The sky was getting brighter, and the morning light shone on the ground of Langya City, reflecting a messy scene.
There were still sparse gunshots in the distance. There was the inner city wall of the base. On the wall, there was a mass of dark figures, some of them alive, and some of them black corpses.
As early as half an hour ago, most people had run out of bullets. Now people are fighting with simple swords and shields against the black corpses climbing up the city. The death toll in the chaos has skyrocketed.
At this time, accompanied by rumbling sounds, a group of gray Osprey helicopters appeared in the east of the city. These guys have a four-bladed titanium-fiberglass main rotor as the onboard power system, and are driven by two turbine engines. The maximum speed is close to 260 kilometers per hour, and they quickly approached the inner city defense line.
"Who are they?" Everyone in Langya City was confused during the battle, but they did not dare to think too much at this critical moment of life and death.
Some people recognized the names of these aircraft: "Osprey helicopter group? They are the Qin family's Purple Feather Special Warfare Corps."
Sure enough, I heard the announcement from the captain's aircraft - "The flight formation from Qinchuan Base is coming for reinforcements, number 87210, requesting access to communications. Repeat, Qinchuan Base..."
The Ministry of Information also responded on the loudspeaker: "Short-range wireless communication access permission, VHF frequency 122.500, VHF preset #11."
Soon the voice of the captain of the lead aircraft appeared on the communication channel: "The connection has been completed. I am Colonel Lei Ming, requesting ground airborne support and artillery guidance."
"Qinchuan fleet, this is Chen Xinyan of Langya City in Fengwei Mountain." She stared intently at the movements of the corpse tide outside the city, and responded quickly, "There is an artificial square fifty meters into the city for landing. Suggested rappel points. For the rooftop platforms of the four towers at the head of the city, we will provide fire cover for these coordinates."
"Chen Hui and Xing Wutian, I order you two to concentrate your superior forces to ensure that the tower is not invaded by black corpses."
"Make sure to complete the mission."
"We have no personnel stranded in the outer city for the time being. Please Qinchuan's crew to carry out free fire strikes and give priority to eliminating the groups of specially infected zombies. Langya City will cooperate in continuing to search for high-value targets in the zombie tide."
"Thunder received. After a round of missile ejection, it will perform a conventional descent and enter ultra-low altitude flight within one minute. Three, two, one, launch."
"Buzz buzz." "Brush——"
At this moment, the Black Hawk helicopters hovering over the inner city opened fire on the corpse tide in the outer city.
Each helicopter fired two conventional AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, pulling white tail flames towards the arms of the black corpse, and went straight into the group of corpses on the ground.
With a bang, there were explosions in the tide of corpses. First there was a blazing white fire, and then an orange-red explosive air mass immediately appeared. Thick black smoke lingered in the air mass, twisting like the blood vessels of a demon.
A third of a second later, a more violent explosion occurred. The rapidly expanding gunpowder smoke completely engulfed the flames. Countless rubble was sprayed out along the edge of the explosion. A gray-white mushroom cloud rose up, isolating the area within fifty meters of the explosion point. Sight.
Then there is a helicopter carrying a 19-unit 70mm rocket launcher nest, which looks like an enlarged version of a honeycomb. The rockets look like sharpened and truncated pencil heads. They are usually mainly used to attack ground mobile armored targets. Generally only mid- to late-stage second-order gorilla and shield armor are as fragile as paper in front of it.
Continuous explosions triggered a chain reaction in the corpse tide, which at this moment was like dumplings that had boiled. The outer city became a mess in a very short period of time, and the land in the area hit by rockets looked like it had been plowed. As the ground shook and the mountains shook, not only did the evolvers on the city wall lose their footing and fell down one after another, but the black corpses that were climbing up the city wall even rolled down the corpse wall without falling to the ground.
At the same time as the fire strikes, each helicopter has taken turns to start rappelling the crew. In the end, except for the four crew members who remained in the cabin, all the remaining 11 soldiers came out of the cabin and came to the city wall defense line. Wearing all-black combat uniforms, they formed a group of five assault teams upon landing and started fighting against the black corpses that had climbed up the city wall.
Many of the evolvers in Langya City were still fighting with the black corpse, but suddenly a group of people came over to grab their heads. Not only did they have powerful firepower, but their marksmanship was extremely accurate. Every bullet was aimed at the fatal part of the black corpse, beating the black corpse to pieces in minutes.
"Brothers, are you from Qin Chuan?"
"Yes. This pistol is for you. The first priority is to reorganize the defense together."
Every five of the 300 special forces members who landed on the city wall were equipped with an M4 recoilless rifle. This squad gun is lighter and shorter than a rocket launcher and can be operated by a single person. Moreover, it is also a multi-purpose launcher. A barrel can be used to fire armor-piercing bombs and cloud burst bombs. The "Purple Feather" special battle group will use this to build class counterattack positions one after another at the top of the city.
Behind the city wall, two transport planes have landed safely in the city square. More than 30 heavily armed special operations team members were unloading some machine guns, rifles and boxes of ammunition from the plane and gradually transferring them to the city wall.
People borrow the power of guns, and guns strengthen people's courage! With new equipment and assistance, the fighting spirit of the surviving Wolf Cliff City evolvers burned like a blazing flame at this moment.
…
Lang Hua, who was on the front line, immediately learned about the Qin family's arrival.
In his impression, although the Qin family has a strong army, it is famous for "never doing loss-making business" and rarely takes the initiative to lend a helping hand to other forces in the thirteen years of the last days. I wonder what benefits you see in Langya City or yourself this time?
"Xiaohua, the resistance we encounter is increasing."
In the front right of the team, Lin Wenjin threw a fireball and knocked down a second-level ghost monkey that wanted to attack by surprise, and issued a warning in a deep voice.
"Double the weight!"
The cloak hammer cooperated with the team members to repel a second-level gorilla. At this time, the old strength was gone and the new strength was not yet reborn, but he was almost bitten on the arm by a ghost monkey that rushed towards him.
At the critical moment, it was Li Yishan who slapped Ghost Monkey on the cheek bone with a knife, saving Cloak Hammer's life.
"It's your uncle's." "Captain, are you okay?" "I'm okay. Fortunately, Captain Li took action."
As time went by, the forward speed of the esper team dropped again and again. The number of people is large, the target is large, and the speeds of different ability users are also different. If this continues, I am afraid that the ability users will be surrounded before they can reach the corpse king.
"Chief, what should we do? This won't work."
Lang Hua thought for a while and said: "We will benefit from cooperation. You join the Lan Ying army. Leave the Corpse King to me and Lin Hong."
Originally, he wanted to concentrate his superior forces to catch the Corpse King off guard, but he didn't expect that this guy's perception was outrageously strong.
These people were exposed too early, and they were too numerous to lose. Now in front of the team is a dense group of special-sense zombies. Perhaps even if everyone's crystal energy is exhausted, they may not be able to attack the corpse king today.
Dismissing ability users in advance is no longer an option. Lang Hua only hoped that with a small number of people, he could pass through the zombie tide faster, so that this plan would not be in vain.
"Little man, why do you always think of me when you need me?"
Lin Hong said playful words, but her men cut a shield in half very ferociously.
Lang Hua still hasn't been able to figure out this person's attitude towards him. When traveling with such people, even Lang Hua must be careful not to get stabbed in the back.
Thinking of this, Lang Hua responded with a cold look: "I'm very fast and I won't wait for you."
…
"Uncle Lin, come this way!"
"Qi Yu, please pay attention in the sky."
"Look at me, bull rush!"
"Maimang! Sun-shooting bow."
Under the leadership of Duan Hei and the feathered ability users, the ability users finally successfully reunited with the Lan Ying army. After approaching these soldiers, the ability users discovered that they were all ordinary evolved people. But despite this, these warriors cooperated skillfully and advanced and retreated in an orderly manner under the successive attacks of the corpse group. If they had not only numbered two hundred, they might have been attacking and defending the aliens by now.
"Friends from Langya City, come here quickly."
"Covering fire!"
In the circle dominated by the blue British army, the ability users got a short rest. During this period, some black zombies tried to break through the defense line. Whether they were special or ordinary black zombies, they were all shot in the head by the soldiers. The black corpse's body fell down and became part of the trench that was getting higher and higher.
The lightly-armed Blue British Army has limited ammunition and cannot continue to consume the corpses here. Liu Ben, the second battalion commander who led the team this time, was very active and decided to attack instead of defend.
"Grenade clears the way, let's go up that hillside."
"Third squad leader, ask your people to guard the left side. Corpse poison is a deadly thing. We must not let a black corpse in!"
"Lao Liu, take a few people to the rear and use high explosives if necessary."
"Everyone else, get on your feet and let's go!"
"yes!"
Surrounded by Lan Ying's officers and soldiers, the ability users who were still in the recovery period had almost no room for use. Because the soldiers of the Blue British Army could hit the vital points of the black corpse with their rifles, even the most ordinary rifle was as good as a magical weapon in their hands.
People were surprised to find that these soldiers always grasped the timing of shooting perfectly, as if they could predict in advance where the black corpse would appear. And they never care about their backs. Everyone concentrates on guarding the area they are responsible for, like a tightly fitted cornerstone, turning the two-hundred-person assault force into an indestructible steel fortress.
And whether it is adaptability or individual combat literacy, these people are also superior. Compared with ability users who have only received simple military training, they are simply as good as heaven and earth. Even if the ability users don't take action from the beginning to the end, these people can still handle it completely.
As a result, the ability users were convinced. They had long heard that the Lanying Special Forces were the trump card of the Southern Qi Legion. Everyone who can be among them is a multi-talented special operations soldier, a super soldier who has maintained many of the best results in regional competitions for a long time. There are even rumors that before joining the army, most of the officers in the Blue British Army were still one of the best in the world at the martial arts level!
In this reborn world, only Lang Hua knows the most glorious record of Lan Yingjun. They have used their mortal bodies to turn the tide, and have repeatedly completed tasks that the outside world thought were impossible. They often tortured the special sense as non-ability users, and even defeated the thirteen cities of the Black Blood Altar in seven days.
Once upon a time, Lang Hua was one of them, and he was the closest partner with these people. In fact, until General Yang was assassinated, the Blue British Army was still the strongest assault force in the entire Central Plains region.
"When the blue British go to war, who can compete with them?" This was a slogan that every blue British soldier kept in mind during that period.
"When we arrived, we built the fortifications right here."
"Headquarters, the Second Battalion of Lan Ying requested artillery fire. Our battalion coordinates are 7701-3582. Please avoid this place for indiscriminate fire coverage."
"Zizi... The headquarters has received it, and three rounds of volleys are being prepared."
"Boom boom boom——"
At this time, the artillery positions that Yang Jianye had arranged in advance on the reverse slope of Xishan began to exert force. The 54th Group Army is equipped with a large number of 122mm ultra-light howitzers, which are convenient for mountain transportation. With the assistance of automatic loaders, the loading speed is faster than the traditional 105 cannon.
In the apocalyptic era against black corpses, artillery is not afraid of exposing coordinates. Ten kilometers apart, each howitzer drew a beautiful parabola and fell into the tide of corpses, practicing carpet bombing, with the momentum of not giving up until all the shells were fired.
"Artillery Battalion! Assess the consumption and results for me."
"Captain, the artillery offensive can still last ten minutes. The middle part of the zombie wave has suffered considerable casualties, but some of the zombies are tenacious and survived the continuous bombardment even though they were injured."
"What's the use if you can't kill them!" Yang Zhenghua's mind raced, "Lengthen the interval between bombardments and don't fire when these monsters can't get up."
"Submonish Second Battalion Commander Liu Ben and tell him to quickly organize a breakout. For now, the only way is to retreat to the city wall defense line and fight a war of attrition with the black corpses."
"yes!"
Not only Yang Zhenghua, but also Lang Hua, who was heading deeper behind the group of corpses, also thought about this problem.
Now that Fengwei Mountain is supported by the Lanying Army on the front line and the Qinchuan Army is taking action in the rear, self-protection seems to be no problem at first glance. But Lang Hua knew that all this was only temporary. As long as he did not capture the Corpse King for a moment, the zombie tide's counterattack would only become more fierce.
Because the Yang and Qin families are unable to bring all the large troops over due to the distance, our numbers will not be dominant, and a protracted war of attrition will be very detrimental to the human side.
The Corpse King on the other side seemed to have a premonition of Lang Hua's approach, so he roared and issued another command. The black corpse on the hillside of the outer city seemed to have gone crazy, with a blood-red glare in its eyes, and it just kept approaching people.
A ghost monkey rushed in front of him, but by chance, Lang Hua stabbed his throat with the tip of a knife. It also wanted to open its mouth and bite Lang Hua, but was punched in the head by the latter. Wherever there was the first one, there was the second one, and more special sensations stood in front of the two of them. Some of them were blocked by themselves, and some were thrown by the gorilla in the distance.
The giant red-ink ax frequently reflected a blood-red glow. Every time Lin Hong hit a black corpse with a blow, a ray of energy would be transmitted back to his body through the ax blade and handle. With this feedback energy, Lin Hong became even more ferocious. All the black corpses that rushed in front of her and Lang Hua were chopped off with her ax without discrimination.
At this moment, a second-level poisonous explosion with an extremely large belly fell from the sky and landed behind Lin Hong. The poison blast fell to the ground, seemingly crippled by the fall, but looking at its belly swollen like ripples, it was about to explode.
"Be careful." In desperation, Lang Hua had no choice but to grab the opponent's wrist and pull him towards him, "Re-engraving - water shield protection!"
In response to venom-type attacks, water-based skills can dilute the poison while defending, and are more durable than physical protective shields in actual combat.
A "sizzling" sound was heard immediately, and the yellow-green corrosive pus was isolated by the flowing water shield and did not touch the bodies of the two people. Lang Hua quickly gave up the contaminated water shield and pulled Lin Hong to break out in another direction.
After just a short delay, two level four gorillas appeared nearby, and Lang Hua didn't want to be stopped by them to waste time.
The crazy black corpses were attacking regardless of life and death, sometimes even without distinguishing between friend and foe. A ghost monkey chopped off the head of an ordinary black corpse close to Lang Hua, and then was beaten into a puddle of mud by two wild apes. . It can be seen from here that the control of the Corpse King has reached the limit. The closer to the Corpse King and the lower the level of the black corpse, the crazier it becomes.
At this time, two other lines of defense were also affected. The crazy orangutan who lost his mind repeated his old tricks, grabbing everything he could grab and throwing it towards the battle circle where Lan Ying's army was.
After being attacked by special forces after landing, the Blue British Army suffered casualties for the first time.
There was no danger to defend on the hillside. In order to avoid being dumped by the corpses, Liu Ben and Lin Wenjin began to lead people to break out. However, the cost of taking the initiative was much heavier. Many soldiers were unable to dodge. The ghost monkeys hidden among the ordinary black corpses The claw pierced the chest.
There are more and more black corpses in front of the inner city defense line, stopping to eat the corpses during the battle, which shows that the control of the corpse king over the distant zombies is weakening. The necromorphs will largely follow their instincts to fight, and people will be less stressed.
On the front line of the battle, the people were overwhelmed by the violent attack of the black corpses, but during the battle, Lang Hua suddenly felt blessed and turned his head to look at a hillside to the east of the corpse tide.
The crystal core field has its own passive effect of "field awareness". Regarding the changes in black mist energy, Lang Hua is ten times more sensitive than others under the same circumstances!
As far as the eye can see, a strange cyclone appears in the thin black mist of spores. The vortex rotates clockwise, causing several thick cantilevered arms to appear in the surrounding black mist energy. As time goes by, the concentration of the black fog in the center gradually increases, gradually becoming pitch black, like an abyss with no bottom, attracting everyone's attention.
Just when people realized that something was wrong, and the black corpse became more and more violent under this wave of fluctuations, and gradually reached the limit, a dazzling bright light suddenly lit up in the center of the cyclone, and a group of humanoid creatures loomed in the light curtain. I don’t know what it was. appeared at the time.
The bright light is enough to cause temporary blindness, and both necromorphs and humans are almost blinded if they are caught off guard.
Lin Wenjin, who was depressed, jumped to his feet and yelled: "Oh my god, weird things happen every year, especially this year. Look what's falling into that black hole."
He stood on the hillside and raised his hands to shield himself from the bright light, looking out along the gaps between his fingers. This look was nothing, but it almost made his jaw drop.
"Wait a minute, isn't that Brother Sheng?"
After the bright light, I saw a group of familiar faces, wearing the combat uniforms of Langya City. The leaders were Yang Bensheng and Li Liping.
Lin Wenjin's eyes widened for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face: "My darling, you are really amazing. When did you do magic tricks when you gave birth to a brother?"
