One hundred and fifty-six A lonely city

Above the white clouds, a giant silver transport plane roared by. The transport plane, nicknamed the Giant of the Air, had a payload of 800 tons and was filled with supplies for the defense of Paris to support the city of Rome. There were a dozen people sitting together at the plane's supply port, but they didn't speak.

It seemed that after a long time, someone finally couldn't help but say, "Lin Yi, are you still angry?" "The voice was pleasant, it sounded like that of a young woman. Because they are all wearing combat uniforms and wearing uniformly configured helmets, it is not easy to distinguish a person's age.

"Yingsa, you better stay in the transport plane and don't go down with us!" Lin Yi twisted his somewhat stiff neck and said.

This group of people is Lin Yi's team, and there happened to be a transport plane flying to Rome before, so Lin Yi and the others could just catch a ride. But when they arrived at the airport, Yingsa didn't know where to get the news, so she had to follow along. Lin Yi originally wanted to use force to pull Ying Sa away, but later Ying Sa said that she had someone in Rome City who could help Lin Yi, so he agreed.

But it is obvious that Lin Yi regrets it now, after the plane took off, Lin Yi kept asking Yingsa who she was over there in Rome, but Yingsa couldn't say why. But she insisted that there would be someone who could help Lin Yi. Later, Lin Yi had no choice but to give her a blank look and chose to remain silent.

"Why, I'm coming, I'm not!" Yingsa twisted her body and played the eldest lady's temper.

A burst of suppressed laughter sounded in the crowd, and Lin Yi coughed a little embarrassed. But Yingsa still looked unrelenting, and Lin Yi secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, this woman is really elusive to change.

Due to the large load of the transport plane, the speed of flight was naturally a little slow, but even then it took less than two hours to fly over the city of Rome.

Through the gap in the white clouds, Lin Yi and they could even roughly see a huge defensive fortress. The city of Rome had already begun to build fortifications at the outbreak of the zombie crisis, and when the corpse sea beasts attacked, they mobilized the whole people to continue to widen and raise the fortress at a near-miraculous rate.

The giant sea beasts were generally difficult to shake in the face of this sudden rise of the defensive fortress, and often several large sea beasts rushed into the city walls, but before they could achieve anything, they were wiped out by the overwhelming artillery. It's just that the number of these corpsed sea beasts is really huge, and no matter how they are destroyed, it seems to be endless.

The cities around Rome have been turned into a world of zombies due to the ferocious attacks of sea beasts. Now the entire city of Rome is a lonely city floating in a sea of zombies, and it may be overwhelmed by the sea beasts sweeping in like a mountain at any time.

The Romans, or rather the people who loved Rome, guarded this thousand-year-old city with a tenacious will. It is precisely because of this that the international community has been providing a steady stream of material support. This is a bridgehead against the invasion of zombies, and it is a bridgehead that cannot be lost.

Defending Rome is also the determination to defend human resistance!

……

Basilica of the Virgin Mary, City of Rome. The streets, which were supposed to be full of tourists, are now depressed, and the lush trees around them bring not coolness, but a kind of lonely coldness.

Archbishop Augusto stood on the stone steps below the church, his eyes fixed on the sky, and his sadness was written on his old face. The archbishop's back was straight, and although he was tired, he had a lot to do, and he couldn't just fall like that. The children are on the front line to resist the invasion of zombies, and they are all swaying their blood to defend this last pure land. So what reason does he, as a bishop, not do things, even though the archbishop is very old, but he can still do a lot.

Not long ago, he received news from Paris that a transport plane of the Giant of the Sky had flown to Rome, bringing the city of Rome the weapons and ammunition they urgently needed, as well as emergency food. And there were more than a dozen people on this transport plane, but the specific purpose of these people was only said by the Parisian side when they arrived. Augusto was grateful for Paris' assistance, and naturally did not ask about the other party's need to keep it secret.

The archbishop rubbed his aching eyes, he had not rested much these days, and frequently consulted with countries and international organizations about aid, sometimes even day and night. Rome's population was already over three million, but then another wave of refugees poured in, and the entire city had a population of more than five million. However, in the early days of the crisis, Rome sent out more than three million people in an emergency before it was completely encircled. But even this is a staggering amount of food for more than a million people per day, so that the daily ration per person, except for the combatants, is generally kept to a minimum. But even so, Rome's stockpiles of food were depleted, and even the daily support from the international community was stretched thin.

Can't give up, you can't give up, that's the most common phrase the archbishop says every time he goes to the front line. Everything here was so obsessed with him that he didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to see it turn into a hell. It was a blasphemy against the faith he had believed for many years, and all he would not give up.

The city of Rome is now doing everything it can to send the remaining old and weak out of the city of Rome, where they cannot create enough fighting power. In order to be able to finally hold Rome, even if it is dangerous to get out of the city, it must be done.

Suddenly, as far as the eye could see, the archbishop saw clusters of blooming white flowers. Over the years, experience had taught him that it was Paris that had come to his aid. It's just that he was curious and said that some people would come this time, but the plane didn't land, and the archbishop didn't want to think about it anymore. A dozen people, even the most powerful fighting machines, may not be able to make too big waves in this battle.

The white flowers descended to the ground in unison, as if they had been pulled by something. Normally some parachutes would be blown out of the defense zone by the strong winds from above, but today they were miraculously lined up and descended down towards the center of Rome.

Augusto immediately contacted the logistics department to prepare to receive the supplies, which were the first supplies they received today. Normally, supplies are transported at night, because that is when the zombie attack is weakest. It is still rare to transport supplies directly in broad daylight like today, and it is easy to encounter ghostly corpse birds during the day.

The archbishop boarded the low-altitude hovercraft with the help of the assistants, which is still relatively small in popularity, and the average family still uses a car with flying wings at most.

The hovercar is speeding on the road in an extremely stable state, and there is no one on the street, or rather, there are no idlers, everyone is busy at their posts.

A few minutes later, the hovercar arrived around the Roman Forum, and the Parisian authorities told Augusto that the precise landing would send the supplies directly to the entire Roman Forum. At this moment, the parachutes had descended to a height of several hundred meters, and they could even faintly see the packaging text of the huge box under the parachute.

Augusto commanded the crew to clear the scene aside, and then just waited for the parachute to descend.

Suddenly, Augusto felt the ground shake slightly, as if a giant beast was about to break through the ground. Augusto frowned and beckoned a clergyman to come over.

"Your Excellency, Bishop!" The young man in a light white robe bowed respectfully.

"They're coming, you go and see how many people are left in the church to pull out, the children in front are working hard!" Augusto's old but sonorous voice sounded, like a war drum, giving people confidence.

"Yes! Your Excellency! The white-robed young man turned and walked onto the hovercar, something Augusto had allowed. In this moment of life and death, everything else is just floating clouds.

In a few words, the parachute has landed a large part. Augusto squinted, trying to see what the relief supplies were in Paris, and he could see that the Parisians had put a lot of thought into the relief supplies this time. In general, in order to conserve resources as much as possible, the parachute is the simplest. But now not only the parachutes, but even the huge boxes are equipped with a lot of jets for steering.

The ground shook more and more violently, and Augusto's face became more and more uneasy. Those huge corpse sea beasts made a deep impression on him, and each of them had the power to open mountains and split rocks. If it weren't for the fact that human technological weapons have advanced a lot, there would really be no chance to resist in the face of such a giant beast.

The sky quickly fell into darkness as the parachute landed, and Augusto stared at the box that was already close at hand, feeling a little more comforted that the Romans would not have been able to hold out for so long without the selfless support of the whole world, no matter how hard they tried. They may have been starving all over the city before the zombies entered the city.

"Tong!" With a muffled thud, the first box, which was nearly two meters high and two meters wide, landed on the ground. However, you can't open the box at this time, there are still many boxes behind, and it's too dangerous to open the box now.

"Knock knock!" Like the beating of war drums, a box continued to fall from the ground, and the sound of crashing was continuous. It is like the most magnificent war song, fiercely exuding everyone who does not easily submit to evil.

Half an hour later, more than 700 boxes of equal weight were neatly lined up in all the empty spaces of the Roman Forum. The energy required for precise control alone this time is not something that ordinary forces can do. As a result, Augusto was even more excited about the contents of these chests.

"Unboxing!" Augusto was a little emotional, they needed the supplies so badly.

The staff who had been on standby left with their tools and headed for the nearest box.

"Bang bang bang!" Just then, one of the boxes suddenly sounded a rapid tapping sound.

Augusto was stunned for a moment, and then said as if he had suddenly remembered something: "Go open the noisy box, and pay attention to safety!" ”
