Chapter 729: The rank of lieutenant colonel



"Huhu, huhu, everyone will rest." Sun Jianqiu landed on the ground with the butt of his rifle and rested softly against the wall of the room.

The fighters around him were no better. In order to lighten the load, their helmets have long been thrown away. Everyone's faces were covered with exhaustion, and their lips were chapped with white skin.

"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've practiced like this, and it seems like I'm back to the past." However, the mood of the fighters was quite high. They took turns holding a glass of water to moisten their lips, with a small half glass of water in it.

"You guys." Hearing this, Sun Jianqiu's face also 'revealed' a smile.

Since Gong Xiuli accidentally said in her contact with them that the Jiangcheng side was also fighting, Sun Jianqiu gave up the idea of returning to the camp. The ten of them are constantly attracting zombies on the highway in Wujiang County.

Although there are not many zombies on this highway, there are 10,000 or 20,000 after so many tens of kilometers. This is the best way that Sun Jianqiu and the others have come up with to reduce the burden on the base.

"Have we killed thousands of assassin zombies?" A young soldier in his twenties with a shaved head counts his remaining bullets.

"It should be about the same, now we basically have one shot." As a scout team, they have more magazines, and each person has basically six or seven. At the beginning, there were still a lot of assassin zombies, and the accuracy of "shooting" could not be guaranteed. Now there are usually a dozen or so rushing up, and they have no problem at all.

"Now it's a little far away from the base, and even the communication signal has been lost. Let's hope we can hold off some more zombies. Leaning against the wall of this gas station, the soldiers looked at the looming zombie group in the distance, and they were all a little silent.

Since they began to attract zombies in Wujiang County, Sun Jianqiu and the soldiers had not slept either, and they only had half an hour of rest at most, and they had to continue on their way. Continuing along the road, when the zombies become stagnant, they have to return and shoot a few shots to continue to provoke them.

Hard work, isn't it? Laborious! But Gong Xiuli and Ma Ping kept pleading, and even ordered Yu Ning personally, and Sun Jianqiu did not return to the base. As long as they drilled into the mountains and forests on both sides, there was a good chance that they would be able to get rid of these zombie hordes, but the warriors did not.

"Isn't it just a long-distance training, we can last at least three days. By then, the cold team has built the fortress, and then we will have a good rest and go home! ”

"It's a pity that we didn't get a few giant bear zombies to eat ashes behind us." The fighters didn't know how much their actions would help the base, but they were willing to try if they could help.

There are already layers of white "color" crystals behind the "camouflage" uniforms on their bodies, which are the salt left behind by the condensation of sweat. Now Sun Jianqiu and the others have discarded most of their equipment, and their empty backpacks have also been thrown away, and they need to look for supplies in the field.

While people were chatting, two fighters who had explored the gas station returned.

"There have been survivors in this neighborhood before, and there is no scum left for us." The veteran "licked" his lips and raised the pile of plants he was clutching. "However, I found some aloe vera for everyone to quench their thirst."

Without hesitation, each warrior picked up a stick of aloe vera and chewed it slowly, moistening their parched lips with the moisture from the plant's leaves. "Hehe, if you let me go back in time now. Not to mention the reconnaissance battalion, the recruitment requirements of the special forces are also five fingers to catch the snail - take it steadily. ”

When the soldiers rested for about twenty minutes again, and the zombie hordes following them were clearly visible, the tired soldiers stood up one after another. "Bang!" With a crisp gunshot, Sun Jianqiu blasted the head of a zombie that was still about four hundred meters away from them.

"Gone, gone. It's really boring now, and the little assassin doesn't come out to make love. The ten warriors slowly stepped onto the road and continued to walk forward. Behind them was a group of zombies moving slowly along the road.

Sun Jianqiu didn't know about them, and they didn't know the Shibaozhai base that had lost contact with them. In the past few days, they have almost traveled nearly 100 kilometers along the highway and have already walked out of the boundary of Jiangcheng.

And although the zombie group behind them was not as dense as the zombie group attacking the fortress, under Sun Jianqiu's constant teasing, there were at least thirty or forty thousand zombies on this road. These zombie groups could only follow Sun Jianqiu and them in vain to eat ashes.

"These people are definitely regular soldiers!" On a mountain bag still a little away from Sun Jianqiu and them, two men in clothes that obviously didn't fit well were watching them with binoculars.

Sun Jianqiu and the others only remembered to attract zombies, and they seemed to have forgotten a little. After walking down the process of dozens of kilometers, the total number of zombies blocking in front of them was only about a hundred. This is the end of the world, although the highway is sparsely populated, but it is impossible to have only such a few zombies.

When Sun Jianqiu and the others turned a corner and rested again, a man's voice suddenly sounded from the grass on the side. "Warriors, we have what it takes to rescue you. If you want to join us, wave at us! ”

Sun Jianqiu looked at the grass not far away with some surprise, there was a red "color" flag that had been made out of time, and there were hundreds of survivors wielding various weapons.

Bayi bars, small-caliber air guns, shotguns and even homemade gunpowder guns. These survivors kept waving the weapons in their hands and signaled to Sun Jianqiu and them. "This, what's going on?" Looking at the survivors who were a little elated with copycat weapons, Sun Jianqiu was puzzled.

The two men raised their hands and walked towards Sun Jianqiu and them. "Wehrmacht soldiers, you have worked hard, we are here to rescue everyone!" A middle-aged man with a big back greeted Sun Jianqiu with some reserve.

The other man beside him stepped forward and saluted Sun Jianqiu. "Report to the commander, a retired soldier of the third company of the second battalion of the third regiment of the twenty-fifth division, Huang Yiqing reports to you."

Sun Jianqiu looked at the rank on his shoulder, and "revealed" a self-deprecating smile. I don't know which girl got it, but he has a lieutenant colonel's epaulette on his clothes. In the Doomsday team, he has long forgotten about this position promoted in the line of fire.

Sun Jianqiu replied very casually, "There is a group of zombies following us behind, how many of you are here?" ”

As soon as the middle-aged man heard Sun Jianqiu's tone, his brows furrowed, "We people may not be able to go to the battlefield to deal with the zombie group, you can go into the mountain with us, so that the zombie group will not be able to find us soon." ”

Sun Jianqiu smiled casually, ignored him, and just looked at the retired soldier Huang Yiqing. As a soldier, Sun Jianqiu could see at a glance that this man had just retired, and the military aura on his body was still very heavy.

"Lieutenant Colonel, we are all survivors here, more than 300 people in all. But there was a shortage of weapons, and they could only fight guerrillas. This is a civil servant of the Statistics Bureau of Wujiang County, Lei Guangfu, section chief. Huang Yiqing replied honestly.

Sun Jianqiu nodded politely to the middle-aged man, "Thank you for your kindness." We have a mission to hold back these zombie hordes, and the large army behind them is encircling and suppressing them. You can help us or wait for help. ”

As soon as they heard Sun Jianqiu's words, the eyes of the two lit up.

"We've launched ****?" Huang Yiqing's face was pleasantly surprised.

"Big troops? Do we still have formed troops? Lei Guangfu's face also "showed" a smile.

When Sun Jianqiu revealed that two regiment-sized troops were fighting against the zombie group, Lei Guangfu and the others became even more enthusiastic. The survivors on the mountain also came down with some water and food to comfort Sun Jianqiu and them.

Sun Jianqiu proposed that they needed to rest at this time, and asked Huang Yiqing to lead people to attract them a little when the zombie group came. Lei Guangfu and they hurriedly agreed. The soldiers around him all held back their laughter one by one, trying to tense their faces, watching these survivors go about their lives.

If it were just a dozen of them, they might have grabbed guns or lured them into this small unit. But Sun Jianqiu's use of his military rank and the situation of the big war behind him gave these survivors great hope that they were absolutely safe at this time.

Two regimental units with the rank of lieutenant colonel. That's enough for the survivors to invest in them instead of having other ideas.

"Are these people really military men? Is the information they say reliable? When Sun Jianqiu and the others began to sleep in the mountain bag in the mountain forest, the survivors were also discussing.

"Definitely the regular army, that's no problem. And they should really have a task, otherwise there is no need for a dozen or so people to tease the zombie group. ”

"A regimental army! Two regiments! Now we are saved. Okay, let's take a gamble. Take out all the gasoline and give them a boost on the highway when the zombies come. In the future, I will take this as a battle achievement! ”

Sun Jianqiu had just fallen asleep at this time, and they were exhausted and needed to rest. Only two veterans were left as guards, and they just watched Lei Guangfu's actions silently. Sun Jianqiu's faint contempt for the zombie group made the survivors believe in their strength even more.

People began to pile up all kinds of debris on the road, they didn't think about fighting the zombie horde, but as Huang Yiqing said, there is no problem in getting a guerrilla war. This is a war era, and the power of the army must be the largest, and to hold this thick leg, they need a down-to-earth vote.

The previous idea of waiting for rescue, the army as the savior of the people, has long been worn out by reality. Their greatest wish now is to become a member of the army, so that they can continue to survive in this world.
