blood plague

Half a month has passed since the Gospel broadcast announced that Rama City was a cleared area.

In the past half a month, countless convoys have been busy shuttling on the interstate highway between Pudeau County and Rama City. In order to improve the traffic efficiency, everyone even pushed all the scrapped vehicles to the side of the road spontaneously.

This state highway has become one of the busiest traffic arteries at the moment, with non-stop traffic around the clock, and sometimes even traffic jams.

Pedestrians on the road were in a trance, as if they had returned to their life before the outbreak of the blood plague.

The fire in the Pars Mountains was finally extinguished by the belated rainstorm. The heavy rain not only had a great impact on scavenging, but also had a great impact on the military's ongoing campaign.

Don't get me wrong, the impact of this torrential rain on the military campaign is positive, positive, and helpful. If it weren't for the help of the torrential rain, their legion would not be able to escape so many people.

With the complete collapse of the frontline corps, this means that after more than ten days of fighting, after paying a lot of casualties, the military's raid strategy finally failed.

For a while, the morale in the control area fell to the bottom.

The reason for the legion's failure was both accidental and inevitable. It could be simply said that it was bad luck, or it could be said that the military was exhausted.

During the more than ten days of battle, the staff department has been exhausted, trying every means to push the legion forward.However, no matter how clever the plan is, it is the soldiers who are ultimately executed.

The excellence of soldiers can often make up for the mistakes of generals.

vice versa.

The incompetence of soldiers can often eliminate the excellence of commanders.

People in the Central Plains have known this simple truth for a long time.

Otherwise, how could there be so many coaches changed, stink after stink, and the ranking is getting lower and lower.

At the beginning, in fact, everyone thought that the battle was stable and must be won.

At the beginning of the period, the Legion quickly occupied the power plant and waterworks closest to the controlled area without any bloodshed.

Although these two factories could not be put into use immediately, they were successfully won as the first important strategic goal, which still played a significant role in improving the low morale.

Then, the brutal battle began.

The second strategic point in the attack plan was the Tucson River Bridge.

This is also the most important strategic location in this attack plan. Taking it down will cut off the connection between the east and west banks of the Tucson River and ensure the safety of the west bank.

After the Legion came to the banks of the Tuxon River, due to too much delay in making plans before, it happened to meet the wave of infected people in Washington DC.

After the infected were densely packed and entered the west bank from the east bank through the Tuxon River Bridge, they immediately joined the legion on top.

In front of the tide of infected people more than ten times its own, the legion took out all the weapons at the bottom of the box, even including a real troop carrier armored vehicle.

However, under the precise strike of the special infected, the elite weapons of the Legion were quickly destroyed.

Relying only on the rifles in the hands of the soldiers, facing the wave after wave of infected people, the frontline commanders looked helplessly at the Tuxon River Bridge several kilometers away, unable to push it over.

What's more dangerous is that the tide of infected people is still pouring in through the Tuxon River Bridge.

In the past, to fight against such a large wave of infected people, they relied on strong permanent fortifications for defense, but now they can only resist with the help of defense lines built by soldiers' flesh and blood.

Not to mention advancing, how long the legion can last in this wave of infected people is still a question.

When there was no other way, Dina used her personal relationship. She called Iger, said all the good things, and persuaded Iger to launch mental suppression to assist the legion.

After Iger hung up Dina's phone, he called Maria again and asked Maria to send someone to deliver another bottle of combat potion.

Last time, the Maria trustees brought three bottles of combat potions, and as Iger led the team out, Maria took back two useless bottles of combat potions.

Maria took very strict care of the battle potion, and she had to personally manage each bottle.She doesn't want the tragedy to happen again because of management negligence.

Father Iger is going to use the holy power again, which is great news for all survivors.

Gospel broadcasters quickly broadcast the news.

An hour later, the special car sent by Maria to deliver the goods arrived in Rose Town. A bottle of combat potion was sent to escort an entire security team.

After handing over the combat potion to Father Iger, the security captain led the team back to Jixi Town.

Iger returned to the room, first did warm-up exercises, then prepared a lot of drinking water for himself, and finally sent Sister Catherine to guard the door.

After everything was ready, Iger drank the bottle of combat potion.

With a powerful, chaotic, and unstoppable burst of mental power, Iger started to interfere with the infected for several hours.

Almost at the same moment, on the front line of the legion, the infected who were still baring their teeth and claws suddenly stopped moving.

The impact of Iger's blocking interference on the infected is actually more severe than disconnection.

When the infected are disconnected from the psionic network, they act according to the most basic biological instincts.

And this blocking interference did not remove the infected from the psionic network, but blocked all commands and information, and the infected were actually in a state of control without command input.

To put it simply, they were not disconnected, but the operator's mouse and keyboard were unplugged.

Suddenly a miracle came, and the legionnaires were greatly excited.

Taking advantage of these god-given hours, the Legion finally killed tens of thousands of infected people.

After successfully controlling the Tuxon River Bridge, the Legion took the opportunity to wipe out the infected people on the east bank who hadn't crossed the river yet.

In this battle, the Legion successfully wiped out a wave of super-infected people with a population of [-] to [-], and also won the most important Tuxon River Bridge, successfully controlling the only channel for infected people to pour in from the east bank.

The morale of the legion soared.

After building a firepower point on the bridge that could cover the entire bridge, and leaving behind enough troops to control the bridge, Lien Chan and Lien Ke's army devoted all the remaining troops to the last strategic goal, Jintuo Town.

Jintuo Town is a large town on the west bank of the Taxon River.

There is nothing special about it, except that it is very close to the Tucson River Bridge.

Outside of Jintuo Town, there are scattered settlements, and there is only one city tens of kilometers to the north of it.

By occupying Jintuo Town, you can defend on the spot and block the infected from attacking from the north.

In this way, the military's control area is stable.

The battle has been surprisingly smooth so far, mainly because the most difficult bridge on the Taxon River was easily taken down, and the army still had a huge surplus of troops.Attacking Jintuo Town is almost guaranteed.

Just when it was thought that the battle was about to end smoothly, the headquarters received a report from the frontline troops that countless infected people were found in Jintuo Town.

This news caught everyone in the command room by surprise.

Each wave of infected people in the military-controlled area mainly comes from two directions, one is the city of Gaysville in the north, and the other is Washington DC in the northeast.

With the continuous attack of the tide of infected people, the scattered infected people along the way of the tide of infected people have long been taken away by the wave.

In fact, isolated infected people are now almost invisible.

Either none, or thousands.

Therefore, the Legion did not trigger battles at the waterworks and power plants, and directly occupied them.

In this legion's plan, more than 80% of the difficulties lie in the Tuxon River Bridge, because of the wave of infected people in Washington DC, each wave has a large number of infected people, at least more than [-] people.

The size of the wave of infected people in Gaysville is only one-tenth of that in Washington DC, which is two thousand.

As a result, according to the report of the front-line troops, countless infected people were found in Jintuo Town, at least [-].

The Legion was caught off guard.

This is a new and as yet unknown evolution of the Infected.

In different regions, the proportion of screamers and infected people is different.

This has nothing to do with anything else, it simply has something to do with the intensity of the fighting with the survivors.

The intensity of fighting with survivors is very low, and even in places like Rama City that haven't been torn apart for several months, there are a lot of screamers.

In other areas where the fighting was fierce, such as Gaysville and Washington DC, a batch of screamers were generated in these places, and they immediately took the infected to send a batch, so the number of screamers never rose.

The cycle and scale of the wave of infected people in these places are completely restricted by the screechers.

Gaysville City can only generate less than a dozen screamers at a time, so the size of each wave of infected people is basically stable within [-].

But to everyone's surprise, because of an evolution of the blood plague brain, the infected have learned to transport troops over long distances.

There is a moderately large blood plague heart in Jintuo Town, and a larger blood plague heart in Gaysville City, but there is still a blank area of ​​[-] to [-] kilometers between the two.

Usually, it was the screamers who led the infected people across the blank area, from Gaysville City to Jintuo Town.

But after the blood plague heart formed the blood plague brain, its intelligence has been greatly evolved.

In the absence of screamers, Gaiswell's Plague Heart commands the infected to move straight in a certain direction.

The tide of infected followed the direction indicated by the Plague Heart until they were out of Gaiswell's Plague Heart's control.

The infected who returned to the stand-alone state continued to move forward according to the last order. When they passed the blank area after four or five days of trekking, they were immediately captured by the blood plague heart in Jintuo Town.

If there were any biologists or zoologists, they would be amazed at this evolution of the blood plague brain, which is a manifestation of higher biological intelligence, a bit like throwing an apple with two hands.

Throw the apple with one hand and catch it with the other.

This is a complex action made by advanced intelligence. The migration of infected people before was more like handing out apples.

The upper limit of infected people that Jintuo Town's Blood Plague Heart can command is about [-], so Jintuo Town has already stored nearly [-] infected people, and they are waiting in Jintuo Town. , can immediately form a wave of infected people going south.

The recent waves of infected people from the north all came from Jintuo Town, but because of everyone's inertial thinking and the fact that the cycle didn't change much, the scouts didn't notice it.

Now, the soldiers of the legion will definitely not be curious about the evolution of the brain of the blood plague. They just want to know why there are densely packed towns that have been told by their superiors that this place was originally empty and that they can just plant flags and occupy it. infected.

Subsequently, the legion launched a tug-of-war with the infected outside Jintuo Town, which can be called a bloody noose.

Seeing the legionnaires caught in the attack of the infected, Dina asked Iger for help again, but this time even if Dina cried pear blossoms with rain, she was charming and tear-jerking, and Iger refused in one breath.

The big move already has a cooldown and energy storage time. Iger's mental weakness has not yet passed, and he is lying in the corpse. He has no way to provide any help.

After the front-line legionnaires fell into a bitter battle, the commanders in the staff room gritted their teeth and pushed up the reserve team in the control area and the guard team for internal control in two waves.

Whether it's a refueling war or a war of attrition, it's better to go all in at once than to fill in bit by bit.

The infected people in Jintuo Town were attacked by almost all the legion soldiers, and when they were about to be suppressed, a large wave of infected people who migrated from Gaysville City arrived again.

Originally, the legionnaires were already extremely tired, and the casualties were extremely serious. Everyone was fighting with a sigh of relief.

Endless infected people poured in from afar, and finally an army couldn't stand it anymore.

This army has already suffered up to 70% casualties. When they saw that the number of infected people who were about to bottom out suddenly increased dozens of times, the willpower of the soldiers collapsed.

The front-line commanders were also unable to maintain their formation, and this group of soldiers scrambled to escape from the temporary position.

With the defeat of this army, the front attacking Jintuo Town collapsed instantly.

The staff officers in the command room cannot command the front-line commanders, and the front-line commanders cannot control the soldiers under them.

Everyone is beggar-thy-neighbor, for fear that they will not escape as fast as others.

The field hospital originally set up at the rear of the position was abandoned. Hundreds of unarmed and severely wounded and medical personnel were placed in the field hospital. submerged.

With the fall of the field hospital, the morale of the soldiers further collapsed. This is no longer a defeat, it is simply a battle royale.

When the bridge guards guarding the Tuxon River Bridge hadn't reacted, the way they retreated behind was blocked by tens of thousands of infected people.

The bridge guards were originally at the bridgehead on the west bank to stop the influx of infected people coming from Washington DC. Unexpectedly, the brother troops in the rear fled without even notifying.

The soldiers of the bridge guards used the fortifications to kill the infected as much as possible. As the ammunition was exhausted, all the bridge guards were wiped out under the attack of the infected.

However, this did not end. The tide of infected people went south along the road and captured the logistics base piled up with a large amount of combat supplies.

This battle is not enough to be described as a disastrous defeat. Not only was the attack failed, but the infected fought a wave of counterattacks, and even the base camp in the rear was demolished by the infected.

If it hadn't been for the sudden rainstorm, the soldiers who were besieged in the base camp might not have been able to escape.

The broken soldiers who fled to the control area with their helmets and armors brought back the most tragic news.

The losses in this battle are not enough to be described as heavy. The military dispatched a total of 1127 troops, 463 reserve troops, and 322 guard troops. In the end, 707 people successfully escaped back, with a battle loss ratio of 63%.

The bad news is not over yet, the tide of infected people is heading south along the way, and will arrive in four days at the earliest.

The morale in the military-controlled area is rapidly plummeting to a desperate level. Even the general's emergency announcement to double the food ration and provide soldiers with cigarettes and alcohol has not been able to stop the falling morale.

A few hours after the regiment withdrew, a staff officer disintegrated himself with a pistol in the bathroom.

The loss rate of this staff member's army was as high as 75%, and he felt that he had no face to face his brothers again.

There could never have been a worse time for a terrible silence to hang over Fort Clavels.

No, there are worse times than this.

After opening the order of unlimited distribution, the general immediately ordered that the quartermaster distribute all weapons and arm all civilians who can be armed, and reorganize a counterattack tomorrow.

When the general gave this order, everyone thought the general was crazy.

"Everyone listen to me!

Believe me, I implore you, we must. "

Under the pressure of high-intensity mental exhaustion and various negative emotions in the past ten days, Dina, who was already on the verge of collapse, saw an emotionally out-of-control staff officer pull out his own gun at the general.

"Thug chug."

The guards moved even faster, and the staff officer was sieved by bullets before he could pull the trigger.

"Dak Sim." The general looked at the staff officer who intended to assassinate him lying in a pool of blood, and he felt sad from the heart.

This is the first staff officer to publicly support himself, and he is also a die-hard supporter of himself.

The general waved his hand wearily, and he said to all the panicked people: "Rest today, and follow the order tomorrow."

At this moment, the mobile phone in the general's arms rang, and he quickly walked out while pressing the mobile phone.

Walking to the officer's lounge opposite the staff room, the general bit his tongue hard with his teeth to cheer himself up, and then he connected the phone.

"Hello, sir.

Yes, our attack suffered a bit of a setback.

Please rest assured that I am organizing a second offensive.We will do our best.

yes, sir. "

After hanging up the phone, the general squatted on the ground in pain with his head in his hands.

Oh, God!Why is this, why is this!
