Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 121 The Last Tide of 500,000 Zombies
The first year of the apocalypse, March 1st, 8pm.
"The latest battle report: 140,000 zombies in the north, 190,000 in the west, and 170,000 in the south of S City have arrived in our city and entered a dormant state. They will attack our base one after another tomorrow morning!"
Zhang Qiang, who had slept all day, was listening to his secretary's report. The fatigue from not sleeping for three days was swept away. The body recovery ability of a superhuman was much stronger than that of an ordinary person. Zhang Qiang couldn't help but wonder, "What about Home No. 1 in the east?"
There are one million zombies over there, and they are the top priority of the entire defense. Although the situation has improved significantly before he went to bed, and more than 600,000 zombies have been eliminated, but... the remaining 400,000 are almost equal to the number of zombies in the other three directions. Why didn't the secretary report it?
Could it be...that something happened?
Zhang Qiang looked at the people in the command room who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and his eyes gradually became serious: "If there is any situation... report it directly!"
The secretary and the people in the war room exchanged glances. Suddenly, a young analyst slapped the bulging air bag, "Bang!"
"Wuhu~!~!"
"Commander Zhang, I have good news for you! The million-strong zombie tide has been completely wiped out by the No. 1 Homeland Forces!!! They've all been wiped out!"
The entire command room was filled with an atmosphere of victory. They had seen this situation from the satellite map at noon today, but Zhang Qiang was still sleeping in the lounge next door at the time. Everyone communicated with each other secretly. There was no wild celebration, but they were just waiting for Zhang Qiang to wake up and share the good news together. However, they had been holding back for the entire afternoon, and now they wanted to let Zhang Qiang feel the atmosphere. It was really fun to watch Zhang Qiang's eyes change from seriousness to confusion, then to disbelief, and finally... ecstasy.
"Really!?" Zhang Qiang asked in disbelief.
"Really, Boss!"
"Good!" Zhang Qiang's face was excited, and his heart suddenly lightened. He couldn't help but say, "Great! Well done to No. 1 Home, Shen Jinniu...ah!"
Although they didn't help the battle against the millions of zombies in the east, the concept of the human community made them feel the same way, as if they had won the battle. Ten minutes later, Zhang Qiang frowned , "But... we can't be happy too soon. 14, 19, 17, there are still 500,000 zombies in total! We have no defenses here, it's still a big problem!"
The head of the observation team raised his hand and said, "Moreover, these remaining zombies are the elite among the elite, and there are a lot of zombies at level one and above. This means that this 500,000 zombie tide is much more powerful than the usual 500,000 zombie tide..."
"Yes, Director Liu is right. Our road ahead is still very difficult. Although we have hope of holding on, there is still no perfect plan for tomorrow's battle. Our brother cities will withdraw their troops tonight. Tomorrow's battle will be carried out by ourselves!"
Everyone felt a pressure on their shoulders. Could they... hold out against a powerful zombie tide of 500,000?
More than 400 people from Home No. 1 were able to wipe out a million zombies. As the highest branch of the dragnet in Province H, can they achieve half the result?
Everyone had a question mark in their mind. Zhang Qiang saw that the atmosphere in the command room was a little heavy, and said: "We were not ready to give up when there were more than 2 million zombies. Now there are only 500,000 left, less than 1/4 of the original number. The situation is much better. All extraordinary teams and crossbow troops should follow our previous strategic deployment and line up at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning!"
Everyone shouted, “Yes!”
The residents of the S City Tianluodiwang Branch Base have been evacuated. Those who remain are extraordinary people and elite sergeants. All the sergeants are equipped with military crossbows. They are only responsible for long-range fire suppression. It is not wise to let ordinary people fight with evolved zombies.
There are a total of 358 first-level extraordinary people, 7 second-level extraordinary people, and 5,000 elite soldiers.
An older officer murmured, "If there's a battle tomorrow... I don't know how many people will die!"
Ye Fan led a team of 200 extraordinary people to ambush and block a tide of 300,000 zombies. They blew up dams to release water, laid mines and detonated them. In the end, 42 extraordinary people were chased and killed by the tide of zombies. The base in S City was not indefensible, and the 5-meter-high defense line on the periphery could only guard against ordinary wandering zombies.
Tomorrow will be a bloody and bitter battle.
…
City B, Twin Towers, 52nd floor.
Sun Can stood in a relatively empty hall covered in blood. On the ground lay a deformed zombie that was still burning. Its mouth was split all the way to its ears. It looked extremely scary, like a zombie version of the Slit-Mouthed Woman...
Sun Can took a deep breath and stared at the blank wall in front of him. It seemed that there was something on it that others could not see. After a moment, Sun Can showed joy, "One more second-level zombie will be able to reach level 30, and then I can unlock the next stage of skills! The necromancy will be strengthened again, and the next step is to summon... vampires!"
Thinking of this, Sun Can was full of energy again. The twin towers in Kyoto were very strange. The task issued by the system was for him to come here to destroy a nest, but Sun Can had not seen any nests so far, only deformed zombies one after another. Each one was different from the ordinary zombies outside, with all kinds of strange shapes, as if they were the offspring of inbreeding of zombies, with crooked heads and slanted eyes, unable to distinguish between humans and animals, with many hands and eight claws, etc. However, this building had a rule. The zombies on each floor only stayed on that floor, and the zombies above would not run down to fight together. Moreover, the strength of the zombies was gradually increasing. Most of the zombies below were various deformed evolved bodies, which looked terrifying, but after mastering some of their rules, even the skeleton shooters could suppress them. It was just that the large number consumed Sun Can's special abilities. It's very big, and you have to take a break after beating a few floors. However, after the 40th floor, it's different. There is a second-level deformed zombie on each floor, and each one has different abilities. If you are not careful, you will fall into its trap. At this time... Sun Can suddenly has more people and more power. The 5 ghosts and 10 skeletons cooperate closely with him. In addition, Sun Can's own super armor and weapons, plus he is the ceiling player in single combat, has reached the level of second-level perfection. Moreover, in addition to the normal fire ability, there are skills learned from the [System Academy]. 1V1 second-level zombies is actually easier than before. "The Twin Towers has a total of 74 floors. Now I'm on the 52nd floor. It is very likely that a third-level zombie will appear in the nest on the top floor. Fortunately... after defeating the next one, I will have enough to upgrade!"
Sun Can was still halfway to full health at this time. It was enough to kill a second-level zombie. Moreover, after reaching level 30, the system would repair his entire body. Sun Can thought about it and didn't waste any more time to rest. He went straight to the 53rd floor. In front of him was a blood-red, dark and cramped scene. The air was damp and bloody. "Pah!"
The staircase from the 52nd floor to the 53rd floor was blocked by red flesh and blood. A flame floated in Sun Can's hand, illuminating the entire 53rd floor. The walls and the ground were all blood red and still wriggling, as if everything was alive. Sun Can looked at the palace of flesh and blood in front of him with a bad look in his eyes, "Hehehe——"
A zombie covered in black energy flames crawled out from his flesh and blood, and his two bulging eyeballs stared at Sun Can!
"Level 3!?"
