I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

After hearing what Master Yan reported, Qin nodded and instructed through the headset, "Old Yan, keep a close eye on the zombies' movements."

"Yes!" Yan Shikai replied quickly.

After giving his instructions, Qin Zhong's gaze fell on Zheng Xiansen and he ordered, "Old Zheng, order the artillery to extend their fire and bombard the rear of the zombies. Don't hurt the survivors in the front!"

"I understand!" Zheng Xiansen agreed, turned around and took his men to the artillery.

"Everyone else, take your positions and wait for the order to fire!"

Qin Zhong looked at the others and asked Dong Shanjia, Wang Boshen and Xiao Yingyong to stay with him. The others quickly returned to their own troops' defense areas and began to make pre-battle mobilization and preparations.

After all, most of these soldiers were ordinary citizens before the end of the world. Not to mention participating in a battle, even touching and firing a gun was their first time.

Although they had undergone several days of emergency training, most of the soldiers could only be considered ordinary people who could shoot. Not to mention going out of the city and fighting zombies with cold weapons, it was good enough that they could calmly shoot when a group of zombies attacked the city.

Soon, all the captains and team leaders returned to their teams, leaving only Xiao Yingyong, Wang Boshen and twenty or so veterans. These veterans were different from the other recruits.

The recruits were frightened when they saw the sounds of fighting, gunshots and the roars of zombies coming from outside the dark city wall.

These veterans, having followed Qin Zhong through the battle of Qingyang Town, had gained some courage and were not so afraid when facing zombies.

Wang Boshen had previously assigned most of the veterans who had participated in the Battle of Qingyang Town to various combat battalions, at least as squad leaders, to help the captains train new recruits.

But there were also more than twenty veterans who were not willing to take the trouble to train newcomers. In their words, they had no desire for power and no ability to be an official. They just wanted to follow Qin Zhong and kill people everywhere.

Therefore, Qin Zhong simply formed these twenty or so veterans into a small team, called the Guards, and handed it directly to Xiao Yingyong.

Qin Zhong even promised that as long as he dared to fight and made contributions, he could become an evolver like the team leader.

"Boom boom boom..." The deafening noises instantly tore through the silence of the battlefield.

Under the command of Zheng Xiansen, thirty-six Type 65 double-barreled anti-aircraft guns deployed in the city and on the city walls spewed out hot flames from their muzzles, and one shell after another was like a meteor, streaking across the sky and whistling towards the dark group of zombies behind the survivors.

In an instant, countless shells exploded among the zombies. Each explosion was like the scythe of the god of death, swinging down fiercely, setting off a storm of flying flesh and blood.

The flames of the explosion instantly swallowed up the darkness covered by the rainstorm, illuminating everything around. The dazzling light was like the raging fire of hell, mercilessly devouring a large number of zombies.

The shock wave generated by the explosion was like a violent hurricane, knocking the zombies around the explosion point to the ground one after another. In just a moment, the bodies of a large number of zombies were blown to pieces.

Countless zombies were blown into the air and fell heavily to the ground. But before they could get up, they turned into piles of blurred flesh and blood under the feet of the zombies swarming over.

"fire!"

Under Zheng Xiansen's hysterical command, the anti-aircraft guns and tanks were like crazy beasts, spewing out flames of death non-stop.

The deafening sound of artillery fire stunned the new recruits on the city wall. They looked at the flaming flowers blooming in the wilderness outside the city wall and were shocked, but at the same time, their confidence was gradually growing!

As these flowers of fire bloomed, the lives of countless zombies came to an end. For a moment, the flames and thick smoke from the explosions intertwined to form an astonishing and shocking work.

Tragic explosions continued to be heard from the zombie horde. With the explosions, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and limbs were scattered everywhere. A large number of zombies in the back half of the zombie horde seemed to be caught in a vortex of destruction.

The new recruits on the city wall witnessed this scene with expressions of shock and awe on their faces.

The roar of the anti-aircraft guns ignited the burning fire in their hearts, making them believe that this life-and-death battle might really be viable.

……

Because Songcheng's artillery bombardment came at the right time, the zombies chasing the survivors were in chaos, which also gave the survivors a glimmer of hope.

But unfortunately, these survivors are too tired. After all, the apocalypse has been going on for more than half a year. During this period, they haven't been able to eat or sleep well...

They have to worry about zombies attacking them every day, so most of the survivors are in very poor physical condition. Even in this rainy day and dark sky, they still have to run away desperately.

When people are nervous, they will waste extra energy. By this time, even though they knew that Songcheng was not far away and the zombies were in some chaos due to the artillery fire, everyone still ran with little energy.

Sure enough, not long after, most of the survivors began to stagger, and the team became extremely long. Those who ran fast crossed the stone bridge and ran towards the city gate, while the old people, women and children at the end of the team were still some distance away from the stone bridge.

Compared to these tired survivors, the zombies behind them, which had been a little confused before, began to become more and more crazy under the artillery fire, and began to chase them madly, getting closer and closer.

The noise and smell of so many survivors gathered together could not be covered by a mere rainstorm and thunder...

"Two more rounds of artillery fire, then stop!"

Qin Zhong looked into the distance through the telescope. He also noticed this situation. Moreover, zombies are not like humans who feel pain and are afraid. Even if these rounds of artillery fire killed some zombies, the damage was actually very limited.

Moreover, the zombies move very fast, and most of them are about to cross the last bombardment line. If the bombing continues, it is easy to injure the survivors, which will not be worth the loss.

So, Qin Zhong gave orders to Zheng Xiansen. After arranging the artillery's tasks, Qin Zhong looked at Wang Boshen beside him and said, "Have everyone check their weapons and spare weapons again! We have to prepare for a tough battle!"

Qin Zhong looked outside the city wall and saw the sea of ​​corpses spreading like a black ocean behind the survivors, and he couldn't help but shudder.

He probably thought all the zombies nearby were coming over. He thought for a moment and said to Xiao Yingyong beside him, "Xiaoying, go to the city below and ask Mr. Xue and Niu Ding to organize the survivors and be ready to join the battle at any time!"

"By the way, Dong Shanjia, arrange to open the weapons depot and arm all the survivors. The two battalions in the city will remain stationary for now, but they must also be ready to serve as reserve forces at any time."

"Ah! Even the survivors are going to join the battle?"

Xiao Yingyong was shocked when he heard this and asked worriedly, "Brother Qin, is it this serious?"

Qin Zhong did not answer her question directly, but nodded solemnly. If there were only a few thousand or even tens of thousands of zombies, he was confident that he could handle it.

But there are too many zombies, tens of thousands of them. If a big war breaks out, the smell of blood, the sound of gunfire, and the sounds of fighting here may attract the attention of Lan Zongchao in the dark, or even the intelligent zombies among the zombies.

By then, there's no telling how many zombies will arrive, a hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand?
