"How is it?" Shen Quan asked in the first 30A tank.
"The headquarters sent a message that the shelling was ineffective and the group of spewing corpses was intact."
"Damn it!" Shen Quan punched his thigh hard. "The distance is just right, but I didn't expect to be stopped!"
"Yes, this corpse king is so ruthless. He actually used hundreds of black corpses of gorillas as human shields to spew out the corpses."
"Captain, what should we do? The headquarters reminds us to speed up and return. The nearest corpse group is now less than 100 meters away from us!"
"Let's go!" Shen Quan gritted his teeth bitterly, "Inform the second car that we will return to the city from two separate routes. Remember not to block the firing range of the rifle squad."
"clear!"
On the dilapidated grassland, a tank rumbled past. The defense line of the outer city was already within easy reach, with people on the city walls waiting in full array, and on the horizon was a black wave stretching out from the edge of the jungle.
The black corpses are running wildly, the ground is shaking, and the black corpse tide is spreading here, as if there is an endless stream, giving people a great sense of oppression.
2000 meters, 1500 meters, 1200 meters, 1000 meters, entering the range!
"Attention, all combat squads, open fire immediately. People with abilities must guard the bastion where you are. Please support the bastion if necessary. Never allow a black corpse to cross the city wall!"
"Bastion No. 1 received it." "No. 2 received it." "No. 3 understands."
After receiving the wireless message, Xiao Heizi smiled at Lin Wenjin on the No. 1 Bastion Platform: "It's our turn to appear next."
"That's right." Lin Wenjin laughed, "Let me get off to a good start first."
After he finished speaking, he stood with his legs spread apart in front and back, raised his forearm, raised the bow and shot an arrow in one go, and he drew the compound horn bow lightly into a full moon.
"brush--"
The feather arrow shot out in response, crossing the heads of countless black corpses along a parabola, and finally landed in an inconspicuous corner among the corpse tide. There was a ditch here, and there was a layer of black grease flowing in the ditch. Suddenly, a trace of sparks shot out from the arrow's arrow, and then there was a "bang" of heat waves and a sea of fire. The flames burned the clothes of countless black corpses, and then ignited more passing black corpses as the corpse tide advanced.
After a while, although the fire dragon in the trench was crushed, the corpse tide looked brighter on the other side.
But thinking about it, the black corpses in the cold winter are all as dry as firewood. It would be strange if they were not ignited. The burned black corpse didn't notice anything until the flames eroded the brain and killed the spore community living in it. Then it lost sight and fell straight down. After the first one, there was a second one, and more and more black corpses died due to the flames. Until a minute later, there were thousands of dead black corpses!
"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful with the candle." Lin Wenjin blew gently to extinguish the flame on his fingertips.
"Lin Bo, it seems that your spark has improved again."
"Slightly improved, slightly improved hahaha."
"Lin Bo, let's go!"
Xiao Heizi pushed himself against the wall and flew into the air. Lin Wenjin's skill that was imprinted by Xiao Heizi before was still effective, so he also flew into the air.
"There are a few P1 gorillas there."
"Leave it to me. Dragnet, strangle!"
The next moment, many translucent wind blades suddenly appeared in the space. These wind blades connected into a net, surrounding these guys, first splitting their flesh and skin layer by layer. Before they had time to resist, the sharp wind energy had already reached the spore colony on the back of the black corpse's head, strangulating them on the spot.
"Heizi, take it easy, you are only at the early stage of the second level, don't you know?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Lin. Didn't Brother Lang Hua say that I am a main ability user? I can handle it."
Lin Wenjin shook his head and stopped blocking him. Of course he knew that Xiao Heizi was different. Otherwise, how could he explain that he could imprint abilities and create followers at the third level? Perhaps the so-called basic main ability users have far more special and powerful aspects than these.
Thinking of this, he took out three steel nails in his pocket, shook his hand and shot them into the distance.
"Jinsha, Maimang!" "Ding ding ding——"
The steel nails were like darts, hitting the three ghost monkeys accurately. They were only at level 1, and they couldn't even withstand Lin Wenjin's casual blow at the end of level 2.
Other ability users on the other side also participated, including the previous "Battery Ram" team and the "Magnet" team. They fought together, using hammers and javelins made of fine steel to continuously kill the P1 Gorillas and D1 Shields in the corpse group. Because these ability users generally only had the first level, they ran out of energy soon, and soon returned to the edge. Within the defense line of the fort.
In a hail of bullets, two Type 30A tanks finally successfully arrived in the outer city.
As soon as they entered the city, someone skillfully pulled through the water pipe to rescue them.
"Rinse with soda ash solution, quickly!"
The thick white solution was sprayed on the surface of the car body, and instantly made a strange sizzling sound. The vaporized water evaporated, making the air here foggy.
Along the way, the two 30A vehicles were hit by corrosive slime at least two or three times. The antennas, light sets and tool boxes on the outer shell were corroded to a mess. If the tracks and transmission wheels were not intact, they might not be able to come back!
These people are heroes, not just anyone dares to fight against the zombie tide. They risked their lives this time, but they also achieved fruitful results. The armor-piercing bullets penetrated hundreds of meters violently, and each one killed at least a thousand black corpses. The effect of high-explosive bombs is somewhat worse, because most of them are blocked by P1 gorilla, and the final killing effect is actually worse than that of howitzers.
"It's so hateful. This corpse king actually uses hundreds of P1s as human shields in the front row."
Chen Quan got out of the tank and said coldly: "What a generous move. This guy is really good at learning."
The Corpse King really learned a lesson this time. With the P1 gorilla used as a shield, most of the kinetic energy of the shell fragments is lost after passing through the gorilla, and the lethality is naturally greatly reduced.
After the previous failed charges, it must have discovered that the P-type gorilla was completely useless against the tall outer city walls of Langya City. Although the proportion of low-level gorilla in the corpse group is not small, their strength cannot destroy the solid wall of Langya City. Moreover, during the charge, their tall stature and clumsy reactions would make them targets of fire for the soldiers, so they might as well be thrown in the front row to block the bullets for the corpses.
The two emergency tanks had been driven away by logistics. Xing Wutian stood on the wall and hurriedly ordered: "Close the city gate!"
The tank crew was followed by a group of corpses, and the nearest one was only about a hundred meters away from the city wall. When people saw this, they hurriedly closed the city gate.
"Pulsation of the Earth - Rock Barrier!" "Extended Plasticity - Strengthening!"
On the edge of the defense line, Caiyun and Xing Wutian took action one after another to strengthen the weak points of the city gate. In the blink of an eye, a granite shell was attached to the outside of the city gate, and this rock shell gradually thickened and deformed, and soon became integrated with the surrounding city walls.
"Old Wu, we will act separately this time," Xing Wutian greeted No. 3 Bastion, "I'll leave the frontal confrontation to you. I have to look after the edge of the city wall."
"Don't worry." Wu Ke put down his hammers and found a rifle to hold against his shoulders. "I will make sure these monsters never come back!"
"The corpses are coming, everyone is on alert!"
"Ta-ta-ta-ta."
With an order, many rifle squads on the edge of the defense line opened fire in unison.
A bullet hit a running male black corpse and immediately punched a big hole in its shoulder. It fell backwards, but before its body hit the ground, a second or third bullet chased it and bit it in the waist. With a click, the black corpse's body broke into two pieces, but the bullet continued to hit the two companions behind it. One black corpse fell to the ground, tripping over more black corpses. The powerful kinetic energy of the steel-core warhead injured, maimed, and knocked over the black corpses, causing a small-scale commotion among the dense group of corpses.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. At the same time, in the entire zombie wave, countless bullets were hitting countless black corpses. Some hit the head and split the brains, some hit the chest and blood and flesh were scattered, and some hit them crookedly and interrupted one after another. Arms and thighs. The bullets flew everywhere, even if they deviated from the original target, they would hit another black corpse in other directions. In the end, the steel-core warhead will not stop until the kinetic energy is dissipated, and will be permanently embedded in the flesh, blood, muscles and bones of a certain black corpse.
Under the initial concentrated fire, thousands of black corpses in the front row of the corpse wave were directly beaten into pieces of rotten flesh, and the momentum of the corpse group's advance was stopped. Red, black, yellow, and white, all mixed into a pile of shapeless dregs. Duan Hei was fighting nearby at this time. Seeing such a scene, his face immediately turned pale and his stomach couldn't help but churn.
"Lin Bo..."
"Heizi, let's go back." Lin Wenjin said hurriedly when he saw this.
There are too many black corpses. Even if one black corpse is knocked down, there will still be thousands of black corpses standing up. Even if one black corpse is killed, there will still be tens of thousands of black corpses charging. Now that the zombie army has arrived, the role that these two ability users can play is already a drop in the bucket. It is better to return to the defense line as soon as possible while it is safe.
Behind the two of them, hundreds of thousands of black corpses were getting closer and closer to the wall of Langya City at the cost of thousands of black corpses.
Back at Fortress No. 1, people nearby were busy shooting, changing ammunition, transporting ammunition, dismantling and dismantling it for distribution. Everyone was nervous and calm, and the scene was extremely noisy and tense.
The group of corpses came closer, and the firepower on the city wall became more intensive. With four sections of edge walls, three bastions, 7,000 men and 7,000 guns, the entire defense line can theoretically fire at least tens of thousands of bullets per second. The average black zombies are mostly from the late first level to the peak first level, and their bone strength is far from being able to withstand 7.62mm bullets, so "killing the black zombies" should be very simple.
But real war is often far from theory. Not to mention that the ammunition stock in Langya City is limited. If the soldiers continue to shoot without any care, the ammunition depot in Langya City will be squandered in just half an hour. Even if there is endless ammunition on the defense line, the rifle still needs to be aimed and reloaded during the shooting process, and the theoretical maximum rate of fire cannot be guaranteed at all. And even if every bullet hits the black corpse, the vitality of the corpse mutant is far stronger than that of humans, and one bullet or even three or five bullets may not be able to kill it.
"Uncle Chen, how are you doing here?"
"Click." "Fifty-sixth one. This time it's an S2 ghost monkey."
There is a tower in the center of the edge between No. 1 and No. 2 bastions. On the roof platform, Chen Hui is lying next to the wall with a sniper rifle, pulling the bolt and muttering to himself. The proportion of special black corpses in this zombie wave is much higher than in the previous times. From time to time, there are second-level ghost monkeys or gorillas hidden among the ordinary black corpses. Except for those with abilities, only Chen Hui's sniper rifle can deal with them.
"I'm still within the controllable range here, but your bastions are located near the front, attracting a large army of black corpses. Be extremely careful." Chen Hui held the sniper rifle and looked around in the sniper scope, and was suddenly shocked. He shouted, "Damn it, it's said that Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived, and the black corpse army is going to attack the city wall!"
"Everyone is on alert, everyone is on alert! Never allow the black corpse to cross the city wall!"
After receiving the order, the rifle squad assigned most of its manpower to focus on "taking care" of the corpses that came under the city wall. Bullets rained down on the base of the city wall, immediately killing the hundreds of black corpses that were leading the wave of corpses. The beating knocked people off their feet.
But are there more than just these hundreds of black corpses in the corpse tide? While the first few rows of black corpses were being killed and maimed, more black corpses were coming from the rear, filling the vacancies of these dead at a rate of five, ten, or dozens of times. They swarmed forward, stepping on the corpses of their companions, and eventually crowded every corner under the city wall.
Within a few minutes, the scale of the corpse tide not only did not decrease due to the fire on the city wall, but intensified because the black corpses behind were not disturbed. In the end, the black corpses who arrived under the city wall had nowhere to go, so they passively crowded into a corpse wall and climbed upwards. They don't care whether the companions they step on are dead or alive. They just keep climbing up, up, and up again, extending their dry and twisted claws to the people on the city wall!
"Shoot, they're coming!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Concentrate the fire, focus the fire downwards!"
"No, I can't aim at this angle..."
"What are you talking about? Even if you can't aim, you have to aim for me!"
In the temporary command room under the city wall, the computer in front of Fu Lianhe showed real-life images of the front line. After such a brutal battle, there was only a wall between those ferocious monsters, this temporary command room, and his flesh and blood body, Fu Lianhe. Thinking of this, his teeth chattered involuntarily. He wanted to run away, but the young man's pride in his heart warned him that he must stick to his post.
"Fu Lianhe, let the people in the bastion and the edge cover each other."
Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale... After taking a few deep breaths, Fu Lianhe replied: "Fu Lianhe received it."
This was an order from Chen Xinyan, reminding Fu Lianhe to act according to the plan.
"The headquarters issued an urgent order to allocate 1/2 of the manpower on the edge defense line to keep attacking the black corpses in the distance. No, leave 1/4 to defend against the corpse wall, and the rest of the people will focus on attacking the black corpses 50 to 100 meters away from the outer wall. Corpses, be sure to intercept the corpses at their original location!"
"In addition, the combat squad defending the bastion is asked to concentrate its firepower to cover the nearby edge. The personnel left behind on the edge defense line send combat squads to support the bastion battle."
On the other side, on the platform of Bastion No. 3, Qi Jingmin turned his head with a gun in hand, looking very unhappy.
"What do you mean, you want us to cover those ordinary people?"
"Maybe it's to alternate cover," Jin Youcai thought for a while. "This way the shooting angles of the two sides are relatively better. I heard it was a strategy left by Lang Hua before he left."
"Bullshit strategy." Qi Jingmin held his finger on the trigger without letting go, emptying the bullet in the magazine as if to vent his anger. An ordinary first-order black corpse was beaten into a sieve.
"Mayor Cao," Qi Jingmin said, "can Langya City survive this time?"
"I don't think it can be done." Cao Liang, who was standing nearby, slowly shook his head. "The scale of this zombie wave is unprecedented, and the zombie king is behind it. Who dares to win easily?"
"Ah?" Jin Youcai was shocked, "Then don't we have to explain it here too?"
"Let's get through this siege first."
Cao Liang aimed his gun at a black corpse of a ghost monkey hidden among the corpses, but several bullets missed in succession, which made him very annoyed.
In the past three days, the zombie tide has attacked the city five times, but it has never been so ferocious, and there have never been as many special black corpses mixed in the corpse group as this time. As the previous deputy mayor in charge of the economy in Shashi City, Cao Liang has always been very sensitive to numbers. He has reason to suspect that this attack by the zombies may be far more simple than the previous ones.
Currently, the people stationed at Bastion No. 2 are the ability users who are attached to Cao Liang and the others and the people who voluntarily joined the Autonomous Association. The total number is about a thousand people. Their numbers and firepower are basically the same as other defense lines, but because they are guarding one of the three bastions, they are more dangerous than the edge defense lines.
"President Jin, don't worry," Qi Jingmin pulled Jin Youcai and whispered quietly, "We have legs on our own bodies, is it possible that we can die together with these idiots?"
"Brother Qi is right. Now you and I are both second-level ability users, and we will have a bright future in the future..."
