#636 - Chapter 636 Arrival
"Quick, push these zombie corpses out of the way! The zombies behind are using them as stepping stones!"
"I want to, but there are too many! I can't push them!"
"I need support here! The zombies are almost on top of us! Is there anything to help block them off?!"
At the breach in the Coal Mine Shelter's wall, the temporary barricade of only about three meters was covered with people fighting off the zombie invasion.
After nightfall, the zombies would normally surround them, but with the added fresh blood that the enemies on the opposite side were suspected of shooting over, more and more zombies were approaching the shelter!
It wasn't even nine o'clock, and hundreds, nearly a thousand, of flesh-eating monsters had already gathered outside, drawn by the scent!
Everyone in the shelter who could move was out, grabbing weapons and rushing to the temporary wall to fight off the zombies trying to climb in.
However,
they hadn't eaten in almost two days and had little strength left, not to mention that many were wounded, elderly, women, or children.
It was a struggle to hold them back.
They wanted to find their leader, Director Li, to direct the battle, but he had fallen into a coma, unconscious. The shelter was being commanded by some of the more senior members.
They also needed to keep some people watching the enemies across from the shelter for any possible attacks.
It was too difficult.
Many felt despair, feeling like they wouldn't even make it through the night.
It wasn't that no one had thought about escaping the shelter.
But even if they wanted to escape, they couldn't.
There were more and more zombies outside, and enemies were watching from afar.
They were trapped in the shelter like beasts in a pit.
As time passed, people gradually lost their strength and were dragged down by the zombies below!
"Ahhh!! Help!! I don't want to die!!! Someone, save me, ahhh!!"
A terrifying scream came from the pile of corpses below. The zombies, having obtained flesh, became even more crazed, rushing to devour their tasty meal.
Many of those on the low, temporary wall were horrified by the terrible scene. The veterans quickly roared, trying to steady the remaining personnel's morale.
"Don't be afraid!! Fear will only make you die faster!! We only have a chance to live if we resist the zombies' invasion!"
Those who came to their senses quickly grabbed their weapons and continued to attack the zombies below.
As the veterans said, if they wanted to live, they had to put in the effort!
The resistance continued.
Inside the building across from the shelter,
watching people being dragged down and eaten by zombies, their screams clearly audible, Director Kuang and the others were in high spirits.
"Hahaha! Let them taste being bitten to death by zombies! This is the consequence of opposing us!!"
These New Hope people were all in good moods, watching the Coal Mine Shelter across the way fall into crisis.
Their mission here was finally about to be completed.
Although they had failed to ambush Green Source's transport team and hadn't obtained many useful supplies,
as long as they took this place, it would be an important base for New Hope to obtain coal resources in the future!
At least Director Kuang wouldn't be severely punished by the higher-ups.
"Tui! We should have used these methods a long time ago! These wastes are delaying things! If they weren't so useless, why would it take so long to take down the other side?!"
He spat twice at two barely breathing figures beside him, his face gloomy.
These two were Zhang Shousheng and another companion who had returned alive after ramming the shelter wall!
At this time, they had lost the high spirits they had when Director Kuang had promised them the moon. Instead, they lay on the ground like dead dogs.
Their eyes were sunken, and they looked listless and drained.
They were almost indifferent even to Director Kuang's insults.
This was because Director Kuang and the others had extracted most of their blood. The fresh blood that had been thrown at the shelter earlier was drawn from their bodies!
When you conspire with a tiger, you must be prepared to be devoured.
Their value was gone. In the eyes of Director Kuang and the New Hope people, they were two pieces of trash that could be discarded at any time.
Ignoring the two worthless people on the ground, Director Kuang and the others continued to watch the other side with satisfaction.
In their estimation, the shelter would soon be unable to hold out.
If it really came down to it, they could just extract the last of the blood from Zhang Shousheng and the other man on the ground and shoot it into other corners of the shelter, attracting more zombies, right?
Victory was assured.
At this time, at this moment, was there any possibility of a miracle appearing!?
Impossible!
Director Kuang and the others were practically pulling up chairs to watch the show, watching the shelter across the way, which they had failed to conquer for days, be completely wiped out!
"What's that sound?"
Suddenly,
one of the New Hope members looked around in confusion, as if he had heard a strange sound.
"Huh!? What's with the helicopter sound?!"
At this time, more people heard it and stood up, looking all over the sky.
The sound of a helicopter!?
What was going on?
How could a helicopter be flying over here at night??
Director Kuang also lost the smile on his face. He had a faint feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Impossible, right?
Unfortunately,
just as Director Kuang was praying that this sudden change wouldn't affect their capture of the shelter across the way, what he feared really happened!
The roar of a helicopter descended near the shelter across the way.
Da da da!!!
A burst of loud machine gun fire cut through the noise of the helicopter, reaching everyone's ears. Many of the zombies still running over fell to the ground like wheat being harvested!
High-powered heavy machine gun bullets!
Impact on the human body could directly tear apart the fragile flesh!
Someone was actually helping the Coal Mine Shelter across the way!!!?
How could this be!?
Director Kuang stared in horror as large numbers of zombies fell. With that level of firepower, a mere thousand or so was completely insignificant!
"Everyone, look!! Those helicopters are helping us!!!"
On the wall,
the shelter personnel watched in disbelief as the helicopters suddenly appeared overhead. The cabin doors opened, and several people carried heavy machine guns and submachine guns, constantly firing!
The zombies that had previously posed a great threat to them were quickly eliminated without any resistance...
"Who is it!? Are we saved??"
Many shelter residents looked up, trying to find any clues.
Of course, some people quickly realized that Miss Li had gone to Green Source for rescue today, right?
Everyone was hesitant to believe that Li Cai had found Green Source and returned so quickly to rescue them.
That speed was too fast, right?
"You guys, look!! Isn't that Miss Li!!??"
Someone with sharp eyes saw Li Cai sticking her head out of the helicopter cabin door!
It was indeed Miss Li from the shelter!
She had really returned with reinforcements!
