Chapter 924: Zombies?
Chapter 924: Zombies?
Passing along the official road between the two hills, the surrounding environment suddenly became a little different, and the air that felt a little cool at the southern pier ferry port suddenly became gloomy, not only gloomy, but even a rotten smell wafted in the air. %Net,
This smell was not so strong at first, but the further you go, the stronger the smell becomes, Gan Ning couldn't help but sniffle, his brows furrowed, this smell is not so good, and not far above Yancheng, the yin wind and sassy dead air gathered into a cloud, and as far as the eye can see, there seems to be no living creatures around at all.
There were countless corpses on both sides of the official road that were completely rotten, leaving only bones, and on the ground, there was a bloodstained crimson color, and if you looked a little closer, you would find that the soil of this land was degrading, showing signs of desertification, the trees were dry, there was no green in the ground, and there seemed to be not a single yellow weed.
Poof, a soldier vomited uncontrollably, apparently the rancid smell had risen to the level of poisonous gas, and there was the first, there was the second.
"Division commander, you can't go any further, this smell is not small, it is estimated that when we get to the city, it would be good if half of our three thousand people were still standing, we have to think of a way!"
Gan Ning originally thought that it would be easy to take Yancheng, because the 10,000 landing soldiers and horses he led, but the elite backbones drawn from various armies were all psychics or above, or reached the samurai level, after research, the death gas plague was not a big threat to them, but obviously, it also depended on the situation.
"Go back first!" Before he was halfway away, Gan Ning could only order a temporary return to the Taihu Lake Pier, he was now wondering how the mob in Yancheng survived, and whether there were really anyone alive there.
The topography of Yancheng is a big trouble, usually because of the terrain, the temperature here is higher than elsewhere, so there is also the name of the steamer Yancheng, and obviously this special terrain is simply the cradle of the lifeless plague.
Because the air cannot be circulated, the dead gas gathers and clouds, and after the corpse decomposes, the rancid smell cannot escape, even these people can't stand it, and ordinary people can't bear it, it is estimated that if they stay for half a day, they will have to die from this putrid poisonous gas, and looking at the number of corpses on both sides of Yancheng, the number of people who died because of the death plague here will definitely not be a small number.
"What should I do!" Gan Ning was a little depressed, thinking that he could show his strength, but he didn't expect to retreat without even touching the city gate.
"There are many hills around Yancheng, these hills enclose Yancheng into a basin like the bottom of a pot, at this time, it is already very hot, there is little wind, and there is no wind here, so the rancid smell is so strong, I think, if you want to enter Yancheng, you have to blow away the rancid smell here!"
"Otherwise, there is no need to fight at all, just this rancid smell can make us lose our combat effectiveness, we are all like this, and whether those mobs in Yancheng still exist is a question, but I heard from the people below, someone was indeed dumping corpses into the lake before, and the situation in Yancheng is a bit complicated!"
Gan Ning thought for a while, nodded, and said, "In our army, how many earth spirit masters who are good at wind spirit skills are called!"
"I'll do the statistics, but I don't think there are too many!"
"Go ahead, if you can't do it, you can only ask for someone from the military aircraft department, damn, why is my luck so bad!" Gan Ning waved his fist fiercely, venting his unhappiness.
Just when Gan Ning was blocked outside Yancheng, in the wharf area west of Yangzhou City, the Second Land and Water Division attacked Yangzhou City.
The scale of the Second Marine Division is much larger than that of Gan Ning's Fourth Division, and this time it is the important task of recovering Yangzhou City, the commander of the Xuanwu Corps, Yue Fei personally led the army to board the Yangzhou dock, and the number of soldiers and horses available under Yue Fei's command is about 18,000 people.
The landing is still continuing, and the soldiers and horses who disembarked first have begun to enter Yangzhou City from the west gate of Yangzhou City, 18,000 soldiers for Yangzhou City, which has a population of millions, is like a stone falling into a waterhole.
"Ma Wu, Zhang Shun, Liu Xing, the three of you collect some firewood nearby, and the rest of you work in groups of two, search for me from door to door, and pull the dead outside and burn them together, if there are still living people, you can save them, and if you can't save them, you can give them a happy one, your hands and feet are sharp, act!"
"Head, look at it like this, it is estimated that this place has been robbed, do you think there will be anyone in this city!"
"Who knows, even if there is, what if, if you really dare to attack, you will cut it for me!"
Xicheng Gate Tower, Yue Fei and a few generals put down the headquarters here, looking at Xicheng District condescendingly, in some streets, alleys, piles of fires have been lit, of course, this is not a bonfire for entertainment parties, but a fire for burning dead bodies.
"Commander, the progress of the six battalions entering the city is going fairly smoothly at present, and there are no living people for the time being, but judging from the situation reported from everywhere, most of the shops along the streets of Xicheng have been looted, and there are even traces of houses being burned, in addition, judging from some of the corpses found on the street, many people should have died of massacre, not the plague!"
"Well, let the various departments that have entered the city step by step, clean up the streets one by one, whether there are still mobs in the city, it is difficult for us to figure out, be careful!"
It's not that Yue Fei is timid, but Yangzhou City now has a strange aura, in short, be careful and not mistaken.
In the former Yangzhou West Market, where merchants gathered, the most prosperous area of Yangzhou City, a team of soldiers stepped into the West Market, and still began to clean up the dead bodies and burn them as explained above.
But a few soldiers who went to collect firewood in a nearby shop stepped into a large shop, and saw that there were several people in a shop, ghosts and ghosts, from the physical characteristics, these should be people, but look at them, their whole body has rotted, their faces are like a dry corpse, how terrible it is, how terrible it is, but they are still devouring the corpse of a dead corpse, which is even more terrifying.
"Gollum, Captain Wu, what should I do!"
"Kill!" A big man led by a heavy mountain splitting knife stepped forward directly, slashing at these monsters who were not flexible in their movements, while the other soldiers were also swallowing and spitting, although they were a little scared at first, but they were all elites who had seen blood on their hands and killed people.
Several people stepped forward and slashed down with a burst of knives, but these terrible monsters did not have much power to resist, and they were knocked to the ground after three strikes and five divisions.
"Vomit!" a soldier turned around and vomited, which was ten times more damn terrible than on the battlefield, at least the blood of the people killed on the battlefield was bright red, and the blood of these people was already black, and it smelled of great strength.
"Quit!" Wu Chang's face also changed, and he hurriedly held his breath, the smell was really unbearable: "I'll report it, you guys cut down some doors and windows next to it!"
"Found a person who is rotten all over his body but can still move, after killing, there is a foul-smelling black blood left all over his body, these blood seem to contain a large amount of dead gas plague, and even has a strong corrosive nature, our armor can not block the corrosion, and when it falls on the body, the dead air will stain the body, quickly devouring the flesh and blood, fortunately, there is a vitality pill at a critical moment to play a role, controlling the spread of the dead gas, but the situation is still not very optimistic!"
"The low-grade Vitality Pill needs at least four or five pills to be effective, and the medium-grade one also needs two pills, and the one that can be quickly effective is estimated to be the high-grade Vitality Pill to be possible!
Yue Fei also frowned when he heard this, and said, "Let's go, go to the front and take a look!"
Chuzhou, Vermilion Bird City.
Leng Zhuo looked at the latest military report sent from Yangzhou, and almost couldn't believe his eyes, Damn, Resident Evil? The whole body is rotten, but it is still like a living walking corpse, isn't this a zombie.
And found this kind of existence, not only in one place, from the news transmitted back from several mobilized soldiers and horses, almost all encountered this kind of dead zombies, these guys are easy to kill, but the problem is that these guys emit rancid poisonous gas all over their bodies like poisonous people, and the blood is like a black corrosive liquid, once it is contaminated, it will make people's flesh and blood dry up, and it is difficult for ordinary vitality pills to be effective against it.
This is still the situation transmitted back from Yangzhou, from Beizhen, and from Zhishui City, and in Yancheng, Gan Ning, who was sent to subdue this place, was even more rewarded, and they were forced to retreat without even entering the city.
Leng Zhuo had been to that place in Yancheng twice, so he naturally knew the terrain there, and just thinking about it, Leng Zhuo had a spectrum in his mind, and that place in Yancheng was estimated to be more dangerous than other places.
Damn, I didn't expect that I only planned to dry it for a while, and let the plague help him solve the local forces that were intertwined in Yangzhou, so it was delayed for three months, and Leng Zhuo originally refined the Vitality Pill, so he always thought that he could control the situation, but obviously, there was an unforeseen accident in the situation.
These, well, the right to call them zombies, is this the consequence of too much death condensation, it's not impossible to think about it, there are always some people who have not died under the plague of death, and those who survived, even if they are still alive and conscious, but their bodies have been rotted by death and can't be seen.
Speaking of which, Ran Min's dead cavalry guard is not also composed of this group of dead warriors, it seems that this force really can't be used casually, but now Leng Zhuo regrets it and it's useless, let's think about how Yangzhou should end.
"The Military Aircraft Department can have a countermeasure!"
"Back to His Highness, we have urgently summoned some Heavenly Spirit powerhouses, and in view of the battle situation, we have urgently issued an order to the Logistics Department to order a batch of spears, as well as the recovery work for Yangzhou, which has been postponed for the time being, and sent strong people to investigate the situation first, and then make arrangements!"
"Well, let's do it first!" Leng Zhuo didn't say much, but he already had a plan in his heart, he planned to go to Yangzhou in person to see the situation in Jinfeng Mansion and Songjiang Mansion, and of course, the main thing was to see how tricky the zombies appeared on the front line.
