In the golden autumn of September, the traces left by the scorching heat in the south have not yet dissipated.
At this time, along the river, the breeze was gentle and gentle, and the sky was clear and blue.
White clouds floated high in the sky, and the autumn wind blew microwaves like fish scales on the surface of the river.
There is a 1,600-meter-long cross-river bridge on the river, and two cable towers over 100 meters high stand in the river.
The lowest end of the cable tower is a giant pier that goes deep into the water. The upper cable tower uses more than a hundred special steel cables to lift the 20-meter-wide bridge deck in mid-air.
Before Advent Day, this was the most important passage between the two sides of the river. Even in the coldest midnight, there was a constant flow of vehicles passing by on the bridge.
After the disaster, many people wanted to drive across the bridge to escape the city, but they never expected that they encountered serious car accidents and traffic jams when they reached the center of the bridge.
People were unable to advance or retreat, and a group of corpses attacked them. Hundreds of people and vehicles remained on the bridge, forever becoming part of the ruined landscape in the apocalypse.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and several sneaky figures appeared on the cross-river bridge that had been unvisited for a long time.
Wearing khaki camouflage combat uniforms and standard helmets, they carried heavy packages to the center of the bridge.
This group of people were very skilled and flexibly bypassed obstacles such as vehicle debris along the way without attracting the attention of the corpses on the bridge.
There are several ghost monkeys with a keen sense of smell that cannot be bypassed in this process. But before they noticed, several people used daggers to kill them neatly.
After putting down the packages, the people returned the same way, and the river became calm again.
Time passed by, and just as the sun was setting and the fiery red sunset appeared on the river, something unexpected happened.
"Boom, boom..."
A series of shocking loud noises occurred, and several violent explosions occurred in the center of the bridge.
In the billowing smoke, the bridge deck composed of reinforced concrete shattered and collapsed, gradually forming a chain reaction.
Building fragments as big as trucks fell into the river, causing waves to rise to a height of more than ten meters.
One hundred and eighty steel cables connecting the central bridge deck collapsed, and the reaction force caused the two cable towers to teeter and almost collapse.
When the dust and smoke cleared, there were still waves on the river.
Above the turbid river water, I can see this cross-river bridge that is the crystallization of human industry. The three-hundred-meter-long bridge deck in the center has disappeared.
Only jagged concrete stubbles were left at both ends, and steel bars as thick as a thumb protruded from the section, spreading their teeth and claws like tree roots buried deep underground without seeing the light of day.
From this moment on, the channel connecting the two sides of the river disappeared, and the thoroughfare turned into a natural chasm again.
At the same time, there was a group of people on the top of a mountain on the north bank of the river who had been watching for a long time.
They were fully armed and wore uniforms of khaki combat uniforms.
, with the word "Zhao" embroidered on his chest.
And at the front of the crowd, the lean man who was holding a telescope and cheering loudly was none other than Zhao Shifeng, the current head of the Zhao family.
According to later historical records, in the Mid-Autumn Festival of the second year after the disaster, the Zhao family troops stationed in the Jiangbei Plain secretly sent people to sneak into the corpse-infested area by the river in order to protect themselves, and blew up 13 cross-river bridges in one day.
This move caused the corpse tide in the south of the Yangtze River to lose its way to the north. Within a month, tens of millions of mutated black corpses swept across the east and south of the Yangtze River. Starting from the Two Lakes area, wherever the tide of corpses went, there were no humans, animals, or even a blade of grass. As a result, countless evolved creatures died...
Lang Hua learned the news while on the march early the next morning.
For a week, he led five thousand speed evolvers on the road day and night. When the sun came out, he was traveling to the shores of the Grand Canal in Northern Jiangsu.
After departure, Lang Hua's department has been in contact with Fengwei Mountain and the Daxing headquarters of the Self-Government Association.
This message about the Zhao family’s bridge bombing was sent to him by Chu Feng, CEO of the Self-regulatory Commission.
Lang Hua only used two words to comment on the Zhao family's actions.
"idiot."
Duan Hei and Luoyang who were traveling together were shocked when they read the news.
Duan Hei angrily scolded the Zhao family for being selfish and cowardly, while Luoyang was a little worried about the situation on the Jiangnan battlefield.
At this time, Caiyun came over again with a communicator and reported to Lang Hua.
"Deputy City Lord, Executive Director Zhu also sent a message, take a look."
Lin Shanshan followed Caiyun with her little wolf in her arms, looking worried at the moment.
He must have learned something from this message.
These four people were taken away from Xiaoyue Lake by Lang Hua before leaving.
After the wilderness training at Devil's Camp, Luoyang and Lin Shanshan were given awakening potions for their outstanding performance.
The former got his wish and became an ability user, but Lin Shanshan didn't know if her talent was too low, so she didn't have much effect after taking the potion.
Regarding the experience in the prism space, generally speaking, ability users will persist longer than ordinary evolved people, but perhaps Duan Hei and others are still young, so they woke up early in the prism platform.
Thinking that he would need a lot of helpers along the way, when Lang Hua selected the evolvers to accompany him in Shashi, he took them with him.
After taking over the communicator, Lang Hua read it quickly. The content of this subpoena was not much. It was an early warning written in the tone of the CEO of the Self-regulatory Commission.
The general idea is that three days ago, two zombie waves with the same million level suddenly appeared in Nanling and Wuyi.
They took advantage of the empty defenders to break through the city overnight. All three cities fell, and a total of 100,000 soldiers and civilians died tragically in the city.
According to satellite displays, a giant tide of tens of millions of corpses has gathered on the southern shores of the two lakes.
They are marching to Jiangdong in a big way. The Kong family is currently in a critical situation and urgently need reinforcements from Fengweishan and Nanqi to divert to Jiangdong for rescue.
But Lang Hua and the others are
He planned to support the Kong family in Jiangdong, so it was not considered a change of route.
It's just that the Northern Allied Forces, who originally planned to use the northern Hunan route to rush to aid the Wang family, had to take the strategy of going west and detouring to Wushan because of Zhao Shifeng's behavior of blowing up the bridge.
"Sir, what does the letter say?" Duan Hei asked.
"Nothing." Lang Hua shook his head and said, "As we guessed before, the three bases in Nanling and Wuyi have all fallen."
"All?" Luoyang seemed a little shocked when he heard this, "Deputy City Lord, didn't you send a letter to the Zhou family before leaving to inform the Zhou family of the dangers in these two places? It's because they didn't take action, or the rescue couldn't be done..."
Lang Hua sighed: "It was too late. By the time we knew the news, it was already too late."
"At that time, the defenders in the three bases had left for a day and a night, and it was impossible to return the same way."
"When the reinforcements from the Zhou family headquarters arrived at these places, they happened to encounter a wave of corpses that destroyed the city. They were caught off guard and almost got dumped. In desperation, they had to retreat to Zhangzhou first."
When several people heard what Lang Hua said, they were all speechless, not knowing what to say.
Lang Hua sighed secretly when he saw their dejected looks.
This is the most explosive news that he has yet to say.
Although this is just a guess by Cha Feng from the Daxing headquarters of the Self-Administration Society.
Like Lang Hua, Chu Feng also suspected that a great super zombie king might have appeared in the south at this time.
The reason is that the movements of the zombies in the past month seem to be ghostly and uncertain, but in fact they are very organized. It is by no means as simple as the emergence of a smart zombie king or several zombie kings fighting on their own.
Chao Feng had a hunch that if the coalition forces of all parties could not stop the unlimited expansion of the corpse tide in time this time, there might be a super tide of corpses exceeding 100 million in Jiangnan in the future.
A super zombie wave with a scale of over 100 million...
In the eyes of others, this may just be CEO Chu Feng's speculation, but for the reborn Lang Hua, it is a fact that has already happened.
The super zombie tide is not sensational.
Before the disaster, Jiangnan was a densely populated area, with nearly 800 million people living in cities and towns.
As for how many people there were before the disaster, theoretically there would be almost as many black corpses after the disaster.
However, most of the black corpses are distributed in every corner of the town, and the Lianghu area has experienced nuclear explosions. It is estimated that there will be only a twenty-three out of ten corpses that will eventually form a zombie tide.
However, the base number of black corpses is too large. Even if only one-tenth of the black corpses can be mobilized by zombie kings at all levels, the scale of the final zombie tide is beyond people's imagination.
This does not include the corpse beasts of all levels hidden in cities and mountains and forests. If these were all united, the corpse disaster that occurred in the south would probably become everyone's nightmare.
Wherever the giant zombie tide goes, no one or force will be able to survive, and the balance of the entire East Y region will be broken in an instant.
