Chapter 36: City-wide Mobilization
Alan looked out the window that Alexia was pointing to, and in the distance he could see a green air current rising into the sky, and large green clouds began to coalesce in mid-air. Scenes like this appeared one after another, and the distribution area happened to surround the Falling Silver City.
In the shattered picture that Allen saw through memory deprivation, there were sounds of "attacking" and "falling in Silver City". Could it be that Raymond's ultimate goal is to capture the Falling Silver City, but the defensive strength of the Falling Silver City cannot be captured by relying on a few dozen Blood Corpse Beasts alone.
"Quick, Kramer, hurry up, we'll be back in town right away." Alan urged loudly.
Kramer had already stepped on the gas pedal at the moment, and he hated that the steam-powered car had no wings. Fortunately, the speed at which the green clouds in the sky condensed was not very fast, and if you wanted to connect the surroundings together and envelop the entire Luoyin City, it would take at least seven or eight days. These seven or eight days are the real life-and-death points for Luoyin City.
The various bounty teams that went out to scout also discovered the vision in the sky at this moment, and they all grabbed zombie specimens in a hurry, tied them up, threw them into the trunk, and then quickly approached the silver city.
Benson was standing on the highest watchtower in Silver City, holding a telescope in his trembling hands. His face was pale, and cold sweat was already running down his forehead. The adjutant on the side stared nervously into the distance, even if he didn't use the telescope, he could vaguely see the green gas rising into the sky, as well as the green clouds that gradually coalesced.
"Smack!"
Commander Benson crushed the binoculars in his hand, he turned his head to look at the adjutant, and said with a solemn expression: "The whole city is specially prepared, all the civilians in the city are transferred to the underground safe house, and all the reformers are recruited, regardless of whether they serve in the army or not, to provide the same treatment as soldiers, to ask for guns for guns, and for ammunition for ammunition." Anyway, gather all the guys who can fight. In addition, all communication facilities are used, and a call for help is sent to the military headquarters, the Knights, and the cutting-edge laboratories, and it is necessary to ask for reinforcements to be sent as quickly as possible. Signal for help every five minutes until reinforcements arrive! ”
The adjutant was a little stunned by Benson's order, which was a complete precursor to war. Seeing that the adjutant was stunned, Commander Benson couldn't help but shout: "Execute it immediately." The war has begun! ”
The adjutant suddenly came to his senses and rushed down the watchtower, and the head of Banson couldn't help but sit on the ground in a decadent manner after issuing the order: "Defend the silver city, maybe there is still a glimmer of life!" Of course, he knew the power of the green corpse poison, and such a large-scale corpse poison would be the most terrifying source of infection. The human settlements and small towns around Luoyin City will all become zombie kingdoms under the influence of corpse poison. It won't be long before Luoyin City will be surrounded by zombies.
Commander Benson has never seen such a large-scale outbreak of corpse poison in more than 20 years in the army, and the most bizarre thing is that ordinary corpse poison needs to rely on the spread of terrain, and will condense in a specific location without moving. Even if the zombie graveyard is built on mobs, it will not move on a large scale. But right now, the terrifying corpse poison is not only erupting from the ground, but what is even more terrifying is that it has condensed into clouds in the air, and if the surrounding clouds are connected together, then Benson can't even think about it.
Just when he was distracted and a little overwhelmed, a sharp brake sound brought him to his senses.
"Captain, the people of the bounty team are back. The Harley leader of the Black Scorpion says there is something important to discuss with you, the news about the zombie graveyard. ”
Benson cheered up, hurried down from the watchtower, then boarded the steam-powered car, and drove quickly into the regimental headquarters. He rushed into the conference room, which was already full.
"Commander, what now?"
"How can we keep this?"
As soon as Benson entered, he heard the concern of the crowd, and he could only pretend to be calm, motioning for everyone to be calm, and simply stating his orders.
At that moment, Hallie stood up and said, "Captain, we can't sit still. The zombie graveyard can be destroyed, and even if it can't be destroyed completely, we can also make a gap in the direction to leave a back road.
Benson's eyes lit up, he had just been confused by the scene outside, but now that he had calmed down, he realized that what Harley said was true. Benson kept pacing: "Makes sense, makes sense." What Harley Chief said made a lot of sense. If we sit idly by and allow the clouds of corpse poison to coalesce, Luoyin City will definitely become a city of zombies, and I will never allow such a thing to happen. ”
"Now, according to what Harley's leader said, organize an assault force, at least pull out the three zombie cemeteries on the main road of Silver City, and on both sides, and if there is time to spare, continue to attack, what we have to do is to open a passage before the corpse poison cloud closes, at least to get out of the city."
At this moment, the leader of one of the bounty teams asked, "What if we use the airship in the port, how about exporting the flat ** first?" ”
"At this time, the ...... in the sky" Ben Sen hesitated, he didn't think that Luoyin City had a medium-sized airship port, and a hundred-person manned transport airship was docked all year round. But now that there are corpse poison clouds in the sky, will it be threatened by the clouds if it rises into the air rashly, and in the air, once it is attacked, there is not even a chance to escape.
Thinking of this, Benson said to the adjutant on the side: "Find the captain and ask him to calculate in detail the altitude of the airship and the transportation route, whether it can completely avoid the poisonous clouds in the sky, if he is sure, we will assign a transfer to the ordinary people, go quickly." ”
The adjutant took the order and hurriedly rushed out of the conference room, Benson turned his head and continued: "Even if there is no problem with the air transportation, our plan must be carried out as usual, the existence of the Falling Silver City not only provides us with a foothold, but more importantly, as long as the Falling Silver City is there, it will have a deterrent effect on the surroundings, so it is impossible for us to abandon the city until the last moment." ”
"Commander, even if you want us to go, we can't go." The leader of a bounty team said loudly, and everyone on the side echoed. For these bounty hunters who tie their heads to beg for a living, Falling Silver City has become their home, and for them, "home" often has a special meaning.
"Very well, now, chiefs, I want you to pick out the best members of the regiment and form two teams to attack here and here."
The battle map on the conference table has been unfolded, and the scouts have roughly calculated the area of the zombie graveyard from the direction of the poison cloud, and marked it on the map. Benson kept one of the zombie graveyards facing Silver City for himself, and the two adjacent ones for the bounty team.
In terms of the initial area of the green clouds in the sky, the one facing the Silver City was the largest and the most intense. This indicates that the zombie graveyard underground is also the largest, and as a soldier, Benson naturally carries the most difficult task. Although the leaders of the bounty team are indispensable for intrigue on weekdays, at this time, everyone is standing on the same front, and everyone knows that the head of Benson has resisted the most difficult task, and they all secretly pinch their strength, and they must completely eliminate the zombie cemetery they are responsible for.
"The arsenal of Luoyin City will be fully open to everyone, the zombie graveyard needs high-burning explosives to be effective, this time in order to ensure the smooth operation of the mission, I hope that the amount of explosives you carry will be doubled according to the usual level, so as to hit one hit."
After Benson made arrangements, the leaders of the bounty team were divided into two teams according to their strength, led by the two strongest bounty teams, Viper and Redbeard. Although Black Scorpion is slightly weaker than the two top teams, its overall strength is enough to rank in the top five, so Hallie has also been placed in an important position as the vice captain of the improvised assault team, assisting the leader of the Redbeard - Barbarossa.
The strong man with a red beard and a large bald head was a seventh-level reformer, carrying two crescent-like scimitars on his back and a large alchemical musket under his side. Although the musket was fired with one hand, the body of the gun was 60 centimeters, and in addition to the top sight, two symmetrical metal canisters hung at the lower end of the barrel, through which the two conduits were wound around the barrel, and finally drilled into the position of the handle. This is Redbeard Barbarossa's favorite alchemy musket, Volcano, a fire-type firearm that can shoot fireballs in single-shot mode and a scorching line of fire in bursting mode to continuously burn. Barbarossa's favorite thing is to burn enemies to ashes at close range.
With half an hour to get ready, Barbaros sent his henchmen and the Black Scorpion members sent by Harley to the arsenal to extract explosives. And he himself began to pick out the most elite fighters from among the regiments.
"What are we going to do?" Harley asked, pretending to be assigning a mission, calling Aaron and Alexia to her side.
"I always felt that it wasn't that simple." Alan frowned, but he didn't have any clue, "Why did Raymond capture Silver City, isn't what he needs most now is time." It takes a lot of time to build up your strength, but if you attack rashly at this time, it will definitely attract a joint attack from the knights and the military headquarters. It's like sending you to death! ”
"It's weird, but we can't let the poison clouds connect. Therefore, this operation can only succeed, not fail. Alexia said with a solemn expression.
"It seems that this is the only way to do it for now, Harley, and remember to always remind Redbeard not to fall into the trap of zombies."
"I understand!"
Half an hour later, the three teams assembled, and Benson looked at the crowd in front of him, and couldn't help but say in a loud voice: "I won't say anything superfluous." For the sake of our homeland, for the sake of the loved ones behind us, burn these disgusting monsters to ashes. Let's go! ”
