Chapter 63 One person! One city!
"Retreat, retreat!"
Lieutenant General Lin held a pager and yelled at all the commanders below.
The attack of the mutated zombies made the army completely lose its advantage. In the absence of other weapons with a large range of lethality like missiles, bullets have no effect on those mutated zombies except for low-level zombies.
Two hundred awakened ones might be able to fight against the mutated zombies, but there are too many mutated zombies. If the battle continues, the ace army may be in danger of being wiped out.
The ace troops are the current top strength of the Sanctuary. If they all die here, then there will be no hope for the Sanctuary!
The plan to stop the tide of corpses has failed, and the only way now is to retreat to the shelter and use the shelter's existing defense system to fight the tide of corpses to the death!
All the troops got into the cars one after another. Although everyone was terrified, they retreated in an orderly manner.
Unlike the previous advance troops, this retreat was covered by the firepower of more than 20 armed helicopters and tanks, and everyone could escape quickly and rush towards the shelter.
Ordinary soldiers first, then the Awakened troops, and finally tanks and helicopters.
The army quickly retreated to the rear, and the terrifying tide of corpses came surging like a tsunami.
At this time, suddenly, there was a roar like thunder from the corpse tide, and a mutant zombie suddenly soared into the air, and the whole body jumped directly into the sky. At this moment, its mouth opened suddenly, its tongue stretched out like rubber, and then it passed through the glass directly in front of a helicopter.
The pilot was directly pushed to death on the seat, and the plane lost control at this moment and fell straight from the sky.
"boom!"
The plane fell into the tide of corpses and exploded violently. The strong flames tore all the nearby zombies into pieces in an instant, but within a few seconds, they were submerged.
Looking at the helicopter that fell, everyone was stunned. Because the person sitting in the helicopter is the commander-in-chief of this operation, Lieutenant General Lin.
"General!"
At this moment, countless people shed tears.
But at this time, even if there is endless sadness in my heart, I can only suppress it in my heart. They must hurry back to the shelter, which is the last stand.
At the same time as the army was retreating, the headquarters of the refuge also received the news, and everyone fell silent.
The task of stopping the tide of corpses has failed, and everyone has no way out.
Not long after, the gate opened, and the retreating soldiers quickly poured into the shelter. All were pale and emaciated.
Facing the terrifying tide of corpses, everyone felt a deep sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
In the process of retreating just now, almost half of the soldiers were submerged by the tide of corpses. Now there are only more than 600 of the more than 1,000 soldiers, and more than 50 of the awakened ones died.
At this time, Commander Luo and Commander Guan, accompanied by several lieutenant generals, had already boarded the city wall.
Looking up, the sky and the earth are clear and clear, and there are no clouds in the sky. However, the mass of black corpses in the sky was like a big stone, pressing down on everyone's hearts, making them breathless.
At this moment, Commander Luo's hunched back was as straight as a javelin, and there was an aura of calmness in front of him. He quietly watched the tide of corpses less than two kilometers away from the refuge, his expression unchanged.
"How many rockets are there?"
"Not much more!" Guan Zhonghua said with a gloomy face and clenched fists, "The disaster came too suddenly. We didn't have much weapon reserves. Most of the existing reserves have been used up to clean up the zombies in the shelter. Only less than half!"
Commander Luo nodded, squinting his eyes and said: "It seems that we are really fighting to the death. The minefield has not been completed yet, but it should be able to hold them back for a while. We don't have much time, we must stop the tide of corpses before In the minefield, otherwise, we will really lose!"
"Understood!" Guan Zhonghua nodded vigorously and said.
"Commander Guan, go and evacuate the refugees in the base. If necessary, activate the final defense and close the air-raid shelter!" Commander Luo ordered to Commander Guan.
Commander Guan was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes!"
Although the two of them fought endlessly, Commander Luo was ultimately the supreme commander in times of crisis.
"You are responsible for your respective defense nodes, no mistakes are allowed. Be sure to defend!" "Yes!"
Commander Luo looked calm, and issued orders in an orderly manner. This calm demeanor infected everyone present. Everyone gradually calmed down and stuck to their posts.
The tide of corpses two kilometers away quickly rushed to the shelter. The first wave of sniping they encountered was a minefield.
The minefield has not been fully laid out, but its function is still there. At the moment when the tide of corpses poured in, countless landmines exploded instantly, and the huge shock wave directly blew away all the zombies in the front. At this moment, Commander Luo quietly looked at the tide of corpses in front of him, and ordered: "Launch!"
Just as the sound fell, hundreds of rockets were fired at the base at the same time, dragging a long and narrow flame, rushing into the tide of corpses roaring.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The earth-shattering explosion seemed to tear the entire world apart. Countless rockets exploded at the same time, and the huge energy spread rapidly in a hemisphere, causing the entire earth to tremble slightly.
In an instant, when he opened his eyes, the entire wave of corpses was instantly torn apart by this round of bombardment, and a large number of low-level zombies were killed one after another. The number of corpses disappeared by one-third at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The power of the rockets is terrifying, but after this round of salvo, there are not many left, and it will take a certain amount of time to reload the ammunition, so during this period of time, there is no rocket attack .
Although the number of zombies has decreased a lot, most of the dead are just low-level zombies. A large number of low-level zombies were wiped out, and the truly terrifying side of the zombie wave was finally revealed.
In the turbulent tide of corpses, countless mutated zombies rushed out of it. Each of them looks strange, some are extremely tall, like giants, and some are all wrapped in bones, like demons.
These mutated zombies began to speed up, impacting, like a vanguard in a war, riding a horse, like a sharp knife, directly piercing the enemy's abdomen.
"Not good!" Commander Luo's face changed, and he exclaimed.
He didn't expect that there would be so many mutated zombies in the tide of corpses. Although the minefield blocked them for a while, and the next wave of rockets hadn't been loaded yet, these mutated zombies had already rushed out of the minefield.
Their speed suddenly became extremely fast, leaving those low-level zombies far behind.
On the watchtower behind the city wall, dozens of heavy weapons are roaring crazily, and countless bullets are pouring down, forming a terrifying metal storm.
However, bullets are no longer effective for these mutated zombies.
A large number of mutated zombies fell, but more mutated zombies had already rushed to the outside of the city wall.
Everything has reached the most critical moment.
At the same time, a large number of refugees entered the air-raid shelter in batches under the transport of Guan Zhonghua and the others.
And in a difficult place, Xia Ke, Ling Wenwen and the others have already gathered together. In such a chaotic situation, it is not easy for everyone to find each other.
However, at this moment, the joy of reunion has been overwhelmed by fear. Everyone is at a loss and full of despair about the future.
At this moment, they suddenly saw a familiar figure rushing towards them through the crowd.
It's Cao Silong.
His leg injury is still not healed, and he is still on crutches, so he didn't go to the front line to fight, but hid in the air-raid shelter with everyone.
However, at this moment, his face was full of anxiety.
"You guys, have you seen Duan Fei?" He ran to the side of the crowd and asked loudly.
"Duan Fei!" Xia Ke was slightly taken aback, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
"No, we haven't seen Brother Duan, could it be that Brother Duan is gone!" Hearing the news that I was missing, Ling Wenwen suddenly became nervous.
"You haven't seen it yet?" Cao Silong reconfirmed.
"No!" Everyone shook their heads.
Seeing everyone's expressions that didn't seem to be lying, Cao Silong's face suddenly darkened, and he turned his head quickly. There was still fierce fighting on the city wall, and the worry on his face turned into panic.
"Damn it!" Cao Silong roared. Just now he found that several sabers disappeared from the arsenal, and he seemed to have guessed something in his heart.
At the same time, the battle to defend the refuge had reached its worst point. The unfinished city wall, which was attacked by a large number of mutated zombies, was already crumbling.
"Commander, hurry up, it's almost impossible to hold this place!" A young soldier was pulling Commander Luo, trying to drag him off the city wall.
However, Commander Luo looked calm, his body did not waver in the slightest, and there was a trace of determination in his eyes.
"Commander!" Seeing that Commander Luo did not leave, the little soldier's eyes turned red. As for the other soldiers who were fighting, their eyes were red with blood, tears welled up in their eyes, and they frantically pulled the trigger.
At this moment, suddenly a mutated zombie soared into the sky and rushed directly to the city wall.
Its ability is to jump, and it can easily cross the barriers of the city wall.
After it rushed up, it rushed straight towards Commander Luo, its big mouth was already open, and in the next moment, it could directly bite off Commander Luo's neck.
"commander!"
Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone shouted frantically, but it was too late for them to rescue.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden burst of cracking sound in the air. A saber cut through the sky like a bullet, directly hitting the mutated zombie's head, nailing him to the wall.
"Duan, little brother Duan Fei, why is it you!" Seeing Duan Fei appearing on the city wall, Commander Luo asked in disbelief, his mind still a little confused.
At that moment just now, he was ready to die calmly, but he didn't expect to be rescued by Duan Fei at this critical moment.
Duan Fei had flying black hair, several sharp sabers stuck in his waist, and Jin Bao lay quietly on his shoulders, his eyes had turned red.
This is a sign of readiness for battle.
Duan Fei pulled the sword from the zombie, smiled slightly at Commander Luo, and said, "Commander, you and I form an alliance, how could I let you die like this! Next, leave it to me..."
"Duan Fei, what stupid words are you talking about, how could you..."
Commander Luo just opened his mouth to curse, but Duan Fei directly interrupted his next words with his hand.
"Commander, don't worry, my strength is far beyond your imagination. Next, I need you to let the army cover me, corpse tide, I will deal with it!"
After finishing speaking, Duan Fei jumped off the city wall without waiting for Commander Luo to disagree.
"Jin Bao, are you ready?" Duan Fei clenched the saber tightly in his hand and growled in a low voice.
"Cuckoo, cluck!"
"I didn't expect that I would face the entire tide of corpses alone!" At this moment, Duan Fei showed a firm smile on his face, and he no longer hid his strength, and a terrifying aura erupted from him.
At dusk, zombies siege. Guns roared, and human beings fell into despair.
Duan Fei faced the entire wave of corpses by himself.
One person, one city!
