#752 - Chapter 752: Worry deepens
Hearing the message from the walkie-talkie, Qin Jin was stunned for a moment.
Why did a call for help come so soon after nightfall? What exactly happened at the Red Cloud Base?
With doubts in his mind, he said goodbye to Zhao Ling and left the office, heading to the combat command center downstairs.
That was a newly established place specifically designed to deal with emergencies during this Corpse Mist Cataclysm.
The situation at Red Cloud Base could also be considered a special situation.
Soon.
Qin Jin arrived at the combat command center and learned from his uncle, Qin Guoqiang, that the purple mist concentration in Shenzhen was extremely intense!
"The information sent back from the Red Cloud Base indicates that the purple mist concentration in Shenzhen seems very different from ours, almost to the point where you can't see anything beyond a hundred meters!"
Security Captain Qin Guoqiang said with a solemn expression.
He was in charge of the overall defense of the base tonight. No problems had occurred in other areas, and the large and small residential areas within the Green Source zone were resisting the invasion of the rampaging zombies as expected.
Only the Red Cloud Base, a subsidiary force, had a problem.
He couldn't decide how to handle it, so he sought out his nephew, who was the leader.
Qin Jin gained a comprehensive understanding of the current defense situation. Indeed, everything was fine except for the Red Cloud Base, so he pinched his chin and pondered for a while.
"Send two helicopters and an airship over to support them! Our current situation is temporarily under control, and some of the air power that we don't need can go over and help Red Cloud!"
He made a decision before long.
Help!
Red Cloud Base was, after all, the first force to join Green Source, and they had never made any major mistakes. Therefore, if conditions permitted, they could allocate some resources to help them overcome this difficulty!
His instructions were quickly issued, and the aid force began to prepare.
But, could Red Cloud Base wait?
The perspective returns to the Red Cloud Base.
Since the two Annihilators and Cutters provided by Green Source were deployed, the pressure on the people on the wall of the Red Cloud Base was indeed greatly reduced!
Many people were grateful that they had joined such a powerful master like Green Source in advance, which not only provided a lot of help in their daily lives, but also provided special care in the face of disaster.
Sure enough, it's good to have a big shot to take care of you!
However.
Just when most of the people thought the situation would quickly improve, they soon realized something was wrong again.
"Why are there more zombies outside!!? So many!! There's no end to them!"
"The situation is not good! There are too many zombies falling outside, and the ones coming from behind are stepping on the corpses and getting closer and closer to the top of our wall!!"
The joy that had appeared on the faces of the defense personnel on the wall after the deployment of the two trump cards disappeared before long.
Everyone realized that the situation was getting worse and worse!
The two trump cards were indeed very efficient at killing zombies, but the zombies coming from outside were endless!
The number was estimated to exceed 200,000 soon!
This was a terrifying number they had never imagined!
Red Cloud Base was not a freak like Green Source!
There was not enough strategic depth here, nor were there unlimited bullets and guns. There were only four hundred or so survivors struggling to support themselves.
Ordinary bases would scream for help when faced with a horde of 100,000 zombies. Red Cloud's ability to withstand 200,000 was already outstanding among all the bases!
But even so, they couldn't withstand the ever-increasing number of zombies!
"Everyone, keep up the good work and kill the zombies! The leader has contacted Green Source! They have promised to send forces to support us immediately!!"
Xiong Sen's loud voice appeared on the wall.
Green Source's support!
Like a shot in the arm, his words directly caused the originally worried personnel to burst into dazzling brilliance!
Green Source still has support!
That's good!
As long as the big shot can provide help, they have the confidence to survive!
Xiong Sen's words shook the defense line again, pushing back the surging tide of corpses below a little.
Hu——
Sister Hong stared coldly at the rampaging zombies that were still appearing in the depths of the purple mist. After taking a deep breath, she continued to pick up her steel gun and fight.
Green Source had indeed promised support, but there was a certain distance from here to there. Even if Green Source had helicopters, it would take at least two or three hours to prepare and fly over!
Could their base really hold out until the other party arrived?
Even if they arrived, could the support force from Green Source help them resist until the end of the Corpse Mist Day?
Sister Hong and Xiong Sen both had a question mark in their hearts.
They didn't dare to tell others about this idea, and could only vent their unease on those zombies trying to surge up.
There was no choice but to believe that they could catch up in time and help them!
Boom boom boom!!!
Outside the wall, two steel behemoths were still displaying their power, greatly reducing the pressure on the Red Cloud Base.
The hard and sharp blades and sawteeth were constantly harvesting the approaching zombies, leaving circles of black and smelly stumps of meat outside the wall.
Fortunately, Green Source had sent these two high-efficiency zombie-killing machines in advance, otherwise they might have been breached by this unimaginable tide of corpses after nightfall, and everyone would have died.
Everyone didn't say it, but it didn't mean they didn't know it in their hearts.
It was important to resist the zombies at this time. It was not too late to talk about other things after this disaster had passed.
At this time, the Red Cloud Base, except for some of the old, weak, sick, and disabled, almost all the personnel who could exert their strength ran to the wall to assist in the resistance.
The still-wide wall was crowded with people, desperately stabbing at the zombies trying to climb up.
"Ah ah ah ah!!!!"
Suddenly!
Several horrifying screams came from a certain part of the wall. Many people turned their heads and saw several base personnel covered in unknown mucus screaming frantically!
"Over there!! It's a Spitter!!! Those with guns, shoot it dead quickly!! Don't give it a chance to continue spitting out acid!!! Also, these people are beyond saving, deal with them immediately!!"
Xiong Sen roared and quickly issued instructions!
Mutated zombies had appeared!
It was that hateful zombie that could spit out viral acid!
Although the Red Cloud Base also arranged for people to keep an eye on the outside, when abnormal zombies appeared, they should give an early warning so that the armed personnel could solve them first.
But there was still a big gap between here and Green Source in terms of lighting equipment, terrain, and personnel experience.
The mutated zombie was actually touched close before it was discovered, directly causing casualties to the base personnel.
Although the Red Cloud responded quickly, the Spitter, who realized it was trying to escape, was killed with difficulty under the shooting of many guns, but Red Cloud also paid the price of seven people dying and consuming hundreds of nearly a thousand bullets.
"Pay attention to the 6 o'clock direction! There is a suspected Swift there! It is very fast, but it has also mixed into the pile of corpses!! Please be prepared to solve it first!"
The personnel in charge of stalking from time to time sent messages that made people feel nervous.
Two or three mutated zombies that were usually rare actually appeared at once!
The worry in the eyes of Sister Hong and Xiong Sen was even stronger.
Could they really survive this disaster?
