Chapter two hundred and eighty fourth attack blocked
Generally speaking, the higher the density of heterogeneous activity, the lower the zombie density will be. The partial densities of the two usually show an inverse trend. Now the zombie density is declining...
This is not a good phenomenon.
"How long will it take for this alien tide to end?" Zhu Tian asked helplessly.
"When Jinling City restores its ecological balance." Li Xinran shrugged and teased.
Any creature, including zombies, has a sense of living space. When the number exceeds a certain threshold and the city center can no longer accommodate them, they will expand outward, expanding the scope of the "city center".
Simply waiting cannot wait until the tide of alien species ends. Only by killing all these migrating zombie alien species can this war end.
If not, then you can only give up your territory and move to a distant place.
In this wasteland where everything has become deformed, only natural selection never deforms.
The zombies not far away approached. Li Xinran took the laser rifle from his chest, opened the folding gun stock and put it on his shoulder. He aimed at the zombies and pulled the trigger with half-squinted eyes.
A needle-thick blue beam flashed, and a fist-sized notch was instantly burned out of the zombie's forehead. Dark contents flowed out. It continued to walk for two steps, and then quietly knelt down on the ground.
.
Several more beams of light flashed, and several zombies fell to the ground silently.
There is no "chirp" shooting sound effect like in science fiction movies. In reality, laser rifles are silent killers. Although troublesome maintenance, expensive parts, limited range, weak EMP resistance and other problems make this high-tech weapon indispensable.
It is far less popular in the wasteland than the durable and practical gunpowder rifle, but Li Xinran seems to have a special liking for it.
The ballistic trajectory is straight, no recoil, and has a high burst at close range.
"It's really science fiction." Looking at the weapon in Li Xinran's hand, Zhu Tian said with envy.
He has actually always wanted to get two of these weapons as collectibles, but the weapon shops at Tianyuan Base only sell small batteries that can be used in laser rifles, and rarely sell laser rifles themselves. Occasionally, he didn't look at it when he passed by Tianyuan Base.
When I arrived, I forgot about it.
It is said that the places where this kind of laser rifle is deployed on a large scale are mainly in space battlefields. After all, in a gravity-free environment, who dares to shoot randomly with a conventional rifle? If you shoot out without hitting anyone, you are afraid that you will disappear without a trace.
"Is this considered science fiction?" Li Xinran rolled her eyes at Zhu Tian and put the rifle back to her chest: "Get ready to go, the wall will not be safe later."
"Mutant flies and mutant mosquitoes?"
Squinting at the increasingly dense black mass in the distance, Zhu Tian turned around and walked down the wall with Li Xinran.
Due to the emergence of flying alien species, Li Chengwei urgently evacuated the survivors in the base and moved them to temporary refuge facilities in the waterways.
Although Zhu Tian did not want to brag about his foresight, the temporary shelter he established in the waterway did come in handy this time. These flying creatures can easily cross the walls of the base, which is undoubtedly a disaster for ordinary survivors in the base.
disaster.
At this time, all you need to do is hide in the waterway.
After more than half a year of continuous reinforcement, this traffic artery connecting Tianyuan Base and Ming Dynasty Survivor Base has been reinforced like an iron barrel. As long as the entrances at both ends are guarded, no alien species can invade here.
When Zhu Tian and Li Xinran went to the community center, they saw almost no people along the way.
After arriving at the command room, the two met the only living person left in the community center—Xu Anhua.
She was seen crossing her arms and staring at the holographic terrain map on the table with an indifferent expression.
The red and blue dots on the map are intertwined, marking the own and enemy forces. Judging from the distribution of troops alone, the First Corps has the upper hand, but the expression on her face at this moment is not very relaxed.
"How is the situation on the Western Front?" After seeing her, Zhu Tian immediately asked.
"Something is not good."
Her expression remained unchanged forever, but Zhu Tian faintly heard a hint of solemnity in her voice.
...
At the same time, the Western Front.
In the suburbs of Jia City, 6 kilometers away from the Jia City Sports Center, Zhou Weiguo set up a temporary combat headquarters here.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the holographic map, tapping the main roads on the map with his fingers, and then pulled out an offensive red arrow and gave orders to his team.
"Attention Team 8. The mutants have deployed a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns in the foxholes of Sanshuiwan Park. Your mission is to break through the defense line of the mutant infantry along this route and take out their anti-aircraft machine gun positions. Do you understand?
!”
"clear!"
"Attention Team 5, from... damn." Zhou Weiguo raised his head and looked at the orange-yellow light group exploding in the sky in the distance.
Wide-area electromagnetic interference bombs can interrupt radio communications in the area within an hour.
Cursing secretly, Zhou Weiguo threw the headset full of noise on the table and sat back in his chair. This kind of radio communication shielding is effective for both the enemy and ourselves. Without command, the troops fighting on the front line can only maintain
They are working on their own with the current deployment.
This boring trick can only delay time, and neither side can redeploy their forces. However, the mutants don't seem to need to make any new deployments. As the defenders, all they need to do is to hold on.
Already.
The constant sound of artillery fire in the distance made Zhou Weiguo upset for a while, and the mutants' delaying tactics made him feel very uneasy.
This mutant has surprisingly many good things in his hands. It seems that the Twilight Church is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
Soon, a messenger soldier carrying a rifle ran up to him.
After taking a deep breath, Zhou Weiguo said to him.
"Notify Team 4 to advance along Nanxi Road to the intersection..."
Different from the terrain of Jinling City, the environment of Jiashi with crisscrossed rivers makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack. As for the mutant command base, the Jiashi Sports Center is surrounded by layers of rivers.
In order to resist the offensive of the New Ming Dynasty's First Corps, the mutants learned a lesson. They blew up the bridges of all the rivers, and then huddled within the defense line. However, these rivers caused a lot of trouble for the armored units of the New Ming Dynasty.
.
On the first day of the offensive, the armored troops of the New Ming Dynasty were blocked at the entrance of the highway west of Jia City. The bridge across the river was blown into several sections. Zhou Weiguo spent a lot of effort to allow the armored troops to pass through the river.
First, artillery fire bombarded the mutant defenders on the other side of the river, and then the infantry stepped forward to build a pontoon bridge. After occupying the other side of the river, the armored forces passed through.
As the tanks crossed the river, the situation suddenly became much more optimistic. The armored vanguard cleared the way, followed by the infantry.
Racing all the way to conquer the city for four kilometers, the mutants abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in a hurry.
But soon the situation became tense again.
As they entered the city, the number of rivers increased instead of decreasing, and the advance of the armored forces was once again blocked.
Land No. 5
The disastrous defeat made the mutants realize the ferocity of the new Ming Dynasty's armored power, so they deployed defenses along the river and adhered to the street fighting strategy. The mutants entrenched in Jia City were many times more difficult to deal with than the mutants in No. 5.
In addition to those troublesome anti-tank guns and mortars, the mutants even got a tactical nuclear bomb from nowhere. The light infantry without armor protection fell to about two hundred in an instant, and the Hunter Tiger II also broke down.
Got one.
Fortunately, most of the people who died were recruits recruited from prisoners in No. 5. Zhou Weiguo just frowned, but he was not particularly distressed.
But if you don't feel bad, don't feel bad. This battle situation is getting anxious. In order to prevent the mutants from having useless tactical nuclear bombs, Zhou Weiguo had no choice but to extend the front line and give up the strategy of cluster attack.
These mutants must be commanded by humans!
There are about 20,000 mutants entrenched in Jia City, which is five times the number of the First Corps. Although the First Corps is equipped with a large number of heavy firepower weapons and armored units, it is still trapped in a hard battle due to the crisscrossing rivers.
.
"The blitzkrieg offensive has been blocked, and the First Corps may not be able to capture Jiashi in the short term." Xu Anhua crossed his arms and said while looking at the holographic map.
"I have long said that fighting on two fronts is too crazy."
Li Xinran glanced at her mouth and sat down on the sofa.
"Didn't you consider that mutants might blow up the bridge?" Zhu Tian looked at Xu Anhua and asked.
"A total of 217 bridges were blown up. According to the quality standards of ordinary highway bridges of the former East Asian Cooperation Government, blowing up a bridge requires at least 600 kilograms of explosives to be placed on the supporting structure." Xu Anhua said calmly.
130.2 tons of explosives. This mutant's supply is really too generous.
"Fuck, where did those beasts get so much explosives?" Li Xinran couldn't help but scolded fiercely.
130 tons. Even if the entire Tianyuan Base is searched, I'm afraid they won't be able to get so much explosives. Even if the mutants get an abandoned arsenal of the former East Asian Cooperation Government, they won't be able to come up with so many explosives at once!
"It's the Twilight Church!" Zhu Tian suddenly said!
"What are you talking about?" Xu Anhua looked at the two of them and asked in confusion.
Zhu Tian and Li Xinran looked at each other, and then told Xu Anhua what happened.
Xu Anhua lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"There is a question that I have always wondered about. Why is the Church of Dusk able to establish a cooperative relationship with mutants?"
"Mutants need to improve the virus to gain the ability to reproduce, and the Twilight Church needs the Eden technology of the shelter. Both parties have the same interests, and the Twilight Church will eventually roll off the earth without leaving a trace, so there will be no conflict between the two parties in the future." Zhu Tian was thinking.
He organized the known information and stated it simply.
"The Eden Project? When I was the commander of the 71st Mechanic Division, I heard someone talk about a national research institute in Jinling City that was responsible for research in this area. It is said that once the technological breakthrough is successful, the alien system will
The colonial problem can be overcome." Xu Anhua pinched his chin and said to himself.
"What if we provide the virus to mutants and let them fight on their own?" Li Xinran suggested.
"Impossible. Once you do this, the short-term trouble will be gone, but the long-term trouble will be huge." Zhu Tian said with a bitter smile.
He considered this issue, but quickly rejected it. Mutants who have escaped the constraints of their reproductive functions do not need to rely on capturing humans to breed in captivity, which would be a disaster for the survivors in the entire wasteland.
