Chapter Forty-Nine: The Way Back and the Decision

Wu Long looked at the collapsed road with a sad face, this huge area of the collapse buried his most elite two hundred soldiers, and at the same time made the mound where the lower city was located a depression.

Billowing smoke and dust rose from the ground, and a fishy yellow wind blew in the wilderness, and the wind carried a strong smell of blood, which was the blood of dead warriors.

The battle, which lasted from early morning to early afternoon, finally ended in the complete defeat of the attacking side, but the lower city also suffered huge losses, and they cut themselves off the way back. After this war, whether or not the lower city is conquered or destroyed, the lower city settlement is destined to decline. Because the war destroyed the environment on which the lower city depended, the alloy gate that blocked the zombie attack, the survival resources of the lower city base, and the population.

Wu Long's eyes were red, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and his long inky hair was windless, which was his expression of anger to despair.

"General, retire the army, leave the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood, and besides, these mongrels underground can't get out by themselves, so they can only die inside." A subordinate pleaded.

The few remaining aides also agreed in unison.

Wu Long looked at these generals under him as if he were looking at a stranger. He pointed to the ground: "You mean, the bones of these comrades-in-arms below, just ignore it?" ”

Wu Long blocked everyone's mouths with a word, yes, after this war, the garrison on the north bank of Fangjia Village was greatly damaged, and many elite veterans had died in battle. For this army, which only has a sense of collective pride, the enemy has not perished, and this battle will be over.

Wu Long walked out of the hollow and came to the open area, looking at the remaining soldiers under his command. At this point, the battle loss rate of the troops was close to 50%, and the morale of the troops was extremely low.

Wu Long shouted: "Sons, you have seen that we have suffered a great defeat in this war, and I am very saddened by this. ”

All the soldiers looked up at their leader, wondering what message their most noble leader was going to deliver.

"Today we lost a lot of comrades, and just last night, we were still sitting together and enjoying life. But now that they have left us forever, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have started this war and brought innocent casualties, I'm guilty. Wu Long took off his military hat and complained to himself.

All the soldiers present showed sadness on their faces, and their hearts, which had been numbed by the war, were filled with emotion again.

"Now, there are two paths before you, waiting for you to choose. First, end this damn battle immediately, return to the Fangjia Village settlement, and continue to guard the north shore and your own settlement.

The second is to dig underground tunnels with me, and then send those guys who go down to the city to hell! The choice is yours. Wu Long used all his strength to finish the last words.

The soldiers looked at their leader, their eyes getting hotter and hotter, and finally someone shouted, "We want revenge!" The blood of the war warriors was completely aroused at this time, and the cry of revenge resounded in the sky.

Wu Long looked at his soldiers and nodded with satisfaction, he took the matching gun from the hand of the attendant officer, flicked the chamber, and aimed it at the subordinate who had just persuaded him to retreat. The subordinate was stunned and screamed for his life, and he was at a loss for what to do until he died.

"Don't blame me for not giving you a chance to leave, from now on, either the whole army will be destroyed, or the city will be destroyed, and the war will not end! Those who dare to have two hearts should be so! Wu Long pointed his gun at the corpse on the ground.

"Everyone is divided into three groups, dig the tunnel, and after the opening, we will go in and kill all of them, and we will not let any of them go!" Wu Long roared angrily.

"Kill them all, and leave not one behind."

"Kill them all, and leave not one behind." The soldiers raised their arms and shouted.

Inside the lower city, the battlefield was being cleaned at this time, and all the corpses were dragged to a remote and vacant room in the storage area and stacked up. Because there was no place to dig graves in the lower city, and there was no air circulation and no cremation could be practiced, in order to avoid possible plagues and diseases, the only room to stack the corpses was to be chosen, and then the long term was considered.

There was no condition to distinguish between the corpses of the enemy and the enemy, and the stumps and broken arms were collected together. When these people are alive, they fight you to the death, with you and without me, I can't imagine that in the end, we will be buried together after death, you have me and I have you, I can't tell the difference, fate is really a prank.

Although the residents of the lower city worked hard and did not want to think, the panic was still spreading, the gates were blown up, and the whole settlement was facing a dilemma. If you can't get out, it won't be long before the settlement collapses and dies in famine and riot. Even though the lower town has a good air filtration system and water circulation, it still can't withstand the shortage of food. Even if the food stored in the lower city can last for a period of time, but there is no way out, there is no replenishment, and it is still inevitable to die.

So at noon, when the food was distributed, serious looting began to occur in the living quarters of the lower town. Under Lin Er's interference, the members of the city defense team all used thunderous means to kill him to set an example.

But the more terrifying the means, the more the fear of the people in the lower city settlements was deepened, and the panic in the hearts of the dead had spread before the plague of the dead had begun. For this reason, Hu Kaiqing had to come forward and say that after the end of the war, he would open up the connection between Xiacheng and the outside world as soon as possible.

Father Hu has extraordinary personal beliefs in Xiacheng, and only when he goes out to quell the turmoil can he stabilize the military spirit in Xiacheng.

In the control room, Lao Zhao and Lin He were guarding in front of the camera, and the few monitors were erected in the hilly position in the distance, and they couldn't see where Xiacheng was. But one thing that can be confirmed is that these enemies did not return from the same route, or rather, they did not intend to go at all. This worries the leaders of the Lower Settlement, and the battle doesn't seem to be over at all.

"You have to tell you to go down, repair the bunkers, arrange guards, and be ready to continue fighting." Lin He said.

Lao Zhao nodded: "Don't look for me during this time, I'll start the destruction system in the lower city, as for you, if you want to leave, I will stop you, but Wang Qiang, you have to take me out!"

"I know, don't worry. I won't give up until the last minute, the outside world is so difficult, there is no better place to live than the lower city. Lin He said.

Lao Zhao shook his head, sighed, turned around and remotely controlled the locomotive and slowly left.

Wang Qiang was assisting everyone in cleaning up the battlefield, when Lao Zhao drove a motorcycle to his side: "Qiang doll, come here, I'll tell you something." ”

After speaking, Lao Zhao turned around and went to a corner where no one was. Wang Qiang had some doubts, but he still liked to listen to Lao Zhao's words, so he put down the work in his hand and followed Lao Zhao to the corner.

"Strong doll, you must remember what I said now, and then rot in your heart." Lao Zhao gave a serious explanation.

"Let's talk about Lao Zhao, I can't tell if it's going to be over tomorrow, where do you get so many secrets." Wang Qiangqiang grinned.

"Listen to me, if the lower city really can't be held, you take your little daughter-in-law and her relatives to room B-7 in the storage area, and through room B-7, there is a secret door with a code in the innermost. The password is xxxxxxxx, remember this password, after opening it, I will wait for you inside. Remember, don't tell anyone who doesn't matter. ”

Wang Qiang heard some clues, but he didn't seem to understand the root cause, so he nodded in a tiger's head.

Lao Zhao looked at the son of his beloved friend, and said quite lovingly: "You have to remember that you are still young, don't bury yourself for the sake of going down to the city, your future is in the vast world." ”

Wang Qiang felt a flash of lightning in his mind, this was the rhythm of Lao Zhao arranging the back road.

Wang Qiang couldn't hide his surprise and shouted loudly: "I'll go, Lao Zhao, I've lived in Xiacheng for more than ten years, and I don't know if there is a ......."

Lao Zhao jumped up from the wheelchair and covered Wang Qiang's mouth, you can't imagine where an old man with both legs amputated came from such an amazing bounce, if it weren't for those direct and teasing eyes, you would definitely be a monkey.

Lao Zhao hung on Wang Qiang, grabbed Wang Qiang's neck with one hand, and covered his big mouth with the other. Although Wang Qiang's mouth is very big, Lao Zhao, who has been practicing machinery all year round, seems to be a little bigger. Lao Zhao covered Wang Qiang's mouth like this, and looked around like a thief with a pair of eyes.

Fortunately, Wang Qiang was not hopelessly stupid, he took Lao Zhao off his body, put him in a wheelchair, and then made a "shhhh

The children can be taught, Lao Zhao thought to himself.

There is still a back door to go to the lower city of the dog, Wang Qiang thought to himself.

After Lao Zhao explained a few words, he quietly left the position and returned to the storage area, and began to tinker with unknown secrets.

The lower city announced the introduction of military control, the food ration was uniform, and the lunch was a synthetic nutritious meal with fresh diced vegetables. Because it was wartime, in order to boost morale, the kitchen of the military district specially killed an old cow that had been raised for three years, and everyone was given some beef. Don't look at the cooked old beef is difficult to chew and knock your teeth, as long as it is fresh meat, it is a supreme delicacy worth enjoying in this era of scarcity.

Sure enough, the noon meal made the short-sighted people of the settlement more harmonious and obedient than ever, and everyone was as docile as a cat, waiting for all kinds of orders.

Hu Kaiqing commanded the fighters in Xiacheng to continue to build fortifications, and the entire preset battlefield was in full swing, with a rapid-fire machine gun set up here and a small bunker set up in that place.

Suddenly, Hu Kaiqing seemed to hear some slight movement. Hu Kaiqing has presided over the exploration of the city in the wild for more than ten years, and his ears are comparable to that of a hunting dog and a spirit fox, as long as he hears the sound, it must be right.

Hu Kaiqing shouted "stop", and everyone stopped in place, looking at Dad in confusion.

Daddy Hu walked slowly to the steel wall, leaned close to the wall with one ear, and listened carefully. When everyone saw Daddy Hu's movements, they all reacted, knowing that Daddy must have discovered something abnormal.
