"What's going on? Didn't you say that the special senses are all clustered and hidden behind the zombie tide?"
Special Sense is the abbreviation of Special Infectious Body of Spore Black Mist. It is different from the official name of Special Black Corpse, which is a mouthful. People generally use Special Sense to refer to all types of special Black Corpses.
On Bastion No. 3, Wu Ke struggled to lift an extra-large wooden shield to protect himself and the seven or eight people around him. The bone spurs passed by the ears as they were projected, making a whooshing sound.
Wu Ke pinched his earphones angrily and cursed in the public channel: "Fu Lianhe, what's going on over there?"
"The system is analyzing... It may be that the light is too dark and the drone did not capture the picture in time."
"Bullshit system, there is no warning for this kind of thing, do you want to kill us all?"
"Calm down! Old Wu." Lin Wenjin shouted, "What's the use of complaining about him now?"
"The attacks of these guys are too scattered and irregular. Find out what's going on."
When the spitting black zombies or bone-spurring black zombies attack in groups, the wooden shield can provide people with timely cover. But now the special black corpses in the corpse group are fighting on their own, and corrosive mucus and bone spurs are shot from time to time, making it impossible to guard against them.
And if they want to continue fighting, the soldiers cannot hide under the log shields frequently, otherwise everyone will die when the black corpses attack the wall.
A step forward is death, and a step back is death. In the face of a life-and-death crisis, everyone is forced to turn red-eyed.
"No," Fu Lianhe exclaimed as he looked at the red dots behind the corpse tide on the screen, "the special group of corpses are still there, this is another batch of special ones."
Xing Wutian was puzzled: "How come there are two batches of special feelings at the same time? Are they inseparable?"
"Damn, I hunted geese all day long and got pecked out of my eyes by geese." Wu Ke said angrily, "We have been tricked. The special sense has long been divided into two parts. Most of them have gathered in groups and hidden behind the zombie tide to attack us from a distance. Attacked, a few of them were broken into pieces and hid among the corpses. That Corpse King is a smart guy."
"What should we do? Now the soldiers are so beaten by these disgusting skills that they can't hold their heads up."
On the chaotic battlefield, people are dying every moment. Although Wu Ke is a person with abilities, he can only protect himself at best. He felt extremely angry about this. It was obvious that these special black corpses responsible for long-range attacks were weak and could kill them with just a peanut. But it was dark at this time, and these guys were scattered and hidden among the corpses, so they became extremely difficult to deal with!
"Do you have any ideas? Whether it's a good idea or a stupid idea, come up with one quickly."
"No, the special zombie group is also moving, and their target is here!"
Xing Wutian was still organizing defense on the edge of the city wall: "What can we do? If these guys join in, the defense line will be even more chaotic!"
"We..." Fu Lianhe considered, "In the first sequence of plans, we still have the last step to take..."
"No, at least not yet."
"Dean, why are you here?"
Fu Lianhe, Chen Xinyan and Yang Xiaoxiao were now crowded in the small temporary command room. Fu Lianhe didn't expect Chen Xinyan to be behind him unknowingly. While he was surprised, he thought about the sharp turn of the war situation and how much Lang Hua valued Chen Xinyan.
"It's too dangerous here, you shouldn't be here!"
"Remote control command is worse than no command at all. Listen to me, I will take over here now." Chen Xinyan reached for the walkie-talkie, "Attention, all ability user teams, I am Chen Xinyan. The removal level of the special black corpses in the corpse group is now marked as priority. , please pay attention to wireless messages and eliminate them as soon as possible.”
In the first sequence of plans for Langya City to deal with the zombie siege, the last link refers to - when the situation is extremely critical, all members of Langya City retreat to the inner city to await reinforcements.
"Dean..."
Fu Lianhe looked at the other party and hesitated to speak. He didn't understand that the situation within the zombie tide was now complex and changeable, and a strategic retreat might be able to significantly reduce losses. Besides, haven’t we always used this tactic of exchanging space for time?
"I know you have doubts." Chen Xinyan turned around and looked at Fu Lianhe quietly, "Do you think things will turn around as long as you retreat to the inner city and hold on until dawn?"
The other party had already seen through his own thoughts, so Fu Lianhe could only nod in agreement.
"But have you ever thought about it? Once we leave the Star Fortress, there is no danger for us to defend it. If even the tall and strong outer city walls and the star-shaped forts that can form cross-covers can't stop the zombie tide, what's the point of retreating to the inner city walls? What's the meaning? Or can the inner city really allow us to hold on until dawn? And with the mob here, chaos is 100% possible on the way back. Once a rout occurs, Langya City will be in danger and people's hearts will be lost. Destruction will only happen sooner or later."
After hearing this, Fu Lianhe felt a little depressed. He asked: "So besides trying our best to defend the outer city, do we have no other way out?"
"No!" Unexpectedly, Chen Xinyan slammed the table hard at this time, "Offense is the best defense, this time I will take the initiative."
"What do you mean?" Fu Lianhe couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Fu Lianhe, release all your drones. I want to see the panoramic view of the defense line outside the city!"
"yes!"
"Attention on all defense lines, close the firing range across the board. From now on, look closer to ensure that the black corpses don't cross the city wall and bite your throats out! The team of capable users listens to the order, and the command center will provide special senses among the corpses. Clear positioning, I need you to carry out targeted elimination of the target!"
"Flare!"
"Coming!" Several illumination bombs were fired simultaneously from each defense line. When the projectiles reached the apex of the parabola, the illuminating agent emitted a dazzling light, almost turning the area 500 to 1,000 meters under the city wall into daylight. The flare didn't stay high in the sky for long before it began to fall with its bright white tail. The black corpses didn't understand why, and many of them excitedly extended their palms upward, like spectators catching hydrangeas at a wedding.
Although the light above the corpse tide only lasted 20 seconds, it was enough for Chen Xinyan!
She sat in front of the command podium, staring intently at the high-definition video sent back by the drone, and the orders she spoke were transmitted to all directions through radio waves.
"Fortress No. 1, in your direction at 10 o'clock, there is a group of spitting black corpses 800 meters away. The total number is 7 to 8."
"Fortress No. 3, there are four bone-spurred black corpses 300 meters directly in front of you. There are gorilla protection on the outside. Please take precautions."
"In the same direction, 450 meters away, there are 6 poisonous black corpses, blocked by four shields."
"On the east edge, there are three spitters a little below the city wall. They are already very close to you."
"The west edge,..."
In just 20 seconds, using a pair of naked eyes to find small clusters of various special black corpses among hundreds of thousands of corpses, and to find distinctive cases among dense dynamic images, how much observation power does this require? Even if it's like finding a needle in a haystack, that's it.
"The brain's ability is 'microscopic'." Behind the two of them, Yang Xiaoxiao quietly narrowed his eyes.
After the flares burned out, the drone's synchronized picture also returned to darkness. Chen Xinyan closed her eyes, as if she could still see the panoramic view of the last second before the light went out in her mind. Fu Lianhe and Yang Xiaoxiao did not dare to disturb them. Five seconds later, the other party reported a series of data again.
This time the target is a special black corpse that is alone.
"One black corpse with bone spurs and one black corpse with spitting energy. They are relatively close, with coordinates 103 and 055."
"A black corpse of a gorilla, estimated to be level 2, with coordinates 068 and 080."
"One is poisoned and protected by a shield-armored black corpse. Coordinates are 037 and 030."
…
According to pre-war regulations, the command headquarters divided the two-kilometer-long edge defense line into 200 parts, which were used as the X coordinate. The vertical distance from the X-axis, that is, the distance from the edge defense line, is used as the Y coordinate. Theoretically, in the plane coordinate system of the battlefield, any ground target can be located with these two parameters.
"Flare, release!"
In the brief light, people on the defense line took out the few remaining rockets and looked for the special black corpse marked in the radio transmission.
"RPG!" "Boom—bang!"
When the smoke cleared, people were surprised to find under the searchlights that the group of bone-spurred black corpses surrounded by the gorilla black corpses had suffered heavy casualties.
"Okay! It works."
"No, look. The other group of black corpses with bone spurs are still alive."
It was a group of bone spurs protected by a shield-armored black corpse. Although two of the four shield-armored black corpses blocking the front were dead, the group of bone spurs survived the explosion unharmed, and finally stood up staggeringly. People couldn't help but take a breath when they thought that the shield-armored black zombie was a type that specialized in defense and could withstand portable rockets at only the second level.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang—”
But just when people were at a loss what to do, five black corpses with bone spurs fell straight down one after another. Looking in the direction of the gunfire, he saw Chen Hui leading several soldiers lying on the top of the tower.
They were four talented snipers who had been trained by Chen Hui. They were good at using armor-piercing bullets to deal with solid gorillas and shields. This time, although most of the bone-spurred black corpse's body was blocked by the shield, it could not escape the sniper's eyes. Because the corpse group is constantly moving, as long as the bone-spurred black corpse accidentally exposes its weak points, a sniper bullet can pass through the gaps between many obstacles and kill it in one fell swoop.
"Bang." "Bang."
The sniper team was also looking for other targets. One of them found a lone poisonous black corpse and blew it up with a bullet.
"Instructor, I hit it."
"Good, keep going. What is it?"
"It's a poisonous black corpse, with no evolutionary level visible."
Chen Hui took his eyes away from the scope and suddenly became confused: "Why is it a poisonous black corpse?"
…
By this time of the broadcast, no less than a hundred pieces of information had been transmitted to various parts of the defense line through communicators. People on different positions were fighting on their own, sometimes making gains, sometimes missing targets. Generally speaking, it was stabilizing.
The powerful observation and calculation ability displayed by the "micro" ability is comparable to that of a super computer, which shocked everyone on the defense line. But where no one noticed, Chen Xinyan's eyebrows wrinkled deeper and deeper, gradually twisting into a knot.
"Coordinates 056 and 090, a black corpse of a single ghost monkey, estimated to be level 2."
"Coordinates 030 and 025, two poisonous black corpses."
"076, 040, one second-level gorilla. 076, 045, one poisoned."
"048, 030, three second-order ghost monkeys."
"050, 035, five first-order ghost monkeys."
Seeing Chen Xinyan stop, Fu Lianhe hurriedly said: "Dean, do you want to take a rest?"
But the other party suddenly opened his eyes, with hesitation in his eyes. She looked up at Fu Lianhe, as if asking him: "Why are there so many ghost monkeys?"
Fu Lianhe was confused: "What? What's wrong?"
At this time, Chen Hui from the Edge Defense Line also sent back a message: "Headquarters, the sniper team found many poisonous black corpses, mixed with some wild orangutans for some unknown reason."
Only then did Chen Xinyan suddenly realize: "It's broken! Quickly notify the combat squads to guard the city wall!"
"Dean, what did you find?"
"Take a snapshot! Let everyone focus on the area under the city wall first!"
"yes!"
Before the order could be issued, there was a sudden "pop" sound, and a searchlight on the Dongyi Leng border defense line was accidentally hit by a bone spur. Without the lights, this line of defense suddenly fell into darkness.
"What's going on? Why are the lights dark?"
"We can't see down there!"
"Don't you have a spare headlight? Change the light quickly."
"Ah!" A blood-curdling scream sounded in the dark night.
At this time, the backup searchlight had been turned on, but after the lighting was restored, the defenders on the east first line of defense were stunned. In front of their eyes, a special black corpse with an extremely long and narrow body was biting the victim's neck, and its two sickle-like claws were clawing around, scratching his stomach to pieces.
"Second-level ghost monkey——"
"Ah!" "There are them here too!" "Ghost monkeys, so many ghost monkeys!"
No one thought that there were a large number of special speed black corpses "Ghost Monkeys" hidden among the corpses that attacked the city wall. From the early stage of the first stage to the late stage of the second stage, there were so many ghost monkeys appearing here at the same time, as if the entire corpse group had gathered here.
Compared with ordinary black corpses, these ghost monkeys are faster and have stronger forelimbs. They can almost effortlessly climb the city wall that ordinary black corpses cannot climb all night. After they climbed onto the city wall, they immediately went on a killing spree. Some knocked over the nearby soldiers and stopped to feast. Others were like wild wolves that broke into the sheep and killed them wantonly, knocking down the soldiers in front of them one by one. Among them are some second-level ghost monkeys with longer and narrower bodies and stronger forelimbs. Without more than ten people focusing their fire at the same time, it is impossible to stop them.
The second-level ghost monkeys rely on their higher level of evolution to cut off ordinary evolvers with one claw. Some were even bitten on the shoulder and then thrown from the city wall to death. The ghost monkey black zombies attacked the city wall, causing chaos in the entire defense line. After losing the counterattack, more special black zombies and ordinary black zombies took the opportunity to climb up the city wall. This seems to be a vicious cycle. Unless the human side can come up with a decisive move to turn defeat into victory, failure is certain.
"Yang Xiaoxiao, when will your people join the war?"
In the temporary command room, Yang Xiaoxiao faced Chen Xinyan's question and said disapprovingly: "What are you talking about, my Dean Chen? They have been 'participating in the war'. Besides, Brother Lang Hua is not here. If I don't send someone to deal with those abilities They are under strict supervision, who knows if they will do some tricks?"
Chen Xinyan's eyebrows wrinkled: "What time has this happened? I need everyone to join the battle."
"Okay, that's as you wish." Yang Xiaoxiao waved her hands nonchalantly, "But you know, it's just a drop in the bucket."
She then held the headset and said a code. Then some strange people suddenly appeared on the defense lines everywhere. They were obviously wearing the clothes of ordinary soldiers, but their fighting methods were very clean and neat. They generally hold a pair of daggers, and when two people attack together, they can knock down a ghost monkey and finish it off with a single blow in a few rounds.
These people are not many in number, only more than thirty at most, and they were previously scattered and hidden in various defense lines. However, because the method he used was extremely sharp and almost impossible to prevent, Wu Ke, Xing Wutian and others were shocked and looked horrified.
The crowd was excited for a while. "Kill! Take back the city wall position!" "Drive them down!"
At this life-and-death moment, not only the shadow guards and ordinary people were fighting hard, but the ability users guarding the defense lines no longer grudged their crystal energy and started attacking one after another. Someone used the meteor hammer to dance into the wind, and smashed a first-order ghost monkey off the city wall with one stroke. Someone used a steel javelin and shot through the black corpse's eye socket. There was also an extremely powerful man who held up a wooden shield and turned into an angry rhinoceros, directly knocking back several black corpses who had just climbed up the city wall...
With all this going on, the ability users took the cold weapons issued by Langya City and threw themselves into close combat. In order to avoid accidental damage, ordinary evolvers would retreat to the rear to provide fire support. Even Sanxi picked up a magnetic energy gun and participated in the counterattack, and together with another ability user with petrified skin, they killed a late-stage first-order ghost monkey.
When people were fighting and getting carried away, suddenly something round flew up to the top of the city. Out of fear, the soldier closest to him raised his gun and aimed directly.
"What is this? Go to hell!"
"No, don't shoot!" Lin Wenjin wanted to stop him, but he couldn't move faster than the opponent's bullet.
"Ta." "Pa!"
The round leather ball exploded in the air, and at the same time some of its thick, sour-smelling contents flew around, splashing on several nearby warriors.
"Ah——" "What is this, my eyes..." "The corrosive mucus is a poisonous explosion! The poisonous explosion flew up the wall!"
But it is impossible for the poisonous black corpse to fly. Not only poisonous explosions, but all currently known types of special senses are unable to fly.
"Calm down! It wasn't Fei, it was the gorilla who threw the poison blast onto the wall. We must focus our fire on the gorilla under the wall immediately!"
"The rockets are gone."
"Use as many grenades as you have!"
Chen Hui's worries came true. The poisonous black corpse is so bloated that even if it reaches the defense line, it is impossible to climb the city wall. Unless the Corpse King didn't want the poisonous black zombies to attack the city at all, and just regarded them as disposable acid bombs!
The second-level gorilla has amazing arm strength, making it the best choice as a trebuchet. At this time, poisonous explosions were constantly being thrown into the wall by the gorilla. After they landed, they chased the defenders nearby, but people did not dare to shoot easily this time. Surrounded by comrades, shooting would injure innocent people, but Poison was closing in on him step by step. When the soldiers were unable to retreat, the poison explosion finally exploded itself. Amidst the horrified screams of the soldiers, no one except a few shield soldiers survived.
The offensive of the Poison Explosive Black Corpses intensified the chaos on the defense line, especially the three bastions located in the front, which were "taken care of" under the siege of the Black Corpses. After a large number of ghost monkeys and Poison Explosion attacks, the bastion defense line was halfway up. There were heavy casualties within hours. Although the grenades thrown by people before were effective, the bastion defense line at this time could no longer organize an organized counterattack. Crazy apes and ghost monkeys gathered under the bastion wall, and there were countless black corpses with shields and bone spurs staring at them. The war had become one-sided.
Duan Hei used a wind blade to blow a poisonous creature that had attacked the city wall in half, and then used a wind curtain to wrap the deadly acid and send it down the city wall. Not just ordinary soldiers, even their ability users have no way of dealing with this kind of acid at this stage. After the poisonous black zombies joined the siege, Duan Hei's actions became even more constrained.
Lin Wenjin is a person with both metal and fire abilities in the late second level, and possesses the treasure "Sun Shooting Bow". His actual combat power is close to that of the third level. He is undoubtedly the strongest among the members guarding the fortress. But even he had to stay away from the current craze of black corpses.
Among these three bastions, the situation of No. 2 bastion is particularly critical, and for some reason the resistance is very weak.
Fu Lianhe hurriedly called on the communicator: "Fortress No. 2, how are you doing?"
"Command, command, please support! We encountered a third-level ghost monkey. If we don't come, everyone will die!"
"What's going on? Where is Cao Liang? Where is your President Cao?"
"I don't know, it disappeared at night."
Missing? Did you run away early? How can a bastion without capable people garrison deal with a third-level ghost monkey?
Fu Lianhe was shocked when he heard this and didn't know how to react. The scene that comes to mind is a monster with sharp teeth and claws walking wantonly among the crowd, causing waves of blood...
At this point, Yang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to walk up to him with arms folded and said bluntly: "The bastion is surrounded by enemies on three sides and has no edge support. I think there is no need to guard it."
The latter looked at Chen Xinyan and when she saw her nodding, he immediately grabbed the communicator and shouted an order: "Attention everyone! Abandon the bastion and gather everyone's strength to defend the edge defense line!"
After putting down the communicator, Fu Lianhe clenched his fists tightly. They still have hope. As long as they can hold the edge and the zombies cannot attack the city, they will not be considered a failure!
A reply came quickly from Lin Wenjin on the other side: "Don't leave any more backups. The traps on the defense line outside the city are fully activated to cover the retreat of the three parties. If we can't survive this attack, we will all have to finish it!"
Chen Hui also said: "Yes, fully activated. If you can delay it for one second, delay it for one second, do you understand?"
"I understand." Fu Lianhe gritted his teeth and slapped his palm heavily on a red button on the podium.
This was the strongest trap they had left when building the outer city defense line. Forty percent of the explosives captured in the Battle of Nata Mountain were buried in the soil between the first and second lines of defense.
After the three-second delay, the mine bombs hidden outside the outer city's defense lines continued to detonate. People stood on top of the wall and watched large amounts of gunpowder blooming everywhere in the center of the corpse tide, like firecrackers exploding in an ant pile. The corpse group was hit by explosions and flames, falling into brief chaos, and the frequency of subsequent zombie group attacks also slowed down.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Wenjin covered the people's retreat and returned to the city along the passage connecting the bastion and the edge defense line. While shooting arrows, he shot down one after another special senses that had climbed to the top of the city. The Noble Phantasm "Sun Shooting Divine Bow" shone brightly under Lin Wenjin's full force. Feather arrows with fire energy were shot out rapidly. Each arrow hit a special eye socket. Even the middle-level second-level Even the ghost monkey is not his enemy with one move.
