The cold rain of late autumn was especially chilly, and when the rain hit the bodies of the people, it caused their bodies to feel extremely cold. The meat of a Type 2 Mutant Beast was not an invincible treasure. In the midst of the cold rain, a number of weak survivors fell to the ground, never to get up again.
Among those who fell, there were children, women and men, but no matter who fell, no one would help them up. The people at the back continued to surge forward, pushing the people at the front forward.
Even when the soldiers under Yue Zhong saw this, they could only harden their hearts and ignore it. They had to get the survivors across as soon as possible. This was because every minute that the survivors did not cross the bridge, their comrades at the frontlines would not be able to retreat.
Under the supervision of Guo Quan and the soldiers of the Ning Guang County First Battalion, the survivors lined up obediently and crossed the bridge in an orderly manner. However, the speed at which they crossed the bridge could not be sped up.
The bridge was 500m long, and the number of people that could cross it every hour was only about 12,000 people. This was already the fastest speed that the bridge could cross without any blockages.
After 7 hours, the bridge had only allowed about 80,000 survivors to cross, and at the same time, there were at least 400 survivors who had fallen on the road. This heavy rain not only caused the deaths of the weaker survivors, it also hindered the movement of Tai Yiyan and the rest of the survivors. After all, no one was willing to be drenched in the rain outside.
After 7 hours, at the frontlines of the battle, Yue Zhong saw the sea of zombies swarming towards their camp.
When the huge horde of zombies surged over, all sorts of concentrated firepower were fired at the zombies in a frenzy.
Under the ferocious firepower, a large number of zombies fell one after another like wheat being cut down. Very quickly, the zombies at the back filled up the gap. At the same time, there were a number of zombies that crawled up from the ground and made their way towards SY County.
The barbed wire, steel wires and tripwires were of great use, as the zombies that only knew how to advance were all tripped by the steel wires. Following that, the zombies at the back were also tripped and fell, before being trampled into meat paste by the zombies at the back.
The antlers and barricades also killed a number of ordinary zombies, blocking their way. However, the moment the over 2m tall L2s appeared, they immediately used their monstrous strength to destroy the antlers and barricades.
The zombies relied on their huge advantage in numbers and their fearless nature, using corpses to pave a path forward.
The Corpse Sea Tactic was the simplest yet most terrifying tactic. They relied on their absolute numbers and fearless nature. Even with Yue Zhong's and Shen Hongyang's troops working together, they still felt that it was extremely taxing. No matter how many zombies they killed, there would always be more to replenish their numbers. They kept losing position after position, retreating step by step.
"Guo Quan, how's the situation with the survivors crossing the river? Answer me! " At the forefront of the battle, Yue Zhong was holding a .05 submachine gun and firing wildly at the zombies, while shouting into the walkie-talkie.
Facing the hundreds of thousands of zombies, even if he was a Spirit-based and Instance-based dual-attribute Evolver, he would not be able to survive. It was still not of much use. He was at the frontlines, and wanted to rely on his own strength, to reduce the pressure on the frontlines.
Guo Quan quickly replied, "91,000 survivors have crossed the river!"
Yue Zhong was infuriated, as he continued to kill a dozen zombies, while shouting into the walkie-talkie: "What the hell are you doing? How come there are only 83,000 survivors crossing the river?! "
The 800,000 zombies were like a tidal wave, unleashing wave after wave of attacks. Yue Zhong's troops had no choice but to give up position after position!!
It was truly tough, and all the soldiers were tired and sleepy. They had been engaged in a high-intensity battle for too long, and had not gotten a proper rest. They were humans, not robots, and could not maintain the intensity of the battle for long. If it wasn't for Yue Zhong being the commander, and their spirit and spirit on the frontlines, boosting their morale, they would have long since collapsed.
However, no matter how much Yue Zhong tried to boost their morale, it could not hide the fact that they were extremely tired. If this continued, they would not be able to hold on for long. The horde of zombies was simply too ferocious, and even on a rainy day, many of the barrels were shot red, before being scrapped. Many of the soldiers' shoulders were swollen from the continuous firing, and they were relying on their last breaths and willpower to hold on.
As long as the leader wasn't useless, the soldiers of China were the best, and had the strongest will to fight. Although Yue Zhong had his flaws, he was always on the frontlines, and there was nothing to be said about his subordinates. Furthermore, he had led his troops to victory after victory, and created miracles after miracles. Such a leader was someone that the soldiers were willing to die for!
On the other side, Guo Quan laughed bitterly: "Some people aren't willing to leave their homeland!"
The people of China were all nostalgic for their homeland, and were not willing to leave it. Especially on such a rainy day, the survivors were even more unwilling to move.
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with killing intent, as he spoke viciously: "Then let them die! Fuck!! Tell them about the zombies invading SY County. If they aren't willing to leave, I won't force them. Let them be buried with SY County! These bastards!! Guo Quan, I'll give you another 2 hours! In these 2 hours, however many people you can get through will be counted! After that, clear the path, and leave a path for the troops to retreat! Regardless of who it is, whoever dares to block my retreat path, kill them all! "
To Yue Zhong, the most important thing was his subordinates. Those loyal and devoted subordinates fought with him until the end because they trusted him. Everyone in this troop was already exhausted. Enduring for another 2 hours was the limit of this troop.
As for the remaining 50,000 survivors in SY County, even if they were added together, they would not be able to compare to his loyal subordinates.
"I got it, Captain Yue!! I promise to complete the mission!! "Guo Quan gritted his teeth, as he replied with determination.
The news of the zombies invading SY County quickly spread like wildfire. When they heard the news, those survivors who were hiding in their homes to avoid the rain were filled with shock. Thinking back to the people who had asked them to go to the other side of the bridge, they understood the urgency of the situation.
The survivors brought their raincoats, rations and other items as they rushed to the bridge in an attempt to cross. A large number of survivors rushed over, and there was no order in their actions, as they pushed and shoved each other in an attempt to cross the bridge. No one wanted to stay a minute longer in SY County, who knew, at the next moment, the zombies would rush over and tear them to shreds.
In the midst of the chaos, many people were pushed to the ground, and directly trampled into meat paste.
Xu Yang looked at the chaotic crowd and hollered: "Everyone get through in an orderly fashion, whoever dares to cut the queue will be executed on the spot!!"
At this time, due to the people pushing and shoving each other, it had caused the bridge to be congested. There was no way to cross the bridge.
No one cared about Xu Yang's shouts. The saying that the law does not punish the masses was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people. There were people everywhere, and they believed that they would not be punished.
"Open fire!!" Xu Yang looked at the crowd, and his face fell, as he finally hollered.
The light machine guns that were monitoring the bridge began to fire at the crowd.
Under that kind of fire, over a hundred people fell in pools of their own blood. That terrifying scene shocked the rest of the survivors, and they became obedient, as they looked at Xu Yang with fear in their eyes.
Xu Yang hollered: "If you want to cross the bridge, you better split into 3 groups. The kids stand on this side, the women on this side, and the men on this side. On the old man's side. Those who don't want to cross the bridge, scram as far as you can! Don't f * * king get in the way! "
Under Xu Yang's orders, the survivors followed his instructions and split into 3 groups.
Following that, under the surveillance of the soldiers of Ning Guang County's 3rd Battalion, the group of children left first, and made their way to the other side of the bridge.
Just as the survivors were moving, a few well-dressed men and women came up to Xu Yang. The leader was a fat middle-aged man with a slightly protruding belly, and he smiled at Xu Yang, as he handed a small bag to Xu Yang and said: "How do you do, Sir! I'm SY County's Trade and Industry Bureau Chief, Qu Bufan. You've worked hard, this is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it. "
Xu Yang opened the small bag and saw that it was filled with huge diamonds that were sparkling and translucent. If it was before the apocalypse, these diamonds would have been worth tens of millions of RMB.
Xu Yang asked coldly: "What are you trying to do?"
Qu Bufan pointed at the tall, fair-skinned, beautiful and coquettish woman next to him, and said to Xu Yang with a lascivious smile, "I hope you can make an exception and let us go first. As long as you let us cross first, she'll be your woman!! "
The woman also threw a flirtatious look at Xu Yang. Being able to become a Sir's woman, she wasn't dissatisfied. She wasn't the first, nor would she be the last, to rely on selling her body to survive in this apocalypse.
Xu Yang laughed coldly at Qu Bufan: "Men! "Arrest these people. Send the men to the Scum Battalion. Send the women to the Women's Battalion. "
A few soldiers immediately walked over, and brought Qu Bufan and his men away.
"Sir!! Sir!! "Qu Bufan's face was filled with fear as he screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
"Don't get any ideas! Otherwise, you'll end up like them! " Xu Yang stared coldly at the survivors like a cheetah, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze. (To be continued.
