Chapter 603: The City That Is Dying

Standing on the wide bridge deck, Leng Yang's heart was like falling into an extremely cold ice cellar. The bridge, which could accommodate four cars, was now covered with humans, and thirty-four people were silent on the bridge.

As far as they could see, the dense "zombie carpet" on the other side of the river stretched out a large section towards the people, and a large section could be seen with the 'naked eye'. Leng Yang could see under several large bridge piers, which should have been a place where the river was surging and was now covered by a sea of zombies.

After 'fighting' with the zombie herds along the highway along the river, people can guess that there are far more than 300,000 zombies on the other side. Look at the zombie hordes advancing at the same time along the entire river bank, like a black line. This is their real strength, the real opponent of people in the last days, millions of zombie seas!

In the telescope, Leng Yang could see that at the junction of the river and the "naked" and "exposed" river bed, the "waves" and "flowers" splashed everywhere, and a lot of black "colored" blood splashed everywhere. Those monster fish with a length of four or five meters that have mutated and grown up after the end of the world are fighting with the zombie hordes that are constantly entering the water.

These crocodile-like heads, monster fish that can bite off an assassin zombie directly with a single bite, also rise and fall on the surface of the river, and there are at least hundreds of them. The people on the bridge watched speechlessly as these mutant beasts were fighting bravely against the swarming sea of zombies.

"Bang", a strange fish sprinted violently in the water, swam to the shallow water of the "current", and jumped out of the water at once. The spiky fangs bit off the big 'leg' of an iron-armored zombie in one bite, and the black 'colored' blood stained the nearby river black. At the same time, its large tail swung and knocked an assassin zombie that pounced on it.

The monster fish has a body almost the size of a speedboat, and can pose a threat to people's rafts, so it is naturally easy to deal with one or two zombies. But the zombies in front of it are far from being as simple as one or two.

The sudden drop of the river for unknown reasons gave the red 'colored' monsters that controlled the sea of zombies a good opportunity. Under its control, a large number of zombies poured into the riverbed, and the moat that had protected the survivors of Xiangcheng for months was slowly becoming less reliable.

The strange fish was wounded, and it struggled desperately in the shallow waters, perhaps trying to defend its hard-won "territory", or perhaps for something else. But there were more and more zombies in front of it, a large number of ironclad zombies, and several giant bear zombies appeared beside it.

Slowly, the whole body of the white 'colored' strange fish was submerged by the black 'color' 'waves' and 'tides'. Although occasionally people can still see a white 'colored' tail rolling in the black 'colored' human 'tide', but gradually, in the field where the battle had just begun, there was no longer a strange fish.

Leng Yang and they watched from a distance on the bridge, these strange fish could not be said to be friends of humans. In the past, when humans went down to the river to fish, they were sometimes attacked by strange fish. These 'carnivorous' and 'sexual' fish also serve humans as a good meal.

But now watching these strange fish fighting the zombie sea one by one in vain, the people on the bridge can't help but feel a little desolate, they can't beat the zombie sea. Even if they are alien creatures from the Americas and do not belong to the land of China, at least at this moment, they have a common identity.

The sea of zombies under the control of the red 'color' monster is the enemy of life and death for all primates on the entire earth. They are like a black "tide" of death, trampled by them wherever they walk, and perhaps only cockroaches and rats can continue to survive.

"According to the report, the water level of the Yangtze River is now only 32 meters, which is already a very low water level value in the dry season!" Looking at Leng Yang's incomprehensible appearance, a man who followed Lin Yuxuan made a rough explanation, which meant that the river had fallen to a very low water level in previous years.

"Will it continue to decline?"

"How deep is the river now? Can the sea of zombies cross the river? People's questions made the man panic. It took a long time for him to recharge his tone.

"I don't know about the decline of the river. However, the dry period in previous years was caused by a long period of no rain, and now Xiangcheng has also not rained for a long time. Listening to this man's words, Leng Yang's brows furrowed even tighter.

Liu Chen's slender eyes kept turning, and it was obvious that today's events made him have to reconsider many things. Wu Liguo and Liu Jingjing beside him are not very good, if the river continues to fall, then everything is over.

The man continued, "Now the river is not clear, some places may be tens of meters deep, and some places may only be about ten meters. His voice was a little muffled, "And as the river decreases, the amount of water passing through per unit of time decreases, that is, the impulse in the river is not enough, and it will not be enough to wash the zombies away." ”

Leng Yang gritted his teeth, "What's your name, what occupation did you have before?" Listening to his question, a glimmer of hope flashed in people's hearts, maybe what this man said was speculation? Maybe the river will rise in a few days?

"Captain Leng, my name is Du Mingyu." The man in his thirties with a slender face replied in a formal manner, his words shattering everyone's illusions. "I'm a researcher at the Orange Island Head Hydrological Station, and I've been observing hydrology here since I graduated from university."

Du Mingyu was specially recruited by Leng Yang to join the Doomsday team and became a probationary team member. But this does not help people to do anything about the situation of the river falling, and now all the survivors in Xiangcheng are only in their early 10,000s, and there is no way to resist the forces of nature.

The meeting of the joint command was suspended, and no one had the heart to discuss how to annihilate the zombie hordes along the riverside road. After more than ten days of war, people already know that in the absence of defense facilities, the battle loss ratio between them and the zombie sea is amazingly high.

The sea of zombies on the other side of the river is simply not something that people can deal with. It can be said that it is overwhelming, like a 'wave' and 'tide' of the zombie sea, if this section of the river is crossed, everything in Xiangcheng will cease to exist.

"It's okay for everyone to go back and discuss, but everyone remembers to block the news. The news can't get out on the beach base, or we're really doomed. Liu Jingjing's words made people all nod their heads heavily, they still knew the severity.

There are only three ways out of the Xiangcheng Peninsula, and the riverbank bridge in front of it was blown up by people, and this road is not passable, but after the river falls, it will become the attack road of the zombie sea.

On the east-west highway along the river, there is now a sea of zombies on one side that makes people do their best, and on the other side is the road to Shangcheng, which is estimated to have fallen long ago. That city last fall, Huang Yingyang and they were still preparing to go to the rescue. All of a sudden, people found out in a daze that the Xiangcheng Peninsula, which they thought was safe, was dying step by step.

"Team Leng, if those zombie seas come over, we won't be able to resist at all, why don't we leave now?"

The current advance team has a small 2,000 men, and it will take several times to carry it on the Iowa. There are also a large number of materials obtained in Xiangcheng, which will take time. The bald man's proposal is not unreasonable.

In the conference room of the Doomsday team, Leng Yang and they are holding a meeting. Not only the veteran players, but also Li Huaide, who performed well in Xiangcheng, Long Tianya, the new senior researcher of the Technology Department, and Qian Youshu, who was very serious during this time, were all on the list.

Leng Yang looked at the people with some sad faces, and cleared his throat, "Everyone understands the current situation, and I have another situation to tell you about it." ”

"Shi Baozhai's team has come to support us, Shi Yifan and they are now waiting on Jiangxin Island with 'Missouri' and two other freighters." In order to boost people's low morale, and in order to better work together, Leng Yang finally told the news that only a few people knew.

There was a deathly silence in the room, and then a loud cheer. Zhou Lei and Wu Shanwei banged on the table vigorously, shouting nonsense. And Yan Shibin and Zhao Xing seemed to be calm to light cigarettes, but their hands were so shaky that they couldn't light the fire for a long time.

"Missouri? Isn't this a foreign warship? What does it have to do with us? "There are still newcomers in the team, such as Qian Youshu, who can't figure out the situation.

"Haha, Brother Qian, that's a random name. You just need to know that we have ships, and now there are four ships in total, steel ships with a displacement of at least 100 tons. Li Xiaoshi patted Qian Youshu's back vigorously and shouted happily.

The people in this conference room are all key members of the Doomsday team, and Qian Youshu and they were also accepted after being inspected during this time and worthy of trust. Leng Yang has confidence in himself, and everyone has confidence in the Doomsday team, so there should be no need to worry about betrayal now.

When Qian Youshu heard people's explanations, his eyes suddenly widened. Sure enough, I saw the opportunity quickly, and the Doomsday team was not so weak. Not only him, but many people in Iowa have seen it, and at that time they were already shocked by the huge strength of the team, and now there are three more ships?

Sun Jianqiu was giving Feng Ye a cigarette, Lin Yuxuan was chatting with He Min, and Li Huaide was loudly assuring Guo Mingfan that he would 'get' a la carte to come out. The feeling of seeing hope in despair makes people feel as if they have suddenly removed a big stone from their hearts, and they feel very happy.

"Everyone be quiet, my idea is how to take away as many survivors as possible who are willing to follow us under the premise of the zombie sea pressure realm. Also, how to make sure that the appearance of the ship does not cause 'commotion' and 'chaos'. You can put forward any opinions on these things! ”

With Leng Yang's words, the conference room gradually became quiet. "Everyone has seen that the zombie hordes are getting bigger and bigger."

Leng Yang's voice became a little muffled, "If we all want to survive in this world, we must continue to look for like-minded compatriots, otherwise we will not be able to stop those zombies who are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more zombies evolving!" ”

Leng Yang's prediction in this world was not wrong, and the zombie group became more and more huge. If he had stayed in Shibaozhai, he might have been able to live a good life for a year or two, but the sea of zombies would ruthlessly crush them.

And it is the same in Xiangcheng, if he evacuates now, there is no problem with his safety. But the next time the zombie sea attacked again, would his comrades-in-arms and his companions have enough strength to fight against these zombie seas that were counted in hundreds of thousands or even millions?
