District 43 Defense War! (Fifth update, big explosion, seeking red and collection!)
As the mist dispersed, everyone's field of vision finally cleared up again, but what they saw in front of them made their faces change color.
"Everyone get ready and proceed with the original plan!"
Looking at the corpse group spreading like a black ocean from the distant street, Murong Yu clenched his teeth and took a deep breath. This time, the number of corpses was almost five times more than last time, and at a glance, there were probably no less than 10,000. And facing these 10,000 corpses, even if they had made some preparations, they would likely pay a great price.
Moreover, the larger the scale of the zombie crowd, the fewer scattered survivors there are in the city, otherwise such a large zombie crowd would not have gathered.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Murong Yu's command, the survivors on the defensive fortifications gripped their steel-reinforced spears tightly and became vigilant with tense faces. These people were all survivors who had undergone strengthening one or two times but had relatively poor overall quality, so they were assigned to defend the safer defensive fortifications. The elite like Zhang Han, on the other hand, stayed inside the residential area, ready to lure away small groups of zombies at any time and carry out high-risk hunting operations.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The zombies' sense of smell was extremely keen, and the life breath emitted by thousands of people gathered together was simply an irresistible temptation for them. Accompanied by a burst of howling, the sea-like zombie crowd suddenly accelerated, pushing and colliding with each other, rushing towards the residential area at a speed no slower than that of ordinary people running.
Boom!
However, before the zombies crashed into the wall, the ground next to the wall suddenly collapsed. With the help of the community's excavator, the self-rescue team had already dug a ring-shaped pit about five meters wide and five meters deep around the community. Although this deep pit could not completely block the zombie crowd, it could effectively slow down their advance.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Faced with the sudden appearance of a deep pit in front of them, the zombies who had completely lost their minds to hunger didn't stop for a moment, and they all fell into the pit at an extremely fast speed. Then, amidst the dense crashing sounds, they heavily crashed onto the bottom of the pit. However, the area of the deep pit was ultimately limited, and compared to the zombie horde with tens of thousands of zombies, it was like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water - it couldn't change the overall situation.
The hordes of corpses surged forward, and the pit at the entrance of the residential area was filled to capacity in less than a minute. Then, amidst the dull thuds of bones and flesh being trampled into mud, large numbers of zombies began to tread on the road paved by their own kind, heavily colliding with the surrounding walls before tearing them apart with great force.
Compared to the hard concrete walls, the zombies' claws and teeth were too fragile. Their ferocious tearing could not break through the fence's shackles, only making themselves skin torn and flesh burst in a miserable state. However, the most terrifying thing about zombies is that they are fearless of death and never tire. The community wall was only four meters high after reinforcement, and this height can be climbed with just a few stacked zombies.
As time passed, the number of zombies outside the wall of the residential area also increased. Under the temptation of food, the zombies showed amazing tenacity and physical strength, and they began to trample on the bodies of their own kind in an attempt to climb over the wall. Although most of the zombies fell to the ground during the climbing process due to lack of organization, after countless attempts, some zombies finally managed to place their hands on top of the wall by stepping on the almost mashed bodies of their own kind.
Hmph!
Just as the zombie was climbing up with its hands on the wall, a rusty iron pipe with a sharp end pierced through its skull. Along with a faint sound, the zombie's head was instantly penetrated like a watermelon cut by a sharp blade, and then its body trembled slightly before falling heavily back into the crowd of corpses with its shattered skull and brain matter.
The zombies that fell back into the zombie horde quickly became stepping stones for other zombies. Under the pile of several zombie corpses, more and more zombies climbed up with their hands grasping the wall, then made a desperate effort to climb up.
"Get moving!"
As the zombies began to climb up the wall under the absolute number of piles, Mu Rongyu, who was in charge of the overall command, finally gave a cold order. Suddenly, the survivors standing on the wall raised their steel pipes and iron thorns, and began to fiercely stab at the zombies' bodies.
Along with the dense sound of blades piercing flesh, the first wave of zombies that had their hands on the wall were easily slaughtered by the survivors on the wall from a position of superiority. However, the death of these dozens of zombies was only a drop in the bucket for the entire zombie horde, and the dead zombies also became stepping stones for other zombies. Amidst the eerie sound of bones and flesh being trampled into mud, more and more zombies put their hands on the wall and began to climb up quickly.
"Go die!"
On the wall, a middle-aged man of about forty years old slammed the iron rod in his hand heavily on a zombie. Suddenly, amidst the dull sound of shattered bones and flesh, the zombie's skull burst open like an egg dropped to the ground. Looking at the zombie with its skull burst open and falling back down from the wall, a strange excitement appeared on the middle-aged man's face. This one-sided slaughter of zombies was really too exciting.
However, the middle-aged man who was obsessed with killing did not realize that as he continued to kill zombies, he was also getting closer and closer to the edge of the wall. Before he could even catch his breath to deal with another zombie, a hand covered in wounds and pus suddenly stretched out from under the wall and grabbed his foot tightly.
"No!"
The middle-aged man was caught by the ankle of a zombie, instantly lost his balance, and then in a heart-wrenching scream, he was pulled down from the wall by the zombie's powerful hand. Finally, countless zombies rushed up and tore the middle-aged man into countless pieces of flesh stained with blood, and they began to tear and devour them.
Less than nine minutes after encountering a horde of zombies, humanity suffered its first casualty!
After tasting the blood, the corpse group under the wall became more and more crazy. For them, the continuous death of their own kind can only give them more stepping stones, but it will not bring them a little fear. But for humans on the wall, it's different. The death of their own kind and the zombies' crazy attack made many people feel fearful and timid. Their hands holding weapons became powerless, their feet standing on the wall began to tremble slightly, and even the most severe ones almost lost the strength to stand up.
The direct consequence of this is that more and more people are being dragged down by zombies, while more and more zombies start climbing over the wall and engaging in fierce battles with humans.
"They need to disperse their pressure..."
Watching the zombies climb over the wall and engage in fierce battle with humans, Ah Yin slightly furrowed his brow and said: "The saying 'a single misstep can lead to endless troubles' is indeed true. It's just beginning and many people's minds have already been completely intimidated by the zombies. If we don't think of a way to boost morale, I'm afraid it won't be long before the defensive line around the wall collapses completely."
"It's time for us to take action."
Upon hearing the words, Zhou Feng nodded and then turned to face the two hundred robust men behind him: "We are the key to this battle, whether the camp can be defended depends on us, brothers, let's move!"
After that, Zhou Feng led the elite team headed by Zhang Han and others to rush towards a wall with fewer zombies. There, the self-help association had already set up a secret door, and as long as they opened it, they could lead the zombies into the camp for battle.
Wow!
With a light sound, the iron gate on the surrounding wall was opened violently by Zhou Feng. At the same time, the * in Zhou Feng's hand also heavily chopped down on a zombie that was constantly climbing the wall next to the iron gate. Under Zhou Feng's great strength, the snow-bright blade directly cut the zombie in half, and the foul internal organs and corpse blood suddenly gushed out, making the corpse smell in the air even more intense.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At the same time, Zhou Feng also fired three shots in a row, exploding the heads of three nearby zombies, and then turned to Zhang Han and said, "Let's get started!"
"Ah!"
Upon hearing Zhou Feng's words, Zhang Han nodded and without hesitation pulled out a dagger from his waist and made a light slash on his left arm. Instantly, a streak of blood shot out from Zhang Han's left arm, adding a sweet and bloody smell to the air filled with the pungent stench of death.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
To the zombies, the smell of blood was like a dinner bell, and upon catching wind of the scent so close at hand, the hordes of undead ceased their climb up the walls and charged towards Zhou Feng and company with thunderous roars.
