Chapter 82: A Tragic War
The barrels of the guns in everyone's hands were already hot, and the smell of gunpowder smoke on the wall rushed straight into the nose, and the sound of gunfire made the zombies attack like crazy, and more zombies poured out of the forest, killing the root of the wall and then stacking up, although their legs and feet were not developed, they could not stand the large number!
The soldiers fired violently as if they were crazy, and the bullets had already shown a visible "bullet net", covering the corpses who did not know whether they were alive or dead, and countless corpses exploded into scum in front of their eyes, and their corpses fell weakly to the ground, becoming the stepping flesh of a new wave of corpses.
"Zhu Hong, can the shells on the chariot be used?" I ran to Zhu Hong, who was sweeping with a machine gun, and shouted in his ear, and the gunfire shook so loudly that we couldn't hear each other at all.
Zhu Hong lowered his gun, pointed at the wall and shouted, "The corpses are piled up in the corner, even if you pull the chariot out and fire at them, it will blow up the city wall!" Now the shells are useless! ”
Now that I understand, it's no wonder that he keeps shooting with red eyes.
The more corpses, the faster the remaining zombies climb, the corpse pile becomes very thick, even almost reaching the height of the city wall, a few times I saw the ugly faces of the zombies getting closer and closer to me, and my heart began to panic, but fortunately, they were suppressed again and again by the fire of the gun, as long as they were mortal fetuses, even if they lost their sense of pain, they would still be torn apart by bullets to tear open their bodies and brains, and completely lose their vitality and real death.
The last bullet was ejected, and I tried to change the magazine, but I found that the box was empty, so I looked at the others in a hurry, and found that there were already many people with empty guns and anxiously looking around, and the ammunition was finally out of ammunition!
"Everyone in a group of five, form a battle formation, and never let the zombies climb up!" Zhu Hong roared, and the others quickly looked for their teammates, and they all held the cold weapons they were carrying in their hands and pointed out of the city wall.
I was in another group with Canaan, Gu Muli, Zhu Hong and Tang Xiao, Zhu Hong and Gu Muli were standing in the middle, facing us in front of the corpse ladder, and I and Canaan, Tang Xiao covered the two of them.
As soon as the strafing stopped, the zombies rose faster, but fortunately they didn't climb all over the walls, but in the form of columns, which made it easier for us to break them down in a team.
The pile of corpses is trapezoidal, the base is very wide and thick, the number of zombies is gradually decreasing, at the top there are only three or four zombies being lifted up, they shoulder the enthusiasm of countless companions, striding towards the city wall, every gesture is like Dong Cunrui who bombed the bunker alone, desperate for himself, a few of us each locked a zombie who was not afraid of death, and even split with thorns, cutting these heroic guys and falling to the bottom of the corpse pile.
But the zombies are constantly climbing upwards, these four or five heads fall, and immediately four or five more are replenished, endlessly, we are like a group of robots, endlessly waving weapons, again and again, the high degree of tension makes me ignore the oncoming corpse smell and arm tiredness, I have only one thought in my heart, I must not let the zombies in front of me climb up from this gap in me! Never!
I don't know how long it took to slash like this, time seems to be frozen, has Hong Jian been found? Zhang Xiaomei, are Thunderstorm and Adam safe and sound? Are the elderly and children in the family anxious? Are the townspeople ready to move? I didn't think about it at all, except for the mechanical, constantly waving the katana in the center of my hand, slashing all the zombies that rushed in front of me out of the city wall.
It was suddenly empty, and I was still slashing forward by inertia, not daring to stop, for I was afraid that once I stopped, I would no longer have the strength to swing the long knife.
A pair of warm hands fell on his shoulders, "Duoduo, Duoduo, you can stop!" "It's Canaan.
He pressed my arm and calmed me down, and when I stopped, I felt that because I was holding the knife too tightly, my tiger's mouth was now hot, and my arm suddenly trembled, it was the kind of uncontrollable trembling, and with a bang, the long knife fell to the ground of the city wall, but fortunately it didn't fall outside the wall!
Canaan bent down to pick up the long knife for me and thrust it into the scabbard behind my back, "There aren't many zombies left, they don't have enough to climb the walls now, we have won this battle!" ”
Dingqing looked outside the city wall, and sure enough, there were not many zombies that could still move, and those that would pile up outside the city wall were almost all corpses, they were motionless, zombies would not pretend to be dead, if they died, they were really dead.
Whew~ I sat on the wall, and the strength of my whole body disappeared, "Let's fight, how long have we been fighting?" I struggled to ask Tang Xiaoyou, and I knew that he was used to wearing watches.
"An hour and twenty minutes." Tang Xiao replied again.
"More than an hour, I thought it was a century." I tried to squeeze out a smile, everyone was tired, but the men still didn't dare to relax, and they were still lying on the wall and guarding outside.
"Husband, zombies will climb the wall, is our good life over?" I suddenly want to cry, it's only been a few days? In the last days, as long as the monster of zombies is not eliminated, we don't want to return to the comfortable life of the past! The more I think about it, the more I feel angry, and I am so troubled that I really want to cry out loud.
"They are also hungry, although the zombies have low IQ, but they are just like animals, they will give birth to some subconscious skills because of predation." Canaan reluctantly pinched my shoulder, "Duoduo, you won't be so negative, will you?" Just because they can climb walls doesn't mean that humanity is going to perish, and if they have a new move, we will definitely be able to think of a solution! ”
"Think now, think now!" I'm an anxious person, and I can't feel at ease for a minute in such an insecure environment.
"It's still necessary to raise the city wall, ten meters, for the zombies who can build the corpse ladder, it's really a little shorter." Canaan stretched out his head and looked under the city wall, "There are not eight thousand zombies here this time, but also ten thousand, if tens of thousands, I can't tell if I can resist with cold weapons." ”
"By the way, Xiaomei, are they back? If Hong Jian's scum can be caught, we can be considered to be safe. I struggled to my feet, though my legs were still shaking slightly.
Looking around, I didn't see the three of them, lying on the city wall and searching for the forest, hey, I saw it! In the gaps between the branches and leaves, the white protective suits loomed, they were still outside, they hadn't come back yet, I'm afraid they hadn't found the culprit!
Medlo walked over with a tired face and leaned heavily against the parapet, "Do you want to raise the wall again?" The clay for brick making is no longer enough, and if you want to make that kind of clay, you have to work in the mountains farther away. There is also cement, which has been used up last time to cover this wall. ”
"Then, what about all the transfer to the pot cover mountain?" My heart is hairy, if the city wall is too low, I live in a small town and I feel like I am running naked, can I sleep in peace in the future?
"Guogai Mountain is only suitable for temporary shelter, so many people can't live for a long time on the top of that mountain, how can there be open space on the mountain that can grow food? If we are trapped in the mountains by hundreds of thousands of zombies, we will all starve to death in the end. "Medlow was very thoughtful about going up the mountain.
"What then?" I almost cried, damn Hong Jian, you're just on the bar with our two towns, huh? When is the time for retribution? The world is so big, can't you go anywhere else?
"Don't panic...... Canaan will only comfort him, but he can't think of a specific way.
"Why does he hate us so much? Didn't we just end him up with a black dog gang? He has the ability to bewitch people, go out and pull people to build a black bear gang, what do you love to help, what do you want to do with us? "I pulled Canaan like a child and spit out.
"I think if he only targets Chunmanmei Town, maybe he has too much chicken thief, and he has to take revenge, but you also encountered a group of corpses in Seven Star Town, if that group of corpses was also summoned by Hong Jian, I suspect that his purpose is not revenge, but a test." Canaan was indeed calmer than I was, and had already begun to analyze.
"What a quiz? A quiz to summon zombies? Wasn't this a success? What else is he trying to prove? ”
"To test your ability to manipulate zombies step by step, don't you think that zombies will suddenly cooperate to climb the wall, maybe they have got some kind of inspiration?"
"You just said that they will increase their predatory skills like animals, what is the situation?" I'm a little anxious, but Canaan just laid it all out.
"Both possibilities exist, I hope it's the result of Hong Jian's manipulation," Canaan took a deep breath, "If the zombies of the world know how to learn and progress because of the lack of food sources, it will not be good news for all of humanity." ”
I was stunned, although the zombies have a low IQ, they still have an IQ, even if it is an animal, it also has the ability to learn, so it is reasonable for the zombie to suddenly learn a certain ability that is not complicated.
Do we still have a way to live?
Adam came back, they really didn't find Hong Jian's figure, Zhang Xiaomei and Thunderstorm were unwilling, still wearing protective clothing to search outside, and let Adam come back early to report and rest, among the three, Adam's skills are the most ordinary, and he really met Hong Jian is not an opponent, so the two chose to continue to search outside.
In order to put an end to the hidden dangers outside, everyone opened the gate, walked out of the city wall, and slaughtered all the remaining zombies lingering next to the corpse pile, preventing them from forming a team to climb the wall in the middle of the night.
The corpses were piled up outside the city walls to form a natural staircase, and we continued to carry them to the incineration site despite the fatigue, but it was getting late, and it was impossible to burn the corpses today, so we had to pile them on the ground haphazardly.
As for the city walls being cleaned up, even if the corpses come again at night, they have to be stacked from the beginning.
God open your eyes, this night, don't come to the big corpse group again! I don't know if the others will be able to fight in their spirits, I just know that my body is falling apart.
No matter how tired I am, there are still people in each brigade who take the initiative to patrol the city wall at night, I definitely can't do it, I didn't sign up, of course, the patrol team is divided into three groups, and they change shifts every few hours, so that everyone can get a chance to rest.
Zhang Xiaomei and Thunderstorm finally returned in a huff, empty-handed.
