"The commander-in-chief only gives orders. Those of us who can survive until now have earned our dues. What's more, we are soldiers, and dying on the battlefield is the best destination for us."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, just give the order. Aren't you just fighting the zombies? Only by eradicating these zombies here can our relatives be safe!"
"Commander-in-Chief, here are all the men in charge. If you are afraid of death, you should not join the army!"
The soldiers below expressed their opinions one after another, which reassured Li Yuanhong, and he began to deploy.
It was night, the cold wind was blowing on the plateau, and the zombie army was walking slowly and darkly. Due to the steering, the zombie army was a little confused. After all, these zombies did not have modern communication equipment, so the order transmission was not so smooth. Moreover, these zombies entered the plateau due to the , and did not wear human cold-proof clothing, so many zombies had their hands and feet stiff from the cold.
Therefore, the zombies who passed the orders moved slower. Due to the poor transmission of the orders, the forward troops had begun to turn around, while the rear troops were still moving forward. This caused a collision in the middle of the zombie group and the two sides were crowded. Together, many zombies don’t know where to go.
Under the cover of darkness, the human army of more than 10,000 people began to quietly approach the zombie army. Since the machines driven by humans were very slow, the sound of the engines was not loud, but at night, the sound was enough to attract the attention of the zombies. . However, due to the chaotic retreat of the zombies, noisy sounds filled the sky, which actually covered up the noise of the engine.
When the army was less than 500 meters away from the zombie group, the zombies still did not find the human army. At this time, the tanks and artillery in the army opened fire, and the fierce artillery suddenly exploded among the zombies. The overcrowded zombies were killed by the artillery fire. The force was brought into full play. In just one salvo of tank fire, thousands of zombies died under the gunfire, and countless zombies were injured.
Suddenly encountering a human attack, the chaotic group of zombies became even more chaotic. The group of zombies that were originally crowded and wanted to turn around and retreat, due to instinct, many zombies turned around and wanted to charge towards the human attacking troops. This made the zombies close to the human team. , chaos also occurred. Originally, these zombies had turned around and were preparing to withdraw from the no-man's land. However, this time, this group of zombies was led back to the no-man's land by humans.
This time, humans did not retreat after seeing the zombies. Instead, they began to charge with indomitable spirit. After the tank fire, there was the charge of armored vehicles. Various guns stretched out from the armored vehicles and began to shoot at the approaching zombies.
Because the zombies rushing in front were all ordinary zombies. Although they were wearing thin armors, these armors could not protect themselves from flying bullets. So these zombies fell in pieces in front of the human armored vehicles, just a face-to-face encounter. , the zombies killed and injured thousands more.
However, the characteristic of zombies is that they are huge in number. There are millions of zombies moving towards humans behind them, so the number of thousands is not even a drop in the bucket. Therefore, the zombies still charge forward one after another. In less than five minutes, humans Before the armored vehicle was released, a mountain of corpses more than one meter high was raised. There was also an armored vehicle that was approached by zombies and was destroyed by zombies.
At this time, Sarus was still in the middle of the corpse group, directing the zombies to retreat. The human artillery fire attack at the beginning did not attract his attention. After all, the zombies in the corpse group kept roaring and the noisy sound made Sarus uncontrollable. He was aware of the sound of human artillery fire for the first time. However, Sarus soon realized that something was wrong. The retreating zombie group suddenly had a gap. Many of the zombies behind turned around and rushed into the no-man's land.
In fact, we can't blame Sharus for his slow response. Since there are hundreds of millions of zombies, although the zombies are densely packed, the team is one or two hundred kilometers long in front and back, and several kilometers wide. Such a long team The team itself faced the disadvantage of poor information transmission, and coupled with the noise of the corpses, it seriously affected Sharus' control of the team.
"What happened? Why didn't the group of corpses at the back retreat?" Sharus grabbed a messenger next to him and asked.
"Sir, I don't know either!" The messenger stayed beside Sharus and had no idea what was happening to the corpse group.
"Then why don't you hurry up and check it out for me!" The angry Sharus threw the messenger away fiercely.
Although the messenger was thrown to the ground, he didn't dare to complain. He quickly got up and ran towards the group of corpses that had caused the chaos.
It took more than an hour before the messenger came back and said, "It's not good, sir!"
"What's wrong?" Sarus was shocked. There were quite a few zombies who suffered accidents due to the no-man's land environment in the past two days. Could it be that the zombies behind had suffered accidents again
"No, sir, the team behind was attacked by humans. Now we have tens of thousands of casualties!"
"What! Damn humans dare to provoke us, Shi Ke can't be killed. Send me an order to kill them back and surround them!" Sharus roared.
However, this order only caused the zombie group in the middle to move. Even so, there were nearly 100 million zombies surrounding humans.
Although Sarus was reckless, he also knew how to outflank and annihilate. He did not directly lead the corpses back to the team that was attacking the humans. Instead, he divided his forces into two groups and surrounded the humans from the left and right sides. His intention was to Two huge pincers are to be formed to completely surround and annihilate mankind.
But as soon as Sharus moved, the human team also moved. Li Yuanhong was not on the front line, but in the middle of the convoy, several monitor screens were being monitored. All zombie movements in the past two days were under the surveillance of drones. Next, Li Yuanhong was able to notice the zombie's turn immediately. At this time, zombies were surrounding him, and Li Yuanhong also saw it. When the corpses on both sides were less than one kilometer away from him, Li Yuanhong issued an order to retreat while fighting, so that the entire team was less than one kilometer away from the corpses, and All the tanks retreated and opened fire, keeping the zombies in a position of being beaten but unable to overtake the humans.
The reason why Li Yuanhong did this was, firstly, to lure the zombies, so that the zombies would soon catch up with humans and would not give up the pursuit. Secondly, the zombies were always beaten, which was undoubtedly a problem for Sharus. This kind of "slap" slap in the face, he has never suffered such a loss. Every time, the human being he chases hides and hides, how can he dare to fight back, but now the human being not only fights back, but also seems to be teasing him, which makes Saru The anger in Si's heart grew stronger and stronger.
As a result, the horde of corpses followed the human team for a whole day and night, and the entire horde of corpses went hundreds of kilometers deep into no man's land.
But at this moment, the entire zombie team slowed down, because the continuous pursuit consumed a lot of zombie energy. Zombies can indeed pursue or kill with unlimited physical strength, but these are at the cost of consuming their own energy. During this period, the zombies have been continuously chasing and have been severely overdrawn. You must know that this is a plateau no-man's land, lack of oxygen and low temperature. , consuming the energy of zombies all the time, and there are no humans to prey on in the no-man's land, which has caused zombies to freeze to death.
Another major threat to zombies is drinking water. Zombies usually don't need to drink water, that's because they can get moisture from the air and food, but in this no-man's land, the air is cold and the moisture content is not very high, and there is no food supplement, which makes their bodies internal The moisture is lost quickly. What's even worse is that although there are many lakes in the no-man's land here, most of those lakes are saltwater lakes, and the water cannot be used at all. What makes the zombies even more painful is that even if they encounter freshwater lakes, the low-temperature lake water will It took away a lot of the few calories in their bodies. Many zombies drank too much lake water, and they froze to death soon after.
As the first zombie froze to death, the dead zombies continued one after another without stopping. Later, the entire group of zombies seemed to be suffering from a plague, and zombies fell in droves. This made Sharus regret it very much. Go deep into this barren land.
In fact, Sarus had already planned to retreat again before, but as soon as his idea of retreating came up, a soldier reported that a human tank was found in front of him, motionless there.
This discovery made Sharus excited, so he hurried to the tank with a few generals.
At this time, the tank was lying quietly on the wasteland. The cold wind made the tank cold. The engine that had been turned off for a long time had no heat. The most important thing was that the cover on the top of the tank was open.
The zombies surrounding the tank did not dare to move rashly. They just stood around the tank and waited quietly for their leader to arrive.
"Have you checked inside?" Sharus asked.
"Lord Qi, we checked and there are no humans or traps inside." A captain leading the forward team replied.
"Okay, let me take a look!" Shalus said as he boarded the tank.
I saw that the tank was quite messy, with some human food instant bags scattered inside, and even some unopened canned meat. Apparently the humans left the tank in a hurry. It's no wonder that humans sitting on a tank consume very little energy, but tanks consume energy all the time. This abandoned tank is likely to have run out of energy.
In fact, Shalusi's guess was not correct. Li Yuanhong sent Fatty Lu's spaceship to follow him quietly. Fatty Lu's spaceship was equipped with a teleportation array, so supplies could be transported continuously. The reason why Li Yuanhong wanted to abandon the tank was because Li Yuanhong was worried that the zombies would give up the pursuit, so he wanted to give the zombies some hope.
In addition, Li Yuanhong's team also began to experience attrition. Due to the high altitude, many soldiers suffered from altitude sickness. This disease, if not treated in time, may kill them, so Li Yuanhong had to transfer these soldiers to the spacecraft. Therefore, the entire team , there was a problem of insufficient people driving tanks and armored vehicles, so Li Yuanhong took this opportunity to abandon some tanks and make the zombies think that he was about to die.
