In the TV station, Tang Zheng calculated the speed of the corpses.
The current zombie horde is no longer as shambling as it once was. Even ordinary zombies can walk at the same speed as normal people.
Thirty kilometers, it will take no more than four hours to reach Hezhou.
But the first ones to arrive should be the vanguard of the zombies. After all, the tens of millions of corpses are too large. They are now moving forward like a thread, spreading for hundreds of kilometers.
At the beginning, the intensity of the attack may not be very strong, but it will become stronger and stronger later on, until it is completely irresistible.
More importantly, there is no city wall in Hezhou, so the resistance will not last long. When the zombies accumulate to a certain number, the army will collapse and flee in all directions.
The problem is, they have nowhere to escape.
In the apocalypse, outside the survivor base, there is wilderness everywhere, and people can no longer outrun the zombies.
Zombies are tireless things. How far can a person run with his own legs?
Even though Liu Yibang was a bit unreasonable, Tang Zheng couldn't just ignore this matter.
He knew that there was not much time left for Hezhou to prepare, maybe three hours, four hours, or at most until tomorrow. If effective preparations could not be made, then everything would be too late.
Once Hezhou is finished, the aftermath of this incident will spread to the surrounding areas, and may even affect Chasing Light City.
Tang Zheng immediately returned to the official residence and notified his subordinates to gather at the official residence on the way.
After returning, his subordinates were basically all present, and Tang Zheng held a meeting to study countermeasures for this matter.
As for Hezhou, Tang Zheng believed that it would not be long before Liu Yibang could not ignore it.
Li Wuyou did not eat the New Year's Eve dinner carefully prepared by Liu Yibang.
She heard Tang Zheng say that a group of tens of millions of corpses were approaching Hezhou, how could she still eat.
So when the live broadcast ended, Li Wuyou immediately asked Liu Yibang to clarify this matter carefully and put all other matters later.
Liu Yibang was also thinking, since Tang Zheng was so blatant and braved the world's disapproval to invade the princess's live TV broadcast, it was very likely that this matter was true.
So he was impatient and just tried to stay calm.
Hearing Li Wuyou's strict order at this moment, he nodded and immediately went down to investigate the situation.
But it has to be said that the investigation methods in the apocalypse are indeed somewhat lacking.
It is difficult for radar to detect the movements of individuals. Although the zombie swarm is large, it is still composed of individual individuals. The air defense radar here in Liu Yibang cannot detect it at all.
The usual helicopter reconnaissance is now unable to function due to the presence of mutated birds.
Several helicopters were sent out in succession, but they were all destroyed by mutant birds, which made Liu Yibang realize that something was wrong.
The helicopters he sent out from different directions encountered a flock of birds. So how big was this flock of birds?
Anyway, there must be more than what Zhang Zhixin said. The total number of corpses and corpses is only 300,000.
Thinking of Tang Zheng's words again, Liu Yibang became a little scared.
If there were really tens of millions of corpses, Hezhou might be doomed.
He had just contacted Zhang Zhixin, who had already set off with an armored unit to conduct reconnaissance.
Armored vehicles and tanks are not afraid of harassment attacks by mutant birds and should be able to perform reconnaissance tasks.
Liu Yibang was like an ant on a hot pot, waiting anxiously.
Fortunately, the speed of the convoy was still very fast. About half an hour later, Liu Yibang got the news.
On the intercom, Zhang Zhixin's voice was completely hoarse.
"Commander, it's over. It's over."
Liu Yibang felt a surge of fire coming to his head, and asked calmly: "Speak clearly."
"Too many! There are too many zombies to count. There are mutated birds in the sky, and zombies are all on the ground. One of my armored squads was swallowed up in an instant. Only I was at the back, and I managed to escape even after turning around."
Liu Yibang was stunned: "What did you say? The armored troops were swallowed up? Can those zombies still pose a threat to the tanks?"
"I didn't think so, but there were so many gorilla-like zombies in there that even heavy machine guns couldn't penetrate, and the tank's artillery couldn't lock on to it. They overturned the tank directly, and there was no chance to fire at all. , those armored vehicles are even worse. There is a kind of gecko-like zombie that is more than five meters long. It jumps on and breaks the bulletproof glass. All the brothers inside are taken out and torn to pieces..."
Bang!
The walkie-talkie in Liu Yibang's hand fell directly to the ground.
At this moment, he felt that the sky had fallen.
I didn't expect that what Tang Zheng said was true.
There is actually a corpse king who can lead a group of tens of millions of corpses. In this case, will humans still have a way to survive?
Although the Fifth Army has killed tens of millions of zombies in total, there is no unified command for those zombies. They are attracted and killed little by little, just like target practice, which is not difficult for regular troops.
And with tens of millions of zombies under unified command, Liu Yibang simply couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be.
At this moment, he was already a little panicked. It wasn't until Li Wuyou next to him kept asking questions that he calmed down.
"Ah!"
"Ah! Zhang Zhixin, are you still listening?"
He picked up the walkie-talkie again. Fortunately, this walkie-talkie was not broken.
"Commander, I have already ran back to the city, what should we do?"
"Organize troops and immediately organize defenses on the southwest river bank. Don't let the corpses rush into the river mouth area!"
"I understand, I will lead the team there now."
After the call ended, the entire Hezhou City fell into panic.
All the troops swarmed out, boarded the vehicles nervously, and began to move southwest, preparing to build a defense line along the river to resist the incoming corpses.
It was impossible to hide such a big movement, and with what Tang Zheng said in the TV speech, no one knew that the corpses were really coming.
The panicked people couldn't stay at home.
This Hezhou City, which has no city walls and extends in all directions, looks like it cannot be defended.
Rather than waiting for death here, it is better to run away now and go back to Jinghe County. At least the fifteen-meter city wall there can still bring a sense of security to everyone.
However, Jinghe County is nearly 600 kilometers away from Hezhou, and there is no way to go back even if your feet are exhausted.
Only those who have their own cars can drive back.
Some people panicked and drove out of the Hekou area towards the Jinghe River.
But the tragedy happened like this.
Those ubiquitous mutated birds have enveloped the sky above the city.
The fast-moving vehicle became the target of the mutant bird attack.
Their claws cannot break through armored vehicles, but they have no problem breaking through private cars.
The sunroof was easily shattered, the car glass was easily shattered, and the mutated bird even got into the car and pecked out the brains of people with a few bites of its hard beak.
One after another, the cars did not run out of the city, but crashed into somewhere and stalled.
And those who ran out of their homes and tried to escape were repeatedly attacked by mutant birds.
People running on the street would fall to the ground, and some even had their heads snatched away.
They want to seek protection, but no one will protect them now. The regular army has built a defense line, and Hezhou City is already in a state of control.
It's still before twelve o'clock in the morning, and many people haven't waited for the new year after all.
From inside the TV station building, Liu Yibang looked at the chaos below, his lips blistered in anxiety.
He looked at Li Wuyou who was sitting on the side and said anxiously: "Your Highness, before the zombies enter the city, you should leave immediately. I will ask the air defense force to protect you. The other helicopters will be responsible for covering and ensure that no mutations occur." If the bird approaches, your plane will take off and return to Yuanjing. I guarantee you will go back safely. You can't stay here any longer."
Unexpectedly, Li Wuyou's face was calm. She glanced at Liu Yibang and shook her head slightly: "I won't leave."
"Ah! Why?" Liu Yibang looked around anxiously: "Why don't you leave? You are the only bloodline of the imperial family, so there must be no problems!"
Li Wuyou's face became calmer and calmer: "I won't leave. I was speaking on TV just now, building a new home with everyone. Now there are 3.5 million people gathered here in Hezhou, and they are all subjects of the empire. I am in danger, and if I turn around and run away alone at this time, then I am not worthy to continue to be in charge of the empire, or even to be a human being."
As she said that, she glanced at Liu Yibang with her clear eyes: "I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere. If you want me to leave, unless you can defeat this group of corpses or allow all the people to leave, I would rather Forget it if you die, so that when you meet my father and mother, you can tell them loudly that their daughter has not embarrassed them."
After speaking, Li Wuyou even told the TV station here to resume live broadcasts.
From now on, she is not going anywhere, just in the TV screen.
The director of the TV station was a little embarrassed, but seeing that Liu Yibang didn't say anything, he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to resume the live broadcast.
In the picture, Li Wuyou straightened his messy hair and did not say anything. Instead, he asked someone to bring some pen and ink and began to sign some orders.
Or it can be said to be the last words.
No one knew what she was writing, but they saw her writing constantly, her eyebrows lowered, her angelic face looking extremely dignified at the moment, with a kind of divine beauty.
Liu Yibang stood below and watched for a while, then finally sighed and turned around to leave.
He knew that no one could persuade Her Royal Highness at this moment, unless those two conditions were met.
Either defeat the zombie horde or let the people escape.
But now he really has no choice.
It took more than three hundred people five days to get from Jinghe to Hezhou, and it would take at least five days to go back.
In five days, more than three million people will turn into more than three million skeletons.
There is no way to escape, so there is only one way.
Fight with zombies!
Liu Yibang gritted his teeth, got in the car and went straight to the defense line.
At this moment, he felt a little regretful. Tang Zheng came to report the situation, so he must have some ideas.
But Tang Zheng was scolded by him and left, and the signal was cut off. He would never be able to lower his face and go to find Tang Zheng now.
And at this moment, facing the hordes of corpses arriving like a natural disaster, he couldn't believe that Tang Zheng could turn the tide.
Therefore, Liu Yibang gave up the idea of asking for help from Tang Zheng at this moment. He could only hope that his troops could resist, and that this group of corpses was not as strong as Tang Zheng said.
