Chapter 84 Corpse Tide

The goods were delivered the next day.

Almost everyone in the sixth block is busy with expeditions, so the risk of small actions such as smuggling and smuggling is much smaller.

There were only four people who came to deliver the goods this time, and it was estimated that they were all Zhao Chenwu's confidants, and his secretary Su Lei personally led the team. The soldier in charge of the escort handed over control of the ten slaves to Jiang Chen, gave a neat military salute, and left in a hurry.

Looking at the infantry vehicle painted with urban camouflage, and the surprised faces in the dark "silly big man", Jiang Chen smiled, stepped forward and patted the nearest person on the shoulder. Then he greeted his men to start unloading.

If the mechanical exoskeleton is compared to "light armor", the meaning of power armor is roughly similar to the full-body heavy armor of medieval knights. It is usually divided into land combat type and airborne type, the difference is mainly in the weight of the armor, and whether it is equipped with a vortex engine for slow descent. The weight of the airborne type is usually less than 500KG, while the land combat type is often more than 1 ton.

These 10 T-3 power armors belong to the airborne type, but the switchable triangular revolver machine gun and the ammunition supply box mounted on the back are welded on the right hand.

Fortunately, Lu Huasheng designed an elevator at the entrance of the sewer. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to get the armor that is more than two meters high and weighs about 300 kilograms up by means of ropes. These ten slaves obviously didn't know how to operate this stuff. They looked at Jiang Chen with the expression that they were locked in a coffin just now.

Apparently, they knew it was illegal to sell such gear.

Since it is illegal...

Then I'm afraid that their current genetic ID has been registered as a dead person in the sixth block.

As for whether it will become a real dead person? It all depends on what the smiling man thinks.

"Welcome to the Fishbone Survivor Base. Trust me, working for me is definitely happier than working for anyone in this world..."

Although this tone is like bragging, it seems that it will not die.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed the man's pace with an uneasy mood.

After handing over the ten people to Lu Huasheng to arrange accommodation and work, Jiang Chen quickly found Sun Jiao.

"The weapons and armor are in place, when are we going?" Sun Jiao asked when she saw Jiang Chen.

"In two days, can I get in touch with the surrounding survivor groups?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No problem, the radio equipment in the conference room is fine... But what's the use of getting in touch with them?" Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

"Of course I'm taking them to fight monsters." Jiang Chen's mouth raised a smile, and he dropped this line of unknown meaning.

There are too many survivors living scattered around. If they are all integrated, I am afraid there will be two or three thousand people. If the Fishbone Survivor Base wants to get rid of the constraints of population, then it has to pay more attention to the scattered survivors.

These survivors who have been struggling in the apocalypse for many years are often mentally more tenacious than ordinary people, or in other words, perverted. Its personal combat power is by no means comparable to those of the "slaves" huddled in the slums. However, the difficulty is that they have long since believed in discipline or civilization, and they are all as rebellious as wild wolves.

To subdue the dog, a bone and a rope are enough.

However, it is absolutely impossible to tame a wolf with just a bone and a rope. They will take the bones unceremoniously, but they will never bow their heads willingly and accept the restraint of the collar willingly.

Unless they have overwhelming force, they don't even dare to unite to resist.

And showing off firepower is the second purpose of this expedition.

It is best to pull them to the battlefield, help share the pressure of the corpse tide, and promise to give them a part of the spoils, so that these people's dependence on the fish bone base will further increase.

Now the zombies' brains are generally condensed with sub-crystals. Jiang Chen doesn't believe that the survivors will not be tempted by this. Even if Jiang Chen and the others don't have the heavy firepower of tanks, the power armor can still be considered crushing against ordinary zombies. Those survivors should have no reason to refuse the good thing that is guaranteed to make a profit.

The next morning.

The fishbone base has been busy for a long time. Soldiers rushed to the fighting positions. Some non-combatants were busy loading supplies like cars, while others erected polyethylene isolation boards in front of the gate to enclose a buffer area for the gate to prevent zombies from rushing when the door was opened. into the base.

Outside the fence is equally busy. The crowd of zombies perfectly interprets the term corpse tide. The rotting bodies blocked the streets outside the wall.

Hell, it's as if the entire district's zombies have been stuffed into this street.

"Weapon system, normal. Vortex engine, normal... By the way, and fuel rods, normal!" Jiang Chen retrieved the data in the digital helmet with some headache. Although he has experienced the power armor several times in the virtual reality system, and he has also been familiar with the real guy a few times yesterday, the feeling that his whole body is locked in an "iron box" always makes him feel strange.

Painted black, strong and lightweight streamlined C-shaped plastic-steel armor (non-modern PVC profiles), a triangular revolver machine gun pendant on the right-hand side wall, and a tactical rifle hanging from the waist, almost armed to the teeth .

Although it looks really cool, it is unexpectedly troublesome to wear...

Sun Jiao glanced at Jiang Chen worriedly, then took a deep breath and waved to the sentry on the wall.

The sentry saluted quickly, and then ran quickly to the position of the high-bullet machine gun.

Sun Jiao was the commander of the team for this operation.

"Get ready to go, turn on the weapon system, be careful not to let the zombies break through the formation, our supplies are all in the car, do you understand!"

"Understood!" The eight Power Armor fighters behind him shouted in unison, then closed the visor of their helmets.

"Open the door!" Sun Jiao shouted to the combatants next to her, made a gesture, and then closed her mask.

The steel gate slowly rose, and the zombies seemed to smell the fragrance of the food, and cast their empty eyes to the gap here.

Da da da--!

"Call me!"

The machine guns on the two towers have begun to vent their ammunition, and the orange fire tore the zombies one by one, smashing the broken body into several pieces. However, it was only a drop in the bucket, and the sea of ​​corpses that was like a tide was still howling and rushed towards the gate.

"charge--!"

The people in power armor protected the raider infantry vehicle in the center with a sharp arrow formation, and ruthlessly cut a gap in the zombie's encircling net. The stumps without arms and legs were shaking on the ground. As long as the brains were intact, the zombies would not really die.

However, at this moment, there is no time to refill the guns for these guys. Under the cover of fixed machine guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns, the soldiers in power armor are holding the armor on their left arms, and the revolving machine guns in their right hands are spraying fire snakes. Like a torrent of steel, it directly ran over the corpses of the living dead.

Across the steel, the sticky feeling of flesh and blood from the soles of his feet made Jiang Chen feel his stomach churning. But for those hideous-looking zombies, he actually looked down on them a lot.

They are no longer human.

Some are not even human at birth.

When the sturdy front armor collided with the zombies that tried to bite him, the strength of technology was highlighted. The two pairs of vortex engines on the waist and shoulders on the back sprayed out a faint blue arc. Letting those zombies nibble on the icy armor uselessly, Jiang Chen gradually pushed the output power to the maximum, maintaining a formation with his teammates, and pushing forward against a pile of zombies.

If the momentum of the charge stops, they will have to face the desperate situation of being surrounded by zombies. Although the claws of these ordinary zombies can't scratch the steel armor, if they are gathered together, they will form an absolute numerical advantage. There is no pressure to squeeze and deform the armor and overturn the vehicle.

Even if they have an absolute advantage in equipment, no one dares to be careless and use firepower to "evacuate" the corpse tide.

However, the zombies cannot be killed, even if all the bullets in the base are emptied. All they need to do is break out, not waste ammo on these dead things.

The zombies that passed through the gap slammed into the front armor of the Assault Infantry Vehicle and were directly run over to the ground. The heavy tires left a bloody trail on the ground. The 20mm cannon at the top of the carriage spewed fire snakes, and the orange-red ballistics shot the skinny body up, or shot off the waist.

In the end, the entire team forcibly tore a gap in the zombie's surrounding net, ran over the twitching stumps, and rushed out of the street full of zombies.

"How do you feel?" Sun Jiao's concerned voice came from the private channel.

"It's alright." Jiang Chen took a few deep breaths in a row, slightly stabilizing the restless heartbeat in his chest.

Turning off the revolving machine gun in the right hand, everyone pulled out the tactical rifles around their waists. They had already rushed out of the encirclement, and they no longer needed to maintain high-density firepower.

The zombies are still rushing towards the crowd, but they are much sparser. As if to confirm his previous hunch, these zombies may have consciously gathered near the base. After crossing a street again, they could hardly see the shadow of the zombies.

"This is really hell."

"Don't be careless, pay attention! Turn on the radio life detection device."

"receive."

"No xenophobia within a radius of 500 meters."

......

A series of reports made the public channel a little confusing for a while.

Generally speaking, a sudden drop in the density of zombies can only be one case, that is, there is a particularly powerful alien species nearby. Although zombies hunt all living creatures, their main prey are living creatures whose life energy is close to that of humans. If you encounter a monster with hundreds of sub-crystal points at every turn, or a place like a mother's nest of a different species, the zombies will still unconsciously move away from it.

But this obviously doesn't seem like a normal situation. Not to mention alien species, not even a mutant cockroach can be seen on the street.

Ruined billboards, random abandoned cars...

They became the only living things on the street.

Flicking the sticky blood on the armor on his left arm, Jiang Chen's face showed a strange expression as he looked at the empty street.

The ominous feeling grew stronger.
