Chapter 266: Night Falls
"Do you feel that the offensive of this corpse tide seems to have slowed down a lot? Even a little abnormal! Pender said after a slight groan.
"Yes, I feel that way too. Our Xin'an City base has also encountered a wave of corpses before, although under the influence of the sun at noon, the strength of the zombies' attack will be greatly reduced, but at most it will be reduced by one or two percent. ”
"But now, I feel like they're attacking more than half as hard." Tang Peng nodded in agreement.
The last time he faced the tide of corpses, he guarded the city wall with the most corpse tides, so he was also the most impressive.
After hearing this, the regiment leaders like Li Bei also nodded one after another, and they more or less felt this way.
Seeing that everyone was like this, Peng De groaned a little and then ordered the helicopter to go out to investigate again.
Only fifteen minutes after this order was issued, news came back, but this news made everyone's brows frown.
As they imagined, the reason why this situation was caused was because the number of mutated zombies in the corpse tide had significantly decreased, from more than 1,000 to more than 500 today.
It's no wonder that from the news that came back an hour ago, the news of killing mutant zombies has greatly decreased.
"Commander, it seems that the IQ of this mutant zombie king is really not low! He should also understand that it is not advantageous to fight them during the day, I am afraid that he is accumulating strength, and he will wait for the general attack to be launched at night. Tang Pengyun said with a frown.
The others also looked solemn.
For them, this wave of corpses is too large to be wiped out. Their strategic goal was to kill the mutant zombies as much as possible and give Ye Feng a chance to make a move.
And now the mutant zombie king may have guessed this, so he didn't send a large number of mutant zombies.
While this will cause him to lose control over the zombie tide, that's okay. Because these ordinary zombies are completely cannon fodder for him, only mutated zombies can be regarded as subordinates worth using.
What's more, the number of ordinary zombies he brought over was so huge, and he was not afraid of that little consumption at all.
Hearing Tang Pengyun's question, Peng De suddenly changed the topic, "Is lunch ready in the logistics office?" ”
"Uh......"
For Peng De's divine turn, everyone was a little unable to come back to their senses.
It was an officer in charge of logistics beside him who reacted in time and replied: "Report to the division commander, it has been done, and according to the specific requirements, some more dried meat has been put into it." ”
"Hmmm! Then distribute it! Let the soldiers below take advantage of this time, eat a little more, and rest when they have time, and tonight is the time when it is really difficult. Pender said.
Hearing Peng De say this, Tang Pengyun and the others immediately understood Peng De's thoughts.
Now the initiative is not in their hands, and since the mutant zombie king's side has begun to accumulate strength, they can only let the soldiers rest more and save more energy for the evening.
And because of the war, these soldiers, who have not eaten meat for many days, are rarely able to eat a big meal today.
Basically, in every lunch box, there is a bowl of jerky and a bowl of broth.
This made many soldiers feel like tears in their eyes, even if the pieces of meat that could be eaten in a few bites, they were all eaten in more than a dozen bites.
When these soldiers began to take turns to rest because of the slowdown of the corpse tide's offensive, Peng De also told Ye Feng about the situation on the corpse tide's side and asked if there was any way to deal with it.
And Ye Feng's answer was only four simple words, improvised!
In this case, even Ye Feng couldn't do it better than Peng De, after all, they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops.
What's more, their opponent is a mutant zombie king who also has intelligence.
So no matter what kind of situation happened, Ye Feng would not feel strange, all they could do was to improvise and see the moves.
In the face of more than two million corpses, Ye Feng also had a deep sense of powerlessness, even if his combat power was strong and he could kill in and out of these 2 million corpses, it was impossible to stop this corpse tide and destroy the base of Xin'an City.
All he could do was to do his best to kill the mutant zombie king.
……
The battle in the afternoon seemed to have entered a period of calm, although the corpses were still heading in the direction of the Xin'an City base, but looking at their slow pace and empty eyes, they were like old men who were about to die.
And for soldiers, the mutant zombies that pose the greatest threat are greatly reduced in the case of a significant reduction, and their danger is also greatly reduced.
Even many soldiers who are evolutionaries are armed with weapons, go up and slash indiscriminately, if they are chased by zombies, they can easily get rid of the corpse tide by drilling in the direction of the dense barbed wire.
This afternoon, the number of zombies they killed has once again increased significantly, reaching nearly 200,000.
Only about 100 soldiers died.
Of course, the only bad news may be that the number of mutant zombies killed is just over five hundred.
And among them, more than half of the credit comes from the Dragon Tooth team.
If it weren't for the Dragon's Tooth Clan's efforts, I'm afraid that the number of mutant zombies killed by those ordinary soldiers alone would not exceed two hundred.
And such a calm battle, which lasted for an afternoon, was about to come to an end as the sun was about to drop below the horizon.
As the sun's rays became weaker and weaker, the movements of these zombies became more and more agile, even if the number of mutated zombies did not increase, the offensive rhythm of the corpses began to speed up.
All this made these soldiers who were fighting fiercely a little uneasy.
And at this time, the order from above was also conveyed. Pender's order was simple, that is, to let the soldiers distance themselves from the corpse tide as much as possible, as long as they were directed in the direction of the trap.
And finally transferred the special combat regiment that has been recuperating to the front line, and tonight they and the Dragon Tooth team are the main forces in the battle.
Roar, roar, roar!
When night fell, the dense corpses in the suburbs seemed to come to life.
They all let out excited roars, and the deep pupils of their eyes flashed with a faint green light, which made people shudder when they saw it.
"Everyone gave up melee combat and switched to firearm attacks." When the sun went down and saw the changes in the corpses, Xu Wenjie had to give such an order safely.
Although it was not the first time they had dealt with zombies at night. But the last time they experienced it was just a defensive battle, and they were sticking to a place like Yin'an Bridge, and the zombies' combat power couldn't be brought into play at all.
But now this is a suburb, and there are no precipitous fortifications to rely on, if you are accidentally trapped by the tide of corpses, even if the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Tooth Clans far exceeds that of ordinary troops, I am afraid that they will not be able to carry it.
