Chapter 63: One Man! One city!
"Retreat, retreat!"
Lieutenant General Lin took the pager and yelled at all the commanders below.
The attack of the mutant zombies made the army completely lose its advantage. In the absence of other weapons with a wide range of lethality like missiles, bullets have no effect at all against those mutated zombies except for low-level zombies.
Two hundred awakened people may be able to fight against the mutant zombies, but the number of mutant zombies is too large, and if they continue to fight, the ace army may be in danger of being wiped out.
The ace troops are the current top combat power of the Vault, and if they all die here, then the Vault will have no hope!
The plan to stop the Zombie Tide has failed, and the only way now is to retreat to the Vault and use the Vault's existing defenses to fight the Zombie Tide!
All the troops sat in the cars, and although everyone was afraid, the retreat was orderly.
Unlike the previous advance troops, this retreat, covered by the fire of more than two dozen helicopter gunships and tanks, everyone was able to quickly escape and rush towards the shelter.
First ordinary soldiers, then Awoken troops, and finally tanks and helicopters.
The army quickly retreated to the rear, and the terrifying tide of corpses surged like a tsunami.
At this time, suddenly, there was a roar like thunder from the corpse tide, and I saw a mutated zombie suddenly soar into the air, and the whole body jumped directly into the sky. At that moment, its mouth opened abruptly, its tongue stretched out like rubber, and then it went straight through the glass directly in front of a helicopter.
The pilot was directly pushed to death in his seat, and the plane suddenly lost control and fell straight from the sky.
"Boom!"
The plane fell into the crowd of corpses, emitting a violent explosion, and the intense flames tore all the zombies in the vicinity to pieces in an instant, but in a few seconds, they were drowned.
Looking at the downed helicopter, everyone was stunned. Because in the helicopter, sitting was the commander-in-chief of the operation, Lieutenant General Lin.
"General!"
At this moment, countless people wept.
But at this time, even if there is endless sadness in the heart, it can only be suppressed in the heart. They must hurry back to the shelter, where it is, the last position.
At the same time as the army retreated, the command of the shelter also received the news, and everyone fell silent.
The task of stopping the advance of the corpse tide has failed, and there is no way back for everyone.
It didn't take long for the gates to open, and the retreating soldiers quickly poured into the shelter. All were pale and haggard.
In the face of the terrifying corpse tide, everyone felt a deep powerlessness in their hearts.
In the process of retreating, almost half of the soldiers were drowned by the tide of corpses, and now there are only more than 600 of the more than a thousand, and the awakened have also died more than fifty people.
At this time, Commander Luo and Commander Guan, accompanied by several lieutenant generals, had already climbed the city wall.
Looking up, the sky and the earth are clear and cloudless. However, the black and oppressive corpse tide on the edge of the sky was like a big stone, pressing on everyone's hearts, making everyone breathless.
Commander Luo's rickety back was as straight as a javelin at this moment, and there was an aura of non-anger and self-authority in front of him, and he quietly looked at the tide of corpses less than two kilometers away from the shelter, and his face did not change at all.
"How many rockets are left?"
"Not much!" Guan Zhonghua's face was gloomy, his fists were clenched, and he said: "The disaster came too suddenly, our weapon reserves are not much, most of the shelters have been used to clean up the zombies, and the existing reserves are only less than half!"
Commander Luo nodded, squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that we are really fighting against the water." The minefields have not yet been laid out, but they should be able to hold them back for a while. We don't have much time, we have to stop the tide of corpses in the minefield, or we will really lose! ”
"Understood!" Guan Zhonghua nodded vigorously and said.
"Commander Guan, you go and evacuate the refugees in the base, and if necessary, activate the final defense and close the bomb shelter!" Commander Luo commanded to Commander Guan.
Commander Guan was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes!"
Although the two of them fought endlessly, at the critical juncture, Commander Luo, after all, was the supreme commander, and in the face of the overall situation, he was in charge of China.
"You are in charge of your own defense nodes, and nothing can be wronged. Be sure to hold on! "Yes!"
Commander Luo looked calm and issued orders one after another in an orderly manner, and this calm bearing infected everyone present, and everyone gradually calmed down and stuck to their posts
The tide of corpses two kilometers away quickly rushed to the shelter. The first wave of sniping they encountered was a minefield.
The minefield has not yet been fully laid out, but it is still functional. At the moment when the corpse tide poured in, countless mines exploded instantly, and the huge shock wave directly blew away all the zombies in front. At this moment, Commander Luo quietly looked at the corpse tide in front of him and ordered, "Launch!"
As soon as the sound fell, hundreds of rockets were fired at the base at the same time, dragging narrow flames and whistling into the tide of corpses.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The earth-shattering explosion sounded as if it was about to tear the entire heaven and earth apart, countless rockets exploded at the same time, and the huge energy spread rapidly in a hemispherical shape, and the entire earth trembled slightly.
In an instant, when I opened my eyes, the entire corpse tide was suddenly torn apart by this round of bombardment, and a large number of low-level zombies were killed one after another. The number of corpses disappeared by a third at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The power of rockets is terrifying, but after this round of salvos, there is not much left, and it will take a certain amount of time to reload ammunition, so there is no rocket attack during this time.
Although the number of corpses has decreased a lot, most of the dead are just low-level zombies. A large number of low-level zombies have been eliminated, and the true terrifying side of the corpse tide has finally been revealed.
In the surging tide of corpses, countless mutated zombies rushed out of it. Each of them was strangely shaped, some were extremely tall, like giants, and some were all wrapped in white bones, like demons.
These mutated zombies began to accelerate, impacting, like the vanguard of wartime, riding war horses, like a sharp knife, directly into the enemy's abdomen.
"Not good!" Commander Luo's face changed, and he exclaimed.
He didn't expect that in the tide of corpses, there were so many mutated zombies, although the minefield stopped them for a while, and the next wave of rockets had not yet been loaded, but these mutated zombies had already rushed out of the minefield.
Their speed suddenly became extremely fast, leaving those low-level zombies far behind.
On the lookout behind the city walls, dozens of heavy weapons were roaring wildly, and countless bullets were pouring down, forming a terrifying metal storm.
However, bullets don't have much effect on these mutated zombies.
A large number of mutant zombies have fallen, but more mutated zombies have rushed to the perimeter of the city walls.
Everything has reached the most critical moment.
At the same time, a large number of refugees were sent into bomb shelters in batches.
And in a difficult place, Xia Ke, Ling Wenwen, and they have all gathered together. In such a chaotic situation, it is not easy for everyone to find each other.
At this moment, however, the joy of reunion has been overwhelmed by fear. All were at a loss and hopeless about the future.
It was at this moment that they suddenly saw a familiar figure, peeling through the crowd and rushing towards them.
It's Cao Silong.
His leg injury was not healed, and he was still on crutches, so he did not go to the front line to fight, but hid in the bomb shelter with everyone.
However, at this moment, his face was full of anxious looks.
"You guys, did you see Duan Fei?" He ran up to the crowd and asked aloud.
"Duan Fei!" Xia Ke was slightly stunned, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.
"No, we didn't see Brother Duan, could it be that Brother Duan is gone!" Hearing the news that I was missing, Ling Wenwen suddenly became nervous.
"None of you have seen it?" Cao Silong confirmed again.
"Nope!" Everyone shook their heads.
Seeing everyone's expressions that didn't seem to be lying, Cao Silong's face suddenly sank, he hurriedly turned around, there was still a fierce battle on the city wall, and the worry on his face also turned into a panic.
"Suffered!" Cao Silong roared. Just now he found that several sabers in the arsenal had disappeared, and in his heart, he seemed to have guessed something.
At the same moment, the battle for the defense of the shelter had reached its most tragic time, and some of the city walls that were attacking a large number of mutant zombies, and the city walls that had not yet been completed were already crumbling.
"Commander, hurry up, this place is about to be untenable!" A young soldier was pulling Commander Luo and trying to drag him off the city wall.
However, Commander Luo's expression was calm, his body did not waver in the slightest, and there was a look of determination in his eyes.
"Commander!" Seeing that Commander Luo was not leaving, the little soldier's eyes suddenly turned red. And the other soldiers who were fighting, one by one, were red-eyed, tears came out of their eyes, and they pulled the trigger frantically.
At this moment, a mutant zombie suddenly rose into the sky and rushed directly onto the city wall.
Its ability is to jump, and it can easily jump over the barriers of the city walls.
After it rushed up, it rushed straight towards Commander Luo, its big mouth was already open, and the next moment, it could directly bite off Commander Luo's neck.
"Commander!"
Seeing this scene in front of them, everyone shouted frantically, however, they had no time to rescue.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the air caused by the air being slashed. I saw a saber cut through the sky like a bullet, directly hitting the head of this mutant zombie, nailing him to the wall.
"Duan, little brother Duan Fei, why are you!" Seeing Duan Fei who appeared on the city wall, Commander Luo's brain was still a little confused, and he asked incredulously.
At that moment just now, he was ready to die calmly, but he didn't expect to be rescued by Duan Fei at this critical moment.
Duan Fei's black hair was flying, and several sharp sabers were stuck in his waist, while Jin Bao was lying quietly on his shoulder, his eyes had turned red.
This is a sign of readiness for battle.
Duan Fei pulled the saber off the zombie, smiled at Commander Luo, and said, "Commander, you and I are allied, how can I let you die like this!" Leave the rest to me......"
"Duan Fei, what stupid things are you talking about, how can you ......"
Commander Luo had just opened his mouth and was about to scold, but Duan Fei directly stretched out his hand to interrupt his next words.
"Commander, rest assured, my strength is far beyond your imagination. Next, I need you to let the army cover for me, the corpse tide, I'll deal with it! ”
After speaking, Duan Fei didn't wait for Commander Luo to disagree, and jumped directly from the city wall.
"Jinbao, are you ready?" Duan Fei clenched the saber in his hand and shouted in a low voice.
"Goo, goo!"
"I didn't expect that I would have a person who faced the entire corpse tide on this day!" At this moment, Duan Fei showed a firm smile on his face, and he no longer hid his strength, and the terrifying momentum exploded from him.
At dusk, zombies are besieged. Guns roared, and humanity was plunged into despair.
Duan Fei was alone, facing the entire corpse tide.
One person, one city!
