662. Night Falls, Zombies Siege The City
When darkness covers the land.
In the MC world, the only bright things left are Red Stone Technology City and the moon in the sky.
The dense forest in the distance stretched into a black thread. It was hard to see clearly, but it seemed like a wave, rushing towards the Red Stone Technology City.
Jiang Xuan gave Ningguang a look, and the latter nodded.
He took a step forward and said loudly:
"Beacon, turn on!"
The next moment, dense rays of light soared into the sky from Hongshi Science and Technology City.
The brilliant white light illuminated the entire wilderness.
Before everyone had time to sigh at the grand occasion of so many beacons being turned on at the same time, the scene in the distance suddenly made everyone take a breath of cold air.
Even if you have tried your best to imagine the dangers of zombie siege.
But seeing it with my own eyes was still a bit unexpected and shocking.
Between the sky and the earth, there are mountains and plains. As far as you can see, there is nothing there.
There are only densely packed zombies with blood-red eyes, like a dense sea of stars in the dark night.
Roaring sounds came one after another, surrounding Hongshi Technology City.
Viewed from the sky, Hongshi Technology City is besieged by zombie waves from all directions.
Redstone Technology City is like an isolated island in the sea, facing a black wave that is ready to swallow it up at any time.
"This amount...isn't it a bit outrageous! This is the first day!"
Wendy didn't care about it, and she clenched the weapon in her hand with an ugly expression.
Based on his rough estimate, the number of zombies on this side was estimated to be tens of thousands. Wendy didn't dare to calculate the exact number.
But it is obviously not a small number of ten thousand or twenty thousand.
"Southwest, report the situation."
Zhongli took a deep breath, took over the communication command, and asked in a deep voice.
"On the east side, the number is estimated to be more than 20,000."
"On the west side, the number of zombies is estimated to be more than 10,000."
"On the south side... it's estimated to be around 40,000!"
Listening to other people's reports, Zhongli felt somewhat relieved.
"A conservative estimate is that there are more than 100,000 zombies attacking today?"
Zhongli rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little worried.
One hundred thousand zombies, to be honest, are not very dangerous.
It's just that there are more of them. With the power of the city defenders, they can be wiped out in minutes. Even if it doesn't work, there will be nothing left when the sun shines the next day.
B......
What if there are this number of zombies every day for the last seven days?
That's not what trouble can be described as.
If you don't do it right, you'll be devoured by zombies in minutes.
Redstone Science and Technology City is also barren of grass.
"Are you sure?"
Jiang Xuan saw Zhongli's melancholy and asked softly.
"If it was a few days ago, no problem. As for the last evolution..."
Zhongli was silent for a moment, shook his head and said:
"I can only say that it depends on luck."
Jiang Xuan didn't say much, nodded and said:
"It's all on you."
Zhongli stopped talking and calmly commanded:
"The zombie wave crosses the first line of defense, and the redstone cannon creates a bombing zone. The zombie wave crosses the second line of defense, and the redstone cannon and RPG bomb freely."
"The zombie wave crossed the third line of defense, and machine gunners opened fire."
"Once there are zombies approaching the city, throw out the healing potion immediately! At other times, save ammunition."
"If you don't take the initiative, we'll postpone it until tomorrow morning!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were explosions from all directions.
The zombies on the first day, or the zombies in the first seven days, were not difficult to deal with, it was just that there were a lot of them.
Now the gates of Redstone Technology City are blocked with obsidian. Zombies who don't know how to dig cannot break through the gates.
If it is delayed until the next day, no matter how many zombies there are, they will be burned by the sun.
The zombies in the first seven days are just to familiarize everyone with the rhythm of zombie siege.
After the blood moon arrives and the zombies evolve, that's when the real war begins.
Now, the most worrying thing is that the number of zombie attacks every night is almost the same as now.
That was really a shame.
Ants will bite an elephant to death, let alone zombies.
Liuyun and others have arranged for Qianyan's army to bomb the place with the largest zombie wave.
Jiang Xuan looked at it quietly for a while and said softly:
"There's no problem tonight, it's just a matter of procrastination."
Zhongli nodded, but said with some worry:
"The number of zombie sieges was beyond my imagination. I thought there were only tens of thousands every night.
"If there are so many, we simply don't have enough supplies!"
"Especially thermal weapons ammunition"
"The resources currently in stock cannot last for forty-nine days at all. Without ammunition, if the army fights zombies in close combat, death will be certain."
With that said, Zhongli looked at Ningguang. Ningguang was in charge of the logistics for this city defense battle.
The latter frowned, thought for a while, and said softly:
"There are still a lot of supplies in the major bases in Liyue. Bring them all here. It should be enough to use them sparingly."
"Tomorrow during the day, I will send people to bring the supplies. In addition, we have a lot of lucky cubes."
"Originally I wanted to save it for later, but now..."
"We can only take it out first and let Gan Yu open some to gather resources."
Zhongli thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"Okay, just do it."
After saying that, Zhongli turned his head and looked down.
Although the artillery fire is intensive, for such a number of zombies, if it were not for the intensive and continuous bombing, there would basically be no obstruction.
In the blink of an eye, many zombies approached the city.
Zhongli patiently observed Pianke and noticed that the zombies just stayed on the ground and did not dig into the wall. They looked up blankly at the city wall.
Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, stop firing temporarily and pay attention to the damage caused by zombies to the city wall.
After a while, the hustle and bustle of Redstone Technology City temporarily subsided, leaving only the roar of zombies.
Zhongli waited quietly for the summons from the others. After a while, he confirmed that these zombies really couldn't dig through the wall.
It's just that there are too many piles, and sometimes zombies will climb up towards the city wall.
After thinking for a moment, Zhongli continued:
"Give up fire coverage and take turns to guard and observe. There is no need to attack zombies, just make sure they cannot enter the city."
"Wait until the sun comes up tomorrow morning and burn them clean."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Since these zombies will not destroy blocks [there is no need to waste resources.
Just wait for the sun.
TNT and thermal weapon ammunition are not blown by strong winds either.
The situation tonight was indeed a bit sensational when we first saw the zombies. After all, such a number was unheard of.
However, everyone was relieved after realizing that these zombies were pretty much the same as usual, with no special characteristics that had evolved.
Although there are many of them, it is of no use if they cannot enter the Red Stone Technology City.
Just wait until daytime arrives and go down to pick up materials.
On the first day of the zombie siege, I just fought for a while and found that there was nothing to worry about.
Simply, everyone does not intend to stay here any longer.
Jiang Xuan watched for a while, then took Ningguang and others back towards the city lord's mansion.
Randomly said:
"You can take care of the rest. I won't care. These zombies won't change much in the first seven days. These seven days are still a calm period.
"You can think carefully about how to create defensive measures."
As he said this, Jiang Xuan suddenly paused, as if he thought of something.
"I almost forgot one thing. No matter how evolved these zombies are, they still have the characteristics of zombies.
"In other words, they react very violently to life."
"Sometimes, it's better to block things than to open them up..."
Jiang Xuan said nothing more and left with Ningguang and others.
With Zhongli's wisdom, he naturally didn't need to ask for anything, he knew exactly what to do.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Xuan left, Zhongli's eyes lit up and he instantly understood what to do.
Mandrill looked at Zhongli doubtfully.
"Emperor, what does Mr. Jiang Xuan mean?"
"It's better to block than to open up."
Zhongli chuckled and repeated.
Mandrill became more and more confused.
After taking a look at the densely packed zombies below, Zhongli looked away, shook his head and said:
'."Sometimes, the effect of blindly blocking is very poor, just like controlling floods. Do you think it is better to blindly block it, or to properly dredge it?"
Mandrill said thoughtfully:
"If we blindly block floods to control floods, it is very likely that the embankment will eventually collapse and completely collapse. However, if it is properly dredged, the pressure on other areas will be much less."
Zhong Li looked at Mandrill quietly, and the latter suddenly understood.
"Emperor, what Mr. Jiang Xuan means... is that you want us to appropriately release the containment of Hongshi Technology City?"
Zhongli nodded slightly.
"Although there are many zombies now, they cannot dig city walls."
"If they later learn to destroy blocks and blindly block them, our army will be in a hurry and defense lines will be everywhere."
"But what if we open some containment areas on our own?"
"With a gap and obvious attraction of life, zombies will rush toward the gap, and the damage to the blocks will be greatly reduced.
"And we can make traps in the gaps according to the way of making monster spawning towers."
"Let zombies fall into the traps in large batches. In this way, a large number of zombies can be eliminated in the safest and most secure way and relieve the pressure from all sides.
Everyone suddenly understood, and Mandrill quickly praised:
"The emperor is wise. When daylight comes, I will tell the army to dig traps and clear the city wall.
Wendy blinked and said curiously:
"But if that's the case, old man...why don't we just dig a gully trap (Zhao Qian's) outside the city wall that's deep enough to kill zombies instantly?"
Before Zhongli could answer, Diluc said in a deep voice:
"Do you know how big the Red Stone Technology City is? How many manpower and time are needed to dig out the traps surrounding the entire Red Stone Technology City?"
"Even if there is a chain collection, it will not take a month to complete."
"Besides, these zombies will evolve, and then put on armor. If the height doesn't kill them, they can reconnect and dig a passage under the trap to reach the lost city."
"The gain outweighs the loss, there is no need to do such a thing."
Wendy curled her lips and muttered:
"Then digging the gap and clearing it can kill all the zombies? Isn't it still the same truth?"
Qin held her forehead and sighed with some shame.
"Wendy...have you ever considered that we can actually arrange for someone to be responsible for harvesting the remaining blood servants down there?"
"We can even pour magma and burn all the zombies to death?"
Wendy was a little embarrassed, pursed her lips, and wanted to say something else.
Rosalin on the side rolled her eyes.
"Don't tell me that you can dig traps outside and fill them with lava. I will despise your IQ.
"Not to mention that we have to fill the magma under Hongshi Technology City, and the magma reserve is running out.
"Have you considered how many barrels of magma are needed to dig a trap around the city and fill it with magma?"
"This is a city, not a villa."
Wendy smiled and saw Qin and others glaring at him, and Wendy definitely took it for granted.
Decisively shut up and say nothing. .
