Chapter 170: Close the base and prepare for war
However, the joyful atmosphere gradually faded with the reports of the monster tide's movements day by day, and was replaced by solemnity and depression.
"This video shows Nanshi, which is 580 kilometers away from us. This was taken last night."
The video shows the process of the Nanshi base being breached by a wave of monsters after four hours of resistance. Because it was dark, they could only see that this time there were not only red crab monsters, but also many other large and small creatures participating in the attack, but they could not see clearly what they were.
"The image shows Jing City, which is 521 kilometers southeast of Chaoyang Base. They sent out a request for assistance the morning before yesterday. This image was captured this morning."
It can be seen that the Jing City base is indeed a large base with a population of over three million and a large number of people with special abilities. After two days and two nights of siege, it is still stubbornly defending.
This time they saw several new monsters clearly.
First, there was a huge sea snake with an extremely large mouth. It moved very fast. It could jump onto the wall by slapping the ground with its tail and then swallow a person in one bite.
The soldiers on the wall fired wildly, but it was as useless as hitting a steel plate. You could even see the sparks from the bullets hitting the scales. The most terrifying thing was that when it returned to the ground, it opened its mouth and spit out a pile of bones.
In just a few seconds, the man was digested.
Then there were sharks with human faces and limbs, crawling on land like crocodiles. Looking down, they looked like stones. Their weapons were sharp teeth and claws. When they pounced on a guard, they would tear his head off, chew it up and swallow it.
There is also a kind of flat, triangular fish with a hard shell on its back. It moves close to the ground and no one knows how it moves. But don't take it lightly because it looks harmless. Lu Ming saw it with his own eyes. It crawled into the base through the gap in the wall, quietly came behind a guard, suddenly opened the hard shell, and a tongue-like thing popped out. It used the large suction cup on the surface to suck the guard's back, and then like a water pipe, blood-red color flowed from the guard's body along the tongue into the shell. In a few seconds, all the blood and flesh in the guard's body were sucked dry, and the living person turned into a corpse wrapped in skin and bones and fell down.
Lu Ming took a breath of cold air.
What the hell is this?!
However, after two more days of defense, news came that Jing City had fallen.
"The image shows Gao City, 450 kilometers from Chaoyang Base. They evacuated north a week ago and luckily escaped this attack."
But it can be seen that some mutant creatures are also chasing towards the north.
"This is Fei City, 401 kilometers away from us. They fell yesterday..."
"This is Fan City, 340 kilometers away, and it fell today..."
"This is a major city, 270 kilometers away, and it's been occupied..."
"East City, 230 kilometers, fallen..."
"This is...G City?!"
G City has also fallen?! That Baijia base, the Xue family, Chen Weiyang, Feng Shuo...
Video clip after video clip was intercepted, showing city after city falling and being destroyed before their eyes, no matter how big or small, with many people or few, except for those bases that were evacuated early, no base was spared.
But these compatriots also fought desperately until the end of their lives, eliminated many mutant creatures for them, and relieved a lot of pressure. There was even a base commander who pressed the time bomb switch before his death, blowing up the base's arsenal and perishing together with these monsters.
At this moment, everyone in front of the screen realized what racial differences meant and what it meant to be in dire straits.
In this battle, no one is spared.
They also heard the footsteps of Death approaching little by little.
Finally, the time came to August 29th.
"This is City D, only 100 kilometers away from us." Gu Chao pointed at the mess on the screen and said in a deep voice.
"There are no longer any large bases between City D and us. We can foresee that this wave of mutant creatures will arrive within half a month!"
"The next base to face these mutant creatures will be us!"
"Everyone, our battle for survival begins today!"
So the survivors of Chaoyang Base, who were living a happy life, heard such a broadcast on an extremely ordinary morning.
"Everyone, I'm the base commander, Gu Chao."
"What I'm about to say is extremely important. It concerns the lives of every one of you. Please put down what you are doing and listen carefully."
"To the east of the base, a hundred kilometers away, a wave of mutated marine creatures is rapidly approaching the base, expected to arrive within two weeks. Chaoyang Base will begin guarding the base at 8:00 AM on August 31st, the day after tomorrow. At that time, the base will be completely sealed off, and no one will be allowed to enter or exit. Therefore, if anyone wishes to leave, please hurry and exit through the north gate of the base as soon as possible and evacuate northward."
The announcement looped five times, followed by advice on evacuation routes.
As usual, they also played videos of marine creatures attacking other bases in the open spaces in front of the four gates of the base in the east, south, west and north.
This time, however, things were different.
The survivors of the last zombie siege continued with their work after the initial panic.
The newly joined survivors looked at these nervous yet methodical people in amazement, and asked in disbelief, "Aren't you planning to run?"
The person being questioned looked puzzled: "Why are you running? Is there any other place safer than Chaoyang Base?"
"You can go to the capital."
"Hey, didn't you hear what those people from H City said? They originally planned to go to the capital, but the capital base said it was full and couldn't accept anyone, so they came here."
"But, looking at those monsters is so scary, and the base commander also asked us to evacuate."
"I don't know. Anyway, I won't leave if they don't leave. Going anywhere else won't be any better. I trust the base commander. They were able to defend the base last time, so they can definitely do it this time."
"Last time? What last time?"
"Oh, you don't know yet. Let me tell you. It was more than half a year ago. A wave of zombies attacked our original base. At that time..."
So two days later, the gate was completely closed. The guards counted the number of people and found that out of the 150,000 people in the base, only more than 6,000 had left, and most of them were survivors who arrived later. This made them quite relieved.
At the gate, a young girl asked the man next to her, "Dad, why don't we leave? Those things look so scary to me."
The man, Zhao Mingyuan, replied, "Haven't you heard the joke about the H City base? It's about a bunch of idiots in a base in the south who, during a zombie siege, tried to hold a base with hundreds of thousands of survivors with only a few hundred men."
"Of course I have heard of it. I think I told you this."
"Then do you want to know what happens next?"
"Is there a follow-up?"
"These idiots not only truly defended the base, but also led those people to migrate westward and establish a thriving new base. And those jokesters, on the other hand, stayed in H City forever."
"Ah, you mean..."
"Here is the new base."
