Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 171 Corpse Tide
Ou Yang thought he had made a mistake, but the vibration became more and more obvious. After a while, a long whistle and the unique sound of wheels rolling over the joints of the rails came from the distance.

Under the pitch-black night, a bright car light appeared in the east, heading towards Baifeng Town at an extremely fast speed.

The headlights not only illuminated the rails, but also the pale and terrified faces on both sides of the railway.

In the blink of an eye, the train arrived outside the town, but there was no sign of slowing down. However, the railway tracks near the town had already been dismantled by the garrison!

Ou Yang's heart was beating wildly: "Get down——"

Before he could finish his words, the speeding train derailed, and the heavy front of the train crashed into the roadbed where only the sleepers were left. It immediately tilted and overturned, pressing the roadbed forward and sliding forward for dozens of meters before it finally came to a stop.

The car lights were still bright, and a stunned Lao Mi stood in the beam of light, swallowing hard.

The heavy front of the car stopped right in front of him. If it slid forward a few dozen centimeters, it would take him to see God.

This Lao Mi is undoubtedly a lucky man, but there are many more unfortunate Lao Mis.

Several people standing near the railway were unable to dodge and were crushed into meat patties by the overturned train before they could even scream.

And this is just the beginning.

The front of the train stopped, but the cars behind it continued to speed up, causing the train to derail and collide continuously.

It was hard to see clearly in the darkness, and all I could hear were the continuous collisions and the dull thud of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Ou Yang, who was lying in the pit, looked up and saw the front end of a derailed carriage touching the ground. Under the action of inertia, the entire carriage stood up high and then slammed down among many old people with a bang. The shrill screams and panic shouts mixed together and came from afar under the night.

Lao Mi, who was nearby, fled in all directions and ran towards the town for his life. His only thought was to get as far away from the railway as possible.

This is only what we can see. We don’t know how many deaths and injuries there are that we can’t see!

Another carriage rushed out of the tracks and hit the carriage in front of it. The front end jumped high and hit the carriage in front of it when it fell, riding on the carriage and continuing to slide forward.

Amidst the harsh sound of friction, a huge black shadow slammed down in front of Ou Yang, only about twenty or thirty meters away in a straight line.

Mud and rocks flew everywhere, nearly burying Ou Yang and the others. When everything was over and they emerged from the soil, they realized what had happened.

The night wind blew, and Ou Yang felt cold all over.

Just a little bit and I would have lost my life!

Zhu Yiming's mind went blank and he stared at the carriage, unable to move his eyes away.

Jiang Yuwei's face was pale and her whole body was stiff.

After a brief pause, his almost stagnant thoughts started working again. Ou Yang sat down on the ground, his heart beating as fast as a drum.

Zhu Yiming first touched his head and then his body, and only let out a long sigh of relief after making sure that nothing was missing.

Ou Yang suddenly felt a severe pain in his arm and thought he was injured. He looked down and found that Jiang Yuwei was holding his arm tightly, with her fingertips digging into the flesh.

He grinned and slapped Jiang Yuwei's arm: "Hey, let go!"

Jiang Yuwei came back to her senses and quickly let go: "Let's go, let's go!"

Until now, she still hasn't figured out what happened. First it was the town, then the tunnel, and now a train has appeared. No one knows what will happen next.

She instinctively felt that whether it was a small town, a tunnel or a train, they all represented accidents and dangers, and the farther away they were, the safer they would be.

Ou Yang pulled Zhu Yiming and said, "Let's go..."

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly smelled the distinct scent of spores in the cool night breeze.

He looked at the derailed carriage in shock and vaguely heard a terrifying roar.

In front of the pale headlights, dark shadows crawled out of the deformed carriage.

Some of them had their arms hanging, some were dragging their legs, and some could only crawl with their arms. Very few were intact.

But without exception, those dark shadows immediately pounced on Lao Mi, who was closest to them, after leaving the carriage.

From the darkness came Lao Mi's dying scream and a burst of chaotic gunfire.

Ou Yang's expression changed drastically: "Zombies, they are zombies——"

In such a tragic accident, how did these severely infected people survive?

Faced with the attack of the zombies, the crowd was immediately thrown into chaos. Some fled to the town, some fought desperately, and some hid everywhere.

They are all immune people who have fought their way out of the epidemic area. They are very familiar with severely infected people and there is no need to remind them. They all know how dangerous the infected people are.

Those who ran in the front all escaped from danger, while those who fired guns all fell behind and were knocked down by the zombies one after another.

Some people did not shoot at the zombies, but instead shot at the legs of Lao Mi who was nearby. The injured Lao Mi fell down with a scream and was immediately overwhelmed by the zombies that rushed up.

Lao Mi is not an isolated case of using others to resist the infected.

The location where Ou Yang and others were located was relatively remote, but a group of dark shadows also crawled out of the carriage in front and pounced on the nearest immune person.

The trio bore the brunt of the attack, a swaying black shadow before their eyes.

Ou Yang's face changed again. He didn't dare to hesitate at all and immediately pulled the trigger.

The PKM spewed out tongues of fire, and dense bullets swept across a fan-shaped area, knocking down a group of zombies rushing towards it.

The flash from the muzzle illuminated the group of zombies, and many zombies continued to fall under the muzzle.

The 7.62x54mm machine gun bullet is extremely powerful. One bullet can easily penetrate several targets in a row. Even if the hit position is not fatal, it will take away a large piece of flesh and blood.

A zombie was hit by several bullets. There were only a few blood holes in front of its body, but behind it, a burst of blood rain exploded continuously, leaving several flesh holes the size of bowls, almost hollowing out its heart, liver, spleen and lungs.

No matter how strong the vitality of a zombie is, it cannot survive after its internal organs are hollowed out.

The gunshots woke up Zhu Yiming Jingren and Jiang Yuwei, and they immediately opened fire - there were so many zombies that there was no need to aim, they could hit them just by shooting.

But the submachine guns they both had were fired with pistol bullets, and their penetration was not worth mentioning. Although they could cause fatal damage after hitting the target, it was only limited to the first target. Even if the bullet penetrated, the remaining power could not cause fatal damage to the second target.

The power is far less than that of PKM!

While firing, Ou Yang yelled, "Alternate cover, alternate cover!"

Although the machine gun is good, it cannot stand alone. A hundred rounds of ammunition can only last for a short while and cannot deal with so many zombies.

Jiang Yuwei turned around and ran without saying a word. After running for a distance, she stopped, turned around, and opened fire at the approaching group of zombies.

Zhu Yiming followed closely behind, and after passing Jiang Yuwei, he continued to run for a distance before stopping to fire a gun to provide cover.

Ou Yang emptied his ammunition belt in one breath, turned around and ran with his machine gun, and did not load a new ammunition belt onto the gun until he reached the cover position.

He pulled the bolt to load the gun and covered Zhu and Jiang's retreat. The nearby Lao Mi noticed the machine gun and moved closer.

They only had pistols, very few rifles, and even fewer automatic weapons. That little bit of firepower was like a tickle against a large group of zombies.

As long as you can escape behind the machine gun, you can get the cover of the machine gun and the chance of escape will increase significantly.

But it would be fine if Lao Mi just came over, the key was that they couldn't stop the infected, and as a result, the zombies from other directions also rushed over.

Ou Yang didn't care whether the ones coming were zombies or immune people. As long as he saw a large group of black shadows approaching, he would shoot them all without any discussion.

Under the cover of night, he couldn't tell who was a normal person and who was infected.

Even if we have the ability, we don't have the time. We can only treat everyone equally to ensure our own safety.

The chaos finally attracted the attention of the garrison. Several flares were launched into the air, and strong light burst out, illuminating the distorted faces of the infected and Lao Mi's terrified expression.

Looking around, there were crazy infected people everywhere, and more infected people were rushing out of the carriages.

Is the enemy sending a whole car of infected people from the epidemic area?
Ou Yang grabbed Jiang Yuwei and said, "Run!"

It was too dark to see clearly before, so I didn’t dare to run too fast, nor could I. Now that the flares are in the air, anyone who doesn’t run is stupid.

They don't need to run in the front, they just need to run faster than Lao Mi behind them to ensure they are not infected and caught up to ensure their safety.

The three of them ran to the outskirts of the town in one breath, but the swarm of zombies chased them closely and they were unable to get away from them.

The RV had no armor, so going back wasn't a good idea. Seeing the sentry tower outside the town, Ou Yang immediately rushed over with Zhu and Jiang, "Go!"

Jiang Yuwei was the first, Zhu Yiming was the second. Ou Yang turned around and fired at the zombies rushing towards him. After knocking down the infected person in the front, he suddenly jumped up and climbed up in two or three steps by grabbing the iron ladder.

The watchtower was empty except for the stripped body of a US soldier. There were several ammunition boxes stacked in the corner, and an M249 mounted on the fence.

A group of infected people rushed over, surrounded the watchtower, and scrambled to climb up.

After Ou Yang climbed up the watchtower, Zhu Yiming and Jiang Yuwei opened fire at the same time, killing several zombies that were climbing up.

The corpse fell and was instantly submerged in the crowd of corpses.

"Save bullets!" Ou Yang yelled, aiming his machine gun downwards and firing short bursts of fire. He only shot at the infected people who were climbing upwards, and ignored those who were not.

Even so, the remaining bullets wouldn't last long.

Seeing the remaining ammunition belt getting shorter and shorter, Zhu Yiming immediately took off the M249, held it in his arms and handed it to Ou Yang: "Here!"

Ou Yang pulled the trigger and fired all the remaining bullets. He immediately dropped the PKM and took the M249 to continue firing.

Jiang Yuwei dragged the ammunition box from the corner over and opened it. There were only two machine gun ammunition boxes and the rest were ordinary magazines.

There were three big boxes, and I had no idea how many bullets were in them.

There was also a box of grenades.

Zhu Yiming was furious. He didn't know where the sentry's rifle had gone. There were so many bullets that he couldn't use them, and there were only a few boxes of machine gun bullets. Isn't this going to cost him his life?
Jiang Yuwei was also extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

Ou Yang didn't think so much at all and was focused on suppressing the horde of zombies.

Although the watchtower is not high, it is suppressed by machine guns and is not easy to climb. The zombies gathered under the tower were killed one after another by Ou Yang, but new infected people rushed up immediately.

The corpses piled up more and more, and the later infected people climbed up on the corpses, getting closer and closer to the entrance.

"Get out of the way!" Zhu Yiming bit a few pull rings in his mouth and threw a few grenades down with his shaking hands. There were continuous explosions under the watchtower, which knocked over a large number of infected people gathered below and also blew away many of the piled up corpses.

Zhu Yiming threw a few more bombs until the pile of corpses was completely flattened, then he grinned.

He was so anxious that he broke his gums and his mouth was full of blood, but he didn't take it seriously at all. He first hung more than a dozen grenades on his body and took two in his hands before he felt a little relieved.

Ou Yang took the time to check out the situation outside. The first wave of zombies had already rushed into the town. The town was filled with gunshots. Even many of the zombies under the watchtower were attracted away by the gunshots in the town.

Several armored vehicles were parked on the road passing through the town, and the machine guns on the roofs fired fiercely. No zombie could get through this line of defense.

Behind the armored vehicles was a defense line built by American soldiers. They hid in the buildings to check for gaps and continuously fired at the lone zombies.

The machine gun is responsible for dealing with clustered zombies, and the rifle is responsible for dealing with lone infected people. The division of labor is clear.

Not only that, the US military also established artillery positions in the rear, and mortars kept firing, either bombarding the zombies or launching flares.

A large number of infected bodies piled up in front of the defense line, with corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river.

Ou Yang was surprised to find that the swarm of corpses was divided into three very obvious waves.

The first wave of zombies were infected people who were not injured in the derailment accident and had intact limbs. They were agile and ran very fast, so they were always at the front.

They were also the first group of infected people to face the firepower of the defenders, and they died quickly as they rushed in.

The second wave of zombies were all infected people with injured limbs and difficulty moving. Their speed was slower and they had just rushed to the outskirts of the town.

They were the main targets of the mortars, and a large number of zombies were killed or injured on their way to the town. If they were not so widely spaced and dispersed, it would be hard to say whether they could get out of the town.

Ou Yang was not worried about the safety of the town at all.

The first wave of zombies didn't make much of a difference, let alone the second wave.

As for the third wave, it is basically composed of severely disabled zombies. They can neither run nor jump, and can only move by crawling. Although there are many of them, their speed is slow. At this moment, they are still crawling like snails near the railway!

There is no doubt that the third wave of zombies are living targets.

Another group of living corpses gathered under the watchtower, but they did not climb up. Instead, they gathered together and gnawed on the infected people who were killed.

Ou Yang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he stopped firing, he wouldn't attract more zombies.

But he didn't intend to be an idle spectator. Instead, he put down the M249, took Jiang Yuwei's submachine gun in his hand, set the speed selector to single shot, aimed at the zombies under the tower, and called out their names one by one from a high position.

I have to say that the silent weapon is very useful. It killed more than a dozen infected people in a row without attracting the attention of other infected people.

Unfortunately, there are not many bullets left.

After Ou Yang returned the gun to Jiang Yuwei, he threw a few grenades into the distance. The violent explosion knocked over several infected people. He thought the explosion would attract nearby zombies, but the result was just the opposite. The surrounding zombies actually fled further away.

Ou Yang was very surprised. He thought that this situation probably happened because the remaining zombies had instinctively thought that the explosion was dangerous.

It is not difficult to find that the zombie horde is no match for the garrison.

However, just when the garrison was about to secure victory, another train came into view.
