The convoy did not carry many thermobaric bombs and did not dare to use them arbitrarily. After the surrounding mutant beasts lost the suppression of the thermobaric bombs, they attacked again. More and more gathered on the periphery, and the convoy could no longer even retreat. If this continues, the ammunition will always run out and the artillery will be overheated and damaged. At that time, except for a few people, everyone else may be buried here.
In front of Chu Xiang and the others, a pile of mutated beast corpses as tall as one person had been piled up. The beasts were still attacking the convoy's defense line, fearless and fearless.
"Artillery support will arrive in ten seconds, everyone retreats to the vehicle." Staring at the time on his watch, Song Ming ordered.
After receiving the order, the soldiers on the roof returned to the tank one after another. Without the suppression of the firepower on the roof, the attacking mutant beasts became more ferocious.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
"Six, five, four, retreat."
Song Ming turned over and rushed into the chariot. At the same time, Zhang Zhen, Bian Chu Xiang and others also retreated into the chariot. Everyone covered their ears tightly and opened their mouths at the same time, waiting for the arrival of artillery support.
As soon as everyone retreated into the car, there was no more fire suppression, and mutant beasts surged in from all directions. The zombie army that was blasted into the cliff also got a chance to breathe and regrouped to advance.
Just when the mutant beasts all over the mountains and plains were swamping the convoy, suddenly artillery shells rained down from the sky, and the rumbling explosions shook the earth, plowing the entire valley and the surrounding hills, and then the sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.
The earth shook and the mountains shook, smoke covered the sky and the sun, and flames were blazing. The four chariots were rocking like small boats in the sea in the horrific explosion, and all the mutant beasts affected were torn into pieces. When the plowing continued, the last batch of artillery shells exploded three hundred meters in the air, burning the entire sky into blood red. They turned out to be air-burst thermobaric bombs.
This was a true saturation coverage attack. Except for the area of 100 meters around the four tanks, everything in the entire valley was leveled. Fortunately, the positioning of the artillery fire was very accurate, and none of them fell within a hundred meters of the convoy. Even so, everyone in the tank was frightened.
"All units report their results." Song Ming's voice rang out from the billowing smoke.
"Ninety-five percent of the mutant beast herd has been eliminated."
"The military formation is destroyed."
"The zombies are intact and approaching."
Hearing that the zombies were approaching, Zhang Zhen, Bian Chuxiang and others immediately rushed out of the chariot and prepared to fight. With the zombie's combat power, if it gets close to it, it can destroy a tank with just one slap.
In the thick smoke and dust, the ground was covered with infrared remnants from the bombing. The main gun of the tank could not lock the position of the zombie generals at all, and the remote-controlled machine gun could not keep up with the speed of the zombies. When the seven people got out of the car, the zombies had already passed by. A few hundred meters away, approaching tank No. 34 on the left.
"Do it." Zhang Zhen shouted angrily and punched him, and Chen Ying followed suit.
Unexpectedly, everyone was unscathed. When they saw Zhang Zhen and the two of them approaching, the zombie drew out his long sword, and the sword light poured down, and the two people hurriedly avoided it.
The war resumed, Zhang Zhenbian and Chen Yingyi fought against zombies, Qin San and Chu Xiang each protected a tank to prevent zombies from jumping over the wall. After a big battle, Zhang Zhenbian and Chen Ying defeated the zombies again. Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi stepped forward to help, and the four of them held the zombies tightly. The zombie kept struggling, roaring, and dust was flying. It was unable to escape the restraints of the four people's internal energy. It was pushed into the ground for several feet by the four people. Qin Santong seized the opportunity and quickly stepped forward, made a handprint, pressed it on the zombie's forehead, and returned it. The zombies were fed some unknown elixirs.
After Qin Santong fiddled with it, the zombie stopped struggling. The red light in his eyes dissipated and he closed his eyes.
"Phew! This guy is really resistant to being beaten!" Zhang Zhen shouted, and the two of them almost had their arms twisted by the huge force of the zombie's struggle. He turned to Qin Santong and said: "This guy doesn't have corpse poison like on TV, right? "
Qin Santong smiled and said: "TV is TV, but if you are bitten by it, you will not become a zombie, but your throat will be sealed with blood."
"No way, it's more poisonous than on TV!" Zhang Zhen jumped up in fright and quickly looked at his hands.
"Don't worry, his skin is fine. It's not easy for toxins to escape. The toxins in his body have solidified and are made of copper skin and iron bones. It is basically impossible for them to leak out." Qin Santong said.
After restraining the zombies, several people used various equipment that had been prepared to tie the zombies like rice dumplings. The soldiers unloaded a huge cylinder from the car, and Qin Santong carefully placed the zombies in the cylinder and sealed it.
After dealing with the zombies and looking at the messy valley, Qin Santong said: "Song Ming, you hand over the equipment to the three of them, and you are here to prepare for the response."
"Yes." Song Ming said.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Chen, Chu Xiang, Shi Wuzheng, Gongsun Qi, let's go into the cave and explore." Qin San said.
A few soldiers took out a bunch of things from the car, which were some lighting and monitoring equipment. Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng were both top students. After a brief explanation by the soldier in charge, the two knew how to use these things.
What made Chu Xiang embarrassed was that Nurse Xiaoting was responsible for handing over some medical matters to him. Chu Xiang didn't dare to look at the woman in front of him, his eyes were just fixed on the ground, and he kept umming and accepting each item stiffly. Planting things without daring to touch her hands. The cold voice sounded like a reminder, with a stubbornness of trying his best, which made Chu Xiang extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, it was just the use of two antidotes, and the handover was quickly completed.
After an unknown amount of time, the handover between the two was completed. Chu Xiang took the equipment to the three of them, and the six of them carefully headed towards the cave. The valley that had been bombarded by artillery fire was in a mess. The corpses of mutated beasts were piled up in several layers. Every time they stepped on the bones, the entire valley turned red and the stench filled the sky.
The three of them had just walked away, not wanting to show their weak side in front of Chu Xiang. Nurse Xiaoting, who was holding back her nausea, finally couldn't help but started to vomit. Chu Xiang couldn't help but sigh, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"Know?" Gongsun Qi asked after catching Chu Xiang's sigh.
Chu Xiang nodded and shook his head.
"Then why are you sighing?" Gongsun Qi continued to ask with a strange expression.
"This world is not suitable for women." Chu Xiang said.
"When did our Mr. Chu Da become so compassionate?" Gongsun Qi said with a smile.
"Why, you won't give it?" Chu Xiang choked.
"I don't dare." Gongsun Qi laughed.
Approaching the zombie formation on the hillside, the two of them did not dare to talk distractedly and looked around intently.
Qin Santong carefully inspected the broken puppet soldiers. He frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he said to Chen Ying: "Brother Chen, please go in and explore again. Safety is the first priority."
The puppet army formation was almost completely destroyed. Except for a few puppet soldiers who were intact, the others were blown to pieces and changed beyond recognition.
"Okay." Chen Ying nodded and entered the cave again.
After Chen Ying entered the cave, after a while, cold air surged out of the cave, and everyone hurriedly avoided it.
"There shouldn't be anything else inside, right?" Zhang Zhen said.
"Who knows, it's better to be careful." Qin San said.
"One of these things is enough to defy the heavens, but if there are a group of them, it will be even worse." Zhang Zhen said, before he finished speaking, there was a sudden rumble in the cave, like wind and thunder.
"Oh no, there really are more." Zhang Zhen's expression changed, he concentrated his energy and prepared to fight.
Qin Santong waved his hand, and Chu Xiang and the three people quickly retreated.
After a while, Chen Ying rushed out of the cave with a gray face.
Everyone concentrated on preparing for battle, but nothing happened.
After a while, Qin Santong asked: "What's going on inside?"
"There is one more." Chen Ying said solemnly.
"Sure enough, this is a bit troublesome." Qin Santong said, stroking his long beard.
"Trouble me, let me go in and crush it." Zhang Zhen shouted.
"That's all it can do." Qin Santong nodded.
"Is this really what you want?" Unexpectedly, Qin Santong said this. Zhang Zhen stared at Qin Santong. Damn this old boy, he is cheating me. He thought to himself that he must not show his guilty conscience, otherwise he would be betrayed by several juniors. Laughing to death.
"What can you do? This is obviously a layout with one outside and one inside. This guy will definitely not come out, so you have to go in and beat it." Qin Santong said helplessly.
"Okay, let's see if I don't beat it half to death." Zhang Zhen said bitterly and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"Senior, wait a minute. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. Don't be impulsive." Chu Xiang spoke up at the right time to relieve Zhang Zhenbian.
Zhang Zhen stepped down and nodded: "That's right. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark. It's not good to act randomly. We need to make a proper plan to avoid ruining the big thing."
Qin Santong smiled, turned to Chu Xiang and asked, "What do you think?"
Chu Xiang said without hesitation: "Be careful at every step. If it doesn't come out, we'll force it in and turn the enemy around."
"Okay." Qin Santong nodded.
Zhang Zhenbian and Chen Ying opened the way, followed closely by Qin Santong. Behind them, Chu Xiang, Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng installed various lighting and camera equipment on the cave wall, illuminating the cave.
The six people worked step by step, installing lighting and camera equipment along the way, and slowly pushed deeper into the cave. The cave is very deep and very large. After entering for more than 20 meters, the width of the cave is already more than 30 meters and the height is more than ten meters. High-power lighting equipment cannot fully illuminate the cave.
Infrared detectors, thermal energy detectors, and various other equipment of unknown purpose. Chu Xiang and the others installed all the various things they brought in throughout the cave to monitor the entire cave without blind spots.
Deep in the cave, there were bones all over the ground, and there were falling gravel everywhere. Every time he stepped on the bones, they fell on the bones. Qin Santong used a strong flashlight to shine deep into the cave. In the misty dust and mist, the end could be vaguely seen. There is a flat stone slab everywhere.
"Be careful, we're almost there." Chen Ying reminded.
Chu Xiang installed the lamps on the three of them, illuminating the depths of the cave like daylight, but there were no zombies, and neither the infrared detector nor the thermal detector found anything unusual.
Zhang Zhen moved forward cautiously, and everyone covered each other. As he approached the stone wall at the bottom of the cave, he could already see the words on the stone wall. The zombie who attacked Chen Ying still did not show up.
Ah. Suddenly there was a soft exhalation sound in the cave, and a strong wind hit Zhang Zhenbian, and then a strong wind blew on the right side of the cave wall, rolling towards Chen Ying.
Zhang Zhen turned around and punched, breaking the strong wind, and swept his whip leg towards the zombie attacking Chen Ying.
Fists and feet intertwined, and the three parties were separated at the first touch. Zhang Zhenbian and Chen Ying retreated on guard, and the zombie who appeared also took a few steps back, with his back to the stone wall, and his blood-red eyes were extremely charming under the light.
It was another tall and mighty zombie, wearing heavy armor and a long sword hanging from his waist. Although it was not as powerful as the previous one, Shen Ning's aura was even better.
"Kill." Zhang Zhen yelled, and the zombies were pushed out with one palm, and fists were exchanged. The wind was howling, the wind was strong, and rocks were falling like rain on top of the head.
With one blow, the zombie remained motionless and as steady as a mountain. Zhang Zhen was knocked back more than a meter, and his feet dragged two deep dents on the hard stone floor.
This zombie was obviously more powerful than the previous one. Zhang Zhen's energy and blood surged, and he was cautious and did not dare to take action again. The zombie did not pursue it, which was strange.
Seeing the zombie acting like this, everyone understood that it must be protecting what was behind it. The cave seemed more mysterious than expected.
I don't know what other weird things there are in this weird cave. The current situation is probably going to be a long night and many dreams. Qin Santong made a quick decision and said: "Two brothers, let's go up together."
Qin San drew his sword together, and the three top masters stepped forward together. Suddenly, strong winds surged in the cave, and the ground shook.
The zombie immediately drew his sword. The long sword in his hand was like a galaxy pouring down, and the sword energy was everywhere. Qin Santong Zhan Lu was in his hand, and he was not afraid at all. Zhang Zhenbian and Chen Ying faced the enemy empty-handed, but it was difficult to break through the sword net. The zombie intended to They held on and did not pursue. For a moment, the three of them were unable to attack.
Even though the zombie was invincible and mighty, it was still unable to defeat six hands with two fists, and it was difficult to withstand the siege of three masters. After a stalemate for several minutes, the zombie began to fall into decline and was unable to resist. The long sword was shot down, and then the three were knocked down. People swarmed up and hugged the zombie's hands and feet.
Upon seeing this, Chu Xiang and the other three hurriedly stepped forward to help. Gongsun Qi tightly hugged the zombie's legs, allowing Qin Santong to free his hands. Chu Xiang and Shi Wuzheng pressed the zombie's head and asked Qin Santong to cast a spell to immobilize the zombie.
After tinkering with the zombies and tying them up with steel cables, Qin Santong carefully checked the cave to make sure there was no other presence before returning to the stone wall and studying the words on the stone wall.
There were six small seal characters the size of a fist engraved on the door: Chu Xiang could only understand three: *天*, 九州*.
Qin Santong brushed off the dust on the stone wall, and the five of them stood behind, not daring to move rashly for fear of touching the mechanism above. After brushing away the thick dust, everyone realized that the stone wall was not a stone wall, but a stone door. There was a groove as high as one person on each side of the door.
Except for the six words on the door, there is nothing different about the entire door, and there are no buttons or the Nine Palaces Bagua deciphering diagram like in the novel.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing where to start, but Qin Santong was not impatient, patting here and there, not knowing what he was doing. After a moment, he said: "The door is too thick, so armor-piercing bullets can only blow it open, but that may destroy the inside." Everything was destroyed.”
Well, it turns out that the master has been studying for so long to determine whether he can blast open the stone gate with artillery.
Zhang Zhenbian couldn't help but laugh: "The Sa family thought the Earth Master was so amazing, but it turns out he also uses explosives."
Qin Santong didn't pay attention to Zhang Zhenbian's ridicule. He stroked his beard and said, "It's naturally best to use the simplest method. Why should we follow the designer's ideas?"
The righteous and stern statement is so high-sounding that it is impossible to argue with it.
"Then you should open the door." Zhang Zhen sneered.
"Song Ming, send another zombie over." Qin Santong ignored Zhang Zhenbian's ridicule and said to Song Ming outside through the intercom.
Qin Santong looked at the stone wall carefully and found that there was nothing special. He turned to a few people and said: "The real cause of the formation of zombies is still unknown. According to historical records, the first zombie was named Jian. Its soul and body formed into the generals, the queen, Yinggou, and Hanba respectively. The queen and Hanba were killed by the Yellow Emperor. The generals and Yinggou disappeared. When the queen died, he cursed all those who died unjustly to become zombies. , this is the kind of zombie described in later novels and movies, but I don’t know if there is such a thing. And the two we encountered, according to the classification in the novel, are probably a type of flying zombie. It is made by man."
"You don't know, so how can you subdue them?" Zhang Zhen shouted.
"I'm not sure, I'm just trying to see if it can work." Qin Santong said.
"Okay, you are playing with my feelings." Zhang Zhen said angrily.
Qin Santong was embarrassed and covered it up with a smile.
"Brother Qin, are there no drought demons here?" Chen Ying asked with a serious expression. There were already two flying corpses guarding the door. It was not surprising that there were drought demons inside.
"Who knows, if we meet, it will only be Amitabha." Qin Santong said.
Chen Ying could only smile bitterly.
Such words were shocking. Chen Ying did not continue to ask, his face was very solemn. Zhang Zhenbian was indifferent and neither of them spoke. Chu Xiang and the other three were worried, but it was difficult to ask.
"Chu Xiang, do you think there will be drought demons here?" Chu Xiang was thinking when Qin Santong suddenly asked.
Chu Xiang didn't expect Qin Santong to ask him, so he touched his nose and said shockingly: "Ninety percent."
