19. You Are Outcasts (I)
Somewhere in the middle of the city, a gray building stands halfway up a hill. The dense vegetation almost obscured the small complex, and the flickering colorful lights in the room showed how extraordinary the building was.
"General, the situation can no longer be delayed, we must take action!" A middle-aged man with the rank of major on his shoulder walked up to a burly, bald man with a document in his hand.
"In non-war times, even me, according to the regulations, I can only move one battalion of troops without the orders of the president." The bald man sighed leisurely, and his originally straight back seemed to bend a little with this sigh.
"Then why didn't he give you instructions?"
"Major, you must know that there are many things that you do not have the right to ask." The general, who had not had the slightest momentum, regained his former majesty, and even if it was just a simple sentence, the major on the side trembled in their hearts.
"Now that I've informed the mayor and started organizing the evacuation of the citizens, let's try to buy as much time as possible."
"But now only the people of the West Side know the news."
"There is no way, someone has to sacrifice to buy time for others."
The room fell silent again, but the military tent outside was full of people and busy.
There were more and more cars around, and it was already clear from the frightened faces of the people that they already knew what kind of crisis they were facing.
"It looks like we're ready for a city-wide retreat." Lin Yi pulled the car to a halt for a moment, got up, and moved his numb legs.
Due to the large number of people, except for the one person in the car, the other four girls sat in the car. As a gentleman, he still has white, and Gar sits directly on the roof of the car. Although the roof of the car is also cool, at this time, there are zombies everywhere who want to make out a little, and the danger is self-evident.
Fortunately, Shiro's marksmanship is really good, and Gar is becoming more and more proficient. Lin Yi can only do the envy on the side, this matter is really not in a hurry. Of course, he slowly discovered some tricks, and his marksmanship improved quickly.
"Although we are running fast, there are more and more zombies behind us, and they will soon catch up with us." As a police officer, Gaal certainly wanted to go out and do a big job. It's just that after witnessing many of his colleagues turn into zombies, he also understands that personal heroism is just a joke in the face of this disaster.
At this time, the originally crowded crowd suddenly consciously split a gap about three meters wide. Lin Yi looked at the camera in the gap, and it turned out that many military vehicles had driven over.
The crowd erupted in cheers, and the idea of preparing to die was temporarily forgotten. For ordinary people, the army is the most powerful, and anyone who encounters the army has only a dead end. Of course, at any time, people's emotions will not be unified, and there are many people who look at the soldiers who are belatedly fierce. Because they will only remember that when their loved ones express their despair on the communicator, that powerlessness, that powerlessness, it is really difficult to let people go.
For countless years, people have tried to make themselves strong, because only the most powerful people can control their own destiny without interference from other external forces. And the army, as the most powerful force, has always been trustworthy. So when the army came along, people were no longer afraid, they waited for the army to come and kill these abominable things. The Iron Warriors had formed a thick line along the wide streets.
Tongues of fire spewed out, and the Iron Flame existed to destroy all obstacles that stood in our way!
The first zombie was quickly beaten to minced meat.
Then came the second head, and then the third head...... Soon the zombies that appeared in everyone's eyes were all wiped out.
The women began to tell their children that they were ready to go home. The men couldn't help but see that the zombies were so weak, and began to regret why they were so timid just now and didn't take up arms to fight. The young lads began to boil with blood, and they were eager to rush up at once and grab a big gun and sweep in all directions.
The crowd cheered again, and the army efficiently prepared to return to the camp.
Although Lin Yi didn't know how many zombies there were, he knew that the story had just begun.
It's just an appetizer, although not very tasty. When everyone was ready to pack up and go home, they washed and went to sleep, only to find that they were here again.
"There are still two fish that slipped through the net, are the brothers willing to give me a chance to perform?" A young man in his twenties saw the zombies reappear, and jumped on the roof of the car, ready to kill them to show his bravery.
The soldiers ignored the young man who wanted to be in the limelight, but took up his weapons again and shot at the prey.
A very familiar scene, it happened again, and the two zombies quickly turned into minced meat.
But soon, one head and three heads appeared...... The speed of zombies is almost exponentially increased.
Ten heads!
Fifty heads!
And then there were a hundred, or how many, and there weren't many people to count them. The crowd began to fear again, and the already crowded road suddenly became more crowded.
The new zombies were so fast that several of them almost broke through the line of military vehicles. There were more and more zombies, so many that the soldiers didn't know where to point their guns.
The young man, who had just shouted to show his skills, saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, and immediately ran to a small alley next to the street. He must have been glad at his wit, only soon he was terrified.
In the alley, there is a group of zombies rushing out excitedly, and the bloodstains on their faces look hideous and terrifying under the light. When they saw the first delicacy appear in front of them, there seemed to be an exuberant glow in their eyes, which were already dead ashes.
Delicious, delicious! This was probably their only thought at the time, so they ate the young man in front of them very seriously.
After that, they didn't have time to wipe the blood from the corners of their mouths, and appeared in the crowd with the uneaten large intestine, duodenum, and heart that seemed to be still beating.
It was another decibel race, and people were really frightened that zombies had already appeared around them.
The screams of the women were followed by the helpless cries of the children, and the men, either screaming in anger or staggering away in fear. The world has gone from light to darkness all at once, and perhaps, we shouldn't be rejoicing so early.
Looking at the precarious line of defense, Lin Yi and the others were also terrified. It is absolutely fatal for so many zombies to appear in a concentrated concentration at once. The army could no longer stop it, and the whole city seemed to have sunk into the mud of zombies.
"Quick, throw grenades, increase the firepower!" The commander of the army shouted loudly in the command vehicle and urgently contacted his immediate superior.
A loud roar was heard all around, but it still couldn't disturb the momentum of people to choose their way to escape. Without benign guidance, the original status quo of a pot of porridge is now even more nowhere to go.
The commander looked at the crazy zombies outside the window, and his heart trembled. At this time, it may be too late to escape, and if you leave later, you may really be gnawed by these bloodthirsty monsters.
The commander's immediate boss was finally contacted.
"I order your ministry to hold on to help and buy enough time for the people to retreat, Mr. President is watching you! Come on, boys! ”
A very mechanical paragraph, which has no practical meaning at all, this commander is not a fool, he understands that he has been abandoned.
"Colleagues, as a soldier, the most important duty is to defend the country. Now is the time for us to fight for this city and for the people of this city! ”
"I hope there will be no deserters in our Witson Combat Battalion!"
"I hope that every colleague can fight until the last moment!"
"I hope you can recreate my Camp Whitson style!"
"In the name of God, I, Witterson II, will fight with you to the end! If there are deserters, I will kill them with my own hands without a court-martial! ”
After a brief silence, the soldiers shouted in unison: "Understood, sir! ”
Another battle of blood and fire! The blood of the soldiers has been aroused, and the battle is in a white-hot state for a while. The zombies' lifeless onslaught quickly broke through the soldiers' defenses and joined up with the other zombies rushing from the alley. For a while, the back of the soldiers was slowly occupied by zombies, and they had to fight on two fronts at once. For the Whitson Combat Battalion, which was already understaffed, manpower was even more stretched.
"Lao Bai, you guys are helped, buddy, I'm going to charge!"
Zombies from all directions continue to bite one person after another, and the situation is extremely critical. The car that spent a cannon was blocked in the middle of the traffic, neither forward nor backward, and from time to time the zombies came to a warm hug.
"Brother, just drive out, we'll clear the way for you up there!" Bai said as he killed a zombie who ran to Jiaojiao's window.
Lin Yi, Gar and Bai sat on the roof of the car in a triangular formation to defend the surroundings, but the ammunition was limited, and they had to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible.
Hua Yi's driving skills quickly convinced everyone, as long as there was a gap exposed, he could always rush over at once. Other small family vehicles tried to compete with him, but they were simply uncomfortable, and they were directly hit by his off-road vehicle.
As the crowd's off-road vehicles continued to overtake one vehicle after another, the surroundings gradually became less crowded. In fact, for most people, the first reaction in the face of danger is to run away immediately, so many people run out in their pajamas. On the road, I kept seeing people trying to stop Lin Yi's vehicle, but before they could think about whether to do good deeds, these people were bitten by the zombies that ran out of the darkness.
It's not that everyone's hearts are numb, but when we can't change no matter how hard we try, silence may be the best choice.
