Chapter 188: The Corpse King Appears!
The sky is getting brighter.
In the depths of the clouds in the distance, there was a touch of fish belly white.
As the night passed, the sound of fierce fighting outside the city never stopped, on the contrary, it became more and more intense.
On the streets, there are fewer and fewer military vehicles loaded with ammunition. The gunfire also began to fade away. However, the terrifying roar did not stop for half a moment.
North Gate.
Li Ba led his evolutionaries, as well as evolutionaries from various forces in the city, and still struggled to resist the attack of the corpse tide. Behind them, at the location of the damaged gate, there were several earth-based supernatural beings, along with the recruited personnel, who were rushing to repair it.
The so-called rush repair is the ability of the earth system to pull up the ground soil, and other personnel use sandbags and mud to completely seal the city gate.
Only in this way can the gap be plugged and resist the influx of corpses.
A night of fierce fighting. No one can hold it up. Take turns to rest and absorb the crystal nucleus to restore the elemental power. Only Li Ba fought at the forefront from beginning to end, flying in the air with ghost crying vines, strangling zombies one by one, while protecting the safety of his companions.
Call!
A cloud of yellow light shot from afar like a cannonball, and several zombies blocking along the way were blasted to pieces.
"Stone!"
Li Ba instantly triggered the golden light talisman, and at the same time, yelled at the stone.
The stone has already attracted the stone skin skill, accompanied by the left and right. At this moment, he suddenly came to the back of Li Ba, put his hands against Li Ba's back, and actually used him as a meat shield to resist the yellow light that attacked.
Boom -
The yellow light hit Li Ba, and the huge momentum made Li Ba dizzy. But its body was held against the stone, and it did not take half a step backwards. After a few seconds, the power of the yellow light completely dissipated.
And the golden light covered by Li Ba's body also collapsed at the same time.
"Good guys!"
He shook his head, still a little dizzy.
From the moment the city gate was destroyed last night. That's how he and the stone work together, defusing the ranged attacks from the weird zombies again and again. The cooperation between the two can be called tacit understanding.
There is not much golden light talisman left on his body, Li Ba doesn't know, and he can resist a few times. Looking back, the passage of the city gate was about to be sealed. It was not in vain.
On the city walls, the gunfire began to weaken. Li Ba's heart also began to sink. He knew the situation without asking, there was a problem with ammunition.
If this continues, he doesn't know how long he can hold on!
Whewββ
Another burst of yellow light came out.
But this time it's okay, and it's blocked by the body of two power-type mutant zombies halfway. As a result, the yellow light collapsed, and the two power-type mutant zombies were also killed instantly.
These ranged monsters are very cunning, hiding inside the corpses and never approaching. Only when the time is right is the time is to launch an attack. Normally. Nine out of 10 cases were accidentally injured in the same category. Otherwise, no matter how many golden light talismans Li Ba has, he would not be able to parry.
Rush over and kill the guys.
Li Ba tried before, but before he got close, he encountered those green-haired zombies spitting venom. As a result, it was in vain, and a few spirit runes were wasted.
In the end, he had to honestly lead people to guard the city gates.
Blackie and the Fire Lion were also dispatched. These two guys are extremely combative. The Fire Lion, in particular, has the ability to fire. The fireballs that erupt from the mouth can explode the heads of power zombies. Even if it is against the giant rock corpse, it is not timid, and the fight is inseparable.
Xiao Hei's combat effectiveness is worse. After it breaks through, its body is the size of a calf, and it awakens a water ability that can spew out black balls of light. The attack power is not large, but it is extremely corrosive, and even the metamorphosis defense of the giant rock corpse cannot resist it.
This is very similar to the venom of that kind of green-haired zombie!
It's just that Blackie's ability attacks are intermittent. Comes and goes. It seems that he should have just broken through and failed to fully grasp it.
Ever since it had a super friendship relationship with the Fire Lion, the two guys have been inseparable, even fighting together. As for the hairy monkey, he was injured and was held in his arms by Zhou Yan and stayed on the city tower together.
"Boss, the city gate is sealed!"
There was a shouting from behind him.
Two young men came to Li Ba's side. They were all members of the Security Department, one named Wu Yue and the other named Xia Longshan, both of whom were third-level earth evolutionaries.
"Good!"
Li Ba nodded, and then beckoned everyone to retreat.
On the city wall, ropes hang down. The team of evolutionaries led by Li Ba began to climb up the castle tower along the rope.
The others were fine, but Xiao Hei and the Fire Lion couldn't climb up with the rope.
However, Li Ba has a way. I saw that with a wave of his left hand, the seven bodies of the Devil Crying Vine shot away, and they were all inserted into the city wall, as firm as a pile, and connected into a rope bridge.
"Black boy, take your wife up quickly!"
It's rare that Li Ba is still in the mood to joke at this moment. Xiao Hei screamed, and then, together with the fire lion, stepped on the Devil's Crying Vine, jumped in the air, and climbed onto the wall.
Li Ba was the last to evacuate. The Devil's Cry vine contracted, and its body flew diagonally up the city wall under the strong pulling force.
After they evacuated, the corpses poured in, and the gate they faced was an earthen wall six meters thick, even if it was a xenomorph zombie that could spew yellow light, if they wanted to break through this earthen wall, they would not be able to do it in a short time.
Ascending the city tower, Li Ba looked at it, with a wry smile on his face. In the passage above the castle tower, discarded gun barrels can be seen everywhere, and behind the combatants, there are ammunition boxes that are about to bottom out.
No wonder the gunfire he heard was getting thinner and thinner when he was below.
Yan Jin walked quickly. On the south gate side, all the evolutionary forces of the military were concentrated, including him, Geng Wensheng, Zheng Jun, Han Xue and other evolution masters, and successfully sealed the passage of the south gate.
"Are you running out of ammo?" Li Ba asked urgently. Yan Jin, who is also the head of the quartermaster department, knows the most about this situation.
Wang Feng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There is not much left." β
"Isn't there an arsenal under your quartermaster's office?" Li Ba asked again.
"The arsenal can only be loaded with some ordinary bullets, and the production is extremely small."
Yan Jin learned that the military's guns and ammunition were basically all from a secret arsenal in Xibu City. This arsenal was attached to a large military region before the end of the day, and it was specially used to seal up expired firearms and ammunition. Among them, there is also an old set of ammunition filling equipment. At the beginning, Liang Shaoping established a settlement in Xibu, in large part because this military arsenal was located here, which could provide a large number of guns and ammunition supplies for the military.
The end has fallen for more than half a year, and a lot of guns and ammunition in the arsenal have been consumed. This time, in the face of such a huge corpse tide, all the family funds have been taken out, and it is still overstretched and difficult to deal with.
Those guns were old and discarded, although they could barely be used, after a night of fierce fighting, non-stop shooting, the barrels were too worn, and some of them were directly exploded, injuring many people.
Ammunition is even less available. According to Wang Feng's prediction, it will be exhausted in another half an hour at most.
Running out of ammunition is not a good thing, to be precise, a disaster. Li Ba was anxious, thought about it, and asked, "Is there any explosives over there in the arsenal?" β
"There are some, there are not many stocks, and the workers are working overtime to reload bullets!"
"When is it, still loaded...... When it is loaded, Xibu City has also been attacked by zombies! β
Li Ba was in a bad mood and kept complaining. When Yan Jin heard this, he could only smile bitterly.
"You ask the workers to make all the remaining explosives into improvised explosive packs, which is much faster...... Also, send people to collect gasoline, as much as you want. β
Li Ba's mood calmed down, thought about it for a while, and immediately ordered Yan Jin to do these two things.
Yan Jin is a smart person, he immediately understood what Li Ba meant, and nodded in agreement: "This method is good, I'll go now." β
After Yan Jin left, Li Ba dialed Wang Feng's number again and asked if he had found any clues about the intelligent zombie.
"There are so many corpses, so far, it is estimated that there are at least nearly 300,000 ...... It's hard to find out this guy. β
Combat headquarters, when Wang Feng was saying this, suddenly, a female soldier next to him exclaimed: "I found it!" β
"Lao Li, you wait for a while, don't hang up."
When Wang Feng said this, his eyes quickly turned to the big screen in front of him. At this moment, the picture of the sea of corpses displayed on the electronic screen is constantly enlarged, and inside the black pressure corpse group, a very special zombie appears.
This zombie looks similar to a power-type mutant zombie on the outside, more than two meters tall, with its fangs exposed, and its appearance is extremely terrifying. The only difference is that the power-type mutant zombie is covered with black sarcoma-like, while the surface of this zombie is covered with pieces of black scale armor, with a tall body, like an ancient demon god in battle armor, and it is extraordinary.
Beside this guy, there were two giant rock corpses with a body size of nearly four meters, and two black bat corpses covered in pitch black, like close guards.
At a certain moment, this black-armored zombie suddenly raised its head, and a pair of cold eyes seemed to penetrate the electronic screen, revealing indescribable cold cruelty and cunning.
"It's spotting drones!"
Wang Feng was taken aback. Immediately afterward, the order was given, and the drone returned. Almost at the same time, the two black bat corpses squatting next to this black-armored zombie actually flapped their wings and soared into the sky.
"Whoa......
In just a few seconds, the image on the electronic screen disappeared, and it was full of snowflakes.
"Report sir, the drone is ruined!"
The female soldier who was controlling the drone exclaimed.
Wang Feng's face was ugly, he picked up the intercom, and said slowly: "Lao Li, I found that guy...... It is like the king of zombies, with a large number of mutated zombies gathered around him, including two fourth-level boulder corpses and two fourth-level black bat corpses, like a personal guard. β
"Where's the location?" was stunned for a few seconds, and Li Ba's words came from the other end.
"To the southwest of the corpse tide, about three kilometers away."
Wang Feng replied truthfully, and then said: "It is located in the center of the corpse tide, and no one can rush to kill it...... If the drone hadn't been destroyed, we could have tried it and killed it with the help of air-dropped miniature high-explosive bombs! β
"Give me the bomb, I'll figure it out!" (To be continued......)
