Chapter 51 The Stars Fall
Xu Yongping lost his father when he was young, and when he couldn't remember, his father died in the Battle of Laoshan. When he became sensible, all his impressions of his father came from the medals that his mother received. His mother never told Xu Yongping about his father, and when he was a child, he always wondered why other children had fathers but he didn't, and when he was older, he stopped asking, because he saw his father in books, and he knew that his father was a great hero.
After Xu Yongping was admitted to the National University of Defense Technology, he graduated with full credits ahead of schedule through his own efforts. During his time at school, Xu Yongping's diligence and excellent qualifications impressed teachers and classmates, and with the help and support of Xu's father's old comrade-in-arms, Principal Shao Yifu, Xu Yongping successfully entered the 61889 unit and began his career as a school officer.
Memories are like a wall, and when you think you're going around it, it's there, waiting for you.
Xu Yongping thought about his mother in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei shelter, and felt very uncomfortable. My mother raised herself by herself, watching herself become an adult, and when other aunts of the same age were taking care of their grandchildren, she could only watch her weekly phone call at home. Because of the peculiarity of the work and the responsibility of defending the capital, I have not married a wife in my thirties, and after today, my mother is alone again......
"Mom, my son is not filial." Thinking of this, this iron-clad man was already in tears.
An explosion was heard in the building in the south area of the office building of the National Convention Center, and it was a desperate soldier who detonated the grenade on his body and died along with the zombies. As time passed, the defensive area of the second line of defense was continuously compressed to the north by the corpses, and the number of casualties among the soldiers increased dramatically, and the defense line was crumbling under the impact of the corpses, and it was only a matter of time before it was washed away.
Xu Yongping calmed down, adjusted back to his emotions, and observed the battlefield.
"Send the order to the remaining armored vehicles, cancel the task of roundabout and contain behind the corpses, let them rush through the corpses without looking back, and go directly to the nearest troop station or shelter, with survival as the first task." Xu Yongping said to the signal soldiers: "In addition, pass our coordinates to General Jiang Wannian, and request the last batch of firepower reinforcements, and the strike range covers the area between these two coordinates." ”
The communications soldier was stunned for a moment, then turned around and gave the order.
Xu Yongping lit a cigarette, looked at the evening in the distance, and smoked leisurely.
……
Shao Yifu was put on a helicopter by the soldiers, and Ge Congxian followed. Shao Yifu stopped scolding, threw himself on the window pane of the plane, and looked in the direction of the battlefield.
The National Convention Center building still stands tall in the distance, and smoke rises from the ground near the building, with exploding smoke curtains rising from the ground from time to time. Shao Yifu turned his head and stared at Ge Congxian, but Ge Congxian turned his head away from Shao Yifu. The pilot flew in a helicopter, which was the first to take off in the second batch, while the other planes in the helicopter group were still loading and unloading equipment and equipment on the ground.
A dense patch of small black dots appeared in the sky, and white clouds trailed behind their tails.
There was a roar on the ground, and missiles landed precisely between the second line of defense and the Huizhong Road tunnel, covering all the areas. The impact of the explosion could be clearly felt even on the helicopter, which far bypassed the area in the explosion and flew into the distance, and Shao Yifu's heart sank to the bottom.
All the buildings in the blast area were destroyed by the missile attack, and the streets that were once bustling with traffic are now only in ruins, and there are no living creatures standing on the ruins. Next to a pile of shells, there was a extinguished cigarette butt, and after I don't know how long, a moving foot kicked the shells away, and it stepped on the cigarette butt, stepping it into the dust. Behind it was a dense mass of zombies, which walked past it, smoothing out all traces on the ground.
It was getting late, and about 30,000 zombies came to the crack on Datun Road, and the front of the corpse group began to walk towards the crack, using their bodies to pile up a path for their companions behind them to pass. Piles of zombies fall into the chasm, and the zombies in the back crowd the zombies in front, squeezing more zombies into the chasm. At the bottom of the rift, some of the zombies that fell down broke their skin and flesh, and the corpses were separated, and some crawled on the ground, trying to get back on their feet.
Some zombies broke the bones on their hands and feet, and when they tried to support their bodies, the broken bones pierced the skin, stretched out, and squeaked on the ground, making the scalp tingle.
Some zombies just stood up, and they were knocked to the ground by the zombies that fell from above, and the zombies on their bodies piled up more and more, and the zombies that were suppressed under them couldn't move at all.
The soldiers guarding the south side of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Olympic Village Science and Technology Park have begun to shoot at the zombies in front of the Datun Road tunnel less than 100 meters away. One by one, helicopters in the park that have been filled with equipment have begun to take off, and only a few on the ground are still in the final stages of loading.
At 18:41, it was dark, all the lights in the science park were turned on, and visibility was not affected in any way. The corpses have filled the cracks, and the deep ditches are full of wriggling zombies, and the corpses behind them began to cross Datun Road with their bodies and came to the front of the south gate of the Science and Technology Park, and some zombies moved towards the east gate of the park along Beichen West Road.
The gunfire did not stop, and the remaining less than 150 fighters were distributed in the southeast two gates of the entire park, and most of them were concentrated on the south gate, which was the last force of the 61889th unit. After experiencing the turmoil of the day of mutation, several rescue operations of scientific researchers, and the defense of the Institute of Tsinghua Concord, this glorious Chinese army has almost shed its last drop of blood, and the last remaining soldiers have given up the chance to survive in order to persist in completing this last task. The helicopters did not all take off, and they still could not fall.
At 18:50, the zombie group broke through the south gate of the park and rushed into the science and technology park, and the 61889th unit was divided into zero, and the zombie group engaged in street battles in the park, using buildings and terrain to contain the corpses. The corpses rushed into the buildings of the National Museum of Zoology, the Museum of Geographical Sciences, and the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, and attacked the fighters inside.
At 18:55, the last helicopters finally finished loading and began to take off.
The last rays of light disappeared behind the buildings on the horizon, and there was twilight in the sky. Gunfire was everywhere in the technopark, and some of the forts were filled with hordes of zombies, and wounded warriors began to detonate grenades on their bodies.
At 23:04, all the voices in the Science and Technology Park of the Olympic Village of the Chinese Academy of Sciences fell silent.
