The city gate could not be defended?
Xiang Xuehai was stunned.
In the post-apocalyptic world where zombies and mutated beasts roamed, the difficulty of building a foundation was not something an ordinary person could imagine.
After controlling Wu Shui County step by step, in order to keep the foundation, Xiang Xuehai had put a lot of effort on the defense system.
Building the city walls and gates had consumed a lot of materials and labor.
In Xiang Xuehai's heart, the city gate was an important defense to protect Wu Shui County, and it also gave her a great sense of security.
Now that Jiang Liushi said that the city gate could not be defended, Xiang Xuehai felt sad.
But reason told her that Jiang Liushi's judgment was right.
Not only the huge balloon-like water monster outside, but also the slowly spreading flood.
As long as it continued to soak, the foundation of the city wall would be washed away and collapse sooner or later.
Once the city wall collapsed, the zombies floating from the water, as well as the unpredictable water monster …
Xiang Xuehai looked outside the carriage and saw the low shacks temporarily built along the city wall. In the shacks, the thin survivors were lying or sitting to avoid the heavy rain.
There were more than a hundred of these shacks at a glance. They were densely packed together, and all of them were packed with people.
Before, the foreign survivors, such as Old Qiu, did not care about ordinary people, so naturally, they would not evacuate them.
But thinking of the consequences, Xiang Xuehai could not help but shiver.
"Luo Junjiang, quickly send people and call all the people to move to higher ground! Tell them that the area around the city wall will be very dangerous! "Xiang Xuehai got out of the carriage and said to Luo Junjiang seriously.
Wu Shui County was a county built on a mountain.
At the base of the city wall, the water had now reached the instep of the feet.
Xiang Xuehai's words were like an imperial edict to Luo Junjiang.
He hurriedly led a group of guards to evacuate the survivors in the shacks.
At that moment, a loud bang sounded.
The entire city wall trembled, and large pieces of gravel splashed.
The city gate seemed to be hit by a huge hammer, and a dark tentacle of eight or nine meters long slammed heavily on the iron gate.
A large piece of the gate suddenly protruded, and the entire iron gate was also shaking. It was afraid that it would not be able to support if it was hit again.
This deafening sound made the ordinary survivors who had just escaped into the city not long ago change their expressions.
Jiji-
A strange, drawn-out grunt came from outside the city walls.
From above the city wall, the balloon-like giant water monster, supported by eight long tentacles, poked its head out from the 20-meter-high city wall.
Its pair of triangular eyes flashed with a cold light as it stared at the people inside the city wall.
Being stared at by the hill-like water monster, the survivors of Wu Shui County suddenly panicked.
Even Jiang Liushi, who was in the MCV, felt an inexplicable pressure.
In the post-apocalyptic world, regardless of whether it was zombies or mutated beasts, they were all extremely aggressive towards humans. These monsters in the water were also the same.
There were also a few guards on the city wall who were observing the situation outside.
At this moment, they wanted to escape, but a long tongue came out of the big water monster's mouth.
The long tongue, which was covered in thorns, swept across the city wall, creating a series of scratching sounds as it swept across the city wall, wrapping around the city guards one after another.
The city guards screamed and tried their best to resist, but they were covered by the mucus on the long tongues. Soon, their heads drooped and they didn't make a sound.
Now, without Luo Junjiang's call, many survivors knew what to do.
Many people rushed to higher places in Wu Shui County.
"This water monster is poisonous!"
Jiang Liushi's MCV had already started, following the crowd to higher places.
Jiang Liushi's eyesight was better than others, so he had already entered the gunner room on the top of the MCV.
The big water monster's tongue was covered with sticky liquid, which made the city guards stiff and motionless. They had no ability to resist at all.
The same was true for the mutant zombie. It gradually lost its strength after being stained by the mucus on the tentacles.
"That thing seems to be a mutant pufferfish." Sun Changxin, the old water conservancy expert, was at the rear of the MCV, looking at the water monster through the rear window.
"Yes, some of its physiological characteristics are very consistent with the appearance of a pufferfish …" The old professor observed the appearance of the water monster and nodded.
"Well, its belly is white, and its body can expand like an air sac. Its mouth is short, and its mouth is small and transverse … It really looks like a pufferfish." Li Yuxin nodded.
Sun Changxin was a water conservancy expert. There were pufferfish in the waters of northern Jiangsu. When he explored the hydrological conditions, he had seen many pufferfish.
Li Yuxin was a medical student, so she had read a lot of books, so she knew about the pufferfish's toxin.
After carefully comparing the characteristics of the big water monster, they all felt that it was very similar to a pufferfish.
Tetrodotoxin was a strong neurotoxin, which could cause nerve paralysis, vomiting, chills in the limbs, and then stop the heartbeat and breathing. Its toxicity was equivalent to highly toxic drugs, 1250 times that of sodium cyanide. Less than 0.5 mg was enough to kill people.
After the mutation, the water monster's toxin would only be stronger.
"Mutant pufferfish? No wonder its mucus is highly toxic. Its eight tentacles and scales seem to be mutated. "Jiang Liushi frowned.
Such a water monster was much more dangerous than ordinary water monsters. First of all, they had to face its mucus.
At that moment, after swallowing several city guards, the mutant pufferfish was obviously not satisfied. Its eight tentacles attacked the city gate.
'Bang! '
The iron gate had not been smashed, but the connection with the city wall had begun to loosen.
Almost all the survivors of Wu Shui County, including women holding children and old people with crutches, rushed to higher places at this moment.
Half an hour later, most of the survivors had already reached the halfway point of the mountain.
The terrain of Wu Shui County was relatively gentle. Halfway up the hillside, it was only a dozen meters higher than the base of the city wall.
However, halfway up the hillside to the top, the terrain became steep.
At that point, many survivors had no strength and were paralyzed in the mud.
'Boom! '
Suddenly, an earth-shattering collapse sound came from the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Liushi followed the sound and saw that the iron gate had collapsed, and large sections of the city wall on both sides had been swept away.
The mutant pufferfish's huge body was completely exposed in front of everyone.
Its snow-white belly was bulging, and only a small part was still in the water. Its huge body was bulging like a ball under the support of its tentacles.
A few of its tentacles swept towards the shore unwillingly. Some of the shacks' wooden splinters were sent flying, unable to withstand a single blow.
Seeing this scene, some survivors who had lived in the shacks were shivering. If they had left a little later, they would have ended up like those sawdust.
"Oh, I'm so scared." Among the survivors, a child's cry sounded.
"What should we do? Some of my food is still in the shack. I have nothing to eat. I will starve to death. "
"We can't beat this water monster at all. Are we going to starve to death here? Why don't we escape? There is no flood in the north … "
The cries of children, the wails of adults, and the whispers of discussions could be heard among the ordinary survivors.
People's hearts fluttered.
Originally, many people fled to Wu Shui County because the order there was good. It was a paradise near the northern part of Jiangsu.
Now, the paradise was about to become a hell on earth, and many people felt desperate.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. The monster can't go ashore."
At that moment, a clear voice sounded above everyone.
The person who spoke was Xiang Xuehai. She stood on the roof of a three-story building on the hillside next to the MCV.
The view there was open, and everyone could see her appearance.
Xiang Xuehai's voice, under the effect of her special ability, was very clear in the wind and rain, covering a lot of crying and whispering.
Hearing her words, everyone looked at the mutant pufferfish at the city gate.
Sure enough, the huge mutant pufferfish did not go ashore.
Its long tentacles swept across the huts in vain, its huge triangular eyes staring at the densely packed survivors halfway up the mountain, as it hissed and screeched.
Obviously, although it had mutated, it still couldn't get rid of the nature of a fish and could not go ashore.
The survivors breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, be quiet. I am Xiang Xuehai! Now that we are facing a flood, I hope you don't panic and cheer up. Collect all the food, wood, blankets, clothes … We will temporarily camp here on the hillside. Believe me, as long as I am here, Wu Shui County will not be attacked by zombies and water monsters. We will build a steel wall here. As long as everyone is united, we will survive! "
Xiang Xuehai's words were sonorous and powerful. She didn't say too many beautiful words, but the sincerity in her words could be felt.
Many survivors gradually calmed down from their restless thoughts.
They looked at Xiang Xuehai in the wind and rain and whispered.
"Those paranormals can escape, but how can ordinary people like us escape? Walking hundreds of miles in the heavy rain? Just walking is not a big deal. Where are the zombies in the flooded areas? I guess they have gone to those places that have not been flooded! "
"Yes, if we escape, we will have to pass through the dense zombie groups. How can we escape?"
"Boss Xiang has the ability to escape, but she didn't. Instead, she followed us … What else can we say?"
Those ordinary survivors were very weak, and their thoughts were very simple. They just wanted to survive. As a strong person, Xiang Xuehai had fought side by side with them in dangerous situations, which gave them a sense of trust in her.
Jiang Liushi was also looking at Xiang Xuehai from afar.
In the storm, the woman was standing on the roof, trying to spread her voice, and cheering for a group of survivors. Her face was full of strange brilliance.
"Boss Xiang is really a good person," Sun Changxin, the old water conservancy expert, suddenly said. Compared with Yang Feng, Xiang Xuehai was too kind-hearted. If it were Yang Feng, how could he care about the lives of ordinary people?
All the members of the Shi Ying Squad agreed with him.
"But it's useless. The Fuyang River's embankment broke, and the nearby Shuangliu River and Yan River will also break. At that time, the flood will rise sharply. We are hiding in a high place. Even if the flood can't drown people, so many people will die without food. It's useless. Although we are strong, we still can't beat God! "
"It's the damned heavens that want us to die!" Sun Changxin, the old man, said angrily as he looked at the dark sky outside the window.
Everyone in the carriage was silent for a while.
Hearing that, Jiang Liushi's mood was unusually heavy.
Sun Changxin was an old water conservancy expert, so his judgment was very reliable.
However, if the flood continued to rise sharply, the mutant pufferfish lurking in the water would have the opportunity to attack Wu Shui County's people halfway up the mountain.
It was absolutely dangerous there, not to mention how many water monsters there were underwater.
As long as the mutant pufferfish was there, there was no way to search for food near the city gate.
Even Xiang Xuehai's warehouse was difficult to get close to.
Their retreat was too urgent, so they had no time to prepare.
The flood would not last for too long, and the water monsters would recede with the flood. However, during this period of time, so many people would starve in the rain. Soon, some people would get sick and die, and the situation would only get worse quickly.
For a moment, Jiang Liushi wanted to leave Wu Shui County.
After all, in the north, there was no flood.
Now that the mutant pufferfish had targeted the survivors in Wu Shui County, it would certainly not leave the flooded area.
It was very dangerous for Shi Ying Squad to stay there.
"Alas, if there were no mutant pufferfish, I could think of a lot of ways. However, with those mutant pufferfish, it's difficult for Wu Shui County's people to move." Sun Changxin sighed.
In this world, it was too difficult for ordinary people to survive.
"Brother Jiang, Kuang Zhongyuan's mental fluctuations are abnormal. He seems to be threatening his companions. It seems that he wants to escape," Ran Xiyu suddenly said.
Jiang Liushi's heart moved, but he noticed that Ran Xiyu's face was very bad.
Ran Xiyu looked very tired.
From the confrontation with Old Qiu to the moment when the minibus rushed to the hillside, Ran Xiyu's mental detection ability had never stopped.
For her, it was a great consumption. Previously, when dealing with Yang Feng, she had overdrawn her mental power, but because of Li Yuxin's medical ability, she had recovered a lot.
However, it was still not suitable for her to use her ability for a long time.
"Xiyu, don't worry about Kuang Zhongyuan. You should rest for a while. Let Yuxin treat you, "Jiang Liushi noticed Ran Xiyu's tired face and said with concern.
"Okay." Ran Xiyu looked at Jiang Liushi deeply and didn't refuse.
She knew that her ability was very important to Jiang Liushi and the whole Shi Ying Squad.
Therefore, she needed to allocate her strength reasonably and not overdraft it.
She faintly felt that the moment when she was needed the most had not yet arrived.
Therefore, she had to maintain an excellent state.
Li Yuxin came to Ran Xiyu and began to check her …
When Ran Xiyu closed her eyes, Jiang Liushi's eyes moved to Kuang Zhongyuan, who was hidden in the crowd.
At the moment, Kuang Zhongyuan was staring at five or six paranormals fiercely and shouting something in a low voice.
Several paranormals seemed to be quite shaken, and some of them disagreed with Kuang Zhongyuan's words.
Kuang Zhongyuan pointed at the boundless flood as he shouted.
The storm drowned out his words.
However, Jiang Liushi could vaguely judge that Kuang Zhongyuan was probably scared by the mutant pufferfish and wanted to escape.
Moreover, Kuang Zhongyuan didn't want to escape alone, but he also wanted to escape with a group of paranormals.
After all, in this world, a person's strength was negligible. Only a group of paranormals could survive.
"Do you think you can escape?"
Jiang Liushi stared at Kuang Zhongyuan and sneered.
Jiang Liushi had wanted to kill Kuang Zhongyuan since the beginning.
Later, Kuang Zhongyuan was shocked by the MCV's Air Cannon and killed the seriously injured Old Qiu. Then, he tried to please Jiang Liushi and Xiang Xuehai again and again.
Jiang Liushi didn't expect that Kuang Zhongyuan would betray them again so soon.
Now, every paranormal was very important to Wu Shui County. Jiang Liushi would be the first to oppose Kuang Zhongyuan's decision.
Jiang Liushi aimed at Kuang Zhongyuan's head with his Type 81 Automatic Rifle.
At that moment, a sudden change occurred.
Two paranormals behind Kuang Zhongyuan suddenly swelled their fists' muscles and smashed at Kuang Zhongyuan's head like a hammer.
The other one slashed at Kuang Zhongyuan's legs with his long knife.
Kuang Zhongyuan was caught off guard and was immediately hit hard!
As soon as the bloody light appeared, the four paranormals who had been scolded by Kuang Zhongyuan reacted and used their abilities one after another …
In a few breaths, Kuang Zhongyuan was chopped into pieces!
Then, one of the paranormals rushed out of the shed and rushed to the three-story building where Xiang Xuehai was.
Jiang Liushi was stunned by that scene, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Not long ago, Kuang Zhongyuan had betrayed Old Qiu and tried to use Old Qiu's body as a token of loyalty.
