#97 - Chapter 97 Someone sneaked into the headquarters
After entering the tank formation, the leading Tier 3 zombie let out a deafening roar. Several Tier 2 zombies beside it seemed to receive a command, splitting into two groups and leading a portion of the zombies towards the mountain on either side.
“Damn it! Do zombies have intelligence? They even know how to divide their forces?”
The soldiers in the trenches on both sides of the mountain instantly felt their hair stand on end.
Zombies aren't scary; zombies with intelligence are!
They didn't dare hesitate and began attacking the heads of the zombies charging up the mountain.
Waves of zombies fell, and waves of zombies continued to advance.
They climbed too fast, and soon, zombies were infiltrating the trenches.
On the road, the three special forces regiments, although protected by combat suits, did not suffer any casualties. However, the combat power of the Tier 3 zombies was simply too strong, and the weapons in their hands had no effect. Soon, they were forced out of the tank zone.
“Retreat! Everyone retreat to the second line of defense!”
The division commanders of each division issued retreat orders through the intercom.
The soldiers retreated from the trenches and ran towards the troop carriers behind the mountain.
The soldiers who hadn't had time to retreat from the trenches were quickly submerged in the zombie tidal wave.
After the bombing of artillery shells and the obstruction of the first line of defense, one-third of the zombies also died.
Every tank was surrounded by zombies, frantically attacking, but unable to penetrate the thick armor. As soon as the tank moved, it threw the zombies off, and those who moved slowly were crushed by the tracks.
At the same time, news of the first line of defense quickly returned to the military headquarters.
“Report, Commander, the first line of defense has been breached by zombies. Currently, the main force is retreating to the second line of defense. Zombies have entered the infantry positions, and it is estimated that more than 2,000 soldiers have been killed or bitten.”
“There is another situation: the leading zombies have extremely strong attack power, and they seem to possess intelligence and can withstand our heavy firepower!”
“Could it be Tier 3 zombies?” Yan Fangfang said suspiciously after hearing the report.
“Tier 3 zombies?” Yan Zhengping heard this for the first time.
“That's right. Boss told us during training that the skin of Tier 2 zombies will develop calluses. The callused skin is extremely hard and can withstand ordinary bullets. However, it still can't withstand the attack of more powerful artillery shells. But Tier 3 zombies are different. Not only is their skin more resilient than Tier 2 zombies, but they also possess a certain level of intelligence. Judging from the situation reported just now, the leading zombies are likely Tier 3 zombies,” Yan Fangfang explained.
“Zombies can also advance?” Yan Zhengping was dumbfounded.
“That's right!” Yan Fangfang replied affirmatively.
“No wonder Zong Zhengyue said that the future war is a war of mutants. If Tier 3 zombies can withstand even heavy firepower, what about higher-tier zombies? I can't imagine!” Yan Zhengping suddenly thought of Zong Zhengyue's words and sighed.
“That sentence was probably said by the boss!” Yan Fangfang corrected.
“What exactly is this Xiao Chen? Why does he know so much?” Yan Zhengping couldn't understand.
This Dongfang Chen knew the characteristics of the virus from the very beginning, could predict the future ecological crisis, and knew the existence of high-tier zombies at the beginning of the virus outbreak, and understood the characteristics of zombies at each stage. This is simply unbelievable!
“To be honest, I don't know either. At the time, I just had a feeling that perhaps only he has the ability to deal with this ecological crisis,” Yan Fangfang said with emotion.
Yan Zhengping nodded and said nothing more.
It seems that he still needs to interact with Dongfang Chen more in the future.
“Orderly!”
“Here!”
“Issue orders to each division to concentrate their firepower to eliminate ordinary zombies while ensuring their own safety. Order the three special forces regiments to use the advantages of their combat suits to attract the attention of high-tier zombies, not necessarily to eliminate them, but to entangle them, buying time for other divisions to eliminate ordinary zombies.”
“Also, add that if they cannot eliminate all the zombies, they should retreat to the military headquarters as soon as possible and must not defend to the death. Go!”
“Yes!”
“Commander, what do you mean?” Yan Fangfang asked.
“The soldiers of each division do not have the protection of combat suits. The approach of zombies will inevitably cause a large number of casualties. This is a huge loss that we cannot afford. Instead of doing this, it is better to withdraw to the military headquarters and use the defensive capabilities of the walls to block them,” Yan Zhengping explained.
Yan Fangfang nodded.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The father and daughter were talking in the office when they suddenly heard gunshots outside the door.
“What's going on?” Yan Zhengping frowned.
At this time, the zombies were advancing towards the second line of defense, and it was impossible for zombies to enter the military headquarters.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang ~”
The gunshots became denser. Because it was in the corridor, it triggered an echo of the gunshots.
“Commander, enemies have infiltrated the headquarters,” Rong Po hurriedly ran in to report.
“Are you sure it's people, not zombies?” Yan Zhengping asked.
“I'm sure. They move nimbly and don't look like zombies,” Rong Po said affirmatively.
“They are truly audacious! They dare to blatantly attack the headquarters! Let the Zhanfeng Commando try to capture them alive. I want to see what kind of monsters they are?” Yan Zhengping slammed the table in anger.
“Yes!” Rong Po took the order and left.
“You few, protect the commander here. The rest of you, follow me!” Rong Po quickly made arrangements after going out.
