The army was defeated like a mountain. When the level 2 mutant rats started to retreat, they were destined to fail. Zhou Zhiguo stopped his men who wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue them:
"Stop chasing them. There are too many of them. If they jump over the wall in a hurry, it will be troublesome. Go back to the base first."
A few people cleaned the battlefield and absorbed some crystal stones to restore their injuries. This was also discovered by the Evolvers when they strengthened. Crystal stones can not only strengthen the physique, but also effectively treat injuries. As long as they are not irreversible fatal injuries, they can be recovered. .
This battle was a fruitful one. Not only was a truck full of food, but also a lot of crystal stones were obtained, which could strengthen the strength of the evolvers in the camp before the zombie wave arrived.
Yi Chen lamented that it was a pity that Professor Lin was not here. If he were here, it would be much easier to create a group of transformers to defend against this wave of impact!
Yi Chen was also a little exhausted. Sitting in the car, Zhou Zhiguo looked a little ashamed:
"If it wasn't you this time, we might actually tell you here. Here are 10 level 2 crystals and 100 level 1 crystals. You can take them as a favor from us. Don't refuse!"
Looking at Zhou Zhiguo's face, he said that if you don't take it, you won't treat him as a friend. Yi Chen was also a little helpless. He put the crystal into his backpack without saying anything.
To make such a generous person feel embarrassed, Yi Chen's role this time is self-evident.
Although a crystal can restore his physical strength and it only takes ten minutes for him to run back to the camp from here, Yi Chen still chooses to go back with everyone in the car.
Taking the opportunity to rest, Yi Chen opened the storage space of the system. There are currently 21 level 2 crystals and 400 level 1 crystals. Since level 2 crystals are more difficult to obtain and the failure rate is factored in, he has not strengthened them.
However, from these two battles against zombies and mutated beasts, he discovered that the number of level 2 zombies had obviously begun to increase.
Although this can obtain more level 2 crystals, it also indicates a serious problem. The zombies are accelerating their evolution!
Based on this speed, it can be predicted that level 3 zombies will appear in a month or less.
He must also speed up the acquisition of points and crystals, and while recruiting heroes, he must also ensure that there are resources to strengthen them.
Zombie evolution is also based on some factors, one of the most important of which is humans. Zombies obtain energy from humans to upgrade.
When he returned to Ping'an Camp, it was still dark. Yi Chen saw that the gate was brightly lit. The original container wall had been damaged by something and collapsed in five or six sections.
He and Zhou Zhiguo hurriedly went down to inquire, and saw the chief leading the guards in the camp to repair the wall and reload the fallen containers.
Yi Chen told the reason without waiting to ask the chief:
"It was Li Hao. He suddenly rushed over in an armored vehicle at midnight, knocked over the container and escaped."
I was careless. At that time, I just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and let Jiang Yu go out for treatment. In order not to conflict with the black brick people, I didn't care about Li Hao. Now I didn't expect that it would become a disaster!
"Brother Zhou! Is there a master who knows how to weld here? I wonder if welding would make it stronger?"
Why didn't Zhou Zhiguo think of this before his eyes lit up? Maybe it was because they considered this container wall only to defend against zombies. With the attack intensity of zombies, the defense of these containers was enough.
However, this is only limited to a small scale, and it is still an attack by level 1 zombies. If it is large-scale and contains many level 2 zombies, then these containers will be overwhelmed.
He had personally seen level 2 zombies scratching holes in the iron sheets. There were so many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the camp. It would be a nightmare if a hole was scratched!
If you want to defend against a zombie attack by thousands of zombies, just relying on containers is completely insufficient. You must widen the strategic depth.
Excavator operations begin when the tanker trucks arrive, and there are still drivers in the camp who know how to operate such machines.
According to Yi Chen's suggestion, they needed to dig two trenches ten meters apart. Due to time constraints, each trench could only reach the standard of two meters wide.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhiguo and his people had dug out two prototypes before. Now they only need to deepen and broaden them, otherwise it would be too late.
With the cooperation of carpenters and mechanics, dozens of one-meter-high guardrails were built and neatly placed in front of the containers.
Because time was short and there was such a big movement, people in the camp seemed to have noticed something, so Zhou Zhiguo chose to make public the news that the zombie wave was about to attack.
As expected, there was no confusion among the survivors in the camp. They just talked for a while and then began to request assignments.
The reason is simple. They have considered the Peace Camp their home, and they do not want to lose their home again.
This time, almost everyone in the camp went into battle. Yi Chen led them to arrange barbed wire and ground spikes in the trench. These were made by carpenters and mechanics overnight.
During this period, the chief took the guards to be on guard, because some wandering zombies had already begun to gather towards the camp.
Almost all of the working people are ordinary humans. If they are bitten or scratched, it will be irreversible.
After laying out the trench, Yi Chen also asked them to wrap barbed wire around the guardrail of the horse. These barbed wires are all barbed, and it is usually difficult to get rid of them once they are hooked.
Especially for creatures with low IQs such as zombies, even if they cannot be trapped for a long time, they can effectively slow down their attack speed and efficiency, relieving the pressure on the defending guards!
Everything was ready, and everyone stood in their respective positions, quietly waiting for the arrival of the zombie wave.
The chief led this group of people to guard behind the first trench. These survivors were all selected from the camp. After a night of assault training, they were now barely able to go into battle.
Maybe they still need to adapt, they need training, and they need better equipment to protect themselves and reduce casualties during battle.
But Yi Chen can't give these, he has no time and no resources, because this is the end of the world, survival of the fittest, you must learn to adapt!
Similarly, Zhou Zhiguo led people to provide support in the open space behind the second trench. If an emergency occurred, he could lead people to rescue or retreat to the camp at any time!
This was his own request. Zhou Zhiguo voluntarily gave up the command of this battle because he found that Yi Chen was more suitable than him.
He doesn't love power even when it's a matter of life and death. This is why Zhou Zhiguo can become the leader of the camp. Who wouldn't want to obey a leader who is very popular and popular?
"Are the zombies really coming?"
"Of course, Brother Chen brought this news. The leader believes in him, and we believe in the leader!"
"Can we hold on?"
"Don't worry, the leader will fight off those zombies just like the previous times!"
Some people in the crowd behind started talking, and the anxiety was still uncontrollable. As long as there was no panic, everything would be fine.
Yi Chen stood on the observation tower of the container at the door. The view here was the best and he could grasp the trends on the battlefield at any time.
At this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the street corner, followed by a second and third figure. Yi Chen took out his walkie-talkie:
"coming!"
The darkness stretched on, like a long wriggling snake from beginning to end. The zombies did not advance step by step, but swarmed in as soon as they came up, and the streets were instantly filled with corpses.
As time goes by, the zombies begin to evolve, and the zombies that did not grow crystals at the beginning also slowly begin to grow crystals, which also means that the number of level 2 zombie drugs has begun to increase!
You can see the speed of zombie evolution from the level 1 zombies. The rotten parts of the body have basically faded away, leaving a strong body, and the stiff movements have obviously become much faster.
This evolution is not a good thing for humans, and it only takes a few minutes to reach the first trench!
"Ah!~"
The howling of the zombies was like a bee buzzing across the city, and the waves were as powerful as a rainbow, as if they were going to submerge the entire street.
Their heart-rending roars made their eardrums hurt. Looking at this horrifying scene, some people were trembling with fear, and some women even sat directly on the ground.
Yi Chen's eyes were deep, this was the tide of corpses, overwhelming and endless, the living dead, and this was only a small part of what was left in the city.
It is conceivable that the military is facing such a large base. It is not easy to retreat alive in the face of such a huge tide of corpses!
At this time, the zombies in the front row started to speed up desperately after seeing the humans!
"Dong dong dong! Plop! Tear!"
In an instant, the zombies fell into the trench in the first row, and the sharp thorns instantly pierced their dead bodies, and some were killed on the spot.
Those who survived were caught in the barbed wire, and their skin, flesh, and clothes were instantly torn when they tried to stand up.
All the people in the peace camp, including Zhou Zhiguo, were amazed by the effect of the trench!
As more and more zombies gathered in the trench, the chief led the survivors in the front row to start finishing up the zombies in the trench.
I saw that each of the survivors had a spear-like weapon in their hands. This was also made according to Yi Chen's request. Its purpose was to easily hit the vital points of zombies from a long distance.
The chief, on the other hand, swung his tomahawk and slashed at them. This wave of visual inspection killed at least 2,000 zombies.
Looking at the trench that was about to be filled with corpses, Yi Chen said on the intercom:
"The first row of defensive teams retreated and merged into the second row"
Immediately, the chief and the survivors began to retreat. Without any hesitation, they dropped their spears. Zhou Zhiguo also lowered the suspension bridge.
This was also carefully designed by Yi Chen, in order to cater to the perfect retreat of the first set of strategies, and also to facilitate the entry and exit of vehicles in the camp later.
As the suspension bridge was raised, Zhou Zhiguo saw that the zombies had successfully filled the first trench and rushed towards the second trench one after another.
There was a safety zone of about 10 meters between the two trenches, and Yi Chen also set up two rows of resisting horses there.
These level 1 zombies directly hit the horse without looking back, and the zombies behind them swarmed in. This crowded scene was really spectacular!
"Almost! Power up!"
Yi Chen gave orders on the walkie-talkie, while Qian Bing, who was waiting, closed the switch. The next moment, the sound of electricity continued to sizzle, and a raging flame suddenly ignited in the first trench.
