Chapter 167: Recovering City C, the base of the Federation Army
Looking at the Tang Heng knife weighing 1,387 catties in his hand, Li Lin's fingers lightly swiped across the back of the knife, and the cold touch felt from the inside out, and an inexplicable killing aura filled his heart.
After the combination of laser meteorite and metallic mutant beast blood, it underwent a drastic change, not only increasing its hardness, but also increasing its density, which was more than five times more powerful than refined weapons.
The whole blade is one hundred and forty centimeters long, the blade is one meter long, the handle is thirty-six centimeters long, the knife is three .5 centimeters wide, and the knife is 0.5 centimeters thick.
The dark red blade was covered with fine irregular dragon scales, the edge of the blade was glowing with a little gold, and there were blood grooves on both sides.
"Moanβ"
Li Lin just waved his hand, and he felt a faint dragon groan in the air.
"Good knives!"
Li Lin was full of praise, "It's really a good knife." β
With the growth of his strength, the original horse chopping knife is no longer applicable, with his stature, this Tang Heng knife, which can be used with both one hand and two hands, is very suitable.
It is imitated by Dr. Huang in the Dusk Divide, but unfortunately it lacks technical support and cannot achieve its own characteristics.
The only advantage is that it is hard and sharp enough, but it is enough for Li Lin.
Because of this, it was named the broken king's blade by Li Lin.
Compared to the previous dragon scale knife, this dilapidated king's blade can easily cut it with one sword, and it is even more effortless to kill ordinary zombies.
With this broken king's blade, he is also qualified to compete with Steel Purgatory.
Looking at the remaining laser meteorite, Li Lin said, "Put the remaining materials into the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion." β
In the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion, the price of a good refined weapon is twenty White Tiger Dou points, while the price of a laser weapon is set at 10,000 points, which is five hundred times that of a refined weapon.
Although no one can exchange it for the time being, it can stimulate others and give them a goal to strive for.
The laser meteorite is extremely precious, and Li Lin gives it a corresponding value, which can be taken out and rewarded to his subordinates in the future.
He has never been a stingy person, and if he pays, he will be rewarded.
Armed with the broken King's Blade, Li Lin rushed to the frontline battlefield in City C again, and he wanted to try the sharpness of the weapon in his hand.
With the passage of time, human beings are getting stronger, zombies are also evolving, and the original dragon scale knife is also riddled with holes under his long-term use, dealing with increasingly strong mutant zombies, especially cutting on the opponent's hard bone armor There is an obvious sense of frustration.
In this case, it is natural to need to re-use the stronger mutant beast blood to forge refined weapons.
Li Lin was too lazy to toss, and he kept thinking about his weapon in the twilight realm, the King's Blade, so he didn't replace it.
This time when encountering the giant axe purgatory, everything will naturally fall into place.
After killing for seven days and seven nights in a row, Li Lin only felt that the sword in his hand had no opponent.
Killing an enemy is like chopping melons and vegetables, and there is no enemy.
On the twenty-eighth day, the main urban area of City C was recaptured, and only some subordinate satellite towns were still struggling.
During this period, Li Lin killed a large number of mutant zombies, as well as ordinary zombies, and his level increased again.
"Name: Li Lin (Wind)"
"Rating: 21 (13%)"
"Constitution: 1962.8 (1958.8+4)"
"Power: 1755 8"
"Dexterity: 1736.5"
"Spirit: 661.4"
β¦β¦
The level came to twenty-one, and the original increase of two free attribute points for each level of promotion also came to four points, and the increased attribute after the upgrade was the same as he guessed, which was one point and three times.
Now he has completely surpassed himself in the previous life, whether it is the four attributes, or the true strength.
The main urban area of City C was recovered, and in the past three days, the satellite towns under City C were all recovered by the city guards.
In this regard, Li Lin did not have much excitement.
Although a large number of mutant zombies were killed, there were still some of the top mutant zombies who fled from C city before he occupied it.
For example, the cunning and ferocious Sky Splitting Wolf King that Li Lin had seen in the Wannian Community.
The Sirius Guard had seen its traces on the fifteenth day of the attack on City C, but now that City C had been completely recovered, it was nowhere to be seen.
In this regard, Zhang Jie, who was in charge of the operation in City C, gave two answers.
First, some mutant zombies developed an autonomous consciousness and chose to flee in the face of the unstoppable Sky Wolf Guard.
Second, they sensed the danger and hid.
Under City C, there are a large number of underground caves extending in all directions, which were once the main transportation of the city, the subway line and the high-speed rail line.
With the fission of the water blue star, some of the caves collapsed and blocked, but some of them got bigger and bigger.
The cave is dark and deep, and it is not clear where it leads.
For these caves, the Sky Wolf Guard doesn't have much energy to explore at the moment, and he doesn't want to explore.
Zhang Jie personally took people down to investigate, and there were traces of zombies inside, but the more he walked inside, the more depressing and breathless it became.
Moreover, the structure of these caves is very unstable, and in the event of a battle, there is a high risk that they will collapse immediately.
In this regard, Li Lin just asked people to seal all these caves.
The month of fighting had already exhausted the Sky Wolf Guards, and there was no need for him to press them to risk any more.
Although it is a big hidden danger if it is not solved now, why not leave it as a small copy for the Adventurer's Guild?
He only needs to issue a task in the Adventurer's Guild, and under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, and naturally there will be adventurers who are willing to go down and explore.
And Li Lin had a feeling that although there were zombies in those underground caves, they might not be in these caves if they were cunning and ferocious mutated zombies like the Sky Splitting Wolf King with a certain degree of autonomy.
They must have fled!
For them, since they know how to seek good fortune and avoid evil, they should know that hiding in the hole will only lead to a dead end, and there is no point except for creating a little trouble for Jade Dragon City.
Therefore, if they were really smart, they would choose to flee instead of hiding in the cave and letting the Jade Dragon City urn catch turtles.
The news from the Heavenly Wolf Guard in the next few days also confirmed Li Lin's thoughts, and in other directions, several survivor camps near City C were suddenly attacked by mutant zombies.
"City Lord, there are many survivor camps around City C that have been attacked by mutant zombies."
Zhang Jie reported the latest news to Li Lin, "According to statistics, there are about sixty of them, and then those mutated zombies escaped from these survivor camps. β
"Don't worry about the mutant zombies for the time being, run away with them, there will always be a time to meet again in the future."
Li Lin casually asked, "How about those survivor camps?" What is the scale? β
Zhang Jie said: "These survivor camps are large and small, and the number of survivors ranges from a few dozen to one or two thousand. β
After a pause, Zhang Jie said again: "But we heard that there is a camp composed of federal troops in F City, and they have recovered several nearby cities, and there are nearly two million survivors under their command. β
"Because of their existence, there are no large-scale survivor camps on the other side of City C, only a few small-scale survivor camps."
"Two million?"
Li Lin had no expression on his face, which was unpredictable, "Let people inform them to lay down their weapons and surrender, and join Jade Dragon City to obtain the official status of Jade Dragon City." β
"If you don't want to, wait for us to make a move, then the end is up to me."
Zhang Jie nodded, "Then I'll go myself." β
He knew what Li Lin meant, and he was like this at the Hawkeye Club at the beginning.
Lay down your arms and surrender, not only can you get a chance to live, but you can also show your strength in the follow-up Yulongshan base.
The old people in the Eagle Eye Club at the beginning, those who died are not counted, and those who are alive are all above the leadership class.
Especially at present, the four major powerholders under Li Lin in Jade Dragon City, Wei Ya, Guo Peng, Chen Jie, and he Zhang Jie, are all old men of the Eagle Eye Club at the beginning.
The one who has the strength and ambition is the commander of the Sky Wolf Guard; The strength is almost there, and it is the commander of the city guard who wants to be stable; If they don't have the strength and have poor cultivation talent, Li Lin will also transfer them to the logistics department to be used under Wei Ya.
At the beginning, they were forced to starve and choose to surrender under the pressure brought by Li Lin, but now they all have good results.
And those who disobeyed were all killed by Li Lin.
Many people are very envious and adore them, and they all say that the elite of the small Eagle Eye Club gathered and there were many talents, and with their support, Li Lin had a strong rise.
But they themselves knew that all this was Li Lin's credit and had nothing to do with them.
They just made the right choice at the most critical time and gave themselves more and better opportunities.
Life and death, wealth and future, are all in one thought.
Whenever he thinks back to what happened this year, Zhang Jie is extremely grateful to himself for making the right choice every time.
It was also because of the right choice that he had his current status.
Liu Tao, the son of the chairman of Jinhua Group, is powerful in C City, and he is the most distinguished guest of the Eagle Eye Club, even if Xu Youyou was the leader of the Eagle Eye Club, he was polite to him and did not feel embarrassed.
But because he couldn't recognize the situation clearly, he was crushed to death by Li Lin like an ant.
This is the last days.
The powerful are worthless, all ants are just ants.
β¦β¦
F City.
A large conference room filled with smoke filled with more than twenty men of various ages seated.
The young man is in his early twenties, and his face is still childish; The older ones have gray temples and wrinkled faces.
Although they are of different ages, they have the unique majesty and uprightness of a soldier, tenacity and courage, and there is no lack of iron-clad spirit.
"Regarding the sudden appearance of Jade Dragon City, we have gathered some simple information."
Sitting at the top, a middle-aged man who was over half a hundred years old, but was still in good spirits, looked at the people at the conference table, his eyes flashed like an old wolf, "Xiao Jing, you are in charge of this matter, tell me in detail what the specific situation is?" β
A young man in his thirties who was sitting in the third place under him said, "Commander Li, this Jade Dragon City is not simple. β
Li Quan looked at the man, "Why is it not a simple method?" β
"Everyone has seen the situation in City C, and the density of zombies inside can be said to make people's scalps tingle."
Xiao Jing said: "It's okay to say that ordinary zombies, but the number of mutated zombies in it is also a very terrifying number." β
"And we currently have two main methods to deal with mutant zombies, trap explosives and special large-caliber sniper rifles."
"Traps and explosives are extremely damaging to mutant zombies, but as mutant zombies get stronger and stronger, they are less and less likely to be fooled."
"There are also large-caliber sniper rifles, and now they are more and more aware of danger, and our snipers are just aiming, and they are aware of it and quickly flee from the counterattack."
"Especially the day before yesterday, more than twenty mutated zombies broke through above our defensive line, and we couldn't organize an effective defense at all, so we could only let them kill and escape."
"But in the face of this situation, the so-called Jade Dragon City is a C city that can directly wipe out tens of millions of zombies."
"It all proves that they are much better than us."
"But the most important thing is, where are they better than us, have they mastered new technology, or have they mastered some power that we don't know about?"
After a pause, Xiao Jing continued: "So, everyone here, we should think about it, what should we do next? How to face this menacing neighbor? β
"When the end times came, the heavens and the earth changed greatly, and everything changed."
After Xiao Jing finished speaking, Li Quan also looked solemn, "Our federal army no longer has absolute dominance. β
The drastic changes that had taken place in City C had made them feel uneasy, and more than two dozen powerful mutant zombies had forced their way through their defensive positions, causing them heavy losses.
In the face of this sudden change, they naturally sent people to investigate.
It's just that the result they got surprised them, and City C was reoccupied by a human force called Jade Dragon City.
Those mutated zombies passed in front of their position, fleeing for their lives.
When they heard the news, they were excited, shocked, and of course, worried.
The federal army was greatly affected at the beginning of the apocalypse, and only a few thousand scattered troops of more than 100,000 troops stationed in City F survived.
Relying on the high quality and discipline of the federal army, although there were only a few thousand scattered troops, they still held out.
The camp of the federal army was already in the wild, with a large number of walls and defensive structures, which greatly mitigated the first wave of zombie impact.
As long as the first wave of impact is blocked and they are relieved, they can rely on the familiar positional defense, and use the weapons in their hands to eat away at the zombies in the barracks little by little.
They have a large reserve of weapons and food in the barracks, and they have an absolute advantage in fighting a protracted war.
But the heavy rain that fell in the last month dealt a devastating blow to the original military warehouse, and only a few warehouses built on the high ground were preserved.
By the time the more than 100,000 zombies in the military camp were cleaned up, more than a month had passed, and at this time, they began to recover the towns around the military camp step by step.
F City has a population of more than 9 million, and there are naturally many zombies, but there are not as many as C City.
They still rely on positional warfare, sparrow warfare, to disperse the zombies and destroy them one by one.
It only took four months for them to recover the entire territory of F City.
And they also recruit recruits from the survivors to train and set out to reclaim other cities.
It's just that in the face of the increasingly powerful mutant zombies, they have no good way but to use trap explosives and special large-caliber sniper rifles.
Now, more than a year later, the threat of explosive traps to mutant zombies is getting smaller and smaller.
Until now, their base has also been bottlenecked, and few new towns have been recovered.
For City C, where the mutant zombie dragon is entrenched, they don't dare to touch it, for fear of dragging this emerging base to death.
Now they suddenly found that City C, which they couldn't avoid, had been recovered, and the mutated zombies inside didn't even dare to fight each other, but chose to abandon the city and escape.
Who is this Jade Dragon City, and what kind of powerful means does it have?
And the most important thing is that they can deal with the tens of millions of zombies in City C, so I'm afraid it's easy to deal with them.
They know about Jade Dragon City, and I'm afraid Jade Dragon City also knows about their F base.
What is their attitude towards Base F?
These are all issues that need to be considered by them.
Wang Chenghao's face was serious, "Commander Li, I suggest that we take the initiative to send people to take the initiative to contact, no matter what the other party thinks, at least we can take the initiative." β
"Initiative?"
Li Quan shook his head, "We don't have the initiative in the face of the zombies in City C, and I'm afraid we won't have the initiative in the face of this Jade Dragon City." β
"Commander Li, how do you know if you don't try?"
Wang Chenghao continued: "No matter what the other party is, as long as it is still human, we are not without the opportunity to let go of Yibo, and it is a big deal to fight to the death." β
Knowing what the other party meant, a gleam flashed in Li Quan's eyes, "Then try their attitude first." β
The end times came, the mountains and rivers were broken, the federal power ended, the dragons and snakes rose, and some ambitious people all popped up.
Those survivor camps of dozens or hundreds of people nearby are like this, they would rather be the head of a chicken than a phoenix.
When the end of the world comes, everyone wants to get ahead, be the king and hegemon, and be prosperous.
It's just that he couldn't look down on those small forces before, and they can still play a certain warning role when placed around, and there is a buffer against the dangers outside.
But now facing the behemoth of Jade Dragon City, his heart couldn't help but be a little confused.
β¦β¦
F Base Front.
"Who are you?"
Looking at a small team, more than a dozen people came from the direction of City C, the soldiers in charge of the guard patrol were holding rifles in front of them, and in some hidden places, there were dozens of weapons facing them.
Zhang Jie said loudly: "We are from Jade Dragon City, you go and inform the person in charge of the base, and we will come to talk to him." β
"Jade Dragon City?"
Hearing Zhang Jie report to his home, the soldier's face who jumped out to warn couldn't help but change, and then shouted loudly: "You wait, let's go and notify the lieutenant colonel to come over." β
Zhang Jie didn't speak, just turned around to look at Li Lin, and saw that he didn't say anything, so he didn't say anything more.
For the large-scale survivor camp, Li Lin has always advocated saluting before soldiers, and the same is true for the F base, which has two million people.
And he was also worried that Zhang Jie's strength would not be able to control the field and weaken the momentum of Jade Dragon City.
If you really beat the small one and then come to the old one, it will be a bit embarrassing.
Instead of this, it is better for him to go directly and solve all the problems at once.
Killing must be killed, but how much to kill, who to kill, these all need to have a degree, or no degree.
The federal army, the power and glory above the temple, they will not give up their position easily.
Only he can call the shots in the appropriate quid pro quo.
In just three minutes, a middle-aged man about thirty years old ran from behind, "You are from Jade Dragon City?" β
Zhang Jie knew that Li Lin didn't want to speak, so he took the initiative to stand up and say, "I'm Zhang Jie, and I hold the position of the left commander of the Heavenly Wolf Guard in Jade Dragon City. β
"Sky Wolf Guard?"
Wu Jun looked at Zhang Jie, his skin was dark, but he was very energetic, and his eyes were bright, "My name is Wu Jun, and I am the lieutenant colonel in charge of this defensive position, you are here?" β
They knew very little information about Jade Dragon City, and they didn't know what position the Heavenly Wolf Guard Zuo Shuai was.
"Maybe you don't know what the Wolf Guard Zuo Shuai means."
Zhang Jie introduced himself again, "At present, we have more than 300,000 troops in Jade Dragon City, and I am in charge of one-third!" β
It's not that he deliberately pretended to be forced, but he didn't want to waste time.
One-third of the army of Jade Dragon City seems to be very powerful, but there is the Lord of Jade Dragon City standing next to him, and he is just an errand runner today.
"Mastering a third of the army?"
Wu Jun swallowed his saliva quietly and hurriedly said, "I'll contact the headquarters of Base F." β
He now knew the gold content of the Celestial Wolf Guard, and it was not comparable to him, a lieutenant colonel who was ranked 100 miles away in Base F.
As the person in charge of the front-line defensive position, he naturally would not let Li Lin and others wait here, and politely invited Li Lin and others to the front-line headquarters.
Wu Jun wanted to inquire about some useful news, "Zhang Zuoshuai, how much time did it take you to recover City C?" β
"A month."
Zhang Jie said: "If it weren't for the fact that the place couldn't be opened, it would be faster." β
Wu Jun asked again: "What about your casualties?" β
Zhang Jie said: "Two hundred and thirty-seven people were killed in the battle. β
Wu Jun was even more surprised, "So little? β
"We are not afraid of corpse poison, and the casualties are naturally small."
Zhang Jie said casually: "For you, you have to fight carefully, and it is easy for us." β
Indeed, as he said, the casualties of this battle were insignificant compared to the results achieved.
There are city lord guards who are responsible for dealing with powerful mutant zombies, and ordinary wolf guards only need to clean up some ordinary zombies.
If it's just an ordinary zombie, the Sky Wolf Guard has an absolute advantage by using obstacles.
And because they are not afraid of corpse poison, they can fight boldly with confidence.
Invite the people from Jade Dragon City to the office, and Wu Jun hurriedly reported the situation to the people above by phone.
Five minutes later, Wu Jun appeared in front of Li Lin and the others again, "Commander Li knows that you are coming, please go to Base F for an interview." β
Sitting in the car to Base F, Li Lin watched the scenery outside flash quickly.
Since ancient times, people have taken food as the sky, and when the end of the world comes, food is the most rigid thing.
The F base is not badly governed, with various agricultural planning and grain planting.
It's just that compared to the more reasonable village structure of Jade Dragon City, the F base is a little chaotic.
He could see that most of the survivors of Base F were all vegetable-looking, their clothes were in tatters, and there was no hope for the future in their eyes, all of them were like walking dead.
It seems that the happiness index of the survivors at Base F is not high, and the survivors inside do not see hope for the future in the Federal Army.
It is also true that those in power only treat the people as shepherds, and do not really love the people as children.
This is true of Li Lin, and the same is true of the federal army.
It's just that Li Lin has absolute authority and pays attention to absolute fairness.
But the inherent interpersonal relationships of the federal army have not been completely torn apart, everything is more about a balance, layer by layer, all kinds of people are sophisticated, and tricky calculations.
It was also later that the F base had internal strife, breaking the inherent power structure, and finally the new class ruled the F base, leading the F base to a new ending.
At the time of Li Lin's rebirth, Base F still existed, and it was the largest survivor city near City C.
It's just that the situation is already precarious, and it is estimated that it will not last long.
