Volume 1: Survival in the Sea of Corpses Chapter 355: Defending the City
The ten-kilometer journey was simply full of bumps for the corpses, countless mines, homemade bombs, fuel, and even butterfly mines that did little damage to the zombies were scattered on the battlefield, as long as they could cause the slightest obstacle, anything that could be used was used.
The continuous explosions, one after another, although the power was unsatisfactory, also destroyed a large number of zombies, and even many giant corpses were blown off their legs and feet, and they still crawled and charged towards humans.
The speed of the corpses was slowed down, which also gave the Arrow Legion a lot of buffer time, and for a while, the bazookas and grenades beckoned towards the giant corpses, and the heavy machine gunners also pulled the trigger, and the zombies were hit and fell.
The battle lasted a whole day, and the militia and mercenary groups ran out of ammunition and evacuated the battlefield in advance, but instead of scattering in a hurry, they dug numerous holes along the way and marked them.
When the regular army of the Divine Arrow Legion also consumed almost all the ammunition, most of this wave of zombies was also eliminated, especially the most threatening giant corpses, almost all of them were blasted into pieces by bazookas and grenades, and most of the rest were zombies that were crippled and scrapped, which was no longer to be feared.
So far, a total of more than 6 million zombies have been eliminated, but there are almost no low-level ordinary zombies among the remaining zombies, and even many of them are varieties that humans have not encountered.
At this time, the gray man was forced to finally agree to all the conditions of Wang He, and after handing over the core of the technology, he contributed all the cellular energy reserves of the last reserve, which was enough to maintain the energy reserve of the disc for fifty years.
The energy content of the cell energy is much higher than that of the evolution stock solution, and the side effects are very small, so much energy is not stared at by the gray people, and there is no way to take it away, Wang He really wants to take it all back to Genting City, at least to ensure the consumption of all the ability teams in the next five years.
But to complete the plan, these cellular energy may not be enough, in fact, the plan made by the gray people is not complicated, that is, on the basis of the existing resources, quickly build a small disc that is enough for the five gray people to survive.
But the biggest challenge is that even the simplest structure, barely enough to meet the most basic life support system, takes about four months.
If it is based on human technology, to meet such a few conditions, I am afraid it also needs to be calculated in years, and the biotechnology of the peak of the gray star, with extremely limited resources, can be completed in four months, which is already very fast.
But after four months, the five gray men may have become waste materials for disc recycling, and the mutant gray people have already discovered their hiding place, and the sealed hatch may not be able to hold even half a month.
Now that the deal has been reached, Wang He naturally no longer wastes time, so many days have passed, and he doesn't know what the chaos will be outside, he doesn't want Wu Ting to do anything with a hot brain, in case he provokes a monster like the Devourer, even if the military strength of Genting City is fully used, it will be difficult to win.
But the more you worry about something, the easier it is to happen, Wu Ting has already started a war with Haicheng, and for the time being, the Devourer has not shown up, but it is only a matter of time.
In the early morning of the seventh day, patches of strange zombies began to march in the direction of the human retreat, although there was no all-out charge like a tide-like offensive, but the relatively neat formation and pace showed that there were already high-level mutant creatures, in charge of the command of the corpse group.
The vast endless sea of corpses, stepping into the countless pits dug by humans when they retreated, a large number of zombies fell into a pit several meters deep, only a few can rely on special abilities to climb out, and most of them can only be trampled to death by the zombies who fall in the follow-up until they are filled.
Some of the pits have become a large mass of corpses because they have been squeezed into too much, and the zombies near the edge have even dragged their bodies into two, and the remaining upper body is still crawling forward unswervingly.
The pits have brought a lot of trouble to the corpses, but most of them are still low-level zombies, and many zombies have mutated into many incredible abilities, such as the skinless female zombie covered in green, although the movement is very slow, but it can derive tentacles more than ten meters long from the arm.
These tentacles are extremely fast, and when they fall into a pit, tentacles
It will pop out quickly, hook the things outside the pit with force, and pull them out of the pit violently, but many tentacle zombies will be pressed under the follow-up zombies before they have time to escape, and they will lose hope of escaping.
To say that the most terrifying, or the red color of the short limbs of the fat fat zombies, although their limbs are pitiful short, the flesh of the body is as soft as mud, like an upside-down bowl lying on the ground, but their movement speed is definitely not slow.
They are like soft meat balls, actually with the help of rolling to achieve the purpose of rapid movement, the most terrifying thing is that when they fall into the pit, they can compress the fat and soft shape, relying on the elasticity of the body, bounce up more than ten meters high.
And even if they are pressed by the corpses, these meat balls will spit out round black balls, which look very soft, but the terrible thing is that the black balls will explode, the power is comparable to that of a grenade, and the range is more than ten meters away, and there is no harm to themselves.
If this does not let these explosive corpses get out of the predicament, they will choose to self-destruct when they are grumpy, and the power is even more amazing, in a twenty-meter-wide and five-meter-deep pit, all the zombies will be blown into flying ashes, and its power can reach the lethality of 155 howitzers.
That's not all, from the video of the drone reconnaissance, I also saw many strange zombies, some of them are about two meters tall, as thin as a bamboo pole, but the running speed is amazing, comparable to the speed-type ability, and there is a thin layer of bone fragments outside the body, like a blade.
There are also zombies with a body size of three meters, as strong as an ox, and they also use telephone poles, big trees, etc. as weapons, and the zombies who can use weapons are also the first time to see, and they have speculated that this kind of zombie is not only strong, but also may have extremely high intelligence.
Everyone regretted provoking this terrible group of corpses, the key is that if there are only tens of thousands, it is not enough to be afraid, but looking at the huge sea of corpses densely packed with millions on the video, it is fake not to be afraid.
Now the ammunition consumption is too huge, armored vehicles and tanks have all been dispatched, before running out of ammunition, ready to reduce the number of zombies to the greatest extent possible by walking and fighting, but it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
In the rear of the corpse group, the towering hundred-meter zombies have not yet been fully dispatched, and after these ammunition are consumed, what will be used to deal with those terrifying big guys.
Wu Ting didn't care so much, while ordering to continue digging pits and digging holes, while directing the armored troops to divert and harass the enemy, it seemed like a calculation to lure the corpse group to other areas.
Shi Chong and Liang Hao took a large group of sappers and militiamen, and they didn't help dig the pit, but were busy in the big crack where the corpse king fell every day, and they didn't know what to do, while Li Chenyang was urging the processing and production of various ammunition every day.
Genting City, from the elderly to the children, all mobilized, and even the disabled who had not had time to transplant prosthetics had to help make arrows every day, such as sticky glue and winding strings.
Finally, when the pit was dug near the big crack, the tank's ammunition was also consumed, but the direction of the corpse group never changed, and everyone in the Divine Arrow Legion set up their guns on this side of the big crack and prepared for the final decisive battle.
The corpses had crossed countless traps and finally arrived in front of the humans, and the last few tanks and armored vehicles had retreated from the newly built iron bridges above the large chasm, and it seemed that the work of the sappers in the past few days was mainly to build these bridges.
Many people don't understand, what are you doing with the trouble of building these bridges, isn't it convenient for zombies to cross the big crack?
In fact, the purpose is really like this, many battles with zombies, people have found that low-level zombies without brains, in the face of the lure of humans, even if there is an abyss under their feet, they will not hesitate to jump down.
But if there is a commander, the zombies will generally choose to take a detour, but the command of the zombies will not be so accurate, for example, now that there is a bridge on the bridge, the commander will definitely let the zombies pass through the bridge, but the narrow bridge deck simply can't accommodate so many zombies.
Countless zombies squeezed onto the flat bridge without guardrails, and more zombies walked directly forward from the edge of the crack, and zombies were falling down the bridge all the time, which was better than the lethality of throwing a bomb.
Humans are stubbornly guarding the bridge, and a steel cable is erected in the center of the bridge.
The steel cables ran through the entire bridge, pulled by powerful tanks, and as the tanks moved from side to side, the tight steel cables tripped a large number of zombies under the bridge.
In this way, using the natural barrier and human wisdom, a large number of zombies were killed in the case of an extreme lack of ammunition, and humans temporarily gained the upper hand.
Of course, casualties are inevitable, flying corpses that can jump extremely high and slide, corpses that can explode at a distance, and speed zombies will bring some damage to some extent, but basically within a controllable range. c
After a day of fierce fighting, the sky was dark, every soldier of the Divine Arrow Legion was extremely tired, but still high, but the corpses strangely stopped attacking, and behind the corpses, one by one huge black shadows like mountains, accompanied by the trembling of the ground, slowly approached.
It's a hundred-meter giant corpse.
The giant corpse is like the eternal nightmare of mankind, without missile weapons with huge lethality, for these behemoths, there is no means to contend with them, and a military shelter with quite strong armed forces is difficult to resist a giant corpse of 100 meters.
And this is the second time that Genting City has faced a large number of hundred-meter giant corpses, if it weren't for the fact that there was a bottomless huge crack in the bombing last time, it would be like a tricky victory, I'm afraid Genting City has already fallen, and this time will there be good luck last time?
