Early the next morning, Northern Huangshan was still besieged by a wave of corpses.
During the non-stop battle day and night, the people guarding the Songlin Ridge base suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon.
Starting from yesterday evening, the attack of the corpse tide suddenly slowed down and became chaotic and disorderly.
Many special-sense black corpses no longer waited on the mountainside to launch attacks from a distance, but instead rushed to the front of the formation swarm.
Whether it's a ghost monkey, a gorilla, an ordinary black corpse, bone spurs, or spitting.
Regardless of whether they were of the first, second or third level, they all rushed under the city wall, scrambling to get to the top of the city.
The city-defending evolutionists took the opportunity to shoot and eliminate a batch of G-type bone spurs covered in dark green spikes, as well as many A-type spits that were swaying with big bellies.
Bullets are undoubtedly the most important resource now, but as long as they can kill the special feeling, it is worth it.
For a week, these guys only hid far away on the mountainside. They kept firing cold shots and sneak attacks on them, killing many of their companions.
Now that they suddenly had a chance for revenge, how could they not be very excited?
However, when people were in high spirits, there was a person on the tower who was frowning.
This man is wearing a strong sword and has a tall build. His black hair is spread over his shoulders, and his upper limbs are well muscled. Just standing there is like erecting half a city wall.
He is none other than Hou Shan, the city lord of Songlin Ridge Base.
Hou Shan has been guarding the city since yesterday, guarding the city with many soldiers.
Overnight, he witnessed the sacrifice of the city defenders one after another, and also witnessed the sudden turbulence of the corpse tide.
Ordinary black zombies and special-sense zombies no longer fight together, which is a huge change.
Hou Shan was keenly aware that something must have happened behind the tide of corpses.
Although he couldn't guess what it was yet, he felt that this might be an opportunity to escape.
For this reason, he stayed at the top of the city all night, thinking hard.
The longer he thought about it, the deeper his frown deepened.
Because although the tide of corpses was chaotic, it never dispersed.
On the contrary, many of the black corpses who had been lingering at the foot of the mountain as a reserve team were now driven up the hillside by instinct and headed straight for the Pine Ridge base.
An orderly attacking zombie tide is terrifying, but a chaotic zombie tide is equally terrifying.
The former gives people a feeling of powerlessness, like a punch hitting cotton.
The group of ordinary corpses is difficult to deal with, and the ghost monkeys mixed in the ordinary black corpses are hard to guard against. The bone awls and mucus that attack from a distance are more like the Sword of Damocles hanging above their heads at all times.
For a week, the siege of corpses gave Hou Shan exactly this feeling.
Difficult, cunning, and impossible to attack.
But it wasn't until yesterday, until he experienced the latter, that he knew what was truly terrifying about the zombie tide.
The chaotic and disorderly tide of corpses is like sea water at high tide, constantly rising and rising.
It's like a big hand strangling the throat. As the strength continues to increase, it gradually makes people suffocate.
After one night, until the sun rose, countless black corpses had filled every corner under the city wall.
At a glance, the hillside was covered with ragged black corpses.
The place was crowded and bustling, like a swarm of migrating locusts, attacking overwhelmingly.
They can't kill them all, they can't wipe them out completely. The corpses are replenished even faster and more than the defenders can kill.
The dead bodies formed a continuous slope under the wall, one after another, from the bottom of the city wall to the tower.
Overnight, the black corpses attacked the city several times, but were beaten down again by Hou Shan's men.
He once took the lead and jumped off the city wall many times to blow up the ramps, but new ramps were quickly built.
Even though Hou Shan has the god-level ability "Super Endurance", even though he is one of the few fourth-level ability users in the Jiangnan area, he is still exhausted and scarred at this time.
Not only Hou Shan, but the soldiers defending the city also changed from three shifts to two shifts. The group of people in front of them had been fighting continuously for a day and night.
It's not that they don't want to rest, but because everyone else is dead.
There are no more living people to replace on Beihuang Mountain!
Just last night, all the living people except the old, weak, women and children had climbed onto the city wall to fight.
This is a life or death moment and everyone will take up arms to fight for survival.
Today, Hou Shan no longer imagines that the tide of corpses will slowly dissipate on its own.
There is a lot of human flavor in the city, which is like a poppy to the black corpse.
But now there are only more than 3,000 of them left, but there are millions of black corpses outside the city with their mouths wide open, waiting for food.
This battle...how else can we fight it?
The reality was so helpless that Hou Shan, filled with grief and anger, slapped his palm heavily on the railing beside him.
A row of wrought iron railings fell to the ground with a roar.
Hou Shan heard footsteps coming from behind.
He turned around and saw that the person coming was a short-haired woman wearing a navy blue training uniform.
His embarrassment was visible to others, and Hou Shan couldn't help but change his face slightly.
But out of courtesy, he still took a step forward and said hello:
"Captain Lin Xiao, you are here."
"City Master Hou." The other party nodded politely and asked, "How is the situation outside the city?"
After hearing this, Hou Shan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "The zombies are out in full force. It may not be so easy to hold on."
Hearing Hou Shan say the same thing, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel worried:
"This Corpse King...why did he suddenly change his strategy?"
"I guess something happened to the Corpse King. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for us." Hou Shan said his guess and suddenly asked the other party, "By the way, Captain Lin, didn't you just go back to rest?" , why now..."
The east and south sides of Songlin Ridge are cliffs, and only the north and west walls need to be defended.
The defense area previously assigned to Lin Xiao was in the north of the city.
Like Hou Shan, she also guarded the city wall for a day and a night.
However, Captain Lin Xiao was not a person with abilities. She was already very weak after days of fighting, so Hou Shan persuaded her to take a rest.
Who knew that only half an hour later, she would wake up on her own.
Lin Xiao knew that Hou Shan was concerned, but at this moment, Songlin Ridge was in danger, and no one else would be able to sleep.
For this reason, Lin Xiao explained: "I'm really worried. Besides, I've had a rest, so City Lord Hou doesn't have to worry about it."
"That's fine." Hou Shan suddenly chuckled, "To be honest, with you at the top of the city, I feel much more at ease."
Lin Xiao smiled in return. Seeing Hou Shan's bloodshot eyes, she said quietly: "City Master Hou hasn't slept for several days either."
"Haha, I'm a rough guy, and I still have the ability to evolve. Besides, Captain Lin is here to save us. He is the benefactor of everyone at the Pine Ridge Base."
"I feel ashamed to say it. They are obviously a rescue force, but I never thought that they would be trapped on this lonely mountain."
"In the past seven days, among the rebels who have traveled thousands of miles to rescue me in Songlin Ridge, you are the only ones who can break into the zombie wave. I have to thank you, Captain Lin, for bringing hope to the rest of us. I know that without you, Join, without the support of the Kong family’s airdrop of supplies, Songlin Ridge would not be able to hold on now. So I have decided that tonight I will lead the crowd to open the way and risk my life to break through..."
Lin Xiao was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly:
"City Lord Hou, you must not do this. You should not take this step until you have no choice but to do so."
"But what else can we do?"
Hou Shan stopped smiling and his expression became more solemn.
He said slowly:
“At the beginning of the siege, we sent death squads to use precious large-caliber sniper bullets, hoping to eliminate some of the special forces and delay the city’s destruction.
But who knows that they will always have a steady supply of soldiers to replenish.
Now we have all seen what a wave of millions of corpses looks like.
All the way to the horizon, endless...
Compared with them, we can't afford it.
Not to mention that the zombie tide will not retreat on its own initiative.
Even if the tide of corpses can slowly recede within half a month, or rescue can come within half a month.
But the number of people defending the city has become smaller and smaller. Now there are only 3,000 old and weak soldiers left. Can they still hold on for so long?
You can't hold on even for three days here, let alone more than ten days.
Captain Lin, we can no longer place our hope in misty rescue.
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the zombie tide, tonight is the last chance!
Captain Lin, don't worry, this time I, Hou Shan, will send you out no matter what.
Hou Shan will always remember Captain Lin's kindness and Master Kong's benevolence and righteousness.
If you are lucky enough to survive, Hou Shan will definitely..."
Facing Lin Xiao, Hou Shan was about to reveal the entire plan.
Unexpectedly, at this time, someone came forward and reported:
"Report to the city lord that there is a person coming from the bottom of the mountain, claiming to be the messenger of reinforcements from Langya City."
"Yamashita? Is it really reinforcements?"
If there are reinforcements to support them, their chances of surviving the encirclement will increase significantly!
Hou Shan and Lin Xiao looked at each other, both surprised and happy.
Hou Shan said hurriedly: "Please, please come quickly. Please come here quickly."
A moment later, a thin, dark boy walked over quickly.
Hou Shan heard from the guards that this man flew up to Songlin Ridge in the air, and that there had been special attacks along the way but none of them succeeded, so he was sure that he must be a person with extraordinary abilities.
Being able to break in from a crowd of millions of corpses is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do.
"Little brother," Hou Shan solemnly introduced, "I am Hou Shan, the lord of this city, and this is Lin Xiao, the squadron leader of the Southeast Special Forces Brigade. May I ask what I call my little brother?"
Duan Hei cupped his fists and responded: "City Master Hou, Captain Lin, my name is Duan Hei, and I am the second lieutenant platoon leader of the Langya City Base in the Southern Qi Garrison Area. My deputy city master Lang Hua has led five thousand troops to help and is waiting at the foot of the mountain."
"Five thousand people..."
Hou Shan thought of the commotion caused by the corpse tide since last night, and suddenly asked:
"Could it be that you are responsible for this unusual movement of zombies..."
"Not bad." Duan Hei said proudly, "Yesterday, our army successfully attacked the headquarters of the corpse tide and beheaded the corpse king. At this moment, the zombie tide is leaderless, and this is a great opportunity to rescue everyone."
"You can actually behead the corpse king. No wonder the zombie tide is in chaos right now..."
The two of them originally didn't have much hope against five thousand people, but when they heard that the other party actually beheaded the Corpse King, they couldn't help but have a high opinion of the combat power of these reinforcements.
Lin Xiao and Hou Shan looked at each other, and the former asked first:
"I wonder how you can help us get out of danger..."
"My parents have a good plan. However, we are unable to communicate with everyone on the mountain, so they sent me here to deliver the message."
Duan Heishen whispered a few words to the two of them mysteriously, and then said apologetically:
"My parents said that although this plan is feasible, it would only be a pity for the beautiful scenery of the Northern Huangshan Mountains."
With the strategy to break out, Hou Shan was extremely happy at this time.
He directly waved his hand and said: "People are already dead, and we are still thinking about what to do with the mountains, forests and vegetation. Little brother Duan, I think it depends on your parents' plan."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xiao and asked, "Captain Lin, what do you think?"
Lin Xiao thought for a moment, and then understood the righteousness clearly: "Forget it, the most important thing at the moment is to send away the six thousand evolved people in the city. As warriors, we have nothing to fear about dying, but the old, young, women and children in the city You shouldn’t die in this tide of corpses in vain.”
Langya City and Songlin Ridge hit it off immediately, and Duan Hei has completed this mission.
He made an agreement with the two of them: "Okay, then after midnight tonight, with the signal bomb as the command, we will pick you up at the weak point of the encirclement and go down the mountain."
With the strategy to break out, Lin Xiaoshang was a little worried about his subsequent escape.
She considered it and said: "Although I can escape the siege, I am afraid that before I can escape from Beihuang Mountain, I will be overtaken by the corpse tide and massacre the people."
Unexpectedly, Duan Hei said: "Our commander has already thought of this. Before I came, he said that the people on the mountain cannot leave at once, and a team of people must be left behind to defend the enemy. It also serves to attract the main force of the Black Corpse Army. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiao made a decisive decision:
"Okay, then please ask City Master Hou to lead his people and leave first. Our squadron still has a lot of ammunition left, so it won't be a problem to resist for a while."
Hou Shan shook his head and declined: "No, Captain Lin. It's better for you to take the people away. You have come all the way to rescue our Beihuangshan base, which is a huge kindness. We must not let you take risks for us this time." .”
Lin Xiao then said: "We are here under the orders of Mr. Kong, and Lin Xiao is just doing his duty."
Looking at her look, Hou Shan had already guessed that Lin Xiao felt that it would be difficult for those in the rear to escape, so he chose to stay.
For this reason, he said bluntly: "Captain Lin, don't worry, I have a plan to escape from it."
Seeing Hou Shan's persistence, Lin Xiao had no choice but to agree even though he was hesitant.
Finally, Hou Shan said to Duan Hei: "Brother Duan, please report back to your parents. Tonight we will be ready to go, waiting for your breakout signal."
"That's very good. Duan Hei will set off immediately to report back. Please take care of yourself."
"Thank you, be careful along the way."
