After five days of resistance, under the command of the headquarters, Camp No. 27 chose to strategically retreat.
Very wise decision.
The core of Camp 27 is just the scientists. As for the buildings on the surface, it would not be a pity if they were abandoned. Anyway, the aliens do not have the habit of demolishing the houses. They can just take them back when the time comes.
And if we stick to this place, if the alien tide expands, first the supply line between Camp 27 and Fish Bone Base will be cut off. Without ammunition supplies, Camp 27, which is closer to the city center, will undoubtedly be in a hard fight. Although there is protection from the wall, the wall is not absolutely reliable when facing the tide of alien species.
Groups of zombies can build human ladders, baby zombies thrown by throwers can cross the wall, and Roshan, which likes to throw things, can even knock down the wall.
In order to fight against these tough creatures, Vault 27 even designed a simple flamethrower specifically for them. It is held by soldiers wearing power armor or full-angle body armor and standing in the front row to set fire to these mutated mosquitoes. The effect is extremely gratifying.
But in the face of the increasingly strong alien tide, optimism is becoming increasingly rare.
It had only been five days since the alien wave broke out, but the number of soldiers stationed in the camp had already been reduced by 15. If we continue to hold on, the consequences will be really unpredictable.
Under Wang Zhaowu's organization, Xu Lu, along with all non-combatants and some security personnel, retreated into the shelter and closed the door. Wait for the situation to stabilize before returning to the surface. The fuel rods and living supplies stored in the shelter are enough to support the survivors for two years. Alien tides tend to last only a few months
If nothing unexpected happens.
A total of 500 combatants loaded all ammunition supplies and fixed weapons onto the truck, and welded machine guns to the top of the truck.
Under the guidance of Hunting Tiger II. Trucks filed out of Camp 27 and crashed into the group of corpses wandering the streets.
The machine guns on the roof of the car continued to vent fire on both sides of the street, leaving orange bullet casings on the ground.
Zombies poured into the convoy like a tide, but most of them were torn into pieces by the fire net. Occasionally, fish that slipped through the net fell to the muzzle of the Ripper rifle.
In the distance, Roshan waved the street lamp in his hand and walked towards the convoy with cumbersome steps. Having found the target, the Hunter Tiger II slowly moved the turret, and the Type 50 electromagnetic gun suddenly fired out shells, penetrating the fat mass.
The road is paved with blood and bullet casings
Fish bone base.
Engineers are installing quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns on the fence. And the Type 50 electromagnetic gun to fight against large alien species. Soldiers with rifles patrolled the wall and fired at zombies from time to time.
Under the waving NAC flag, zombies were wandering under the wall with their heads hanging down. There was a faint bloodthirsty glare in those red eyes.
Normally, zombies during the day are not aggressive, but due to the tide of alien species, the situation has changed slightly. As if pulled by some kind of force, these zombies spontaneously gathered towards the location of the living people.
This situation is somewhat similar to that of X2 bacterial infection. However, the difference is that when the alien tide broke out, all the indicators in the air were normal.
The Fishbone base is far from the city center. So far, he hasn't encountered any serious alien species, but Jiang Chen has a feeling that this good weather will end soon.
Standing on the sentry tower on the wall, Jiang Chen looked at the distant streets with his binoculars.
suddenly. The figure of a Jagdtiger II appeared in his field of vision. The surface of the armor was covered with hideous chunks of flesh, and the tracks were stained black by the grease and blood of zombies. Then the outline of the truck following behind gradually became clearer. To prevent zombies from overturning the truck. The machine guns continued to unleash firepower, smashing the zombies approaching the convoy into pieces.
Jiang Chen put down the telescope. He picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke briefly.
"Clear the space at the door."
"receive!"
The soldiers who were originally waiting under the wall climbed onto the wall with rifles, and some rushed to the machine gun points. Some put their rifles on the shooting ports. Led by the knight wearing a mechanical exoskeleton, everyone rushed to the fighting position in the shortest possible time.
"Fire!" Following an order from a knight, the soldiers on the wall all pulled the triggers.
A very spectacular scene.
The orange-yellow projectiles rushed towards the zombies like a downpour, instantly knocking down the zombies that were approaching crookedly. The grenadier took out conventional grenades and Molotov cocktails from the ammunition box and threw them at the corpses.
The fire exploded, and broken limbs flew everywhere. When faced with the gunfire of the survivors, the flesh-and-blood zombies seemed completely powerless to fight back.
"It's easy to become inflated when facing ordinary zombies." Sun Jiao sighed as she walked to Jiang Chen's side and looked at the zombies that were suppressed by firepower.
At this moment, Sun Jiao had already put on a bulletproof vest, and her SK10 Sirius, which she had not used for a long time, was hanging on her chest.
After smiling, Jiang Chen did not answer, but took out a cigarette from his pocket and held it in his mouth.
In just one cigarette, every zombie under the wall had been cleared away.
At the same time, the convoy arrived at the door before the zombies gathered again. The soldier guarding the gate immediately pressed the button to open the door, and the steel gate slowly opened, letting in the convoy stained red by blood.
Several medical staff ran forward and dragged the injured person lying on a stretcher into the hospital for treatment. Several engineers wearing chemical protective suits and carrying plastic drums ran forward and washed the entire convoy with slender sprayers.
The tired soldiers jumped out of their vehicles and hugged and reunited with their waiting relatives. As for those who were covered in blood, they all chose to go to the bathhouse to take a hot bath first.
When they arrived at the base, their tense nerves could finally relax.
"I'll go there."
After putting out the cigarette butt on the wall, Jiang Chen said hello to Sun Jiao, then turned and walked downstairs.
At this moment, the entrance to the base can be described as a busy scene.
"Quick, quick! He's been covered in the spitter's acid."
"It's really fucking miserable. We need to deal with it first and then send it to the medical bay. Come and help me."
Stretchers passed by one after another. Due to the limited medical bay, many soldiers with minor injuries had to be transferred to the ward first and lined up. Some soldiers with serious injuries can only be treated by doctors on the spot and then sent to the medical cabin to recover.
Jiang Chen stopped and looked at the soldier whose face had been burned to the bone by the acid, and his stomach couldn't help but churn.
If you can survive this, you are considered lucky.
After a two-second pause, Jiang Chen continued to walk forward.
Walking to the front row of the team, next to the Hunter II, he saw Wang Zhaowu, who was in charge of leading the team.
Because he was sitting in the tank, Wang Zhaowu was in pretty good condition, at least he didn't suffer any external injuries. Although judging from the dark circles under his eyes, he might not have slept for a long time.
Handing the rifle in his hand to the soldier on the side, Wang Zhaowu neatly performed a military salute to Jiang Chen.
Without much greeting, Jiang Chen took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to his hand. This kind of finely crafted cigarettes has always been a hot-selling luxury item in the wasteland. Although he can buy it with his salary, not everyone has the honor of being handed cigarettes by the leader.
Seeing Wang Zhaowu take the cigarette in flattery, Jiang Chen smiled and asked in a casual tone.
"How is the situation at Camp 27?"
"It's very bad." A hint of gloom flashed across his face. Wang Zhaowu slowly blew out a smoke ring and said in a deep voice, "There have been casters and mutated mosquitoes in our place. On the way, we also met a group of people heading towards There are moving spitters in this area. Fortunately, the Jagdtiger II is at the front of the queue."
Throwers usually operate outside the city center but rarely enter the suburbs. Throwers have already appeared in Camp 27, so the tide of aliens has become stronger.
After a moment of pause, Jiang Chen continued to ask.
"Have you brought anything?"
"I brought it. Do you want me to take you to see it now?"
"Go now." Jiang Chen said.
Wang Zhaowu nodded, turned around and led Jiang Chen towards the center of the motorcade.
When the two arrived at the target location, several workers were already driving lift trucks to help unload the goods.
"That's it. Engineering robots and deep-sea mining equipment, but I'm afraid they won't be used now." Looking at the eight heavy containers, Wang Zhaowu said with a bitter smile.
In this current situation, we can’t even touch the beach.
That's not necessarily the case. Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously and did not answer.
It was not easy to move this deep-sea mining equipment from Camp 27. The entire equipment weighed 400 tons, and each container weighed 50 tons. In order to transport these boxes, Wang Zhaowu specially arranged four heavy-duty trucks in the middle of the queue. At the risk of slowing down the march, the equipment was dragged back.
Looking at the eight containers, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, the matter of deep-sea mining will be settled. The production of virtual reality helmets requires a large amount of molybdenum ore. At the current price of molybdenum ore, relying on imports to complete production will undoubtedly increase the cost of the helmet. If molybdenum ore is mined by oneself, Jiang Chen has calculated that the production cost of virtual helmets will be reduced by at least double.
"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Chen patted his shoulder and said.
"Hehe, it's not hard. It's much easier than staying at Camp 27." Wang Zhaowu smiled and waved the hand holding the cigarette butt.
"You go and take a rest first. Remember there will be a meeting in my office in two hours." Jiang Chen looked at Wang Zhaowu and said.
"yes!"
After giving a military salute, Wang Zhaowu immediately turned around and walked towards the living area.
After riding all the way, he was indeed a little tired. At this moment, he just wanted to go back and take a shower, and then take a nap before the meeting.
After Wang Zhaowu left, Jiang Chen looked at the workers on the side and ordered them to move the container to the backyard of the villa, and then walked towards the community center. (.)
