After Xu Jie was stunned for a long time, he suddenly shouted: "There is no ammunition!" These bastards are out of ammo in the fortress! Fuck, you guys have today, too! Aha, without ammunition, your cannons and tanks are just burning sticks and iron lumps! You're dead! ”

The fortress ran out of ammunition.

In modern warfare, logistics is fought, and in order to ensure the density of firepower output, the volume of logistics is astronomical. And in order to fight against the perverted undead creatures such as zombies, with the same suppressive firepower, the fortress needs to maintain more than three to four times the firepower density of the past.

Ammunition has become a chain that restricts the development of the fortress.

The fortress's ammunition comes from several sources: at the beginning of the apocalypse, each mobile unit carried its own ammunition, but this piece of ammunition is almost negligible, because it is basically depleted in the battle with zombies; At the end of the apocalyptic war, the capital garrison troops did their best to transfer a batch of ammunition at their best ability and sacrifice, and this batch of ammunition also became the basis for the establishment of the fortress, after that, the large-scale transfer of ammunition from the field ammunition depot became a nightmare, the road was cut off in a large area, the zombies were rampant, especially after the awakening of the intelligent corpse, even the railway was cut off, after the loss of several batches of old diesel locomotives and wagons that were not easy to repair, the fortress had to give up the operation of transporting ammunition from other places; The last source of ammunition is the fortress itself. Although it is not a problem for the production line to rely on a large number of high-tech enterprises in the capital, and the metal materials are relatively sufficient, the propellant and fuse mercury are a major bottleneck restricting production.

In the early days, the fortress did not have a good time, facing the incredible biochemical virus, and the casualties of a large number of soldiers in the early stage because they were not familiar with the characteristics of zombies, which made the morale very low. The remnants of the army come from all branches of the armed forces, and it is difficult to integrate with each other. There is a shortage of ammunition, water, food, medicine. Completely helpless against the soldiers bitten by zombies, there are constantly wounded fighters committing suicide, which further weakens the combat effectiveness of the troops. Civilians saved by the troops became a big burden. Not only is it useless for warfare, but it also takes up a lot of food, and the ugly human nature of the last days has added a lot of security incidents.

In a word. The barely established fortress was in a state of crumbling and could fall apart at any time, and if there were waves of large-scale zombies attacking the fortress under the command of the intelligent corpse, the fortress that was still in the bud would immediately collapse.

But luckily. No matter how many zombies there are in the capital, they are also a group of unorganized and undisciplined idiots, and the intelligent corpses have not yet been born at that time. Zombies are ugly, they are a group of blind streams, who will only wander aimlessly in the capital by instinct, although the overall number is numerous, but they are separated in various different areas, and because of the characteristics of avoiding light, they have been transferred to the subway system to live.

And for the fortress. Even more fortunate was that their leader was a strong-willed strongman, and although his rank was not high among the surviving officers, he had in his hands the last formed combat unit and was the first to propose the establishment of a fortress. He even fought hard to save a large number of civilians, both among soldiers and civilians, and his prestige was extremely high.

Immediately after being elected as the supreme commander by the soldiers and the people, the leader implemented a series of iron-fisted policies: the fort was fully militarized, all supplies were tilted towards front-line combat units, all male civilians were formed into a paramilitary reserve, any civilians who disobeyed orders were immediately expelled from the fort, and the old and weak women and children were led by technicians to produce ammunition at full strength.

In the face of the endless zombies in the capital, the leader's order was simple, just two words: attack.

Offensive! Offensive! The best defense is offense.

No ammunition, attack. There is no food, offensive. Comrades were wounded, attacked.

Attack, offense, constant offense.

Through rapid and uninterrupted strikes, a no-no-corpse zone was established outside the fortress, and the contact between the zombies and the fortress was forcibly cut off, making the fortress a safe island in the zombie tide.

The shortcomings of the zombies' lack of autonomy are infinitely magnified under the active attack of the fortress, and it is often the fortress that surrounds and annihilates a group of zombies with superior forces, and the zombies across the street are attracted by the bloody fresh corpses of several cats and dogs, and they have a party there. With the expansion of the corpse-free area, the zombie tide gradually got out of direct contact with the fortress, the capital is too big, and there are many places to find food, under the deliberate strong walls of the fortress, the zombies can't find food around the fortress at all, out of instinct, they are naturally getting farther and farther away from the fortress, except for the occasional small group of zombies wandering around, the phenomenon of the zombie tide besieging the city can no longer be seen.

This trend was not reversed until the appearance of the intelligent corpse.

But by this time, the fortress had also gained a firm foothold, the ring walls of the fortress had been established, a complete ammunition production line with a high degree of automation had been completed, production had been steadily increasing, a loose alliance had been established with the survivors of the surrounding rural areas, the food problem had been alleviated, and a number of technical weapons and defense solutions for the characteristics of zombie operations had been developed......

The Forbidden City and the fortress fell into a complete stalemate, and the zombies couldn't swallow the fortress in one bite, but the fortress couldn't develop its power in one step because of the constant pressure of the zombies commanding the zombies' attacks, and even had to send a limited force to block the further reinforcement of the foreign zombie forces at the key points around the capital.

But the bad thing is that although the offensive defense of the fortress is effective, the consumption of ammunition is also very large, especially in order to maintain the deterrent effect of the more and more intelligent intelligent corpses, the fortress has increased the intensity of the attack on the intelligent corpses and zombies who dare to emerge from the ground, on the surface, the Forbidden City has to go underground to survive, but the fortress is also afraid of the two ends of the wolf - the inventory of ammunition has been barely maintained at the minimum warning line.

Therefore, when facing the intelligent corpse hardliners led by Xu Jie, despite the heavy casualties of the zombies, they launched a cannon fodder-style group charge, steel, for the first time, hung its head to the flesh.

Now, inside the fortress, the ammunition is nearing the bottom, but the zombies outside are still endless, and these ammunition is the last resort - once the ring wall is breached, the fortress needs this batch of ammunition to protrude from the capital.

There is no choice.

It's time to make the final choice.

The leader ordered the armored units to be withdrawn, all the troops were ready for a large retreat, and explosives were planted in the weapons production line, material warehouses, and oil tanks......

But before a full retreat, abandoning the capital, and giving up the best hope of humans on this continent to fight against zombies, the fortress still has a final desperate blow.

The final blow of madness.

This theory of attack has undergone the most rigorous reasoning and trial and error among Bastion experts. The carrier has just rolled off the production line, and the "core" has already been installed, but. The use of this weapon was met with the most heated controversy within the fortress, and even the authority of the leader could not suppress the strong opposition.

In fact. The leaders themselves are undecided. Using this weapon, you release a demon, although the after-effects it causes are manageable. However, all the data are the products of the laboratory, and in war, there are all kinds of unexpected situations, and there is absolutely no possibility of 100% insurance. If this weapon gets out of control, he will become a sinner for the whole nation.

Whether to let go or not to release this devil has been weighing heavily on the leader's chest, but now. All worries have been left behind - the wise corpses of the capital must die!

The awakening of the wise corpses is too fast, their IQ is almost multiplied at a geometric speed, this time the Forbidden City and the fortress battle, the wise corpses fought vigorously, and the early stage of strategic concealment, deliberately showing weakness and consuming fortress ammunition. and the creation of false targets after the outbreak of the war to lure elite troops into falling traps, all of which proved that the growth of the Wisdom Corps had completely exceeded the original expectations of the fortress.

For the first time since the end of the world, the leader questioned the decision he made in his heart: he still underestimated the wise corpses, and knew that they could recover most of their IQ, so even if he had to bear the biggest sacrifice, he would have to destroy all the newly awakened intelligent corpses, but now, the intelligent corpses with higher and higher IQ have become the climate, and even forced the fortress to the corner.

Therefore, the intelligent corpses must die. No matter how big the price is, you can't keep them alive.

"Enable 'Core'!" Inside the fortress, the leader issued the final order to attack.

Yes, attacking, attacking, defending, and escaping should never be an option for a fortress, leaving the capital, there is absolutely no chance of a comeback, even if you can find a ship to enter the sea and find a big island to make a living, as some people have proposed, but this land, and the survivors and human civilization of this land, will be completely plunged into darkness.

Then attack, the last offense.

If the smart corpse would also go crazy, then now in Wang Lu's eyes, Xu Jie is "crazy", his brain waves have become extremely chaotic and out of control, and he is still muttering to himself: "It's over?" Is the fortress really finished? That's right, they're finished! Dead! Without ammo, they are toothless paper tigers! Oh, yes, and the walls. Phew, this wall has a, we haven't given some small gifts to the armored troops of the fortress yet, I don't believe that your wall can be harder than a mountain, as long as you blow a few gaps, the voters will soon be able to rush in, as for the barricade - ha, that is the strong point of our voters. ”

"No, wait, the fortress and the armored cluster are not used? What do they want to do? I see, these bastards want to escape! That's right, it must be so! They're going to run away with their tails between their legs! ”

"It's not going to work, it's absolutely not going to work! We're still waiting for a big dinner after smashing the turtle shell of the fort, and we wouldn't be able to do without you entrées. ”

"Attack! Offensive! Let the armed electorate rush in with technical weapons, go to the front line, send some living guards to assist in the application of technical weapons, and smash this damn ridiculous wall for me as fast as possible, and never let the people in the fortress escape. ”

"Wait, control the speed of the voters' attacks, don't bite Lao Tzu after breaking through the city wall, if these idiots are preempted by the mouth, what else will we eat, Lao Tzu doesn't have the hobby of eating the leftovers of the voters' saliva."

Wang Lu stood aside and shook his head in his heart, Xu Jie was really confused, this is really letting the horses run again, and not letting the horses eat grass, the zombie's weapon is a mouth, Xu Jie doesn't let them bite, then it's an attack.

It's just that Wang Lu was even deprived of the command of the battlefield by Xu Jie, and he didn't bother to express his opinions, he was honestly a soy sauce public, anyway, the capture of the fortress was already a sure thing, unless the opponent's small universe exploded and a few Ultramans came out.

Xu Jie was busy contacting other smart corpses through brain waves, discussing whether to mobilize all the armed zombies and technical weapons, concentrate on attacking one place, and break through the city wall in the shortest possible time, but there are also smart corpses who think that there are major drawbacks in attacking only one point, if the fortress sends a broken rear force to defend stubbornly, and other personnel look for opportunities to escape from the opposite direction, it is difficult to catch all the living people in the fortress, it is better to attack more.

Wang Lu looked boredly at the walls of the fortress. There is no movement in it at all, please, even if it is an ancient cold weapon war to defend the city. You should also prepare some rolling stone wood, right? It's not fun, it's so bad. Originally, I wanted to see how the zombies pinched each other with the soldiers of the fortress on the city wall, but I didn't expect the fortress to go out so quickly.

The zombies besieging the city were honestly crowded around the city wall because they didn't get the command of the smart corpses who were still arguing for a while. Standing stupidly doing nothing, including those armed zombies with modern weapons, they were also crowded in the zombie horde. Like a large scarecrow, motionless. Wang Lu is not angry, this group of idiot zombies is really an abacus bead, if you don't pull, it won't move, those armed zombies have a little brain. It is time to move to the corners of the city wall with weapons, ambush in the dead corners of the fortress's firepower, look for weak points such as gates and waterways, and wait for the wise corpses to attack as soon as possible after the order to break the city. But now they're standing motionless. If the fortress arranges some snipers on the city walls, such a close distance can easily inflict a major blow on the armed zombies.

And Xu Jie and the smart corpses in the capital are just as stupid, they really think they are tactical geniuses, what a single point breakthrough and multi-point attack, this is a fart, now is a time to grab time, the fortress also needs time to prepare if it wants to escape - retreat when the enemy attacks on all fronts, which is a difficult tactical action in which dynasty and which generation, it must be fully prepared, otherwise, it is not a retreat but a pursuit and slaughter, at this time it should break through the city wall as quickly as possible and disrupt the calm layout of the fortress......

Wang Lu was standing in front of the window boredly changing his left foot to his right foot and looking at the front line, when he suddenly sighed: "Xu Jie, drive out of the fortress." ”

Xu Jie finally persuaded the other smart corpses to attack the city by means of a single-point breakthrough, and at this time, he was busy issuing assembly orders to multiple armed zombies through brain waves, deploying them to his own war zone for centralized use, and called his own living gunner squad leader, and asked him to lead a team of personnel to assist the armed zombies in using some high-tech weapons - Xu Jie didn't want to see the absurd scene of armed zombies carrying RPG launchers like sledgehammers smashing the reinforced concrete city wall later.

Hearing Wang Lu's call, Xu Jie hurriedly looked at the front line, and sure enough, the closed gate of the fortress suddenly opened, and a car slowly drove out, Xu Jie shouted: "Damn, these mongrels are slipping away so quickly?" It's good that I don't have to break the wall......"

Wang Lu suddenly interjected: "No, there is a problem, if the fortress wants to escape, it will definitely send an armored cluster with high protection and high firepower output to take the lead to cover the transport convoy behind, but, but now this car that has been driven out, although it has been modified and looks relatively strong, it is not equipped with any weapons, it is an ordinary transport vehicle." ”

Xu Jie also saw it clearly at this time, and sure enough, what slowly drove out of the gate of the fortress was a van truck, of course, the vehicle was modified, the front of the car was reinforced, the windows were also equipped with metal shutters, and even the tires were also equipped with protective covers, and the whole vehicle looked like a rectangular metal box.

And - and most importantly, such a strange vehicle, only one drove out, and the gates of the fortress rumbled shut again.

What kind of fame is this?

Wang Lu reminded: "Could it be a suicide bomber?" ”

Xu Jie thought for a while: "Even if this whole car is full of explosives, what's the use?" "This is true, as long as it does not hurt the intelligent corpses in the rear command, the fortress is just useless to blow up and kill more zombies on the front line.

The van was moving slowly, but there was nothing out of the ordinary, except for crushing a few zombies in front of the wheels along the way.

Xu Jie quickly used his brain waves to contact the intelligent corpses in other war zones, and he frowned: "This is strange, the fortress only sent this one car, and there is nothing abnormal in other war zones, not even the shadow of a living person." ”

Wang Lu was puzzled and said, "What does the fortress want to do?" Flee and not flee, fight and not fight, could it be said that this cart is carrying messengers, and they want to surrender? ”

Xu Jie snorted: "What do you want to do like this?" Just take out this car. ”

As he spoke, he immediately commanded an armed zombie near the strange vehicle to kill it.

The armed zombie clumsily took off the big bag on his shoulder, took out a "canister" from it, and then, under Xu Jie's long-distance micro-operation, began to fiddle with the weapon: remove the plastic packaging cap on the rocket warhead, screw the engine propellant tube to the engine in a clockwise direction, tighten a spring gasket at the screw of the engine and the propellant tube, open the Phillips bolt safety, rotate and push the rocket into the launch tube, pull off the strap on the safety cap at the front end of the rocket, remove the safety cap, and apply pressure down with your thumb, Pull up the hammer and push out the cross safety hitch to the left. Then, aim, pull the trigger.

This series of actions, if it is done by an ordinary person, it can be easily operated with a little training, but for zombies, Xu Jie must be very careful to decompose each action to the extreme, decompose it to a single limb action that does not have misoperation, and then use the simplest and clearest command to give to the zombie, if one of them goes wrong, this rocket grenade does not know where it will fly.
