#220 - Chapter 220: There is no return!
The time came to a little after 6 o'clock.
The last trace of sunlight on the horizon finally disappeared completely.
Night fell.
At this moment, the zombies that were running at a normal speed instantly accelerated!
They all sprinted towards the Green Source Base in Mentang Town like madmen!
Nearly ten thousand zombies had fallen outside the base!
But there were still more than 50,000 that were not dead!
All kinds of lights used for the Green Source Base's defense had been turned on, illuminating the situation below, and several large searchlights were constantly rotating and patrolling.
On the wall.
Chen Gang raised his spear, shook his sore arm, glanced down, and said to Wang Wei next to him without turning his head:
"How long have we been up here killing zombies?"
"…"
"It should have been a few hours, right?"
Wang Wei, who was next to him, also temporarily stopped swinging his spear and replied with a grimace.
He had been called to help in the afternoon and hadn't stopped since.
They looked at the completely dark sky and knew that the zombies below would become stronger again.
Sure enough, the zombies that had just been stacked six or seven meters high suddenly rose to eight or nine meters!
Even though the two had seen this scene many times before, they still felt a chill down their spines.
"Everyone, take a break, go down and eat first, and let another group of people come up to continue the defense!"
Qin Guoqiang shouted on the wall.
He had been commanding this defensive battle since noon, and the situation was still under control.
The survivors who had been selected to work had also been busy for several hours. After nightfall, the situation suddenly became severe, so it was safer to switch back to the original base members.
The remote weapons and spear attacks had eliminated nearly ten thousand zombies throughout the afternoon, but new zombies continued to appear.
These zombies were intercepted and divided, and only a portion of them could run to the bottom of the wall.
"No need to wait! Use firepower to suppress and clear a portion first!"
Upon hearing this, the team members no longer saved bullets and all pulled the triggers, aiming at the zombies' heads and frantically pouring out bullets!
Immediately, the tide of corpses below fell like wheat being harvested!
Ordinary flesh was still fragile in the face of human firepower.
"Everyone, aim there! There is a suspected mutated zombie there!"
A team member shouted loudly, pointing to a spot below with his right finger.
After the base popularized knowledge, the team members had long known that various mutated types would appear among the zombies. If they saw a zombie that was different from usual, they would directly classify it as a mutated type!
Then concentrate firepower to kill it first!
The location pointed to by the team member was a monster with slender limbs and a bulging belly like a pregnant woman. It tilted its head back and was about to launch an acid attack when a large rain of bullets came!
Without a strong body and solid defense, it was torn to pieces in an instant!
The acid sac in its abdomen, shattered by bullets, exploded, corroding some of its companions next to it, causing sizzling sounds.
"There's also a mutated type over there! It's very fast, the accurate shooters shoot quickly!"
Eliminating one mutated zombie could not let the team members relax at all. A sharp-eyed team member saw another figure with extremely terrifying movement speed appearing in another location.
A Swift Zombie!
It charged left and right in the horde of corpses, seemingly trying to use the cover of its companions to get close to the wall, but it was still spotted by sharp-eyed team members.
Mutated zombies possessed varying degrees of danger perception. Perhaps sensing the danger, it actually increased its speed again and ran swiftly under the wall!
Its speed might not be faster than bullets, but it could be faster than the speed at which team members aimed their guns!
In addition, zombies would only stop if their brains, the center of movement, were hit. Even if their bodies were shot many times, it would not be considered a kill.
"Damn it! Ignore the Swift Zombie! Kill the other zombies first to reduce the pressure!"
Qin Guoqiang shouted loudly, unable to help but swear.
He also felt the pressure.
There were not many mutated zombies during the last fog weather, but now it was different. As time went on, there were more and more mutated types.
In addition, he saw more ragged figures rushing quickly from the distance!
There were even more zombies!
After nightfall, the speed of the nearby zombies increased greatly, and they were all running towards this side!
The number of zombies around the base was roughly estimated to be over eighty or ninety thousand!
Even the improved barrier belt could not intercept all the zombies rushing over at once. Even though the team members were firing madly with dozens of machine guns, many still rushed to the bottom of the wall.
The corpse tower suddenly piled up to a height of 10 meters!
This was the first time since the establishment of the Green Source Base that zombies had climbed halfway up!
"Use bombs immediately! Throw them slightly away from the wall! Don't damage the wall!"
At this point, as the base's security captain, Qin Guoqiang knew that he could no longer wait.
He needed to suppress the corpse tower immediately!
The team members who heard the order did not hesitate. They picked up the specially made bombs that had been prepared in advance, disarmed the safety, and threw them towards the pile of corpses about 5 meters away from the wall.
"Boom…!"
Several loud explosions occurred in succession, and the zombies below were blown to pieces. The original corpse tower, which was more than ten meters high, was instantly suppressed back to seven or eight meters!
Before they could continue to pounce up to fill the gap, the team members continued to throw bombs.
Hundreds of powerful bombs bloomed everywhere in the tide of corpses outside.
In just a few minutes, they killed thousands, nearly ten thousand, zombies!
At this time, throwing bombs into the middle of a squeezed mass of flesh could exert the most powerful effect.
Each one killed double-digit zombies or more!
The whole scene paused slightly.
Chen Gang, Wang Wei, and other survivors who had finished eating something and returned to the wall, were all shocked by this scene.
"Too… too awesome… Holy crap! If the Wan City Base had the strength of Green Source at that time, maybe it could have survived!"
Chen Gang's eyes were as big as copper bells, watching the fragility of flesh and blood in front of technological creations like paper.
Even one of the Swift Zombies could not avoid it and was shattered by the dense bomb waves!
The entire base's defense pressure was immediately relieved.
"Don't be careless! There are still many zombies! Continue to maintain the kill frequency, and use bombs if the pressure is too great! The others immediately pick up spears and stab the zombies under the wall!"
Qin Jin also appeared.
After nightfall, the defense pressure increased greatly, and he did not continue to stay inside to observe, but came directly to the defense front line.
The main reason was that too many main forces had left the base, otherwise he would not have been worried.
The fact that the zombies had just rushed to the 10-meter position was already a bit dangerous.
The perimeter of the base's wall was hundreds of meters long, and they currently had less than a hundred people defending, so the pressure was still there.
But it was not yet time to continue investigating the survivors in the isolation zone below.
Compared to unfamiliar people, his own team members were more reliable.
Bullets and guns had been produced non-stop for the past two months. There were already more than a thousand guns and more than three million bullets!
Not to mention the several tons of TNT bombs, over ten thousand, in the base's warehouse!
Even if a hundred thousand zombies besieged the city, he was confident that he could make them all come and never return!
