Chapter 1184: Raging Tide of Corpses
"Oh My God!"
"The city wall! The city wall collapsed!"
"Fuck, run!"
"Help! Help me, I'm stuck!"
"Ah! My legs..."
As the giant wall collapsed, the entire south gate turned into hell.
The ragged survivors poured out of the slums and ran into the streets with frightened faces, blocking the road to the south gate. Rescue vehicles and freight trucks escaping from the entrance to the city center were crowded into a ball, unable to move forward or back, and the anxious drivers cursed.
Affected by the aftermath, the industrial area not far from the slums also suffered considerable damage. Workers were hurriedly moving equipment out of the factory to prevent the structurally damaged buildings from collapsing.
The believers who were moving from the gymnasium to Ping'an Street were being settled at the east gate. Looking at the collapsed south gate, Xu Tiannan showed a look of horror. He immediately looked at the men beside him and ordered.
"Go to the south gate quickly and see what's going on there!"
"yes!"
Just as the subordinate was running towards the south gate, people on North Street at the north gate were also in a panic because of the collapsed giant wall.
Standing in the shadow of the street corner, Shura watched the rioting crowd indifferently, and his figure quickly disappeared among the people running away.
It was not just the giant wall that collapsed, but also the wall in the hearts of everyone on Ping An Street.
A wall called security.
Because of the explosion that occurred hundreds of meters below, the entire Ping An Street was boiling.
After discovering the situation at the south gate, Ding Liwei made a decision immediately.
The militia group immediately dispatched, raising the level of martial law throughout the city while allocating manpower to support the south gate.
A dozen modified trucks and police armored vehicles drove out from the West Gate and went around the gap in the huge wall of the South Gate. Soldiers jumped out of the vehicles and blocked the entrance to the South Gate to prevent zombies and alien species from entering and triggering a greater crisis. Chaos, on the other hand, sent out engineers and began to rescue people buried under the rubble...
"It's getting dark."
Climbing onto the concrete wreckage with rifle in hand,
Militia captain Song Chenyu stood on the ruins of the giant wall, looking at the zombies ready to move outside the giant wall, his face gradually becoming serious.
The gap in the wall is half a kilometer long. It is absolutely impossible to fill this gap in a short time. It would be possible to use barbed wire or other separation walls, but he doubted whether those temporary defenses could allow them to sleep well.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, less than two hours before dark.
Although these zombies are dull now, at night, not even the Deathclaw dares to mess with them.
What troubled him the most was that for zombies, the breath of the living was simply a natural bait. Ping An Street has a population of tens of thousands. To the bloodthirsty zombies, it is like a bright light in the night sky. He could almost predict what it would look like when the sky darkened.
"Pull up the barbed wire for me! Make sure to seal the gap before dark! The remaining people go to the warehouse and drag out all the usable weapons!"
While calling his subordinates to set up a defense line, Song Chenyu directed the shooters to deploy firepower points and clear out the zombies that were close to the city wall.
However, at this moment, a cry of surprise sounded.
"Look! Over there! What's that!"
Song Chenyu suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction across the street.
Soon, his pupils gradually dilated with a hint of fear.
At the corner of the street, zombies formed a swarm in twos and threes, gathering in the direction of Ping An Street with staggering steps. Different from the zombies standing still on the street, although their movements were still stiff, they showed obvious aggression and moved towards Ping An Street.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but from a distance, he could faintly see a trace of red light from the zombies' pupils...
…
boom--!
Like a strong wind blowing through, the rain of bullets falling from the sky tore the gathered corpses into pieces.
"Hoo-!"
Strings of waxy fat exploded from his body. Roshan covered his head with his thick arms and let out a painful scream.
Although the 20mm cannon could not penetrate his solid fat, it caused him great pain and abruptly blocked his progress. The plump body seemed to have been scalded by a frying pan, and it looked a bit more ferocious than before.
The Aurora-20 raised its nose and returned to the clouds. It adjusted its posture and began to prepare for the second round of air strikes.
The previous round of air strikes cleared a vacuum zone of the gathered corpses.
However, not long after, this vacuum zone was filled by new zombies, and they gathered together in groups again, slowly and tenaciously moving towards the direction of the internal medicine building of the hospital, moving their stiff legs. On the top of the building, there were dozens of figures standing.
After the "earthquake" of unknown cause occurred, Jiang Chen moved his personal guards to the internal medicine building.
Along with them, there were about fifty female slaves kept in captivity by the predators. At this moment, these people were squatting beside the water tank on the roof of the building with their eyes blank. They did not feel the joy of regaining their freedom at all. Some of them were just confused about not knowing the way forward. In order to prevent them from doing anything troublesome, he also assigned two personal guards to watch from the side.
Standing on the roof of the internal medicine building, Jiang Chen looked at the group of corpses that had gathered again and couldn't help but frown.
It would be fine if it was just zombies, but it was not just that. Among the corpses, he also saw spitters, throwers, and even mountains of meat...
Normally, these species usually hide in densely populated areas before the war, such as department stores and subway stations. However, now, even a place like Dongcheng Hospital is surrounded by a circle of dangerous zombies, which is a bit intriguing.
"it's getting dark."
Looking up at the darkening sky, Jiang Chen then looked at Lu Fan standing next to him and asked, "How long until the helicopter arrives?"
In order to prevent anti-aircraft vehicles from using the subway lines to snipe the airship, the Order moved to Qincheng, about 300 kilometers away from here, and parked above the Bohai Bay after completing the deployment of the expeditionary force.
As a medium-sized transport aircraft, the YZ-51 has a very impressive carrying capacity and very high stability, but it is not known for its speed. It would take an hour to get from Qincheng to Shangjing City if you go quickly.
But now, only half an hour has passed.
"We're almost there." Lu Fan replied.
"Where do you think these zombies come from?" Zhao Qiuran said nervously.
"I don't know," Jiang Chen shook his head and said solemnly, "My intuition tells me that it must be related to the earthquake just now."
Zhao Qiuran glanced at Jiang Chen secretly, and that look seemed to say, does this still require intuition? Everyone can see it.
Ever since that earthquake, the entire city of Shangjing seemed to have changed. Zombies such as spitters and throwers, which were almost hard to see on the surface, were now appearing in large groups. This has already been explained. the seriousness of the problem.
There was just one thing that Zhao Qiuran couldn't understand.
Is there any inevitable connection between earthquakes and zombies?
Do zombies also have intelligence and run to the surface to avoid earthquakes?
No, the safest one should be the subway. The subway of the Pan-Asian Cooperation is designed according to the specifications of a nuclear bunker. What does a few earthquakes mean? Even if all the buildings on the ground collapse, nothing will happen to the subway!
While Zhao Qiuran was thinking hard, Jiang Chen clicked on the holographic map and started searching along the map.
Soon, his eyes fell on the subway station next to Dongcheng Hospital.
After looking at the line of the subway station, Jiang Chen suddenly said.
"By the way, speaking of which, are your abilities useful against zombies?"
Zhao Qiuran was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
"Are you talking about telekinesis? It's useless. Those things only act on instinct and have no consciousness at all."
"That's it..."
Jiang Chen looked thoughtfully towards the direction of Ping'an Street, but Jiang Chen didn't speak again.
Not far away, the sky was already turning dusky.
The crumbling red sun seemed like it might set at any moment.
Once night falls, the entire world will no longer belong to humans... (To be continued.)
