After being lured by the sound of army shelling from three directions, there were relatively few zombies on the five or six west-facing streets.
Under the protection of the fighting forces of all parties, the zombies on these streets that have not been lured away and the zombies on the side streets are not too serious a threat to the retreating team.
However, the numerous survivors who fled from the central security zone changed this situation.
After the western wall of the central safety zone was massively blown up, the remaining 17.8 million survivors in the safety zone, driven by a strong desire to survive, had to climb over the ruins even if they were carrying heavy packages. , flowing quickly like flood water into the streets heading west.
At the beginning, they could still follow the arrangements of relevant personnel and merge into relatively safer streets. But as time went by, the people who were not able to escape became more and more panicked. Finally, they refused to obey the arrangements and forced their way through the obstacles. They entered other streets and fled to the west.
These people attract more and more zombies. In the end, even the numerous corpses that were heading towards the direction of the gunfire changed their direction and chased after these fleeing people.
Then a tragic scene happened.
The fleeing crowd, unable to resist, attracted large groups of zombies to five or six main retreat roads.
By the time Xiang Xiancheng came to notify Yan Chengfeng, Zhao Xuan and others, the survivors in the middle and rear sections of the retreating team were bleeding like rivers, with no less than 30,000 casualties.
And the number of casualties is expanding rapidly as time goes by.
Xiang Xiancheng explained the situation to Zhao Xuan and others in as short a language as possible, and Zhao Xuan and others immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.
However, although Yan Chengfeng and Zhao Xuan were psychologically cautious, they did not take the matter seriously.
"Choose a side." Yan Chengfeng nuzzled at Zhao Xuan casually.
"On my left now."
Zhao Xuan said indifferently and immediately led his people towards the back.
People from other forces also quickly followed.
Yan Chengfeng also quickly turned back with his own strength.
"Boss, I originally thought that there would be no fighting during this retreat. Now it seems that I can finally kill to my heart's content." While running towards the back, Lu Qiang waved his iron rod and said enthusiastically.
The big iron rod in Lu Qiang's hand now is not the ordinary iron rod he held before, but the refined iron rod that Zhao Xuan obtained from the space ruins. Not only does this iron rod weigh 180 kilograms, its toughness is more than three to five times that of ordinary iron rods, and it can easily withstand the blessing of Lu Qiang's metallic energy.
Not only did Lu Qiang now have the metal power to protect his body, he also had such a powerful weapon, and his desire to kill zombies was overwhelming.
"You can't even think about it. Later we will formulate tactics with you as the main center." Zhao Xuan looked at Lu Qiang's murderous look, nodded with satisfaction and said.
With Lu Qiang's physique and heavy weapons, he could have been invincible among the zombies. And after he had the metal power to protect his body, his fault tolerance rate in battle increased many times.
He was only worried about being attacked continuously or by concentrated fire attacks from zombies with special powers.
But Zhao Xuan would never let Lu Qiang fall into this situation. Once the supernatural zombies appear, they will be attacked by Zhao Xuan and other supernatural beings and be killed instantly, allowing Lu Qiang's 'heavy tank' to continue to play its role.
Now Zhao Xuan even feels that Lu Qiang's return has at least doubled the overall combat strength of his team!
It was precisely because of Lu Qiang's presence that Zhao Xuan felt that this escort mission would not be too difficult, and he did not need to worry too much.
While talking, they had returned almost two kilometers.
Clear and intensive gunshots could already be heard a few streets away on the right.
Zhao Xuan's team immediately turned right and ran towards the place where the gunfire rang out.
After crossing three streets, they saw army soldiers setting up crane guns in front of them to snipe at the advancing zombies.
The situation of the army soldiers at this time was already quite critical.
During this period, heavy machine gun bullets were still very powerful against zombies. If a normal human being faced with the fatal shooting of four heavy machine guns lined up on the street, even with Yan Chengfeng's super speed, don't expect to be able to rush over.
But zombies are different.
Not only are zombies highly tolerant, but they also feel no pain. As long as the zombie's legs are not broken, even if a big hole is punched in the chest, or half of the head is knocked off, they can still keep moving forward.
Zombies with broken legs can also crawl forward on the ground.
So at this time, the zombies at the front had already approached the shooting position.
Qin Kedi happened to be resisting at this street intersection.
He had already put away his automatic rifle and pulled out his long knife, preparing to fight the zombies in close combat.
At this time, his expression was extremely serious. He knew that once the close combat began, the heavy machine gun could not continue to fire. With just the strength of his troops, he may be able to resist for only three or four minutes at most before having to retreat, otherwise the entire army will be destroyed.
And that time...
He couldn't help but look back and looked worriedly at the long street behind him.
Although the refugees on the long street behind him did not continue to flow forward, but merged sideways into the main road, but once he could not resist it, the large number of refugees on the main road...
He has already seen the tragic scene of millions of corpses!
While thinking, the zombie at the front had already jumped two or three meters in front of the heavy machine gun.
"Stop the machine gun fire and retreat to the next intersection. Others follow me."
After Qin Kedi roared, he raised his hand and released a bolt of thunder and lightning.
This bolt of lightning instantly hit the zombie at the front and spread quickly among the zombies, slowing down the progress of the zombies.
Taking this opportunity, forty or fifty soldiers armed with sharp swords rushed forward immediately.
Unfortunately, too many zombies came after them. Even though the forty or fifty soldiers were sharp and fearless in killing, they were forced back by the zombies as soon as they caught fire.
It was only because Qin Kedi released chain lightnings from time to time to lag the corpses that the soldiers did not suffer large-scale casualties.
However, after three minutes passed, almost ten soldiers were still thrown to the ground by zombies and lost their lives permanently.
Qin conquered the enemy, his eyes were about to split and his heart was like a knife twisting.
He looked back and saw that four heavy machine guns had been deployed at the next street corner.
"retreat!"
He released another lightning bolt to stop the zombies in the front row, and then issued a retreat order.
Although the heavy machine gun at the next street intersection can't stop the zombies for a long time, for every extra second he blocks the zombies here, at least a thousand more survivors on the main roads can pass through!
That’s 60,000 people in one minute!
He wants to use the desperate persistence of the soldiers to let as many survivors as possible escape.
