Chapter 13: Defending the City

The roaring beast tide finally hit the first line of defense, and a trench several meters deep suddenly swallowed a large number of beasts, as more beasts fell into the trench, the entire trench was gradually filled with beasts, and more beasts stepped on the corpses of their companions and continued to charge forward.

The second line of defense is all kinds of barbed wire, but a few barbed wires can't stop many beasts at all, and the more role is only to trip those beasts, so that the back form a stampede effect, and when the barbed wire is covered by the corpses of the beasts, it will lose its effect, and the next head-on confrontation is the main body.

Longer-range particle weapons begin to attack bulky beasts, which deal the most damage to defensive walls, so this type of beast is the priority to kill.

The scavengers and wanderers who spontaneously climbed the defensive wall were handed over by the armed men, and the strength of the guards suddenly increased a lot.

The large beasts were killed one after another, and some small beasts began to attack the defensive wall, facing the climbing beasts, these untrained scavenger wanderers were basically an arrow and an accurate one, and basically there would be no misses, and the beasts that were already close to the wall were directly stabbed with a spear, basically ensuring that the beasts could not climb over the defensive wall for the time being.

Chen Zhengjie originally wanted to go up and defend together, but the leader now attaches great importance to him very much, and did not approve him to participate in the defense, in fact, it is ugly to say, the production of strong crossbows is what he thought of when he was idle and bored, for this kind of weapon is really not easy to think of in this world, after using too many laser weapons and particle weapons, these weapons have long been very handy and have a sense of dependence, if it weren't for this beast tide to let the armed men and scavengers exert their strong crossbow attack strength, The boss doesn't realize that sometimes the crossbow is also a good choice as a weapon for usual use, after all, particle weapons and so on will cause attrition, and if the crossbow is broken, you can directly use scrap metal to build a new one.

The production of crossbow arrows is also very easy, in addition to the range can not reach the distance of scientific weapons, and the reload speed cannot keep up with the frequency of attacks, the strong crossbow can definitely be a good weapon, looking at the beast that can't climb over the defensive wall, the leader has to have confidence in the use of crossbow arrows.

"Chen Zhengjie, you can study it carefully when you go back and see if you can increase the range of the strong crossbow and load the crossbow faster." The leader said to Chen Zhengjie, who was following him.

"Okay boss, in terms of range, we can use the tendons of these beasts in this beast tide, so that we can increase the strength of the single, so that the crossbow arrows can fly farther, and I already have an idea in my mind when loading, you can use the crossbow box to load the spare crossbow arrows, so that you only need to open the bow and shoot the arrows." Chen Zhengjie said to the leader.

The leader had to take an interest in what was going on in the head of an 11-year-old, or a lot of reading was a good thing, and maybe going back and letting those scavengers and wanderers read more books might lead to more ideas.

The beast tide is temporarily resisted, and the remaining problem is to see how long the beast tide lasts, but at present, it seems that the battle cannot be solved in the short term, the number of beasts running in the rear is still very amazing, and some of the scavengers and wanderers on the defensive wall have no strength to pull out the crossbow, after all, their food is relatively scarce, and the dietary conditions of the armed personnel in the gang are completely different, so it is expected that they have no strength, but they have not given up the awakening of resisting the beast tide, after all, they are all family members behind them, Friends and family, if they give up, maybe the beasts will break through their defenses and attack those who are basically powerless.

The scavengers who couldn't pull their crossbows put down their crossbows one after another, picked up their spears on the ground, and stabbed them at the beasts that were about to reach the top of the defensive wall, so that they could withstand the beasts, and as time went on, it was estimated that they would not have the strength to hold the spears for a long time.

Finally, the beast tide stopped for a while, it is estimated that the leader of the beast felt that the impact had not washed away the human base for so long, and it felt a little wrong, so he quickly summoned his subordinates to exchange the problem with his shout, and the attacking beast finally retreated a little.

Hurry up and let all the personnel involved in the defense rest on the spot, and those women and children in the rear hurriedly brought food and drinking water to distribute to them, at this time they must be full to have strength, those scavengers and armed personnel are treated exactly the same, after all, everyone has contributed to defend the city, then there is no need to divide too clearly, after all, no one knows how long the beast tide behind will last.

Everyone who had rested for a while finally breathed a sigh of relief, everyone sat quietly on the ground at the base of the wall to recover their strength, and the sentry on the guard tower was vigilantly watching the black and oppressive beasts in front of them, and when they observed that they had an offensive posture, they could send an alarm to the personnel below, so that everyone could enter the defensive position early to prepare for resistance.

......The alarm bell sounded again, and all the combatants quickly got up from the ground, picked up their weapons and entered their defensive positions, and the beasts probably exchanged opinions to start attacking the base city again.

"Boom, boom, boom......" A huge number of beasts ran towards the base again, but the defense personnel found that these beasts actually began to bypass the defensive wall and go away, what the hell? When did the beast start to be so smart? This is not a good phenomenon, and if these beasts evolve high intelligence, it will be a disaster for humans.

However, the best news at the moment is that the beast finally stopped attacking the base, which made the defenders breathe a sigh of relief, this time the city defense miraculously did not let a beast break through the defense line, and some scavengers and wanderers on their side were basically nothing except for a little minor injury, I have to say that this time the defense beast tide is the most successful one.

After the Beast Army Principle Base, the alarm was finally lifted temporarily, but the vigilantes still used all conditions to monitor the movement of the beast tide to prevent them from turning around and launching another attack, and the defenders were still resting in their respective defensive positions.
