#222 - Chapter 222: As Far as the Eyes Can See
It wanted to run!
That was the thought in everyone's mind.
“Bang, bang!”
Two gunshots rang out.
The leaping figure stumbled, crashing into the wall just below the window before falling!
Hit!
“Don't stop!”
Li Bowen fired one of the shots, and Yao Lei, further away near the warehouse entrance, fired the other.
The other team members naturally knew what to do at this point.
A hail of bullets began to rain down on the fallen figure!
It interrupted its attempts to stand up and struggle, tearing it to pieces in a matter of seconds!
The team members, confirming the kill, finally ceased fire.
Li Bowen also confirmed that the target had taken multiple headshots and didn't possess the terrifying defense of the previous Charger. He made a gesture and took the lead, walking over.
Reaching the body, he used the skull crusher he had prepared to strike the target again!
After confirming it was dead beyond any doubt, he felt relieved and began to examine this mutated zombie he was seeing for the first time (although it was already a pile of rotten flesh).
Its head had been completely destroyed, making it impossible to see what it looked like in life. One could only roughly judge it to be male.
The limbs exposed on its body were not long, one could say they were rather short, but unusually thick, with pale muscles bulging.
Because it had been shot to pieces, he and the other team members who had gathered around couldn't discern much information.
“Get some people to dismember this zombie! Then pack it up and take it back to Director Qin as a research sample!”
(Qin Jin: I'm really going to thank you!)
“The rest of you continue clearing this area!”
Hearing this, everyone quickly busied themselves.
This mutated zombie was just a minor episode; the clearing and fortification of the oil base had to continue.
Before long, the entire oil refining area was completely cleared. All the spaces inside the buildings had been opened and checked to ensure there were no zombies or survivors.
Wang Bin and some of the personnel who would be stationed there long-term also began to get busy.
They still had to check whether the oil extraction equipment was working properly. Director Qin had given them some oil extraction information last night, and Dong Hui had also communicated with him a lot, but this was really the first time they had done anything like this.
It was likely they wouldn't be able to get it done in a short amount of time.
But that didn't matter.
Anyway, they had temporarily occupied this place, and they would continue to find ways to get it running. If there were problems, they would find ways to solve them.
They had brought generators and a lot of tool machinery, ready to win this war of attrition!
Wang Bin secretly cheered himself on. As long as he really handled the affairs here well, he would definitely be a high-level executive in the Green Source Base in the future!
Director Qin had promised him last night that if he did well, he could marry and retire here or at the Green Source Base!
The other combat and support personnel didn't rest either. There were still two or three hours before dark, so they had to hurry up and improve the security and defenses here!
This trip was considered smooth so far!
*****
Time returned to 8 PM.
Green Source Base.
Since nightfall, the zombies outside had become stronger, and the pressure on their defenses had increased significantly. Even Qin Jin had rarely personally run to the walls to monitor the situation.
In the two hours after nightfall, they used approximately 3,000 bombs, countless bullets, and countless other weapons such as crossbows and bows.
They killed over 50,000 attacking zombies!
Completely surpassing the number that came during the last zombie fog!
But even so, the outside of the base was still swarming with heads!
There were still nearly 100,000 zombies!
During this time, almost as many came as they killed!
Now, the corpses piled up outside the entire base were one or two meters high.
This didn't even include those stabbed with spears under the walls!
There were too damn many!
Even powerful TNT bombs, which could cover an area of nearly 20 meters, were useless against zombies that felt no pain, merely blowing off some of their limbs.
They still had the ability to move.
Even if they lost three limbs and only had one hand left, they would still crawl towards the base, becoming stepping stones for their companions.
Qin Jin stood on the wall watching this scene, his brow deeply furrowed.
This unexpected feeling was really uncomfortable!
He had been reborn for so long, planning step by step, just to avoid these fearless monsters.
He never expected that even though he had set up the base in such a remote place, after using the operation of attracting survivors, he would also attract zombies at the same time.
“Fortunately, I have also been accumulating strength! Otherwise, it would be really hard to say whether I could get through this!”
Just now, he had sent several helicopters to scout further afield.
The conclusion was that there were far fewer zombies coming from behind.
In other words, the remaining zombies outside were basically the last to be dealt with in this crisis.
Eliminating them would mean victory in this siege defense battle!
It was also impossible to wait for them to disperse naturally or lure them away.
Luring them a short distance was useless.
Continuing to keep these zombies in Mentang Town or Fenghe County would inevitably lead to another incident like today's.
Letting them disperse and then killing them one by one was even more inadvisable.
Today's siege was both a crisis and an opportunity.
An opportunity to clean up Fenghe County in the short term!
Killing these zombies cleanly would mean that zombies from other places wouldn't come so quickly in a short time.
Equivalent to giving them a safer time to develop more quickly!
“Continue to move explosives and ammunition up here!”
“Those of you who can use guns, take them too! Kill these zombies with all your strength!”
“Leave none alive!”
Qin Jin's loud voice rang out on the wall, and those who heard it naturally worked even harder.
He didn't just stand there himself, he picked up the gun on his body and fired at the zombies below!
“There's a mutated zombie!”
In another direction, the defending team suddenly clamored, even drowning out the gunfire.
Qin Jin looked in the direction of the sound, his pupils shrinking instantly!
He saw in the direction the team members were talking about, a strange zombie appeared whose body was much larger than ordinary zombies, one arm was extremely huge, and the other was withered.
A Charger!
His anger surged instantly.
Dropping his machine gun, he strode across a distance of more than ten meters and came to a heavy machine gun, picking it up with his hands.
His eyes were icy, an astonishing killing intent filled the air, and he pulled the trigger amidst the incomprehension of the nearby team members!
Da-da-da!!!
Large-caliber bullets flew densely towards the Charger that had just appeared and seemed to be still looking for a target!
Pa-pa-pa…
A rain of bullets bombarded its torso, limbs, and head!
Not giving it any time to react.
Even if it had a sense of danger, it wouldn't know in advance that a human on the distant wall who hated it to the bone would launch the fiercest attack without warning!
It didn't even have time to raise its terrifying giant arm to defend itself, and its body and head were torn apart by large-caliber bullets!
“What are you standing there for!?”
“Kill them all for me!!!”
“I want no standing zombies within my sight!”
Qin Jin, having personally killed another Charger, roared with a ferocious face!
