Chapter 133 Zombie Siege (26) - Zombie Tide Arrives
Si Zhong disappeared without a trace, and Ning Shu and the others didn't bother with him either, since they couldn't and didn't need to.
After tidying up, they planned to take a nap.
Before lying down, Ning Shu looked out the window at the place where they had set the trap a few days ago, hoping that their efforts over the past few days would not have been in vain.
Because someone was keeping watch, Ning Shu and the others were able to sleep peacefully.
Ning Shu was awakened by a tremor at some point. Was it an earthquake?
Ning Shu quickly shook Zai Fumeng awake, then turned on the flashlight and checked the time on the control panel.
It's 2 a.m. on the last day of the dungeon run, and the house she's in is shaking slightly, like a small earthquake.
Just as Ning Shu was about to go next door to wake Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi, the light suddenly came on through the window, and then he heard the alarm going off.
This time, she didn't need to call anyone; everyone else would get up. Ning Shu had just opened the door when she saw Cheng Chuan standing outside, ready to knock.
Cheng Chuan: "The zombie army is here, there are many of them. Let's go out and check the situation."
Ning Shu pulled Zai Fumeng along: "Okay."
The four of them arrived at a spot where they could see the outer perimeter of the base.
Although it was not yet dawn, the base's outer walls were illuminated by high-wattage lights spaced at intervals, powered by generators.
They could see the zombie horde surging in from afar, so densely packed that it triggered trypophobia in anyone who looked at it.
Looking into the distance, the zombie horde resembled an endless ocean, constantly "rolling" towards the base.
Ning Shu couldn't see the ferocious expressions on their faces, but seeing their uncoordinated movements as they still moved forward made her feel physically uncomfortable.
People were shouting and yelling everywhere in the base. The NPCs were either panicked or looking for weapons to defend themselves. It was a chaotic scene.
Cheng Chuan had to shout to speak: "Let's go to the command center and see which place we're going to guard."
They were not well-trained soldiers and did not know how to command in combat.
Leave the professional tasks to the professionals. Their goal is to clear the level, and at the same time, they can also contribute to protecting the base.
They could kill indiscriminately, but it might be a waste of effort. It would be better to accept unified command from the command center, since everyone's goal is the same anyway.
When they arrived at the command center, they saw through the cameras that many zombies were already close to the cordon.
The commander breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ning Shu and the others:
"I've arranged places for all of you with special abilities."
Although we only have one gate, they will likely climb over the wall.
Please guard the east side of the wall, and provide support to the south and north walls as needed.
The commander meant that all the other players were in position and they could now go to the east wall.
Ning Shu and his group hurried toward the east wall, and before they even arrived, they heard several explosions outside the wall.
It must be the remote-controlled mines that were planted earlier that took effect; once the zombie horde crossed the warning line and reached a certain number, it was a good start.
The official NPCs will send away a batch of zombies first to protect the base and prevent them from crossing the walls.
The wall was built for guard duty, and although it's called a "wall," its design is actually somewhat similar to an ancient city wall, although the passageway is a bit narrow.
When Ning Shu and his group arrived at the east wall, they found that the zombies below the wall had piled up almost to the top of the wall in a human pyramid fashion.
The NPC next to him poured out the gasoline and other flammable liquids that had been placed by the wall, and then threw down a few sparks.
A raging fire immediately broke out on the zombie side, and the zombies continued to climb upwards amidst the flames, the flames rising for a while before falling back down.
Seeing the zombies gradually fall, the NPCs breathed a sigh of relief, but were immediately met with another wave of zombie attacks.
After several such attempts, all the combustibles on the wall were used up.
The NPCs looked grim as they watched the endless stream of zombies pouring in.
One of the NPCs shouted, "Don't give up! Grab your weapons! Send them back as soon as they come up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the NPCs picked up the weapons on the ground, including knives, axes, steel pipes, and even guns—anything they could use.
Seeing that the time was right, Cheng Chuan said to Ning Shu and the others, "It's our turn to go on stage!"
The four of them stood on the wall and, seeing the zombies getting close, used their superpowers to kill them.
Ning Shu's Sky-Splitting Strike was quite amazing, but that was what others thought. She herself felt that the sensation in her hands was really terrible.
Cheng Chuan didn't use his skills for the time being, but instead used a steel pipe. His skills were more suitable for situations where a large number of zombies attacked.
If we're dealing with them one by one, we should just use weapons; otherwise, it would be too wasteful.
His martial arts are simple and brutal; he petrifies zombies and then punches them with his fists. He is so strong that the zombies can't even bite him.
Zai Fumeng was the most imposing among the group at this moment. She was wearing armor that covered her entire body, not even a single hair was visible.
With a glass window on his face and a Gatling gun in his hand, he looked every bit the imposing armored warrior—well, a clumsy version.
Zaifu Meng, who had just put on his gear, almost lost his balance and staggered.
Although her equipment was excellent, it was too cumbersome, making her movements rather slow, but this did not affect her combat effectiveness.
Her Gatling gun swept down the wall, instantly felling a group of zombies, much to the delight of those present.
To conserve energy, they took turns using their powers in pairs, giving everyone a break.
Cheng Chuan kept looking left and right with the binoculars the commander had given him, keeping an eye on whether there was any danger of zombies breaking through the south gate and the north wall.
By 7 a.m., the first wave of attacking zombies had been almost completely wiped out.
By this time, it was already broad daylight, and the lights were turned off.
Although Ning Shu and the others were tired, they were still fine and took the opportunity to replenish their water and food.
Cheng Chuan surveyed his surroundings and, finding no signs of breaching the base, breathed a sigh of relief.
The NPCs who were with them were removed and replaced by a new batch of NPCs, along with new supplies.
Ning Shu was unfamiliar with the base's layout and asked an NPC, "Are you taking turns on guard duty?"
The other party replied, "Of course, people have limited energy, so taking turns can maximize their effectiveness."
Ning Shu remained silent. Damn it, NPCs can take turns coming, but players have to endure it all day. She really had to thank them.
Suddenly, Ning Shu felt another tremor beneath his feet. His heart tightened. It was happening again!
She looked outside and, sure enough, a new wave of zombies was attacking.
She suddenly felt like she was playing Plants vs. Zombies; it was truly one wave after another.
This time, they again let the NPCs go first, while they rested and monitored from the sidelines. They only intervened when the NPCs were about to collapse. In this way, they survived several waves of zombie hordes.
