Chapter 49: Trapped
Murong Yue and his party of thirteen people, well-equipped and fast-moving, swept more than a dozen strongholds and collected a lot of materials within three days.
All their actions have been calculated by the foxes, and where to go first and what to collect is carefully planned.
Originally, according to the plan, everything went well, most of the materials nearby were collected, and Murong Yue was ready to go back.
But from the third day onwards, Murong Yue was keenly aware that there were more zombies chasing after them.
There are thirteen of them, although the target is not big, but it is easy to attract zombies when they gather together.
Although they would also attract zombies before, because they acted cautiously, their force value was also high, and their goal was not to clean up zombies, Murong Yue and they didn't encounter any big trouble in the first two days.
However, since last night, Murong Yue has found that zombies that are several times larger than before have surrounded them.
With Murong Yue's skills, coupled with their abilities, as long as they were not surrounded by thousands of zombies, it was still relatively easy to break through and retreat.
Tonight, Murong Yue and the others found a relatively remote place to spend the night, so that it would not be difficult for too many zombies to break through.
It's a pity that the heavens didn't fulfill people's wishes, and not long after they had dinner, they found a large number of zombies coming from all directions.
At first, although Murong Yue and the others were a little annoyed, they didn't worry too much.
Now the strength of the zombies is too weak, and the threat to them is still within the controllable range.
So, they're ready to break out like they did before.
But they didn't expect that the zombies this time were more than twice as strong as the previous ones.
Although the zombies are a lot stronger, if they fight alone, they will definitely not be able to defeat Murong Yue, but what if there are thousands of zombies? Then the result is not certain.
Because the strength of the zombies exceeded Murong Yue's expectations, their battle plan had to be temporarily changed.
But even so, they were dragged by the zombies for a long time.
By the time they had finished dealing with the previous troops, the other zombies had arrived, forming an encirclement and trapping them.
Although there are no casualties so far, it will definitely be detrimental to them if it drags on like this.
Zombies are tireless, but people's energy is limited, they can't fight all the time, even if these tens of thousands of zombies can't solve them for a while, they can be dragged to death.
Murong Yue was already aware of this, so he ordered everyone to rush out immediately at all costs, and if necessary, they could use heavy weapons.
Their plan was correct, but there is a saying that planning does not keep up with change.
Halfway through the siege, the zombies suddenly went crazy and rushed forward desperately, as if some force was driving them to carry out such a crazy act.
Faced with such a situation, no matter how powerful Murong Yue was, they were blocked in place.
Now, Murong Yue and the Twelve Guards formed a circle back to back, struggling to kill the zombies in front of them.
Murong Yue's expression was serious, and there was a trace of imperceptible worry on his cold face.
He has been trained since childhood and has been in the army for so many years, so it can be said that when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, there is almost no one who is his opponent.
He held a saber in his hand, his movements were swift, his hands were neat, one knife cut off the hand stretched out by the zombie, and then the neck was cut off with another knife, the whole process did not take more than three seconds. A zombie was dealt with by him.
Murong Yue did not choose to use a gun, because in the current situation, the efficiency of cold weapons is better than that of hot weapons.
The battle was deadlocked, and everyone was piled up with calf-high zombie corpses in front of them.
From the beginning of the night to the end of the night, they had been fighting fiercely for three hours.
Although their physical strength was stronger than that of ordinary people, the three hours of continuous high-intensity fighting also made them feel a little tired.
