Chapter 36 The corpse retreat?

The temporary command room outside the base was set up under the city wall. Fu Lianhe was sitting in front of his seat with his eyes wide open, watching the wireless messages from the first line of defense come back one after another, but his face was pale as if he was stunned.

"Report, report! One hundred meters in front of the formation, there are more than twenty ghost monkey corpses!"

"Let's go! If you don't go, everyone will die!"

"Leave me alone, save the squad leader first! He was shot by a bone spur."

"Here, reinforcements...where are the reinforcements?"

"Kill! Kill these beasts."

"Help, someone come and save us..."

"Fu Lianhe, organize a counterattack quickly, otherwise it will be too late. Fu Lianhe, do you receive it? Hurry, be fast."

Big beads of sweat trickled down his forehead and down his cheeks, and Fu Lianhe's face had lost all color. He opened his mouth wide, but could not make any sound. He raised his arms, but his fingertips were shaking violently. Once upon a time, in the classroom, in

In class, the teacher has never taught such a tragic scene...

With a loud "pop", Chen Hui kicked open the door of the command room. He threw aside the sniper rifle connected to the headset, walked to the communication desk and grabbed Fu Lianhe. Chen Hui grabbed the other man's collar and shouted.

Said: "What are you doing? Didn't you receive my message?"

"Uncle Chen, I..."

Fu Lianhe just woke up from a dream. He looked at the unshaven man in front of him and couldn't utter a complete sentence incoherently. At this moment, another voice sounded on the wireless message that had been silent, number 013, from the front left

A rifle position.

"Headquarters, headquarters, this is position 013, please fire, please fire!"

"I'm here!" Chen Hui grabbed the microphone and asked hurriedly, "Which department are you in? Is there anyone on the first line of defense now?"

"I'm... a medical soldier." The radio sounded like a young man's voice. His voice was soft and fragile, and he had an obvious cry. "I don't know if there is anyone else here. I have no one here."

If he dies, I will be the only one left."

"What? Then find a place to hide."

"It's too late. I'm surrounded by corpses. There are more than twenty ghost monkey corpses here. Please fire, please...ah!"

Along with a scream, the wireless message was interrupted. Old Chen looked at Fu Lianhe with red eyes and shouted hysterically at him: "Didn't you place two rocket launchers on the city wall? Fire for me! Blast these beasts to pieces! Kill them.

!!!"

"Yes." Fu Lianhe quickly grabbed the microphone, "Attention artillery, target position 013, three volleys, let go!"

The next moment, Chen Hui opened the gate of the outer city and led a team of troops to charge in the opposite direction. He took the lead with a Type 05 rifle, and the rest were also equipped with new rifles with full firepower.

"He is still just a young man!" Chen Hui's eyes were filled with tears before he knew it. "He obviously still has a lot of youth, this damn apocalypse, these damn black corpses! Fight them all, leave no one behind."

!”

At the same time, in the trench under the outer city wall, 1,600 soldiers on the second line of defense rushed out of the trench under the leadership of Xing Wutian, raised their swords and guns and rushed towards the oncoming black corpses.

With a long sword in hand, a gun like thunder.

This is the flame of revenge, the clarion call to welcome the dead home.

Human beings are an anomaly in the history of biological evolution. They do not have sharp teeth, sharp claws, strong muscles, or sharp reactions, but they unexpectedly reached the top of the biological chain. This situation did not happen after the disaster either.

In other words, it can be said that human beings have no advantage in close combat with all evolved creatures. However, the seemingly passionate and powerful counterattack means greater casualties.

warriors

Break out of the trenches to avenge them. In this battle, the heavy damage to Langya City was foreseeable. But no one thought that it would come so quickly and so fiercely.

Looking down from a high altitude through the perspective of a drone, around the charging array, there are some retreating figures with their heads covered. They look embarrassed, have low morale, and look so out of place compared to other soldiers.

A few of these people were disgraced wounded soldiers, including Sanxi who had successfully withdrawn and a few logisticians, while the rest were all ability users. In the previous battle, they had killed or injured six or seven people, and even those who were not injured were almost

The energy was exhausted and they could no longer fight anymore. Now, with livid expressions on their faces, the ability users quickly entered the city along the passages on both sides, facing the white eyes of ordinary people, and at the same time, they also made way for the rifles to shoot.

As if in response to people's charge, the rocket launcher standing at the top of the city made a continuous roar. 72 107 mm caliber artillery shells dragged a long tail flame from the 12 gun barrels and fell into the group of corpses, like a fire dragon plow.

It cuts the ground and the ground as easily as the earth

Everything attached to the ground. Moving outward from the outer city, within a range of about 3 to 4 kilometers from the second line of defense under the city wall, patches of soil, rocks, and broken wood were shaken into the air, and countless black corpses were lifted.

Turned over, torn to pieces, swallowed up by air waves and gun smoke.

Then came a sea of ​​​​fire that suddenly rose. A trench buried between the first and second lines of defense was filled with flammable and explosive kerosene. At this time, it was remotely detonated by a micro bomb, and a sea of ​​​​fire immediately set off.

Looking at the sea of ​​fire, there are struggling and tumbling ghost monkeys, gorillas and a few shields, ordinary black corpses that were ignited and fell down like candles. The long and narrow sea of ​​​​fire is about to break out.

The large group of corpses was once again divided into two parts, the front and rear. Although the vanguard that broke through the first line of defense escaped the sea of ​​​​fire, they were hit by rocket launchers. When the smoke gradually dissipated, countless sharp blades rushed out, and countless red-blooded people were killed.

Eyes. Those are soldiers with live ammunition, fully armed warriors. There is no peace between them and these inhuman monsters, only a life-and-death struggle.

While the fighting was in full swing on the front line, at the top of Fengwei Mountain far away from the frontline battlefield, someone was watching silently. The leader was Chen Xinyan, wearing a white coat and glasses, and behind her stood Duan Qing and Zheng Yueying.

There is a layer of mist in the air halfway up the mountain, but standing on the top of the mountain, you can still see the rocks and trees fifteen kilometers away, as well as the movement tracks of the corpses ten kilometers away. Even without a telescope, the black corpses in the field of vision have a rough outline.

The view from the top of the mountain is extremely wide, and you can have a panoramic view of everything in the distance, which is enough to lay out the entire battlefield.

"Dean, the kerosene defense line has been triggered. Chen Hui and the others are currently fighting outside the second line of defense."

"I saw it."

There was only the whistling wind on the mountain, and the sounds in the distance seemed to become clearer. Guns, fighting, fighting, screaming... Chen Xinyan stood silently at the wind outlet, taking a deep breath, as if she could smell the burning smell of gunpowder smoke.

, and the faint smell of blood that comes with it.

The sea of ​​​​fire combined with the shells has an outstanding effect. The smoke and high heat are not only harmful to the black corpse's sense of smell, but also cover up the "human smell" that permeates Langya City to a certain extent. In this way, the tide of corpses that have already poured out of the jungle like a tide,

At this moment, he shrank back like a ghost.

"The corpse group... seems to be retreating."

After Zheng Yueying finished speaking, she didn't look happy at all. She and Duan Qing looked at each other and said in unison: "King of Corpses!"

Zheng Yueying couldn't understand: "But the prophecy post said that the Corpse King will not be formed until next year at the earliest."

"That's right, there must be a Corpse King controlling it behind the scenes." Duan Qing insisted, "Otherwise, how can we explain the organization and discipline of the corpse group? And look at those black corpses that attack from a distance, they actually know how to hide in the thick skin and thick flesh.

Behind the gorilla and shield armor, they were never included in the charge troops."

Zheng Yueying said anxiously: "This paragraph

The distance has exceeded the range of the rocket launcher, why don't we use the Qin family to send those..."

Duan Qing naturally knew how sophisticated the equipment sent by the Qin family was, but she did not answer and just turned her questioning gaze to Chen Xinyan.

The latter seemed to be aware of it and said: "No need. The tide of corpses has subsided. Tell Chen Hui and Xing Wutian to act according to the original plan. Now is not the time to show your cards in a hurry."

"yes."

The messenger took the order and used the zip line to go down the mountain. After that, Chen Xinyan stood on the top of the mountain for a long time. She watched the rockets carrying the tail flames fall into the corpses with extraordinary effect, and watched the soldiers on the second line of defense dragging

The tired body was cleaning the battlefield and collecting the remains of his companions, but for some reason he was bitter and speechless.

The zombies retreated. This was undoubtedly a tragic victory for the humans in Fengwei Mountain. The price paid by Langya City was far greater than expected before the war. It was just the first charge of the zombies. Langya City

The first line of defense and the kerosene trap between the first and second lines of defense were lost, not to mention a large number of combat attrition and ability users who were accidentally killed in battle...

Perhaps the Corpse King family has a great cause and doesn't care about the life and death of thousands of black corpses, but the soldiers of Langya City are living lives, and everyone is a survivor who has finally escaped from the black corpses.

According to the prophecy post, the proportion of special evolutions of corpses is higher than that of parasites, so special black corpses are often more common than ability users and black beasts. However, among the limited combat personnel in the base, there are very few ability users.

, it really can’t stand repeated consumption.

Thinking of this, Chen Xinyan suddenly asked: "Xiaoqing, do you know...how many people died?"

"According to reports from the front line, the number of casualties among ordinary evolved people is close to 600, and those with abilities are less than 10."

"That's it..."

Chen Xinyan remembered that there were once 600 new recruits on the first line of defense, but now not even a tenth of them were withdrawn alive. According to Zheng Yueying, among them, the front line of defense with the largest number of black corpses was the most severely damaged, and a few were killed by special corpses.

On the positions that were under the focus of the group's care, many combat squads disappeared organically.

The first line of defense is the weakest, and there are no measures to stop the speed-type black zombies outside. The real line of defense of Langya City is the tall fortress wall. It is only a matter of time before the first and second lines of defense outside the city fall as planned.

As long as the black corpses can be initially consumed, the mission of the first and second lines of defense has been achieved. With Caiyun and Cai Shifen creating earth walls to block the corpses, the black corpses' attack rhythm will not be too fast. After several rifle squads and abilities

Those who take turns fighting, this batch of 10,000 black corpses can consume at least seventy-seven or eighty-eight, and both those with abilities and ordinary warriors can retreat to the outer city calmly.

It's a pity that the incident happened so quickly that these people were not given time to evacuate. Unexpectedly, the ability users were so stubborn that they not only harmed themselves but also harmed the soldiers of the frontline rifle squad.

If it weren't for the area between the first and second lines of defense being filled with trip wires, wire formations and trenches filled with diesel fuel, and if it weren't for the soldiers charging forward and fighting without fear of death, perhaps those corpses would have reached the city wall long ago. Unexpectedly

Tragic, unexpected corpse king and special corpse group, as well as unexpectedly huge corpse group, no one knows what to do next.

The dark group of corpses entrenched on the edge of the jungle looked at each other through the flames with the human warriors waiting on the city wall. Zheng Yueying and the others stood on the top of the mountain and had the clearest view, and the worries in their hearts were the heaviest.

Only when she looked at the upright woman standing in front of her did she feel a little more at ease. Thinking of this, Zheng Yueying couldn't help but ask: "Dean, do you think we can win this time?"

The other party seemed to think about it, and after a moment of silence he replied: "Victory or defeat is not decided, anything is possible."

And when everyone around her left, Chen Xinyan stood alone on the edge of the cliff, her light words floating in the wind:

But in the final analysis, what is the difference between a "miserable victory" and a "miserable defeat"?
