The operation to exterminate the remaining corpse tide was carried out with great momentum, and it did not gradually come to an end until the sky was getting dark.
As the sun sets, the warm orange light touches the ruins of Fengwei Mountain for the last time. Looking up from the ground, the dark blue sky is high and the wind is blowing. A dark gray Osprey helicopter is flying from the direction of Dongshan. The crew in the cabin sticks their heads out into the wind, and their eyes are patrolling back and forth on the defense line. Finally, Then he waved to the city wall.
At this moment, Lang Hua was standing on the city wall staring at it. After a while, he didn't know what he found. He suddenly got up and jumped off the city wall, running recklessly towards the place where the helicopter landed outside the city.
There, a girl got out of the cabin of the stopped plane. In the last battle, many black corpses were stranded in the huge outer city area, and until now there were still sparse battles. Lang Hua and she ran towards each other, passing through the flames of war, crossing the devastated streets, and finally hugged each other tightly in the middle of the spacious road in the outer city.
"How did you come?"
"I thought I would never see you again." The girl suddenly sobbed, "Do you know, do you know that I am so scared..."
"I'm sorry for making you so worried."
Looking at the crying girl in his arms, Lang Hua suddenly felt emotional. In his hazy vision, there seemed to be two figures from the past and present slowly overlapping. His lips trembled, he seemed to be crying and laughing, and it seemed that he couldn't even control his tone: "Xiao Wen, it's so good to see you again..."
"Why, why..." Qin Xiaowen raised her head with red eyes, raised her pink fist and hit the opponent's chest again and again, "Why don't you run. I know that as long as you want to leave, this tide of corpses will never stop. I can’t stop you…”
"I……"
Lang Hua was full of thoughts for a while. What could he say? Did he want to tell her that he had escaped countless times in his previous life, and this time he had already put his own life and death at risk? Or should he tell her that he has heavy responsibilities in this life and has no room to retreat?
No, this is not what you should say at this time. Besides, what can I do if I say it? The one you love is already worried about her, so why make her worry more...
Thinking of this, Lang Hua lowered his head and looked over, his uneasy eyes meeting Qin Xiaowen's firm eyes.
Qin Xiaowen didn't know where the courage came from. At that moment, she hugged the other person's neck, stood on tiptoes, and bit Lang Hua's lips.
Between the lips, there is bitterness, pain, a warm touch, and an unchanging and unswerving persistence across two lives.
At this moment, all anxiety disappeared. Lang Hua couldn't help but put his arms around the other person's slender waist, and hugged this soft and soft person into his arms.
I don’t know how long it took, and it seemed that the world around me was silent, until someone asked in a bad tone:
"Hey, how long do you want to hold me?"
Looking again, many people had gathered around, including the Qin family's father and son, Xia Qing, Xia Shuang, and people from Langya City.
In the middle of the crowd, Yang Xiaoxiao, who had just recovered from trauma, had white lips. She looked at the two of them with a cane, her expression of shame and anger mixed with murderous eyes: "In front of this minor, could you please restrain yourself..."
"ah……"
Only then did the two of them react and hurriedly separated. Qin Xiaowen's face turned red and she hurriedly got behind Xia Shuang and hid.
Li Liping and Lin Qian looked at each other and laughed in unison. They had known that Qin Xiaowen had been close to Lang Hua during their stay in Langya City, but they did not expect that their relationship would heat up so quickly.
Looking at Qin Xiaowen who had her head lowered as if she had done something wrong, Qin's father smiled and joked: "Why is this girl so impatient? It turns out she wants to meet City Master Lang."
"Dad, what did you say..."
Lang Hua had met each other before. Because of Qin Xiaowen and the Natashan scientific research base, the two met many times. But this was probably the first time the two met each other in this life.
Thinking of this, Lang Huagong cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Qin, this is the first time I've met, so I'm disappointed. On behalf of all the survivors of Langya City, I would like to thank your base for your assistance this time..."
…
Compared with the artillery fire on the northern slope of Fengwei Mountain, Nanshan, which is separated from Langya City by a river of water, is very quiet at the moment.
Suddenly there was a buzzing sound, a drone slowly fell from high altitude, and several white "snowdrifts" moved in the mountain col.
"Snowdrift" took the drone, silently returned to its original position, and whispered to another nearby "Snowdrift": "The equipment has been recovered."
Suddenly there was a commotion in the snow, and Fang could see that there were more than a thousand fully armed evolvers hiding in the mountain col. Wearing plain white coats, they perfectly hid their whereabouts in the snow. The word "Gu" was embroidered on each of their clothes.
"The ones that flew over before were indeed the Qin family's fighter jets, as well as the previous batch of Ospreys. I think there were quite a few of them."
"Lan Yingjun is also here. It seems that Old Man Yang attaches great importance to this city." In the center of the crowd, under the hood was a stern middle-aged face. It turned out to be Gu Cheng, whom Lang Hua had met once.
Gu Cheng thought about it and asked casually: "How many people escaped last night?"
"None of them." His subordinates replied honestly. "The dozen or so men in black who followed us were all strong men. The hundreds of people who were unarmed were all chased to death..."
"What a boy, he's much better than I was back then."
"Master, are we still going?" the man asked again.
"No need, let's retreat." Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "There is no need for the Gu family to add glory to a small power."
He waved, and more than a thousand people spontaneously formed a formation and retreated southward behind him.
They came quietly and left quietly without attracting anyone's attention.
…
On the night after the decisive battle, the news of Langya City's victory spread like wildfire, and soon spread to every corner of the world via the global satellite communication network Teledesic II.
This world-wide first-ever battle involving millions of human corpses has touched the hearts and minds of countless people from the moment it began. For various purposes, many forces from all over the world are working hard to find out the news here, and everyone is setting their sights here. Therefore, as soon as the news leaked out, the post revealing the details of the battle was wildly forwarded on the FS forum, and soon became the number one hot spot.
The next day, the Military Control Commission of the coalition government took advantage of the situation and issued the "Order No. 1 of the First Year of the Disaster Calendar", calling on all mankind to unite and overcome the difficulties together. Starting with the siege of Fengwei Mountain, the war between humans and black zombies has since entered a new stage relying on base defense.
Section 2
The battle is over, but life is far from over for the people of Wolf Cliff City.
According to post-war statistics, the number of people who died in this shocking battle was close to 6,000, including more than 100 people from the Qinchuan Base and the Southern Qi Military Region. The remains of the war dead had been collected as soon as possible. With a heavy heart, people found familiar faces from the piles of hundreds of thousands of corpses, and then transported them to the Heroes Cemetery in the back mountain for burial.
Not all the dead could be found in the end. Until the sun set on the second day after the war, people only found more than a thousand unrecognizable corpses. More people had already died in the tide of corpses, leaving only broken limbs. The broken arm has been mixed with the body of the black corpse, making no distinction between you and me.
In the middle of winter, corpses should decompose more slowly. However, since the black fog broke out, global changes have occurred, and the survivability of bacteria seems to have become stronger. As soon as the midday sun hit, many of the still intact corpses swelled like rubber balls, and the entire outer city exuded a disgusting smell of decay. People had no choice but to wrap towels in front of their mouths and noses, but they still couldn't help but burst into tears from the smell.
If cleaning the battlefield is a hard and tiring job, then the people of Langya City are feeling pain and happiness at the same time. For three days in a row, the citizens of Langya City, who had recovered from the battle, and the soldiers of Nanqi City and Qinchuan Base who came to help at the last moment, all devoted themselves to the "general cleaning" operation.
Cleaning the battlefield is the exclusive right of the winner, and the loser will be used as the final trophy to help people move further on the road of evolution.
Compared to mutant beasts, the usable parts of a necromorph's body are pitifully small. Faced with these creatures that look very similar to themselves, people are very resistant to dissecting corpses and harvesting materials. They just take out the remaining crystal cores from their bodies and go elsewhere.
In addition to collecting the bodies of companions, collecting crystal nuclei has become the top priority at the moment. Because the energy of the crystal core originates from the black mist and comes from space, if it is left alone in the corpse, the energy will completely escape after up to 72 hours and become a useless stone.
So people worked hard to dig out all the black corpse crystal cores that could still be used before the end of the third day. Now they are being sent to the research institute in the back mountain for cryogenic preservation. Also sent over were dozens of still intact special-sense corpses, which will be used for subsequent research. Lang Hua has promised to share these research materials with Nan Qi and Qinchuan.
Looking down from the platform at the top of Fengwei Mountain, I saw that the dark crowd was naturally divided into three groups.
People from the Southern Qi Military Region and the Qinchuan Base dealt with the black corpses all over the mountains and plains in the east and west directions of the outer city. These were some of the corpses that died in the artillery attack. To be honest, they should be regarded as their trophies. However, due to the lack of storage facilities, the two parties could only store nearly 100,000 crystal nuclei in Langya City. Some carefully selected zombie materials were also stored in low-temperature storage cabinets, waiting for the next dispatch of personnel from the two bases. Come and pick it up.
In the last days, land and water transportation was almost paralyzed, and the cost of air transportation was too high, so not many people came from Southern Qi and Qinchuan. The number of the two teams was only one-fifth of the people in Langya City, but they were soldiers after all, and were used to orders and prohibitions, so the dissection movements were clean and neat, and the speed alone was not much slower than that of the people in Langya City.
The largest group of people among the three groups is the surviving evolvers of Langya City, with a total of more than 2,000 people. They began to spread out radially from the inner city gate, sparing no effort to clean up the land contaminated by the rotting flesh and smelly blood of the black corpses.
Many people pushed the carts and carried countless fragmented black corpses into the carts, and then transferred them to an open space northwest of the outer city and burned them. A deep pit thirty meters square has been dug here, and corpses have been poured into the pit continuously. It is now nearly half full to the naked eye.
In the battle at Fengwei Mountain, the two corpse kings gathered nearly a million black corpses, but they destroyed all these living forces in front of the Langya City defense line. Just three days before the war began, the total number of black corpses dropped by 400,000, at the expense of half of the survivors of Wolf Cliff City and the Star Castle defense line that was beyond recognition. After the team returned and reinforcements arrived, artillery and bombing took away the lives of nearly 300,000 black corpses. People bravely launched a wave of counterattack, thus avoiding the destruction of the city and the death of people.
Low-level black zombies react strongly to flames and noises, and there is basically no chance of escaping from battle. On the contrary, at the end of the battle, many low-level black corpses were like moths flying to a flame, rushing towards the center of the battlefield where the bombing and fire were the most intense, and never came back.
But even so, facing a base of nearly one million black corpses, there were still some fish that slipped through the net after the battle, scattered in every corner of the jungle for various reasons.
These guys who may threaten the personal safety of the residents of Langya City are hidden dangers that need to be eliminated urgently. In this regard, the city lord's palace dispatched all capable ability users to conduct an investigation. Several elite teams from the Southern Qi Military Region and Qinchuan Base were also happily invited to join the search team.
At this time, seven or eight hunting teams were scattered among the hills to the north of the jungle. They are usually led by one or two ability users, paired with five or six smart and capable evolvers.
This is the only way from Shashi to Fengwei Mountain. In the past three days, they waited and eliminated many black corpses, among which there were some second- and third-order special effects. In the apocalypse, crystal cores are the most valuable hard currency. Turning in crystal cores can not only be exchanged for military merit in the logistics department, but also earn a lot of points that can be used to purchase weapons, equipment and even medicines sold by the base.
It is said that in order to encourage people to clean up the remaining black corpses, the city lord's palace is even willing to sell precious awakening potions! People's enthusiasm is even higher when they think that they can awaken their abilities and become a privileged class.
