The young man's name is Zhou Yan. When the apocalypse broke out and the security zone began to be converted into a base, he came here as soon as possible, bringing many employees from the company with him.
Although he had no special skills and had not yet awakened any special abilities, he was living a relatively good life in the base because he had won over these employees.
The weakling in front of him was also one of the employees in his company, a newly graduated intern. He was not very strong and had a small courage. He just followed others in everything. Zhou Yan had wanted to kick this guy out before, but a few days ago, this guy suddenly became strange. The strangest thing was that when he accidentally met him that morning, he stared at him for a long time, and then shouted excitedly: "Zhou Yan! You are Zhou Yan!"
Listen, how fresh, Mr. Zhou, who has called me for several months, doesn't even know my name? And he acts like he has finally found him after searching for hundreds of years.
Zhou Yan was a smart man, so he naturally paid attention to this. He then discovered that this intern named Xu Tianjin had also changed a lot in other aspects. He was like a completely different person. And the way he looked at him was a little strange, as if he was a little afraid, a little entangled, and a little flattering.
The strangest thing happened today. When they went out to look for supplies and the rain started, Xu Tianjin's face changed and he insisted on going back to the base as soon as possible. They were all looking for a place to hide from the rain and were ready to take action after the rain stopped, but Xu Tianjin was extremely persistent and excited. Zhou Yan wanted to see what he was doing, so he agreed to go back in the rain.
The result was that the zombies that were drenched in the rain started rioting as if they were possessed by demons. Fortunately, they moved fast, otherwise they would have been trapped in the horde of zombies.
Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes and patted the distraught Xu Tianjin: "Xiao Xu, don't worry, we are back, the base wall is very strong."
Xu Tianjin looked at him and came back to his senses: "Yes, it's very solid."
At this time, most of the people outside the base gate had come in, but zombies continued to appear, so the base began to close the gate.
This is a five-meter-high gate made of thirty-centimeter thick steel plates, embedded in a seven- or eight-meter-high city wall made of thicker concrete and steel bars. The whole thing looks very domineering. When it is closed, the sound of electric current and the heavy sound of the pulley rolling can give people a strong sense of security.
At this moment, a car rushed over from the rain in the distance, and the people in the car shouted: "Close the door in a moment!"
The two lines of guards who had already gathered inside stopped, and the middle-aged man in a raincoat at the head stood inside the gate and shouted, "Show your identity information, and come in after verification."
Ye Xiao jumped out of the car and walked over to the front, soaking wet in the rain. "I am not from the base. I am Ye Xiao, the captain of the special operations team codenamed 23***n11. This is my officer ID. There is a convoy from Yang City about to arrive three kilometers away. I hope the base can open the gate and let us in."
The other party took the wet officer's certificate and looked at it, then looked at Ye Xiao: "I will verify your identity later. Is the convoy from Yang City that you mentioned the one led by Major General Xing?"
"No, we are divided into two groups, and the group led by Major General Xing is still further behind."
The other party's expression changed slightly: "How many people are there in this convoy?"
"One hundred and fifty-three thousand."
The other party's face fell completely. "Sorry, everyone entering the base must go through a strict inspection. The conditions today do not allow it. You can find a place to settle down first and come back after the rain stops."
As he was about to leave, Ye Xiao's eyes turned cold and he stretched out his hand to stop him: "It's raining so hard, where are you going to let so many people go?"
The other party said: "This is your business. If you are allowed in without being checked, who knows if there are any infected people in your convoy? I must be responsible for the millions of people in the base!"
"Report! A large number of zombies are approaching from the direction of the industrial city!" Someone suddenly shouted, "The commander ordered the gates to be closed immediately!"
The middle-aged man was about to step into the door: "Close—"
Ye Xiao grabbed him. The middle-aged man's face changed: "What are you going to do?"
Ye Xiao said: "Who is your leader? Let me tell him."
When Xing Guoliang left, it was said that several groups of forces were competing for the final position of the boss, and now it seems that a result has been reached.
The middle-aged man was angry: "Who do you think you are?" He yelled: "Close the door!"
Ye Xiao grabbed his arm and twisted it, then pressed him against the 30-centimeter-wide thickness of the door. His face was in tight contact with the cold metal, and he was squeezed so hard that it hurt.
Swish, swish, swish, suddenly several guns were pointed at Ye Xiao's head.
The door slid open with a hissing sound, and the two men were standing in the middle of the two doors. They would definitely be crushed before the door closed completely. The middle-aged man panicked: "Let me go, shoot, and kill him!"
Those holding guns looked at each other uncertainly, but Ye Xiao didn't need them to hesitate. He waved his hand and a hurricane threw them to the ground. Ye Xiao grabbed the middle-aged man and said coldly, "Let me talk to your leader."
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "I understand. Stop the door. You, ask your superior to let you talk."
The person he called was the soldier who had just received the notice from above to close the gate. He had ready-made communication equipment in his hands and immediately did as he was told.
Ye Xiao took the opportunity to look inside the base.
There is a large open space inside the gate, but it can't accommodate such a large convoy. However, there is a wide road on the left, which should lead to the parking lot. As far as the eye can see, there are vehicles and quite a large open space.
The soldier quickly explained the situation, and then the request for dialogue was approved. Ye Xiao, who was still holding the middle-aged man with one hand, took over with the other hand and repeated his self-introduction: "Time is limited, I won't say much. Before the military channel was paralyzed, I reported to Major General Min that we would arrive at the Ning City base. He should have said hello. Now there are 153,000 people in the convoy, as well as important people that Major General Min named to protect. We must enter the base."
After hearing what was said over there, Ye Xiao put the phone to the middle-aged man's ear. The middle-aged man nodded twice and then commanded: "Open the door, open the door."
The huge and heavy door slid to the sides again, and the crackling sound of the electric current was almost inaudible amid the heavy rain.
Ye Xiao let go of the middle-aged man, who glared at him fiercely and reluctantly ordered: "Everyone, cover the convoy and come in."
Ye Xiao also used his walkie-talkie to explain the situation. In just two minutes, the long dragon-like convoy was vaguely visible in the rain. Beams of car lights struggled to penetrate the rain curtain, illuminating the sky that was dark due to the heavy rain.
Ye Xiao stood outside the gate in the heavy rain and directed the cars to drive into the gate one by one. He also directed through the intercom: "Turn left to the parking lot after entering the gate. Park as compactly as possible to make more space for the vehicles behind."
Three people from the Fifth Battalion were nervously watching the picture on the screen. The blue front of the convoy had entered the gate of the base, but there was still a long line behind it, and the yellow arrows representing zombies were becoming more and more numerous and getting closer.
"Hurry up, faster!"
Lin Tantan was sweating as he looked at the arrows. If the convoy hadn't entered yet, the zombies would arrive first...
Bai Cheng from the Fourth Battalion in front was also looking at the same scene. He calculated that there might not be enough time. The base did not show any active intention to welcome them. The so-called cover was just firing a few shots down from the city wall. He still had to rely on himself.
He picked up the intercom and calmly commanded: "All artillery vehicles, move out."
There are artillery vehicles in the convoy. The strongest one is naturally the armored vehicle obtained from Xing Guoliang. In addition, more than 20 vehicles were modified under the leadership of Xu Qin. Some of them were equipped with machine guns, grenade launchers, or homemade cannons. Each brigade is equipped with two to three vehicles.
They also encountered groups of zombies on the way. The response at that time was to urgently gather the convoy, with trucks forming a line of defense on the outside and artillery vehicles forming a second line of defense, throwing ammunition at the zombies. The attack power was very considerable.
But at that time, everyone had no way out and could only obey the command and unite to fight the enemy. Now they are safe after entering the base. The people driving the artillery vehicles are also ordinary people. They are willing to leave the convoy at this time and stay until the end...
Sure enough, after Bai Cheng issued this order, only half of the artillery vehicles obeyed.
Bai Cheng sighed and thought, forget it, this cannot be forced. Everyone’s life is their own life and no one can force anyone to sacrifice for anyone else.
The armored vehicle he was riding in was naturally out of the line.
This is actually an armored personnel carrier with a large interior space that can carry ten people. It was originally used by Xu Qin, but later Xu Qin gave it to Bai Cheng, who used it as a mobile command center.
Of course, as a transport vehicle, it is different from those destroyer-type armored vehicles. It has no turret and only a machine gun installed on the upper left side.
Under the command of Bai Cheng, more than a dozen artillery vehicles of various shapes were lined up on the left wing of the convoy, facing the direction of the industrial city. When the first wave of zombies emerged from the distant building and approached at a very fast speed, the homemade ammunition was thrown out first.
A black shadow drew an arc through the rain curtain and fell into the pile of zombies. It instantly exploded into countless pieces, cutting down a piece of zombies, or bursting a piece of mud and soil, blowing the zombies away.
Only then did the Fifth Battalion begin to enter the base.
Inside the carriage, Lin Tantan and Mei Bosheng looked at each other and asked, "Shall we go?"
"Walk."
As they were talking, they opened the back of the car and the rain suddenly rushed in, startling the pickup truck following behind.
Jiang Xiaotian looked at them and said, "Be careful."
Mei Baisheng waved at him, then jumped out of the car with Lin Tantan and ran out of the convoy very quickly and nimbly.
Jiang Xiaotian sighed, feeling a little envious. He wished he also had superpowers. Looking back, he saw that the rain was almost damaging his precious equipment, so he hurriedly closed the door.
Mei Bosheng brought Lin Tantan to the armored vehicle quickly, climbed up first, and then pulled Lin Tantan up. On the armored vehicle, a guy who was holding a machine gun and waiting for the zombies to enter the shooting range was startled.
Bai Cheng, who came out of the command tower to the right of the machine gun, was also startled: "What are you doing here?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you have a gun? Give me a cooler one."
Lin Tantan said very self-awarely: "I don't want a gun anymore. I can't shoot accurately."
Bai Cheng glanced at them and went downstairs to get a gun for Mei Bosheng. It was a machine gun that looked very heavy, with bullets that could wrap around the shoulders several times. It was originally equipped with armored vehicles.
At this time, the first wave of zombies had been defeated by a wave of ammunition, but they could not withstand the continuous emergence of zombies behind them.
Lin Tantan was wearing a baseball cap, trying hard to keep the rain from flowing into his eyes. He squinted and looked at the zombies that were gradually revealing themselves in the rain.
Some have drooping necks and heads that are about to fall off, some are missing arms and legs, some have pale and mushy faces, and some have broken stomachs with intestines hanging out.
It was approaching with a loud bang.
Lin Tantan tried to mobilize the rain from the sky and the ground, but it didn't work. Her water ability was not strong enough. She could mobilize the rain, but it would not have much killing power. It would definitely not work to use fire ability on a rainy day.
There is also an earth system.
Well, let’s just stick to the gold system for now.
She waved her five fingers, and countless golden lights cut through the rain curtain and pierced into the heads of the zombies. A wave of zombies fell down one after another, and the harvesting effect was amazing.
Mei Baisheng stood upright on the car with a machine gun in his hand, and started firing "da da da da da". He looked so awesome that he even roared a few times to build up momentum for himself.
As one wave of zombies went down, another wave appeared. It was endless, and they were not coming from just one direction. Some came for the convoy, and more came for the base. In the eyes of the zombies, a base with millions of people was a piece of delicious fat meat.
Gradually, ice-type superpowers appeared, lightning-type superpowers appeared, earth-type superpowers appeared, wind-type superpowers appeared...
One after another, the superpowers came out of the convoy. Some of them were short of energy and had no mana left after a few rounds of fighting, so they retreated first, while others lasted a little longer. Several small guards came out and used their guns to suppress the zombies with firepower.
"Meimei!" Lin Tantan suddenly shouted.
The armored vehicle was the outermost of a row of artillery vehicles and the farthest from the base, so it was under the greatest pressure. At this time, in addition to a group of zombies rushing out from the direction of the industrial city, there was also a wave coming from the side. The zombies could not be dealt with in time and were sneaked into the safe range by the wave of zombies from the side.
Mei Bosheng took a look, put down the machine gun in his hand, sat cross-legged in the car facing the zombies, took a deep breath, shouted loudly, and the extreme darkness suddenly spread out from his palm. With him as the starting point, an irregular dark area with a range of thirty meters appeared in front of him.
