"Boom."
"Dong dong."
A dull crashing sound came from behind the earth wall. In confusion, people thought of a very bad possibility, and the faces of the ability users in front of the earth wall suddenly turned ashen.
"Crack." "Clang-crash."
To everyone's surprise, a big hole collapsed in the earthen wall. It was a late-stage second-level P-type gorilla. After it broke through the wall, it felt confused. It looked around before seeing an ability user nearby, and pinched the opponent's neck with one hand to lift him up. Perhaps this man was also frightened. Before he could resist, he was caught in the hands of the gorilla. The man opened his mouth and bit him on the cheek. Blood sprayed all over the ground with a miserable howl. Behind the P2 gorilla, countless black corpses swarmed in along the gap.
"Oh my god, the second-level gorilla! This is the real battering ram." The bearded man in the three-person team opened his mouth wide and looked around blankly.
In his field of vision, a second gap and a third gap appeared. More and more weak spots in the earth wall were broken by other strong P2 gorilla.
At the same time, on the north side of the earth wall that they could not see, thousands of black corpses had formed a slope of human flesh. Countless black corpses stepped over the bodies of their companions and crossed the earth wall, falling like dumplings from the heads of the ability users. . The ability users were instantly surrounded.
"Fuck, I have no energy!"
"Me too."
"Go, fight out!"
"What should I do? There are black corpses everywhere."
"It's a ghost monkey, there are many second-level ghost monkeys, ah... my arm!"
"Go back, run back to survive!"
"Help, someone help me!"
Special black corpses are like "ability users" among the corpses. In their areas of expertise, evolvers of the same level are often no match for them. And esper users who have exhausted their crystal energy are not much better than evolved ones.
There were still a few ability users who still had some energy left, so they either sped up and ran, or took off into the air to evade. Some people brought rifles with them, so they simply fired back, fighting to the death. But they have never participated in base training, and their marksmanship is not as good as that of recruits who participated in the training camp...
"The frontline rifle squad is under command, allowed to fire freely, and ready to evacuate at any time. Repeat, the frontline rifle squad is under command..."
"Brother Sanxi, what should we do?"
"What else can I do? Fight! Can I still be a deserter?"
The soldiers did not dare to shoot randomly for fear of hurting their own people. Sanxi fired a long burst of 8 bullets, but almost accidentally injured a power user. The man panicked and ran in a straight line when escaping. In this way, this ability user becomes a protective shield for the black corpses. The black corpses chasing behind him can never be taken care of by the soldiers of the rifle squad...
"Fuck, it's such a hindrance."
Sanxi felt angry, so she had no choice but to follow the method taught by instructor Chen Hui to point and shoot, shooting in groups of two or three to avoid the muzzle jumping causing a decrease in accuracy. In this way, it would be less easy to hurt these ability users. But similarly, the casualties among the corpses dropped sharply after the firepower was reduced, which was not good news for the people on the front line.
Xuanzi held the rifle and concentrated on firing, a layer of fine beads of sweat already forming on his forehead. He said anxiously: "Really, didn't you ask them to help? Why do you still need us to save them?"
"Let's stop being stupid and look for an opportunity..." Although the bald old Zhao didn't say the word "slip", he was already looking left and right, thinking about his future retreat.
At this moment, something unexpected happened on Xiaoliang's side. The third time he encountered a dumb bomb, the ammunition misfired when he pulled the trigger, and the bad bomb could not be ejected no matter how hard he pulled the bolt. After repeating it several times, Xiaoliang almost cried.
"What else are you pulling? Do you want to disassemble the gun? Can you repair it? Take it."
Sanxi threw away another Type 63 and gritted his teeth and said, "If it doesn't work, just get a new one. The management committee has left us a lot of spares. Three of them are enough for one person."
"Will something like this get damp if it's wrapped in butter?"
A word floated behind him: "Nonsense, it will be as high as the sky in a few decades. These are all stocks before the new Cold War period." Xuanzi looked back and saw that it was the squad leader who had returned.
"Squad leader, why are you here?"
"Nonsense, can you still run away if I don't come?" the squad leader said angrily, "I just got on the phone with the boss. If we hold on for a while, we will retreat immediately if the situation goes wrong."
"Okay, you can rest assured with these words." Lao Zhao smiled bitterly and nodded repeatedly to the squad leader.
The first squad leader's marksmanship is obviously much better than the others. After he joined, the casualties of the black corpses on this section of the defense line increased, and the advance of the corpse group slowed down a lot.
But this was only a drop in the bucket. Originally, they were stationed on the first line of defense, and the corpse group was still 800 meters away from them, but now it was less than 300 meters away. Thousands of black corpses were rushing towards us, but there were only 250 new recruits on the defense line. It would be a lie to say that we were not nervous.
In the original plan, part of the corpse group should be divided by earth walls, and the people with abilities should concentrate on destroying them. Then the ability users retreated, and the rifle squad took over to fight the scattered corpses that crossed the earth wall. Although the earth wall is not indestructible, with this obstacle, the advancement speed of the corpse group will be greatly slowed down. After that, the corpse group advanced again, and the earth wall was able to score twice and raise another one. As the saying goes, exchanging space for time, the ability user will also have sufficient recovery time. With the concentrated fire cooperation of all members of the rifle squad, it is possible to win this battle.
Solutions that work in theory will fail, partly because they ignore human nature and the cooperation between ability users and ordinary warriors. Only more than two minutes had passed since the ability users were defeated, but the situation on the battlefield took a turn for the worse. Not only were the soldiers on the defense line anxious, but Caiyun, who was hiding on one side of the battlefield, was also anxious.
Now the crystal energy reserve in her body has only been restored to less than half, but the situation is urgent and Caiyun does not allow Caiyun to think too much. Finally, she seized the opportunity and teamed up with Cai Shifen to cast an earth wall barrier again, and the remaining crystal energy used her full strength to attack the corpse group.
There was a series of loud rumbles, and another earth wall rose from the ground, once again dividing the corpse group into two disconnected parts.
At the same time, the ground cracked, and cone-shaped rocks pierced through the ground and crashed all the way, knocking countless black corpses to the ground.
Immediately following the "Rock Dragon Impact", Cai Shifen also used a move of "Crushing Earth into an Army". After a few seconds, three tall earth-attribute puppets separated from the soil layer. This puppet looked like a giant. It blocked the group of corpses and struggled with the gorilla. Coupled with the chaos caused by the impact of the earth dragon, the ability users finally had the opportunity to escape some distance from the group of corpses. They will retreat to the second and third lines of defense of the outer city via the sides and will no longer be an obstacle in the path of rifle fire.
"Quick, everyone focuses their fire and use up all the bullets around them!"
This time the rifle squad could finally fire without fear. The yellow bullets, carrying angry flames, poured forward like rain, and countless black corpses a hundred meters away were torn into pieces in an instant.
Among the random gunfire, many bullets hit the earthen wall behind the corpses. The earth wall formed the second time was already weak, so it suffered heavy damage. After being pushed hard by the strong black corpse behind, it collapsed one after another.
"There is an intermittent ceasefire, and a group of two goes to the designated location to throw grenades, while the others pay attention to cover."
The black corpses in the front were wiped out, but they continued to come up in the back. The squad leaders on the front line immediately ordered the soldiers to come forward in batches, carrying wooden boxes containing grenades, and started throwing grenades in a simple trench not far from the defense line.
Xuanzi shouted with a dozen grenades in his arms like he was venting his anger: "Grandma, I'll blow up you monsters!"
Immediately afterwards, grenades flew into the sky one after another, crossing a beautiful parabola and falling into the group of corpses. After a one-second delay, there was a loud bang, earth debris flew away, gravel scattered, fire and smoke scattered in all directions. The black corpses within ten meters nearby were immediately torn apart, and those further away were also overturned by the air waves.
The wooden-handled grenade was pretty powerful, but there wasn't much in a box, so it was quickly thrown away. Xuanzi hurriedly dropped the wooden box and ran back to the defense line with Sanxi.
"It's our turn this time."
Xiaoliang was nervous and excited. After obtaining the consent of the squad leader, he dragged the bald old Zhao and the wooden box full of grenades out of the defense line. Covered by their comrades, the black corpse that had been knocked over by a grenade had not yet recovered, and they soon arrived in the trench.
There are also many soldiers like them who have come to this front line. They are all the second batch of grenade throwers. For a grenade with a dead weight of about 600 grams, the longest throw record in the army before the Cataclysm was 113 meters. After the disaster, the black mist broke out and people passively became evolvers. Even Xiao Liang could easily throw a grenade 90 meters away. It can be seen that the physique of ordinary people is more than twice as strong as before.
The explosion continued, visibility was poor in the thick smoke, and Cai Shifen and Caiyun, whose crystal energy was almost exhausted, prepared to retreat temporarily. But the moment they turned around, a thin and agile figure rushed over from the side. The guy was so powerful that he threw Cai Shifen to the ground in one fell swoop.
"Second-level ghost monkey!"
Caiyun screamed without panic, and quickly took out the police pistol she carried with her and fired. The 9mm bullets passed through the muzzle one after another, leaving dark holes in the ghost monkey's thin back. However, the corpse transformation does not feel pain. Although the ghost monkey left Cai Shifen, it left a terrifying wound on the other's neck. The skin and flesh in the wound were rolled up, the trachea could be vaguely seen, and blood surged outward like a fountain.
Cai Shifen can no longer be saved, will I be next?
Ghost Monkey and Caiyun faced each other face to face, their dark eyes seemed to be shining with scrutiny. The front paws that were constantly scratching on the ground indicated that this guy might attack again at any time. For a moment, Caiyun's mind went blank. She threw away the pistol by mistake, gathered the last bit of earth crystal energy in her body, and prepared to fight the ghost monkey and black corpse.
The ghost monkey finally couldn't hold it any longer. It sprinted towards Caiyun, as if it wanted to repeat its old tricks. But Caiyun was not to be outdone. The gleaming earth-yellow light appeared around her, and one person and one corpse were about to collide in the blink of an eye!
At this moment, the black corpse of the ghost monkey in mid-air seemed to have been hit hard by something. Its body turned half a circle involuntarily, passed Caiyun and fell to the ground. Caiyun took a quick look and saw that the other party was missing half of his head and was already dead.
"It's dangerous outside, come back quickly!"
The voice of veteran Chen Hui sounded on the intercom. Not far away, Chen Hui was lying on his stomach on top of the outer city wall. A heavy bolt-action sniper rifle was pressed against his shoulder, and smoke was rising from the muzzle.
"I'm really old. I really took a shot in the left shoulder and a shot in the right shoulder. I went home to recuperate."
Chen Hui laughed at himself and twisted his shoulders, aiming the scope at the rear of the corpses in the distance.
"My old bones...this is...why are there so many special black corpses?"
In the view of the camera, a special group of corpses consisting of bone-spurring black corpses and spitting black corpses suddenly appeared. They gathered together strangely, protected by shields in the center, and there were at least several hundred of them.
"Why... would a special group of corpses spontaneously form?"
Chen Hui couldn't understand, but his eyes suddenly widened and he remembered a more important thing - the soldiers on the front line were still kept in the dark!
…
When Chen Hui rescued Caiyun half a minute ago, Xiao Liang and Lao Chen were preparing to retreat on the front battlefield. A large number of grenades caused considerable results, almost blocking the advance of the corpse group. But grenades are no better than bullets and are consumed faster, so they plan to replenish the defense line before coming back.
Xiao Liang, who walked out of the trench, never expected that a ball of fishy mucus would suddenly splash on him. Pain, severe pain, as if someone were peeling off their own skin and plunging themselves into burning coals.
"Ah...it hurts..."
"Small light!"
His skin has melted with mucus, his muscles are sizzling in the mucus, and fascia and white bones are even exposed in some places.
When Lao Zhao saw this miserable situation, he was so frightened that he could only retreat while trembling. What he didn't expect was that a group of nearby bombardiers were also hit. They were in the process of throwing, but were interrupted by the spitter's acid attack. The grenade that had been unplugged but not thrown out fell into the ammunition box, causing a serious explosion immediately. Lao Zhao was also affected. A slightly larger fragment penetrated his helmet, leaving a thumb-sized wound on his skull. Just this wound the size of a thumb could easily kill Lao Zhao.
"Xiao Liang! Lao Zhao!"
"You damn black corpse, I'll fight you!"
The squad leader held down the frantic Sanxi and shouted at him: "They can't be saved. Do you want to die? Think about your wife and children!"
He grabbed Sanxi, but not Xuanzi. Xuanzi jumped out of the trench, and before he could get close to the struggling Xiaoliang, a sudden bone spur penetrated his facial bones.
"A black corpse with bone spurs! There is a black corpse with bone spurs on the opposite side!"
Screams and warnings echoed nearby, and after this bone spur, more bone spurs swarmed in. The squad leader couldn't help but fell into the trap and was shot through the shoulder blade by a bone spur.
"Ugh, it hurts."
"Squad leader!" Sanxi burst into tears, "If you hadn't stood up to stop me, you wouldn't have been shot..."
"Why are you talking about this now? Sanxi, please take the people away!" The squad leader looked at the boys and girls lying around shivering in the trenches and said to Sanxi, "We can't hold on here anymore, you guys leave quickly!"
"I don't, monitor, let's go together!"
"You bastard!" The squad leader pointed at the soldiers who were about the same age as Xiaoliang and said, "Take these children and leave first. I will catch up soon."
"Monitor..."
"I'll kill you." The squad leader took out a pistol and put it against the opponent's forehead. "This is an order!"
Finally Sanxi left. He took advantage of the gap between the bone spurs and took nothing but the few surviving little warriors. The squad leader lay on his back in the trench, stretched out his hand tremblingly and took out the cigarette case, trying to light a cigarette for himself, but found that the last stock was the half that Sanxi wanted to take away before the war started.
"Damn... it's such a bad time."
The squad leader gave a wry smile and stood up slowly while holding on to the ditch. There used to be a team of more than thirty people here, but now there are dead bodies everywhere. Not far away, there were other rifle squad members who continued to fight, but that person's gun suddenly exploded. The injured soldier covered his face and rolled on the ground. The next moment, he was bitten by a ghost monkey that came up. Throat.
Opposite the first squad leader stood a black corpse of a ghost monkey. He was probably only in the middle of the first level, but at this moment he was the god of death who could decide his fate.
Looking at the guy, he suddenly sneered.
"Monster, you are so ugly."
