When the word "kill" came out of the city defense officer's mouth, Wang Xiao already understood the other party's, or the people above's, true meaning.
Nothing is more important than guarding the walls, not even the things being guarded.
Whether actively or passively, the moment those people chose to attack the city wall, their camp had already changed.
Wang Xiao looked around at his teammates and finally said:
"I'll stay alone."
"What?"
The other members of Fresnel's team looked at him, waiting for an explanation.
“It’s not surprising. If the captain had stayed, more people would have died both on the front line and here.
"And I alone am enough to guard the stairs leading up to the wall."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly felt that it made sense, and they had to make a decision quickly without delay.
Seeing that his teammates were still hesitant, Wang Xiao added a final push:
"For them, losing arms and legs is better than having a big hole burned through their chest, right?"
Fresnel suddenly thought of his most commonly used attack methods. When he thought about these abilities being used on humans of the same race as himself, a chill surged in his heart.
"Okay, I agree with Wang Xiao's proposal."
Seeing the captain express his opinion first, the others also raised their hands.
Time was urgent, so after confirming the arrangements, Wang Xiao stayed behind, while the others returned to the front line to continue waiting for the next wave of counterattack from the monsters.
Only Wang Xiao, the city defense officer, and a few soldiers who would provide fire support later were left at the stairs.
"Do you have any handy weapons here?"
“…”
"Bang!"
Amidst loud noises and smoke, the gate of the military camp at the foot of the city was completely pushed down, and the infected people with blood-red eyes began to pour in frantically.
They howled, crowded, pushed, and trampled like a spreading fungal blanket.
The soldier on guard quickly gave a signal, replaced the last magazine, and began to evacuate towards the stairs.
The military camp is surrounded by infected people. Although the city wall is the front line, it is also the only direction of evacuation.
Climbing the stairs leading to the city wall, the two soldiers suddenly felt something in front of them blocking the light.
The two looked up and saw a tall man with tight skin and muscles walking down with the aura of a single man.
After seeing the combat uniform on the other person, the two realized that this was a super-powered person with powerful abilities.
Their originally panicked hearts suddenly calmed down, and they even wanted to take a closer look.
The two retreating guards leaned against the stairs to make way for Wang Xiao. The tall man passed by them, revealing a long black stick in his hand.
"Oh my god, this is obviously a weapon developed by the research institute specifically for this kind of strong man. Let's wait and see!"
A soldier said happily.
His partner glanced at the back of the figure a few more times and scratched his hair:
"Why do I feel that stick looks familiar?"
In a few seconds, the leading infected person had rushed to the bottom stairs, opened his bloody mouth, and rushed towards Wang Xiao like a beast releasing its deterrent power.
The next moment, one end of a long stick as thick as a wrist was inserted into the infected person's open mouth.
The force from the stick caused his entire body to fall backwards, directly hitting several infected people behind him.
The walls of Hope City are dozens of meters high. For safety reasons, there is a buffer platform every five meters or so on the commonly used troop transport stairs.
Wang Xiao was standing on a platform closest to the ground at this time.
He pushed away the most aggressive infected person with a stick, then turned his body sideways and kicked him twice, breaking the guardrail beside him.
Immediately afterwards, all the infected people who rushed up were pushed out through the gap beside Wang Xiao as if sweeping the floor.
A fall from a height of five meters is likely to be fatal for an average person. Wang Xiao is not quite sure about the physical strength of the infected person, but this is his last mercy.
This is just a five-meter-high platform, and there will be ten meters, fifteen meters later...
I hope that those infected people who broke their legs can stay down there quietly and wait until the antidote is developed or other solutions appear.
Seeing the super-powered man's simple solution, the soldiers who were originally mounting machine guns above also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there seemed to be thousands or even tens of thousands of infected people, they were completely unable to take advantage in such a narrow staircase.
As long as the superpower's body is strong enough...
This will be the stage where he leaves his legend!
And physical strength is what Wang Xiao relies on.
The two soldiers who retreated back to the wall were even more excited when they saw this scene.
One of them was about to show off his guess about the opponent's special weapon again, but he found that a corner of the temporary command post on the city wall had collapsed.
"Dude, what's going on over there?"
He grabbed a companion on the city wall and asked him about his doubts.
The captured soldier looked in the direction the other party pointed and said with a smile:
"That thug wanted weapons, and the city defense officer had no choice but to give him a temporary command post.
"I heard that thing is made of carbon fiber, so its strength and toughness are guaranteed. The city defense officer even told him to come up and get more if he doesn't have enough..."
Below, Wang Xiao continued to hone his fighting skills in a rare close-range cold weapon combat.
He dispersed the infected people who had gathered together and swept them off the platform one by one.
Those who ran fast were stabbed in the knees, those who wanted to bite were hit on the head. In short, in the process of fighting with these beast-like creatures, Wang Xiao actually found some rare sense of training.
Moreover, the stairs are very narrow, only two meters wide. As long as you don't let the infected person cross over you, you don't have to worry about protecting the person.
Occasionally, a fish that slips through the net will be accurately killed by a sniper on the city wall.
In short, this section of the city wall in the southern part of the outer city was successfully defended in a very cost-effective way. The extremely low sound of gunfire made the soldiers on the front line unaware and had no impact on morale.
Just when Wang Xiao felt an inappropriate sense of relief, the infected person's attack suddenly stopped, and in a terrible way.
In that instant, all the infected people stopped what they were doing and stood there in a daze like robots with the pause button pressed.
The next moment, all the infected people looked straight at Wang Xiao.
Whether they were the infected people who were pushing and attacking, or those waiting to go upstairs, or those who were swept down by the long sticks and crawling on the ground with broken legs, they were all looking at Wang Xiao from all directions at this moment without any blind spots.
Time seems to have stopped at this moment.
