Just as Ye Lei flew back to the underground city, preparing to report the negotiation results to Zhang Shaohua...
Suddenly, a commotion arose from inside the underground city gate.
"Make way, don't block the way."
"Come over here and lend a hand! What are you looking at?"
"My God, are they going to bombard the ant zombies with cannons?"
"That's possible. Didn't you see how long the cannon barrel was?"
…………
Zhang Shaohua, Deputy Captain Liu, and Ye Lei were also attracted by the sounds. When they turned around, they found that a group of survivors were pushing a cannon out under the command of a middle-aged man in a white coat. Ye Lei felt that this man looked familiar.
"Chief Engineer Li, why did you bring out the cannon? We've already run out of shells!"
Zhang Shaohua shouted to them.
Chief Engineer Li? Ye Lei suddenly remembered, wasn't that Chief Engineer Li from the 6015 Research Institute?
He and Tang Xiaoting had bumped into each other at the entrance of the research institute before, but wasn't he supposed to be developing a weapon to kill zombies on a large scale? How come he's here?
"Major Zhang, I heard they're ant zombies swarming all over the mountains. Wouldn't it be perfect if I put all my hard work developing these shells to good use?"
Chief Engineer Li said smugly.
"Are you talking about those zombie shells used to fight zombies?"
Zhang Shaohua didn't know much about this highly confidential project.
"That's right, aren't zombie shells designed to deal with large-scale zombie attacks? If we don't use them now, when will we?"
Chief Engineer Li felt that the time had finally come when he could put his skills to good use.
"But I heard that all the zombie shells contain poisonous gas, right?"
Could it be a biological weapon? Ye Lei was also taken aback when he heard this.
"You're right, there is indeed toxic gas, but that only applies to zombies."
That's amazing! From now on, what's there to be afraid of when it comes to zombies?
Are you sure those gases are harmless to humans?
Zhang Shaohua certainly didn't want to perish along with the zombie ants just to kill them.
"This is the data we got from the lab."
It seems that even Chief Engineer Li wasn't entirely confident.
"So that means no live experiments were conducted, right?"
Zhang Shaohua had no intention of letting him go.
"How can we conduct the experiment? The mice have all turned into zombies, and we can't find a single normal animal. Are we going to use humans? We're not a biological warfare unit."
Chief Engineer Li shook his head, indicating that he was also helpless.
"In that case, let's not use it for now. We can use it only if we can't hold them off anymore, okay?"
Zhang Shaohua also had to think about the brothers fighting on the front lines.
"Okay, hopefully we'll still have time."
Faced with the orders of the highest-ranking officer in the underground city, Chief Engineer Li had no choice but to obey.
"Okay, let's leave it here and secure it."
Chief Engineer Li continued to direct the survivors, and soon a box of shells that looked similar to ordinary artillery shells was placed next to the cannon. Those should be the zombie shells that Chief Engineer Li had mentioned.
"Ye Lei, was that what you were going to say just now?"
Zhang Shaohua turned away and ignored them. Without his order, no one dared to fire the cannon.
"Oh, Major Zhang, I just went over and negotiated with the Queen Ant Corpse."
"Oh! How did it go?"
This is the issue that Zhang Shaohua cares about most.
"It's not good. They come here for food. I asked them how much food they wanted, and they told me that no matter how much food I gave them, they would take over this place."
Ye Lei told the truth.
"It seems they won't give up until they take this place!"
"Yes, I've tried my best."
"Thank you"
"You're welcome"
"Deputy Captain Liu, order everyone to take a break and prepare for the next battle."
"yes"
At this time, time was the most precious thing. After such a long period of valiant fighting, the soldiers were exhausted.
Ye Lei quietly retreated, taking a gas mask from his spatial storage and having everyone put it on. Judging from the current situation, perhaps only zombie artillery shells could defeat the ant army.
"Brother Lei, do you really think they'll use zombie-themed projectiles?"
Beanna asked, holding up her gas mask.
"I've already checked. Although it's been so long, the number of ant zombies is still enormous, and conventional weapons are completely ineffective."
Ye Lei also felt that these ant zombies couldn't be killed by killing alone, so he had to use special methods.
"What can we do? The road is blocked now, and we can't escape."
Ma Jing looked extremely frightened.
"Running won't help. Once the ant zombie army takes over this place, our shelter will be their next target. So, it's best to settle things here."
Through his conversation with the ant queen, Ye Lei understood that their goal was to continue this endless sweeping.
"Sigh, troubles just keep piling up. Our dragon has only just been born and we've already run into this kind of thing."
Since Xia Yuhe got Dalong, she has had another worry in her heart.
"Don't worry, no matter what, I will find a way to kill the Queen Ant Corpse. Only by killing her will these ant zombies be routed."
"To catch the thief, first catch the king" has always been Ye Lei's style of doing things.
"But if it doesn't come over, you won't even have a chance to fight it."
"Otherwise, this battle might have ended long ago," Beanna said worriedly.
"There will always be a way, don't worry. You should also prepare for battle. I estimate that the next wave of ant zombie attacks will be even more intense."
"Okay, I understand."
After taking a deep breath, Ye Lei asked, "Is everyone ready?" Everyone nodded, indicating that they were ready for battle.
Subsequently, Ye Lei retrieved a large number of submachine guns, ample ammunition, grenades, smoke grenades, and other weapons and equipment from his spatial storage.
At the same time, Ye Lei also took out a special weapon—a laser gun developed by Tang Xiaoting. This laser gun looked very cool, flashing with blue light. Ye Lei believed that it would be very effective in dealing with those ant zombies.
Just as everyone was ready, swarms of ant zombies began to appear on the small hill made of piled-up rubble.
They were numerous and densely packed together, inspiring fear in those who saw them; clearly, they were about to launch an attack.
Facing the impending battle, Ye Lei's eyes hardened with determination. He gripped the laser gun tightly, silently praying for a swift and successful outcome.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Zhang Shaohua also saw the ant-like zombies. He gave an order, which immediately alerted the soldiers who were resting.
"Click, click, click..."
All the heavy weapons were reloaded and aimed at the ant-zombie army; a massacre was about to begin.
