefield, and the sound of artillery fire kept ringing, taking away the lives of countless zombies.
In the corpse tide, patches of blank areas were formed and filled, for the huge base of the corpse tide, these killings were too little, and they didn't play a big role at all, and they only slowed down the pace of the corpse tide's attack a few times.
Hiding in the off-road vehicle, Xia Fei's face turned a little pale, and Lu Yun was no better than her, the two of them had survived from the peaceful era to the present, and neither of them had experienced war until this day, and they did not discover the horror and shock of war until this day.
Under such a battlefield filled with gunpowder, the off-road vehicle that the two of them were riding was like a flat boat in a rainstorm, which would collapse at some point, and the thickened steel plate did not give them a sense of security at this time.
"Sister Xia Fei, go to the city gate, drive to the city gate!" Trembling with pale lips, Lu Yun pointed in the direction of the city gate, urging, the tide of corpses behind him was getting closer and closer, if they stayed here any longer, it wouldn't be long before they would be surrounded.
Surrounded by so many zombies, she didn't dare to imagine what would happen.
"It's useless, they're not going to let us in." Xia Fei's eyes were a little discouraged, although there was still fear in his eyes, but more of it was relief: "We have been given up." ”
The expression on his face became even more anxious, Lu Yun turned his head and shouted anxiously at Xia Fei: "I didn't plan for them to let us in, as long as we hide close to the city gate and have the protection of the off-road vehicle, maybe we can still live!" ”
Hearing Lu Yun's shout, Xia Fei's eyes lit up slightly, and he carefully thought about the feasibility of the plan.
Indeed, with the cover of the army's firepower, it is not so easy for the corpse tide to rush to such a close distance from the city gate, and their off-road vehicles have been modified to effectively defend against stray bullets, as long as they are not unlucky enough to be shot through the fuel tank, basically there will be no problems.
In fact, this is to put all the bets on the base, as long as the base can repel the tide of corpses, then they also have a chance to survive with the base, if they fail, then they can only be buried with the base.
It's the only way they can survive now, and it's slim, but it's worth trying.
It's better than waiting to die.
