"Weilun, I want to go too!"
Qin Mutong suddenly tightened her grip on Wei Lun's hand, wanting to accompany him to the rescue of the valley outpost. In truth, she was simply worried about Wei Lun's safety.
"Girl, we're all heading there now, so you stay at the base. We can't be without someone to lead us!"
Wei Lun refused Qin Mutong's request to go with him, because this trip was different from before and was extremely dangerous. If an emergency occurred and there was no time to rescue her, Wei Lun would be devastated if Qin Mutong got injured.
Ultimately, under Wei Lun's arrangement, Qin Jiayou could only stay at the base to guard it with Qin Mutong, waiting for their return.
As for Zeng Guangtian, Du Kun, Lei Long, and Zhu Guanjun, they were fully armed, and a small team of 30 people went along with them.
After receiving another thousand rounds of ammunition, the squad boarded a medium-sized truck and headed towards the valley outpost.
Because it was nighttime, Qin Mutong was even more worried, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Dad, why won't Wei Lun let me go? And why did he detain you too?"
Qin Mutong was very sad. She was also a very accurate shot, and after a long period of training, she was now a professional sniper who could easily snipe enemies from 100 meters away.
Qin Jiayou watched the car drive away, then turned to look at his daughter.
“Mu Tong, Wei Lun doesn’t want you to take risks. He can’t take care of the battlefield and you at the same time. If you go, it will distract him.”
Qin Jiayou deeply understood Wei Lun's decision, and even the reason for detaining him was for Qin Mutong's sake. He wasn't angry about it; on the contrary, he was very gratified because no matter how urgent the situation, his boss never forgot to take care of Qin Mutong. This was the most enviable love in the apocalypse.
"Hmph, you just don't believe me!"
Qin Mutong pouted and turned back into the house, leaving Qin Jiayou alone gazing into the distance, muttering to himself, "I hope this time will go smoothly again!"
...
A military truck sped towards the valley outpost.
The young men in the vehicle were all fully armed, each receiving over a hundred rounds of ammunition. Combined with their existing ammunition, each person now had at least three hundred rounds, which was quite abundant for a zombie horde.
"Zeng Guangtian, how much longer?"
Wei Lun looked at the gradually darkening sky. More and more zombies were appearing on both sides of the road. There was almost a group of zombies running behind them. If the truck hadn't been fast enough, they would have faced an attack from hundreds of zombies before they even reached the valley stronghold.
"Boss, almost there, ten minutes at most!"
Zeng Guangtian sat in the passenger seat, Lei Long was driving, and in the back sat Wei Lun, Du Kun, Zhu Guanjun, and 30 members of the guard team, each of them on edge.
What is about to begin is an unprecedented war, as they will face a large number of Level 2 zombies, and it will be a nighttime battle with very poor visibility.
"All personnel, listen up! Prepare your weapons and equipment. After disembarking, do everything in your power to rescue the patrol team at the outpost. We absolutely cannot allow them to be wiped out!"
Wei Lun gave the order and then distributed one individual rocket launcher to each person. At this moment, he was also a little worried. Zombies were very alert at night and moved very quickly. If the automatic rifles could not suppress the zombies, he would have to charge with bayonets.
If it really comes to that, I'm afraid the people I brought won't even be enough to fill the zombies' teeth.
On the truck, everyone sprang into action upon receiving the order, checking their weapons and preparing to jump out and fight at any moment.
...
The valley outpost at this moment,
Fu Xixi also participated in this operation at the first line of defense.
"Hold on, everyone! Don't let the zombies break through the defenses! Reinforcements are on their way!"
Although Fu Xixi's marksmanship was mediocre, her strength lay in her ability to inspire. Her words filled everyone with anticipation for reinforcements, and they fought even harder against the zombies.
As for Fu Yuanyu, the leader of the valley stronghold, he was currently holding a heavy machine gun.
"Da da da da da..."
Fu Yuanyu fired wildly at the horde of zombies ahead, as if bullets were worthless. This heavy machine gun was a defensive weapon he had obtained from the settlement behind him.
Because Fu Yuanyu had some connections with the settlement, each person was well-equipped with ammunition for this defensive mission.
Although many of the zombies are level 2, they can only last about half a minute longer than ordinary zombies in the face of a massive barrage of fire.
This zombie horde has reached an astonishing number, completely uncountable; all that can be heard are the terrifying roars of the zombies.
Because it was dark, everything was pitch black as far as the eye could see. Fu Yuanyu immediately ordered all the vehicle lights at the valley outpost to be turned on, illuminating the path ahead.
A deep sense of powerlessness arose in everyone.
This wasn't a few hundred zombies, nor a thousand or two thousand; it was more like tens of thousands of zombies.
That's terrifying! Even if we manage to hold them off, we can't possibly kill them all. I'd conservatively estimate at least three thousand zombies!
"Boss, this isn't working! It's such a waste of bullets. Even if you're rich, you can't just spend money like this!"
Fu Xixi said to Fu Yuanyu from the side, "There is only one Level 2 enhanced user here, Fu Yuanyu. When the bullets run out, relying solely on physical strength for hand-to-hand combat, most of the patrol team members, except for Fu Yuanyu, may not be able to defeat the zombies."
"Everyone aim and fire at the same point, we might not be able to sleep tonight!"
Fu Xixi shouted loudly. Although Fu Yuanyu was somewhat unhappy with the woman's order at this moment, he did not refute her because it was an emergency.
Some level 2 zombies broke through the defenses and injured several patrol members.
Fu Yuanyu rushed to the rescue, but the number of zombies was increasing, and everyone was becoming numb.
The gun muzzles were extremely hot; everyone was fighting with all their might to defend, but the first line of defense was already on the verge of collapse.
Fu Yuanyu set up the first line of defense on the outer perimeter of the stronghold.
The second line of defense is the stronghold's gate, while the third line of defense is set up above the internal passageways of the stronghold.
In other words, if the zombies break through the second line of defense, the stronghold is already in grave danger; if they reach the third line of defense, the valley stronghold can be declared essentially breached.
As the number of patrol members injured or killed increased, Fu Yuanyu was forced to order a retreat under pressure.
"All personnel retreat to the second line of defense!"
After Fu Yuanyu finished speaking, all the patrol members began to retreat quickly.
Looking back at the road behind her, Fu Xixi said anxiously, "Why haven't they come yet? Have they abandoned the valley outpost?"
Fu Yuanyu snorted coldly: "Hmph, those guys are not trustworthy at all, and only you would ask them for help!"
"Da da da da..."
Gunfire erupted from the valley outpost. Just as everyone retreated to the second line of defense, bright truck headlights shone towards them.
Fu Xixi exclaimed excitedly, "They're here!"
