Chapter 145: Evacuation and Despair
On the night of the 22nd, at ten o'clock in the evening, the sky was raining a heavy rain that was rare since the cataclysm, and the soldiers used the rain-proof materials to keep the few remaining ammunition boxes from soaking. These ammunition are life-threatening in front of this sea-like zombie.
The number of zombies has decreased significantly, and after forming a siege of the huge Shuangying Mountain settlement, the thickness can be seen.
These battle-hardened soldiers can calculate that the zombies outside the city are no more than a million at most.
But this is only an illusory hope, and they are running out of weapons and ammunition.
Liu Jian had already held a mobilization meeting, and sure enough, as he thought, Yao Wenyuan, a person who said that he was called an idealist and an elm pimple when he said it was bad, chose to be the last line of defense, He Qingyuan didn't do it, just when Liu Jian was worried about who would be in the middle to deal with the overall situation and cover their escape, Chu Jianfang stood up and said: "Escape from here, I really don't know where else we can go, commander, I encouraged you to come back to defend, let you fold most of your belongings here, it's my fault, let me cover your retreat." ”
Everyone didn't expect that this Chu Jianfang, who can be said to be the most afraid of death, would stand up!
Originally, Liu Jian was indeed full of resentment towards these people who had been shareholders who had returned to the city to defend themselves, especially Chu Jianfang, who advocated it at that time!
But at this moment, when Chu Jianfang said this, all his grievances disappeared, and he said movingly: "Jianfang, I have seen people's hearts for a long time, only an old brother like you is the most loyal to me, I didn't say it!" As long as you can survive, I'll let you be the second-in-command of my army! ”
Chu Jianfang nodded and did not speak.
In the end, Liu Jian ordered 8,000 elite soldiers and prepared to retreat with all the high-level leaders except Yao Wenyuan and Chu Jianfang.
In order for him to have someone available in the future, he also informed all the people in Nancheng that if they could go together, they would go together, looking at the dense crowd of no less than 100,000 people, Chu Jianfang said: "Commander, go south, there is a town with only tens of thousands of people forty kilometers to the south, I think you have the strength to wipe out the zombies inside, that town is a grain transfer station from Shuangying Mountain to Dingbian City, maybe there is enough food for you people to eat." ”
Liu Jian nodded, my hand of Chu Jianfang was speechless, this was so touching, not only sacrificed his life to cut off the queen for him, but also pointed out the direction of retreat for him.
When Chu Jianfang's gaze swept over Zang Feng, he said coldly: "Leave this person behind." ”
Liu Jian said hesitantly: "He is disabled, what do you want him to do?" ”
"Commander, haven't you woken up yet? Li Yang has used us to gnaw the hardest piece of Pingyang from the beginning! How can he command our Shuangying Mountain, think about it, is this person always in the center of agitation? To put it in hindsight, if we hadn't lost so many men and ammunition in Pingyang, there would have been less than a million zombies left outside the city, and we might not have been able to defend it! ”
This crime is a bit exaggerated, the ammunition consumed in Pingyang can kill 100,000 zombies, but it does not prevent Liu Jian, who is already convinced of Chu Jianfang, from being emotional, he said hideously: "You mean this person is a spy sent by Li Yang?" ”
Chu Jianfang said: "No, he is not a spy, his hatred with Li Yang cannot be disguised, it was Li Yang who calculated step by step and asked him to come to the commander, otherwise, why do you think Li Yang killed all his subordinates and didn't kill him?" Just to make the commander believe in him enough! ”
Although Liu Jian is a little swayed by emotions now, he is not stupid, he said: "That's not Xiaofeng's fault."
"It's true that he didn't mean it, but he led it single-handedly! I want him to stay and die to atone for his sins! ”
Liu Jian hesitated, to be honest, Liu Jian and this Zang Feng can still talk quite well, is it appropriate to leave him to die?
Cai Chaoyi said agitated on the side: "Commander, we are leaving!" The north gate may be breached at any time, and if the city is broken, we will not be able to leave! ”
Liu Jian gritted his teeth, no matter how much he talked about it, it was not as important as his own life, since Chu Jianfang promised to stay behind to guard Shuangying Mountain for him and buy time for him to escape, this requirement must be met!
"Zang Feng stays, the others, let's retreat!"
Chu Jianfang looked around and said, "Take care of Zang Feng!" ”
Zang Feng was already ashen at this time, and Chu Jianfang would definitely not let him have a good time if he left him.
These people left behind were Chu Jianfang's subordinates, Chu Jianfang looked at Liu Jian's team in the distance, and said to Lin Gengsheng, the commander of the artillery battalion: "Three rounds of shelling, detonate the missiles at the south gate." ”
"Yes!"
In fact, there were not many people who knew that Liu Jian was going to escape, and they basically followed, and the remaining more than 10,000 defenders were all struggling on the city wall, and they didn't know that the headquarters had chosen to escape.
Now the situation in Shuangying Mountain is that the defenders of the Northeast and West Three Gates do not know that Liu Jian is going to run away except for Zhuang Yi and Mao Renxing's Department and Yao Wenyuan, the commander-in-chief of the front line, and those who are responsible for closing the city gate at the south gate are Liu Jian's diehard loyalists.
And in the center, the people who stayed were all Chu Jianfang's people.
But the thing can't be hidden, after the second strategic missile was detonated, everyone's eyes were focused on the south gate, this explosion was too obvious, and he was the weakest zombie at the south gate, it was not to kill the enemy, but to blow up the way out!
After everyone figured this out, they rushed to the south gate desperately.
Including the soldiers who didn't want to die, they had long been shaken by the lack of bullets in the guns in their hands, and at this time, they had insight into the real situation, so they decisively chose to collapse.
Only a few people stuck to the city walls, and they knew that this was a big cage, and whether they fled or not escaped was death.
Just kill enough!
Those who think this way are soldiers who are old mercenaries.
Suddenly, an aura of despair spread through the city.
A large number of people poured out of the south gate, but the south gate was only open for half an hour, and it had to be closed because of the zombies.
During this time, there were less than 200,000 people in the car with Liu Jian.
In other words, there are as many as 500,000 people who are locked in the cage of Shuangying Mountain by millions of zombies.
Some people may have said that one person and two zombies are easy and happy to solve.
Let's not say that most human beings don't have the courage to wield weapons in the face of zombies, let's just say that the claw zombies, which now account for one-third of the number of zombies, are not something that ordinary people can deal with with with all their strength, not to mention that many people are already weak in the face of zombies like a sea, how can they still have the heart to resist.
They would rather close their eyes and wait for death, or commit suicide than have the courage to fight.
An atmosphere of despair filled the city, and everyone saw the scene of everyone being eaten and wiped clean by zombies in the heavy rain.
However, they did not feel that in the darkness of the night, the heavy rain gradually became lighter.
A whistle was heard not far away
