Chapter 83: Zombie Attack (Part 2)
Hearing Lu Chen's shout, Su Qing, Qin Tianjiang and others quickly picked up the telescope to look over, only to see that the zombie group outside the city gradually split into three groups. Two of the zombie groups were quickly heading towards the east and west walls, and the remaining zombie force still stayed quietly in place, as if waiting for the fire in front of the main gate to go out before attacking.
Su Qing's face turned even paler. She hurriedly turned around to look at Lu Chen and Qin Yu. "I don't know if these zombies are heading for the north gate or the two side walls. Commander Qin and I are guarding the main gate, and Dong Wen is guarding the north gate and can't move. Can you help me defend the two side walls?"
Lu Chen and Qin Yu knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded without hesitation.
"Ji Cheng'an!" Liang Zheng shouted from the side.
Ji Chengan, who was called, put down his machine gun and stood up, "Here!"
"Go and help them dispatch weapons, equipment, and manpower."
"Yes, Chief!"
"Wang Qiang, follow Ji Cheng'an and assist Lu Chen and the others." Su Qing glanced around and waved to call a junior supervisor over.
"Yes, Chief."
Su Qing took out a box of injections from his backpack and handed it to Lu Chen. "Divide these dozens of injections among you. Don't confront them head-on. If you feel any danger, tell me at any time and I will activate the base's protective shield." Then he looked at Qin Yu and said, "Captain Qin, be careful."
Lu Chen took the box and looked at her gently, "You too, don't try to be so arrogant." Then he said respectfully to Liang Zheng, "Uncle Liang, I'll leave our leader in your care."
"Don't worry, we have so many grown men here, how can we let a little girl charge into battle? You guys should be careful." Liang Zheng replied.
Qin Yu stood aside, nodded to Su Qing, and then walked towards Qin Tianjiang. It was unknown what he said to Qin Tianjiang. Su Qing saw Commander Qin look at her with a little surprise, then raised his hand, patted Qin Yu's shoulder, and nodded.
After giving the instructions, Qin Yu took Qingshan and Chen Kuo, and Lu Chen took Li Yi, and they all left in a hurry.
Li Yi ran forward a few steps and then ran back, saluted Li Song, "Commander Li, for the sake of our friendship over the years, please take care of my eldest sister."
Li Song said impatiently: "You little bastard, do you need me to tell you? Get out of here right now."
"Sister, be careful." Li Yi waved to Su Qing and turned to run away.
After everyone left, several leaders went to Commander Qin to discuss the next response plan. Su Qing listened attentively to them and continued to observe with a telescope in his hand.
Fang Qing walked to Su Qing's side and leaned out. A scorching air wave with a burnt smell of smoke hit her face, making her turn back immediately.
"The fire down there probably won't last much longer. Do you want to pour some more gasoline on it?"
Su Qing shook his head. "It would be a waste to pour it down now. We have limited fuel. Once the gas runs out, the zombies will still attack. It's better to wait and see when they attack."
Fang Qing sighed, "That's right. Thanks to the weapons, equipment, and fuel Commander Liang brought. If we relied solely on our base's resources, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to hold out."
"Yes, our base is still too weak. We have lived in peace for so long that it is difficult to see our own shortcomings. Now they are all exposed at once." Su Qing said somewhat frustrated. She was originally a little proud of the prosperity of the Dawn Base, which was self-sufficient and backed by the system. However, the disadvantages were immediately revealed after being besieged by zombies.
It turns out that relying on the system for everything is not enough, being strong yourself is the bottom line!
Fang Qing patted Su Qing's shoulder gently and whispered comfortingly: "Don't be sad, you have done very well."
At this time, a voice came from the headphones.
"Report to the commander, the east city wall is in place." Qin Yu's voice rang out.
After a few seconds, Lu Chen's voice was heard, "Report to the commander, the west wall is in place."
Then Ji Cheng'an reported into the headset, "Commander, all personnel on both sides of the city wall are in place, and weapons and equipment are being transported."
"Got it. Please be alert and report the situation at any time." Qin Tianjiang replied in a deep voice.
Fang Qing listened to the voice in the headset, and the words she had just heard came back to her mind. She raised her arm and touched Su Qing, saying, "Just now, I was standing next to Commander Qin and heard Captain Qin ask Commander Qin to take care of your safety. These people are really thoughtful."
Su Qing was stunned when he heard her say that.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw the group of zombies in the direction of the main gate through the telescope start to move again. The zombies rushed over with roars, and the zombies moving to the sides were already approaching.
Su Qing quickly clung to the city wall and looked outside. The raging fire was still burning below. "Are they planning to attack us from all sides?"
Qin Tianjiang also saw the zombies' movements at this time, and his eyes widened in anger. "Everyone, be on alert! Prepare to respond to the attack!"
"yes!"
The zombie horde soon came within the range, and with Commander Qin's command, the sound of gunfire instantly covered the surroundings.
Shells were fired into the launch tubes one after another, and then the zombies outside the city were blown away one after another. Even under such intensive bombardment, the zombies' progress could not be stopped. Soon these zombies began to climb the city walls again, and the flames outside the main gate were completely suppressed by the zombies that continued to rush forward.
"Quick, pour gasoline!"
However, this time, before the gasoline was poured, several nimble zombies had already climbed and jumped onto the city wall.
"It's a mutant zombie! Everyone, pay attention!"
"Quick! Protect the commander and the leader!"
"Hurry up and hold on! Don't let the zombies attack again!"
Several mutated zombies howled to the sky, then waved their sharp claws to grab the people on the city wall, and the guards immediately fell into chaos.
Su Qing watched as several soldiers were scratched by mutant zombies and then thrown off the city wall. She heard roars and heart-wrenching screams outside. Her eyes turned red and she picked up the automatic aiming rifle and quickly shot at the mutant zombies.
However, this gun had little effect on the mutated zombies. They were agile and could always dodge Su Qing's bullets. Even if he hit them, it would not hurt their vital parts and could not make them lose their ability to move.
The soldiers and guards fired bullets everywhere, and the mutant zombies jumped and dodged. From time to time, some of their own people were hit by stray bullets. Seeing more and more people falling on the city wall, Commander Qin quickly gave the order, "Stop shooting, use daggers."
Several mutated zombies seemed to know who was in command and suddenly dispersed. Some of them went towards Commander Qin and his men, and one went towards Su Qing.
"Be careful!" Fang Qing flashed in front of Su Qing and started fighting with the mutant zombie that rushed over. She waved the dagger fiercely and hit the zombie's vital points, but the zombie dodged calmly. Fang Qing gasped for breath and kept waving the dagger fiercely in her hand. Seeing that her physical strength could no longer support her, she finally left a few scars on the zombie, and black liquid splashed out. The mutant zombie roared, grabbed Fang Qing's hand holding the dagger and was about to tear her arm off.
Seeing this, Fang Qing loosened her grip, and with her other hand, she quickly took the dagger and slashed the zombie's palm. Then she threw her whole body forward and pinned the mutant zombie to the ground. With her other hand, she reached for her waist and quickly took out the gun, shooting the mutant zombie in the head.
"Bang!" Flowers bloomed on the mutant zombie's head, and blood sprayed all over Fang Qing.
After dealing with the mutant zombies, she quickly turned around to look at Su Qing, then her eyes widened and she shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!"
Su Qing, who had wanted to help, saw Fang Qing quickly deal with the mutant zombie. She breathed a sigh of relief, but then she felt a chill all over her body. At this time, Fang Qing shouted at her to get out of the way. She turned around and saw a mutant zombie with a pitch-black mouth rushing towards her.
However, it was too late...
Fang Qing watched helplessly as the mutant zombie approached Su Qing and was about to bite him...
roar!
Su Qing smelled a strong fishy stench. The zombie's hideous face was approaching, but it was too close for her to use her gun. She placed her automatic rifle across the zombie's neck with one hand to block its bite. The zombie's momentum forced her back several steps.
At this moment, a figure quickly flashed out from Su Qing's side, and with a "thump" he knocked the mutant zombie to the ground. Then he became entangled with the mutant zombie. Only then did she see clearly that it was Fuguier who came!
Su Qing has been leaving Fuguier with Qin Yu recently. Today, the situation was urgent and no one cared about him. He probably sneaked out and ran here, just in time to save her at this critical moment.
"Fuguier, get out of the way!" Su Qing raised his gun and aimed at the zombies, then shouted at Fuguier.
When Fuguier heard Su Qing's voice, he used his sharp claws to firmly hold down the mutant zombie's limbs, then tilted his head to one side to expose the mutant zombie's head.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out and the zombies on the ground stopped moving.
Su Fugui let out a howl, jumped off the corpse, shook off the liquid splashed on his body, and with a look of disgust on his face, he kicked the zombie corpse far away.
After resolving the issue here, Su Qing and Fang Qing turned around and ran towards Commander Qin without saying anything more. There were three mutated zombies there, two of whom had been eliminated, and the other one was still struggling with the soldiers.
More than a dozen people had fallen beside Commander Qin, and the battle was quite brutal. With the addition of Fang Qing, Su Qing and Fuguier, the last mutant zombie was quickly dealt with.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! More zombies are coming!"
"The North Gate can't hold on! Requesting support!"
"Eastern Wall needs support!"
"The west wall needs support!"
Listening to the words in the headset, Su Qing quickly called out to the system, "System! Open the protective shield quickly!"
"Base protection shield activated!"
Following the system's words, lasers flashed across the base's walls, instantly killing any zombies that climbed onto them! Then, a translucent, shiny protective shield enveloped the entire base.
A mechanical voice rang out from above the base, "Start the strangulation sequence!"
A dense laser net appeared on the surrounding city walls. The zombies climbing on the walls were cut into pieces where they touched the laser net, and piles of body parts fell down.
"Prepare to advance!"
The laser net began to move outward with the sound of machinery, and then stopped half a meter away from the base wall. Wherever the laser net went, the zombies were cut into even-sized pieces in seconds, and no matter how the zombies behind tried to pounce, they could not shake it at all.
The scene before them shocked everyone. All they could see were body parts scattered on the ground, and the ground was stained with black, smelly liquid.
"They...seem to have stopped again."
Someone on the city wall spoke, breaking the silence.
At this time, the system voice came in Su Qing's mind.
"The laser net's energy can last for another five minutes!"
