Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 91: Using the power of terrain to set a sure-kill strategy
After Shen Jin flew over, he saw that Tianhe Mountain had already set up the first line of defense . The road in the entire scenic area facing Qiangwu County was surrounded by [round stones]. The arrangement was so complete that it even exceeded his expectations. There were even some maze-like paths that could make the tide of zombies fall into the death trap in confusion.
If he were to build these by himself, it would take him at least half a day. However, more than 400 extraordinary people loaded with [cobblestone] blocks completed the first phase of the project in just one hour. The people behind him are still making arrangements. There is more than one line of defense in Tianhe Mountain. This is a pass!
It contains multiple lines of defense, and once the zombie tide comes, they will definitely suffer heavy losses!
The first official battle of this time will be fought at the foot of Tianhe Mountain, which will also be the first burial ground for the million-zombie tide!
"Old Wu did a good job, it's got some real flavor!" Shen Jin patted Old Wu on the shoulder, "Hey, boss, this time I also installed a mechanical crossbow on the defense line, the kind that can shoot through a T1 zombie with one arrow!"
"Oh? Let me see!"
After Wu Yong was promoted to a second-level extraordinary person, his mechanical ability became stronger again. According to him, he could use this ability to stick more things together to form a structure. This is "mechanical ability!"
Only he knows how to use this kind of mechanical engineering. Others cannot make the same thing using the same means. His mechanical creations can also be used by others as long as they use their supernatural powers to activate them. Shen Jin believes that this is a very potential supernatural power, especially in defensive battles.
"Here, Boss, look at this. It's the city defense crossbow I just made!"
Wu Yong pointed to a huge frame next to the city wall. He didn't look at it carefully when he came in just now and thought it was extra building materials. Now if he looks carefully, it does look a bit like a crossbow, but... this crossbow is too big. The base is made of pure round stone, with a bow arm about 5 meters long on it, and a thick hard hemp rope in the middle. It is covered with Wu Yong's signature ochre light, proving that it is a product of mechanical technology.
Wu Yong pulled out a 4-meter-long giant arrow from his [Craftsman Soul Backpack]. The arrowhead on it was shining with a deep yellow light and looked very sharp. "This is the arrow for the crossbow. I made the arrowhead directly from the steel bars in the house. This kind of arrow has a strong force and is only suitable for hitting from high to low, but it is extremely powerful. One arrow can directly penetrate a row of zombies!"
"Wow! It's really good. If the people from Tianluodiwang saw this thing, they would definitely buy some!"
Although Shen Jin has [TNT], it is not as flexible as arrows and needs to be deployed in advance. Moreover, the damage to the first-level evolved zombies is limited. Multiple ones must be detonated together to kill the first-level evolved zombies.
As for Wu Yong's skill, it is a targeted skill. If operated properly, he can kill the first-level evolved zombies. Of course, it can only kill the dumber zombies walking on the ground. Forget about the Y1 in the sky and the M1 on the wall. It is a bit too much to ask them to be fast and accurate when they are so thick, big and hard.
"Hey, I'll continue with the decoration. It's good to have a backpack. I can use the materials at hand!"
Wu Yong muttered as he went to make arrangements on the wall. Shen Jin took an overall look at the current arrangements. If one goes from Qiangwu County to S City in a straight line without taking a detour, one must pass through this winding mountain road. The zombie tide needs to follow the winding mountain road that people had previously dug, pass through the outer periphery of Tianhe Mountain, and then rush towards S City. Shen Jin has set up a trap like a dragnet here to lure the zombies into the trap. The surrounding depressions and cliffs are the best places for zombies. The space here is enough to bury you, not to mention 1 million zombies, even if there are 2 million, they can still do it!
…
"So, our geographical location is extremely good. The reason why we agreed to help City S stop these 500,000 zombies is because of this high ground. Our earth-type psychics must work overtime in the next two days to seal this road! When the time comes, we will blow up the retreat of the 500,000 zombies and catch them in the trap!"
The person in charge of the distribution of the dragnet in Y City said on a long and narrow mountain road.
The secretary beside him hesitated for a moment and said, "Leader, but... our explosives won't light up?"
"Don't we have the 'Crystal Core Implosion Mine' given by Tianluodiwang? If thermal weapons don't work, use energy weapons!"
"But... that thing needs someone to step on it to be triggered. How can we control the zombies to go in and step on it?"
"Are you stupid? They went in and let our people trigger it!"
The director of the Y City branch of Tianluodiwang was a little angry, "But... who is going to step on it?"
"You bastard! Don't come to work tomorrow, just go! Go step on it! Just step on it, okay? Don't even use your brain. Stepping on it is a stress response. If we throw a few rocks over there, it will also count as stepping on it. When the time comes, it will all explode. Do you understand?"
"Oh! So that's it!" The secretary nodded blankly, indicating that he had learned it.
"You! You don't have any common sense at all. How did you become a leader's secretary? What did you study?" The leader of Tianluodiwang was a little confused. This was the secretary he had just replaced. She was said to be an educated person and used to follow a big leader.
"I majored in Chinese Language and Literature, and I'm especially good at writing and making phone calls!"
“…”
The branch chief of Tianluodiwang was speechless.
…
At the same time, Ye Fan and his own troops from City S have arrived at another gorge. This place also has natural geographical advantages. A dam of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project passes by here. As long as they guide it a little, the water can instantly flood the basin below. Ye Fan and his team stood on the dam. The original black tights turned into blood-red armor like Shen Jin and his team. The energy fluctuations on it were obvious, and it had been fed with zombie blood. "The troops from City X and City H are blocking in front. After the zombie tide passes, they will most likely come here. Before that, we must study the impact of the water flow and the location where the zombie tide is washed away, and then deploy these 1,000 mines to annihilate most of them in one fell swoop!"
One of his subordinates, a PhD in engineering in physics, stood up and habitually tried to adjust his glasses. He found that he was no longer nearsighted after becoming a superhuman, but it was still difficult to change a habit of 30 years.
"Are we really going to blow up the dam? Will there be a future where..."
Ye Fan said coldly: "If we can't protect S City, what's the future? We just need to kill all the zombies, and the rest will naturally be taken care of by future generations!"
After hearing this, everyone's expressions were startled. "Yes! The old man from Tianluodiwang said that we have overdrawn our body's potential to reach our current level. It will be impossible for us to advance in the future. If we can't kill these zombies in the next six months, our role will be of little use. We must kill them!"
"We have taken up our responsibilities now, and the mistakes left behind will be made up by future generations!"
Sparks of fighting flashed in the eyes of this group of first-level extraordinary men.
…
Sun Can has entered City B. This road is more difficult than he imagined...
More than half of the zombies here are first-level evolved zombies. This number is extremely terrifying!
You know, in a city like Q, 95% are just ordinary evolved zombies, and the number of first-order evolved zombies is only about 5%. In other words, there may be only one first-order evolved zombie among 20, and second-order evolved zombies are even rarer. It is difficult to encounter them unless you win the lottery.
In the suburbs of S City, first-order evolved zombies can be seen everywhere, and second-order evolved zombies are not uncommon. Sun Can was almost beaten silly. If it weren't for his men who could summon them, he would be left alone now...
His mission was to go deep into S City and destroy a nest.
Now I don’t dare to walk around the streets with skeletons and ghosts like I did in Q City. I can only lie low and crawl forward…
"Luckily, I have the equipment made by Brother Shen, otherwise these skeletons of mine would be really useless. I heard from him that these equipment will have the function of being strengthened in the future. After completing this task, I will go to him to strengthen them..."
After mumbling, Sun Can was a little out of breath, "Should... we leave?"
Sun Can quickly used a shovel to dig away the dirt on his head before he suffocated. At this time, his figure was revealed, lying in a big pit under a house, along with a bunch of skeletons and ghosts.
"Hehe~! I got a new life-saving skill!"
In other words, the skeletons and ghosts don't breathe, otherwise the little oxygen underground would suffocate Sun Can to death in a short while.
He got up and continued to go deeper. He felt that this mission would be difficult...
