#569 - Chapter 569: The Tide of Zombies Arrives
"Is a zombie tide really coming?"
On the periphery of the Green Source Zone.
Defenders were stationed on the walls of twenty small residential areas, repelling the occasional zombie.
By noon, many began to suspect that the base headquarters' judgment was flawed.
From morning until now, there had been no large-scale zombie appearances as warned by headquarters.
Only a few hungry zombies occasionally ran towards the headquarters or wandered to the foot of their walls.
Only last night saw a larger number; today's daytime could be considered "peaceful".
Therefore, some began to feel that the headquarters was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Zombies occasionally ran out to attack the walls like this during the day in the past, and there was no sign of a zombie tide appearing.
"Anyway, let's just do what headquarters tells us! Headquarters wouldn't harm us. The supplies in the small residential areas are still sufficient, and today a blimp came to give us some arrows and hand crossbows and other weapons."
Some people refuted the doubters, feeling that they should continue to listen to the base.
This was what everyone was doing.
Killing the occasional zombies that appeared was all they did.
Anyway, this was originally part of the job.
However, as time went by, they noticed a change in the situation.
The number of zombies outside was constantly increasing at an irregular frequency!
"Damn! There really are more and more zombies!"
"Headquarters was right! The situation outside is really a bit off!"
More and more people in the small residential areas discovered that zombies outside were constantly running towards Mentang Town!
It could no longer be considered a normal situation!
On the headquarters side.
The life zone on the periphery of the base continuously attracted more zombies from the outside.
At this time, a trench approximately three to four meters deep and five meters wide surrounding the headquarters had been dug.
There were still many zombie corpses that had fallen into it last night and were killed by Green Source personnel this morning.
Due to the tight schedule, these corpses were piled up inside and had not been cleared out.
The zombies that fell into it today howled in impotent rage, just like their "predecessors"...
On the more distant walls, rows of headquarters personnel were on high alert, waiting for instructions from above at any time.
The newly built life zone was now showing its power.
Ordinary zombies that came over were intercepted before they could approach the walls, and the personnel on the walls could occasionally aim and shoot to clear them.
In the sky, there were also many drones constantly flying, occasionally making sounds to gather zombies together before dropping bombs.
Faced with these monsters, which were not yet numerous, Green Source felt no pressure at all.
"Continue to keep a close watch, and eliminate all zombies that come over according to the planned rhythm!"
On the wall.
Qin Guoqiang steadily commanded this sudden zombie tide siege.
After so long in the apocalypse, this former ordinary person had become very different, and a faint aura was emerging from him.
That was the majesty slowly formed by holding important positions and commanding personnel for a long time.
The security team members naturally would not disobey the instructions of this department leader and resolutely implemented them.
Time came to three o'clock in the afternoon.
The number of zombies coming from outside continued to increase, basically jumping into the deep trenches of the life zone at a rate of dozens per minute.
That is, about several thousand zombies were eliminated every hour!
The power of the life zone continued to be displayed!
However, everyone knew that now was not the time to be happy.
The life zone was far from complete, and the number of zombies it could accommodate was limited.
When it was filled to a certain amount, it would inevitably be filled.
In that case, the zombies that came later would pounce under the walls...
This was temporarily unavoidable.
Who told us that the zombie tide would come immediately after the end of the drought? Otherwise, when the life zone was completed, it could accommodate more zombies...
During this time, the helicopters dispatched by the base were still constantly patrolling outside.
Constantly feeding back the situation outside to the leaders and cadres here at headquarters.
The news everyone reported back was basically:
"Zombies are still constantly appearing in the distance outside, approaching the base! Please be sure that headquarters is ready for the impact!"
The cadres who received the news discarded all luck and focused on waiting for the arrival of this unimaginable zombie tide.
The last zombie tide that came to Green Source was about two to three hundred thousand in scale.
This time, the initial estimate is that there will be more than a million!
This was a number that made many people's hearts skip a beat.
You should know that in the past, the total population of an ordinary second- or third-tier city was basically this much.
When all the people gather together to impact the base, that scene will definitely be shocking!
Main base.
Qin Jingang walked out of the laboratory.
He walked towards his office with a gloomy face.
Just now, I went to see Lin Runwei again.
Unfortunately, Lao Zhou still couldn't find any way to suppress her attracting zombies.
And I can't figure out why the range of zombies attracted this time is even larger than before.
"President Qin, is it possible that Miss Lin is also constantly evolving? I have observed that the properties and quantity of the D protein she produces are becoming stronger and more numerous. This unknown evolver of hers may still be evolving!"
This was the possibility that Lao Zhou told him he had thought of before.
It's so fucking outrageous!
How can she evolve for so long and even the side effects of attracting zombies are getting stronger!?
If Lin Runwei continues to evolve in the future, wouldn't she attract all the zombies in the entire Guangnan Province!?
If the secrets on her body weren't so amazing.
Qin Jin really wanted to go in and grab this woman and throw her into the burning furnace of the base's power plant!
Let her be reduced to ashes!
But the temptation of evolution, and the various mysterious functions still being explored, made him stop doing so.
Let's continue to watch.
Let's get through this zombie tide first.
We'll decide what to do next depending on the situation.
"Mobilize everyone at headquarters! Let everyone warm up in this zombie tide impact! The children will also have to play this time!"
Back in the office, Qin Jin kept issuing instructions.
Since this zombie tide cannot be avoided, let it play a greater role.
By the way, let the personnel in the base practice.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
The zombies rushing over will not feel tired at all.
Attracted by some unknown force, they ran frantically from their original places to Mentang Town.
The speed of ordinary human jogging is 8-10 kilometers per hour.
Hungry zombies do not need to recover their breath and rest, and they actually reach 12-15 kilometers per hour!
That is to say, they can cross hundreds of kilometers in 4-5 hours, and some zombies can completely rush from more than a hundred kilometers away to the Green Source Base in 10 hours!
"The number of zombies has increased! A lot of them suddenly came from a distance!"
As the front-line Green Source Zone small residential areas, these defenders were the first to feel the first impact of the zombie tide!
The zombie army has begun to enter!
