Chapter 66: The Zombies in the Mountains

Panshan area, Kaitang County, busy traffic, flags like forests, airships cover the sun.

Heavy trucks ran over, and hundreds of thousands of people recruited from all over the alliance used shovels and steel drills in their hands to pave a road leading to Panshan City in Kaitang County with their sweat and lives.

For a whole month before, the central army was frantically attacking this county, and now Kaitang County has finally recovered!

As the gateway of Panshan City, Kaitang County is known as Xiongguan.

This county just blocked the northern road to Panshan City, and there were once nearly 500,000 zombies entrenched in Kaitang County.

In order to kill the zombies in the fastest time, the Central Army did not hesitate to use a large-scale airship force to drop napalm burning bombs on the most dense zombies in Kaitang County during the period of extreme energy shortage!

Napalm burning* bombs are so lethal that even the steel bars inside the building can't withstand the burning, and after a fire swept through, the zombie tide entrenched in the county town was devastated. Except for some high-level mutant zombies with very tenacious vitality, ordinary zombies and low-level mutant zombies have no chance of being spared.

However, the vicious battle in Kaitang County and the final victory did not bring any real benefits to the Central Army.

Destroyed by napalm* burning* bombs, the entire well-preserved modern city was baptized by flames and finally turned into a huge ruin.

The Central Army used a lot of manpower and material resources, consumed a lot of war materials, and in the end only got a huge ruin, what is the gratification? It's just more than worth the loss!

However, in order to join Panshan City with the Southern Army, Long Yuanqing had to make a choice.

It is necessary to reach the outskirts of Panshan City before the Southern Army attacks Panshan City, so that it may have an advantage in future Panshan operations.

Whether it is to cover the friendly forces or to lay down Panshan City and talk about the distribution of interests with Li Runzhi in the future, Long Yuanqing is required to make a quick move. Therefore, the Central Army brazenly used the fuel-short airship troops to destroy the city in exchange for time to march into Panshan City.

Today, Panshan City is close at hand.

Panshan City is a large city, and after military reconnaissance, it is conservatively estimated that there are probably more than three million zombies in the urban area!

What is the concept of three million zombies?

This is no longer comparable to the ordinary zombie tide, if you use the officially defined level to speak, the scale of zombies in Panshan City is a zombie tsunami of more than eight levels.

Zombie Tsunami!

A massive tsunami of three million zombies wants to be wiped out without the use of destructive weapons. What a difficult task it is to take Panshan City without destroying the city's buildings!

However, Long Yuanqing knew that there was no way, and the alliance had no choice.

It is necessary to take the coal and iron resources in the surrounding areas of Panshan City, and use the urban industrial base of Panshan City to quickly produce urgently needed energy products, so as to obtain enough energy materials to support the whole winter war from the second half of the year.

……

The battle order has been issued, and the Central Army is rapidly mobilizing, approaching Panshan City from the north! And to the south of Panshan City, the Southern Army, which has been assembled for a long time, is already gearing up and eager to try! More than 300,000 elite troops are on standby.

The Great War is imminent!

In the urban area of Panshan City, the urban buildings built decades ago still stand in the sunset, but after experiencing the relentless destruction of wind and rain and zombies day and night, they now look quite old.

The long streets of Panshan City are full of zombies.

These zombies, which are extremely ugly and terrifying, stand in groups on the street in a daze, without any movement for a long time. They either look up at the sky, or bury their heads in the ground, and a single movement can be maintained for a long time, like countless clay sculptures that are about to decay. Only the occasional goosebump-inducing roar reminds people that these monsters are "alive".

Do you understand what intensive terror is?

Like the egg holes of the beehive, like the lotus seed eyes of the lotus pod, dense and dense, full of eyes!

A large number of dense and terrifying zombies occupied the streets and alleys of Panshan City, piling up in groups.

If someone dares to walk into this city, believe me, this person will not be killed by zombies, because he has been "smoked" by the monstrous smell of corpses!

In the whole city of Panshan, whether it is the dirty streets, or the rooftops of high-rise buildings, or the aisles of rows of residential houses...... People's Square, national parks, schools, hospitals, Tex, etc., everything, everywhere, has been taken over by zombies. That's right, it's the occupation, it's a city of death, a hell to live out of! The rotting bodies of these zombies, the filthy internal organs, all emit a foul stench, and the stench has gathered together, which has completely spoiled the air.

What a stinky word!

Most of the city is filled with ordinary zombies, these decomposing monsters that are about to shed their human form occupy most of the city, and they can be found in any area and any building, wandering and wandering, like banished wild ghosts, and like lost demons of the abyss.

In addition to ordinary zombies, there are also many mutated low-level zombies in Panshan City. The corpses that have evolved due to the X virus have their body fluids secreted by derivatives to form a stratum corneum, which covers the whole body, leaving muscles and organs unexposed, thus preventing decay.

Instead of decaying, the body continues to mutate under the stratum corneum!

The low-level mutant zombies still have human characteristics, but all of them are burly and majestic, all of their faces have lost their human appearance, their skulls have shown significant mutations, their teeth are anti-dog-like, and their jawbones have become significantly longer. Not only that, but the hind legs of the mutant zombies are very strong, and the knotted muscles are full of strength, reminiscent of the hind legs of kangaroos......

The large number of low-level mutant zombies mixed with the ordinary zombies on the street did not look very inconspicuous, and they each occupied their own positions, biting indiscriminately in the air. If two zombies bite together, then the bloody side is destined to happen, and it is not impossible for one zombie to be bitten by another zombie and bite its face with blood, or eat half of its face.

The streets and buildings are occupied by ordinary zombies and low-level mutant zombies, but there are also some places that ordinary zombies dare not set foot in.

These special areas are very distinct, and if you have aerial photography technology to follow Panshan City from the sky, you will definitely find that there are always many small empty spaces in the city surrounded by a dense zombie tide.

In these empty spaces that are not filled with ordinary zombies and low-level zombies, in a certain corner, there will always be one or two strange-shaped high-level mutant zombies entrenched in it.

These high-level mutant zombies can be called strange species, and due to the disorderly transformation of the X virus, they can be called high-level mutant zombies, and they are all the lucky ones of the X virus creation.

They come in different forms, appearances, fighting styles, and have a variety of special abilities.

These zombies of different shapes live in their own corners, rarely wandering around, and only when they need food, the strange zombies will leave their own corners and go out to hunt. The recipes of the Strange Zombies are very extensive, from the delicious humans to the undelicious zombies, the Strange Zombies don't mind using them as ingredients.

Of course, there aren't many such weird zombies, and they don't care too much about the existence of ordinary zombies, except that they will only attack zombies when they desperately need to replenish food. Therefore, in Panshan City, the number of zombies that have been consumed by "their own zombies" in the past few decades is not too much.

In addition to the high-level zombies of the strange species, in the zombie tide of Panshan City, there are some very eye-catching monsters, that is, giant zombies.

Compared to the size of the strange zombies and the speed mutant zombies, the size of the giant zombies has definitely completely surpassed the scope of humans.

The giant zombie looks like a castle in action, standing in the building world of Panshan City. These giant zombies are five or six meters tall, standing upright like giants, on all fours like primitive chimpanzees, the exoskeleton armor attached to the zombies reveals a sense of heaviness, from a distance, these monsters look like giant apes in armor.

Giant zombies slowly and heavily swim through the congested city, and ordinary zombies who rely on instinct to survive have never been afraid of heaven and earth, but they seem to have a natural sense of fear in the face of giant zombies. When the giant zombies are about to march to the side, these ordinary zombies will instinctively run away to avoid being trampled to death by the giant zombies, but the steps of the giant zombies are huge, and there are always unlucky zombies who are trampled into piles of meatloaf by the giant zombies intentionally or unintentionally.

……

The entire Panshan City is a zombie-infested hellhole, but in a corner of this terrifying city, there is a strange and peaceful place.

It's a small neighborhood.

Compared to the squalor and chaos of Panshan City, this small neighborhood is surprisingly tidy.

The zombies that can be seen everywhere in other congested places do not appear in this neighborhood. As if there was a tacit understanding, all the zombies circled around this small block, not daring to cross the thunder pond for half a step.

Not only that, but on the streets of the community, there are still a few zombies wearing cleaner costumes who are constantly walking, and the zombies are raising their brooms, mops, and towels in their hands to clean the streets in style!

What a terrifying scene!

The zombies with rotting faces are actually cleaning!

Looking at the walls of this street, there are countless bizarre graffiti. These patterns, which are painted on the walls with chalk, oil paint, and paint, have a striking visual impact.

Like Van Gogh, Picasso and Nietzsche's interpretation of magical reality, the graffiti on these walls seems to be deeply understood.

Pay attention to the colors on the walls, the flying birdmen, the hideous zombies, the gray-and-white city, the fantastical images...... There are also some things that cannot be said, but they are vividly painted on the walls.
