In the end, Zhang Hao agreed to use half of the weapons in the Zhusha City armory to fight against the zombie attack, but still instructed: "Conserve firearms and ammunition as much as possible."
However, when the main force of the Zhusha City's garrison arrived at the city wall, they were all dumbfounded by what they saw.
Cheng Zhen and his team directly took over the city defense area previously managed by Deputy City Lord Luo.
That's not the point. The point is that whether they are superhumans or ordinary young adults, they all have sophisticated weapons and are surrounded by guns and ammunition. It's clear that they are well-prepared and have abundant supplies!
In contrast, each of them had only one gun and a limited number of bullets. Compared to them, they looked more like refugees who had fled from the wild.
"Quick! There are more and more zombies!"
Yu Fen suddenly shouted from the city wall, using his light-strike ability to kill a wave of zombies below.
However, the zombies behind them quickly pushed forward, giving them no chance to catch their breath. Even with the thick walls of Vermilion City, they were very worried that they would not be able to withstand the onslaught.
"Holy crap! Where did these guys suddenly come from?" Yu Fen cursed as he killed.
Cheng Zhen used his light sword and light saber in turn to attack. Upon hearing this, he said, "They must be people who died in the last major disaster in the south. The number of zombies on this earth will be as many as the number of people who suddenly died from oxygen deprivation and subsequent natural disasters."
He now has no doubt that as long as a person is dead and their body is still there, they will all turn into zombies.
Upon hearing this, Yu Fen and the others' expressions turned extremely solemn, which meant that they would face a constant stream of zombie attacks in the future.
There are humans, animals, and birds and beasts.
In addition to these, the threat to humans also includes the diverse variations in plant species.
It would be incredibly difficult for humans to survive in an oxygen-deprived apocalypse.
They were responsible for guarding this section of the city wall and preventing zombies from breaking in.
Zhu Shacheng's city guards were also busy guarding their own camp and did not have the time or energy to deal with them.
But the hostility remained, because in their view, anyone who came into the wild was infected with poison gas and would turn into a mutated zombie!
While mutated zombies can be controlled, they carry their own virus and can infect normal people!
The difference between Hu Chengjun's two sides quickly became apparent. Although Cheng Zhen and his group were outnumbered, they had plenty of weapons, and their ability users were highly experienced.
So zombies can't get away with anything against them.
On the contrary, the city's own garrison, due to insufficient weapons and lack of combat experience, was caught off guard and nearly allowed zombies to pile up on top of the city walls several times.
It was Cheng Zhen and his group who discovered the situation in time and helped to get out of the predicament, preventing the zombies from scaling the city wall.
Some soldiers were rather cowardly, and seeing that the situation was getting worse, they secretly ran away together.
Cheng Zhen sneered inwardly; these kinds of parasites in a team are truly universal.
He didn't care what Zhu Shacheng thought, and directly used a light attack to blow their brains open, killing them like zombies.
Some people tried to run away, but were so frightened by the scene that they wet themselves, and the younger ones started crying.
"Don't kill me! I don't want to die! I'm scared, I want to go home!"
Yu Fen, who was standing nearby, couldn't bear to watch any longer. He grabbed one of them and questioned, "Look at you cowards! Weren't you the ones who killed the mutated plants and zombies outside Zhusha City before?"
"No, we didn't kill them! I really didn't kill them."
The young boy wept bitterly and confessed everything: "The zombies and mutated plants in the past were all killed by the villagers who came to seek refuge nearby. We didn't even need to lift a finger!"
So that's how it is.
Cheng Zhen immediately figured out the truth: after the oxygen-deficient apocalypse, the survivors of the towns under Zhu Sha City must have all come to Zhu Sha City for help and protection. Their situation was the same as that of Cheng Zhen and Long Wanzhi before.
However, they were turned away by the city of Vermilion, who then lured them with the promise of expanding the city walls to help them exterminate mutated plants and zombies.
In reality, while they were killing off the mutated plants and zombies in the wild, they also paid the price with their own lives.
Last time, Zhou Qingshen and his group were ordered to go to Zhusha City to retrieve Ω and cinnabar, but they were actually used as bait to lure away the remaining zombies near Zhusha City.
They really have a brilliant plan. They can eliminate the security risks outside the city without losing a single soldier.
Cheng Zhen and his colleagues had to admire them.
He cursed under his breath, thinking that escaping into the city of Zhusha would at least allow him to avoid too much danger and safely get through the current predicament. However, he did not expect that the seemingly impregnable Zhusha City was just a rotten shell on the outside. The city wall guards were as weak as paper. It would be better to rely on them than to rely on them.
After continuous fighting without eating, everyone's strength was waning. Jiang Wan and Huang Ying led the women and children from Xiangcheng and Jiulongcheng to help cook porridge and steam cornbread so that they could take a break and replenish their energy.
The number of zombies outside is growing larger and larger, which will undoubtedly lead to a fierce battle.
Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment, then took out a drop of Tree Hole Night from her Tree Hole space and quietly mixed it into the mixed grain porridge. After it was completely diluted, she distributed it to everyone.
It was at this moment that she remembered that she needed to relieve all the city's residents of the toxic smoke and gas that they had previously been exposed to.
The twins helped set out the porridge bowls; although they were small, they were very perceptive.
Jiang Xiaoxin quickly sensed that something was wrong with the people around her. The people of Zhusha City were very hostile towards them. They sent a small team of superhumans to surround them and even brought guns to try to shoot them.
He found it very strange: "Shouldn't we all be united against the zombies right now? Why are they so eager to kill us? And why are they wasting so much manpower?"
"Because in their eyes, we'll soon turn into zombies too," Jiang Xiaoshu explained.
Jiang Xiaoxin scoffed, "How could anyone come up with such a vicious idea, wanting to turn us into zombies! Heh, too bad, we certainly won't let them have their way, because we have a magic pill."
After saying that, she ran to Jiang Wan and said in a spoiled tone, "Mom, I'm so hungry, I don't want to drink porridge, is that okay?"
At times like this, Jiang Wan couldn't possibly cook something special for her, so she could only take out some soft bread from the tree hole space for her.
She hadn't paid much attention to the things she took from the tree hole space several times before, but this time, her attention was slightly focused, and she suddenly noticed that two more items had appeared on the shelf at the edge of the tree hole space.
Upon entering, I discovered two more types of seeds: one called "Cherry Bomb" and the other "Potato Mine."
