Chapter 218: Shrinkage

The pitch-black tentacles of an unknown substance stretched between the corridors, manipulating the ordinary zombies inside, and then letting them automatically get out of the way and clear the corridors.

Li Jian did not linger on the other floors, aiming for the top floor. After entering here, he found that the door under the bottom would not be broken for a long time, because it was not full of zombies, if it had been broken a long time ago, then now the building was already full of corpses, how could there be room to move.

Moreover, Li Jian also discovered that, as Colonel Wang Chao said, it seems that only ordinary zombies will attack this mansion building. Evolutionary zombies, or even Type 2 evolutionary zombies, will not attack this building. First of all, no matter how long Li Jian came in, all he saw were ordinary zombies, and even the giant type two zombies and mask type two zombies he saw in the back just now didn't seem to have any signs of attacking this Zhengfu building.

"Does that miracle seed really have the ability to make humans rise......

Li Jian muttered as he used the power of his mask to move the ordinary zombies blocked in the corridor one by one. Fortunately, these are all ordinary zombies, if it is an evolutionary zombie or even a type 2 evolutionary zombie, even if he uses the power of the mask, he can't control it.

On the other side, the main force of the army led by Colonel Wang Chao.

To be precise, an entire army responsible for attracting the fire of the zombie hordes.

"Big brother! You can't kill zombies anymore! I only have one magazine left! ”

"Hold on! When you run out of bullets, rush up and slash with a knife! Soon we'll be able to break through this horde of zombies! ”

In the midst of the artillery fire, a pair of brothers were talking loudly.

Hearing his brother's words, the younger brother pulled the trigger desperately. Headshot zombies one by one in front of you. Now the zombie corpses piled up in front of them have covered the entire ground, and they are still piling up. The white snow was also severed by various stumps. Stained with visceral corpse fluid, this place has become a veritable Shura field.

As their army continues to deepen. More and more zombies swarmed in, and the two swore that they had never seen so many zombies in their lives. Such a grand scene, the two have only seen it on TV before, and it is different from before. In the past, people were on TV, but now in front of them are zombies, an army of zombies who don't know pain, are tireless, and only want to eat people. There is a fundamental difference between the two.

Seeing his younger brother working so hard to shoot zombies, his brother is not far behind, his marksmanship is well-known for his accuracy, and the utilization rate of bullets is very high. But in the current chaotic scene, it is possible that several people and several bullets are fired into the head of the same zombie at the same time, which is not impossible. So, even so, the elder brother tried his best to increase the use of bullets. Because bullets are rare, there is no chance to replenish them now.

However, when he was shooting zombies with his brother, his brother unconsciously turned his eyes behind him. There. It is the location of the highest person in charge of their base, Colonel Wang Chao, who is the highest-ranking military officer, although he is trying very hard to kill zombies. But he really didn't understand why he was spending so much manpower and material resources. This rescue plan should also be implemented.

He knew that the first few times because of this so-called rescue plan. How many people did they sacrifice and how much material they wasted? If all of them had been used to develop the base with peace of mind, I think even a dirty and messy environment like a civilian area would have been improved now.

He didn't understand this, but he was a soldier, and since before the end of the world, he has been a law-abiding soldier who strictly obeys the orders of his superiors. Since his superiors gave such an order, even if he had doubts in his heart, he was unswervingly carrying it out.

What he guards, in addition to the orders of his superiors, is also the respect for the military uniform on his body.

Colonel Wang Chao was in the center at the moment, watching the front line continue to advance, but the speed of advance became slower and slower, and then casualties began to appear one after another.

He was silent.

After a long time, I saw him sigh and say to a few people around him.

"Shrink!"

The heralds standing beside him almost cried with excitement when they heard this order from Colonel Wang Chao. I saw that they held back their violent fluctuations and immediately performed their respective duties and passed on Colonel Wang Chao's orders.

Soon, the front-line troops at the front, who were slowly advancing in the zombie horde, began to retreat regularly, and then their vacancies were immediately filled by the surging zombies.

The difference is that those people, even if they are still pulling the trigger in their hands, or are still fighting zombies with sabers in close combat, their faces show a trace of excitement and joy.

That's because, contraction, means a temporary retreat.

Even if it was a temporary retreat, this order was no less than a sound of heaven for them. Because anyone who sees such a crazy and large number of zombies will naturally feel a sense of powerlessness.

Is this something that human beings can fight against?

Everyone thinks like this, it's not inferiority, it's not modesty, it's a real fact.

It's almost an unchangeable fact.

The speed of the army shrinking is very fast, although it is very slow when it advances, after all, it is necessary to advance against zombies at that time, but now it is different, everyone is almost bent on retreating, so of course the contraction speed is fast.

At this time, as if to cooperate with the army's actions, the zombies did not launch a fierce attack again, and stopped in place, but still in the direction of the army.

Colonel Wang Chao, who was looking at this scene, sighed helplessly, zombies are like this, as long as our side stops attacking, then they will also stop attacking. However, this is also time-limited, as long as we stay here, within this close range of the leisurely square, they will attack again later, drowning the army with a sea of corpses, and not even a single wave can be turned.

In fact, Colonel Wang Chao's intention in issuing the contraction order at this time was to estimate that Li Jian had already entered the Zhengfu Building, and secondly, to stabilize the morale of the army and make a little supply before continuing the battle. After all, the early stage of the operation was not bad, but now when there is a large consumption of ammunition, and casualties are beginning to appear, a proper contraction is still necessary.

Although it is said that Colonel Wang Chao can sacrifice everything in exchange for the so-called miracle seed. But on the premise of being able to exchange for the seed of miracles, if you can die a little less, you will die a little less, after all, it is always a living human life, not a disposable item that will be thrown away when it is used up.

Back at the Zhengfu Building, Li Jian had already gone up to the top floor, but in front of him, a heavy metal door blocked his way. (To be continued......)
