#578 - Chapter 578 Showdown
The corpse tide defense battle, which officially entered its climax in the evening, had unknowingly reached past one o'clock in the morning.
Many people on the walls felt physically exhausted, and their spirits were also severely depleted.
They had been fighting continuously for almost ten hours.
But no one dared to utter a single word of fatigue.
Compared to the previous starvation to the point of blurred consciousness and the despair of facing an unknown future, everyone had never been so aware that they were alive.
Now, everyone was fighting more for themselves than for the base!
This was already everyone's home.
It must not be breached!
At this time, the zombies piled up under the headquarters wall had reached a height of sixteen or seventeen meters.
This was still the result of the ten steel behemoths outside constantly exerting their power and dozens of drones constantly bombing.
There were still many heavy artillery pieces and mortars in the base, but they were not suitable for use in this scenario.
These heavy weapons were more suitable for killing people.
Including tanks, the efficiency of crushing zombies to death was not as good as that of a Cutter.
These weapons were developed to eliminate enemies who were also human beings.
To kill zombies, it was best to use weapons specially developed and built for them.
"Boom——!"
A fat zombie, as obese as a pig, suddenly appeared in a certain direction, and the sharp-eyed team members on the wall directly launched several explosive arrows!
They blasted this Exploder, which tried to get close, to pieces on the spot!
This kind of zombie, which could cause great damage in a confined space, could not survive for more than a minute in this corpse tide defense battle.
As soon as it showed its head and was spotted by the base members, bullets and explosive arrows would immediately pounce on it.
As the defense battle progressed to this point, although many people were very tired, the big stone in their hearts had fallen a lot.
The large group of zombies that suddenly emerged from the west had been held back and were being constantly eliminated.
According to the leader's instructions, the machines deployed and the ammunition in the base were still very sufficient, and it was impossible to be breached.
As long as we continue at the current pace, the attacking corpse tide should be completely wiped out!
Qin Jin took the time to go down to the laboratory to check on Lin Runwei's condition.
This woman, who was the instigator of the whole thing, still showed no sign of waking up.
If the base he built hadn't been able to withstand the current corpse tide, he would have rushed in and dragged this woman to the incinerator in the power plant!
She actually attracted more than a million zombies!
If there was a Summoner profession in this world, he would call her the strongest!
Fortunately, reason suppressed his anger.
He told Zhou Qihang to continue to pay attention to the condition of this Miss Lin. As long as no more abnormalities occurred, he did not intend to kill this woman for the time being.
The helicopters sent out continued to shuttle back and forth, reporting back the situation of the zombies attracted from the farthest distances.
According to the detection situation of Sun Xiaolong, Xia Yan and other helicopter members, the current attraction distance had not expanded, and had been maintained at about two hundred kilometers.
This made Qin Jin breathe a sigh of relief.
The number of zombies in the regional range was limited.
As long as all these attracted zombies were killed, it didn't matter even if Lin Runwei was still in a coma.
Because this area had been killed into a vacuum.
It didn't matter if a small number of zombies outside were attracted.
Fortunately, the Green Origin Base was built in Mentang Town, Guangyuan City, a relatively remote place when the site was selected.
The number of zombies within a two-hundred-kilometer radius was not too exaggerated.
If the site had been selected near Shenzhen or Yangcheng, it was estimated that the number attracted now would have exceeded ten million!
The current Green Origin Base would have been piled to death!
After confirming the situation on Lin Runwei's side, Qin Jin returned to the main base wall to command the defense.
He was destined not to rest tonight.
He didn't care about staying up all night, as long as he killed this wave of zombies, he would have plenty of time to rest later.
The people on the wall felt very at ease seeing the leader accompanying them almost the whole time.
With such a big shot guarding them.
This wave of defense was stable.
Unfortunately.
Whenever humans relax, there will always be new accidents.
"Whoosh——!"
A violent sound of breaking through the air came from a distance towards the base wall!
Boom!
Before one unlucky branch base member could figure out what was going on, the whole person was smashed into a pile of minced meat by a boulder that was thrown over!
While the others were horrified, new boulders continued to fly from the distance!
"Whoosh——!"
Qin Jin certainly saw the scene of the first stone hitting, but he couldn't make a timely counterattack!
The stone was too fast!
And the direction it was shot at was towards the branch base, even if he reacted, he couldn't immediately pick up the sniper rifle next to him, aim and shoot in time.
"Bang bang——!"
The stones thrown from the distance finally flew towards this side, and he didn't hesitate to aim directly and smash them into pieces!
He looked towards the direction from which the stones were shot, and saw a behemoth over three meters tall raising its right hand again to make a throwing motion!
Tank!!!
He recognized in an instant that this was a powerful mutated zombie he had seen in the last corpse tide!
Seeing that it still wanted to throw stones to attack his side, Qin Jin couldn't help it!
Old enemies meeting were extremely jealous!
He was already extremely unhappy that this somewhat perverted mutated zombie had escaped last time.
Seeing it again at this time, especially its wounded right eye, it was very likely to be the one from last time!
"Looking for death!!"
He roared angrily, turned his sniper rifle and aimed at the Tank's head and fired!
At the same time, the Tank on the other side also completed the throwing of the stone in its giant hand!
Two different creatures attacked almost at the same time!
"Bang——!"
"Whoosh——!"
The sniper bullet and the stone passed by each other!
Facing the attacking stone, Qin Jin showed a ferocious look, grabbed the sniper rifle and swung it with all his strength!
"Boom——!"
Under the terrifying power of Qin Jin, this all-around evolver, the stone, which had been infused with powerful kinetic energy by the Tank, instantly shattered into countless tiny fragments!
He disdained to dodge!
So what if a sniper rifle was scrapped? There were plenty in the base that had achieved self-mass production!
On the other side.
Facing the bullet shot by Qin Jin, the Tank just happened to throw the stone, and its whole body leaned forward, unable to make the arm blocking action in time.
The crisis warning system that came with its body frantically alarmed, and it also showed a grim expression and actually met it with its skull!
"Pa!"
A crisp sound rang out on the upper layer of its skull, and sparks were also rubbed out!
The Tank straightened its body again, and a fine crack appeared on its originally smooth head, which was the mark caused by the sniper bullet hitting it!
The powerful sniper bullet did shatter its skull.
But as a mutated zombie with not so obvious weaknesses, this damage was not a big obstacle at all!
"Roar——!"
It roared angrily at Qin Jin on the main base wall!
It was this little thing that broke one of its arms and an eyeball last time. It had finally recovered and went to a deep pool to soak for nearly two months to avoid the drought.
As a result, it sensed the powerful temptation that appeared here again as soon as it came out!
It wanted to eat the temptation inside to continue evolving!
