Nanling City is in the southwest of Dongyue City. Although the distance is not very far, it has to pass through many small towns along the way.
Because they were on a rescue mission, the teams did not choose to take a detour this time. Instead, they followed the shortest route and passed directly through several towns full of zombies.
This time everyone once again realized the benefits of training. If it hadn't been for the experience of traveling through Dingfeng City, everyone would not have chosen so many small towns like Hengcheng.
This saved a lot of time as a rescue mission, and it only took us a day and a half to arrive outside Nanling City.
"Oh my god? Why are there so many zombies here?"
Nanling City is just a small fourth-tier city, with a total population of only 3.5 million. Even if these people all turned into zombies, there would not be so many evenly distributed throughout the city. .
But at this moment, they can see at least one million with their naked eyes, and this is only on the outskirts of the city.
These corpses have already crowded the streets and alleys of Nanling City, but they are still moving inward little by little.
"What is going on? Didn't it mean that the besieged army only had more than a hundred people? How could it attract so many zombies?"
At first glance, these zombies were not natives of Nanling City. The investigators followed the direction in which the zombies came and found that most of them came from very far away.
"Did this army accidentally encounter a group of migrating corpses during their mission?"
"It's possible. From the looks of it, they are really unlucky."
Seeing this scene, many people showed sympathetic expressions. Only Lin Qingqing looked at the group of corpses trying to push forward even if they couldn't squeeze, and squinted her eyes thoughtfully.
——This scene is too familiar. The group of corpses in the small square in Shoushan County looked so eager. Ha~ If the person inside was not Tang Li, she would write the character Lin upside down.
In the center of Nanling, inside a high-rise building, Tang Li looked at the densely packed corpses in his sight, and his heart felt gloomy.
"I'm sorry, I caused everyone trouble," he said a little guiltily.
"How can you be sure that you caused these zombies?" At this time, a person asked curiously.
"I can control zombies, so I know who they are coming for."
General Luo once told Tang Li that he should try not to say anything about his ability to attract zombies. And Tang Li himself also understood that if he was surrounded by people who were not his own, once this ability was exposed, he would definitely become the target of public criticism.
"Is it because I controlled too many zombies before? That's why the high-level zombies are targeting you?"
"It's not impossible."
After being reminded, everyone's thinking was immediately led in this direction.
Their mission in Nanling City is to attract zombies. After the fortifications in Dongyue City are completed, Nanling City will be the next target, and their team's mission is to lure away all the zombies in Nanling City.
Originally, there were only two level six zombies in Nanling City. With Tang Li here, and with the assistance of the zombie inducer, they would soon be able to lure out these three million zombies.
What they didn't expect was that as soon as they started taking action, a large group of corpses appeared in the distance.
At first, they thought they just happened to encounter a group of migrating zombies. In order not to cause trouble, Tang Li also used the ability in advance to make the zombies ignore their passive skills.
He has now been able to hide himself from the zombies for eighteen hours. He originally thought that these eighteen hours would be enough time for these zombies to leave, but he did not expect that these zombies would directly turn around when passing by Nanling City. Come in and don't leave.
Now, after eighteen hours, the zombies in Nanling City went crazy and quickly surrounded them on three levels inside and three outside.
Everyone also tried to break through, but there were too many zombies outside, squeezing one after another and blocking all the roads. Even with Xiao Sheng helping to cover, it was difficult for everyone to rush out.
"We have sent a rescue request to the base. If we hold on for a while, a rescue team should arrive!"
"With so many zombies, even if the rescue team descends from the air, it will not be an easy task."
They are now on the middle floor of this building, and the dozen or so floors above are all high-level zombies. If it weren't for this little comrade named Xiaosheng, they would have been torn to pieces by the group of high-level zombies above their heads. .
"The corpse horde is coming for me. While I can still control the corpse horde, everyone should leave first!"
Looking at Xiao Sheng's shaky back, Tang Li thought for a while and then said seriously.
"What are you talking about? We are on a mission together, how can we leave you alone!" The correspondent who had always quarreled with him said immediately after hearing this.
"Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. If you can leave one by one, everyone will have the chance to eliminate more zombies!"
"Besides, this is also an order!"
Tang Li's tone was firm and his mood was calm. Ever since he awakened such a power, he knew that sooner or later such a day would come.
As for the possibility of being rescued, he had not thought about it. The two previous times he happened to meet Lin Qingqing, but the god of luck could not always favor him again and again. In this regard, Tang Li thought Very open.
What's more, this is not the first time he has encountered such a desperate situation. The first two times he was abandoned, but this time he can at least send his companions out.
Tang Li's words made everyone fall into silence. As soldiers, they could not abandon their comrades, but as soldiers, they could not ignore the mission and military orders.
When everyone was in a dilemma, someone stood up first. He packed his weapons and luggage without saying a word, and then saluted Tang Li seriously.
After the first one, there was a second one soon. Although everyone was performing the same mission, they belonged to different legions. What's more, this is the end of the world. Even resolute soldiers have something more important in their hearts than comradeship.
It cannot be said that this is unloyal. Today, if anyone is in the same situation as Tang Li, they will make the same choice as Tang Li.
"Captain Tang, take care!"
"Captain Tang!"
"Take care of yourself!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Soon, only Xiao Sheng and a few teammates from the White Tiger Legion were left with Tang Li.
In order to get them to leave, Tang Li persuaded them for a long time before talking them all through.
"I'll leave later, at least until your period of weakness has passed!" At this time, Xiao Sheng whispered to him.
After entering the late fifth level, Tang Li's weakness period had been reduced from twelve hours to ten hours. He had used his ability in advance, so he was still within the weakness period at this time.
"Okay," he looked at the time and saw that there were only twenty minutes left, so Tang Li agreed to Xiao Sheng's request.
Twenty minutes later, under the cover of Xiao Sheng, the group of people carefully slipped out of the underground floor of the building, and the corpses in front of them moved out of the way.
Outside Nanling City, under the organization of Yang Chao, the captains discussed the rescue process together. A small number of people agreed to go in directly, but most people felt that it was better to be more cautious. It was best to first detect the person being attacked. specific positions for rescuing personnel, and then formulate a detailed rescue plan.
"We are on a rescue mission. Saving people is like putting out fires. After careful inspection, the day lilies may be cold! It's a waste to save them at that time!" Yang Chao crossed his arms and said with a sneer.
"Although what I said is true, everyone has also seen that there are so many zombies blocking here, more than those who besieged Dongyue City before. We can't completely ignore the safety of our brothers!"
It was the third-ranked captain who said this. When he chose the mission before, he had no choice but to choose the rescue mission. Now he heard that he rushed in without making any preparations. He was even more excited. I don't want to anymore.
"Since you have chosen a rescue mission, you must have the consciousness of being a rescue team," at this time, Lin Qingqing, who had been silent, suddenly said
: "I suggest that we divide our troops into two groups. Some of them attack from the front to attract the attention of the zombies, and some of them take shortcuts and go directly in to find the people!"
Her opinion was affirmed by Yang Chao. As for the conventional combat method of investigating first and planning later, it was simply unrealistic and would not be adopted by them.
Although Lin Qingqing did not say it directly, the third-ranked captain always felt like this woman had read her mind.
He avoided Lin Qingqing's gaze with some guilt, then pinched his nose and agreed to her suggestion.
The team responsible for entering the city to find people was quickly selected. In addition to the Qingmang team, the Yeying team, which is good at stealth, and the Ice team, which is good at control, all took the initiative to step forward. In addition, there were six teams. Joined the search for someone.
Needless to say, the rest of them all stayed behind, divided into several directions, and led the entire Nanling City corpse group from the front.
Time was running out, and as soon as the battle started, the nine teams responsible for finding people quickly entered Nanling City like nimble fish.
Since they can undertake such a dangerous search and rescue mission, each team must have their own unique methods, some walking on the ground, some walking underground, some sneaking, some being invisible... Soon the nine teams disappeared into the vastness. Among the corpses.
Unlike other teams, the Qingmang team took the aerial route this time.
With Lin Qingqing, an ice power user with super control, everyone quickly arrived at the top of a tall building.
"Little Bell, look around to see if there are any high-level zombies?"
"No," Wen Ling shook her head, and then said in confusion: "It's strange, there is such a large group of corpses around, and there is not even a level 4 zombie!"
"It's not surprising. High-level zombies have much sharper noses than low-level zombies." These gadgets know where the "good stuff" is.
Lin Qingqing took a deep breath. Looking down from a high place could best see the direction of the corpses. At this time, she was basically sure that Tang Li was here.
So, while things become more dangerous, they also become easier, because she knows better than anyone how to find the rescue target fastest.
