Chapter XVIII

"Boom, boom." The sound of mortar artillery shook the ground, and rows of zombies were torn to shreds in the fire.

Outside, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and zombies who are usually afraid of water are now all over the streets, and they are really crazy about the temptation of food.

In an abandoned dwelling, it was the temporary front-line headquarters. Bobcat dusted off the mortar dust and continued to study a new battle plan.

At this moment, an officer dressed as a civilian officer ran in quickly, ignoring the rain-soaked uniform, and said loudly after saluting: "Sir, the front is about to be unbearable." Just now, the captain of the front line sent a communication, and three more soldiers under his command were killed. So far, we have a total of 13 soldiers killed here. ”

The lynx slumped in his chair, wiped his tired face vigorously, and said in a hoarse voice: "The armored troops sent by the Gunpowder Commander will be here soon, let the brothers hold up for a while, so you can bring 20 men to support them first." ”

"Yes." The officer saluted again, then quickly turned and slipped into the rain.

The lynx smiled wryly and shook his head, reinforcements? He had just received a communication of gunpowder, and the road leading to it had been flooded due to the heavy rain. The armored forces were stuck halfway, and if they wanted to come, they would at least have to wait until the rain had stopped and the flood waters had receded. But looking at the current weather, they can't get there in 3 days.

The Bobcat used to be just an ordinary special forces, and there is nothing to say about the ability to fight individually. However, when it comes to command, he still leaves much to be desired. Vincent trusted him and handed over a third of his army to him, allowing him to lead his troops to clean up another town in order to solve the problem of the current overpopulation of Cité Soleil. But the Lynx, who did not know how to march and fight, was carried away by the successive victories at the beginning, so that now he was alone in the depths, and finally trapped and died in this town.

This is a fairly large town, 30 kilometers away from Sun City, but compared to the small Sun City, this town is at least 6 times larger, and it will not be able to be attacked for a long time. The huge sound of artillery fire attracted all the zombies within a radius of more than ten kilometers, so the lynx fell into a bitter battle, and soldiers began to sacrifice one after another.

Under this complex psychology, the bobcat sat in a chair and spent a difficult night.

By the time the lynx woke up, it was already dawn. Touching his empty belly, he felt that he should go get something to eat first.

At this time, a herald suddenly ran in from outside the door, completely ignoring etiquette, and said in a panic: "Commander, it's not good, the 50-person vanguard led by Staff Officer Zhang is trapped in the town." ”

The lynx's face changed, and he quickly pounced on the map, gestured to the map, and asked, "Where are they now?" ”

The herald pointed to a large supermarket in the town and said, "Right here, they have now retreated to this supermarket to build a defense, but there are too many zombies. If they don't come to the rescue as soon as possible, their ammunition won't last until noon. ”

The lynx sat down in his chair and fell into a stupor. The map showed that the trapped supermarket and their current location were painted in a blinding red, with markers written on it: zombies, 40,000.

After a long time, the lynx slowly opened its eyes and slowly picked up the walkie-talkie on the table, the small walkie-talkie seemed to weigh as much as 10,000 catties, so that the lynx's hands kept trembling slightly. When the familiar voice of the scorpion came from the walkie-talkie, the lynx said bitterly: "Scorpion, do me a favor......"

When the news of the great victory at the front reached Sun City, everyone was immediately plunged into a sea of joy with singing and dancing. This means that they have a wider living space, and in addition to the three more towns, the 700 square kilometers of land between the three towns will become a safe area. This means that everyone can get a house instead of a few people squeezing into a bed, and everyone can get a large piece of land to grow some food and vegetables, and even raise some livestock and poultry.

Although this kind of life is not used to many people in the city before, it is already a great happiness for those who have survived disasters to have such a safe living environment, not to worry about zombie attacks, to have a full stomach, and to take care of their children.

However, mixed with this great joy, a seemingly inconspicuous piece of news was selectively ignored by everyone: 50 people from the vanguard of the Federal Infantry Brigade were trapped in the supermarket, and the fighters of the Army Aviation Brigade of the Central Guard Brigade took off urgently and attacked the zombie-dense area around the supermarket. The airstrikes resulted in the destruction of a large number of houses, and after the fighting, only 17 of the 50 vanguard members trapped under the rubble of the supermarket were rescued, two of whom were seriously injured and disabled.

This battle caused the Bobcat to lose more than 1/5 of the troops, and the Bobcat was standing in front of Vincent with a guilty face: "I'm sorry, boss, I failed to live up to your expectations." It's because I'm greedy for merit, so that a large number of people and horses are surrounded by zombies and fall into a bitter battle, for the death and injury of nearly 50 people, I have an unshirkable responsibility, boss, you punish me. ”

Watching the bobcat fight all the problems alone. Gunpowder, who was standing on the side and served with him, couldn't help but speak: "Boss, if you want to blame me, if my troops could arrive in time, nothing like this would have happened." Boss, I'm willing to be punished with the Bobcats. ”

Seeing that the lynx was about to speak again, Vincent interrupted him with a smile: "You two, what are you fighting for?" It's not a military feat, is it interesting for you to fight back and forth? Now we are going to discuss the question of how to celebrate. As for the loss of the lynx this time, who is not a sage? Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, no general can strategize as soon as he enters the battlefield, as long as you can learn the lesson of this time and promise not to make the same mistake next time, I will forgive you. ”

Obviously, Vincent's words are not going to be pursued, and the lynx saluted excitedly: "Yes, the complete task is guaranteed." ”

Now that the matter of the lynx has been decided, everyone is relieved. For them, only the old people who followed Vincent were the same kind of people as they were. As for the refugees who joined later, at least in their eyes, they were inappropriate, and there were many refugees outside, especially outside the fortifications of the two bridges, and a large number of refugees who wanted to join Sun City had gathered. If it weren't for the fact that the population of Sun City was already full, as long as the refugees from outside were allowed in, the population of Sun City would at least double.

As for how many people died in the army of refugees, it was not at all what they feared. In these chaotic times, the treatment of soldiers is undoubtedly the best, and choosing to be a soldier is always the first choice for those refugees. Seeing that the lynx was fine, everyone happily discussed the expansion of the population and the relocation of the government.
