Chapter 305: Helping in the Battlefield
"Everyone must stand in place and line up to be inspected. No crowding is allowed. Those who disobey will be shot immediately."
The repetitive sound began to spread around. At first, some people tried to push forward, but were hit by several bullets. After an uproar, everyone stopped where they were.
"All the teams' supporters, please go to East Lake in the East District as soon as possible."
As the horn sounded again, people dressed in what looked like uniform military uniforms began to forcibly clear the congestion and maintain order.
"Hello, we are from the Flame Squad," Meng Huan, who was driving, called out to the newcomers, "What's the situation ahead?"
"All teams in the base have gone to the East District. The entire East District is now under forcible blockade. The surrounding area is crowded and inaccessible. It will be faster if you get off the car and walk over here." The leading man held the gun in one hand and put his hand on the brim of his hat as he shouted at them.
"The zombies over there are out of control, please go there as soon as possible."
"Young Master Lu?" Meng Huan turned around and looked at Lu Weiyi.
"Get out of the car. Get to the scene as soon as possible," Lu Weiyi said, and he was the first to get out of the car. Several people followed him out one after another and followed his pace.
Meng Huan handed the car to the people maintaining order and went through the crowd with them.
The people who had been crowding and refusing to give way before now voluntarily made way for a passage.
They watched in silence as a few people moved forward against the crowd, each step firm and steady.
"I feel like a hero," Xu Sa sneered.
"You really know how to feel...haha..." Antonio's undisguised laughter penetrated the dripping rain and reached the ears of several people.
There are mercenaries and criminals in their group, and the word "hero" has nothing to do with them.
"You are heroes!" Lu Xiao's voice came from not far away.
Lu Weiyi looked up and realized that they had arrived at the place where the soldiers gathered without knowing when. There were well-trained people all around. They were wearing clothes of varying sizes, but they stood with their shoulders straight and looked very dignified.
Lu Xiao held the loudspeaker and looked at everyone, "Zombies are now out of control in Dongcheng District. What we need to do is to blockade the entire city and prevent any zombies from spreading out."
"I know there are ordinary people here. It is very unfair for you to stand here. If anyone wants to quit, leave the team now."
In the dim night, the rain kept pouring around my ears, and the cries, screams and howls in the distance were heard, striking at everyone's heart.
No one in the team left.
Everyone knows that they need to fight for their lives at the front, but they still stand where they are. They are the blood of the country's soldiers, and protecting the people is engraved in their bones.
"Some things always need to be done by people, and some places always need people to protect them. Everyone who can stand up at this time is a well-deserved hero!" Lu Xiao said with a choked voice.
Start assigning teams immediately, "All personnel agree to follow the deployment. Those with special abilities will follow Major Liu Dalong, and ordinary people will follow Brigade Commander Sun Chengjun. Now find a team immediately."
Major Liu and Brigade Commander Sun asked their subordinates to gather everyone, and they stood in front of Lu Xiao. Seeing Lu Weiyi and a few people standing not far from him, they nodded and greeted them, and asked about Lu Xiao's situation.
"The heavy rains over the past few days have caused the drainage outlet of the base to be blocked. The zombies entered the base through the drainage channel and hid in the East Lake. Now they have launched an attack together. The entire East District has fallen into chaos. We have decided to block the entire East District and not allow anyone to enter or leave."
"Where are the people who lived there before?" asked Major Liu.
Lu Xiao did not answer, "This is the option with the least loss. Otherwise, once the zombies spread out, the entire Kyoto base will be lost."
"Zhao Qiang and I both suspect that there are mental zombies controlling them, but the area is too large and it's completely dark all around. We can only delay the situation until dawn and conduct a thorough investigation."
"Dongcheng District now uses Xiaonan Alley, Xinbei Bridge, Maer Street and Xinxing Activity Center as the base points to form a square. Relying on earth-type ability users, all buildings on the route will be demolished and rebuilt into a unified wall, completely sealing off Dongcheng District."
"The area that Lieyan is in charge of now is from Xiaonan Alley in the East City to Xinbei Bridge in the north." Lu Xiao looked at Major Liu, "You arrange for earth-type psychics to build the wall, leaving exits at two points, and disperse the other psychics along the way to avoid zombies or..."
He paused for a moment, but didn't say those words in the end, "...Come out, kill any intruders you find. In addition, all A-level psychics must go into the city and kill the zombies."
"A temporary gathering point will be built 100 meters away from the exit of Xinbei Bridge. All surviving humans will be gathered here and those with special abilities will be managed uniformly. They will not be allowed to leave until they have been inspected at dawn."
"...Yes!" Major Liu looked heavy-hearted.
"Take half of the ordinary people and disperse them behind the military wall, and place the remaining half at the exit of Xinbei Bridge. We are responsible for this point."
"Yes," replied Brigade Commander Sun.
"In addition, the team's healing psychics will be guarding the Hope Hotel in the center, and will promptly send anyone who is injured or attacked by zombies there, and will do their utmost to save everyone's lives."
"Yes." The two took the order and left with their team members.
Lu Xiao then looked at Lu Weiyi, "You guys..."
Lu Weiyi looked around and without saying a word, took out a bunch of searchlights from the space.
Lu Xiao's eyes lit up, "Is this a searchlight? How far can it see?"
"About 500 meters," Lu Weiyi replied. Seeing that he was about to distribute it to his subordinates, he paused and added, "It's just borrowed."
"Okay, I'll return it to you after use," Lu Xiao laughed, "The surrounding circuits are damaged, and the other lights are not enough. With these, at least we can illuminate a little, so it's not completely dark."
"My job here is not only to prevent the zombies from spreading, but also to kill as many zombies as possible. Your team...?"
Lu Weiyi turned around and looked at the group, "According to the original plan, two healing personnel will stay in the Hope Hotel, and the rest will go into the city to kill the zombies."
After Lu Weiyi gave the order, he led the team and turned around to leave, but was grabbed by Lu Xiao, who stammered for a long time, "Be careful, uncle is waiting for you to come back."
Lu Weiyi nodded and quickly disappeared in the rain.
Lu Xiao waited until the person was out of sight before he calmed down and focused on the next command work.
…
The earth-type psychic took action, and the original building quickly collapsed and then stood up into a three-meter-high wall at a speed visible to the naked eye. There was a psychic every one meter and a searchlight every ten meters.
In a short while, the entire East City was surrounded.
Lu Weiyi and his group walked along Xiaonan Alley. Along the way, they could see zombies constantly biting the crowd. All kinds of superpowers poured out, killing the zombies, and some people continued to mutate.
The zombies seemed to be endless, and in almost an hour, they had traveled a hundred meters. Fortunately, the group had relatively high abilities and were not in such a bad state.
"Are they stronger? Why do I feel a little tired?" Xu Sa was panting. His supernatural powers were exhausted, so he had to start absorbing crystal cores.
"Yes" Antonio replied. His supernatural power is stronger than Xu Sa's, so he is quite relaxed at this moment. He controls a flying knife with one hand and shuttles through the pile of zombies. He also puts the other hand in his pocket to show off. The metallic luster is reflected by the light, like a flying lightning.
"You're getting more and more skilled in using your throwing knives. Look at the Yaka arrows. They're so cool." Ning Yuan praised enviously when he saw his weapon.
"Yeah, my idol is Yondu, I want to be like him and use the whistle to control my flying..."
Antonio's words came to an abrupt end, Ning Yuan exclaimed "Oh shit", and the others turned around quickly to guard their surroundings, and saw a zombie next to Antonio slowly falling down, with its outstretched fingernails less than a centimeter away from his face.
A small green branch invisible to the naked eye probed into the zombie's brain, and a crystal core floated in the air, swaying with Lu Weiyi's movements.
Antonio silently took a step back, looked up to meet Lu Weiyi's expressionless face, and as everyone in the circle tried to hold back their laughter, he silently took his hand out of his pocket.
"Hey, what kind of zombie was that just now? I didn't even feel him approaching?" Ning Yuan asked Lu Weiyi to avoid embarrassment.
"It should be the speed department. I didn't feel him either," Li Zhuang replied.
"Yes." Lu Weiyi harvested zombies with small green branches while using his mental power to guard his surroundings.
The people who were attacked by zombies not far away felt relieved and saw them running towards them in a hurry.
"Can you provide us with a ride to the temporary shelter on this base?"
"We are ordinary people without special powers. It is too dangerous to go alone."
"We have supplies at home. We can give you all our supplies. Could you please give us a ride?"
The dozen or so people should be a family. At this time, they did not forget to carry large and small bags, but did not know how to take some weapons for self-defense, as if they had not experienced the chaos of the early days of the apocalypse.
"We are going to kill the zombies ahead and try to rescue as many people as possible. Most of the zombies along the way have been killed by us. You can hurry up and get over there as soon as possible." The others were unwilling to speak, so Ning Yuan explained loudly and patiently.
"Even if we kill them, there is always the possibility that someone will transform into a zombie. It's only a short distance away, and you psychics are just making a side trip. Are you going to watch us die?"
"That's right. Aren't you soldiers here to protect us? My family paid so much tax before the end of the world. Now it's your turn to pay back, but you keep making excuses. Are you worthy of the money the country has spent on you..."
The man in front of him was halfway through his words when he found a flying knife pointed at his forehead, and Antonio on the opposite side looked at him with a smile.
"I'm not a soldier" Antonio raised an eyebrow.
A few naughty strands of hair poked out from the temples, stained by raindrops, dripping on his face, and sliding down the dirty blood of the zombies splashed on his face, leaving a dirty mark.
The light occasionally shone through, and between the flickering, one could only see a person wrapped in a black jumpsuit with a pale face, and the gaze looking over was eerie and captivating.
