Chapter 19: Zombie Siege

Zombies have a swarming effect, which is why the Vault has to arrange for people to kill every zombie that comes close, rather than waiting for a bunch of zombies to gather downstairs to harvest it - if there is a day when the Vault is not firepower enough to quickly clear out the approaching zombies, it is the time for the people in the house to face off with the zombies......

Now it looks like the moment is coming.

Zhang Haolin did not hesitate, immediately put down the gun and went downstairs, went to wake up the other two people who were supposed to be keeping vigil, and then asked them to wake up the others. A few minutes later, all the thirty or so people in the building woke up and came to the roof together. More than twenty zombies had gathered downstairs at this time, and many more were approaching.

"Quick, the best marksman cleans up with a rifle with a silencer!" Tom took the microscopic binoculars and looked at the situation, and immediately became nervous: "I'll contact the people in the opposite building." ”

Although there are hundreds of AKs and hundreds of thousands of bullets in the building, no one dares to use them, and in this silent night, zombies from a kilometer away from the sound of gunfire may be attracted to them. There were only a few rifles with silencers, and more people had to pick up pistols with silencers to participate in the cleanup of the zombies downstairs, while Tom picked up the walkie-talkie and began to contact the evacuees in the opposite building.

The zombie tide is still a few kilometers away, and after everyone makes a move, dozens of zombies roaring and slapping the wall downstairs are quickly cleared, but there are more and more zombies wandering a few hundred meters away, attracted by the fire of people and guns, and the oppressive atmosphere is getting heavier and heavier......

――

"What to do, why did so many zombies suddenly pop up?"

Timos sweated profusely and aimed at the zombies in the distance, and said without looking back: "The others who don't have silenced guns should go back and rest, try to find a way to drag through tonight first, it's really impossible to open fire head-on during the day!" ”

From one o'clock in the middle of the night until dawn, a dozen people continued to shoot at the approaching zombies with little rest, and by the time the sun rose, more than half of the ammunition of the silenced guns had been consumed, and the corpses of hundreds of zombies were already lying densely lying within a hundred meters of the building......

The sun has risen, and the morning sun does not spare its warmth because the world has almost fallen into the hands of zombies, and still begins to shine selflessly on every inch of land. The tide of migrating zombies came into their field of vision, and the overwhelming figure made the hearts of the people who had persevered all night cool - this group of zombies who had trekked from dozens of kilometers away, one after another, walked slowly on the woods, grass and roads...... Because they weren't in a state of predation, they weren't as dense, turbulent, and frantic as the zombies they'd seen in downtown Philadelphia or the outskirts of Doylston, but they felt even more desperate with a different kind of overwhelming momentum......

Those who haven't actually seen it will never have a clear idea of such numbers - a few dozen soldiers can fight a fierce encounter; A street scene with hundreds of passers-by photographed can reflect the congestion of a metropolis with a population of one million; Two or three thousand extras can perform a war blockbuster with a rainbow of momentum; A general with 10,000 young men under his command dares to claim to have an army of 100,000...... For an untrained average person, once the number is so large that the brain can't count it instantly, he will lose his judgment of numbers.

You may also belong to the ordinary people who are not trained, but an old saying can help you form a general impression: a thousand soldiers are all over the mountains; There are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary.

――

How many zombies do they have in sight right now? Ten thousand, fifty thousand, or more? From the few that were still roaring under the house, to the horizon where the sun was rising in the distance, there were all shadowy human heads, and the zombies didn't line up yet, they all followed the zombies in front of them in a scattered manner, which made the number seem even larger.

Trying to stop the zombies from getting closer stopped, and there was no point in wasting bullets to keep the zombies out of the way, it was better to wait for them to get closer and shoot them all in the corner...... The people who had worked hard all night last night went downstairs to rest, and a group of people began to put the zombies closer to the building before they started shooting.

Gradually, the ammunition of the silenced guns was nearly exhausted, but still no one dared to shoot with ordinary weapons...... Although dozens or hundreds of zombies have begun to smash the door and knock on the wall under their feet, the sound they make is relatively small after all, and can only attract zombies within a hundred meters to join the siege......

This large sea of zombies should just be passing by, as long as they keep quiet, don't attract attention, and wait for their large army to pass before clearing the area around the house, they can still continue to hide here.

But the zombies under the house obviously didn't intend to let them go, this wave of zombies several kilometers wide slowly walked around the house, and a few of the zombies were attracted by the sound and human smell, and surrounded the two buildings more than ten meters high, screaming and crashing against the wall in vain. Some of the more "smart" zombies realized that they were targeting the rooftops and began to use the other zombies as stepping stones to try to climb up, one by one...... Gradually, a small pile of zombies was built, and the height also increased from one or two meters, two or three meters, little by little.

"Oh my God." Someone exclaimed, the zombies under the real estate wall of Keller Williams on the opposite side had been piled up into a small pile of meat five or six meters high, which had reached the windows on the second floor, and the most troublesome thing was that the evacuees in the opposite building did not seal the windows on the third floor like them, they shot down from the windows on the third floor!

"Bring all the bullets from the silenced firearms, and we'll help relieve some pressure on the other side." After all, they are two shelters with cold lips and teeth, and they decide to support each other.

With a slight gunshot, the height of the zombies climbing on the opposite wall was controlled, but after ten minutes, everyone found out that it was just drinking to quench their thirst - because the killed zombies fell down and became a stepping stone for other zombies, and the more they killed, the more stable the base of the "Zombie Mountain" became, and the zombies who came later could climb the mountain more and more easily, approaching the height of the third floor......

Just looking at it from a distance, it was scary, how panicked must it be that the people on the upper floor were leaning out of the windows trying to stop the zombies from climbing?

At eight o'clock in the morning, the intercom across the street told the evacuees hiding in the hotel that they had run out of ammunition for their silenced guns and were ready to use other weapons.
