Chapter 255: Sea of Corpses, Trap
Although he was in a hurry all the way, Wang Lei always maintained a state of vigilance, and the team sent out to investigate moved forward to a range of more than ten kilometers, ready for possible sneak attacks at any time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But the troops have been marching to the range of less than fifteen kilometers from the county seat of Jinxian County, and they have not encountered any major trouble, and the dozens or hundreds of zombies that occasionally appear on the roadside are not enough to stop the progress of the troops, and the legendary interceptor does not seem to have appeared.
Not far ahead is the county seat of Jinxian County, could it be that the person who intercepted and killed will wait in the county seat?
How is this possible, the county is full of zombies, if these people were lurking in the county, it is estimated that they would have been drowned by the sea of corpses long ago.
"Report, news came from the front, a large number of zombies suddenly poured out of the county town, and they were coming towards us, and the front-line reconnaissance troops were retreating, and at the current movement speed of the corpses, it was expected that in twenty minutes, they would exchange fire with the forward troops. A soldier who was delivering information suddenly hurriedly ran to Wang Lei's side and reported.
The zombies have not yet found human survivors, so the movement speed is quite even, once the target is found, the speed is good to increase a lot, so the reconnaissance force can only choose to retreat, so as not to stimulate this group of zombies.
"The zombies are coming towards us on their own initiative, and there will be a firefight twenty minutes later?" Gong Er said in surprise.
It stands to reason that zombies don't find their prey and are generally too lazy to move around, but now they are moving out of the city purposefully, and they are moving in large groups of zombies en masse, which has to be surprising.
"How many zombies are there, isn't there an accurate number?" asked Wang Lei.
Wang Lei also felt abnormal, but he didn't have time to study now, what the zombies wanted to do, what he wanted to know most now was how many zombies there were.
"Report, the outpost said that there were so many zombies that they couldn't count them at all. The herald replied.
This may be the first time in his military career to make such an ambiguous report, as early as when he was a soldier carrying a gun, the commander told himself that any intelligence must be detailed and accurate, so as to give orders to the commander and provide correct reference.
Just when Wang Lei was still thinking about the problem, another person ran from the front queue, this person is named Ye Chuhan, a first-level speed evolutionary, once a sniper under Qin Guotao, and later Wang Lei dug it up under the pretext of training, and is now the chief instructor of the second battalion of recruits.
"Sir, I feel that this incident is somewhat similar to my previous attack on JZ City, could it be that someone, or a mutant beast, is retaliating and luring out all the zombies in the city?" Ye Chuhan reported directly when he saw Wang Lei.
Ye Chuhan is not a core member of Wang Lei, so he naturally doesn't know that the gathering area is surging now, but he is the one who escaped from the JZ gathering area, and he still remembers the zombie siege, so when he heard the news from the outpost, the first thing that came to mind was the trap.
"Trap, it! Order the troops to stop advancing and prepare for battle!" Wang Lei suddenly shouted loudly.
That's right, it's a trap, and this must be a trap designed for yourself by those guys who are ready to start a riot!
Although he doesn't know how these people did it, Wang Lei understands that the real crisis has emerged.
"No, now we are on the march, the distance between the front and rear is too large, and there are fields all around, vehicles loaded with heavy firepower, we can't quickly reach the front line, if we defend in place, hundreds of thousands of zombies can directly drown us!" glasses objected.
Without bunkers, pillboxes, walls, tank cover, and even heavy machine guns and mortars, it would be a dead end to meet the enemy in the current state.
"Then what should I do? The zombies are about to rush over, and it's too late to retreat!" Wang Lei was so anxious that he was already out of proportion.
"I'll take the death squad to the front, you guys hurry up and retreat. Liang Kai said at this time.
Now the number of members of the death squad has increased several times, reaching more than 400 people, all of whom are equipped with new alloy steel shields, and are stronger than ordinary regular troops in close combat.
"Come on, just your little man, it's not enough for the corpses to charge, hurry up and get the map, now we only have nineteen minutes. The glasses suddenly said very seriously.
is worthy of being a professional soldier, even Wang Lei was a little flustered at this time, but the glasses became more and more calm.
The map was in Wang Lei's car, and in less than ten seconds, a map of the entire territory of Jin County was spread out and pounced on the hood of the car.
Soon, the glasses were on the map, and he found the area where everyone was, and it seems that during this time, he worked the map in order to study the attack plan.
"Two kilometers away from the front of the convoy, there is a broken mountain, if we are fast enough, we can seize the broken mountain before the zombies, occupy the broken mountain, block the road, we can effectively block the charge of the corpses, and buy time for the follow-up troops. Glasses analyzed.
The broken mountain in his mouth is the low hillside encountered when building the highway, this kind of mountain is not high, generally only forty or fifty meters, and the mountain is wide, it is the so-called opening the mountain every mountain, building a bridge when encountering water, the highway wants to be connected, if the road is detoured, a lot of materials have to be wasted, and the bend is too sharp, and it is easy to cause traffic accidents.
If you dig a tunnel to get through, the cost is also very high, and the most effective way is to cut a road in the middle of the mountain and divide a mountain into two, forming a so-called broken mountain.
The proposal of the glasses is to let the troops move forward quickly, seize the two mountains on the broken mountain respectively, and find a way to block the road, so that as long as the mountain and the road are held, the zombies will not be able to come over in a short time.
"Ye Chuhan, your second battalion is now at the forefront of the troops, order the second battalion to get out of the car, advance lightly, and rush to the front of the broken mountain as fast as possible, and after arriving, quickly seize the high ground and block the corpses. ”
"Liang Kai, now is not the time for hand-to-hand combat, order your death squad to throw down their shields, all of them carry ammunition boxes, and deliver ammunition to the blocking troops. ”
"Lu Shanshan, arrange for the road to be cleared quickly, and the giant turtle and the heavily armed vehicles will pass through the ............ first."
Perhaps infected by the calmness of the glasses, Wang Lei finally recovered after the initial panic.
He began to give orders in an orderly manner.
It took only three minutes from the herald to report the enemy's situation, to react, and arrange tactics, and Wang Lei's unit gradually began to change in the direction of the regular army.
Just when everyone was starting to get busy and Wang Lei was about to go to the front line to command, Mu Chunrou rode a second-level mutant dog and also came to Wang Lei, and reported: "Report! Iron Knight Squadron, all members return safely." ”
The reconnaissance force sent by Wang Lei earlier was the Iron Knight Squadron, because only their mobility ability was the most suitable for reconnaissance and transmission of intelligence.
"I'm back so soon, what is the situation on the front line, and how long will it take for the corpses to arrive?" Wang Lei asked.
Although it has been determined that this is a trap laid by the enemy, Wang Lei knows nothing except for a general guess.
"There are too many corpses to count, but I found that among the corpses, there are quasi-third-level zombies, and there is more than one. Mu Chunrou broke a shocking news.
"Quasi-third-level zombies, you can't be mistaken, right?" Gong Er said.
Although Wang Lei and others have never seen quasi-third-level zombies, listening to the depictions of Qin Guotao and others, it seems to be similar to second-level zombies, except for body size and strength, there is no obvious difference in other aspects, which is in the wild, in the case of uneven terrain, it is also possible to be wrong.
If what Mu Chunrou said was a real third-level evolution zombie, everyone would believe it, after all, Mu Chunrou had also seen such a big guy, and he had fought with the other party.
"Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you go, Mu Chunrou, you are now arranging the mutant beast group under your command to be responsible for transporting napalm bombs, if it is really a quasi-third-level zombie, the troops on the front line will probably not be able to withstand it. After Wang Lei finished speaking, he hurriedly walked forward.
According to his speculation, the quasi-third-level zombies may have learned to command the zombie group, and the corpse group with strategy and tactics is the most terrifying.
In the battle against Yanshan Town yesterday afternoon, except for Mu Chunrou and the mutant giant tortoise, all the combat forces above the quasi-level level in the gathering area did not make a move.
In Xiao Yi's words: "Fighting these zombies is like chopping vegetables and melons, and you can't raise any interest." ”
In fact, Wang Lei also felt this way, once upon a time, he was scared to the face of an ordinary M-shaped zombie, and his legs were weak, but now, it is easy to single out two or three hundred zombies, and even Wang Lei sometimes would rather go to the bad luck of mutant beasts than fight with a group of zombies.
At least hunting mutant beasts can not only harvest crystal nuclei, obtain meat, and materials for making weapons, but also master attack skills more proficiently and enhance their combat effectiveness by fighting mutant beasts.
But fighting zombies is always just chopping, chopping, and stabbing, and everyone will become numb.
However, today, in the face of the active attack of the zombie group, everyone no longer has that disdainful mentality.
Standing on the broken mountain, looking at the dense sea of corpses in the distance, with no end in sight, even Xiao Yi couldn't help but gasp.
"Sure enough, it's a quasi-third-level evolutionary zombie, a ...... Two........ Three...... Oh my God! Five of them, this ...... How is this possible, even if the entire Jin County can't give birth to so many quasi-third-level zombies!The zombies in Daodao City have been completely wiped out?" Gong Er put down his binoculars and couldn't help but guess.
In terms of the population of De City, if all the zombies over there are wiped out, and the corpses are not disposed of, it is still possible to produce so many quasi-third-level zombies.
"No, not only that, there should be M-type zombies that we have never seen before, if it is a collective evolution, then it is impossible for M-type zombies to become quasi-third-level, maybe the M-type is too petite, so we didn't notice it. Wang Lei said.
M-type zombies originally belonged to the speed type, and it stands to reason that their killing efficiency should be higher, although because of the speed, the M-type zombies rush to the front line every time, and the mortality rate will definitely be higher, but it is definitely not high enough to kill all of them.
Judging from the current situation, either they have the same goal, and after the M-type zombies evolve into quasi-third-level zombies, they are generally the same as the L-type zombies, so everyone can't tell whether the quasi-third-level evolved zombies in the distance are L-type or M-type.
Either the M-type zombies have evolved and become more petite, and even evolved special abilities similar to Xiao Yi's, which are hidden in the shadows and cannot be discovered.
"Pass the order, beware of the sneak attack of the quasi-third-level M-type zombies, Xiao Yi, Liu Yanbin, you two go to the opposite hill to be on guard, Lu Shanshan and I will guard this side of the mountain, and the Iron Knight Squadron is responsible for guarding the road. Wang Lei ordered.
Since you have guessed that there are quasi-third-level M-type zombies, you must defend in advance to avoid being broken through the formation by zombies.
There are two third-level evolutionaries on each of the two mountains, in addition to a large number of mutant beasts on the highway, there are also perverts like giant turtles, and Mu Chunrou is also a quasi-third-level zombie, with such a strong strength, a quasi-third-level M-type zombie, if he dares to launch a surprise attack, there will definitely be no return.
"Captain, why are you so sure that there must be a quasi-third-level M-type zombie? can't it be a third-level M-type zombie?"
"Because these quasi-third-level zombies have been collectively catalyzed in recent days, it is impossible for there to be a third-level evolutionary zombie, and since it is catalysis, it will not only catalyze one type of zombie, in order to deal with me, these guys have invested enough money!" Wang Lei sighed while explaining.
Up to now, how could Wang Lei not understand that these quasi-third-level zombies must have been fed by someone with a small number of crystal nuclei and a large number of zombies, because the levels of zombies are very uniform, which shows that this group of zombies has only evolved for a few days, and they can't break through the quasi-third-level zombies and can't go further.
And the intelligence investigated by Lao Liang earlier showed that the other party's killer weapon was in the county seat of Jinxian County, and now a large number of zombies took the initiative to attack, which is not enough to explain that this is the other party's killer weapon.
It's just that Wang Lei has not figured out until now, how did these people do it.
It is true that zombies can be catalyzed, Wang Lei has fed a zombie before, and now the Institute of Virology has fed a lot of second-level zombies for experiments, but those zombies are completely unrecognized, and only know how to kill, if someone can feed and control the quasi-third-level zombies, then his strength must be at least a fourth-level, or even a higher evolutionary.
But the question arises again, if an evolutionary of level 4 or higher can easily kill himself in an instant, is it necessary to go to such great lengths?
So Wang Lei fell into a dead loop, not only him, but even the people around him also felt the seriousness of the situation. (To be continued.) )
