Chapter 25: You go first, I will break last
The zombies that came this time were very different from the previous ones, they were obviously a lot more flexible, most of them could trot and sprint, and with the fact that they would not feel tired, they were undoubtedly much more dangerous than those ordinary zombies who were slow and staggering.

"No wonder we feel that the front feet are coming up with their back feet, and they are being promoted."
Zhou Xiaoning secretly said to himself, in just ten days, the flexibility of ordinary zombies has risen to the level of no different from ordinary people, I believe that more advanced lickers, tyrants and other zombies have also been strengthened accordingly, and the situation of human beings is really becoming more and more worrying.
"Everyone, pay attention, the zombies are almost at the bridge, ready to start fighting!"
Zhou Xiaoning gave the battle order, and everyone clenched the weapons in their hands and prepared for a desperate battle.
During the period when Zhou Xiaoning led the self-rescue team to go out for training, the construction team led by Luo Dafu also built the fortifications at the entrance of the village, in fact, to put it bluntly, the wall of more than three meters high surrounded the bridgehead near the entrance of the village, and the entry and exit all depended on an anti-theft door. Due to the limited resources, the materials used to build the wall are not all masonry and cement, and some wooden boards, iron plates and other things are mixed in, so don't expect too much from the degree of solidity, the wall of 12,000 zombies may be able to resist, but in the face of these hundreds of thousands of zombies rushing up, I am afraid that a face will be knocked down.
Originally, Zhou Xiaoning planned to go out this time, clean up the surrounding losses, and then collect materials to strengthen this wall, but now it seems that it is too late.
Therefore, Zhou Xiaoning and the self-rescue team had to go out to the fence to arm, fortunately, the previous roadblocks were not completely cleared, but there was a road in the middle that could be used by a car, so strictly speaking, the place they had to defend was not large.
Therefore, Zhou Xiaoning divided the remaining seven self-rescue teams into three groups, namely two defense groups, each group of three teams, led by Zhou Xiaoning and Zhou Pingzhong respectively, the two defense groups took turns to replace the defense, and always maintained their physical strength, after all, this is a protracted battle, and they can't retreat a step before the villagers in the rear retreat to a safe area.
The remaining group is used as a mobile group, and Zhou Xiaoning has incorporated the best performers in the past few days into this group, and it can be said that they are the elite of the self-rescue team. The task of the mobile group is to provide timely support when the defense group can't hold on, and to destroy the zombies that break through the defense line. It can be said that they are the last line of defense here.
Just when Zhou Xiaoning finished arranging the task, the vanguard of the zombies had already boarded the bridge, and the follow-up zombies were about to arrive at the bridge, but there were roadblocks to obstruct them, and they couldn't get on the bridge, so they could only block the edge of the bridge.
But as more and more zombies arrived, those barricades were faintly showing signs of being pushed, and it seemed that those barricades would not last long.
"Kill me!"
Zhou Xiaoning roared angrily and took the lead in attacking, more than thirty iron nails shuttled back and forth, like a small metal storm, killing every zombie that approached.
But the follow-up zombies can be called endless, how many die, how many will be made up immediately, and it is inevitable that there will be some fish that slip through the net after a long time. And at this time, the self-rescue team has something to do, with each squad as a unit, all the zombies that break through Zhou Xiaoning's defense are all wiped out by them.
In this way, more than ten minutes passed, Zhou Xiaoning's control of mental power has improved again, and the number of controllable iron nails has also increased from more than thirty to more than forty, but he does not have the slightest joy, his spirit has been a little tired, and the people of the three small teams of self-rescue teams have also begun to breathe, and they are obviously starting to be tired.
"Uncle Zhong, change guards!"
Zhou Xiaoning shouted, I don't know how long this blocking battle will last, and they will have to break through later, so they must maintain their physical strength.
On the side, Zhou Pingzhong and the people of the other defense group were already ready, and as soon as Zhou Xiaoning gave the order, they immediately ended the defensive task, while Zhou Xiaoning took his group to the side and took the time to rest.
Compared with the defense group led by Zhou Xiaoning, Zhou Pingzhong's group is obviously much more difficult, after all, they don't have Zhou Xiaoning's ability to clear monsters strongly, so they can only play melee combat with zombies, killing them one by one, and the efficiency is naturally not as high as Zhou Xiaoning.
However, it is precisely because of this that Zhou Pingzhong and others admire Zhou Xiaoning more and more, and only those who have experienced it can understand how much pressure Zhou Xiaoning withstood by himself just now.
Five minutes later, Zhou Pingzhong's group began to show signs of retreat, and it was believed that it would not be long before they were defeated by zombies.
For this reason, Zhou Xiaoning had to readjust and transfer his two squads to Zhou Pingzhong, while he himself took a squad to bear the impact of zombies, which meant that Zhou Xiaoning had to bear more pressure.
Zhou Pingzhong didn't do it at first, but he couldn't stand Zhou Xiaoning from using his identity as the captain to pressure him, so he had to agree.
As a result, the strength of Zhou Pingzhong's group has been greatly strengthened, and the battle line has become much stronger.
It's just that the price of this is that Zhou Xiaoning's spirit is getting more and more tired, and the few minutes of rest between can't fully recover at all.
The battle lasted for more than 40 minutes, and Zhou Xiaoning and the members of the self-rescue team were a little overwhelmed, and even the people of the mobile group came up, but the news of the safe evacuation of the rear personnel was not conveyed for a long time.
"Uncle Zhong, it seems that something happened, you take a small team of people back to help, and I'll leave it to me here!"
Zhou Xiaoning ordered, he was also helpless, Zhou Pingzhong and a small team of people are certainly valuable combat power, but if the people in the rear do not withdraw for a moment, they will not be able to retreat for a moment, in such a situation, it is very important to know how to make trade-offs.
Zhou Pingzhong knew the importance of his task, he glanced at Zhou Xiaoning deeply, and then ordered a team of people to return to the village. If Zhou Pingzhong followed Zhou Xiaoning out of gratitude and love for his juniors before, then now he sincerely regards Zhou Xiaoning as his captain. During this period of time, he saw everything Zhou Xiaoning did, and if someone jumped out to challenge Zhou Xiaoning's authority at this time, he would definitely be the first to stand up and make that person look good.
Zhou Pingzhong and a team quickly passed through the village, and there was no one in the village at this time, so they rushed towards the back mountain, if there was any place to leave, there was only the back mountain.
"Sure enough."
When he came to the back mountain, Zhou Pingzhong's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, the back mountain faced this side of the village and the mountain was gentle, it was easy to climb up, but the other side was much steeper, even if the strong young man wanted to climb down, not to mention the old and weak women and children in the team?
Now, it is the people of the self-rescue team who send the people on the mountain down in a belt-by-one way, and there must be some people under the mountain to protect them, which makes it possible to go down the mountain at most about 30 people at a time, and go back and forth for at least 20 minutes, and now there are not even 200 people who have successfully descended the mountain.
Looking at the more than 2,000 people still staying on the mountain, Zhou Pingzhong was really anxious, he knew that the village entrance would not last long.
"Everyone go up to help, try to get everyone down the mountain as soon as possible!"
Zhou Pingzhong led the small group of people to start moving, and although the speed increased a little, it was still very limited.
On the other side, the zombies have already washed away half of the road, and more and more zombies have begun to pour in, Zhou Xiaoning and they can't care about changing their guards, everyone has stepped up and blocked the zombies with all their might.
Soon, the first casualty appeared, it was a middle-aged man in his thirties, he was bitten on the calf by a zombie crawling on the ground, the severe pain caused his hand movements to stop, and he was pounced on by the follow-up zombies, and bit his throat.
He knew that he wouldn't survive, and he would even become a zombie soon, he didn't want to be like that, so after stabbing the zombies that pressed on him with a knife, he used his last strength to rush to the zombie group, and fell into the river with three or four zombies.
"Damn, let me die!"
Zhou Xiaoning was already red-eyed, he had also seen that person in danger before, but he couldn't save it, otherwise more zombies would rush up, causing more casualties, and he couldn't afford that kind of price.
There are two of them, and soon the second and third wounded appeared, although the location of their injuries is unknown, but the terrible infectious power of the virus can also turn them into zombies. Similarly, Zhou Xiaoning has the ability to save them, only two zombie virus serums and their respective blood, at most ten seconds before and after, but Zhou Xiaoning can't save them, or that sentence, he can't afford the consequences.
The two people understood Zhou Xiaoning's distress, and like the previous person, they rushed to the zombie group and pulled several zombies down the river together.
After that, most of the people who were bitten by the zombies did the same, until the sun set, they only had more than 30 people left, and they used more than half of the casualties to buy more than four hours for the evacuation of the villagers in the rear.
At this time, the barricades on the bridge had all been destroyed, and the bridge was unimpeded for the zombies, so Zhou Xiaoning retreated to the wall with the rest of the people, ready to make the last resistance.
"Xiao Ning, everyone has retreated to a safe place, you can retreat."
Zhou Pingzhong panted and ran over to report the news, seeing the members of the self-rescue team who are still alive now, his heart couldn't help but pinch a little, everyone is a villager on weekdays, and they are from the same village, it is inevitable that there are some relatives, and now that so many people are gone, how can his heart be better.
"Okay, Uncle Zhong, you take them first, and I'll break them off here."
"Nope."
Zhou Pingzhong rejected Zhou Xiaoning without thinking about it, when he enlisted in the army, the first lesson his instructor taught him was that he couldn't abandon his comrades-in-arms no matter what, not to mention that Zhou Xiaoning was still his junior, so he couldn't leave it alone.
"I'm here after the break, anyway, it's enough for me to live so big, and I'm alone, but you, your grandfather, and they're still waiting for you, and the self-rescue team still needs your leadership, so you have to go."
"Uncle Zhong, have you forgotten that I can fly, if I want to leave, those zombies can't keep me."
Zhou Xiaoning blocked Zhou Pingzhong's mouth with a word, indeed, if it weren't for them, Zhou Xiaoning would have left a long time ago, how could he stay until now.
"That'...... Okay, but you have to promise me that you can't retreat right away. ā
"Okay, I promise you."
Zhou Xiaoning responded, anyway, he didn't plan to stay and fight to the death, with his current mental state, if he just evacuated, it would be more than enough.
Seeing Zhou Pingzhong and the others leave, Zhou Xiaoning turned around and looked at the already precarious wall.
"Alright, let's make a big fuss about it."
