Chapter 36 The Spring Offensive and Attrition of the Ghoul
Chapter 36 The Ghoul’s Spring Offensive and Attrition
The division commander's staff officer had long coveted the Broken Steel Bar's ability to make money. After giving Tang Zheng 20% of the supplies, he completely occupied it on the grounds of disturbing public order. After a facelift, he reopened it, even the dance floor.
There was no time to clean up the blood on it.
However, the wasteland adventurers have become much more stable in the past few days and are waiting for the situation to stabilize. Who knows whether Captain Tang Zheng will go crazy because of being robbed of his trophies. That guy doesn't look like he is afraid of the leader of the Iron Council.
, so the staff officer who was ambitious to make a fortune suffered a tragedy.
The young soldiers were filled with indignation. After getting Tang Zheng's order not to go to the bar to have sex, they still refused to give in. They would go to the place every night in the dead of night.
It is so dirty every day that pedestrians have to take a detour.
20% of the supplies were worth 6,000 bottle caps, which made Tang Zheng very satisfied. It was enough for him to squeeze into the third floor, but he still chose the second-floor cave dwelling.
This made Tang Zheng's reputation even higher. He thought he liked to share the joys and sorrows with the members, so the wasteland people who came to inquire about joining the group were like crucian carp crossing the river.
Early the next morning, noisy and noisy sounds started early, and there were wastelanders everywhere who were ready to go. They were part-time soldiers recruited by the council to deal with the ghouls who had entered the hunting period.
"Captain, if you set out early, you will be able to meet the ghouls earlier. Otherwise, you will be robbed by others, and you will have to hunt far away from the gathering place. It is very dangerous." The captain of the young soldiers stood respectfully beside Tang Zheng, very surprised.
Tell him with a wink the reason why the Wastelanders got up early.
At this moment, there were one hundred and twenty fifteen or sixteen-year-old children on both sides of the street. They were all Tang Zheng's subordinates. They had snatched away the Steel Mercenary Group. Tang Zheng also had enough firearms to arm them. In fact, he sold them and their magazines.
It was enough for Tang Zheng to collect 10,000 nuclear bottle caps and go home. But after seeing the four tasks on the bookstore notice board, Tang Zheng was ready to play a big one.
"Get up, get up quickly and line up." The six captains kept running on the streets, roaring loudly and kicking those bastards who were still sleeping with their arms folded.
Most of the people in the room were still asleep. Even if they were wrapped in blankets, they felt cold, and they kept cursing while talking in their sleep.
"Li Meilian and Liu Yue, distribute the food to the young soldiers." With the helper, Tang Zheng would not do it himself, while Lu Fan would inspect the children's physical condition.
Although it was just a piece of bread, the young soldier was already bursting with gratitude. In the wasteland, only the upper class men could eat breakfast.
"Eat all, don't stay. There will be more at noon." Seeing some children stuffing food into their arms, Lu Fan quickly stopped them. He had no strength to fight.
"Captain, we are here." Old Paul arrived. In addition to the four old subordinates, there were more than 20 wastelanders. When they saw the young soldiers eating bread again, their eyeballs almost exploded.
The streets of time were filled with the sounds of their envious swallowing of saliva.
"The treatment is really good." A wasteland man tugged on Old Paul's sleeve and asked him to speak quickly.
"Captain, they want to follow you." Old Paul nodded, swallowed, and said, "They are all my friends and I can definitely trust them."
"If you run away or act cunning during the fight, I will beat you to death, okay?" After receiving a positive answer, Tang Zheng asked Li Meilian to give them a piece of food.
The twenty-odd wastelanders immediately straightened their backs and became arrogant, as if they felt they were superior to others.
"Captain, can you give me a weapon? My gun is too broken." A wastelander stuffed his mouth full of food, looked at the weapons in the children's hands, and his eyes were filled with excitement. He came closer to Tang Zheng and asked with a playful smile.
.
"Team one." Tang Zheng had just shouted two words, and the young soldiers had already stood up in unison, pointing their guns at this guy. The four closest children rushed over and kicked him hard on the knees.
The slippery guy fell to his knees with a plop. Just as he was about to quibble, two gun butts hit his mouth, and he spat out blood mixed with broken teeth.
"If you want to push further, if you want weapons, then you have to trade with your performance." Tang Zheng glanced at the wasteland people fiercely, then looked at Old Paul, "I will give you face, but you will let me down."
Old Paul laughed along with him, then turned around and glared at these people. They were too clueless to advance or retreat. There was no other way. They had lived in the wasteland for a long time, and they were always trying to take advantage.
Half an hour later, Tang Zheng led the team to set off. On the second floor, they met Gao Wei, who had been waiting there for a long time.
"What? That kid doesn't want to join the group?" Tang Zheng noticed that the corners of Lao Gao's eyes were a little green and asked, "You won't have a fight, right?"
"That bastard is so obsessed with the two female models next to him that he doesn't even listen to my words." Lao Gao sighed, "I made you laugh."
"The models came back because they failed in the competition for favor." Qin Yan walked to Tang Zheng, "During this period, the female models had conflicts, and another one passed by. Later, they couldn't survive, so they came back again."
"That boy knows how to enjoy it, fly together!" Gao Yu muttered, but the two female models who left were not good-looking, and he was not envious. He was just depressed when he saw that Qin Yan seemed to like Tang Zheng.
"Let's go, it's getting late." Tang Zheng didn't care. What he valued was Lao Gao's experience, not that little soldier.
After leaving the subway station, Tang Zheng drove the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle back, which immediately caused a cry of exclamation. Looking at the tracked armored vehicle driving on the snow, everyone felt that this journey would be safe.
Naturally, those who are qualified to enter the car are important people. In order to gain goodwill, Lao Paul and the captain of the young soldiers were also allowed to enter. Liu Yue got a seat because of her good shooting skills. Other female models, including the most beautiful Li Meilian, only
Although they were dissatisfied with being able to walk, they did not dare to object.
The roar of the diesel engine disrupted the silence of Moscow, and strings of gray exhaust gas floated into the sky, making the city look dilapidated and deserted.
If they walked on foot, it would take nearly forty minutes to reach Red Square, and it was not smooth sailing. Ten minutes after walking out, they encountered the first wave of ghouls.
These monsters are humans who mutated after being exposed to radiation. After more than ten generations of reproduction, they have almost lost their human characteristics. They are short and skinny, with a terrifying appearance of skin and bones. They crawl on all fours and have evolved sharp claws, and even
It can be embedded into smooth cement walls and move flexibly like a gecko.
They don't have any hair on their bodies. On their bald heads are a pair of large eyeballs that can see at night and take up one-third of the entire face. They are full of bloodshot eyes. The most eye-catching thing is their teeth, which look like wild beasts.
Just as sharp.
"Be careful with their claws and fangs, they can easily tear open your throats and flesh, and bleed your blood." The infantry fighting vehicle stopped, and Old Paul quickly got out, shouting loudly, "Give me
The female models were filling in their knowledge about ghouls, and he could tell the women were frightened.
Seeing those terrifying ghouls rushing towards them with ferocious faces, six female models were so wet that they peed in fear. They even forgot to fight back with guns. Their first reaction was to run towards the infantry fighting vehicle.
That Liu Qian even cried loudly, asking Tang Zheng to let her in.
Li Meilian and Han Mei next to her were trembling non-stop, unable to hold the firearms steadily. When they picked them up, they found that the bolt was not pulled, and they were sweating profusely.
The young soldiers were much calmer. No one was afraid. They just tightened their formation. The outermost ones took a crouching position with guns and started shooting. The ones in the center were on guard. Only when the ghoul broke into twenty meters
The gun will be fired only after reaching a dangerous distance.
The adaptability of these children living in the wasteland is terrifying. However, after listening to Old Paul explaining how to use firearms and firing a few rounds of bullets, they actually learned how to use them.
In total, there were more than twenty ghouls, and half of them had been killed after rushing into a range of fifty meters.
"It's our turn." Sholokhov warned, raised his SVD sniper rifle, took quick aim, and shot down a ghoul.
"But what about the bullets?" There was a wastelander who was unwilling to waste bullets and planned to ask Tang Zheng for some before joining the battle.
Knowing Tang Zheng's generosity, Gregory and Pavel started shooting without any hesitation. The other wastelanders looked at each other and joined the attack. Their marksmanship was obviously not comparable to that of the young soldiers, and they quickly killed this man.
Catch the ghouls.
"Give one to whoever shoots." Tang Zheng half-body jumped out of the armored vehicle and threw a pack of cigarettes to Sholokhov. "Shoot as many bullets as you want. I'll go back and supply you."
"Thank you, captain." Sholokhov quickly caught him and dispersed his companions. Those who didn't shoot became jealous and secretly said that they would take the initiative to attack next time.
"Don't help them. If you can't hold on, just wait for death." The team set off again. The young soldier found that there were three female models who were so scared that they couldn't walk. He went to help them, but Tang Zheng stopped them.
The female models pouted their lips and cursed Tang Zheng in their stomachs for being cold-blooded.
After annihilating three waves of ghouls along the way, Tang Zheng and others also arrived at the Red Square. Standing on the road used for the Russian military parade, Gao Wei's face was filled with excitement. Lu Fan took out a DV and recorded it for everyone.
A video.
"Shout hurrah!" Lu Fan asked the young soldiers to pose in several poses and had a great time.
Tang Zheng held a telescope and observed the Kremlin complex in the distance. This once famous eighth wonder had become dilapidated. A small part of it collapsed and became ruins. They were covered with white snow and were cold and silent.
"Is that where the Russian president has his office?" Gao Wei asked Gao Yu's telescope to look for the tallest building nearby.
"Stop playing and let's go." Tang Zheng glanced at the Geiger counter. The radiation value was at a safe value.
"This is the capital, and it has been bombed. Was it an intercontinental missile or a bomber?" Lu Fan stood on the chariot, taking pictures of the surrounding scenery. If there were no confidentiality restrictions, she would have really wanted to upload the video to the Internet.
The others, however, did not have time to think. They all held rifles and were on guard, fearing that another ghoul would come out and attack them.
"This should be the presidential office." Tantai Zongqi parked the chariot in front of a relatively intact building and got out of the cockpit. "Leave the sixth team to guard the chariot while the others go in to search.
.”
The young soldier looked at Tang Zheng, he was the leader.
"Do as he says, Team 1 and Team 2 open the way!" Tang Zheng was just a civilian, and of course he had no way to get some secret information. This made him more convinced that Tantai was an agent.
Tang Zheng divided the 120 people into six teams, each numbered for easy command. He had cannon fodder, so he had to make full use of it.
After searching the building for half an hour, nothing was found, but the ghoul had already attacked him once, and the female models were all trying to persuade Tang Zheng to leave.
"Shut up." Qin Yan shouted, picked up a piece of paper from the dusty ground, and shattered it with a little force.
"The Russians evacuated in a hurry. All the information that could not be taken away was probably destroyed." Lu Fan stepped over a smashed monitor and looked at the messy office. He could imagine the chaotic scene at that time.
"The waste pickers must have visited here several times." Tan Hui coughed. The dust would rise up if he moved a little, which was very pungent.
"Will there be a shelter under our feet? Otherwise, where can the president escape?" Gao Yu was bored. He felt that Tang Zheng was just wasting his time.
"It's possible, but I can't find the entrance." Tantai walked in with a group of young soldiers, "I discovered the Ministry of National Defense. Do you want to go take a look, although there is nothing."
"Forget it, let's go to the police station. I want to check the household registration in Moscow. There should be some valuable information in the homes of those big shots in the military." Tang Zheng was helpless. For more than a hundred years, he had lived in the Wastelanders.
After several generations, all the people who knew the information before the nuclear war were dead, so Tang Zheng could not find a guide at all.
"This is completely looking for a needle in a haystack." Gao Yu is not optimistic about this kind of action. "This is simply murdering time. We might as well rob the mutant tribe."
Before Tang Zheng could speak, sporadic gunshots were heard outside the building, followed by screams. The female models shrank and were at a loss.
"Let's go." Tang Zheng took off the AK74M and rushed to the first floor a minute later. He saw that there were only twelve people left in the sixth team, guarding the gate and shooting at a group of wastelanders.
"Captain, someone wants to seize the armored vehicle." The captain yelled and subconsciously stood up to report. As a result, a bullet blew out his head instantly, and red and white liquid spilled on the marble floor.
The female models screamed and shrank to the back of the hall, trying to stay away from the door, while Li Meilian and Liu Yue moved closer to Tang Zheng.
"What are you still waiting for? Rush out." Gao Yu called to the three teams following him. At this time, other young soldiers were gathering in the hall.
"It's people from other gathering places." Old Paul didn't think that anyone in gathering place No. 12 would not have the foresight to snatch Tang Zheng.
"Old Paul, I will give you one or two teams to defeat the enemy." Tang Zheng was not prepared to charge by himself, so he let the cannon fodder come in.
"Let's go." Old Paul gritted his teeth and waved his hand. If he refused at this time, he would probably die immediately.
Tang Zheng wanted to take a look at the situation first, but screams and gunshots suddenly rang out in the hall. Five young soldiers rushed down the stairs in a panic. The unlucky guy who fell at the end was slow for a moment, and two food
The ghoul jumped out from behind, pressed on him, and bit his throat directly. A stream of blood arrows spurted out, but the other four only lived for a moment longer, and more ghouls ran out of the corridor.
He came out and pounced on them very quickly. After struggling for a few seconds, he bit them to death on the stairs.
"Damn it, where did such a monster come from?" Gao Yu was startled, and shot directly without caring about whether there would be accidental injuries.
Not only the stairs, ceilings, and glass windows, but everywhere there were passages, ghouls were scurrying out, swarming towards the humans standing in the hall.
React quickly and shoot immediately, panic will inevitably occur.
"No retreat, teams three and four set up defense." Tang Zheng roared angrily, shooting around the female models with a gun. They were afraid of being hit by stray bullets, so they hid too far back, and were out of touch with the team. Now they were completely out of touch with the team.
Being surrounded by ghouls, seeing those ferocious monsters just ten meters away, I was all scared out of my mind.
Bullets whizzed, and the frightened female models kept screaming and hurriedly ran to the gate. Because they were gathered together, it was like fighting for the track at the start of a bicycle race. Crowding inevitably occurred, and the two women who were originally running in front were
The girl behind her pulled a handful of her hair and clothes, and immediately fell to the ground. The others ignored them and trampled over them.
Apart from the hoarse roars of the ghouls, the only sounds left in the hall were the cries and curses of the girls.
"Don't panic." Tang Zheng fired steadily, trying his best to kill the ghoul, but the girl who escaped could not care about obeying, and was afraid that she would be the last one.
"Don't panic." Lao Gao's Bayi Bar was quite accurate, coupled with Tantai Zongqi's Nine-Five Style, he also firmly suppressed the ghouls, at least allowing them to run back safely without any problem, but this fall
, the ghoul was like a shark that smelled the fishy smell, and swooped down.
Qin Yan's roaring death shot out a tongue of fire, and all the shot ghouls were torn apart, but there were still a few fish that slipped through the net and approached the two girls who had just gotten up. At this moment, humanity suddenly broke out, and the one who was lagging behind suddenly
He grabbed the one in front and dragged her to him, hoping to attract the ghoul's firepower, but the girl was not to be outdone and reacted very quickly. While cursing angrily, she grabbed her clothes and threw herself at her.
"You are crazy!" Li Meilian was startled, but the two girls could no longer hear her words. The few ghouls that slipped through the net first reached out and stabbed their scalps, and then bit their throats.
, Gudong, Gudong, they have begun to eagerly swallow the blood of their prey.
Seeing the blood at the corner of the ghoul's mouth, Li Meilian shuddered and involuntarily grabbed the corner of Tang Zheng's clothes.
Bang bang, Tang Zheng and Lao Gao accurately killed the ghouls lying on the two female models, but they were obviously hopeless. They were lying on the ground, their pupils dilated, their limbs twitching nervously, and red blood dripping from their necks.
outflow.
The other female models fled back, and the young soldiers immediately blocked the gap and started shooting.
"Bastards, stand up." Tang Zheng put away his rifle and walked up to the group of staggering and panting female models. He directly grabbed Liu Qian's collar and pulled her up. Without saying a word, he
One slap came, and then the next.
The crisp applause even overwhelmed the sound of the gunshots. The female models were silent. Han Mei tried to hide, but she received a harder slap, and the corners of her mouth immediately swelled.
"Asshole, they could have survived, but they reduced their numbers because of something like this. Are you idiots?" Tang Zheng was so angry that there was no value in this way of death. If they didn't drag each other, they could have escaped.
"Tang Zheng, we were all frightened, please forgive us!" As soon as a girl named Wang Yu said something, Tang Zheng slapped her in the face with a backhand, causing her to sit on the ground.
Tang Zheng saw it right, the first person who reached out to pull someone just now was this woman.
"Next time, I'll feed you to the ghouls." Tang Zheng let out a long breath, feeling that sooner or later he would be pissed to death by these newcomers.
"Tang Zheng, leave them alone, go see if the door is alright, I can't stand it anymore." Tantai Zongqi shouted, and now the ghouls are like a sea of Soviet soldiers shouting Ula and charging, all over the sky and the fields.
, "Pay attention to the shooting rhythm."
Although the young soldier did not flinch, he was also scared. It could be heard from the rapid sound of gunfire that he had to leave before the bullets were fired.
"Old Paul, how's it going?" Tang Zheng stopped caring about this and rushed towards the door.
"Nah, there are about three hundred people. These people must have been targeting us for a long time." Old Paul lowered his head and cursed. Eleven more young soldiers were lying here, and there were obviously snipers on the opposite side.
"Fuck." Tang Zheng was completely angry, activated the steel hellfire, and flew out.
The sneak attackers were startled when they saw an iron man-shaped figure appearing in the air, but they reacted quickly and fired bullets at him immediately.
These guys used ruins as a bunker and surrounded the office building door in a fan shape. There were four hundred people in total. No wonder they couldn't break out.
Ding, a bullet hit Tang Zheng in the head.
"Three hundred meters to the right, there is a sniper, danger level e." After the Trojan intelligently locked onto the enemy, Tang Zheng raised his hand and fired a rocket. With the explosion, a tattered human body was blown away.
The Gatling gun on his shoulder rotated, spitting out three tongues of fire. As he twisted his body, he completely cleared the ruins where the attackers were hiding. The shock beam in his hand continued to fire. Outside the entire office building, Tang was surrounded by fire.
The chaos caused so many corpses that the attackers began to retreat without even taking cover for thirty seconds.
Tang Zheng didn't have time to chase them. When he saw that the armored vehicle had actually been activated, he flew over, violently opened the hatch, grabbed the car thief, pulled him out, and crushed his head.
"Come out." Tang Zheng was about to rush into the office building when he discovered that the escaping attackers were pounced on and killed by ghouls who came out of nowhere. In just the blink of an eye, the entire ruins were filled with more than a thousand people.
There were only a few ghouls, and a lot more sprang out from the buildings everywhere.
"You're not running into the ghoul's lair, are you?" Tan Hui subconsciously stopped on the steps and couldn't help but screamed. This was so bad, she didn't know which way to escape.
.
"Get in the car." Tang Zheng went all out. In the last few dozen seconds of Hellfire, he bombarded the ghoul in the building. After the last young soldier exited, he blasted it with two shock beams, and then went after it.
The infantry fighting vehicle has jumped out twenty meters.
Tang Zheng didn't want to waste points and put away the Hellfire. However, he had already joined the young soldiers. Tantai Zongqi drove the chariot and hurriedly drove towards the Assumption Cathedral, but the speed was not fast enough to allow the accompanying infantry to move more quickly.
