MTL - Doomsday Commander-Chapter 267 The Emergence of Armed Zombies
Chapter 267 The Emergence of Armed Zombies
City of Rumba.
A bleak north wind blows through the city streets.
In the north wind, there was a faint voice echoing.
That is the call of the corpse king.
The corpse king can make a sound that does not match their size, and the sound is long-lasting.
The sound resounded in the wind, echoing in the streets and alleys of the city.
Although the sound has become smaller and smaller, the zombies can still feel it clearly.
And every zombie that feels the sound will suddenly move.
They have been covered by the ice and snow here for a long time, like statues standing there, but now when they hear the sound, they all come alive.
Shaking off the snow on their bodies, the zombies strode forward.
Now the zombies in the last days have evolved to a certain extent, and the male zombies are generally much larger, almost all of them are over 1.8 meters.
And there are many more than two meters, so they are already armored zombies.
The body of the female zombies is much stronger, and they move very quickly. The weak women before the end of the world are not seen now.
After becoming agile zombies, scales will even appear on their bodies, forming a natural protection.
In the sky, a large group of mutated birds flapped their wings and passed by. The mutated animals that used to be mortal enemies with the zombies have now become the same camp.
On the ground, a large number of mutated mice rushed out of the manhole cover of the sewer, appearing like a blowout, and followed the group of zombies, heading towards the corpse king.
After about an hour, the block became empty, and there were no more zombies or mutated animals.
They all gathered in a central square, which was already a sea of zombies.
The boundless ocean of zombies is still moving slowly.
After all the zombies in this block are included, the group of corpses will continue to move to the next block.
The crowd of over ten million corpses is orderly and moving very quickly.
They seem to be troops from hell, with hideous faces but strict rules.
After reaching the next block, the call of the corpse king sounded again.
The little girl let out a sharp whistling, and her voice pierced into the sky.
Hundreds of thousands of corpses were summoned by this voice, and continued to join this sea of corpses.
The licker jumped off the building, and the orangutan zombies also appeared among the corpses.
At the core of this group of corpses, the number of second-level zombies has exceeded a thousand!
The little girl understood the method of artificially cultivating zombies. Some zombies with low combat effectiveness or crippled zombies were taken by her to feed high-level zombies.
Because of this constant catalysis, more and more advanced zombies were in her corpse group.
Among them, the variant of orangutan zombie alone already has a number of five or six hundred.
The lickers have broken through 800, and they are mixed in the team, but it is difficult to be found.
Even the little girl made a big breakthrough.
During the siege of Hezhou, she discovered that advanced zombies such as orangutan zombies and lickers were easily attacked by concentrated fire.
Besides, ordinary zombies have too short claw attack distance in melee combat. These are the disadvantages of zombies.
So this time, she made a major breakthrough, which was to let the zombies take up arms.
This attempt was a bit difficult at the beginning, because she found that zombies don't know how to use weapons, especially ordinary zombies. Even if they are given weapons, they will throw them away without knowing it.
Even for mutated zombies, it is not easy to use weapons. After the mutation, their intelligence has not evolved, and they are still ignorant. They don’t know where to go when they hold the weapon.
Only zombies close to the second-level mutation can hold on to the weapon under the order of the little girl.
But they don't know how to use it too much. Basically, they are smashing the weapon down and rolling it out.
But this is enough for the little girl. She has been equipping the zombies with weapons all the way from Hezhou to Lumba.
The first is the protection of high-level zombies. When the zombie is close to the second level, the surface of the body will secrete an oily substance. She asked the zombie to paste some hard things on the oily substance to form a second layer of protection for the body.
For example, car doors, iron sheets, iron plates, and even tires can also be put on the head to form armor.
The armor couldn't be taken off, so she asked those high-level zombies to pick up weapons as much as possible.
Iron armor can grow up to three meters high, orangutan zombies can grow up to five meters high, and they are all so powerful that ordinary weapons are no longer suitable for them.
So those telephone poles, lampposts, iron placards, or simply tree trunks have all become the weapons of the zombies.
After beating Rumba, all the second-level zombies, as well as a large number of powerful zombies in the first-level mutation, were arranged by the little girl to be armed.
Those orangutan zombies holding telephone poles and tree trunks look like ancient monsters. The power of their weapons is even more amazing. Zombies don't know how to get tired, so these heavy weapons are not a burden to them, and they can carry them all the time.
There is another kind of zombie, which is also protected by the little girl, and that is the water-spraying zombie with a big belly.
These zombies now number more than half a million. The little girl asked them to put on thick clothes or even quilts, and then rolled in the mud and mortar, covering their stomachs as much as possible. After repeated times, it will also form protection. layer.
This kind of protective layer is absolutely impenetrable to pistols, and even long-distance rifles. This kind of defense is basically enough.
More importantly, the little girl's control has greatly increased.
When she was in Hezhou, she could only command 10 million corpses, but now it has reached 20 million!
Now in her team, there are 13 million zombies, 3 million mutated birds, and more than 4 million mutated beasts.
The mutated birds and mutated mice have already proved their effectiveness in the battle in Hezhou. The harassment in the air and the attack under the ground can make the human army hard to defend. This time when they came to Lumba, the little girl accidentally controlled About three million mutant mice.
And the real main force, that is, the number of armed zombies has reached a million, which is the little girl's trump card strength!
When the number of corpses reached 20 million, it finally reached the limit of the little girl.
A whistling came out along with the north wind, and an army of 20 million zombies poured out of Rumba like a sea tide, and began to go south to the city of chasing light!
The helicopter landed on the tarmac on the top floor of Tang Zheng's official residence in the inner city.
Getting off the plane, Tang Zheng went straight back indoors.
Now the big troops are still on their way back, and there are only two city guard battalions guarding the entire Zhuguang City.
There is also the engineering unit, which is currently helping with the transfer of survivors.
Including the University City base, five of the twelve alliance bases are located north of Zhuguang City, and these five bases will be transferred this time.
After Tang Zheng came back, he first asked about the transfer situation.
After being notified by Tang Zheng, people from the five bases all started a large transfer, and it is expected that the transfer will be completed within three days and enter the international base.
Tang Zheng also got the news at this moment that some of the corpses had already left Lunba City, the goal was to go south, and it was estimated that they would reach the City of Chasing Light in three days.
Just when Tang Zheng was about to start a violent attack, Li Xiaoqiang, the director of the TV station, learned that Tang Zheng was back, and came to report the situation.
Tang Zheng let him in, and Li Xiaoqiang came in and said: "General, after the corpses in Hezhou left, we connected the TV cable to Hezhou, and built a signal tower there. After the lines are connected, we can already watch the Imperial Palace. The TV signals in the central, northern, eastern, northeast, and southeastern regions can be received, and the signals including Yuanjing can be received, and the signal intercommunication with about half of the empire has been realized, and many TV programs can be watched.”
"Oh, that's a good thing." Tang Zheng said a few words of encouragement.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoqiang continued: "This time, other forces have monitored the movement of the corpses in Lunba City. At present, many forces have expressed concern about this matter, including Her Royal Highness. You should watch TV."
Hearing this, Tang Zheng didn't go into a fight immediately, but turned on the TV.
The first to receive is still Zhuguang TV Station, which is broadcasting the news to let the people transfer.
The second TV station to broadcast is Yuanjing TV Station.
The royal institutions in Yuanjing are currently set up in the Yuanjing Palace, about 500 kilometers away from Yuanjing City.
What was broadcast on the TV station turned out to be the situation in Zhuguang City.
In the TV show, Li Wuyou even appeared on the screen. She told Tang Zheng through the TV call, if you are not sure, don't hold on, you can consider letting the people move immediately, and you can come to live in Yuanjing. She will try to ensure that these people living needs and supplies.
Liu Yibang, who has already served as the deputy commander of the Royal Guard, also said that as long as Tang Zheng needs it, he will do his best to help with the transfer and ensure safety.
It can be seen that Li Wuyou is still very concerned about the situation in Zhuguang City.
She also expressed on TV that she was pleased with Tang Zheng's execution of the rebellious Liao Yucheng in the military base, saying that Tang Zheng was a pillar of the empire.
But having experienced the defense of Hezhou, she knows the horror of the corpses. At the beginning, 28 people from the Fifth Army failed to defend Hezhou. Now the Light Chasing Army has only 30,000 people. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to defend Hezhou.
But she didn't directly give orders to Tang Zheng, but used this method of inquiry to express her respect for Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng looked at it for a while, of course he couldn't accept Li Wuyou's kindness this time, so he didn't respond for the time being.
But after switching channels, Tang Zheng discovered two new TV stations, and his words were not so friendly.
In the central and southern region of Hanyue, Tian Mingfei, the commander of the Eighth Army of the Empire guarding the Haojiang waterway, said that the attack of the light-chasing army on the barracks base was a barbaric act of aggression. He asked Tang Zheng to withdraw from the barracks base immediately and return the people there to a clear sky.
There is also a TV station, which is located in Sanjiang City in the eastern coastal area.
Sanjiang City is the place where Tang Zheng escaped from. There is a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers from Sanjiang to Zhuguang City, and dialogue can now be achieved.
Sanjiang City has also established a large survival base. At present, a large area along the eastern coast is the sphere of influence of this base.
The leader here is Chen Hongchang, commander of the Seventh Army of the Empire.
This person was originally a Marquis of Sanjiang City. At first Sanjiang City was ruled by a Grand Duke. Later, when the apocalypse broke out and the Grand Duke died, he took over and integrated Sanjiang City. He is currently the Duke of the Empire.
Among the news, the deputy commander of the Seventh Army, former Imperial Baron, and now Imperial Marquis Song Yinghao directly attacked Tang Zheng on TV.
Song Yinghao's speech was even simpler: "Tang Zheng is a sinner of the empire. He escaped from Sanjiang City. He did a lot of evil in Sanjiang. If zombies attack Zhuguang City this time, it will be caused by his sins. Even if he can If he survives, my Seventh Army will definitely be at odds with him!"
