Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 218 Trench

The weather in October was unbearably hot, and it reached its peak in the afternoon, with not even a breath of wind blowing.

In the wide area outside the West District, the sand and stones are burned by the sun, emitting a suffocating heat wave. Working in this environment is definitely the most difficult time, especially when there is no quiet sound of booming explosions in the ears.

The irritability is unbearable.

Zou Chengcheng was forty years old and definitely one of the oldest soldiers in the wasteland settlement. Years of training had made his skin dark and strong. He shoveled a stone hard and piled it on the edge of the trench. He has not forgotten it yet.

He took a puff of cigarette and exhaled a cloud of smoke. Just this action made him cough dryly. His throat, which was dry and on fire, was tossed by the smoke and became burning and painful during the coughing.

A clever young soldier next to him immediately took off the kettle from his waist, handed it to Zou Chengcheng, and said: "Team Wrinkle, hurry up and have a drink of water."

Zou Chengcheng took it and drank a few gulps before returning the kettle to the soldier, patted the soldier on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Gao, you're good, you're smart enough." He wiped the water stains on his neck.

, looking at the entire dusty construction area, cursed: "This kind of ghost weather makes it difficult for people to live in peace."

The soldier known as Xiao Gao fastened the kettle, patted the sand on the edge of the trench with an engineering shovel, and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking, why they let us stay here to repair this useless thing."

Fortifications? I see, rushing directly into the city and fighting the zombies is a battle."

Xiao Gao seemed to have thought of something, pointing to the small black dot-like fighter planes over the city and the giant airship, and said: "They are happy, they can fight freely. Oh, look at them, take a

Combat medals should be simple." He touched his chest and said: "Our ground troops are in such misery. We haven't even caught a single hair from the zombies. When will we get medals?

Take it?”

Facing Xiao Gao's complaint, Zou Chengcheng just kept laughing, and then said seriously: "Xiao Gao, remember our identities, we have no right to question the orders above. We only need to obey and obey again. Besides, you really

Do you think it is useless for us to build these fortifications here? You are wrong. I tell you responsibly that these fortifications will be able to ensure our safety."

Zou Chengcheng said: "You don't need to envy those pilots, hey, they can't experience the joy of combat. What's more, when it comes to getting medals, do you think the general who has won the most medals in that country is not the army? Xiao Gao

, it’s not difficult to get a medal. Just perform well and do something you can achieve, and I will help you apply for it when the time comes.”

Hearing Captain Zou's words, Xiao Gao became happy and worked hard to shovel shovelfuls of sand.

In the city, the fighter planes' performance continued, but their bombing targets were only large main roads. In some small streets and alleys, zombies were stimulated and surged out of the streets out of control, crossing the Ring Road.

appeared in front of the soldiers.

Zou Chengcheng's team was relatively close to the city, so when he saw the zombies pouring out, he immediately threw away the engineer shovel, put the gun he was carrying in his hand, and shouted: "Soldiers of the 107th formation, enter the battle

state!"

The 107th formation is exactly the number of Zou Chengcheng's team. The entire team of 150 people is not divided into squads, platoons, and companies. Instead, the 60,000 soldiers are divided into formations, with the positions of captain, deputy captain, and formation squad leader. Now I hear

Upon hearing Zou Chengcheng's roar, the entire 107th formation soldiers quickly threw away the engineering shovel and lay down on the trench with their guns, aiming at the zombies pouring out.

Zou Chengcheng carried his gun and walked behind the lying soldiers. From time to time, he would kick the soldiers who were in the wrong posture to correct their posture.

In the distance, due to the staged defense, the people of the 106th and 108th formations ignored the actions of the 107th formation and were still building their fortifications.

The trenches that have been built long ago are not deep, only about half a meter, and they are not very strong. They are just small trenches that were dug quickly. Each of these trenches is about ten meters apart, so there is no aesthetic feeling.

Appearing crookedly in this wasteland.

Zou Chengcheng walked behind Xiao Gao and said calmly: "Didn't you just say that these trenches are useless? Watch, you will know in a moment how useful these trenches are." He stared at the people pouring out and discovered the human soldiers.

The zombie sneered.

Dealing with zombies was not an ambush, nor was he afraid of arousing the enemy, so Zou Chengcheng visually measured the distance. At a distance of 200 meters, a soldier with accurate marksmanship could already hit the zombie's head six or seven times out of ten, so he

Without hesitation, he said: "Free fire." As he said that, he took aim with his gun. After a "bang" sound, among the group of running zombies, a bullet hole appeared in the head of a zombie rushing in front, and it pierced the head.

Fall down.

The soldiers who have been trained for more than half a year, and most of them are soldiers recruited from the former corpse hunters, are naturally better in marksmanship than the new recruits who know nothing.

According to the tactics taught by the instructors during training, it does not mean free shooting, where everyone randomly shoots at zombies, but one must decide whether to shoot based on one's own ability. This is free shooting in the apocalypse.

According to dogma, if you are not sure and are not sure, you are not allowed to shoot while saving bullets.

Despite this, there are many soldiers transformed from zombie hunters who have accurate marksmanship. After Zou Chengcheng, sporadic gunshots rang out, and the zombies running in groups fell down one by one and fell heavily to the sand.

A burst of sand and dust rose up from the rocks. The zombies behind them didn't care about this. After discovering humans, they were driven by instinct and only knew how to get closer and bite and devour them.

This wave of zombies rushing out of the streets was not that many, the number was estimated to be around a thousand, but it looked like a large area.

Not many people in the 150-man 107th Formation fired. They were all lying on the trench, watching the zombies coming up aggressively. Some soldiers who had experienced it were leisurely holding cigarettes in their mouths, taking a break to check the weapons in their hands.

For guns, from time to time you will pull out the magazine, look at the bullets inside, and then put it back.

For the nervous recruits next to them, these experienced veterans always looked disdainful and said: "Rookie, you are still more than a hundred meters away from us. Looking at your nervous look, are you feeling brave?" At this time,

, the recruits always say: "What if that jet monster shoots liquid?"

"Don't you have any brains? The launch distance of the jet monster is about 1,500 meters. If there were them in this zombie group, they would have been hit by balls of liquid long ago. Why are you waiting until now?" The veteran was still disdainful and said: "Rookies, zombies

You have to put it down to 5 or 60 meters before shooting. Do you think your marksmanship is as good as theirs?"

Naturally, they refer to the veterans who are shooting. Their ability is not comparable to that of the new recruits. They can always kill a zombie with one or two shots.

More than a thousand zombies poured out sporadically. After nearly a hundred were eliminated by soldiers with good marksmanship, they finally entered the first trench. Xiao Gao opened his eyes wide and saw only the zombies in the front row.

They were like blind men, turning a blind eye to the half-meter-deep trench. Without any pause, they just kept moving forward.

It is conceivable that these zombies fell directly into the half-meter-high trench without any preparation.

Since the trench was not deep, the zombies who fell in struggled to get up. However, the zombies behind did not know what was happening in front of them, so they kept rushing forward. Unfortunately, the zombies who fell first had not yet climbed up.

When I got up, I was crushed by the zombies behind me and was pinned under the trench.

Faced with this obstruction, the charging zombie group suddenly became a mess, pushing each other back and almost stagnating.

Xiao Gao opened his mouth and murmured: "So that's it!" At this time, these zombies were less than 60 meters away from the soldiers. At this distance, they were blocked by the trench and trying to hit their heads was much worse than during training.

Targets a hundred meters away are much easier. The biggest advantage is that they stand still and will not compress the distance from humans, giving the soldiers enough time to shoot.

Within a distance of 60 meters, even the rookies no longer hesitated and aimed at the zombies.

Intense gunshots rang out, and the zombies in front fell down one by one. They wanted to continue moving forward, but there were struggling zombies in the trench. The movement of these zombies greatly disturbed the zombies who wanted to move forward, and they were entangled in it.

In the ditch.

Thousands of zombies, for the 107 formation with 150 soldiers, were not enough to heat up the gun barrels, and they were all wiped out.

Xiao Gao, who had only fired fifteen shots, was still not finished. He said to Zou Chengcheng next to him: "Captain Zou, is it over like this?" Zou Chengcheng just smiled and said: "If it's not over like this, what else do you want?" He took a picture.

He patted Xiao Gao on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, there are a lot of zombies. This is just the beginning. More will come out later, and there may be high-level zombies that slip through the net."

Veterans like Zou Chengcheng certainly know that this is really just a warm-up.

At the latest, the day after tomorrow, we will enter a full-scale urban war. Then it will be the most cruel time. You never know whether there will be zombies suddenly rushing out from a certain corner. Think of the whole body with the hair down.

Bulletproof vest, but Zou Chengcheng couldn't be happy.

Yes, with this set of body armor, the captains like myself are safe, but what about the other ordinary soldiers?
