Doomsday rat

No matter how miraculous Hong Tao could be, he could kill the living corpses in the zombie tide, but in the face of more than 2000 soldiers, immunity to the zombie virus seemed useless, unless he was also immune to bullets, which was obviously too mythical.

"Just wait and see, since Grandpa Hong started to move, it must be more than just a sneak attack."

Zhang Ke also couldn't figure out how Hong Tao did it. More than a month ago, when the troops of the Southeast Alliance and the Southwest Alliance first started to clean up the local zombies, Pei Shanxi sent small boats to investigate several times.

Every time, they were spotted by scouts cruising within a few kilometers without even getting close to the side. Except for the loss of four air crew soldiers and two small boats, nothing came out, which shows how strong the local defense is. tight.

Zhang Ke thinks it is entirely possible whether Hong Tao can succeed in things that the air crew cannot handle.The reality just proved that his feeling was not superstition, but very well-founded trust.

"Then should we also respond? Send inland gunboats to cover part of the troops and take barges up the Guanhe River to the Yanhe River, and play by ear near Huai'an!"

Wada Renji, who already had no illusions about Hong Tao, not only regained his confidence, but also planned to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Taking advantage of the chaos in Huai'an, he sent surprise troops to make a surprise attack, trying to maximize the enemy's losses and solve the worries at once. .

If the enemy in the south can be eliminated, it will take a month to clean up the zombies in the urban area of ​​LYG with only three or four thousand troops assembled near LY. With this time buffer, the situation may change.

Regardless of the large number of people participating in the encirclement and suppression operations and their aggression, the volunteers who came from afar had to rely on the East Asian Alliance, the Southeast Alliance, and the Southwest Alliance to provide supplies, and their durability was seriously insufficient.

The longer the war drags on, the greater the internal disagreement will be. If the guarantee is not complete, it will be dispersed one day. It is difficult to pose a direct threat to Liandao with the strength of the Southeast Alliance and no sea control.

"...What do you think?" Zhou Yuan has been holding her shoulders and looking to the southwest since she read the telegram, as if she has the eyes to see what happened in Huai'an. He didn't express his position, but went to seek Zhang Ke's opinion.

"The current situation is still unclear, and the information provided by No. [-] is not exhaustive. I think it is better to listen to Grandpa Hong's suggestion and stay put. If such a big event really happened in Huai'an, there will definitely be more information in the future, and we will watch it later." It’s not too late to make a decision.”

Being able to serve as the deputy chief of staff of the alliance in his early twenties, Zhang Ke must have excelled in strategic deployment and has been recognized by the military.But this time he did not intend to show his military talent, but to continue to implement Hong Tao's arrangement, focusing on safety.

"Alright, I'll let you know the news first, whether it's true or not, it won't hurt to make the soldiers happy for a while." Hetian Renji didn't object, he took a long breath, calmed down his emotions, and then went down the stairs Walking down, I was glad that the good news came in time.

"Aunt Zhou, do you have an idea?" After sending Hetian Renji away, the calm expression on Zhang Ke's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked Zhou Yuan in a low voice.The elder is in a weird mood right now. Hearing such exciting news, he didn't go to have fun with the people. Instead, he frowned and looked at the sky. It's abnormal.

"Is the news true?" Zhou Yuan was indeed a little weird, mainly reflected in her slow reaction. She lowered her arms, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath before answering.

Chapter 1153

"Hey, so you are worried about this! Don't worry, even if I am ignorant, I still know what to say and what not to say at such a moment. It is indeed true. From the method of sending the report, it can be seen that Vice Minister Zhang personally sent it Yes, he wouldn't take the risk if it wasn't an urgent matter."

Such a question made Zhang Ke relieved. It turned out that Zhou Yuan suspected that she had fabricated the news of the frontline victory to boost morale.When the situation is really out of control, making up nonsense and deceiving people can indeed have short-term effects, but the side effects are too great.

"Then based on your analysis, where might the people who attacked the Huai'an base come from?" It seemed that Zhou Yuan didn't think Zhang Ke was lying, and she asked this question just to rule out a possibility.

"You're asking this question. Except for Grandpa Hong, who would take the initiative to wade into the muddy water at this time? It wouldn't be the foreign devils fighting among themselves!" Zhang Ke curled his lips, a little impatient with this kind of question.The matter is obvious, so why bother to ask questions knowingly.

"Can he really attack a military base guarded by 2000 people head-on, and still cause a lot of damage?" Zhou Yuan doesn't think her problem is mentally retarded. She has been thinking about a problem these days, what method can Hong Tao use to get out of the siege?

If there is indeed a way to think about before becoming the public enemy of all mankind, such as contacting the Southeast Alliance to jointly deal with the East Asian Alliance, or finding a place that is more suitable for development to recharge your energy and store up energy slowly.

But Gao Tianyi obviously also thought of these methods, making full use of a certain characteristic of human nature, and cut off all escape routes with one announcement.

Under such a premise, where would Hong Tao go to find such a powerful reinforcement?If there were no reinforcements, just him, Alexie, and Zhuma, even if everyone had three heads and six arms, would not be able to pose a real threat to the Huai'an base.

"...This...it seems...it can't!" Zhang Ke originally wanted to say that Grandpa Hong once fought against a hundred in Xinjiang Province, killing the Judgmentist to the ground, and even caused the final collapse of the Redeemer , but the words came to his lips and swallowed back.

He was instilled by Hong Tao since he was a child to be a wise man who thinks rationally, and he really couldn't say such automatic words.That's right, Hong Tao had indeed dealt a great blow to the Redeemer in Xinjiang Province, but the situation at that time was nothing compared to what it is now.

In Xinjiang Province, no matter how lonely Hong Tao is, he can still turn into a herdsman or a gold digger and move around more freely.And the repeated encounters between the adjudicator and him are all encounters, ambushes, and chases. With the blessing of many advantages such as strong personal ability, advanced equipment, and being in the dark, he can indeed win more with less.

But the current situation is completely different. Hong Tao has really become a rat crossing the street and everyone is shouting and beating. Not only is there no allied army like the rebels to divert the enemy's attention, there is no group of homeless gold diggers to hide their bodies, and there are no small groups of troops. Opportunities to be defeated one by one are completely passive, and they will be surrounded and suppressed by thousands of enemies as soon as they show up.

Under such extremely harsh conditions, even if he tried his best to find an advantage for Grandpa Hong in his mind, he had to admit that as long as he wasn't an invulnerable Superman, it was basically impossible to turn things around.

"But the reality is that he did it, so how do you explain it?" Seeing that Zhang Ke was left speechless by the question, Zhou Yuan did not intend to stop, and was still persistently entangled in this issue.

"...Maybe there will be another zombie siege!" Zhang Ke's mind is indeed relatively sharp. After thinking about it, he actually found the only possibility among many impossibilities.It's just that he didn't quite believe it himself, and he didn't have the confidence to say it.

"Well, yes, he didn't praise you for nothing. I've been thinking about this issue since I came here, and today I finally came to the same conclusion as you. He has no support other than zombies.

If my guess is correct, he has been searching for and taming the living corpses for the past few months, and then using the living corpses to gather an army of zombies, so he can't show up, let alone tell us the truth.

Only zombies can do it quietly. The siege forces that raided Huai'an also caused a lot of damage. When those guys cleared Huai'an, they must have done a detailed investigation of the zombie-controlled areas within hundreds of kilometers around them, and only after confirming that there were no living corpses Dare to act.

But they never calculated that there are people in this world who are good at taming living corpses. All the defense points are used to deal with people. They didn't expect that there would be a sudden attack of zombies.Look, with this explanation, does everything unreasonable make sense? "

At this time Zhou Yuan suddenly smiled, patted the back of Zhang Ke's head lightly, and gave full affirmation like she did when she was a child.She not only thought of this possibility, but also connected it with all the recent performances, and made limited speculations about the response of the Huai'an encirclement and suppression forces until the logic was smooth.

"Now they don't clamor to purify all human beings. They leave the zombie-controlled area and don't clean it up. They fight with their own people all day long, and even collude with foreigners. They deserve to be unlucky!" Regarding Zhou Yuan's deduction, Zhang Ke felt that There was nothing wrong with the logic, and then he grinned too.

It's so ridiculous, the house thief recruited ghosts to engage in a power struggle in the name of cleaning up the mutants, but in the end they were crushed by the army of zombies.Even though the vast majority of the dead and injured were not high-level people playing with power, it sounds very relieved!

"Happy is happy, but have you ever thought about it? From then on, he has really become a monster. No matter how you explain it, no one will believe it. And whoever supports him or gets close to him will also be classified as an alien."

But Zhou Yuan took a longer-term view than Zhang Ke thought. She not only considered the life and death in front of her, but also thought about the future trend of the situation.Manipulating the zombie army is indeed the only chance of winning, but the side effects of doing so are equally great, almost tantamount to severing all human beings, and there will never be a solution.

"...Damn it, what is this? It's so unfair!" Zhang Ke's smile froze immediately upon hearing this, and he was speechless for a long time. In the end, he could only express his emotions by cursing, and the solution was still zero. !

It has to be said that Zhou Yuan knew Hong Tao's character so well that she guessed the right direction.But it's just the direction. If she could see what Hong Tao was doing at this time, she would probably have a thought immediately from the bottom of her heart, alien!

HA urban area, Yingbin Avenue.With the deafening sound of footsteps, groups of zombies with sandbags, planks and even concrete blocks on their heads are marching unswervingly towards the north against the dense rain of bullets.

Occasionally, bullets hit their torsos and limbs, making crackling noises, but as long as the bones were not broken, they would not hesitate for half a second and continued to go north and north.

Even if a large-caliber shell landed in the middle of the team, it only exploded a small flower, and was quickly replenished by the zombies behind. Not only did the advancing team not lose, but there were more and more.

Looking south, it will make all life terrified.The mysterious army of zombies stretches and twists and turns beyond sight at a glance, and they are constantly flocking to the avenue along the roads, residential areas, bridges, and railways on a two- to three-kilometer-long horizontal line.

Hundreds of thousands?millions?Or more, no one can estimate the approximate number of this zombie army, and no one can see where the tail of its team is at night.

The flashing explosions from time to time can only illuminate a range of [-] meters around, like a firecracker thrown in the quicksand, neither can it change the overall shape, nor can it stop the momentum of advancement.

"Holy Mother, don't abandon your people..." At this time, the Yingbin Avenue is a dam lying in front of the quicksand, which is constantly being beaten by layers of waves and is crumbling.

In fact, this is already the third line of defense organized by the Southern Group that participated in the siege operation. Since the discovery of a large number of zombies moving northward in the afternoon, 800 soldiers from the Southeast and Southwest Alliance and more than [-] soldiers from all over the world gathered here. Volunteers, began an endless nightmare.

Since the zombie army appeared too suddenly, it was only [-] kilometers away from the base when it was discovered, and most of the southward withdrawal route was cut off. After a short discussion, the three officers in charge of the command thought that the number would not be too much, so instead of dropping a lot of baggage To retreat north in a hurry, it is better to organize a defense line first, rely on the main irrigation canal on the south side of the city and the Huaihe River into the sea to carry out effective defense, and make a final decision after receiving the comprehensive reconnaissance data of the Air Force at dawn.

Chapter 1154 Organized and Disciplined

It's a pity that the number of zombies far exceeded the expectations of the officers, and their actions were extremely consistent, as if they would use tactics.They first stormed the main irrigation canal bridge on the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, and the corpses they dropped almost filled up a flat ground hundreds of meters wide in the two waterways, successfully attracting the defense's attention to the east.

Just as the fierce battle was in full swing, bad news came from ten kilometers to the west. A group of zombies raided the bridge on the Yanluo Expressway. It was guarded by more than 200 volunteers from America, and they were breached in less than 10 minutes.

According to those who have withdrawn, the number of zombies attacking here is not many, but there are hundreds of blue devils among them.They used the corpses of the zombies as a springboard, jumped to the opposite bank after a few ups and downs, and became invincible after approaching the human position.If it wasn't for some reason that they didn't chase too far, it is estimated that no one would be able to withdraw.

When one point is breached, the entire defense line is no longer necessary. The human survivors had to evacuate to the Ninglian Expressway in a hurry to build a second defense line.

In the end, it was broken through within an hour. Now it is the last line of defense. All weapons, ammunition and supplies are stored in the area north of Yingbin Avenue.

"General Yu, please give the order to retreat. If you don't leave, we will be surrounded!" A small three-story building less than 500 meters away from Yingbin Avenue is the headquarters of the Southern Group.

In front of the writing desk with a map spread out, a burly yellow beard wearing a full set of American Army desert combat uniform and a night vision goggle on his tactical helmet was speaking loudly in English to a middle-aged man in a green camouflage uniform.

His unintelligible southern American accent tortured the young interpreter wearing glasses next to him. Fortunately, the meaning is relatively simple, and he finally managed to translate it with some guesswork.

"Staff Li, how is the situation in our army?" The middle-aged man known as General Yu is the commander of the most elite First Division in the Southeast Alliance. He was also an active soldier before the outbreak of the zombie disease. Basically calm, no panic.

"It's not very good... There are too many zombies, and their actions are extremely unified. If it weren't for the large number of our self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and the dense buildings along the route, I'm afraid we can't resist now. Just keep fighting like this, and the barrels will soon be destroyed." Replacement, the number of shells will not last until dawn."

The staff officers on the side put down their earphones, looked at the notebook on the table that counted the battle reports ahead, and gave a more pertinent assessment of the battle situation.Although I didn't express my personal opinion, I already got the answer from my eyes.

"Shit, it's shit! Those monsters running like dogs have body temperature. In your words, zombie dogs? Yes, they are zombie dogs. Zombies are under their command.

I saw with my own eyes that a tank was stopped by a zombie holding a steel pipe inserted into the tracks. God, the zombies can use tools!This kind of war is simply massacre, it's shit!I can't let the soldiers die here in vain, I must retreat, the sooner the better! "

But this kind of more reserved expression is obviously not recognized by the American military officer. He feels that the actual situation on the front line must be reflected to the battlefield commander in front of him. The focus is not on quantity but on quality.

He has participated in many zombie cleanup missions in the North American continent, and has never seen such an army of zombies with unified actions, clear goals, and tools.Fear of the unknown has already made him lose the courage to continue fighting, and he is even less willing to die abroad for the benefit of others.

As for the rhetoric and the ulterior motives in my heart, I probably forgot it by now.Still the same sentence, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, it is okay for thousands of people to besiege hundreds of people to take advantage, but it is okay for thousands of people to fight against at least hundreds of thousands of zombies.If they had known this would happen, no one would have come.

"Master, our officers on the front line also reacted in this way, especially the blue devils. They will always launch a group charge when the defensive firepower has just weakened. This is how the last line of defense was breached.

Obviously, this batch of zombies is very different from the ones we have encountered before. Before we fully figure out their source, it is safer to be conservative. The First Division is the most important reliance of the alliance. "

This time, he began to give suggestions before the translator finished reading the staff. Although he was not used to the bravado of this group of foreigners, he had to admit a fact. American military officers had strong observation skills and accurately discovered the anomalies.

"Order the supply troops to speed up the transfer... Hold on for another 10 minutes, and then retreat in an orderly manner. After the armored troops and engineers are cut off, lay all the mines we carry along the way! Pack up, we are also ready to withdraw... poke you The ancestors had eighteen fetuses!"

Seeing that none of his subordinates had the courage to fight to the end, even if Master Yu was not willing to leave behind the baggage that had been transported so hard, he could only follow the good advice.But when I remembered that those supplies were all saved from the mouths of the elders in my hometown, especially the weapons and ammunition that could not be effectively replenished once they were discarded, I cursed out my hometown dialect.

"Uncle, they withdrew!"

Just as the army of human survivors withdrew from the defense line of Yingbin Avenue one after another, a small village [-] kilometers away from the city center in the southeast direction was also surrounded by zombies.

On the roof, a dark zombie suddenly spoke, with a crisp female voice, standard articulation and clear articulate. At the same time, he stretched out his hands and took off a round helmet from his head, revealing a delicate young woman's face.

"How many times have I told you, unless you are in a room, you must not take off your helmet! Put it on quickly, this time there are many foreigners, and they are not equipped with large drones. If they are found by thermal imaging equipment, they will be punished." We're all doomed when the bomb hits!"

There was also a zombie sitting next to her. If it didn't move and didn't speak, it would indeed look no different from the silly zombies nearby from a distance.But obviously not. If you look closely, you can see that the body is a bit bloated, and the head is also wearing a round helmet.

"In such a hot day, it's too uncomfortable to cover people in tin cans. We have Xiaolan on guard and dogs on guard. There will be no danger within a few kilometers. Even if the plane comes to bomb, there must be sound. !"

Not only was the woman disobedient, but she even talked back, pounding her body with her fists as she spoke, and there was a thumping sound wherever she went. It sounded like it wasn't just tin cans, it must have been wrapped with other not-thin materials.

"Stop the main attacking force... Alexey, where have you been lingering?" The man didn't continue to ask the woman to put on the helmet, he reached out to wipe his face, opened a small door where his mouth was, and stuffed a stick into it. The cigarette was lit, and he raised the walkie-talkie and shouted impatiently.

"Hiss...I'm crossing the river in Yangzhong. There are too few bridges. It's only been halfway since the afternoon. Don't worry, Lord Jesus. I've counted. There are more than 200 zombies led by you and the angel. Wan, even if you use a thousand machine guns to shoot until dawn, as long as you two hide well, there will be no problem!"

Soon there was a beeping Chinese on the walkie-talkie, a bit lazy, full of complaints before being urged, and there was a rhythmic stepping sound in the background.

"How many zombies did you bring back?" The man in the helmet didn't quite believe the answer on the walkie-talkie. The two cross-river bridges walked for six or seven hours in a row, and it was only halfway here!Zombies can follow orders in an orderly manner compared to humans, and they will not be crowded, but they can accommodate more numbers per unit area, and the efficiency of crossing bridges is very high.

"With the angel's dogs, I found fourteen living corpses and called out all the zombies in the whole city, including those along the way. I roughly estimated the number according to the speed of crossing the bridge. It should be no less than 2000 million.

Hong, you once said that living corpses evolve by eating them. Can I try it too? If I lose a living corpse just once, maybe it will make my evolution more perfect! "

"I advise you not to try it lightly. The zombie virus in animals may not be the same as the virus in humans. If there is a conflict, not only will you not be able to evolve, but you may become a victim of the virus war.

Don't worry, we will be able to return to the capital base in a short time. At that time, we will remove all the equipment in the laboratory and find a place where no one will disturb you. You can do research at will, first approve ten living corpses, and slowly dissect them let's play! "

Chapter 1155 Disappointed decision

"2000 million... Hahaha, I really want to see Gao Tian's expression when he sees them. Do you think there are atomic bombs in the world now? If someone throws one to destroy us, won't we still be bombed to death? ?”

Now that Alexei has come out, there is a high probability that the man and woman on the roof are Hong Tao and Zhuma who have been missing for three months.In fact, as long as they listen to the voice of a woman, many people living in the capital base can immediately recognize the female announcer on the illegal radio station!

Hong Tao took Alexie along the Taihang Mountains for about four days at a leisurely pace, and met Zhuma, who had been waiting for a long time and was extremely anxious, near the Dashi River in Fangshan.

There is no way, Alexie lacks mountain training other than simple military training. On average, he can walk more than ten kilometers of mountain roads every day, which is already a test of physical fitness and willpower.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuan and Pei Shanxi attracted most of the attention. Gao Tianyi thought that he must have followed them and flew away, so he didn't send troops to search carefully, otherwise it would be a problem whether he could break out smoothly with his burden.

"You...you, you, you are really mutated!" When Alexei saw clearly that the creature carrying Juma on the rugged mountain road was not a human being, but a living blue devil, it was rare. He was really scared, really scared from the bottom of his heart, his eyes betrayed him.

"It's her, not me..." Not to mention that Alexei's jaw dropped in shock, Hong Tao was not used to seeing the blue devil in close contact with humans.He keeps saying that human beings have never been tolerant towards aliens, but in fact he is the same, even though he knows that the blue devil can't hurt himself, he always subconsciously regards it as a natural enemy.

"She listens to you? Or do you listen to her?" Alexie didn't know Zhuma, and he didn't know the relationship between this woman and Hong Tao.

"Generally speaking, she should listen to me... Come on, girl, let the uncle hug you!" In order to prove that he was telling the truth, Hong Tao opened his arms and hugged Zhuma who was flying over. There are actions that are not suitable for children.

"You raised it? Caught it? It was infected... Can you let me get closer?" Seeing such an intimate movement, Alexie no longer doubted it. The fear just now turned into curiosity in an instant. Before Zhuma finished her meeting ceremony, she leaned forward to ask questions.

"Who is he?" Zhuma didn't know Alexei either. Seeing that this strange-looking man was so rude, she immediately pulled her face away and raised her right hand to wait for Hong Tao to answer that he was a random prisoner. Then she snapped her fingers and handed over Give it to the Blue Devils.

"...He saved my life, but he can't be a friend yet, let your Smurf carry him. We are a little tight on time, go to the launch station first, and talk while walking!"

Hong Tao intended to scare Alexie, but remembering that there were so many people in the base and safe zone who might be implicated by him, he had to put away the joy of reunion after a long absence and continue on his way.

"God...forgive me...hey, is this hair?" Alexie originally wanted to refuse, but unfortunately his mouth was not as fast as the blue devil's, and he was thrown onto his back in a daze before his eyes. Step forward to explore the way.

At this time, it is clear whether he is really crazy. Alexie only panicked for more than ten seconds, and found a new research topic on the back of the blue devil. Forget it.

"He was also infected?" Zhuma was the first to see someone so calm in the face of the blue devil, and couldn't help thinking of something else.

"No, he is a scientist who specializes in the study of zombie viruses. He has dissected zombies and blue devils, and he is no stranger to living corpses. How many zombies can you command now, have you tried it?"

For Alexie's performance, Hong Tao had expected it a long time ago and didn't take it seriously.Now he doesn't have time to pay attention to the state of this scientific madman. Whether he can turn the tide depends on Juma's ability.

"I've never tried that..." Juma shook her head.

"How about distance control?" Hong Tao continued to ask.

"Sister Lan and I can communicate within two kilometers, but we haven't tried any farther...does it matter?" Zhuma finally couldn't bear it anymore, trying to figure out Hong Tao's intentions.

"Try it on the road. Tell him about the injury when you are resting at night. You can tell all the details. Now you need to gather and command a large number of zombies. Doing so will probably become the public enemy of all mankind. There is no need to hide it from us. is abnormal.

I will give you a chance to choose, think carefully before answering.As long as you take this step, you will never be able to turn back, and you will never be able to return to the human community to live a normal life in the future. Remember, it is forever! "

Even if Zhuma is his only reliance on turning things around, and he saved her life, Hong Tao still has to give him a chance to choose.It's not that he pays attention to fairness in his bones, but that he doesn't want to turn against each other in the future.

Using zombies to check and balance a small group of survivors who are passionate about power and use unscrupulous means, the starting point cannot be said to be bad, and the ending may not necessarily be bad, but this matter must, 100%, definitely not win the overwhelming majority understanding of survivors.

No way, this is no longer a matter of IQ or wisdom, but a life-and-death struggle between one race and another, and it will always be a zero-sum game, without compromise and win-win.

Under this premise, Juma's will is crucial, because only she can command zombies, and she does not have this ability.You can force her to agree now, but if she regrets it in the future, she will basically be unable to check and balance.
