After learning what had happened in the past hour or so, Qiu Yu still felt extremely overwhelmed even though he had been mentally prepared.
Before one o'clock, the nearly 300-kilometer front line completely collapsed. Almost every communication and phone call received by the wing headquarters was bad news. But compared to those who could still send the information back, more troops and companies
I didn't even take a single bubble, and I was completely submerged in the wave of destruction intertwined with zombies and darkness.
The zombie offensive is too fierce, and the battle line collapses too quickly. As a result, the current battle situation has reached a point where it is impossible to grasp at all. We can only make rough inferences based on the existing intelligence. But no matter how you extrapolate or conclude, the result you get is idiotic.
It can be seen that all the troops are close to being wiped out, and the farmland area in the north of the city is completely lost.
And the worst thing is far from the battlefields in farmland areas.
Just after midnight, the entire city's power suddenly went out. Each shelter quickly used the generators that had been prepared for a long time to drive away the darkness that had just descended inside.
This should have been something that made the people in the shelter feel lucky. However, when the entire city was pitch black, even a trace of artificial light would appear extremely eye-catching.
The light from some shelter exits has become a beacon to guide zombie attacks.
In fact, it is not that difficult for a shelter to prevent light from leaking out. However, the safety and solidity of the exit of the shelter prevented everyone from taking the zombies attracted by the light as a
What an incredible trouble.
But the actual result is that this careless light caused hundreds of shelter exits to be attacked by zombies. And every exit that was attacked, whether underground or high-rise, no matter how thick the wall was,
There were still many steel fences, all of which were breached by zombies. Two shelters were completely destroyed, and several shelters responded in time and blasted multiple exits, but only a few zombies entered the shelter.
It caused devastating losses to people and materials.
The shelter where Qiu Yu worked had received the news in advance and had implemented certain controls on light sources. Several commonly used exits were still attacked by zombies. However, the exits were blasted as soon as they were attacked.
Therefore, the zombies were not killed in the shelter. Officials who originally planned to take the subway to escape found that compared with other nearby shelters, this place became the safest place.
As for why the zombie swarm was able to break through those exits, another piece of information about zombies in Qiu Yu's hand gave an explanation.
So far, four powerful new types of zombies have been observed. The tentative names are climbers, arsonists, defenders, and destroyers.
There is no difference in appearance between a climber and an ordinary zombie, but its hands and feet have both barbs and suction cups. Relying on these two things, the climber can move on any type of building wall. Because of climbing
With the emergence of the attackers, all commanding heights have now been lost.
The appearance of the arsonist is that of a severe burn. Every time he comes close to a certain distance from a human, a flame with a temperature of nearly a thousand degrees will suddenly burst into flames. After the duration reaches one minute, the arsonist will burn himself to ashes. But
After killing humans, they will actively extinguish the flames on their bodies, so most of them will not burn themselves to death at once. By observing the burns, or the degree of carbonization, of the arsonist, you can basically judge how long they can continue to burn. Arsonist
It is a type of low persistence and high burst, and the threat is also burst level. So far, apart from keeping a distance, there is no effective way to defend against arsonists.
The Defender is a nearly three-meter giant zombie. Its size, especially its skeleton, has grown abnormally, and its entire body is wrapped in an exoskeleton as strong as steel, which can effectively resist various human light weapon attacks.
The two huge fan-shaped bones on the arm can survive even heavy fire for a long time. If there are no weapons that can threaten the defender, one defender can destroy the battle lines of several teams.
The Destroyer is slightly smaller than the Defender. It has limbs that are more than twice the normal proportion, and its muscle fibers are extremely developed and can easily crush bricks and cement. For walls that are not reinforced by steel bars and are less than 40 centimeters thick, they only need
It can penetrate with one strike. Ninety-five percent of the buildings in the city are within the destruction capabilities of saboteurs. Even the solid exits of shelters cannot withstand the continued attacks of saboteurs.
"Retreat, abandon all defensive facilities, and retreat into the subway."
After reading the rough information about the zombies, Qiu Yu completely gave up any intention of fighting head-on.
Are these zombies? They are clearly a group of biochemical weapons with their own tactical positions. There is no need for more, these types alone are enough to deal with all conventional battles.
Climbers clear out and seize the commanding heights, arsonists and saboteurs are responsible for handling various types of bunkers and defenses, and defenders are a weapon for attacking fortresses. They don’t even need anyone to direct them, these types of zombies swarm everywhere,
It would allow humanity with its current level of technology to be completely wiped out.
After understanding the situation on the front line and the terror of the new zombies, no one questioned Qiu Yu's retreat without a fight. It can even be said that the soldiers here have not fled out of fear, which is already a very good performance.
"I'm going to communicate with the people in the shelter to prevent us from being buried alive by them as soon as we enter the subway. But no matter what I say, I can't guarantee that they won't blow up the subway." Harpham already has feelings for the subway.
I'm in the shadows, but now I have nowhere to go except the subway.
"It won't explode." Qiu Yu said loudly what a soldier had just whispered to him, "The latest news. In addition to a small underwater exit, this is the last part of the shelter that has not been exploded.
Exited. And this subway tunnel of dozens of kilometers has enough buffer distance to prevent zombies from swarming in because they discovered something. Therefore, before the zombies really enter the shelter from here,
, they can’t make up their mind to blow it up.”
Harpham thought carefully, "Then what we have to do now is to introduce the zombies into the subway and then lead them all the way to the shelter?"
Qiu Yu said, "So, we can't run all the way to the shelter, otherwise we will really be buried alive inside. The only thing we can do is to fight the chasing zombies inside."
Harpham exclaimed, "Are you kidding? We are the only ones who fight against them? It doesn't matter if they are just ordinary zombies. As long as there is enough ammunition, we can kill as many as they come in the subway. But what about the defenders? One of them can withstand it.
All our weapons are coming, and there are others..."
Qiu Yudao asked back, "How about you give me a clear path like you did when you enlightened me before?"
Harpham was speechless. If he ran directly to the shelter, he would probably be buried alive. If he went somewhere other than the subway tunnel, he would die faster.
Seeing that he couldn't find any reason to oppose him, Qiu Yu smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, there will always be a way. As long as we hold on until dawn, those new zombies are just fixed targets."
Because zombies may appear at any time, there is not much time to prepare. In fact, there is nothing to prepare. After turning off the generator here and allowing the entire area to blend into darkness, everyone carried as much ammunition as possible
, quickly enter the subway tunnel.
The vehicles of the 21st Armored Squadron cannot be taken away. According to Qiu Yu, these vehicles should be used to block the subway entrance. Although it is not sure how effective it will be, it is at least better than doing nothing. However, the squadron leader of the 21st Armored Squadron
But before executing the order, he found Qiu Yu.
"Judging from the way zombies keep finding the exits of shelters, besides light, they must have other ways to find them. Instead of abandoning our vehicles, we armored forces might as well drive and lure away as many zombies as possible."
The captain of the 21st Squadron is a middle-aged man with a strong scholarly temperament. If it weren't for the military uniform, it would be difficult for even Qiu Yu to recognize his occupation. A person who doesn't look like a soldier can speak in this place where his fists speak.
Once you reach the rank of squadron leader, you can imagine how excellent your abilities in other aspects will be.
The exits of shelters were discovered one after another. Naturally, it cannot be all due to the lighting. But at this moment when he needed to worry about himself more than worrying about others, he was still aware of this and was already calm and thoughtful.
To the extent that he has the talent of a general.
And the so-called driving away zombies is basically a mission that is almost certain to die. Being able to analyze and ask for help so calmly to him makes even Qiu Yu feel ashamed. At least Qiu Yu definitely does not have the courage to sacrifice himself for others.
Su Hao is the kind of person who will do anything for the glory of the military, but in front of this squadron leader, that level of consciousness is simply embarrassing. Because all Su Hao's efforts are to get what he cares about
Glory. The person in front of me had no intention of publicizing his actions. He just asked the commander for instructions and then executed them like an ordinary mission.
In his eyes, everything is done just because he should do it.
For a moment, even Qiu Yu was reluctant to let such an outstanding person die. However, it has to be said that if someone distracts the zombies who come here, the survival probability of others can be greatly improved, and it can also make his own plans later
More smoothly.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, Qiu Yu nodded.
There is no reason to refuse, there is no benefit to refuse, and there is no right to trample on the other person's consciousness - no matter how you think about it, this is the case. However, at the moment of nodding, Qiu Yu felt something inexplicably uncomfortable flashing through his heart.
The squadron leader hammered his chest with his right hand and saluted Qiu Yu with insufficient strength, but other than that, he could not fault the military salute at all and quickly turned away.
"Adopting the voluntary principle, any soldier who doesn't want to go can stay." He felt that there was no harm in this sentence, so Qiu Yu said it.
The squadron leader did not look back. Only his calm smile could be heard in his voice, "Before I came over, all the soldiers of the 21st Squadron had completed their preparations."
