If there's anything worse than being overtaken by zombies, it's being overtaken by a fully-equipped zombie army.
Fortunately, the worst case scenario did not occur. Although the climbers attack in the tunnel in a three-dimensional manner, they are far less threatening to armies with long-range means than rushing in with a group of defenders.
Because of Qiu Yu's order, almost all the soldiers had good shooting range. When the last three teams poured out all the bullets in their guns without any scruples, as long as they retreated with all their strength, the second group ten meters away The team can then seamlessly connect attacks.
Apart from having the ability to move three-dimensionally and a slightly faster movement speed, climbers are no different from ordinary zombies. Under intense and sustained fire, it poses little threat to well-trained soldiers.
Choo Choo Choo--
Several climbers that were about to fall from their heads were killed by Qiu Yu. Because of Qiu Yu's existence, this number of climbers went from not being much of a threat to not being a threat at all.
After all the climbers were cleared, only seven units had fired a magazine of bullets, for a total of twenty-one teams. Qiu Yu would not think that it was his luck. The number of zombies that was far less than expected was mostly due to the 21st Armored Squadron.
"Keep formation and keep moving forward."
The troops here were originally used to protect farmland areas, not attract zombies, so every soldier's firearm is equipped with a silencer. But in an environment like a tunnel, even if a silencer is installed, gunshots can be heard hundreds of meters away. Coupled with the use of so many guns and the roar of zombies, it is enough to attract zombies from two to three kilometers away. Therefore, even if the next wave of zombies must be faced, it cannot be on this battlefield that has attracted the attention of the zombies.
After the troops left, Qiu Yu scanned the crawling zombies at close range with the spread of perception. The information he obtained made him feel that he was somewhat lucky. In addition to basic instincts, this zombie also possesses beast-level intelligence. Coupled with its powerful sense of smell, hearing, vision, and heat perception, it is simply a universal biological tracker. In addition, the structure of its vocal cords can emit strong infrasound waves. Just one scream can attract zombies in a large area.
Fortunately, Squadron 21 had lured away a lot of zombies in advance, and fortunately he killed them as soon as possible, otherwise the result would have been really disastrous.
Those zombies were able to catch up so quickly, mostly because of it. But on the other hand, if there is only one such zombie in the tunnel, the zombies behind may return to wandering state, and they will not be able to walk a few kilometers until dawn.
Shaking his head to dispel this idea of placing hope on the other party, Qiu Yu quickly disappeared into the darkness. But he was not in a hurry to chase the troops. Instead, he left a light source on the battlefield and observed it from a distance.
Soon after, a small group of zombies with burn marks appeared. Qiu Yu, two hundred meters away, fired with his rifle. Not the head, but the feet.
The moment he was attacked, the arsonist lit himself on fire, but after turning around a few times and failing to find the attacker, he immediately extinguished the flames. In the end, a group of charred zombies were piled up in the tunnel like firewood waiting to be lit.
After a few more boring minutes of waiting, the real main force of the corpse group arrived. No longer appearing alone, the tall defenders and destroyers were mixed in with the ordinary zombies and surged forward.
If the positions of the arsonists can be reasonably allocated, all the zombies can probably be burned. It's a pity that arsonists will spontaneously combust as soon as they discover humans, so they can only be used as a one-time killer weapon.
In order to prevent himself from playing with fire and burning himself, Qiu Yu rushed forward when the corpse group had just reached the position of the arsonist. During a roar of corpses that was comparable to a sonic attack, the entire tunnel suddenly lit up, and then the intense burnt smell and smoke almost made Qiu Yu suffocate.
The group of corpses who knew no pain roared forward in the nearly thousand-degree heat, but most of them could not take more than a few steps before they carbonized and collapsed. Even defenders with strong physical defenses have no effective means of combating high temperatures. The bones all over his body crackled like firecrackers, exploding bit by bit in the flames.
A destroyer relied on his strong strength to jump directly over the flames, but just being swept by the flames a few times had already damaged his tight muscle structure, and he fell directly to the ground when he landed. Then, what greeted him was Akiyu's precise headshot attack.
It was probably due to mutual burning, or it may have been burned before, or it may be due to insufficient oxygen supply in the tunnel. In the end, the arsonist's burning only lasted for half a minute, but in this half minute, thousands of zombies, Among them were more than a dozen defenders and saboteurs, which were reduced to charcoal. Black and white ash floated in the tunnel.
The burnt stench obscures the sense of smell, the ashes obscure the vision, and the various popping sounds that occur from time to time obscure the hearing. This is a dark place for humans and zombies alike. But for Qiu Yu, who has a spreading sense, this is the perfect home ground to eliminate more zombies.
Putting down all the ordinary rifles and laser rifles, and holding only two military daggers, he rushed into the smoke-shrouded zombies.
Targets, only destroyers and defenders. The former is nothing more than several layers of cowhide stacked together. With just a little force, it can be pierced directly into the brain from the chin, and then twisted hard to cause complete death. Defenders are a little more troublesome. With a height of nearly three meters, it is difficult for Qiu Yu to reach his head, and even his neck and the like are covered by a solid exoskeleton. He can only use more effort to jump up high and stab it through his eye socket or ear canal.
The result of not being able to kill instantly is that every defender will struggle after being injured, making Qiu Yu spend more energy to avoid. Two minutes later, Qiu Yu came out with blood all over his body covered in thick ashes.
All the mutated zombies within the range of perception have been eliminated. Regardless of whether there are more later, there is no time to think about it for the time being. The rest is left to regular gunfights.
He tore off his epaulettes, took off his clothes that weighed at least two kilograms, grabbed the laser rifle, and quickly chased the troops heading forward.
Based on the current speed, Qiu Yu estimated that they had walked at least two kilometers. But after a few hundred meters, they encountered troops that had stopped advancing.
It's still the same formation as before, but the front and back teams have been swapped.
"What did you do? I didn't give a clear order. These fools insist on coming back to find you..." Harpham, who had been waiting in the queue, actually retreated to the back. As soon as he saw Qiu Yu, he started complaining desperately. But when he saw Qiu Yu's black and white primitive style, he suddenly stepped back in fear, "He turned into a zombie, he turned into a zombie."
"Why are you so crazy? If you mess up the morale of the army, I will turn you into a zombie." Qiu Yu said hurriedly. He was really afraid that these soldiers would be frightened by Harpham, lose control, and shoot together to sieve him.
But soon, Qiu Yu found that he was worrying too much. No matter whether it was before or after Harpham called, no soldier turned his gun towards him. I don’t know if they have discovered that they are alive a long time ago or if they have absolute confidence in themselves.
"Be ready for battle."
Qiu Yu received a new rifle and turned to look at the way he came.
Qiu Yu knew exactly where bombs were buried in this tunnel. The final resort was to give up the follow-up plan when it was really dangerous, detonate some of the bombs himself to stop the zombies, and then retreat to the shelter at full speed.
Fortunately, there is no need to use last resort for the time being. Now that most of the mutated zombies have been killed, the ordinary zombies in the tunnel pose no threat at all. The occasional belated defenders and saboteurs were easily eliminated with Qiu Yu's precise shooting and the use of laser rifles.
Even the defender can still be knocked down with one shot in the single-shot mode of the laser rifle. This further promotes Qiu Yu's determination to obtain more future weapons.
Half an hour later, there were no more standing zombies in the tunnel. At this time, the position reached by fighting and retreating is seven to eight kilometers into the subway tunnel. Just to the side, Qiu Yu discovered the first safe house.
Although other soldiers were still on alert, Qiu Yu was certain that the possibility of another large wave of zombies attacking was extremely slim. The safe house appearing at this time is not even the icing on the cake. At most, it can be regarded as a house where you can rest. Of course, defensiveness aside, there are still advantages here compared to ordinary refuge rooms. That means there is still electricity here, which can recharge the energy of the laser rifle that is almost running out of spare batteries.
As he approached the safe house and his perception spread further into the safe house, Qiu Yu had another small surprise.
The safe house is not just an empty room, there are actually several mattresses on the ground, several large buckets of water and a large package of future-quality compressed food. Compared with ordinary future residential buildings, this place is more like a true future refuge room.
"Let's rest here for now."
Qiu Yu opened the door to the safe house. To his surprise, Harpham not only did not object, but was the first to squeeze into the room. Next, the soldiers began to let the teams with the greatest contribution enter the safe house based on their performance in the previous battle, while the others entered the ordinary refuge room next to the safe house.
Qiu Yu vaguely realized something, grabbed a floor bunk, yawned and relaxed Harpham and asked, "Do you think this room is any different from the one next to it?"
"What does it mean to feel? It's different. The buildings next to it are all ancient buildings made of ordinary steel and concrete, but here are high-strength memory crystals."
Qiu Yu secretly thought, "Are there many rooms built with memory crystals?"
Harpham thought for a while, "Well, there should be a lot, but now it seems to be hidden for some reason."
"How did you hide it? Where did you hide it?" Qiu Yu unconsciously raised his voice.
Harpham spread his hands, "Who knows, we still know too little about this world, and there are so many unknown things."
"Then what else do you know?"
Harpham shook his head, "I can't remember it. It seems that some force controls our memory. However, I feel that it should be a good thing that I can't remember it."
Qiu Yu felt a little messy. What do regulators want to do? He clearly erased other people's memories, but he let others know that their memories had been erased.
He once again grabbed Harpham, who was about to fall down to sleep, and handed the laser rifle to him, "Do you recognize this thing?"
Harpham opened his eyes and took a look, "Dart Frog, the cheap laser rifle that civilians like to use most."
Qiu Yu pressed his temples as if he had a headache and asked, "When did you recognize this as a laser rifle?"
"When I hand over the position of captain to you."
Qiu Yu threw away Harpham, then called a soldier over, pointed at the laser rifle and asked, "Do you know what kind of gun this is?"
"K309D1 laser rifle, commonly known as Dart Frog." the soldier answered loudly.
"When did you find this gun of mine?"
"If you saw it with your own eyes, it was during your battle against the zombies just now."
"So, you knew it before you saw it with your own eyes?"
"Yes, our captain participated in your inauguration ceremony. Because the weapons we use are very backward, we are particularly concerned about the dart frogs on your body. You mentioned this to us when you came back."
Qiu Yu suddenly realized that he was a little careless on this matter. I have become accustomed to being able to discover it through perceptual spread every time I unlock it. Therefore, I always thought that the captain was not authentic enough, so I could not unlock it. Now it seems that the unlocking of certain things will not trigger changes in the law at all, such as simple memories that already exist.
What this captain unlocks is the future knowledge of the soldiers that is synchronized with what they know now.
