Chapter 586 Enlightenment

If the bridge had not been broken, no matter how many zombies there were, they would not be their opponents. It would take some time to eliminate them all. However, now that a large number of zombies have poured into the river and swam to the other side, they have to expand their defense line to resist.

Moreover, a large part of the zombies are swimming under the river, which also makes it impossible for ordinary firearms to effectively eliminate zombies.

As for why? The reason is very simple, that is, unless it is a specific weapon, the bullets fired by ordinary weapons will not play any role in the water.

For ordinary rifle bullets, after the bullet is fired, it will be exhausted within half a meter of the water. The bullet that loses kinetic energy will fall straight into the river like gravel, without any power.

The scene of shooting underwater and killing the enemy in the movie will never happen, unless it is very unlucky or diving too shallow, otherwise nothing will happen.

Even if you change to a sniper rifle or a shotgun, it is the same, not to mention weapons such as pistols and submachine guns.

This also led to many soldiers being able to shoot only when these zombies came ashore to prevent them from coming ashore.

Fortunately, there are still three or four meters high flood control embankments here. It is basically difficult for zombies to come up. Without dozens of zombies piled together, they can't come up at all. As long as the soldiers kill the zombies that come ashore in time, there will be no danger.

Because the defense line has become too long, the three companies have each divided a 200-meter-long area, each responsible for the zombies in their own area.

After more than ten minutes of fighting after the earthquake, the river surface, which was originally clear, was instantly dyed dark red by the blood of zombies, and it exuded a disgusting smell all the time.

As for why it is winter, the river has not frozen yet? Of course, it is because of human reasons. As early as yesterday before the battle, the soldiers used explosives to blow up all the ice on the river surface nearby to prevent zombies from stepping on the ice to attack, and every few hours, someone will come to check the situation of the river. If there are signs of freezing again, they will immediately use tools to smash the river surface to prevent it from freezing again.

Now, the zombies are basically swimming on the river surface that the soldiers deliberately broke. If they cannot get ashore within a certain period of time, they will be carried by the river to the ice layer downstream and will never get ashore again, and will be directly frozen to death.

Even if they get ashore, they still have to face the three or four-meter-high flood control embankment and soldiers holding steel guns, so the zombies are not doing well.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with the mutant zombies. Since the bridge was broken, these mutant zombies seem to have discussed it and hid in the dark and never came out again.

After such a long battle, they have also realized the power of humans, so they are unwilling to die in vain without effective means of attack or offensive routes, so they all hide.

Of course, there are also those mutant zombies who think they are very awesome. They have all died under the muzzles of humans and turned into rotten corpses.

As time goes by, their brains are more and more aware of things, and they are also more and more afraid of death. In the past, when these mutant zombies met humans, they would be the first to rush forward, fearing that they would have no meat to eat if they were a little slower. Now, although they will rush forward, once they feel that the opponent's firepower is too strong, they will become turtles and hide behind other zombies. Sometimes, they will even slip away immediately when they find that their side is in danger of being wiped out.

Although they are timid, because they have their own judgment ability, these mutant zombies have also learned to cooperate.

For example, they can also do simple cooperation such as chasing and intercepting, and luring the tiger away from the mountain.

In short, they have gained the ability to cooperate at the expense of courage.

…

When Cai Wenjie arrived at the scene, the gunfire on the bridge side had reached the point where only single shots could be fired. Generally, when there was no shortage of ammunition, everyone fired short and long bursts, so that they could ensure lethality while ensuring accuracy and ensure that the zombies were truly killed.

Without thinking too much, Cai Wenjie, who got out of the car, immediately began to exchange ammunition. Boxes of bullets, grenades, and other supplies were neatly placed in a relatively open space.

At this time, the three company commanders also noticed Cai Wenjie. They immediately put down their weapons and hurried to Cai Wenjie to report the current situation to him.

"Report to the chief! Although it was a bit difficult, we still held the line of defense. Now as long as the ammunition is in place, we can annihilate all the zombies on the opposite side."

Among the three company commanders, the commander of the sixth company, who was closest to Cai Wenjie, briefly explained the current situation to Cai Wenjie.

"I know, here are the ammunition and supplies you want, enough for you to annihilate the zombies on the opposite side, you all send someone to take it over."

"Yes!"

The three company commanders immediately shouted to their company soldiers to move the ammunition here. Soon, dozens of soldiers rushed over and began to carry the ammunition desperately.

As for Cai Wenjie, he took advantage of this time to carefully inquire about the situation here with the three company commanders and asked if there was anything wrong here.

"Really! Ever since the bridge broke, we haven't seen any mutant zombies. I thought these mutant zombies would attack us first, but I didn't expect that I haven't seen even a single mutant zombie so far."

"Captain, the fourth captain is right. I even saw a few mutant zombies running back after rushing halfway. This is unusual."

"Yes, commander. In the past, these mutant zombies were the main force of zombies, but now these main forces actually ran away at the first time. It's really unusual."

Listening to the three captains talking to each other, Cai Wenjie learned an important clue.

"Has it started?"

Obviously, Cai Wenjie was not surprised by this discovery. He knew from the beginning that the mutant zombies would become stronger and stronger with the passage of time, and gradually develop their own wisdom, or judgment ability.

In the end, the intelligence of these mutant zombies was almost the same as that of a ten-year-old child. Although they only had the intelligence of a ten-year-old child, this was enough to make these mutant zombies very difficult to deal with.

These mutant zombies would use all kinds of endless strategies, even if these strategies could be seen by a discerning person at a glance, but this was enough.

Looking at the three people who were thinking about Cai Wenjie, when they were struggling whether to wake him up, Cai Wenjie came back to his senses.

"Forget it, you guys go back first. Don't let your guard down even after the battle is over. Always pay attention to the other side to avoid sneak attacks from mutant zombies."

"Yes!"
