Chapter 42: Fierce Battle of the Great Zhou Internal Guards

Beep beep beep~

Beep beep~

As the lights-out whistle sounded, the survivors of Yezhou University ended their day and fell asleep one after another. The entire campus gradually became quiet except for the sentries at the gate of Building 22 and the parking lot.

Far away in Jingyang District on the other side of the city, the fierce sound of gunfire indicated that tonight would be another sleepless night.

The Internal Security Detachment, located on Fuxing Road on the south side of Jingyang District, has its headquarters building brightly lit at this moment. People wearing internal security combat uniforms are coming and going in a hurry, and several diesel engines outside the building are making irritating roars.

In the agency's combat command room, Liang Yuming, who held the rank of major general, had graying hair and a tired face and sat in the main seat, rubbing his eyebrows with one hand.

Several captains and staff officers took the information and continuously marked it on the large screen in the operations room through computers, which displayed the progress of the battle in real time.

slap~

There was a hurried sound of pushing the door, and the detachment chief of staff Lu Zhanpeng, who had the rank of colonel, walked in quickly.

The huge noise scared everyone who was working quietly in the war room.

"Lao Liang, the captain of the first team, Wu Yuwen, called just now. The situation at the crossroads is getting worse! Call for support! The ammunition consumption is very high, and the casualties are increasing!"

Upon hearing this, the detachment leader Liang Yuming opened his eyes wide.

"I have to hold on even if I can't! Fuck you, you always brag to me about how brave their team is and how good they are at fighting tough battles! Do you want to give up at this critical moment?"

"What will happen to the Second Battalion if he withdraws? What will happen to the thousands of civilians who are being evacuated?"

"What? You don't dare to tell me directly. Do you think you, the chief of staff, are easy to talk to? Xiao Wu, get me a captain of the first team!"

"Yes"

Upon hearing this, a captain of staff picked up a wired walkie-talkie. Now that communications were cut off, the troops had to rely entirely on telephone lines pulled by wired soldiers to communicate.

At the cross street in Jingyang District, more than a hundred internal security soldiers dressed in forest combat uniforms, relying on some car wreckage, crazily fired towards the north of the block.

However, the bullets that were fired like they were free were swept into the horde of zombies like they were sprinkled into the raging sea, and the endless horde of zombies came rushing in like a tide.

As soon as the zombie in the front was shot in the head, the zombies behind immediately squeezed in. Under such an oppressive zombie tide, few internal security soldiers could remain emotionally stable and aim at the zombies' heads.

Most of the bullets hit the zombies' limbs, causing far less damage than the amount of bullets sprayed.

Boom~

...

The crisp sound of 35mm grenade launchers firing continuously rang out from the First Brigade's position, followed by small balls of fireworks exploding in the horde of zombies. Each explosion would knock down more than a dozen zombies in the dense horde.

But often, among the dozen or so that were blown down, seven or eight would still struggle to get up again. This scene made the captain of the first team, Wu Yuwen, feel numb on his scalp.

"This guy won't even die!"

Wu Yuwen couldn't help but curse as he watched the zombies, whose limbs were missing from the explosion, staggering towards the position.

Suddenly, several dark shadows appeared in the sky, and Wu Yuwen immediately shouted

"Watch out for air strikes!"

Yes, Wu Yuwen also felt that it was really outrageous. It was so outrageous that these living dead actually evolved long-range attacks.

As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight black shadows had already accurately smashed into the position. These zombies that were thrown over were like giants that were swollen in water. Their entire bodies were swollen like balloons that were about to burst, and their skin was stretched so thin that it was translucent, as if it would burst at any time.

The moment they landed on the ground, these self-destructive zombies exploded instantly, with a power like a methane explosion. Several soldiers who were close to them were caught off guard and were instantly torn apart by the huge energy.

The remains of body parts were scattered everywhere...

The soldiers who were a little further away were also splashed by the green slime that was sprayed all over the place by the zombie explosion. The strong corrosiveness was comparable to that of sulfuric acid, and black smoke instantly rose from the combat uniforms of these soldiers.

Those whose skin was accidentally splashed with the liquid screamed in unbearable pain. The green mucus burned through the epidermal tissue at an extremely fast speed, and infection followed.

The head felt dizzy, the pupils were dilated, the whites of the eyes turned red, the oral mucosa fell off and secreted a large amount of pus-yellow saliva, the muscles at the corners of the mouth were pulled to the sides uncontrollably, tearing the mouth to the roots of the ears, and sharp teeth broke out of the mouth like bamboo shoots.

The soldier, who had lost control of his body but could clearly feel the pain, wailed and begged his teammates to kill him.

"Ah~Awei, kill me! Kill me quickly! I don't want to become a zombie!"

"It hurts! I'm in so much pain~"

bang~

Crisp gunshots rang out in the position, and the comrade beside him pulled the trigger with tears in his eyes towards the sick comrade's forehead.

Wu Yuwen turned away with red eyes, not daring to look any further at the group of 500 people before the end of the world.

Now there are only about a hundred people left, and the number is decreasing at a very fast rate. It is estimated that it will drop to double digits in a while.

What have passed away are not cold data, but the familiar faces we once spent every day with.

"Captain! The captain is calling!"

A communications soldier ran over with a wired telephone in his hand.

Wu Yuwen put the phone to his ear nervously.

"Hello, Chief, I am Wu Yuwen!"

"Wu Yuwen, I'm Liang Yuming, and I'm telling you, there are no reinforcements! You have to hold on whether you can or not!"

"Think about the oath you took when you joined the army, and think about the thousands of civilians being evacuated from Jingyang District!"

"I am asking you now, can you complete the task?"

Listening to the roar on the other end of the phone, Wu Yuwen's neck veins bulged and he shouted loudly:

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

The two of them fell into a brief silence. Before hanging up the phone, Wu Yuwen choked up and said

"Uncle, take care of yourself..."
