Chapter 541, in front is the military factory in Xinfu City
The corpses dispersed, and the whole street was empty.
Everyone''s eyes widened, and they gradually became frightened and uneasy in surprise and suspicion.
Ordinary zombies don’t have the intelligence to avoid gunfire.
There must be high-level zombies giving orders to these ordinary zombies.
But... even the zombie commander cannot command so many zombies at the same time.
The most likely possibility is that there are higher-level zombies in the dark.
“Stay alert, the drone will go around and take a look.”
Orders came from the walkie-talkie.
??The muzzle of the armored vehicle is facing forward, and the machine gunners are fully focused, with their fingers tightened on the trigger, ready to deal with sudden dangers at any time.
Two drones took to the sky.
Going around the building in front, he checked the situation of the corpses.
“The swarms of corpses are moving. They are moving where we can’t see them, and they want to surround us from both sides.”
??On the intercom, the voice reporting was a little trembling.
The group of tens of thousands of corpses has a command.
This is a terrifying fighting force.
“Terminate the mission, turn around and exit.” The commander issued the order again.
The vehicle started instantly and moved backwards.
At the same time, the convoy turned around and planned to leave directly.
The group of corpses behind the building seemed to be boiling, and there was an ear-splitting roar in an instant.
“Speed ??up and get out.”
Tap tap tap~!
The sound of intensive running sounded.
A large number of corpses began to pour out of the paths on both sides.
The roads were crowded with darkness, like water flowing from a flood.
?Bang bang bang~!
?Gunshots and cannons rang out again, and bullets poured out like a torrential rain, hitting the zombies'' bodies and splashing black blood.
There is no need to aim, just shoot the bullet forward and it will hit the zombie''s body.
For a time, under heavy firepower, zombies fell to the ground and died in droves.
Hurrah!
The glass shattered, and countless zombies jumped from above.
Smashed on the roof of the car and around the convoy.
The car body shook violently, and the speed of reversing was once again hindered. Zombies poured out from both sides and rear crazily, crashing into the convoy.
咚~!
咚咚~!
Off-road vehicles and trucks were knocked over by the corpses.
The steel bars of the car windows fell off, and corpses poured into the interior, clawing and biting.
A car was overwhelmed by the corpses and collapsed instantly.
"Charge out, rush out first." The orders were still being issued.
Hums and gunfire echoed in the streets.
Two armored vehicles, with their bodies covered with zombies, broke out of the siege.
Go away in the direction from which you came.
The group of corpses chased for a certain distance, then stopped and watched the armored vehicle leave from a distance.
…
“Is anyone else out? Hey, please reply when you receive it.”
??The walkie-talkie asked several questions one after another, but no response was received.
The armored vehicle also fell into silence.
Out of more than 20 modified vehicles, only two armored vehicles escaped from it relying on their heavy defense.
All other vehicles, without exception, lost contact.
There is actually no need to say much about what this means.
When it came out, everyone thought about this result.
But now that it has actually appeared, it is still hard to accept.
There was silence for a long time.
Someone then spoke softly, "How did the Xinfu City base do it?"
“Perhaps, they are lucky, they are just ordinary corpses.”
“Maybe!”
“The corpse group did not follow us, so we should return to the base and report the matter to the commander-in-chief and others.”
The armored vehicle accelerated again and headed towards the base.
At the back, a figure like a giant beetle fell from the sky, looking in the direction of the convoy from a distance.
…
Treasure Island, Association.
Knocked on the door. After hearing the response, he opened the door and walked in.
Sheila Gui was the only one in the room, sitting behind the desk sorting documents.
“Looking for me?” Wu Heng asked.
Come back from the zombie world.
Minnie then said that Sheila Gui had arranged for staff to look for him. Seeing that it was still early, she came over in a carriage to have a look.
Sheila Gui raised her head and glanced at him, took out a hair tie to tie up her loose hair, and then said: "Call a staff member to come in."
“Oh.” Wu Heng opened the door and called a staff member who was passing by.
“Island owner, butler!” The staff saluted.
Sheila Ge said: "Go and call the two new sub-deacons."
"yes!"
The staff member answers and leaves.
??Wu Heng looked at Sheila Gui with some curiosity, "Is the deputy deacon here?"
“One arrived last night, and the other arrived at noon today.”
“How is it? Is it great?”
The difficulties facing Treasure Island are still considerable, and combat effectiveness is very important.
“They are all level 12 professionals, one human and one dwarf, all transferred from outside. I don’t know exactly what they are. Let’s see later!” Sheela Gui replied.
Level 12 is already considered a high level.
It is still placed in a place like Treasure Island.
From outside, they are all levels that can serve as deacons.
?While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
?The door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing leather armor and a sword hanging on his waist walked in.
Age over 40, with short hair and clear facial contours.
“Butler!” The man saluted slightly.
Xilagui nodded and introduced: "This is the owner of Treasure Island, Mr. Wu Heng, the flag bearer of the Emerald Sea."
The man looked at Wu Heng, still a little surprised in his eyes.
?Perhaps I didn’t expect that the island owner and flag bearer would be such a young human being.
“Tevsey City—Skeeter, I have met the island owner.” The middle-aged man saluted slightly again.
“Welcome to Treasure Island.” Wu Heng smiled and nodded.
“Thank you, sir.”
Then, the door was knocked again.
Another dwarf wearing scale armor and a battle ax hanging on his waist walked in.
The body is stocky and strong, and the exposed arms are exaggerated muscles.
?Short hair, deep brows, and a long beard.
??The beard is very well groomed and has a beard buckle inlaid with rubies.
Sheila Gui introduced directly, "Dwarf Tribe-Gadein, level 12 dwarf warrior."
Then he introduced to the other side, "Wu Heng, the owner of Treasure Island and the flag bearer of the Emerald Sea."
“My lord, the owner of the island.”
“Welcome to Treasure Island.”
The two of them greeted each other and looked at each other''s outfits curiously.
Xilagui continued: "Let''s get to know each other, so that we can take care of whatever we do on the island in the future."
“Yes, deacon.” The two sub-deacons nodded.
“Okay, you go ahead and arrange your accommodation, and then come to the association to formally join the company.”
"yes."
The two of them saluted again and left the study directly.
There were two people left in the study again, and Sheila Gui asked: "How is it?"
“Very good, looks quite stable and reliable.”
Sheila Gui raised her eyebrows and said, "When you put it this way, you are much more stable than when we joined the company."
When Imiro was in charge of the association, the whole association had a younger feel.
?Wu Heng is not that old, and Xila Gui is just an adult among the elves, especially she still has a childlike appearance.
?The entire association seems to give people a youthful feel.
??This time there are two subdeacons, one is in his 40s, his eyes show vicissitudes of life, and the other has a beard longer than his hair.
The atmosphere of the association suddenly entered the middle age.
?Wu Heng stood up, poured himself a cup of elven scented tea, and then asked, "How is your sister?"
"She''s basically fine. She was just scared." Sheila Gui paused for a moment and then said, "I wanted her to return to the clan, but she didn''t agree."
When Shi Yali was killed, Xilagui regretted letting her come to Treasure Island from her clan. Now that she is fine, I am probably worried about any danger in the future and plan to send her back.
“Don’t worry about it!”
“Maybe, I’ll talk to her again in the next two days.”
?Wu Heng returned to his position and sat down, "I will continue to strengthen the defense on the island, and it will be safer later."
“I believe you, but it’s better for Shi Yali to go back.”
"You sisters can just discuss it." Wu Heng didn''t persuade him much.
The two sat in the study and chatted for a while.
The association also started to close get off work.
?Xila Gui and Wu Heng walked out of the association together and returned to their respective residences.
…
Back to the manor, dinner has been served on the table.
Andweil said: "Mr. Yousef said that the new area will be completed this month. Recently, many people have come to the island to inquire about houses and shops. Should we sell them in advance?"
?Yousef is the name of the dwarf designer.
Last time we mentioned that the expansion area was about to be completed.
It is indeed time to sell it to others.
“Okay, let’s divide the area and price first, and then sell it when you’re ready!” Wu Heng said.
“Okay, then I’ll go back and make arrangements.” Anderweil nodded.
“By the way, there are also those special skeletons in the courtyard. In the past few days, we have arranged for them to set up street lights along the road so that people can cooperate.”
“Okay, Master.”
After dinner, several people entered the training room for training together.
Wait until the sky gets dark, then return to the room to rest.
…
Zombie World, provincial rescue team base.
In the dark room, an oval conference table is placed in the center.
People kept taking their seats one after another with serious expressions.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a long green coat walked in quickly, glanced at everyone, and said: "I think everyone already knows about the team''s failure to return."
?Everyone’s eyes flashed, but no one spoke.
??The middle-aged man said again: "Based on the information from the returning personnel, we may have encountered zombies at the level of zombie kings. They can control large-scale zombie groups, issue unified orders, and have extremely high intelligence."
As soon as these words came out, there was a slight discussion below.
“It can’t be such a coincidence, the Corpse King has only been heard of at the main station.”
“Yes, we just entered the city and we met the Corpse King?”
“The Xinfu City base entered the city and occupied the airport, but why didn’t we meet the Corpse King?”
“I heard reports from Xinfu City and the main station about the appearance and characteristics of the Corpse King, and I may have met him before.”
“How is it possible!”
The first commander-in-chief patted the table and said, "Quiet."
Everyone fell silent and looked at each other again.
“Whether Xinfu City encountered the Corpse King or not has nothing to do with us. We suffered serious losses this time. We need to redistribute tasks and form a new team. At the same time, we will mark the area specially to prevent people from getting close to it.”
Everyone nodded to show their understanding.
The loss is indeed huge, but the problem is not big either.
As long as the base is still there, we can continue to exchange food with Xinfu City.
It will not shake the foundation.
Tap tap tap~!
As he spoke, rapid footsteps sounded.
A person rushed in and said: "A large number of corpses were found outside the camp. The number is increasing continuously. I can''t count how many there are."
Everyone in the conference room stood up suddenly, with disbelief in their eyes.
?Some people suddenly realized, "It''s not that the convoy escaped, but that they deliberately released the convoy to find us."
“Go out and have a look~!”
Everyone quickly left the room, speeding up their pace and climbing up the wall.
Under the silvery white moonlight, you can vaguely see countless figures swaying back and forth, not attacking, just standing there in the distance.
??And more figures continued to gather towards the position of the corpses.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
The number is too many, tens of thousands? Or more.
?Thousands of people can fill a street, and there is no end in sight.
“Each squadron continues to defend and uses all available weapons.”
“The rear organized people and personnel to evacuate. Vehicles took scientific researchers, engineering personnel, and children under 14 years old to leave. The general public evacuated in the second batch, and the remaining people evacuated in the third batch.”
The order was issued, and the entire camp instantly became chaotic.
The crowd began to board the prepared trucks.
Some people are carrying food and some necessary supplies.
The two sides faced off for about 20 minutes.
A deafening roar suddenly sounded.
?The corpses roared in unison.
?Then, the waves began to attack forward, like a torrent, the turbulence was difficult to resist.
“Attack~!”
Swish, swish, swish!
Hands of grenades passed over from above and smashed into the group of corpses.
A violent explosion sounded, and flames shot into the sky.
Then there was intensive gunfire, and countless guns and bullets poured down from the wall.
A large number of zombies were knocked to the ground, tripping up more enemies.
??However, the tide of corpses continued to flow, filling up in the blink of an eye. The trenches dug in advance broke through the barriers and roadblocks, and rushed towards the location of the wall.
There were violent crashes and roars.
“Commander-in-Chief, you can evacuate.”
“Let’s withdraw.”
All soldiers quickly boarded the truck and left quickly.
?Hum, boom, boom~!
??A deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and the entire base was covered in explosions and fire.
The zombies that poured into the city were instantly overwhelmed by the fire.
…
The sound of the explosion was deafening, and the whole city was like a box of flash bombs.
The firelight illuminates the entire area.
“Blow them up, these **** monsters.”
“That **** Corpse King, if he entered the city, he would definitely be dead too.”
“What a pity our base is.”
??Everyone looked at the city in flames and whispered.
Hahhhhhh~!
As he was speaking, rapid footsteps appeared behind him again.
Densely packed zombies were running from a distance again.
Everyone’s expressions suddenly changed.
Someone picked up the walkie-talkie in a panic and reported: "Report, a large number of corpses have appeared in the rear again, and they are chasing after the convoy."
In the intercom, there was silence for a while.
The voice of inquiry rang out, “Where does this road lead?”
"Ahead is the military factory in Xinfu City. Here..., if we go all the way down, they will also suffer disaster."
The commander-in-chief narrowed his eyes slightly.
“We can’t stop the car, so let’s notify them in advance and let them evacuate in advance.”
"good!"
…
Xinfu City, military factory.
The sound of electric current came from the radio station.
“Provincial and district rescue teams, call the provincial and district military factories in Xinfu City.”
??Standing in front of the radio station, the dozing woman shivered violently, picked up the microphone and immediately replied, "This is the Xinfu City Military Factory. Please speak to the provincial and district rescue teams."
"The provincial rescue team base has been captured by a group of corpses. Our convoy is retreating along Tianhua Road, followed by a large number of corpses. In half an hour, it will pass through the area of ??your military factory. Please be prepared in advance."
The woman who was still confused suddenly woke up and said, "Wait a moment, I will inform the leader."
Then, he took out the charging walkie-talkie and shouted: "Emergency, the provincial rescue team is approaching us with a large number of corpses. We still have half an hour at most."
“Wait, let’s go there now.”
?There was a sound of rapid footsteps, and five or six people rushed into the radio station room.
The woman immediately told what had just happened.
?One of them picked up the microphone and said: "Provincial rescue team, what are you doing to us? Take a detour to get rid of them."
From the radio station, a low voice came, "I''m sorry, we entered this road when we evacuated. Unless we stop, we can only move forward along the road."
“Grass, aren’t you cheating on me?”
There was no sound coming from the intercom and it started to remain silent.
Everyone in the room looked ugly. It was not easy to occupy this base. Now they live well and can use electricity 24 hours a day. They have basically returned to their previous lives.
But now the rescue team actually leads the corpses here, which is simply trying to harm people.
"What to do? The leader is not here, and Sister Qi went to Xinfu City with the convoy in the afternoon."
“Damn it, those rescue teams can’t save people, but they can’t help but deceive them.”
“Let’s retreat first and take the people out of here first.”
