The power supply in the subway is provided by the shelter. But at this moment when you are generating your own electricity, you can't afford to waste it, and you can't use light to attract zombies, so the entire subway tunnel is pitch black.
Although almost every soldier is equipped with lighting supplies, considering that it is not known when supplies will be available in the future, under the order of the squad leader, only one or two people in each team use them.
The troops who were previously responsible for laying out iron wires in the subway were scattered in front of the iron wires everywhere, loudly reminding people passing by to keep their heads down.
A reconnaissance team was divided into three waves to conduct echelon reconnaissance toward the front of the tunnel.
The team walking at the end will arrange some detection equipment every distance to control the movements of zombies that will appear later.
This is the army of this world. There is no need for anyone to worry about it at all. As long as there is a general direction command, everything will work spontaneously.
As the last group of people to leave, Qiu Yu watched the 21st Squadron leave.
Several soldiers who had been following him silently saluted the convoy, and even Harpham hammered his chest in a decent manner. As long as they are not fools, who doesn’t know the meaning of this move?
"Let's go."
Qiu Yu didn't want to be too immersed in this kind of emotion that would affect his decision-making, so he took the lead and walked off the subway. Several soldiers quickly began to eliminate the smell and used various objects to cover the subway entrance.
As soon as everyone entered the subway tunnel, the sound of artillery fire from the 21st Squadron rang out, and then quickly disappeared.
The zombies arrived much faster than expected, but they did not cause much panic to the soldiers here. Everyone just silently increased their speed.
A few minutes later, the sounds outside had completely disappeared, and in the dark subway tunnel, only the echoing footsteps could be heard. Not long after, a team leader reported to Qiu Yu that zombies had appeared near the subway entrance. Then less than half a minute later, the report was updated to say that zombies had entered the tunnel.
Whether it is the cover of darkness, the elimination of odors, or the covering of the entrance, the effect is just half a minute longer.
At the same time, near the subway entrance.
A large number of zombies have already chased Squadron 21 away. There are not many zombies who still come here. Occasionally, a few wander near the subway entrance, but they are completely unaware of this secret entrance with a lot of fresh flesh and blood.
In fact, for ordinary zombies, as long as people stay a little farther away, there is no chance of being discovered by them even if they don't deliberately eliminate anything. However, this is only for ordinary zombies.
A zombie was only half the size of an ordinary zombie. When walking, it crawled on the ground with all four limbs. From time to time, it raised its head and looked around. Then every time it crawled again, it would approach the subway entrance a short distance away.
For this kind of zombie, neither the sound of distant gunfire nor the scent of flesh and blood left nearby a few hours ago could affect it at all, and it crawled almost in a straight line to the subway entrance.
Like a vicious dog discovering bones buried in the ground, this weird zombie quickly destroyed the covering of the subway entrance with its twisted and sharp hands. After creating a gap big enough for it to enter, it did not enter immediately. Instead, it stuck its head in and looked into the subway where it should not be able to see anything for a few seconds.
Roar--
A shriller sound than other zombies came from its mouth. Within a few kilometers in diameter, the zombies, whether they were eating or chasing, stopped and quickly gathered towards the screaming zombies.
The few zombies that approached the subway entrance were the first to rush over, using the roughest movements to completely remove the covering of the subway entrance, and then followed the weird zombies and rushed closer to the subway.
The first people who came here were running zombies. The first time they entered the subway, their heads were cut off by the wire across the subway stairs. They separated and rolled away from each other.
Seeing that all of his followers were suddenly wiped out, the weird zombie that did not hit the wire because it was crawling suddenly stopped and continued to scream on the spot to summon other zombies.
Slightly slower, the running zombies within the roar range poured into the subway at high speed, and then lost their heads at the same high speed. Just the first wire caused hundreds of zombies to fall here. If the corpses of zombies hadn't almost buried the wire under it, maybe all the running zombies attracted by the screams would have fallen here.
But in terms of results, there is no difference. After being intercepted by several wires, running zombies were completely extinct in this area.
When ordinary zombies that can only move at walking speed enter the subway before discovering humans, the effect of the iron wires is sharply reduced. Each wire will be broken after cutting off the heads of a small number of zombies pushed in the front row. .
However, if zombies win with numbers, then the soldiers who knew this well did not intend to admit defeat in terms of numbers when laying out the wire. Almost every few dozen centimeters is a wire crossing the tunnel. This is because there is not enough iron wire. Otherwise, they would even want to make an iron net that people can walk on.
Just by pushing under the subway stairs, zombie corpses have covered every possible space. In front, there is still more than two hundred meters of wire defense that they need to smooth out with their flesh and blood.
Roar--
Roar--
The crawling zombie roared rapidly. And a deafening roar answered it.
Like popping up a balloon, a saboteur waved his arms to sweep away all the zombies blocking the way, and then strode towards the wire.
The Destroyer also has little intelligence and only knows how to rush forward in response to the call of the crawling zombies. Although the wire that could cut off the heads of other zombies only reached his chest, and although his muscles were astonishingly strong, he still could not escape the category of flesh and blood destroyers. After rushing out for more than ten meters, he was killed by dozens of people one after another. A piece of wire was cut into two pieces.
But this saboteur was just the beginning. After it, several more saboteurs rushed into the subway tunnel. Afterwards, a large number of climbers started crawling directly on the cave wall because they were crowded by the zombies in front. The slower defenders had already appeared at the subway entrance.
Three kilometers away from the subway entrance, the soldiers speeded up for the second time under Qiu Yu's order. The howls of zombies kept echoing in the tunnel. Although they knew they were still some distance away, every sound seemed to be approaching behind them. If a few zombies jumped out from behind immediately, no one would think it was sudden.
Qiu Yu gradually became more nervous. He believed less and less in luck, but he believed in his own calculations and judgment.
The previously redeemed safe houses are more likely to be upgraded from existing safe locations than appearing randomly everywhere. If there is any other suitable place for a safe house, the first choice should be those refuge rooms that appear every other section of the subway. Qiu Yu has many plans, but the best one is to let everyone hide in the safe house and avoid fighting completely. After all, there are so many zombies, and killing tens of thousands of them will have no impact on the overall situation. On the contrary, if one of these people dies, their own strength will be weakened. Only considering the goal of surviving until dawn, fighting is just a means, and there is no necessity.
But now after walking three kilometers, I passed more than a hundred refuge rooms, but I didn't find any of them upgraded to a safe house.
Considering that there may be zombies who can be named stalkers, every time the safe house is discovered later, even if people like myself can escape, the possibility of zombies coming to the shelter will increase accordingly.
In Qiuyu's plan, the distance deep into the tunnel cannot exceed ten kilometers. In addition to leaving a maximum estimate of the tracker's abilities, the natural wandering speed of the zombies should also be considered. Otherwise, even if you are hiding in a safe house, but the tunnel is bombed because zombies wander into the shelter, it will be a veritable trap kill.
In addition to these, the size of the safe house is also key. If the area is the same as the refuge room before the upgrade, then even if everyone is squeezed into sardines, it will take at least two to three rooms to fit it.
Since he didn't find even one after three kilometers, Qiu Yu didn't expect to be lucky in the next few kilometers and could encounter several at once.
"Use three teams as a unit, and each unit will move ten meters apart."
In the end, you still have to fight.
Five kilometers away from the subway, there was movement from the detector a hundred meters behind the troops. Judging from the initial feedback from the detectors, the zombie swarm had already entered the subway tunnel. It wasn't until now that I caught up, and it seemed that those wires had played a big role.
Since the ones chasing after them were not running zombies, it is possible that all the runners had committed suicide. But on the contrary, ordinary zombies cannot catch up with the marching speed of the troops. If we can catch up at this delicate location now, the only ones chasing after us are newly mutated zombies.
It's not sure whether the troops will waver, but if we're not sure, we'll handle it as if it will.
Qiu Yu, who had always been at the rear, after receiving the report that the zombies were about to appear, moved forward instead of retreating, facing the chasing zombies.
This is not just a simple use of "Follow me" to boost morale, but also Qiuyu's desire to use sensory spread to determine the type and weakness of the zombies immediately. Then develop the most targeted and efficient tactics.
To his surprise, only one zombie appeared within the extended range of his perception. A zombie crawling quickly on all fours.
Regarding the spread of perception, regardless of life or death, the information that can be obtained is the same. And only dead things are the safest. Qiu Yu immediately raised the assault rifle equipped with a silencer, preparing to shoot him.
However, the moment the gun was pointed at the zombie, the zombie actually slowed down its crawling speed and turned its head away as if it had discovered danger. If it had been anyone else, it would have been able to retreat safely to the group of zombies not far behind it after dodging the first shot. Unfortunately, it was Qiu Yu who faced him. There is no chance of winning in a battle for perception against the owner of the spread of perception.
While the zombie changed speed and turned its head, Qiu Yu had already completed the next lock-on, and then shot the head with one shot.
It was only then that the climbers following it began to appear within the range of Qiuyu's perception. Qiu Yu could clearly observe that the movements of these climbers were uncoordinated for about half a second, and then they accelerated towards him again.
