Rumba City.
A sharp north wind swept through the city streets.
In the north wind, there was a faint voice echoing.
That was the call of the Corpse King.
Corpse Kings can make sounds that are extremely inconsistent with their size, and the sounds are long-lasting.
The sound rang in the wind and echoed in the streets and alleys of the city.
Although the sound has become smaller and smaller, the zombies can still clearly feel it.
And every zombie that senses the sound will suddenly move.
They had been covered by the ice and snow here for a long time, just like statues standing there, but now they all came alive when they heard the sound.
Shaking off the snow on their bodies, the zombies began to move forward in large strides.
Nowadays, zombies in the apocalypse have evolved to a considerable extent. Male zombies are generally much larger, almost all of them are over 1.8 meters tall.
And there are many ones that are over two meters tall, which are already armored zombies.
The female zombies have become much stronger and move very quickly. There are no more frail women like before the apocalypse.
After becoming agile zombies, scales will even appear on their bodies, forming a natural protection.
In the sky, a large group of mutant birds flapped their wings and flew by. The mutant animals that were mortal enemies of zombies in the past have now become the same camp.
On the ground, a large number of mutated rats rushed out of the sewer manhole cover, appearing like a blowout, and followed the group of zombies, heading in the direction of the Corpse King.
About an hour later, this neighborhood became empty, and there were no longer any zombies or mutated animals.
They all gathered in a central square, which was already a sea of zombies.
The boundless sea of zombies is still moving slowly.
After all the zombies in this block are included, the zombie group will continue to move to the next block.
The group of corpses, numbering over ten million, was now orderly and moving very quickly.
They are like troops from hell, with ferocious faces but strict systems.
After reaching the next block, the corpse king's call sounded again.
The little girl let out a sharp whistle, her voice piercing the sky.
Hundreds of thousands of corpses were summoned by this voice and continued to join this sea of corpses.
Lickers jumped from the building, and gorilla zombies also appeared among the corpses.
At the core of this zombie swarm, the number of second-level zombies has exceeded a thousand!
The little girl knew how to artificially cultivate zombies. Some zombies with low combat effectiveness or disabled zombies were used by her to feed high-level zombies.
Under this constant catalysis, there were more and more high-level zombies in her corpse group.
Among them, there are already five to six hundred of the gorilla zombie variant alone.
Lickers even exceeded 800. They were mixed in the team, but it was difficult to find them.
The little girl even made a major breakthrough.
During the siege of Hezhou, she discovered that high-level zombies such as orangutan zombies and lickers were easily attacked by focused fire.
Moreover, in melee combat, the attack distance of ordinary zombies' claws is too short. These are the disadvantages of zombies.
So this time, she made a major breakthrough, which was to let the zombies take up arms.
This attempt was a bit difficult at first, because she discovered that zombies do not know how to use weapons, especially ordinary zombies. Even if they are given weapons, they will throw them away without knowing it.
Even for mutated zombies, it is not easy to use weapons. After mutation, their wisdom has not evolved much and they are still ignorant. They don't know where to go after holding the weapons.
Only zombies that are close to the second-level mutation can grab the weapon and hold on to it under the little girl's command.
But they don't know much about how to use it. They basically just smash the weapon down and rotate it out.
But this was enough for the little girl. On the way from Hezhou to Lumba, she had been equipping the zombies with weapons.
The first is the protection of advanced zombies. When the zombies are close to the second level, an oily substance will be secreted from the surface of the body. She will ask the zombies to stick something hard on the oily substance to form a second layer of protection for the body.
For example, car doors, iron sheets, iron plates, and even tires can be put on the head to form armor.
It was impossible to take off the armor when it was on her body, so she asked the high-level zombies to pick up weapons as much as possible.
The armor can grow to three meters high, and the orangutan zombies can grow to five meters high, and they are all so powerful that ordinary weapons are no longer suitable for them.
So those telephone poles, street light poles, iron placards, or simply tree trunks have become weapons for the zombies.
After beating Lumba, all the second-level zombies, as well as a large number of powerful zombies in the first-level mutation, were equipped with weapons by the little girl.
The orangutan zombies holding telephone poles and tree trunks looked like ancient monsters, and the power of the weapons they wielded was even more astonishing.
The orangutan zombies holding telephone poles and tree trunks looked like ancient monsters, and the power of the weapons they wielded was even more astonishing.
Zombies don't know how to get tired, so these heavy weapons are not a burden to them and can be carried around all the time.
There is another kind of zombie that the little girl also protects emphatically, and that is the big-bellied water-squirting zombie.
There are now more than 500,000 of these zombies. The little girl puts them all in thick clothes or even quilts, and then rolls them around in the mud and mortar, covering their bellies as much as possible. After repeated times, protection will also be formed. layer.
This kind of protective layer can never be penetrated by a pistol, nor can it be penetrated by a rifle from a long distance. This kind of defense is basically enough.
More importantly, the little girl's control has greatly increased.
When she was in Hezhou, she could only command 10 million corpses, but now she has reached 20 million!
There are now 13 million zombies, 3 million mutant birds, and more than 4 million mutant beasts in her team.
Mutated birds and mutated rats have proven their effectiveness in the battles in Hezhou. The harassment in the air and the attacks underground can make human troops unable to guard against them. This time when they came to Lumba, the little girl unexpectedly took control of them. Approximately three million mutant mice.
And the real main force, that is, the number of armed zombies, has reached a million. This is the little girl's trump card power!
When the number of corpses reached 20 million, the little girl finally reached her limit.
A roar accompanied the north wind, and an army of 20 million zombies poured out of Lombard like a tide and began to move south to Light Chaser City!
The helicopter landed on the apron on the top floor of Tang Zheng's official residence in the inner city.
After getting off the plane, Tang Zheng went directly back indoors.
Now the large army is still on its way back, and there are only two city guard battalions guarding the entire Zhuguang City.
There is also the engineering force, which is currently helping with the transfer of survivors.
Including the University City base, five of the twelve alliance bases are located north of Zhuguang City. These five bases will be moved this time.
After Tang Zheng came back, he first asked about the transfer situation.
After being notified by Tang Zheng, everyone in the five bases began a large-scale transfer. It is expected that the transfer will be completed within three days and they will enter the international base.
Tang Zheng also received the news at this moment. Some of the corpses had left Lumba City, and their goal was to go south. It was estimated that they would reach Chasing Light City in three days.
Just when Tang Zheng was about to launch a violent attack, the director of the TV station, Li Xiaoqiang, learned that Tang Zheng was back and came over to report the situation.
Tang Zheng asked him to come in. After Li Xiaoqiang came in, he said: "General, after the corpses in Hezhou left, we connected the TV cable to Hezhou and built a signal tower there. After the lines were interconnected, we can now watch the Empire The TV signals are now available in the central, northern, eastern, northeastern and southeastern areas, and signals from far away places including Beijing can be received. Signal interoperability with about half of the empire has been achieved, and many TV programs can be watched."
"Oh, that's a good thing." Tang Zheng said something encouraging.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoqiang continued: "This time the unusual movements of the corpses in Lombard City were also monitored by other forces. Currently, many forces have expressed concern about this matter, including Her Royal Highness. You should watch TV."
When Tang Zheng heard this, he didn't immediately go into action, but turned on the TV.
The first one to receive it was still Zhuguang TV station, which was broadcasting messages for people to move.
The second TV station to broadcast was Yuanjing TV Station.
The royal institutions in Yuanjing are currently located next to Yuanjing Palace, about 500 kilometers away from Yuanjing City.
What the TV station broadcast was actually the situation in Zhuguang City.
In the TV show, Li Wuyou even appeared on the scene. She told Tang Zheng through the TV broadcast that if you are not sure, don't hold on. You can consider asking the people to move immediately and come to live in Yuanjing. She will try her best to ensure that these people daily necessities and material supplies.
Liu Yibang, who has served as the deputy commander of the Royal Guard, also said that as long as Tang Zheng needs it, he will do his best to help with the transfer and ensure safety.
It can be seen that Li Wuyou is still very concerned about the situation in Zhuguang City.
She also expressed on TV that she was pleased that Tang Zheng killed the rebellious Liao Yucheng in the military base, saying that Tang Zheng was a pillar of the empire.
But having experienced the battle to defend Hezhou, she knew the horror of the corpses. At the beginning, the 28 members of the Fifth Army were unable to defend Hezhou. Now the Light Chasing Army only has 30,000 people, and it is impossible to defend it no matter what.
But she did not give orders directly to Tang Zheng, but used this method of inquiry to express her respect for Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng looked at it for a while. Of course, he couldn't accept Li Wuyou's kindness this time, so he didn't respond for the time being.
But then he changed the channel, and Tang Zheng discovered two new TV stations, and his words were not so friendly.
In the central and southern region of Hanyue, Tian Mingfei, the commander of the Eighth Army of the Empire who guarded the Haojiang waterway, said that the light-seeking army's attack on the military camp base was a barbaric act of aggression. He demanded that Tang Zheng immediately withdraw from the military camp base and return clear skies to the people there.
There is also a TV station located in Sanjiang City in the eastern coastal area.
Sanjiang City is where Tang Zheng originally escaped. From Sanjiang to Zhuguang City, there is a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, and now dialogue can be achieved.
Sanjiang City has also established a large survival base. Currently, a large area along the eastern coast is within the sphere of influence of this base.
The leader here is Chen Hongchang, commander of the Seventh Army of the Empire.
This man was originally a marquis in Sanjiang City. At first, Sanjiang City was ruled by a grand duke. Later, the apocalypse broke out and the grand duke died. He later took over and integrated Sanjiang City, and is now also an imperial duke.
In the news, the deputy commander of the Seventh Army, former Imperial Baron and now Imperial Marquis Song Yinghao, directly attacked Tang Zheng on TV.
Song Yinghao's speech was even simpler: "Tang Zheng is a sinner of the empire. He escaped from Sanjiang City and did many evil things in Sanjiang. If the zombies attack the Light Chaser City this time, it will be caused by his sins. Even if he can If he survives, our Seventh Army will definitely be at odds with him!"
