Because compared to major base cities, the defense strength of the gathering area is not worth mentioning.
That is to say, the Zerg did not take them to heart, otherwise they would attack the base city, and these so-called gathering places would not be able to survive for even an hour.
It's just that the words came back.
Precisely because they didn't take it seriously, Zhang Heng and his team came here instead of returning to the base city, right?
"Mayor."
"Repelled, we pushed back the Zerg."
Later in the night.
The last few Zergs were killed in the cave, and there were no light beetle soldiers to replenish them from behind.
Seeing this scene, the savages burst into cheers, because everyone knew that they would not have to die today.
"How's the loss?" Boss Huang looked around.
"After layers of fighting, the residential areas on the upper floors have been destroyed, especially the first floor. The fire burned everything clean."
"The victory is a victory, but it is a tragic victory. The specific number of casualties has not been calculated yet. It is estimated that there should be no less than 3,000 people."
A subordinate was reporting from the side.
Three thousand!
Boss Huang's mouth twitched.
The 7321 gathering place is not that big, with only 20,000 people at full capacity.
Among them, women and children accounted for nearly half, and only about 10,000 were able to fight.
Three thousand died in one breath.
This means that as long as there are two more waves of the previous attack, let alone fighting, they can be killed by just consumption.
And what is the advantage of the Zerg?
Violent soldiers.
Everything on the planet is edible to the Zerg, including the soil.
As long as the mother insect is willing and there is no shortage of resources, the Zerg can't afford to consume such cannon-fodder light beetle soldiers as much as they want.
"Clean the upper layers, pile everything that can be burned on top, and then pour kerosene on them."
"In addition, open the warehouse and find food and supplies. As long as we can keep it, we will not be short of these things in the future. If we can't keep it..."
A cold look flashed in Boss Huang's eyes: "There is no need to leave it to others."
"Mayor."
One of his subordinates hesitated and said: "Based on today's situation, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for a few days."
"How many days?"
Boss Huang smiled bitterly: "I'll be content to hold on until this time tomorrow. The heavy beetles and digging insects didn't come today. If they did come, it's hard to say whether we could hold on today."
There are many units within the Zerg.
The light beetle soldiers who attack the tunnel are just cannon fodder to the Zerg.
That's it.
They relied on underground bunkers to resist with great difficulty.
I really don’t know what is waiting for them next time.
after all.
Reality is not a tower defense game.
If the Zerg lose one wave, they will definitely send more powerful troops in the second wave.
On their side, one less person dies.
There is neither a barracks in the game that can quickly replenish troops, nor a single click to upgrade an ordinary savage to a fully armed savage soldier. Press twice to upgrade to an elite exoskeleton warrior. Press three times to transform a savage into a mecha.
MechWarrior's upgrade button.
There is no such thing as a good thing.
"Mayor Huang, is this murderous man worried about anything else?"
Early the next morning.
The sky is dark and bright.
Boss Huang came with bloodshot eyes.
"Mr. Zhang, there are Zerg troops gathering outside again. When will the federal fleet arrive? My people won't be able to hold on for long."
Mr. Huang was half heartbroken and half anxious.
"This is a good question. I want to ask it too, but who should I ask it to?" Zhang Heng shook his head: "I am not the commander of the federal fleet, so am I waiting here like you?"
Boss Huang was silent for a while, then said: "I don't know if I can withstand this wave of Zerg attacks. How about this, let Captain Tu and the others assist me."
"I refuse."
Zhang Heng shook his head without thinking: "Although Captain Tu and the others are armored warriors, they are useless in tunnel and street fighting."
Boss Huang frowned and wanted to say something else.
Zhang Heng interrupted before he could speak: "Mayor Huang, it's not that I don't contribute. If Tu Xiong and the others can turn the tide of the war, I won't refuse you."
"But the problem is that several of them do not have such abilities, and they will not help the current situation."
"Furthermore, we agreed before that you guarantee my safety, and I guarantee to give you a future after the federal fleet arrives, wipes out the Zerg, and gets everything back on track."
"It's a deal, isn't it?"
Boss Huang said solemnly: "If it weren't for you..."
"stop!"
Zhang Heng interrupted again: "Lap Planet was conquered by the Zerg. With or without us, the Zerg will find this place. This is the inevitable result."
"So, don't think that I owe you anything, and don't think that I brought all this. Like you, I hope that the 7321 gathering place can stick to it."
Speaking of which.
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Now, you should go out with a smile, organize your men, and deal with the second wave of Zerg attacks."
Boss Huang looked deeply at Zhang Heng.
Both he and his father, the old mayor, believed that they could wait for the support of the federal fleet and thus gain a lot of benefits from Zhang Heng.
But as time went by, the Zerg attacks became more and more fierce.
Now, he no longer dares to say that he can live to enjoy all this.
The mind determines the attitude.
Boss Huang turned around and left.
Walking outside the door, he thought for a while and called his men: "Duan Qing, if I die in the battle, kill this fat pig immediately and let him keep me company."
Duan Qing was stunned for a moment.
Boss Huang's eyes were cold.
After his death, there will be no need to worry about the flood.
Keeping people like Zhang Heng around is to bet on a glimmer of hope.
He is already dead, what else can he hope for?
Thinking of this, Mr. Huang's voice was full of viciousness: "And that little cow has grown so big. Remember not to waste it."
At the same time.
inside the room.
Zhang Heng sat on the chair, reflecting everything between his eyes.
kill!!
The Zerg are like a tide, attacking the gathering place.
Boss Huang led the crowd and kept shooting from behind the bunker: "Brothers, hold on, hold on!"
"Boss, be careful up there!"
A shout came to my ears.
Boss Huang looked up and saw a Zerg coming from above.
"Um?"
Click the trigger.
Nothing happened, the gun seemed to be jammed.
Come again.
Still unable to pull the trigger, a trace of panic flashed in Boss Huang's eyes.
"Boss!"
In full view.
A Zerg emerged from the robber hole, waving two pairs of front claws.
Boss Huang seemed to be stunned, unable to dodge, and was instantly cut in half.
"The boss is dead!"
Seeing that Boss Huang was dead, Duan Qing was stunned for a moment.
The next second.
I just felt a chill on my neck.
Looking back, I saw a shrapnel that flew from nowhere and was embedded in the stone wall behind me.
"No way?"
Duan Qing subconsciously touched his neck.
He spread his hands, and they were covered in blood.
"doctor?"
"Where is the doctor?"
Duan Qing searched subconsciously.
Then he took a few steps forward, his legs gave out, and he fell to the ground.
"fool!"
"Isn't it good to just be a dog? Why bother with so much thought?"
inside the room.
Zhang Heng drank red wine and ordered without looking back: "Call Huang Ting."
noon.
This is the third day of the Zerg invasion of Lapu.
After hard resistance, the second wave of Zerg attacks was withstood.
The savages, who had suffered heavy losses, stared blankly at the high platform, their fourth mayor, the youngest daughter of the old mayor... Huang Ting.
"uncle..."
Huang Ting looked timidly at the people in front of her.
Unlike the previous two mayors, the only thing Huang Ting has to offer is that she is the Huang family, the son and daughter of the old mayor.
But don't worry.
Unlike Huang Laosan and Huang Laoda, their positions are different.
This time, Zhang Heng stood beside Huang Ting.
"Residents of Forest Town."
"I am Zhang Heng, a third-level citizen, and I am also the big boss who promises to build factories and hospitals for you."
Zhang Heng's plump body sat on a chair. This was his first appearance in public, and the people below also looked at him quietly.
"I know your battle is difficult."
"I also know that you have lost three good mayors in just two days."
"I see everything and grieve with you."
"But we don't have time to cry, because happiness is too far away, and the Zerg is right in front of us."
Zhang Heng glanced over: "Next, please turn your grief and anger into strength, and continue to support your Mayor Huang, Huang Ting, as before."
"And I am here to make a solemn promise to everyone."
"Not only will I send my escort captain, Tu Xiong, and Captain Tu to help you fight against the Zerg, but I will also build nursing homes for you on the basis of hospitals, factories, and schools and provide you with disability subsidies."
"As long as I don't die, the forest town will not perish."
"After all this is over, the family members of every resident who died in the war will receive a pension, and those who were injured and unable to live will also receive my living allowance."
"Please believe me, this subsidy will be very sincere. Even if you lose your hands and legs, you can still rely on this subsidy to marry three wives and hire five servants."
"You will no longer need to worry about food, and you will no longer need to be troubled by diseases."
"Now, tell me, do you still have the courage to fight for your homeland and future?"
in the crowd.
Several savages looked at each other and shouted: "Bloody battle, bloody battle, bloody battle!"
Herding effect.
Seeing someone taking the lead, the others also roared: "Bloody battle!"
