Chapter 21: The Line of Defense of the City Hall!

Thank you Chen Wei and the proud man for the tips!

……

8:20 a.m.

The sky was still overcast, the fog that filled the whole city showed no signs of dissipating, the cold wind became more and more rapid and rapid, blowing people's ears and cheeks slightly painful, and the air temperature dropped to more than ten degrees Celsius, bringing the chill was already very obvious.

It's like winter coming, carrying the breath of death, constantly devouring all the life in the field of vision; This lifeless world in his eyes has added a thicker lingering haze to the hearts of all citizens who have experienced a night of bloody riots and survived by luck.

Located in the vicinity of the municipal government building, which is about 200 meters northwest of Hengfu Garden, bursts of dense and violent gunfire broke out from time to time, accompanied by the manic and tyrannical roars of many people infected with the blood-shattering virus.

Several nearby residential buildings were ablaze, and billowing black smoke rose upwards, dispersing the thick fog and emitting an extremely pungent smell of gunsmoke.

If someone gets a little closer, they will find that there are several main roads around the government buildings and extending in all directions, in addition to the chaotic and colliding abandoned cars, you can also see many bloodstained corpses of citizens who are no longer human, and of course, there are also a small number of corpses of hemovirus infection, which are covered with bloody bullet holes, and the scene is bloody and chilling.

In the two residential areas adjacent to the city government office building, you can often see citizens rushing out of the road with panicked faces, fleeing in all directions one by one, including the screams of adults for help, the helpless cries of children, and the desperate screams before being attacked by the blood virus infection.

At this moment, at every intersection that can be close to the city hall building, all kinds of hard and heavy debris have been piled up, and some even directly block several pickup trucks in front of the intersection as a line of defense, and there are multiple armed police guards behind them, and whenever a bloody virus infection hits these lines, then they will brazenly fight back and respond with bullets.

These defense personnel are basically from the security forces of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Fire Bureau, and the number is not large, and all of them add up to sixty or seventy people.

After the outbreak of the bloody virus riot began yesterday evening, the public security bureau near the city government building received countless calls from citizens, but before the police could launch a rescue work, they were attacked by a large number of people infected with the bloody virus in the vicinity.

The crowd was taken by surprise, and soon there were casualties.

Fortunately, Tian Gansheng, deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, organized effectively and brought the chaotic situation under control in a timely manner.

Under his leadership, the police officers joined forces with the nearby fire brigade to repel most of the intruding hemovirus infected people one by one, and finally gathered outside the city government office building, and successfully blocked every passage in four directions, blocking all the hemohemovirus infected people who were constantly rushing in.

In the evening of the same day, Qi Yunlong, as the highest-ranking deputy mayor on the spot, sent an emergency call to the largest military training base in Huainan Province, located in Xishan Industrial Zone, Lingzhou City, hoping to get the support of the national military department.

Although Qi Yunlong received a personal response from Xu Anqiang, the political commissar of the Armed Forces Department of the military training base, until now, there was still no sign of the support troops coming over.

What is even more worrying is that after the fog cleared this morning, all communication signals in the entire city have failed, and all modern long-distance communication tools have been almost completely paralyzed, so that government officials have been unable to get in touch with their superiors and senior officials in the field.

After a night of intense confrontation with the continuous blood virus infection, the guards on the side of the Lingzhou Municipal Government Building, both mentally and physically, have reached the limit, especially the weapons and ammunition stored in the Public Security Bureau, which have now been consumed.

If this situation is not alleviated, then in the face of the continuous rush of blood virus infection outside, the defense line around the city hall will be completely breached sooner or later.

……

Fu Li never imagined that one day he would actually pick up a gun and stand at the forefront of a horrific riot, fighting those mutated monsters like walking corpses all night.

You must know that he only graduated from the police academy half a year ago, and became a newcomer to the Lingzhou Public Security Bureau through his family connections.

Fu Li didn't have much to complain about this, he didn't have any ambitions or lofty ideals, he grabbed the iron job now, did his job well, pooled money with his family to buy a car in two years, and then married a beautiful Gu family's wife back, so he lived a stable and fulfilling life as a small citizen, and he was already satisfied.

As for the work in the bureau that fights and kills, fights for merit and grabs rewards, to be honest, he doesn't want to touch it at all, to put it mildly, he is the kind of person who eats and waits for death but enjoys himself.

Originally, everything was fine, but who expected that this sudden and terrifying disaster would instantly change all his life arrangements.

In this regard, Fu Li was completely unprepared.

But the cruel reality forced him to pick up the gun and face those incomparably terrifying mutant monsters.

Although the marksmanship he learned from the police academy has become rusty, when he raised the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger, he regained a trace of blood that he had not lost for a long time, which also helped him overcome his fear and fight off those monster-like blood-breaking virus infections again and again with the police officers around him.

After a night of fighting, in front of the intersection where they blocked and defended, there were already fifty or sixty corpses of people infected with the blood-scarred virus, which were densely scattered all over the road, all with hideous and terrifying faces, with clear bullet holes on their heads, and extremely foul-smelling dark red blood flowing.

But further back on the road, tall and bloated figures were still approaching, facing everyone's bullets, completely fearless of life and death.

"Bastard, why are there so many?!"

"These guys can't be killed!"

"Don't worry, everyone hold on, the rear support troops will arrive soon!"

Killing several of the Bloody Virus infectees who rushed up again, the exhausted crowd rested on the fortifications.

As one of them, looking at the smoke and fog around him, Fu Li, who was pale, felt that his hands holding the gun handle were about to become numb, his body was even more hungry and thirsty, and he felt that he was about to be exhausted, his brain was also buzzing, and his ears were ringing.

Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance slightly, several extremely swift beast shadows suddenly appeared at the intersection ahead, quickly passing over the corpses of those infected with the human blood virus and rushing towards everyone from different directions!
