#172 - Chapter 172 The Darkest Hour
Fenghe County isn't the only place with Strikers in the world.
Before the Corpse Mist Day, some places had already begun to see mutated zombies appearing.
It's just that the Corpse Mist Day accelerated this process.
After night falls, the zombies' carnival begins.
Green Source Base.
Qin Jin saw the last ray of sunlight disappear in his office, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said on the channel:
"Night has begun! The zombies at night may be even more terrifying than before! Everyone must be extra careful!"
In fact, he didn't need to remind them, the base personnel all knew this was possible.
On the wall, Qin Zhiqiang commanded the defense队员, resolving every zombie that approached the base.
After more than three hours of interception, the interception zone outside the base was already covered with zombie corpses, which formed small mountains of corpses after they fell.
Li Xu was also standing on the wall watching at this time, and couldn't help but啧啧and say:
"It seems there is still a lot of room for improvement. Too many zombies will fill up the interception rope, and it will lose its effect after saturation. Then I can do this... that..."
He watched with great interest on the wall, not talking to anyone, just muttering to himself.
Due to his many contributions, Qin Jin gave him the opportunity to come up to the wall to observe the Corpse Mist Day, to see what areas of the base's defense could be improved in the future.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the Green Source Base turned on several energy-saving lamps set up on the wall, and large searchlights on several哨塔, constantly observing the movements of the zombies outside.
Li Bowen, Zhong Yu and other combat captains also stood solemnly on the wall, watching the zombies rushing over fearlessly, and being killed and resolved by their own base's defense team.
It is estimated that two or three thousand zombies have fallen outside the base in these three hours, and they are still appearing non-stop, with no sign of stopping at all.
"Those zombies are getting faster again!"
Zhong Yu had sharp eyes and immediately saw the zombies becoming stronger after nightfall.
The other captains also nodded solemnly, watching the zombies outside that could no longer be blocked by the interception rope, slowly approaching the base wall.
At this time, the defense队员 were also unable to hit these fast-moving targets. They abandoned their crossbows and picked up the steel guns next to them, preparing for siege defense.
A female队员 thrust a steel gun at a zombie rushing to the bottom of the wall, but only grazed its hideous and tattered face, not hitting it completely.
The zombie actually grabbed the steel gun!
Wanting to climb onto the wall using the steel gun!
The female队员 tried hard to retrieve it, but failed to pull the steel gun back!
She couldn't help but become anxious, and quickly shouted to the teammates next to her:
"Come and help me! My weapon has been grabbed by a zombie! It's so strong!"
The two male队员 heard this and quickly ran to her side, helping to grab the steel gun and pull it upwards and backwards with force.
The three of them worked hard for nearly four or five seconds before finally pulling back the steel gun.
The female队员 and two male队员 shouted to the other personnel who were looking over with lingering fear:
"Everyone be careful! The zombies below are very strong, don't let your weapons be grabbed! Pull them back as soon as possible after stabbing, otherwise it's easy to be pulled down!"
In fact, they didn't need to say it, the people next to them had also seen it.
They knew that zombies would become stronger after nightfall, but they didn't expect them to become so terrifying.
"Female队员 or队员 who are not strong enough, prepare to use firearms!"
At this time, a familiar voice reached everyone's ears.
It was Qin Jin, who had just walked to the wall.
"Everyone take turns defending after nightfall, this night is still very long."
He came to the scene to take a look at the zombies outside at night during the Corpse Mist Day. In his previous life, he could only hide in the house in panic, and had no chance to see how crazy the zombies outside were.
Then he saw it just now, it was indeed a bit fierce.
After nightfall outside, more and more zombies appeared, each running to the bottom of the wall at a speed of 100 meters, staring at them on the wall with their teeth and claws.
In just the less than two minutes they delayed while talking, two or three hundred zombies had already surrounded them below!
Perhaps their position had the strongest meat smell, and the zombies directly below had already piled up to more than three meters high!
"Just handle it according to the plan, come find me if you have any problems."
Qin Jin glanced over and let the other captains arrange it themselves. This level of impact didn't require him to personally command.
It's good to let these people train.
Everyone took orders.
The Green Source Base divided a group of people to go back to the cafeteria for dinner according to the defense rules, and the others picked up guns and crossbows to start射杀the zombies under the wall.
In an orderly manner.
Not much pressure.
*****
Yang City.
Suburban area.
There is the largest shelter in the surrounding area, which is the legendary Yang City Shelter.
At this time, the outside of the nearly ten-meter-high wall here is brightly lit, and hundreds or thousands of people are standing on the wall!
They are holding various weapons, stabbing and defending against the endless zombies outside!
Many!
There are really endlessly many!
Outside their walls, zombies that cannot be seen at a glance are swarming in!
One hundred thousand!?
Or two hundred thousand!?
No one knows the exact number, and they don't have time to calculate now. All the official forces in the Yang City Shelter have been投入into resisting the zombie冲击 since the afternoon, and they don't dare to consider saving at all!
"Quickly call those survivors over to help!!!"
"If you don't come over to help, everyone will die!!"
A middle-aged man wearing a military uniform, with a face full of sweat even in the cold weather, shouted at some people standing by the wall.
Those people are the high-level officials of the Yang City Shelter, they统领here, and they also came to check the defense situation in this emergency.
I didn't expect such a desperate thing to happen today!
Countless zombies are冲击their place of survival!
Not daring to delay any longer, they quickly mobilized people to find people from the nearly 20,000 survivors to come to the wall to help resist the zombies.
The战士and队员 who joined the shelter later had been fighting continuously for more than three hours, not to say exhausted, but not far from it.
That's more than a thousand staff members in the entire shelter!
Even so, there are actually signs of being unable to support it now!
After nightfall, many队员were pulled down and eaten by the zombies below!
Now the zombies stacked under the wall have reached seven or eight meters! And there are still signs of continuing to rise!
If they don't find a way, they will be finished if they are rushed in!
"Quickly pull all the machine guns and gasoline over! Don't save it! Suppress the狗东西below for me!"
The middle-aged战士is still leading the team to resist desperately. They must not retreat. Once they retreat, more than 20,000 people here may die!
However, no one noticed that some high-level personnel who had been observing the development of the situation by the wall had slowly left here and did not know where they had retreated.
Not just the Yang City Shelter.
Countless places with large gatherings of survivors are being tested.
Under the Corpse Mist Day, mankind ushered in its darkest moment.
