The battle lasted from day to night, and until night fell, the continuous roars of the corpses could be heard in the distance.
"Report, someone was killed on the front line!"
This was the first time I heard that someone had died in this battle, and every instructor present felt heavy.
"How many more corpses are there?"
"It's expected that there will be more than half left!"
Half, that is, more than four million and close to five million. So many were wiped out in just a few hours. This number has far exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Report to the commander, Chen Yong requested to go to the front line for support!" At this time, the instructor Chen stood up and said firmly.
"Report! Li Feng requests support!"
"Report, Han Xiao is asking for support!"
"hold on!"
Zhao Lijun frowned and interrupted the instructors' invitation to fight.
"But……"
Chen Yong was very puzzled. It was already this time. What was Commander Zhao still waiting for? Do we really want those 857 people to fight to the death?
"Wait...two more hours."
Zhao Lijun's brows were almost furrowed. It was obviously very difficult for him to make this decision, but he had to do it. Although more than four million zombies were a lot, the situation had not yet reached the most serious moment. The instructors here are also the most valuable backbone of each legion. This trump card cannot be played casually.
Although Commander Zhao did not give an explanation, as a soldier, obeying orders is the first duty. After hearing this, everyone could only sit back again, suppressing the anxiety in their hearts and waiting for the opportunity.
Two hours seemed to be extremely long. Battle reports from the front kept coming, including good news and bad news. Whenever someone was killed or seriously injured, the atmosphere in the command room would become more depressing.
After finally waiting until the end of two hours, Chen Yong stood up again.
But before he could speak this time, the correspondent who had just left rushed in with a look of joy on his face.
"Report! Commander Tong said that the defense and counterattack system has been constructed and assembled! It can be activated at any time!"
"Okay!" Zhao Lijun immediately slapped the table and stood up after hearing this, "Tell Mr. Tong to activate the counterattack system immediately and beat me hard!"
"Yes!" The correspondent's eyes flashed with excitement and he immediately responded loudly.
"It turns out that Commander Zhao has been waiting for Commander Tong!"
At this time, Chen Yong and others suddenly realized that they had always heard that the base defense system designed by Master Tong was very powerful. This was the first time for everyone to see it. If we use an armed system to fight back, it is indeed much better than the instructors going into battle in person.
As he spoke, a strong vibration came from a distance, and the glass on the window and the water glass on the table all shook.
After a while, the vibration disappeared. After a moment of silence, it seemed as if some switch was suddenly turned on. Countless shells suddenly flew out from above the head, and bright firelight connected into one, instantly illuminating the dark night sky as if it were daytime. .
Immediately afterwards, deafening bombings continued to sound, and even the ground beneath their feet was shaking.
"This...is this what the engineering teams behind us built?" A person with superpowers looked at the beam of light that kept flying over his head in surprise. The firelight reflected on his pupils like blossoming flowers. The gorgeous fireworks are heart-stoppingly beautiful.
"It's a pity that Xiaoxin and the others can no longer see such a spectacular sight," another teammate said secretly wiping away tears.
"It doesn't matter, they will see it!"
"Well you're right, they'll see it!"
The two of them supported each other and stood quietly, looking up at the fire above their heads and listening to the explosions in the distance in silence.
This is the result of 69 elite teams, 857 people, and it took a full fourteen days of persistence. The moment they saw the counterattack system activated, everyone felt an uncontrollable sense of pride. and pride.
They did it!
They really did it!
Once the defense and counterattack system is turned on, the resources consumed every minute are measured in hundreds of millions. Therefore, such a powerful system will usually stop immediately after it is responsible for repelling the zombies approaching the city.
But this time, Zhao Lijun did not order to stop the attack. It was not until the first trace of white fish belly appeared in the east and most of the corpse tide was completely wiped out that the roar of the explosion gradually stopped.
"Brothers, come on! Don't let these zombies escape!"
At this time, someone shouted loudly, and then all the superpowers rushed out from behind the defense line and killed the remaining corpses.
"Come on! Avenge your dead brothers!"
"Grandma, why don't you run away and leave the crystal core for grandpa!
"That's right, now that someone is here, don't even think about running away!"
…
Under the baptism of artillery fire, the already exhausted people seemed to suddenly have unlimited strength in their bodies. They chased the corpses and continued to kill them, as if they were about to burst out all the emotions they had suppressed for so many years.
"Don't chase the bad guys. Should we let them come back?"
At this time, the instructors had also arrived at the defense line. Seeing that many teams had already reached places far away from the defense line, Chen Yong said with some worry.
"What are you afraid of? There are zombies on the other side, but they are not humans! Are you worried that they are planning to counterattack?" Han Xiao said nonchalantly.
"High-level zombies are not low in intelligence, so it is possible..." Chen Yong said with a frown.
"By the way, speaking of high-level zombies, I don't know how the five teams performed their missions," Han Xiao touched his chin and turned to look at Ye Lanshan, who had been silent.
"Even if they haven't succeeded yet, they must have caused a lot of trouble to those mental zombies." Otherwise, the zombies at this time would not have collapsed so badly, and even the formation could hardly be maintained. .
"Yes, it seems that this mission has come to a successful conclusion again," Han Xiao stretched out and turned around to greet everyone back.
However, at this moment, Ye Lanshan, who had always looked calm, grabbed his arm.
"Wait a minute, something's wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Han Xiao looked at the young man in surprise. He had never seen Ye Lanshan look so nervous before.
"Look at those zombies!" At this time, Shang Qing also screamed.
Following her words, everyone turned their attention to the front of the battlefield.
"Huh? The zombies have started to retreat!" Han Xiao said in surprise: "It's quite orderly..."
As he was speaking, he was suddenly stunned.
"No, how could the zombies retreat in such an orderly manner..."
At this time, on the ruined battlefield, the zombies who were still fighting with the human superpowers paused at a certain moment, as if they had been cast a restraining spell, and suddenly stopped attacking collectively, and all of them attacked in unison. He turned his face towards the direction he came from.
There was no roar, no resistance, and even when the superpower's skills hit them, they were completely unaware. It was as if a specific program had been suddenly activated. Regardless of whether they were level one or level six, all the zombies took neat steps and turned around to walk in the direction they came from.
Seeing such a strange scene, Han Xiao seemed a little confused. They had seen the scene of the zombie wave retreating more than once, but they had never seen such a quiet and uniform retreat like today.
"No! Notify Commander Zhao quickly and ask everyone to withdraw immediately!"
Ye Lanshan shouted to wake everyone up. Everyone had experienced strong winds and waves. Regardless of whether they understood the reason or not, they all rushed out immediately. No matter what, they summoned the teams back first!
Asking Han Xiao to inform Commander Zhao first, Ye Lanshan took a deep breath, took out the special military satellite phone, and then skillfully dialed a set of numbers.
"Yuan Zhen!" Ye Lanshan said in a deep voice.
"What's going on?" A sleepy voice came from the other end of the receiver, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
"Ten minutes! Dongyue City! Emergency rescue! Come quickly!!"
"What level?"
"S-level!"
"..."
Upon hearing these two words, the originally lazy voice immediately jumped up from the bed.
"almost there!!"
At the moment when the communication was hung up, Ye Lanshan faintly heard an extremely shocking sentence: Damn it~
The squads were killing each other on the battlefield, and suddenly a rapid siren sounded from behind.
"S-class alert?"
"what happened?"
"This is an evacuation alert! It's S level!"
"Why are you raising the retreat alarm now? I'm having a great time killing!"
…
Most of the team was still in the excitement of killing zombies. At this moment, when they received the signal to retreat, everyone couldn't help but murmur.
"team leader?"
"withdraw!"
"But," everyone showed hesitant expressions as they looked at the zombies that were motionless and allowed to be chopped down by them.
"This is an order!"
"...Okay, let's retreat!"
The teams of the four major legions had long been accustomed to obeying military orders. Even if they were unwilling to do so, they withdrew immediately.
However, other civilian teams were not so obedient, especially those with super powers who were in the mood to fight. They only looked back and threw the retreat order behind them.
"Every team listens to the order! Retreat immediately! Return to the defense line within five minutes!"
At this time, along with the retreat siren, Zhao Lijun's voice also sounded behind him.
"Say it again! All teams obey the order! Retreat immediately! Return to the defense line within five minutes! Anyone who disobeys the order will be treated as a traitor!" Zhao Lijun's voice became more and more severe.
"hiss--"
What kind of situation is being treated as a rebellion... Now everyone is not calm.
"Tell brothers to withdraw!"
"I see... Damn it, Jiji Waiwai, I just want to kill two more zombies!"
…
"Da Liu, don't kill me, leave now!"
"No, you go first. When I kill that power zombie, I will take revenge on Xiao Liu!"
…
"Walk!"
"Get out quickly!"
"But……"
"But what? Do you want to be a traitor?"
…
As soon as these words came out, everyone started to rush back, willingly and unwillingly. Commander Zhao only gave him five minutes. If he couldn't run away, he might really become a traitor by then.
As the five-minute countdown progressed, most of the team and the superpowers came back. Only a few people were jealous and had no intention of withdrawing.
