The appearance of Tian Hu's 6,000 men had bought precious time for Yue Zhong's Special Combat Forces as well as the experts under Shen Hongyang to recover. To the Special Combat Forces and experts who had been through countless enhancements, an hour of rest was more than enough for them to recover their stamina.
Yue Zhong commanded the Special Combat Forces to fire at the zombies, stopping the advance of the horde. The main force of the Special Combat Forces continued to retreat.
Yue Zhong's Special Combat Forces had absorbed Liu Huifeng's experts as well as the remnants of Luo Tianyi's experts. Adding on the experts who had leveled up in this battle, their numbers had reached 72. Every single one of them was at least Level 20, and many had even broken through to Level 30 in this battle. Every single one of them had extraordinary combat prowess. However, the horde was too huge, and Yue Zhong could only lead the Special Combat Forces to retreat again and again. In the end, they retreated to the side of the river.
At this time, near the bridge, there were still many human heads, as a large number of female survivors filled up the entire bridge. In front of these female survivors were Tian Hu's 5,000 soldiers who had been through a bloody battle.
As time passed, the 14,000 cowardly male survivors became more and more anxious as the gunshots got closer. They could clearly sense that the horde was getting closer and closer.
"We want to cross the bridge!!! Make way!! We want to cross the bridge!! Everyone, fight it out with them!! "Amongst the crowd, one of the survivors suddenly shouted out loudly!!
"We want to cross the bridge!!"
"We want to cross the bridge!!"
"We want to live!!"
"Scram!! You damn warlords!! Bastards!! "
"… …"
The survivors were riled up, as they roared out in rage and charged towards Guo Quan.
Seeing the tens of thousands of survivors rushing over, Guo Quan hesitated for a moment, after all, that was a group of over ten thousand survivors. Although he was ferocious, he didn't want to become the executioner of his fellow humans!!
"Open fire!!" Right at this time, Yue Zhong's cold voice sounded out beside Guo Quan.
When Guo Quan heard that familiar voice, he did not hesitate to give the order: "Open fire!!"
At that moment, all sorts of heavy and heavy machine guns opened fire, and the unarmed survivors who had just rushed over were plowed through by the bullets, as they fell to the ground, moaning in pain.
Under the intimidation of the bloody scene, the survivors were either fleeing in panic, or begging for mercy, or crying out loud, not knowing what to do!
Yue Zhong looked at the survivors under the hail of bullets, and his eyes flashed with hesitation. Now was not the time to be soft-hearted, if things got messy, not only would these survivors die here, even his elite Special Combat Forces and Shen Hongyang's experts would be annihilated.
Yue Zhong didn't bother with the fleeing survivors, instead, he grabbed the megaphone and shouted coldly: "You guys are the last batch of survivors, if you dare to cross the bridge, you will be killed without mercy! There are weapons here. If you want to live, pick up your weapons and fight for yourself. If you don't have the guts, then just wait for death! "
After that, Yue Zhong waved the megaphone and walked towards the battlefield. Fighting to the last moment and covering the retreat of the main force was the only thing he could do now. Here, even if he had one more person, he wouldn't be able to do much.
"You guys retreat! I'll cover you guys!! "The moment he returned to the battlefield, Yue Zhong ordered Xu Xiao and Ji Qingwu.
Hearing Yue Zhong's words, Xu Xiao's eyes flashed with respect. Covering the rear was the most dangerous thing to do, and it was rare for a leader to take the initiative to cover the rear. To be able to serve such a leader, he felt extremely fortunate. He saluted Yue Zhong, and quickly led his men to leave the frontlines.
Ji Qingwu looked at Yue Zhong and gritted her teeth: "Are you alone? No way! I want to stay behind with you!! "
Yue Zhong frowned and replied in a low voice: "No way! How can I escape from here by myself? Not with you! Listen to me!! "
Ji Qingwu stared at Yue Zhong stubbornly: "I don't want to!! I have the strength to protect myself! "
Yue Zhong directly used the name of righteousness to suppress her: "No way! It's too dangerous!! Go back, this is an order! You're the commander of the Special Combat Forces! You're shouldering the lives of the entire battalion! "
Ji Qingwu was the same as Yue Zhong, she had also gone through many battles, and her body was exhausted. It could be said that there wasn't a single soldier in the Special Combat Forces that wasn't fatigued, and the ones who were the most tired were Ji Qingwu and Yue Zhong who hadn't had much rest. With Ji Qingwu's current state, if she wasn't careful, she could really fall.
"Fine! I'll listen to you! But you have to promise me! You have to come back!! " Ji Qingwu was after all a girl who cared about the bigger picture, and she suppressed her longing for Yue Zhong, before turning to leave.
Yue Zhong looked at Ji Qingwu's disappearing figure, and took a deep breath, before walking out with White Bones.
The roads leading to the bridge had already been blocked by Yue Zhong's men, and there was only one main road that led to the bridge. The rest of the zombies would need at least 10 minutes to break through. That meant that Yue Zhong and White Bones had to stay on the main road and snipe the zombies for a few minutes.
The moment the Special Combat Forces and the experts retreated, the 200 zombies immediately swarmed towards Yue Zhong. If it wasn't for the narrow main road, the number of zombies would have been even higher.
White Bones' bone blades extended from its hands, turning into 2 huge bone blades that seemed to envelop the entire street. It waved with all its might, and the sharp bone blades sliced through the narrow street, slicing over 50 ordinary zombies in two.
After gaining 4 skill points, White Bones finally displayed its ferocious might. It waved its huge bone blades, and was like a meat grinder as it slaughtered the zombies. Even the L1s and L2s could not withstand the continuous evolution of White Bones, as it gained the [Sharpness] skill.
"Awesome!!" Yue Zhong had thought that it would be a tough battle, but he saw White Bones waving its bone blades about in a frenzy, killing the zombies. Only then did he understand how ferocious his Special Skeletons had become after gaining 4 skill points.
It could be said that just White Bones alone was enough to deal with over 2,000 zombies.
Under such frenzied attacks, White Bones' Stamina was constantly being depleted. When White Bones' Stamina reached zero, it could not use any skills. The stronger the ability, the more energy it required, this was an unchanging rule.
When White Bones' Stamina reached 10 points, Yue Zhong immediately chose to let White Bones retreat, and then let out a loud roar towards the sky.
Following Yue Zhong's loud roar, Greenie flapped its wings and flew over from the horizon.
Greenie flew over the area, and immediately activated its [Wind Ability]. Following the continuous flapping of its wings, a series of extremely sharp wind blades appeared out of thin air, slicing towards the zombies below.
Under the bombardment of the extremely sharp wind blades, a large number of zombies were directly sliced in two. At the same time, the huge force of the wind blades caused a deep trench in the ground.
After Greenie released a few waves of wind blades, it immediately flew away without Yue Zhong's absolute order. Without Yue Zhong's absolute command, it was not willing to expend its own [Wind Ability] to attack the enemy.
Many of these high level Mutant Beasts had a special [Wind Ability]. Just using it once would consume a large amount of their energy. Hence, unless it was a last resort, or if they met a terrifying enemy, they would not use their [Wind Ability] to attack.
After Greenie flew away, Yue Zhong also retreated explosively, as he took out his .05 submachine gun and fired wildly at the zombies, while making a mad dash towards the direction of the bridge.
At this time, near the bridge, only Guo Quan's Ning Guang County's First Battalion and the 12,000 survivors were left in a standoff.
"I beg you!! Master Bing, let me go over!! I'm willing to do anything for you!! "
"I beg you, let me go over!! I'm willing to do anything to repay you!! "
"Isn't the existence of the military to protect the people!! Please!! Let us go over!! "
"… …"
A large number of survivors were kneeling on the ground, as they pleaded with Guo Quan. The bridge was their only way out. With the passing of time, death was getting closer and closer.
Apart from a few hundred survivors who took the weapons, the rest of the survivors didn't even bother to look at them. These cowards only wanted to cross the bridge, and did not have the courage to fight the zombies.
Yue Zhong glanced at the weak survivors, before ordering Guo Quan, "Guo Quan! Bring the men and retreat first!! Let them fend for themselves! "
"Yes! Commander! " Guo Quan saluted Yue Zhong, before leading the soldiers of the Ning Guang County's First Battalion towards the direction of the bridge in an orderly manner.
Without the suppression of Guo Quan's First Battalion, the survivors immediately fought to be the first to make their way towards the bridge.
Without anyone to maintain order, the survivors went crazy, and the weaker ones were pushed to the ground. In order to fight for a place to escape, some of the nearby people even used their blades to kill each other. In an instant, the over 10,000 survivors were thrown into a state of chaos. They did not dare to kill the zombies, but they were merciless in killing each other.
Seeing this tragic scene, Yue Zhong frowned, and sighed deeply. He had already done his best, but he really did not have the strength to save these 10,000 survivors.
Right at this time, the huge horde of zombies broke through all the obstacles, and made their way towards the chaotic survivors.
"Ah!!!" Seeing the terrifying horde of zombies, one of the survivors screamed out in fear, before jumping into the river in an attempt to swim across. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
