#321 - Chapter 321 The Real Beginning
The time came to a little after eight in the evening.
It had only been night for an hour.
Outside Green Source Base, a layer of zombie corpses had unknowingly spread, and just a rough sweep revealed that the number was definitely over ten thousand!
And outside the walls, there was still a surging mass of heads, with endless zombies emerging from all directions and pouncing forward!
It truly looked like a surging tide of corpses!
On the walls.
Li Shenglin, panting heavily, looked at the zombies outside with his hands red. After continuously killing zombies at high intensity for more than an hour, even he, who was usually accustomed to physical labor, felt quite exhausted.
"Everyone be careful! Don't lose your footing and fall down, or get dragged down by the zombies!"
He solemnly warned the team members around him.
Just recently, one of the defense personnel from a branch base, possibly due to excessive physical exertion, was dragged down by the zombies below, along with his gun, and devoured completely!
He became the first casualty in this zombie tide defense battle!
The main reason was that most of the personnel had not been adequately trained in a short period of time, and the main base had not expected another large zombie tide to attack so quickly.
"A Cai, A Zhen, you guys go down and rest first, it's been two hours already."
He said again to the female team members.
Previously, a Green Source manager came to tell everyone that personnel who had been fighting for two hours could go down to rest in batches.
The personnel had already adapted to the current battle rhythm, and as long as nothing unexpected happened, continuing to hold out until the end of the zombie tide was not a problem.
But.
Would accidents really not happen again?
A Zhen wearily put down the long spear with its tip covered in black minced meat, and leaned against the wall to rest.
However, her gaze secretly glanced at Xiao Cong, who was still working hard to stab and kill zombies on the other side.
This man, who they usually considered unreliable.
Was now sweating profusely, roaring as he stabbed at the stacked corpse tower below.
It was him just now.
Who saved her.
A Zhen's heart was pounding, and due to the darkness of the night, few people noticed her slightly red face at this time.
"What's wrong? Are you getting feelings for him?"
At this moment, a familiar female voice sounded in her ear, it was Li Cai.
She had also just stopped killing enemies, her forehead was slightly sweaty, and seeing A Zhen secretly staring at Xiao Cong in a daze, she couldn't help but tease her.
"Y-You... what nonsense are you talking about! I won't talk to you anymore if you keep this up!"
As if her tail had been stepped on, A Zhen bristled.
Seeing that she was really getting agitated, Li Cai stopped teasing her, smiled, and walked behind the wall to rest.
Everyone has their own life, there's no need to interfere and urge them on, things will naturally come to fruition when the time is right.
It was unknown how long tonight's zombie siege would last, so she needed to seize the time to rest.
The Green Source cadre surnamed Wang had said earlier that they only needed the branch base personnel to defend until about 10 o'clock, and then the defense would be handed back to Green Source Base!
She was also a little curious as to what form Green Source would use to resist the impact of the zombies.
Tonight was the night she had seen the most zombies since the end of the world!
The overwhelming, endless stream of monsters had definitely shocked her heart.
If she didn't have a good mental fortitude, coupled with facing zombie attacks from time to time over the past six months, she might not even be able to hold the steel gun steady.
"Sigh..."
Thinking of the cruel scenes that lingered in her mind, those former compatriots, who had now become deadly monsters, gave her a sense of guilt every time she swung her gun.
Few people could remain indifferent.
The shouts of killing behind her were still incessant.
No one knew when the zombies would decrease or even retreat.
"Attention! Another mutated zombie is coming over there! Suspected to be a Jumper! Don't let it get close to the bottom of the wall!"
Li Cai, who was still resting, heard a shout amplified through a loudspeaker.
It was an observer specially reporting special situations!
Since the beginning of the night, five or six mutated zombies had appeared one after another!
Except for that strange creature with slender limbs that escaped at the beginning, the other Swift Ones, Spitters, and Jumpers that appeared were all discovered and killed with concentrated fire.
They were not allowed to display their strength at all.
Just like now.
After the observer shouted, a beam of laser quickly hit the Jumper that was trying to turn around and escape!
Most mutated zombies inexplicably possessed a magical ability to sense danger.
It was like some things that would quickly dodge when you tried to grab or hurt them.
However.
It was destined to truly become a ghost under the gun tonight.
The gunmen, who had long been prepared, especially Yao Lei and several other team members with extremely outstanding marksmanship talent, fired sniper bullets that tore through layers of air, and slammed into the Jumper!
Having been discovered within a few seconds of its appearance, it was instantly torn into minced meat by human bullets!
Even its amazing jumping ability didn't have time to be used.
In this open terrain, without the advantage of buildings to leverage and evade, it could only die with regret on the spot!
"Good!"
"Everyone don't be afraid, we will kill as many of these monsters as come! As long as we listen to the command, we will surely win!"
Qin Guoqiang, the security captain, couldn't help but shout with slight satisfaction when he saw another success.
During the last zombie tide, they were still a little inexperienced overall.
But this time they were much more mature.
So far, everything was still under the control of them, the cadres!
His nephew hadn't even come out to command this time, really completely handing it over to them, the Green Source armed team, to solve and handle.
Although he was Qin Jin's uncle, Qin Guoqiang really didn't dare to put on airs in front of him.
He wasn't someone who couldn't read the situation.
In Green Source Base, besides Qin's father and Qin's mother, no one really dared to be presumptuous in front of Qin Jin!
Everyone knew the leader's personality.
"Something's not quite right, why are there so many mutated zombies tonight?"
"I remember only three appeared the entire last night, right? It's only just started tonight, and several have already come?"
Beside Qin Guoqiang, Zhong Yu frowned and looked at the zombie horde outside, muttering to himself as if asking himself.
Beside him, other people such as Team Leader Li and Team Leader Liu didn't know the answer either.
Or rather, no one in the entire base knew the answer at this time.
"Who cares so much, just kill as many as come!"
Chen Junchi blew on his hot gun barrel, he had also shot at the Jumper just now.
Since entering the end of the world, he had shown a warlike side.
So he didn't care how many mutated zombies came.
Kill them!
Just as their thoughts differed, the distant zombie horde finally gathered to reach nearly one hundred thousand!
They piled up, and then were divided by the strengthened barrier tape, forming corpse towers several meters high!
"That's about it! Tell the people at the branch base to pay attention themselves, let's show these guests some real strength!"
Seeing that the zombie horde had reached the expected density, Qin Guoqiang decisively ordered preparations for the next phase of the offensive!
