Volume 6: The Twelve Wallfacers Chapter 8: The Forces Are Cornered
Xiang Shi is the captain of the extraordinary team in Jinzhou City. He leads 200 extraordinary people. He is usually responsible for clearing small groups of zombies and lone zombies wandering in the wild, and he does not fight against the zombie tide.
Because dealing with the zombie tide requires area-of-effect weapons, the most popular ones within the Tianluodiwang are currently crystal core implosion mines and another type of crystal core bomb that can be manually activated.
Each of them carries one or two to deal with small groups of zombies, such as small groups of less than 1,000 zombies.
But today, Xiang Shi brought his troops out and chased more than 300 zombies to an abandoned warehouse.
According to yesterday's intelligence, there were no zombies in this abandoned warehouse, but when they arrived, they found that a reproductive body had come in at some point and was breeding little zombies. Xiang Shi immediately decided to destroy the nest of the breeding zombies, but the reproductive body zombie did not surrender. He made a sharp cry, attracting the attention of the zombie tide on the edge of the city.
Perhaps the Z zombies in this zombie tide have already spotted this reproductive body and want to absorb it into their zombie tide team, near this abandoned warehouse. So, the troops led by Xiang Shi encountered a zombie tide of 600,000 outside this warehouse...
"F**K!"
Escape! A mad escape!
The 200-man extraordinary force and the 600,000 zombies are not forces of the same level at all. Xiang Shi led his troops and fled directly out of the city!
Because... the Tianluodiwang Branch Base in Jinzhou City was not prepared to face this tide of zombies.
If this tide of 600,000 zombies were really allowed to attack them, it would not only be the 200 extraordinary people who would die, but also tens of thousands of civilians and all the extraordinary people in the entire Tianluodiwang Branch.
"Damn it, why is there no signal here? The current communication equipment really needs to be updated. The broken satellite can't receive electromagnetic waves caused by energy fluctuations at all."
Xiang Shi put the satellite phone back into his pocket and fled with his troops while cursing.
The vanguard of the zombie tide chasing them is a group of flying and agile zombies led by Y2 zombies and M2 zombies.
The speed is incredibly fast!
If it weren't for the fact that they were in the city with many shelters, they might have been stopped. But even with all their equipment, they were still losing people under the attack of these second-level high-speed zombies...
When they reached the edge of the city, there were only 120 of them left, and the tide of zombies was led out of the city as they wished.
The number of high-rise buildings around them has gradually decreased and the terrain has become open, which is very unfavorable for their escape.
Xiang Shi led his men to hide in a small factory that made barbecue ingredients. After stopping, he cursed, "Damn the zombie tide! Damn it, there's no way we can escape unscathed this time..."
The other teammates were silent. They knew that it would be difficult for them to escape without any flying equipment or flying abilities as they were being chased by 600,000 zombies.
One of the younger male Transcendents swelled up his body and activated his second-order gene lock: "I'm going to fight them. Killing ten of them won't be a loss, and killing a group of them will be a huge profit."
Xiang Shi slapped him on the head and said, "You don't want your 50-year-old mother anymore? I've told you so many times not to act like a hero outside when there are elderly people at home! You have no memory."
The young man touched his head and felt a little aggrieved. Xiang Shi turned around and said to all the team members seriously: "Now, I need you to do as I ask. All those who have families stand on the right, and those who are single like me stand on the left. Quick!"
The team members stood in line according to Xiang Shi's request, with the number of people on both sides exactly half and half, with 60 people on each side.
"What are you doing on the left? Get over here." Xiang Shi slapped the young extraordinary person from the left to the right.
The young extraordinary person said unconvincedly: "Captain, don't think I don't know what you want to do! The brothers all know my mother. Even if I leave, everyone will help me take good care of her. I... I'm not worried! My mother said that men should serve the country and win glory for the country in their lives. They must not be afraid of death. There are three martyrs in my family. My great-grandfather, my grandfather, and my father are all martyrs. I can't be a coward. My mother will understand me! I will stay to cover you!"
That's right, Xiang Shi planned to let them escape in two groups, one group would stay in this place to cover their retreat, and the other group would take the opportunity to run away and return to the base to report the news.
At this time , a middle-aged man with a beard on the right pulled the young extraordinary person over and exchanged positions with him.
"Xiao Lu, you are still young and have a long way to go to become a future Extraordinary. You are the most talented among us, so you cannot stay. Go back to the base and help me take care of my daughter. I will stay."
The man spoke very decisively, and immediately, the people who had just stood on the right began to speak.
"I'm staying here. My wife is in the medical team. She can take care of herself. The brothers who are still alive, please tell her...stay in the army and marry the right person when you meet one."
"Lao Qiang, stop pretending to be a hero here. Go back! I'm much older than you. I'll stay!"
"I……"
Suddenly, everyone in the small factory started to make a commotion. Xiang Shi slapped the iron plate beside him and shouted, "Enough! Do you still respect me as your superior? Everyone, obey orders and follow the original assignments! Those on the left stay, and those on the right retreat immediately. Xiao Lu, you go to the right!"
Xiao Lu wanted to say something but was stopped by Xiang Shi's fierce eyes. The captain's majesty took effect at this moment and no one dared to make a noise anymore because everyone knew that time waits for no one and obeying orders was their best choice.
"The zombie tide is coming soon. We still have time to retreat now, otherwise not even half of us will survive. Xiao Lu, you are the strongest. I appoint you as the acting captain. Lead our 60 brothers to survive and return to the base. Can you do it? "
Xiao Lu saluted, tears streaming down his eyes: "Yes, sir!"
Xiao Lu and 61 other people quickly evacuated from the back door. Everyone's eyes were red and filled with tears, because their lives were saved by the lives of 59 other brothers...
They knew they had to leave quickly and without any lingering feelings, otherwise the chance the captain had fought for them would no longer exist. They had to work harder to survive to be worthy of the 59 teammates who were left behind.
"roar!!!"
Xiao Lu and his friends had just walked out of the factory from the back door when they heard the roars of zombies outside and a rustling sound on the roof, as if zombies were scratching the roof.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The front door is also being banged on, and they will soon be besieged by a tide of zombies.
Xiang Shi looked at the extraordinary people who stayed behind and said, "Brothers, I'm sorry... I gave them the chance to live. If you blame me, I'll fry and fry me in hell to make amends!"
Everyone looked at Xiang Shi with sharp eyes, their eyes were full of respect and passion, without any complaints.
"Boss, since the day I followed you, you have saved my life twice. I have lived so many extra years. It's time for me to do something for everyone!"
"Remember what we said during the last meal? If we really reach the end of our rope, we must prioritize protecting our brothers with families. Boss, you did it. I'm happy to die here with you!"
"Ah... Xiaomei in the infirmary is so damn pretty. I was planning to confess my feelings to her after this mission, but forget it, maybe in the next life..."
Everyone firmly accepted this result because they were the patron saints of this country, and no one failed at the critical moment!
"Any cigarettes?"
A middle-aged extraordinary person with scars on his face suddenly spoke.
"have!"
Xiang Shi took out a crumpled box of Yunyan cigarettes from his pocket and said, "I have one too, but I haven't had time to smoke it yet!"
Another person took out a box of Changbaishan and said, "I also have a box hidden..."
A few people gathered together four boxes of cigarettes, and the middle-aged extraordinary person with scars said, "Come on, take one each!"
Regardless of whether they smoked or not, each of the 59 people took a cigarette. The fire-type supernaturalist snapped his fingers and lit cigarettes for everyone. Wisps of white mist floated up from the 59 cigarettes...
At this time, the door outside had been broken with a loud "bang"!
The zombies rushed in.
They didn't even have time for a cigarette, "Swoosh!"
Xiang Shi took a deep puff, sucked the cigarette in his hand directly from the tip to the filter, raised his head and exhaled a thick white mist, and shouted loudly: "Great!"
Everyone followed his example and sucked the cigarette down in one gulp, exhaling thick smoke. Xiang Shi drew out his steel sword and said, "Brothers, let's explode! Fight these zombies! The longer we hold on, the greater the chances of the other brothers escaping... Burn!"
The 59 men charged forward with their weapons, shouting in unison: "For the Dragnet!"
"For China!"
"kill!"
The door of the small factory had been knocked open by the zombies. Leading the charge were 10 M2 zombies. They had blue hair, bulging eyes, and a pair of extremely strong long legs. Their hands and soles were covered with blue mucus, allowing them to climb the wall.
They were sprinting at an extremely fast speed, like 10 sports cars running at 200 miles per hour.
These 10 second-level zombies are not easy to deal with...
The highest member of Xiang Shi's team is only a second-level transcendent, and there are only 8 of them. Most of them are first-level advanced transcendents who were artificially created by taking the two potions of Tianluodiwang.
A second-level transcendent has no advantage against a second-level zombie. It takes multiple second-level transcendents working together to kill a second-level zombie. If they fight alone, they will easily be killed by the zombies.
Not to mention that they are currently at a disadvantage in terms of the number of second-level transcendents.
This is also the reason why they were hunted down and 80 brothers died along the way. The second-level evolved zombies were too many and too strong for them.
"Rising life for life! We must keep all ten of them here!"
These extremely fast M2 zombies are the main force of the pursuit. If they are left here, the teammates who want to escape will have a glimmer of hope.
At this time, Xiang Shi glanced at the roof and found that the biting sounds had disappeared. "Logically speaking, the Y2 zombies should be up there preparing to double-team us. Could it be that they are chasing Xiao Lu and the others?"
This question popped up in Xiang Shi’s mind, but the zombies were approaching, and he didn’t have time to think about it. He just hoped that Xiao Lu and the others would have better luck and not be easily caught up by those flying zombies.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The crowd fought against the M2 zombies. They had the advantage in numbers, and the first round of superpowers would force 10 M2 zombies to retreat. One of the M2 zombies even had an arm chopped off by Xiang Shi.
"Um……"
The scarred middle-aged transcendent in the team groaned, covered his stomach and fell to the side.
Xiang Shi looked back and found that his stomach had been pierced by the sharp claws of the M2 zombie. The tattered craftsman soul equipment on his body had completely lost its durability and fell off.
In the previous pursuit, the zombies caused multiple damages to their craftsman soul equipment, and without a continuous blood supply, the durability was reduced to the lowest.
The middle-aged man did not survive this head-on confrontation.
"Don't worry about me, just keep fighting!"
The middle-aged extraordinary person knew that he was doomed to die because he was still a first-level advanced extraordinary person and had not yet been promoted to a second-level extraordinary person. The zombie virus had no cure.
It was not worth it for his teammates to waste their time on him, so he might as well use this time to kill more zombies. He tore off the autumn clothes inside the armor and wrapped them around the wound, then stood up again with blood. He wanted to use the last time to cause some damage to the zombies, even if he had to hug them with his own body!
"Old Liu!"
The team members knew what he was going to do, but no one could stop him because they were doomed to die if they stayed here. Rather than lying there and being eaten to death by zombies, it would be better for Lao Liu to die gloriously in the battle with the zombies. This was Lao Liu's honor!
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The walls of the small factory were broken one after another, and more zombies poured in, L2, T2, S2, etc...
Everyone's eyes showed determination, and their supernatural powers were aroused to the extreme, "Let's fight!"
The next second, the roof suddenly collapsed!
“Boom boom—”
Countless pieces of iron, lime, and steel bars fell down, blocking the zombies that were supposed to rush in. Their offensive was slowed down, and the roof above everyone's heads did not collapse.
Through the holes in the roof, one can see floating in the air... several extraordinary beings with electric jet packs on their backs. In their hands, they hold a black and red energy gun that is fully charged with energy.
The people above shouted: "Brothers below, move back, we are about to open fire!"
There is support!
Xiang Shi hurriedly led his men to retreat 10 meters, and dense red shells fell from the sky!
“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”
The laser cannon exploded in the pile of zombies in front of Xiang Shi and his group.
All the zombies in the factory were knocked over by this huge energy. The air was filled with the smell of zombies' flesh and blood and burning. Deep pits were blown out on the ground. The already flimsy small factory building was made even worse and half of it had collapsed.
"Come with us."
The people above landed in the factory, picked up one person at a time and flew away without saying a word, leaving here quickly. Xiang Shi and the others did not resist. They were all human beings, and no matter where the other party came from, it was better than being eaten by zombies.
"Which unit are you from?"
As an old extraordinary person in Jinzhou City, Xiang Shi is familiar with the official troops and people in the civilian gathering places here. The equipment and faces of these people are unfamiliar, and they definitely do not belong to any force in Jinzhou City.
"Homeland No. 1."
