Chapter 375: Stone City Crisis Part 4
Ding Yibing heard the order to evacuate, and he led the retreat himself. His face turned pale, and his voice trembled. "They... aren't leaving?"
The subordinate nodded, "Yes, no one will leave, Brother Ding, hurry up, otherwise everyone's efforts will be in vain."
Ding Yibing's throat was choked with sobs, making it difficult for him to speak. His lips trembled as he exhaled sharply. "Notify the medical staff at the hospital to take the injured with them. Everyone else, take your belongings. Don't take anything except medicine, food, or weapons. Leave in ten minutes. Find two people who are good at blasting and go to the end to destroy the stairs."
"Brother Ding," the subordinate said heavily after several breaths, "Brother Lu said that we won't take any wounded with us."
Ding Yibing suddenly looked up, his eyes red, and growled with gritted teeth, "We must bring them, not one less."
He was reluctant to see his men lower their heads, but what could he do? These wounded were all seriously injured. Those who had a little strength and could still breathe on their own were all outside on the battlefield.
Taking the seriously injured away would not only be a burden, but they might not survive. There was no other way, really no other way.
"I have the final say in this matter. I am the leader and everyone has to listen to me. Go quickly and don't waste time." It is rare for Ding Yibing to have such a firm and authoritarian moment in his life. He will never give up on anyone, never.
The subordinate said nothing. He couldn't bring himself to say he was giving up. He turned around and went to make arrangements.
Ding Yibing took a deep breath. He had to take the research materials with him. They were more important than his life.
In the base, everyone started to move. The kids who were just learning to speak were very obedient and helped to pack up and carry things.
Fortunately, Lan Shiruo had contracted mutant beasts for everyone, which came in handy now.
The base was busy and sad. Among those who stayed behind were their relatives and friends, but they could not ask their relatives and friends to leave with them, because it was not just their relatives and friends who stayed behind.
This separation is forever, and there will be no possibility of meeting again, right?
Ten minutes, no matter how reluctant they are, they still have to leave.
Everyone gathered in front of the mountain. Ding Yibing looked around and saw the grief in everyone's eyes.
He was in pain too, very much pain.
"Let's go and look after each other."
Everyone turned around at the same time. The fighting was still going on in front of them. Let's go. Only by leaving can we live up to the peace that we paid for with our lives.
Everyone, one after another, stepped up the stairs with heavy steps.
Ding Yibing walked at the end, took a look around, said goodbye to the place where he had lived for several years and the friends with whom he had worked hard.
"They're gone," the younger brother reported to Lu Gan and Kong Fenglin.
The two nodded lightly, feeling a little relieved. At least, Shicheng was not completely wiped out.
Lugan sent everyone away and said, "Go ahead, I can defend this place by myself." Holes had been dug in the mountains on both sides of the canyon, and explosives had been buried there. All we had to do was ignite the fuse.
The subordinate nodded heavily, "Brother Lu, take care."
"Well, you guys, take care too."
More than a dozen men rushed out of the mountainside and into the battle group.
On the city wall, Kong Fenglin was covered in blood, his superpowers over-consumed, his face pale, and his whole body trembling. Looking at the rotting corpses below the wall and the last wave of enemies that had already approached, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Open the city gates, everyone stand aside, welcome."
"yes."
Kong Fenglin looked outside the city and said, "Whatever you want, just come in and get it based on your ability."
Turn around and jump off the tall building.
There were rotting zombies in the city, but the Stone City guards ignored them completely and let them rush towards them before killing them.
This wave of operations made the people outside the city hesitate. Logically speaking, the stone city was already vulnerable, and there were still corpses inside. They could just sit here and wait. Even if they rushed in, there would be no loss. Everything in the stone city would belong to them.
But I always have a bad feeling, and I feel panic in my heart whether I go in or leave.
The people outside didn't come in, and Kong Fenglin was not anxious. He just stood there through the door frame and said with a smile, "It seems that my Shicheng is not welcoming enough, so we can't invite guests in. Come on, light the fireworks."
"yes."
Under everyone's gaze, the subordinate walked to the corner and lit a small fuse there.
The hissing sound spread all the way up the wall, where a ton of explosives was stored.
It is laid out in the open without any concealment.
People were so used to conspiracies that no one noticed at the beginning.
They are used to searching hidden and dark corners, and things in the sun are completely ignored.
Seeing the explosion was about to happen, a group of people turned around and ran out, but unexpectedly, all the iron doors that were opened were closed. They could open them again, but they didn't have time.
Now only the gate into the city was open, and they had to go in.
There was no time to think, tens of thousands of people rushed into the stone city and ran inside.
Kong Fenglin smiled coldly. Life and ambition did not seem to be proportional. These people's lives could not support their huge ambitions.
A group of people rushed in, but the expected explosion did not sound.
Looking back, I found that the fuse broke ten centimeters away from the explosives, or in other words, it was only pulled there and was not connected to the explosives.
A group of people were furious and embarrassed. They were fooled by Shi Cheng and lost face. "Shi Cheng is really despicable."
Everyone in Shicheng was so angry that they laughed. Is this considered turning the tables?
As expected, don't expect animals to reason.
Although he was angry, he did not forget to observe. After this group of people came in, the zombies stopped attacking and just wandered around in a daze. It seemed that the person controlling them was among this group of people.
So, let's all go to hell together.
Raise your hand, put it down.
Thousands of guards in Shicheng opened their coats, revealing the explosives tied around their waists. These were made according to the recipe left by Ding Jiajia. Any psychics below level five could be killed by the explosives, and any corpses below level five could also be blown to pieces.
He held the fire starter close to the fuse, his expression calm, not showing any fear or reluctance at the impending death.
Everyone was shocked, not expecting Shi Cheng to be so ruthless. But at the same time, they felt that there must be a great treasure that was worth their protection.
Danger and treasure coexist. They know that there is a 50% chance of getting either danger or treasure. They always believe that they are the lucky one, so their panicked hearts calm down in an instant. They are determined to take the treasure of Shicheng.
"Is Shicheng really at his wit's end? He's resorting to such extreme and foolish tactics. Don't you think he can still fool us?"
Kong Fenglin smiled and said, "If it works, you'll know if you try it."
They wanted to give it a try, but none of them wanted to be the first to try it. For a moment, everyone was silent.
Kong Fenglin raised his eyebrows calmly. What he was betting on was selfish human nature. After all, he didn't want any of his brothers to be missing. It was not worth dying for these people.
"Everyone is welcome to visit Shicheng. We will set off fireworks to welcome you. If anyone feels that Shicheng is too simple and wants to leave, we will make it easy for them."
Everyone hesitated for a long time and still didn't dare to make a decision. If they stayed, they were afraid of death, but if they left, they were unwilling to do so.
The situation was deadlocked for a moment.
