Chapter 81: A Pyrrhic Victory

4,000 people, equivalent to about 10 percent of the total number of citizens in a bustling neighborhood in Los Angeles.

It doesn't sound like a big number, but when it comes to the form of a fugitive, it's shocking.

This is because unlike the space in the hotel lobby, where space is limited, you can stretch your body in the wilderness according to your wishes, so from the visual point of view, the number of 'refugees' seems to have expanded several times or even more than ten times, and the impact on people's hearts has naturally expanded a lot.

At the beginning of the hotel, Zhang Longchu played the role of an ordinary student traveler, and after revealing his identity as an extraordinary person, he devoted most of his attention to collecting souls, and did not pay attention to anything else at all, so he had no intuitive impression of the number of fugitives.

So when he stood on the high steps of the hotel foyer and saw the boundless crowd, he was stunned.

Later, when I came back to my senses, I found that the fugitives in front of me were strangely divided into more than ninety percent of the total number, and their clothes were ragged, and they had become very thin because of the torture, but because they had just eaten a full meal and had the hope of escaping, they were refreshed, and a weak smile still appeared on their faces;

and the two types of people who have not yet accounted for less than one percent of the total, who have obviously not lost much weight than before, and whose clothes are relatively clean, and who have not left too many negative traces on their bodies during this miserable period of sleep, Zhang Longchu couldn't help but show a stunned look on his face, but he couldn't think of the reason for a while.

It wasn't until he found the two adoptive sisters who were among the 'Corriton' students and overheard about it that he heard a reasonable guess from the shrewd Celia. "It's hard to guess Long Chu, who can travel to the conqueror theme park in the different planes. The chances of a big shot appearing are high.

Every guest is required to fill out a detailed personal information before coming to the park, and the average wealthy class or wealthy rich man has such a serious accident in the park. There is nothing to say about how to be tossed, even if you are lucky enough to escape and file a lawsuit in the future, it will be easy to solve.

However, if a person born in a real political and business family is controlled by the administrators of the park to stay in a 'livestock pen' with a restricted diet, once he succeeds in escaping, the ensuing revenge may make some people feel that it is better to die here.

You see, in addition to me and Rosa, who have eaten and slept well these days, Barbara, John, and Caroline are also living quite well. Isn't it.

This is class, and in civilized society it represents the car, the dwelling, the restaurant where we usually eat;

In times of crisis, it represents a life-sustaining diet, a safe situation and a higher hope of escape. ”

Listening to Celia's endless explanation so thoroughly, Zhang Longchu paused for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Wow, Celia, how did you think of these."

Ha, no wonder everyone thinks that you will become a politician in the future, and the structure of your brain is indeed different from ordinary people like me. ”

"You're no ordinary person. Otherwise, when everyone was unlucky, they were lucky enough to be temporarily hired by the park management at a sky-high price of 500,000 meters per day. Celia joked casually, lowered her voice and said solemnly: "Listen to Long Chu, although I don't know what your superpower level is. But I can guess that it is definitely not worth 500,000 a day's compensation.

This is especially true when everyone has to be in the same boat, and you have to do your best, even if you don't hire you.

So according to my speculation. The reason why the park management will tempt you with such a price that normal people can't refuse. There must be another purpose, such as ordering you to be cannon fodder at a critical moment. Or get out of danger and become scapegoats, but I don't know exactly how they will operate.

Anyway, dear brother, you really shouldn't have promised to be a temporary security supervisor for a reward that has not yet been fulfilled, and put your future into account..."

"Celia, if I didn't agree to their conditions at the beginning, maybe we wouldn't have a future at all..."Somewhat impatient with his adoptive sister's preaching, Zhang Longchu deliberately exaggerated, but he didn't expect this sentence to unexpectedly arouse Celia's approval.

The girl's body stiffened, with a strange look on her face, she looked at Zhang Longchu and was silent for a while, and muttered: "Yes, Longchu, if it weren't for you, Rosa and I might have died in the hotel lobby due to the epidemic by now."

If you think about it, a large part of the reason you said yes was because we agreed..."

Inexplicably, she felt that Celia's gaze at her was very uncomfortable, and Zhang Longchu pouted and interrupted her, "Okay, Celia, I feel that the time to leave is almost up, and I am going back to the security team."

You and Rosa must take care, don't panic when the corpses attack, you may not see me, but I will always pay attention to protect you. With a wave of his hand, he turned around and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Ten minutes later, he finally found Jones, who was standing with William and talking in a low voice, and then received the same order as Jones, to play the role of a 'free man' when he encountered a crowd of corpses on the way to escape.

By the moment the ranks of the fugitives had been reorganized into the shape of a frying rectangular pancake, 4,000 men staggered into a column of 30 men and a column of about 130 men, loosely populated with heavily armed security guards and cars full of food and fresh water.

And Zhang Longchu's so-called 'free man' role, in the ancient Chinese art of war, there is a proper noun to describe that is, in the center, that is, there is no fixed defensive position, and there is no need to be easily dispatched when encountering an enemy attack, only when there is a hole in the defense of a certain place in the queue, he needs to make up for it.

Although William's various arrangements are not a wonderful tactical arrangement, they are completely decent, but it is a pity that they are dealt with by a theme park motley security guard who has not had an accident for decades, and a mysterious aristocratic powerhouse with a long and strange civilization inheritance and the regular army under his command are just a joke in the final analysis.

Like beggars, the sour clothes cover their heads and obscure their vision, and the staggering and slow-moving fugitives only managed to walk a distance of about 3 or 4 kilometers to learn a more terrible lesson than being trapped in the lobby of a hotel in the eastern side of the park.

First, the earth under the feet cracked, and countless mud-stained palms burst out of the ground, or grabbed the fugitive's ankles, or carried them on the ground as a point of focus, struggling to reveal the carrion-strewn head and upper half of the body;

Immediately afterwards, countless horsemen who looked like rhinoceros, but were small in size, covered in bronze mottled metal heavy armor, even their heads were covered in helmets, and cavalry with hooked spears more than 3 meters long lined up in loose battle formations, constantly rushing from all directions;

Finally, in the distance, a large group of hoplites and thousands of elite infantry with shields in their right hands and scimitars about four feet long in their left hands gathered around a monster that was like a small mountain, with a thick crust and a turtle head and turtle claws, slowly pressing towards the fugitive.

On the back of the huge mountain-like monster stood a man with a red silk as smooth as water, still shining dimly in the afternoon sun, wrapped around his body like a shroud, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.

The man watched the battle like a wolf, giving the terrifying impression of waiting for the queue of survivors to collapse, and then immediately turning his intimidating forces into sharp blades to reap the fruits of victory, slaying all enemies.

Fortunately, the desperate days of being trapped in the hotel could not help but torture the bodies of the fugitives, and also sharpened their will, although it was chaotic, but these old and weak women and children with table legs, split into strips, and small bronze statues did not succumb to the fear in their hearts, and fled in all directions, but frantically smashed the objects in their hands into the heads of the living corpses that came out of the ground.

Therefore, although from time to time people were pounced on by living corpses, gnawed, scratched, and pinched, the situation was gradually brought under control.

And because the queue of fugitives in the hotel lobby did not collapse, the security guards who met the enemy with powerful long and short guns, plasma bombs, and laser launchers on the periphery also held the position, and after easily shooting the living corpses under their feet, they used barrage and plasma torrents to stop the onslaught of the heterotopic cavalry.

In this way, the living corpses driven by the earth fugitives and the Yin Karen nobles fought comparably;

The hoplites from the Terterogeneous Plane and their mounts seemed to have lost their sense of pain and fear, charging even if their limbs were broken and their flesh was splashed, using the equipment of the Cold Weapon Age with an unbelievable horror fighting spirit, and fighting with the Earth security guards armed with modern weapons, so that the entire battle situation fell into a stalemate.

In this situation, as long as the troops gathered around the giant beast launched a desperate attack, the victory rate of the Yin Karon people was at least 8 percent or more.

Unexpectedly, after careful observation, the mysterious figure standing on the back of the giant beast wrapped in silk slowly sat down, driving the giant beast below him to stop, slowly turned around, and disappeared into the sunset with the clustered army.

At the same time, the living corpses that had been constantly burrowing out of the ground and the heavy armored cavalry charging around them became more and more sparse, and finally disappeared without a trace.

So in the wails of being out of strength, injured, and dying, the earthlings were extremely lucky to win the first field battle, at the cost of 5% mortality and 15% injury.

After the war, he turned into a giant wolf just now, sometimes shuttling quickly among the fugitives, smashing the heads of living corpses;

Zhang Longchu, who sometimes turned the heterotopic cavalry that broke through the barrage of the security barrage into corpses on the periphery of the queue, immediately returned to his human form, casually picked up a piece of torn clothes and wrapped it around his waist, with a half-truth and half-truth expression on his face, avoiding Jones's gaze, pretending to examine his injuries, and swallowing the soul of a deceased into his abdomen.

When he finally gathered the weight of the fourth growth of the strange thing, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and turned around and walked towards the combat uniform that he had thrown on the car in front of him. (To be continued.) )
