The young man's name is Zhou Yan. When the apocalypse broke out and the security zone began to be converted into a base, he came here as soon as possible, bringing many employees from the company with him.
Although he has no special skills and has not awakened any special abilities yet, he lives a relatively good life in the base because he has won over these employees.
The weakling in front of him was also one of his company's employees, a newly graduated intern. He was small and timid, always following behind the others in everything he did. Zhou Yan had wanted to kick this guy out before, but a few days ago, this guy suddenly became strange. The strangest thing was that when he accidentally ran into him that morning, he stared at him for a long time, then excitedly shouted, "Zhou Yan! You are Zhou Yan!"
Listen, how surprising! Mr. Zhou, who's been calling me Mr. Zhou for months, doesn't even know my name? And he acts like he's finally found him after centuries of searching.
Zhou Yan, a sharp man, naturally took note. He then noticed significant changes in other aspects of the young intern, Xu Tianjin. It was as if he had become a completely different person. Furthermore, the way he looked at him was a bit strange: a mixture of fear, conflict, and a touch of flattery.
The strangest thing happened today. When they went out to look for supplies and the rain started, Xu Tianjin's face changed and he insisted on returning to the base quickly. They were all looking for a place to hide from the rain and were ready to take action after the rain stopped, but Xu Tianjin was extremely persistent and excited. Zhou Yan wanted to see what he was doing, so he agreed to come back in the rain.
The result was that the zombies that were caught in the rain rioted as if they had turned on crazy. Fortunately, they walked fast, otherwise they would have been trapped in the horde of zombies.
Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes and patted the distraught Xu Tianjin. "Don't worry, Xiao Xu, we're back. The base walls are very strong."
Xu Tianjin looked at him and came to his senses: "Yes, it's very solid."
At this time, most of the people outside the base gate had come in, but zombies continued to appear, so the base began to close the gate.
This is a five-meter-high gate made of thirty-centimeter thick steel plates, embedded in a seven- or eight-meter-high city wall made of thicker concrete and steel bars. The whole thing looks very domineering. When it closes, the sound of electric current and the heavy sound of the pulley rolling can give people a strong sense of security.
At this moment, a car rushed over from the rain in the distance, and the people in the car shouted: "Wait a minute, close the door!"
The two lines of guards who had already gathered inside stopped, and the middle-aged man in a raincoat at the head stood inside the gate and shouted, "Show me your identification information. After verification, come in."
Ye Xiao jumped out of the car and walked over, soaking wet from the rain. "I'm not from the base. I'm Ye Xiao, the captain of the special operations team codenamed 23***N11. This is my officer ID. There's a convoy from Yang City about three kilometers away. I hope the base can open the gate and let us in."
The other party took the damp officer's ID and glanced at it, then looked at Ye Xiao: "I will verify your identity later. Is the convoy from Yang City you mentioned the one led by Major General Xing?"
"No, we are divided into two groups. The group led by Major General Xing is still further behind."
The other party's expression changed slightly: "How many people are there in this convoy?"
"One hundred and fifty-three thousand people."
The other person's expression completely darkened. "Sorry, everyone entering the base must undergo strict inspection. Conditions don't allow that today. You can find a place to settle down first and come back after the rain stops."
As he was about to leave, Ye Xiao's eyes turned cold and he reached out to stop him: "Where are you going to let so many people go in such heavy rain?"
The other party said, "This is your business. If you are allowed in without being checked, who knows if there are any infected people in your convoy? I must be responsible for the millions of people in the base!"
"Report! A large number of zombies are approaching from the direction of the industrial city!" someone suddenly shouted, "The commander has ordered the gates to be closed immediately!"
The middle-aged man was about to step into the door: "Close——"
Ye Xiao grabbed him. The middle-aged man's face changed: "What are you going to do?"
Ye Xiao said: "Who is your leader? Let me tell him."
When Xing Guoliang left, it was said that several factions were competing for the final position of the boss, and now it seems that a result has been reached.
The middle-aged man was furious: "Who do you think you are?" He roared: "Close the door!"
Ye Xiao grabbed his arm and twisted it, pressing him against the 30-centimeter-wide thickness of the door. His face was in tight contact with the cold metal, and it was squeezed so hard that it hurt.
Swish, swish, swish, suddenly several guns were pointed at Ye Xiao's head.
The door slid open, and the two men were standing in the middle of the two doors. They would definitely be crushed before the door closed completely. The middle-aged man was a little panicked: "Let me go, shoot, kill him!"
Those holding guns looked at each other uncertainly. Ye Xiao did not need them to hesitate. With a wave of his hand, a hurricane swept them to the ground. Ye Xiao grabbed the middle-aged man and said coldly, "Let me talk to your leader."
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "I understand. Stop the door. Hey, ask your superiors to let you speak."
The person he called was the soldier who had just received the notice from above to close the gate. He had ready-made communication equipment in his hands and immediately did as he was told.
Ye Xiao took the opportunity to look inside the base.
There is a large open space inside the gate, but it cannot accommodate such a large convoy. However, there is a wide road on the left, which should lead to the parking lot. As far as the eye can see, there are vehicles and a considerable open space.
The soldier quickly explained the situation, and the request for dialogue was approved. Ye Xiao, still holding the middle-aged man with one hand, took over with the other and repeated his self-introduction: "Time is limited, so I won't say much. Before the military channel was paralyzed, I reported to Major General Min that we would be arriving at the Ning City base. He should have said hello. There are now 153,000 people in the convoy, as well as important people that Major General Min specifically asked to protect. We must enter the base."
After hearing what was said over there, Ye Xiao put the phone to the middle-aged man's ear. The middle-aged man nodded twice and then commanded: "Open the door, open the door."
The huge and heavy door slid to the sides again, and the crackling sound of the electric current was almost inaudible amid the heavy rain.
Ye Xiao let go of the middle-aged man. The man glared at him fiercely and reluctantly gave the order: "Everyone, cover the convoy and come in."
Ye Xiao also explained the situation using his walkie-talkie. In just two minutes, the long convoy became faintly visible in the rain. Beams of car lights struggled to penetrate the rain curtain, illuminating the sky that was dark due to the heavy rain.
Ye Xiao stood outside the gate in the heavy rain, directing cars one by one to drive into the gate. He also gave instructions through the intercom: "After entering the gate, turn left to the parking lot. Park as tightly as possible to make more space for the cars behind."
The three people in the Fifth Battalion were nervously watching the picture on the screen. The blue front of the convoy had entered the base gate, but there was still a long line behind it, and the yellow arrows representing zombies were becoming more and more numerous and getting closer.
"Hurry up, faster!"
Lin Tantan was sweating as he looked at the arrows. If the zombies arrived before the convoy had even finished entering...
Bai Cheng from the Fourth Battalion in front was also looking at the same scene. He calculated that there might not be enough time. The base did not show any active intention to welcome them. The so-called cover was just firing a few shots down from the city wall. They still had to rely on themselves.
He picked up the intercom and calmly commanded, "All artillery vehicles, move out."
There are artillery vehicles in the convoy. The strongest one is naturally the armored vehicle obtained from Xing Guoliang. In addition, more than 20 vehicles were modified under the leadership of Xu Qin. Some of them are equipped with machine guns, grenade launchers, or directly homemade cannons. Each brigade is equipped with two to three vehicles.
We also encountered a group of zombies on the way. The response at that time was to urgently gather the convoy, with trucks forming a line of defense on the outside and artillery vehicles forming a second line of defense, throwing ammunition at the zombies, with considerable attack power.
But at that time, everyone had no way to retreat and could only obey orders and unite to fight the enemy. Now, once they entered the base, they were safe. The people driving the artillery vehicles were also ordinary people. They were willing to leave the convoy at this time and stay until the end...
Sure enough, after Bai Cheng issued this order, only half of the artillery vehicles obeyed.
Bai Cheng sighed and thought, forget it, this cannot be forced. Everyone’s life is their own life, and no one can force anyone to sacrifice for anyone else.
The armored vehicle he was riding in was naturally out of the line.
This is actually an armored personnel carrier with a large interior space that can carry ten people. It was originally used by Xu Qin, but later Xu Qin gave it to Bai Cheng, who used it as a mobile command center.
Of course, as a transport vehicle, it is different from those destroyer-type armored vehicles. It has no turret and only a machine gun installed on the upper left side.
Under the command of Bai Cheng, more than ten artillery vehicles of various shapes were lined up on the left wing of the convoy, facing the industrial city. When the first wave of zombies emerged from the distant building and approached at a very fast speed, the homemade ammunition was thrown out first.
A black shadow arced through the rain curtain and fell into the pile of zombies. It instantly exploded into countless pieces, cutting down some zombies, or bursting a piece of mud and soil, blowing the zombies away.
Only then did the Fifth Battalion begin to enter the base.
Inside the carriage, Lin Tantan and Mei Bosheng exchanged a glance: "Shall we go?"
"Walk."
As they were talking, they opened the back of the car, and the rain suddenly rushed in, startling the pickup truck following behind.
Jiang Xiaotian looked at them and said, "Be careful."
Mei Bosheng waved at him, then jumped out of the car with Lin Tantan and ran out of the convoy very quickly and nimbly.
Jiang Xiaotian sighed, feeling a little envious. He wished he also had special powers. Looking back, he saw that the rain was almost damaging his precious equipment, so he hurriedly closed the door in a panic.
Mei Bosheng brought Lin Tantan quickly to the armored vehicle, climbed up first, and then pulled Lin Tantan up. On the armored vehicle, a guy who was holding a machine gun and waiting for the zombies to enter the shooting range was startled.
Bai Cheng, who emerged from the command tower to the right of the machine gun, was also startled: "What are you doing here?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you have a gun? Give me a cool one."
Lin Tantan said with great self-awareness, "I don't want a gun anymore. I can't shoot accurately."
Bai Cheng glanced at them twice, then went downstairs to get a gun for Mei Bosheng. It was a machine gun, which looked very heavy. The bullets could wrap around the shoulders several times. It was originally equipped with an armored vehicle.
At this time, the first wave of zombies had been defeated by a wave of ammunition, but they could not withstand the endless stream of zombies appearing behind them.
Lin Tantan was wearing a baseball cap, trying hard to keep the rain out of his eyes. He squinted his eyes and watched the zombies that gradually revealed themselves in the rain.
Some had drooping necks and heads that were about to fall off, some had missing arms and broken legs, their faces were pale and mushy, and their stomachs were broken with intestines hanging out.
It was approaching with a loud roar.
Lin Tantan tried to mobilize the rain from the sky and the ground, but it didn't work. Her water ability was not strong enough. She could mobilize the rain, but it would not have much killing power. It would definitely not work to use fire ability on a rainy day.
There is also an earth system.
Well, let’s just stick to the gold system for now.
She waved her five fingers, and countless golden lights cut through the rain curtain and pierced into the heads of the zombies. With one wave, a group of zombies fell down, and the harvesting effect was amazing.
Mei Bosheng stood upright on the car with a machine gun in his hand, and started firing indiscriminately. He looked so awesome that he even roared a few times to build up momentum for himself.
As one wave of zombies vanished, another appeared, seemingly endless, and not just from one direction. Some were heading for the convoy, but many were after the base. A base housing millions of people was, in the eyes of the zombies, a piece of delicious, fragrant meat.
Gradually, ice-type psychics appeared, thunder-type psychics appeared, earth-type psychics appeared, wind-type psychics appeared...
One after another, the superpowered emerged from the convoy. Some were low on energy and retreated after a few waves of mana, while others held out a little longer. Several small guards emerged, using their guns to suppress the zombies with firepower.
"Meimei!" Lin Tantan suddenly shouted.
The armored vehicle was the outermost of the artillery vehicles in the row, the farthest from the base, and was under the greatest pressure. At this time, in addition to a group of zombies rushing out from the direction of the industrial city, there was also a wave coming from the side. The zombies were unable to deal with it in time and were sneaked into the safe range by the wave of zombies from the side.
Mei Bosheng took a look, put down the machine gun in his hand, sat cross-legged in the car facing the zombies, took a deep breath, shouted, and extreme darkness suddenly spread out from his palm. With him as the starting point, an irregular dark area with a range of thirty meters appeared in front of him.
