Chapter 156: The Siege
Rhaegar guessed correctly, T'Challa, the prince of Wakanda, was indeed in big + trouble.
Originally, according to the plan, T'Challa should have led his army to block the direction of Wesker's zombie army, but did not engage the other side to try to maintain the vitality for the final battle. It would be nice if we could get the zombies away from the direction of the sword and the vibranium mine. At first, T'Challa failed to do the latter, but he did a good job of holding on to the enemy. But when he combined the information given by Rhaegar and found that the zombies were not as terrifying as he originally thought, he was a little underestimated. Coupled with the sense of responsibility and pride to defend the people and defend the country, this guy changed his plan and brazenly launched a surprise attack on Wesk's zombie army.
As the prince of Wakanda, he has a responsible father, and he has a good enough living and learning environment, and he does not have the arrogance of the ordinary rich second generation Quan second generation, T'Challa still has a certain ability. He's also the future superhero Black Panther! In response to the fact that zombies are afraid of fire, he started with incendiary bombs at the beginning of the raid, and also arranged an arson team. In addition, he also posed a phalanx that is rarely seen in modern warfare, and the members of the phalanx are holding large-caliber pistols or rifles one by one, just to explode the heads of zombies. With these two hands, which he used to deal with the chaotic and undisciplined zombies, he got off to an almost perfect start. In just half an hour, nearly 20,000 zombies fell.
However, just when he thought that he was sure of victory, and turned to feel sad that these zombies were once the citizens of the country, the situation began to change.
T'Challa did have some attainments in tactics, but tactics were mostly in the service of strategy, and his strategy was wrong from the start. Before he formed a team to prepare for the surprise attack on the zombie army, Wesker had already arranged for some of the 'zombies' to be ready, and when the ordinary zombies were dragging T'Challa's army head-on, he could rush from both flanks at any time to finally complete the encirclement of T'Challa's army. Another mistake on T'Challa's point here is that he didn't listen to Rhaeggar's 'degree of virus modification', taking it for granted that Wesker only had zombies in his hands - no consciousness and only killing and cannibalism. In fact, Wesker has already arranged a group of conscious 'zombies' to mix in the zombie army. This is the one that has been arranged to burst through the flanks, but it's no longer appropriate to call them 'zombies'. Wesker gave them a new name - Makini.
Compared to ordinary zombies, the process of makini lesions is somewhat different, and the result is that they retain human intelligence, can communicate verbally, use various weapons, and set traps. On top of that, their strength and speed are slightly higher than that of the average zombie, which means that they are completely an evolved version of the zombies - except for one aspect: externally, they are almost the same as zombies.
At the cost of nearly 40,000 ordinary zombies, Wesker relied on the group of makinis who were reinforced by the skins of the zombies but strengthened N times, and made T'Challa's army dumplings. Seeing that his army was impacted, divided and gradually devoured by the zombies that poured up from all directions, T'Challa, who was in despair and ashamed to see people and had the heart to die for his country, was finally protected and broke through the zombies' encirclement. And during the breakthrough, his personal guards died again...... In the end, less than 20 people fled back to the royal city with him!
As for Wesker, his biochemical virus has spread all the way from the west of Wakanda and the south of Wakanda, gradually approaching the royal city in the northeast, and the biochemical army has nearly half a million people - not counting those who are still in the process of transformation! In comparison, more than 30,000 is only one in a tenth, what is it? Moreover, zombies, as the lowest-level 'biochemical troops', are originally cannon fodder, and Wesker is not heartbroken at all. The key is that this battle is even smoother than he imagined, and he still has a killer weapon that he hasn't used!
Rhaegar didn't make it to the big battle that affected almost the entire battle. When he arrived at the royal city of Wakanda with Crowe and the metal box containing the core of the 'Red Queen', the royal city was almost in ruins, with scattered zombies wreaking havoc everywhere, and the last royal palace had been surrounded by zombie armies. When Rhaegar managed to make his way to the palace, he was told that T'Challa was drunk and unconscious.
Strictly speaking, this can't be considered bad news. After T'Challa chose to drink to drown his sorrows, King T'Chaka of Wakanda had taken over the defense of the palace. This little short and a little chubby old king, although he is not good-looking, is full of experience. Seeing that Wesker did not have heavy firepower, he decisively blocked the palace gates, and built sections of earthen or wooden walls within the relatively tall palace walls. Although these 'inner walls' are not too strong, they are not useless, but there is an extra buffer zone between the palace wall and the palace, which can be regarded as an additional stronghold for defense and counterattack!
It is a pity that the old king, like T'Challa, also made preconceived mistakes. He thought that Wesker had no heavy firepower, so when a bald-headed 'man' the size of two hills, one arm with a hammer weighing hundreds of pounds and a heavy machine gun in the other hand appeared outside the palace wall, and it only took a few minutes to cut a hole in the palace wall, the old king was stunned.
That's Wesker's ultimate creature weapon, the terrifying monster that claims to be able to compete with the Hulk, the Super Tyrant!
Rhaegar had already guessed that Wesker had made a tyrant as a big killer, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of tyrant in front of him. Considering Wesker's claim that the Super Tyrant can compete with the Hulk, Rhaegar wondered if the Super Tyrant had been transformed with Bruce Banner's blood. However, judging by its performance, it is indeed very strong, very strong, but it is still a little worse than the Hulk that Regar remembers.
So when the old king was almost desperate, Rhaegar breathed a sigh of relief.
However, to the surprise of everyone on Rhaegar's side, after the super tyrant broke through the palace wall, Wesker did not take advantage of the situation, but sat up and asked the old king to show up for a dialogue. When the old king stepped forward against all odds, Wesker made two demands: to relinquish ownership of the vibranium mine and hand over the 'Ladder of the Sun'. He promised that if the old king did these two things, he could no longer release biochemical viruses in Wakanda, and take away all the monsters that had been diseased, and even assist the Wakanda officials to eliminate the zombies scattered and left in various places.
To this, the old king replied that he was very moved out of duty to the people, but he did not know what the ladder of the sun was.
Wesker was naturally upset. He was clearly sure that the 'Ladder of the Sun' was inside the palace. After listening to the two men talk half-noisily, Rhaegar finally learned the secret of the 'Ladder of the Sun'. It turns out that it has another name, and it is the heart-shaped herb that every generation of the Wakanda royal family has to take after their succession!
