Chapter 18: Crisis
The National Guard has been moved to defend the more important cities of the north and the new seat of the government, and after no one clears up the growing influx of zombies, the town of Doylston gradually turns into a living hell......
The otaku who don't care about the outside world, the diehards who don't believe what you say on TV and radio, and the optimists who don't take the "rabies crisis" seriously at all, are the first to be killed. As for the rest of the residents, some of them did not take care of the doors despite reinforcing the windows, and when the zombies discovered their existence, their howls and slamming doors quickly attracted more zombies...... Finally, he broke and crushed the door and rushed into the house.
Although they tried to fight back, in fact, no one was able to recapture the house after the zombies broke into the house, and even those who managed to escape for their lives were very rare, and more were killed by the zombies after firing a magazine of bullets...... Someone even detonated grenades and explosives and died with the zombies. Most of the sounds heard by the reincarnators hiding in the shelter at the edge of the town are of this type.
And some of those who hide in sturdy houses are lucky...... But is this really lucky? Dozens or hundreds of zombies are piled up outside the doors and windows screaming, banging, biting, scratching, how do the people trapped inside the house feel?
Not to mention the water and electricity cuts off in a few days, the well-prepared people are fine, but if the unprepared residents - imagine taking all the furniture that can be moved to block the doors and windows, hugging each other in the dark and hugging each other in the sofa or corner, while listening to the roars of zombies outside the window and the sound of "knock knock" on the door and slamming the window, the mind has to wonder: will these ghosts leave before the food and water run out?
The president has been unfortunate enough to be killed by a zombie spree, the entire government has moved north to a small town near the Canadian border, and the entire country has been paralyzed except for the military and the most advanced satellite communications.
――
Compared with the survivors who cowered in the town and endured the suffering, the civilians hiding in this shelter on the edge of the town were simply too lucky, and the zombies around were all killed by the reincarnators like they were robbing money, although there was no high-tech fun in life after the power and network were cut off, but only then could it be reflected how fully the person in charge of preparing the living materials was: in addition to basic needs such as food and water, there were also generators and water filters, and fuel was extremely sufficient; The most amazing thing is that they even have entertainment items ready, all kinds of books, chess and cards, and sports equipment.
While the reincarnators struggle every day with the difficulty of making up their daily averages, the natives of this world are at ease - except that they can't run around, it's like a vacation, and every day they either sleep in their rooms or go up to the rooftops to read a book, play cards, or play ball in the sun......
They didn't understand why this group of Asians were so keen to kill zombies, but they were happy to have someone who held a gun to protect them every day, and one white guy even tried to pursue the white-looking Wen Yu - for the children who grew up in the city, if they couldn't go out and have fun for a long time, not having a heterosexual partner was a disaster.
The girl is just a high school student in her own world, and she belongs to the kind of child who studies seriously and wants to get into a good university, and she is suddenly pursued by a "foreigner" in another world, and she is a little frightened. What's more, as a reincarnation, she is not interested in making friends with someone who is not destined to get along for a long time - after communicating with other reincarnators, she simply claims to be Chen Tao's girlfriend so as not to get into trouble.
――
The occasional explosion in town has stopped, Doylston has fallen completely, and less than a tenth of the survivors are still hiding in their homes.
Eight days have passed, and in order to score, Chen Tao has even practiced the technique of fighting zombies two or three hundred meters away, but the main quest score of the reincarnators is still only 2336, which is already the score obtained when they take turns to guard the roof day and night, contracting almost 90% of the range of zombies - no matter what, they can't blatantly stop other camp members who also want to practice guns to fight zombies.
If this rate continues, they will be missing 3,000 points at the end of the thirty days!
The zombies in the town are gradually spreading slowly along the avenues, most of the world's urban areas have fallen, and according to the news received on the radio, countries in the Middle East and Asia have begun to use nuclear bombs to clean up zombies. And all the U.S. government can do at the moment is to bring the survivors with important identities in the south and central to the sea; and then shrink the country's army to protect the few small cities on the northern coast that have become the base of the new government; At the same time, the residents were advised to move north, withdraw into Canada, and continue north...... It is said that it is safe to go to an area where the temperature is low enough to freeze the water or until winter, because zombies are afraid of low temperatures.
――
On the night of the ninth day, this camp finally ushered in the crisis that would have been breached in history - the entire cities of New York, New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania have all fallen, especially the millions of zombies rushing out of New York City, dozens of kilometers to the northeast, after sweeping half of New Jersey, enveloping the victims of the small towns along the way, the number of them has swelled to tens of millions, of which hundreds of thousands have come in the direction of the reincarnation under the inertia of the leading zombies!
On the night when the vanguard of the zombie tide passed, Zhang Haolin, who was "volunteering" to keep vigil, quickly discovered that something was wrong: the frequency of zombies was obviously higher, and he was almost constantly changing directions on the roof to fight zombies. By about 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, the situation began to get out of control - just within the range of the night vision devices, more than a dozen zombies appeared at the same time, and five or six of them had a keen sense of smell and ran towards the two buildings in this rest area!
The situation is a little weird, although I don't know what's going on, but Zhang Haolin's first reaction is to snicker - according to this zombie density, it is estimated that I can mix a few hundred points tonight!
But after firing dozens of bullets and successfully knocking down a few zombies, the situation quickly turned wrong, and out of the mentality of earning more points, he let the other two people who were supposed to keep vigil with him according to the duty schedule go to sleep, so he was alone on the entire roof at this time.
In the past, at most, only a few zombies approached here at the same time, and it was rare to have one of them reach the bottom of the building, but today after Zhang Haolin cleared the zombies in one direction, there were zombies running under the house in the other three directions at the same time!
World War Z zombies don't fly off walls, they run under the foot of the house and get closer to the muzzle, maybe saving some bullets. It stands to reason that he doesn't need to be nervous, and he can slowly kill them one by one......
But it's not that simple, zombies will howl after finding a target, and the cry will quickly attract other similar people around, if the zombie density is large enough, and one by one relay roars, it can theoretically attract all zombies within a certain range! Not to mention that when they reach the bottom of the house, although they can't get in or climb, they will keep roaring and slamming against the walls or doors and windows downstairs, and the noise they make will attract more zombies......
