Chapter 6: Heroes
Colonel Zhou retreated to the top floor with a hundred or so men at this moment, this building has a total of six floors, and it was once the office building of a corporate company, but now it is a mess.
The people led by Colonel Zhou at this moment were all out of breath, their faces were red, and just now, they heard that there were mutated zombies downstairs, and they hurriedly organized people to deal with it.
As a result, the zombie was so fast that it was terrifying, and it could only see a shadow, and it could be said to be indestructible everywhere it went, and many people had cut it in half without even seeing its appearance clearly.
The scary thing is that the incision is very flat, which shows how sharp the claws of the mutant zombies are.
Mutant zombies meet to do it, and they quickly rush into the crowd to start a massacre, in a small and dense space, it is where the mutant zombies can exert their power the most.
Colonel Zhou's troops were hit head-on on the spot, and the first group of people died en masse without even seeing the appearance of the zombies clearly.
The people in the back were so frightened when they saw this scene that their pants were wet, and they ran back crying and shouting to their mothers, and the people behind didn't know what was going on, so they continued to rush down, causing many people to be blocked in the stairwell and couldn't go up and down.
The result can be imagined, this is like killing a chicken for mutant zombies, several people will die with one claw, and humans can't fight back in this situation, so they can only be slaughtered.
In less than five minutes, more than 300 people were killed, and Colonel Zhou's pale face commanded the rest of the people to retreat while fighting, retreating upstairs, and at the same time arranging many people to keep an eye on the staircase, as long as the mutant zombie dared to show his head, the dense bullets would block any gap in the stairwell, and he didn't believe that he couldn't kill that beast.
At this moment, everyone was tired and panting, and many people were already sweating profusely, but they didn't dare to put down the guns in their hands.
Colonel Zhou listened to all kinds of news from other troops on the walkie-talkie.
"Report! Colonel, the zombies are attacking again! ”
"Report! Countless zombies have launched a group charge against our position, and there are too many zombies! Request support, request immediate support! ”
Obviously, it would be right to say that the zombies are wise, they took advantage of the sneak attack of the mutated zombies, and took the opportunity to launch a group charge, wanting to give the last line of defense the final blow, and wipe out all the resisting forces at once.
Colonel Zhou no longer had any countermeasures, so he could only give orders with a dry throat.
War!
This is the order he gave to everyone, no tactics are effective, and now, they can only buy time with their lives.
On the walkie-talkie, many people know that Colonel Zhou is at the end of his rope, and as a commander, it is really not easy for him to do this!
"Yes! We fight to the death! ”
"Until the last man!"
……
At the west gate, when Lieutenant Li arrived here with his troops, there were still hundreds of thousands of civilians blocking the door, scrambling to escape first, but the speed of escape became slower and slower.
The scene was very chaotic, the emotions of the people were out of control, and the police present could not maintain order at all.
Lieutenant Li was also very shocked when he saw this scene.
"Lieutenant...... How are we going to get out? ”
Lieutenant Li thought hard for a long time, and finally came up with a good solution.
Then she returned to the military vehicle and began to say on the radio:
"Civilians, everyone be quiet, if everyone wants to rush out, then it will delay more time, please let go, we will burst bombs to blow a hole in the city wall, please cooperate."
This is a good note, as long as you can blow up this wall, I don't know how many times the escape speed will increase.
As soon as Lieutenant Li said this, the people present also quieted down, randomly, everyone watched them move a few boxes of bombs from the military vehicle, and they all retreated in fright, and a large open space was vacant more than ten meters away from the city wall.
"Please step back a little more, this bomb is very powerful, and the explosion area will be very large in a while......"
Without waiting for Lieutenant Li to finish speaking, everyone continued to retreat until they were a hundred meters away before stopping.
That's pretty much it, Lieutenant Lee nodded, and randomly led the soldiers to start planting explosives.
"You're going to hold my hand tightly for a while, and you can't let go of it, you know?" Ye Yu said nervously.
"Well, I will." Ai Xuefei nodded.
She was actually very nervous, the gunshots coming from the city were very intense, but they had begun to weaken Obviously, Colonel Zhou and the others were afraid that they would not be able to hold out for long.
After Lieutenant Li and the others planted the explosives, they also hurriedly ran out of the distance of 100 meters, and then pressed a button, and in a deafening explosion, the steel wall was suddenly blown out.
"Let's go!"
Everyone rushed towards the entrance of the cave, and most of the exits were at this time, although it was still a drop in the bucket for these hundreds of thousands of people, but it would give more people a chance to escape.
Ye Yu held Ai Xuefei's hand tightly to prevent her from being dispersed by the crazy crowd, and the two were not far from the exit, however, at this time, the gunfire in the city had gradually begun to subside.
Colonel Zhou withdrew to the rooftop with the remaining dozens of people at this moment, and there were only so many people left under him.
There may still be people fighting on other positions, but there are not many, and Colonel Zhou can also judge from the sound of gunfire that there will not be more than 500 people still alive to die.
His angry teeth are about to be crushed, miscalculated! It's so undeserved.
When they were guarding the stairwell just now, they just stared at the stairs, but they didn't expect the mutated zombies to rush in through the window, everyone didn't have time to react, and the muzzles didn't have time to turn around, and the mutated zombies had already rushed into the crowd.
Because the speed of the mutated zombies was too fast, and no one shot casually, Colonel Zhou could only barely retreat to the top floor under the cover of dozens of subordinates.
In fact, this is mainly the time that the hundreds of subordinates poured into their lives for him, and now, there is no one living downstairs.
It's horrible......
Just one mutant zombie had caused such a big loss to them, Colonel Zhou was really trembling with anger, but he was helpless.
How can I deal with mutant zombies?
There is no good way for international military experts to do this, after all, this kind of zombie is too fast, and its claws are sharp, and it is often half when you only see a shadow man, how can you fight?
Send more people? It also depends on where it is, if it's indoors, it's the food delivery, and in the open outside? You can't see mutant zombies in that kind of place.
Ordinary zombies already have commands, not to mention mutant zombies.
Colonel Zhou knew that it was impossible for him to escape today, the zombie army had broken through the defense line and poured into the city like a tide.
"Colonel...... What do we do now? ”
"yes...... Although we have placed a lot of obstacles in the stairwell, we can block it for a while, but it is impossible to delay it for too long, and the mutated zombie will rush up soon. ”
The rest of the people walked up to Colonel Zhou and said sadly.
They all know that they will die today, but they are really unwilling to die, so many people actually let a zombie die, and in the end they didn't even see the appearance of the mutated zombie clearly, how can they swallow this breath?
Colonel Zhou knew what they were thinking, and he didn't think so himself, but ......
"Everyone, it looks like we are going to die today, but before I die, I have to kill a few more zombies, and I must not just stand and wait for death!"
"Hmm...... The colonel is right, if we delay for one more minute, the common people will have more than nine minutes of escape time, and if we kill one more zombie, there will be less danger for mankind. ”
"Yes, that's right! It's a big deal, just fight with them! A tall man with a big belly said.
His name is Zhou Hong, he turned out to be an underworld boss who often fights and brawls, but he never bullies the weak, and he is very bold, the more dangerous he is, the more energetic he is.
It is quite similar to the "tiger" in the prison of yesteryear.
Colonel Zhou felt very moved, he didn't expect that in the moment before he died, there were so many loyal subordinates with him, and he was not so afraid in an instant.
Anyway, it's going to die, so why bother to be afraid? That's too cowardly, it's better to kill again before dying.
Colonel Zhou stood up again, straightened his uniform, checked his weapons and ammunition, and there were less than thirty rounds of ammunition and four grenades.
It should be enough, with his marksmanship, it is very easy to shoot one headshot at a time without interference.
"Okay, guys, let's fight to the death!"
"Well, fight to the death!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
"Let's check the ammunition, and listen to my command in a moment, we're going to ...... that mutant zombie Kill! ”
Colonel Zhou has decided that even if everyone here dies cleanly today, he will take that mutant zombie to hell with him.
Everyone hurriedly held a small meeting and formulated a strategy......
With a loud bang, the mutant zombie finally tore through all the obstacles and rushed to the rooftop.
The moment it appeared, dozens of submachine guns swept at it, and the mutant zombie that had been expected quickly dodged all the bullets and jumped to the right.
The moment it hit the ground, two soldiers who had already prepared jumped over and hugged it.
However, after all, the speed of the human race was too slow, and there were some mistakes in prediction, so the two of them didn't even catch the foot of the mutant zombie, and as a result, their heads were cut off in an instant.
"Grenades!"
Zhou Hong threw a grenade and exploded next to the mutant zombie, and the intense heat forced the mutant zombie to dodge to the left.
Two more grenades that had been prepared were thrown at it, and the mutant zombie had to jump up, and the grenades exploded at its feet, but they didn't hurt a single hair.
It seemed to let out a few smirk roars, looking at the weak humans with contempt.
Suddenly!
A figure plucked it down the steps above it and hugged it violently.
The mutant zombie seems to have dodged three attacks in a row, and it is a little lax, and Colonel Zhou's judgment is right, no matter how agile it is, in the process of ascending, it can no longer move like ordinary humans.
Colonel Zhou clung to its body and fell, and the mutant zombie let out a piercing roar, and its claws grabbed Colonel Zhou's arm.
Five sharp claws pierced Colonel Zhou's arm, one of which pierced the bones of his hand.
Colonel Zhou endured it and did not let out a scream.
"Quick! Everyone, hurry up! ”
Zhou Hong shouted, and then more than a dozen people pounced together, suppressing the mutant zombies.
The mutant zombies seemed to sense the danger, and kept roaring, waving the claws of their hands, and cutting the heads of several militiamen in half.
However, although zombies are terrifying, human beings are even more terrible when they are released, even if so many people die in their eyes, there are still people who dare to continue to rush forward.
Finally, everyone pressed the limbs of the mutant zombie to death, and its strength was still very large, and several people could hold down one of its hands.
"Colonel! Give the order! ”
The mutant zombie was completely unable to move, and everyone shouted at Colonel Zhou in unison, however, he did not respond.
Zhou Hong looked carefully and found that Colonel Zhou had ...... He's dead.
Half of his head was gone, and it was obvious that the mutant zombie had given him a shot in the process of struggling, but even if he was dead, he didn't let go.
Zhou Hong shouted in grief:
"Blow it up with a grenade!"
"But ......"
If you use a grenade, don't those who crush the mutated zombies also have to go to the sky together?
Zhou Hong can't help it, although he is not a soldier, but he is also a hot-blooded man, Colonel Zhou used his life to win this opportunity for them, and he will miss it if he hesitates.
"Take care, everyone! Let's go first! ”
The person holding down the zombie suddenly shouted, Zhou Hong was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly understood!
The men pulled out their grenades and ......
"Bumper bumper!"
After a series of explosions, only blood, minced flesh, limbs, and organs were seen at the scene.
Those people...... Died with the mutant zombies.
Zhou Hong left tears for the first time, in the past, his consistent purpose was to shed blood without tears, but today, seeing so many people desperately and generously dying, his heart was greatly touched.
Colonel Zhou, the people who died with the mutant zombies, and everyone who died in the battle with the zombies, they are all well-deserved heroes!
"Brother Hong...... You see! The person next to him suddenly shouted in horror.
Zhou Hong looked down and found that the zombie group below had actually stacked up in the way of stacking arhats like climbing a wall, and now it was almost to the fifth floor.
Zhou Hong wiped away his tears and looked coldly at the zombies below, his heart was not afraid at all.
He also wants to be a hero, although he has not done a few good things in his life, but he still wants to be a hero before he dies!
"Shoot!" Zhou Hong roared in a low voice.
The rest of the people used up the last bullets in their guns and killed many zombies, but they were also out of ammunition.
Then, Zhou Hong threw the gun to the side, took out the last two grenades, and looked down, his eyes full of determination.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... I, Zhou Hong, have lived all my life, and I have always been in a mess, and today, I want to be a real hero! ”
Everyone could see from his eyes and actions what he wanted to do.
He clearly wanted to die, but at this time, it was very different from the usual death.
"Good! Let's be a hero! ”
"Hero! Hero! Hero! ”
Zhou Hong glared angrily at the group of zombies below, and a pair of eyes that were already a little terrifying seemed to be about to erupt fire.
"Brothers! Follow me to death! Come on! Zhou Hong pulled the string of the grenade and jumped down.
"Rush!"
"Long live humanity! Long live the Motherland! ”
Like Zhou Hong, everyone pulled the grenades one after another and jumped down.
Zhou Hong's eyes never changed from beginning to end, his expression was always full of determination, and at the last moment before the grenade exploded, he shouted the last sentence with all his strength:
"Humanity will never go extinct!"
"Bump!"
The grenade exploded in the midst of the zombies, bursting into a blinding spark.
