Chapter 118: Zombie Siege (4)
From night to day, it seemed like a century for those who were fighting. The roars of the zombies echoed throughout the night, and no matter what you were doing, you would hear them, so much so that by the time the people in the base began to become numb and were able to sleep soundly at the roar.
Fei Qian had been standing silently at the head of the city, his eyes closed, if he could still see the little ups and downs in his chest, he would even think that he was a statue. A statue guarding the southern city. Four Blue Foxes reaper attackers who don't stop for a moment. When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the thick clouds on Fei Qian's body, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. Fei Qian didn't fall, the city wall didn't fall, they were still alive, they had already survived a night, didn't they?
"Feiqian, that kid is okay if he goes on like this, right?" Wang Meng sat tiredly behind Fei Qian, with his back against the city wall. Facing Fei Qian's back, he asked Yang Qing next to him.
"He's measured." Yang Qing was also very tired, and after a night of fierce fighting, the base was finally defended. After the sun came out, the activity of the zombies decreased, which gave everyone a chance to breathe.
"Wood boy, what about you? Something's okay? Are you alive? Wang Meng stabbed Mu Jingzhi with his elbow and was leaning against the wall on the other side of him, closing his eyes and recuperating. If you want to say who is the most tired in this battle, except for Fei Qian, who is standing motionless at the head of the city, it is Mu Jingzhi who fills the leaks everywhere. In order to prevent the zombies from climbing up, he ordered the east house and the west house, and lit fires everywhere.
"That's right, brother, do you want to take advantage of the fact that now you should find a place to rest." Mu Jingrui, who was opposite the author Wang Meng, asked worriedly, and Mu Jingyu, who was beside her, also cast a concerned look at Mu Jingzhi. is a brother and sister who grew up together, and the relationship is deep, coupled with Mu Jingzhi's heroic performance yesterday, Mu Jingrui has become his little fan, so the word "cousin" naturally becomes "brother", and his status is close to Mu Jingyu.
Mu Jingzhi slowly opened his eyes, and the bloodshot in his eyes was clear. "It's okay, you send someone to Ye Fan's side to take a look, tonight will be very difficult, how many light bombs can be used first, take a little first, one or two can also play a great role at a critical time." Mu Jingzhi said to Mu Jingyu.
Mu Jingyu turned his head sideways, glanced at Fei Qian, who was still standing at the head of the city, and saw that he did not object before calling his secretary and sending someone to Ji Shaotong's laboratory.
The southern city withstood the heaviest attacks of the night, with few casualties. This made everyone feel that their behavior also gave them a lot of confidence that they could keep the home they relied on for survival. And Beicheng, which does not have the two big killers of Mu Jingzhi and Feiqian, is much more miserable. Although they were besieged several hours later than the southern city, the incident came too suddenly, and there was no effective way to defend it, so after a night of stubborn defense, the northern city showed a sense of desolation, and the walls were full of zombies and human or half-human corpses. The battle line in Beicheng is too long, and there are no fire-type abilities with outstanding abilities and abilities like Xiang Feiqian, who are powerful and have very long-lasting endurance, so although the walls of Beicheng were not breached last night, there were indeed many zombies climbing the top of the city walls. There were spots of blood everywhere.
The Mo family, who was in power in Beicheng, also lost several reserves. After dawn, the zombies have a chance to catch their breath when their activity decreases. At this time, the Mo family took advantage of this gap to gather in the Mo family's meeting hall again, compared to the atmosphere of schadenfreude last time, this time the atmosphere was quite depressing. There was an indissoluble worry and confusion on everyone's face.
"How's the situation over there in Nancheng?" Mo Yubing asked, although the connecting bridge between the two cities had been raised separately, the Mo family was still able to learn about the situation in the southern city through some other channels.
His secretary hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "The situation of the zombies over there in Nancheng is similar to ours, but the few people that Mu Jingzhi brought back recently are very capable, especially one of them, his ability is to control four flying knives. The lethality is very high. Moreover, Mu Jingzhi himself is also a fire-type ability, and his flame is purple. Seems to have more attack power than a normal fire-based ability. ”
The secretary's voice lagged behind, and there was a dead silence in the Mo family's meeting hall. Mo Yubing frowned, he didn't know much about Fei Qian's strength, but he still had a certain understanding of Mu Jingzhi alone. His ability was still obtained because he was calculated by Mo Yiping and a blessing in disguise, but he didn't expect Mu Jingzhi's ability to be so threatening.
"What do you guys think?" Mo Yubing closed his eyes, it was just one night, the base had lost a lot of people, and there were still a large number of zombies outside the base, it was not enough to completely resist the attack of these zombies, at this moment, Mo Yubing actually felt a trace of despair.
"I don't want to give Beicheng a funeral!" One of the side branches of the Mo family said, "I'm leaving, from the waterway!" ”
His words immediately caused a burst of discussion. When the base was built on the riverside, there were already a lot of boats left, but they were all controlled by the government, coupled with the subsequent animal mutations, and once again the mission team went out on a waterway, and it was swallowed up by a school of fish within a few minutes before leaving the shore, and even the speedboat they were riding in was not spared, and after that, no one considered going out of the city by water.
"Are you sure?" Mo Yubing asked, in fact, he didn't think about the feasibility of this method in his heart, but the safety of taking the waterway was not very high, so he was always in the middle of it.
"Sure, you give me a big boat. I'm out of town! ”
Mo Yubing was silent, if it was usual, he would definitely scold angrily and let this side branch of the clan get away, but now he needs someone to do such an experiment for him, if it succeeds, even if he is lucky, if he dies in the belly of the fish, it will be his own fault.
There was more than one Mo family member who wanted to go out of the city by water, but they didn't dare to make a move because they were afraid of the unknown fish in the water. The expression on Mo Yubing's face changed several times, and finally agreed. Preparations for the withdrawal of the base from the waterway then began. At this time, Mo Yubing's eyes changed several times, and finally seemed to have made up his mind.
"I stayed at the base. This time it won't necessarily fail. The Mo family has been operating in Beicheng for so long, and they can't give the results to others. Mo Yubing said to the people who were about to leave.
"Oh?" Mo Yubing glanced at Mo Yubing a few times, he was also considering the candidate for the Mo family to stay behind, after all, if the northern city was defended this time, the Mo family would still have to come back. According to the number of large ships in the base, Mo Yubing can leave, but now he has to take the initiative to stay?
"Yes, but Ichihei was injured and is still lying in the hospital. This time, I have the resources to stay and hold on to the northern city, but if you can leave the base by water, please take him with you. Mo Yubing stabilized his mind and looked straight into Mo Yubing's inquiring eyes, as if there was no trick at all.
Mo Yubing thought about it for a while, Mo Yubing's strength and talent in the side branch are very good, and it may be a good choice to keep him, as for his big idea, it must be kept. At this time, Mo Yubing had already come up with the idea of killing this person who stayed behind to defend the city if the north city was defended.
Mo Yubing still doesn't know that while he is seeking wealth and danger, Mo Yubing is also thinking of killing him. Because once Mo Yubing succeeds in defending the city, Mo Yubing will become one of the biggest hidden dangers for him to sit firmly as the head of the Mo family, and he can't let this kind of person exist.
"Then you can stay, Iippei and I will help you take care of him." Mo Yubing said.
Mo Yubing lowered his head, as if he was thanking Mo Yubing, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth revealed the purpose of his greed, and it was difficult for people who said that they were not powerful enough to adapt to life under the fence. The current Mo Yubing is like this, in order to stand at the pinnacle of power from the beginning, he does not hesitate to fight with his life.
Under the leadership of Mo Yubing, the Mo family went down to a huge basement under Beicheng through a secret passage in the base, where the main supplies and ships of Beicheng were placed, and this could also lead directly to the river.
The man who volunteered to be the test was now taking his family aboard a small yacht-sized boat, the hull of which was made of steel plates, which was very strong.
The sound of the engine sounded, and the people watching from the shore saw a ship start slowly, slowly moving away, and finally turned into a small black dot.
"Great! It worked! ”
"There is salvation!"
The Mo family seemed very happy, and began to go home to pack their things, preparing to sneak out of Beicheng before dark. Mo Yubing came to the hospital alone, pulled up Mo Yiping, who was still lying on the bed, and told Mo Yiping his plan. "This time, as long as we can defend us, we will no longer have to use Mo Yubing's bullying in the future, if we can't hold it." Mo Yubing paused, and said with a complicated look in his eyes, "Then you can find a woman to have a baby." Don't fight for anything, as long as you are still surnamed Mo, and I have such a credit, they will not care about your life or death. ”
Mo Yiping's eyes turned red after hearing this, "I know, Dad, you must live." ”
When the Mo family was about to secretly leave Beicheng, Mu Jingyu's secretary Wu Ming came to Ji Shaotong's laboratory. At this time, Ye Fan also didn't sleep all night, relying on the effect of wine to supplement his ability, and after making the shell of nearly five hundred lightburst bombs, he began to copy the entire lightburst bomb. I made a dozen or so in one night.
"Take a break, or the boss will peel me off." Ji Shaotong took another formed light burst bomb, looked at Ye Fan's pale face and said worriedly.
"It's fine. No amount of tiredness can be more tiring than those who are fighting. Ye Fan thought of Fei Qian's back standing firmly on the head of the city, and the thought of resting disappeared without a trace.
Ji Shaotong was helpless, so he had to get a small glass of wine for Ye Fan, and forced her to rest for a quarter of an hour after drinking. At this moment, the doorbell of the laboratory rang, and Ji Shaotong saw that it was Mu Jingyu's secretary Wu Ming, so he let him in.
Wu Ming entered Ji Shaotong's laboratory for the first time, and when he came to deliver the crystal nucleus before, he was handed over to him directly at the door and then locked out. He glanced at Ye Fan, who was sitting on the side and didn't look very comfortable, and then said, "Major Mu asked me to ask if there is a light blast bomb that can already be used." ”
"Didn't you say it would take two days to use it?" Ji Shaotong said dissatisfiedly.
"That's right, although last night's defense of the city was successful, we still lost a few people. It's only going to get tougher today, so I'd like to ask if there's anything we can already use, and if I do, I'll take it back, and if not, we'll think of something else. Wu Ming patiently explained that there were still some blood stains on his body, and he didn't know if it was his or someone else's. The white shirt was now gray and wrinkled, and it didn't look like a secretary to a big leader. Thinking about it, he didn't have a hard time last night.
"Take those to him." Ye Fan opened his mouth, seeing that Mu Jingyu's secretary was so embarrassed, he could imagine that last night's battle must have been very hard.
Ji Shaotong pursed his lips, took the dozen light burst bombs in the box on the side to Wu Ming, and carefully told him how to use them. Tell him to make sure that the explosion point of the light bomb is more than 200 meters away from the city wall, otherwise the city wall will not be counted on his head.
Wu Ming wrote it down in detail and then kept the box in his arms like a treasure, and ran towards the city wall. When he returned to Mu Jingyu's side with great interest, the temporary command post built on the city gate and under Feiqian's feet had more members of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Yin Ruoxi, who rushed to deliver food, Mu Sitong, Mu Yitong and Mu Niantong, who came to make trouble, and the snake girl who only passed by when entering the city, at this time she was happy, looking at the zombies outside with great interest, feeling like a child visiting the zoo, and said that this was trampled down and his face was flattened, and that one was torn off his hands and feet, anyway, every Wu Ming couldn't find the so-called laughing point, but the snake girl laughed very happily, and the snake tail slid around on the ground.
"Got it?" Wu Ming's arrival relieved the strange atmosphere at the scene. Wu Ming hurriedly put away his thoughts, stopped looking at the strange snake girl, and handed the box in his arms to Mu Jingyu.
This is the first time Mu Jingyu has seen the legendary light burst bomb, the shape is no different from the modern grenade, but the size is smaller, but the mass is larger, and it is very textured in the hand. One by one, they were all silver, and they looked a little dazzling in the sun.
"Haha, Ji Shaotong and that kid are finally willing to hand it over! I couldn't touch it before. I've been itching for a long time, let me try it. Wang Meng rubbed his hands, quickly stole one from Mu Jingyu's hand, and studied for a long time but didn't find where the fuse was.
"How do you use this?" Wang Meng looked back at Wu Ming, who had a dish-faced face, and asked.
Wu Ming tried hard to touch his heart that was frightened by Wang Meng just now, looked at Mu Jingyu, and only after seeing him nodding did he say, "This must be thrown 200 meters away, there is a small button under it, and it will take another 5 seconds to detonate after pressing it." ”
Wang Meng opened his mouth, revealing two rows of big white teeth, found the small button that Wu Ming said, and pressed it after sweeping the tail with a little force. After throwing it hard, the silver light explosion bomb drew a beautiful arc, and it fell to a place of 300 meters accurately, Yang Qing, who had been watching with a telescope, also saw that it just hit the head of a zombie when it fell, and it fell into the zombie group after a bounce.
At this time, it was already noon, which was the time when the sun was at its fiercest, and it was also the time when zombies were at their least active. The light emitted by the sun hanging high in the sky pierces people's eyes, but the dazzle of the sun cannot hide the light emitted by the explosion of the light bomb. There was no sound, and the center of the circle was the place where the light bomb had just fallen, and all of them were attacked within a radius of 200 meters. The bright light like burning magnesium powder irritated everyone's eyes to blind them for a moment.
When they saw the scene again, everyone showed a sincere smile, only to see that the place where the light bomb fell was empty, and the zombies far away from the center fell to the ground, their bodies were charred and black, and there was not even ash left when they were close, only the shining crystal nuclei on the ground showed the existence of those zombies.
"Wow, that's strong." Yun Ling sighed, this kind of power has no sound at all, and there is no shock wave. It's just amazing.
"Saved! There is salvation! Some of the men guarding the walls began to cheer, and when they received the order to hold the base for 48 hours, they were not yet sure. New types of weapons are not something that can be researched and studied. But now, they have really seen the power of the new type of weapon, which has greatly improved their confidence.
Everyone was happy, only Mu Sitong, Mu Yitong and Mu Niantong still had black faces. Mu Yitong and Mu Niantong are not happy as long as Mu Jingyu and Mu Jingrui are in the limelight, while Mu Stone really feels the helplessness of the general trend again. He took a deep look at the smiling and smug Mu Jingyu, and felt that he was no longer able to control it at all, as for seizing power? Mustone shook his head and smiled.
"I'm so happy to be so early, I don't know if I'll be able to come out early enough tomorrow night." Mu Yitong muttered. At this time, the circle emptied by the lightburst bomb has been filled with zombies again, and it is conceivable that if there are not enough lightburst bombs, it will be very difficult to win this victory.
"Don't worry! If the southern city can't hold it, I'll give you the first chance to die heroically! Mu Jingrui said angrily.
"What did you say!" Mu Yitong glared at Mu Jingrui viciously.
"I said, as a descendant of the Mu family, you must have integrity. The Mu family has the responsibility to protect the southern city. Didn't you always call yourself the eldest lady of the Mu family? If the southern city can't hold it, you should be the first to rush up and fight those zombies, giving the other survivors more chances to survive! Mu Jingrui's voice was crisp and loud and sonorous, and her words reached the ears of many people around her, not only persecuting Mu Yitong, but also making a promise to the people of Nancheng.
