#169 - Chapter 169 Pressure Increases
Wan City Base.
Looking at the increasing number of zombies surrounding them.
The personnel on the wall were a little panicked.
It was their first time seeing zombies so crazy!
More ferocious than the mutated ones at night!
There were only a few hundred zombies surrounding the base, evenly distributed, which wasn't too many considering the length of their wall.
However, in some places, they had quickly stacked up into corpse towers over two meters high!
Something's not right!
"Quickly notify the captain and the people inside the base, tell them there's a problem outside and to come and take a look!"
"Hurry!"
It was the same middle-aged man from before, he was the first to notice something was wrong and instructed the young man to find the base's management.
They were just ordinary team members and didn't have the right to own walkie-talkies. Daytime was generally safe, and they hadn't encountered too many zombie attacks during their month-long shifts.
Before long, the young man returned, leading nearly twenty people to the wall.
In just a few minutes, the number of zombies outside had increased by several hundred again!
Close to a thousand!
This is crazy!
In some places, the corpse piles were already four meters high!
"What's going on!? What did you do!? Why are so many zombies suddenly appearing during the day!?"
A stern-faced man who had just arrived questioned the team members who had been on the wall.
"We don't know! We didn't do anything, suddenly a lot of zombies appeared and surrounded us! It really has nothing to do with us!"
The middle-aged man and several team members quickly disclaimed responsibility, not daring to take the blame for such a serious matter, which could cost them their lives.
The stern-faced man didn't continue to press the issue, knowing that dealing with the situation was the priority, because as far as he could see, more and more zombies were constantly appearing and surrounding their base!
"Immediately notify everyone in the base's highest management! Tell them to come over quickly! Tell them there's big trouble!"
"Also, wake up all the night defense team members and base personnel and get them ready!"
The stern-faced man seemed to have a high position, issuing a series of commands, instructing some of those who had come with him to quickly go back and notify more base personnel, while also taking out a walkie-talkie to inform the base's higher-ups about the current situation on the high-level channel!
After finishing, he continued to instruct the people present:
"Everyone, immediately grab your weapons!"
"Poke those zombies climbing up down!"
After speaking, he took the lead in grabbing a steel rod leaning against the wall, aimed at the zombies that had already piled up to more than four meters below, and stabbed down hard!
The personnel next to him weren't slow either, quickly grabbing their weapons and starting to resist the frantically charging zombies!
The scene immediately entered a state of intense stalemate.
*****
In a small cubicle within a large classroom in the teaching building, Brother Chen was still asleep.
It wasn't yet time to distribute food, and the weather was cold, so he was still resting in his bedding.
Huh?
Brother Chen's ears twitched, and he heard a noisy sound, slowly waking up.
Is it time to distribute porridge?
He rubbed his eyes, which were full of eye gunk, not fully recovered yet.
"Everyone, quickly go out and gather! Something happened outside the base! Team Leader Liu wants all of us to gather at the wall! -- Hurry!"
A loud shout, mixed with the information, finally reached Brother Chen's ears.
Something happened!?
He stood up with a "whoosh", ignoring the dark cotton quilt that had fallen to the ground, and rushed out of the cubicle, seeing other teammates with equally drastic changes in expression!
Everyone didn't need to prepare anything. They hadn't bathed in over a month and had been wearing the same set of well-worn clothes, heading directly towards the wall.
What happened?
Brother Chen couldn't help but wonder.
Soon, after arriving at the wall, he saw that many people had already gathered here, a large crowd estimated to be one or two hundred!
"What's going on? What happened? Why did you suddenly call us to gather?"
A teammate next to him asked the personnel who had arrived earlier.
Brother Chen quickly perked up his ears.
"Something happened! Over a thousand zombies suddenly surrounded us outside! They're very crazy, attacking our wall! Team Leader Liu is leading people to resist!"
So many zombies during the day too!?
What's the situation?
Brother Chen, like many others, was a bit confused. Weren't zombies only supposed to get stronger and come out at night?
Usually, only a small number would be attracted by the sound of their activities during the day.
The wall of Wan City Base was very wide and long. Many scaffolding had been built inside the wall, and at this time, many people began to climb up to see what was going on.
Brother Chen, like other teammates, didn't bother eating and climbed up the scaffolding, looking out over the wall.
Hiss!
Brother Chen couldn't help but gasp, the scene he saw not only froze his lungs but also chilled his heart!
As far as the eye could see, heads were surging!
Upon reaching the wall, the sharp roar pierced his eardrums!
So many!
Zombies would also surround them at night in the past, but usually only a few hundred, and occasionally a thousand under the wall.
However, he couldn't estimate the number of zombies appearing in front of him now!
It seemed to be several times more than the thousands he had seen at night before!
Several thousand!
And their state was also wrong!
How could they be so violent!
Even at night, he had never seen them like this! Several times crazier than the addicts he had seen!
"Damn! What are you standing there for! Quickly find weapons to help push these zombies down!"
Team Leader Liu, not far away, put down an iron rod full of blood and minced meat, shouting loudly at the newly arrived personnel.
He had been fighting for nearly ten minutes, and even with the good physique he had developed in the army, he couldn't withstand such high-intensity exertion in such a short period of time and needed to catch his breath.
The people who had just arrived on the wall woke up as if from a dream, breaking free from the intimidation of the surprisingly large number of zombies outside, and quickly went to find iron rods and spears to help kill the zombies.
Brother Chen didn't retreat either, grabbing a long pole from the scaffolding and returning to the edge of the wall, seeing the corpse tower below that had already piled up to more than four meters high, and sent out the long pole hard!
Hurry up and defend!
At this time, no one was thinking about the upcoming food distribution time. If they couldn't defend and the zombies outside climbed up the wall and rushed in, then everyone would die!
In an instant, the emergency situation had spread throughout the entire Wan City Base!
All the survivors were in a state of panic.
They could only pray that the base could successfully resist the zombie attack.
Team Leader Liu, having caught his breath a little, took out the walkie-talkie again and shouted loudly on the high-level channel:
"You guys quickly bring the weapons over to the wall! Don't be stingy! All the zombies have come! If we don't do our best, we won't be able to hold on and we'll be breached!"
"This is not a joke! If we continue to fight internally, we will all die!"
He was right, there were not many zombies left in the buildings outside, almost all of them had rushed out!
Rushing towards the loudest and meatiest place!
They want to eat meat!
