"We are outnumbered, we need to call for backup."
Zhou Yaning didn't deny this idea, but she was short on people. Only two soldiers in the squad could move, and the car needed someone to watch over it. She decided to call for more support. Once the support arrived, she could figure out how to lure the black zombies away.
She had made her decision, and Lu Chengchuan said nothing more.
After a while, Zhou Yaning took out his cell phone to ask for support, and the person on the other end of the phone also agreed to support. After the conversation, they waited for people to come in the car.
It will take an hour or two for support to arrive, which is a good time to discuss the plan.
"We will attract zombies, and then you will destroy the energy source. Give me an approximate time." She knew that Lu Chengchuan wanted the energy source, so she went along with it to help him.
The main thing is that even if we ask them to come, they may not be able to do it well. If they fail, the black zombies will come back and we will be doomed.
"Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes at most!"
The last time he absorbed the energy source, it only took about seven minutes, but the exact time was not under his control, so he could only give a more conservative time.
"Okay, we'll give you fifteen minutes!"
Zhou Yaning had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.
The army had previously tried to drive various tanks into the black fog, hoping to use the weapons on the tanks to destroy the monsters, but the vehicles malfunctioned as soon as they entered, and various instruments could not be used.
They smashed the fire button, but the artillery mounted on the vehicle did not respond at all.
If they want to deal with the energy source, they can only rely on soldiers to use explosives to blow it up. Just getting close to the energy source will result in countless deaths. It is easier for them to accept just delaying the monster for a dozen minutes.
The decision has been made, and all that remains is to wait for support.
At around 3:00 p.m., two troop carriers came speeding in from outside, and the black car parked on the road honked its horn three long and one short.
"Here we are, honk the horn."
Zhou Yaning said something and asked his subordinates to use the loudspeaker to respond to the soldiers.
After receiving a response, the troop carrier approached and stopped. Zhou Yaning got out and called Li Wang over, and the two of them walked up. An officer also got out of the troop carrier. When the two sides met, the officer raised his hand and saluted.
"Captain Zhao, did Captain Huang tell you the specific situation before you came?" Zhou Yaning put down his arms and asked him if he understood the mission of this trip.
"The leader asked me to cooperate with you. Just assign us tasks and we will carry them out conscientiously!"
Zhao Zhian didn't know, but as a soldier, obeying orders was his nature.
Hearing his resolute tone, Zhou Yaning said nothing and told him the plan. Zhao Zhian wasn't afraid, knowing they were tasked with containing a monster so powerful that even armor-piercing bullets couldn't hurt it.
Two troop transports brought thirty-five soldiers, and Zhou Yaning let them rest for twenty minutes before taking any further action.
"Wait, you hide in another alley. We'll lure the monster away, and then you decide to act. The sooner the better. I'm afraid if we delay this for too long, more people will die."
Zhou Yaning didn't want too many people to die. Some sacrifices were unavoidable, but it was better not to sacrifice them if possible.
"I will destroy the energy source as soon as possible, and the black fog will definitely disappear." Lu Chengchuan nodded in agreement.
Zhou Yaning didn't say anything. She turned her head to look at the strange black fog in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a twenty-minute break, Zhou Yaning raised his hand and said calmly, "Let's go!"
After the order was given, more than 40 people stood up and entered the black fog. Once inside, everyone immediately entered a state of combat readiness. Zheng Xin went forward in stealth and did not come back until more than 20 minutes later.
"Captain, there are no monsters outside."
The monster ran back to the middle and center of the village. There were no monsters blocking them outside, so everyone moved forward carefully and came to the place where they had entered the alley before.
"You guys wait here. The monsters will rush out soon. We have to hold on for fifteen minutes."
There is a fork in the road to the back. There is a pond on one side and a house on the other side. However, these terrains are useless. The black zombies can ignore the bullets and rush up. Their swimming entanglement prevents them from standing still and defending.
This time, only the people from the Investigation Bureau went to attract the zombies, and the rest stayed here and waited.
Lu Chengchuan followed them into the alley and looked at the exit. Zhou Yaning and the others were hiding in the alley, waiting. According to the plan, they would appear in five minutes to attract the zombies, and then Lu Chengchuan would take advantage of the opportunity to enter.
Two minutes later, Lu Chengchuan came to another alley.
After confirming that this place led directly to the square, Lu Chengchuan hid inside and waited patiently.
He didn't have to wait long before gunshots and explosions were heard, followed by the roars of zombies. Lu Chengchuan knew that Zhou Yaning and the others were taking action.
Instead of going out immediately, Lu Chengchuan waited for a while until fierce gunfire rang out, then he showed up.
He ran out of the alley quickly. The black zombies had been led away. In the square more than ten meters away, there were only floating balls of light and piles of corpses.
Without hesitation, Lu Chengchuan ran to the ball of light in a few steps.
【Sensing pure energy, absorbing it.】
As he approached the ball of light, the system's voice sounded, and an invisible force pulled the energy of the ball of light into his body. While absorbing the ball of light, Lu Chengchuan observed his surroundings to prevent the monster from attacking him.
On the other side, compared to the silence in the square, Zhou Yaning's side was much crazier.
The black zombie killed three soldiers as soon as it arrived. The armor-piercing bullets hit him like mud balls, and had no effect except for a few sparks.
Zhao Zhian is also a psychic, and he brought a few psychics with him, but no one could stop the black zombies, not even those with iron-blue skin.
"Chain! Tie it up with chains!"
If the zombies were allowed to kill people at will, these forty or so people would not be able to hold out for long, let alone fifteen minutes, they would find it difficult to last even a minute and a half.
Chen Long and several others swung the chains, intending to use them to restrict the zombies' movements.
The others were trying to stop the remaining eleven zombies, but they were also invulnerable to weapons. Armor-piercing bullets could only penetrate their skin, embed into their flesh, and push them back with the impact force, but could not actually kill them.
After repelling the zombies, the soldiers threw explosives at them, using the powerful force of the explosives to kill them.
Just one minute into the battle, all the weak monsters were killed, leaving only twelve zombies without a trace of fatigue. Everyone still had to act with caution.
The black zombie tore open another soldier's body, and just as it was enjoying the hot blood, three iron chains were tied to it, followed by two more chains.
After tying up the zombie, the five people worked together. The black zombie waved his hand and hit the iron chain, making it clang.
The zombie then began to struggle and ran forward. The five people couldn't hold it back. The soldiers nearby quickly came up to help, and the remaining soldiers continued to deal with the remaining monsters.
With the help of bullets and explosives, the soldiers killed six zombies and sacrificed fifteen of their own people.
There were about ten people injured, but the injured had to continue shooting. If they didn't fight hard, they would die.
After seven or eight minutes, the black zombie broke the chains on its body. Chen Long and others were shocked and did not dare to hesitate for a moment. They quickly took out their weapons and continued to attack.
