Chapter 169: Recapture City C, the base of the federal army

Looking at the Tang Heng Dao, which weighed one thousand, three hundred and eighty seven kilograms, Li Lin's fingers gently ran across the back of the knife. A cold touch came from the inside out, and an inexplicable murderous aura filled his heart.

After the laser meteorite was combined with the metallic mutated beast blood, earth-shaking changes took place. It not only increased the hardness, but also increased the density, making it more than five times more powerful than refined weapons.

The entire blade is 140 centimeters long, the blade is one meter long, the handle is 36 centimeters long, the blade is [-] centimeters wide, and the blade is [-] centimeters thick.

The dark red blade is covered with fine irregular dragon scales, the edge is a little golden, and there are blood grooves on both sides.

"Yan—"

Li Lin just waved his hand and felt a faint dragon roar in the air.

"Good knife!"

Li Lin was full of praise, "What a good knife."

As his strength grew, the original Zhanma Dao was no longer suitable. With his size and physique, the Tang Hengdao, which could be used with either one or both hands, was very suitable.

It is an imitation of the King's Blade tailor-made for him by Dr. Huang in Twilight Divide. Unfortunately, it lacks process and technical support and cannot have its own characteristics.

The only advantage is that it is hard and sharp enough, but it is enough for Li Lin.

It is precisely because of this that it was named the Broken King's Blade by Li Lin.

Compared with the previous dragon scale sword, this broken king's blade can easily cut off zombies with one sword, and it is even more effortless to kill ordinary zombies.

With this broken King's Blade, he is also qualified to compete with Steel Purgatory.

Looking at the remaining laser meteorite, Li Lin said: "Put the remaining materials into the treasure house of the city lord's palace."

In the treasure house of the city lord's palace, the price of a good refined weapon is [-] White Tiger Points, while Li Lin is prepared to set the price of the laser weapon at [-] points, which is five hundred times the price of the refined weapon.

Although no one can exchange it for the time being, it can stimulate others and give them a goal to strive for.

Laser meteorite is extremely precious, Li Lin gave it a corresponding value, and can reward it to his subordinates in the future.

He has never been a stingy person. If he gives, he will be rewarded.

Taking the dilapidated King's Blade with him, Li Lin rushed to the frontline battlefield of City C again. He wanted to test the sharpness of the weapon in his hand.

As time goes by, humans are getting stronger and zombies are also evolving. The original dragon scale knife is also riddled with holes due to his long-term use. He has to deal with increasingly stronger mutant zombies, especially when cutting the opponent's hard bone armor. There is an obvious sense of frustration.

In this situation, it is natural to reuse the stronger mutated beast blood to forge refined weapons.

Li Linren was too lazy to bother, and kept thinking about the King's Blade, his weapon in the Dusk Divide, so he did not replace it.

When encountering the Giant Ax Purgatory this time, everything naturally fell into place.

After killing for seven days and nights, Li Lin felt that the sword in his hand had no opponent.

Killing the enemy is like chopping melons and vegetables. There is no single enemy.

In the eight days of No. 20, the main urban area of ​​City C was recovered, leaving only some subordinate satellite towns still struggling.

During this period, Li Lin killed a large number of mutant zombies and ordinary zombies, and his level increased again.

"Name: Li Lin (Wind)"

"Level: 21 (13%)"

"Physique: 1962.8 (1958.8+4)"

"Strength: 1755 8"

"Agility: 1736.5"

"Spirit: 661"

……

When the level reached 21, the original increase of two free attribute points for each level increased to four points. The attribute increase after the upgrade was as he had guessed, which was one point and three times.

Now he has completely surpassed himself in the previous life, whether it is the four attributes or the true strength.

The main urban area of ​​City C was recovered, and three days later, all the satellite towns below City C were also recovered by the city guards. This news was sent back to Yulong City, and everyone was rejoicing.

Li Lin was not too excited about this.

Although a large number of mutant zombies were killed, some of the top mutant zombies still escaped from City C before he occupied it.

Just like the cunning and ferocious Split Sirius King that Li Lin had seen in Wannian Community.

Some Sirius guards had seen traces of it on the 15th day when they attacked City C, but now that City C has been completely recovered, there is no trace of it.

In this regard, Zhang Jie, who was in charge of the C City operations, gave two answers.

First, some mutated zombies developed autonomous consciousness and chose to escape in the face of the unstoppable Sirius Guards.

Second, they sensed danger and hid.

Underground in City C, there are a large number of underground caves extending in all directions. They were once the city's main transportation, subway lines and high-speed rail lines.

As Aquamarine Star fissured, some of the caves collapsed and became blocked, but some were getting bigger and bigger.

The cave is dark and deep, and I don't know where it leads.

Regarding these caves, the Sirius Guards currently do not have much energy to explore, nor do they want to explore.

Zhang Jie personally took people down to investigate, and there were traces of zombies inside, but the further inside, the more depressing and breathless it became.

Moreover, the structure of these caves is very unstable. Once a battle breaks out, there is a great possibility that they will collapse immediately.

In response, Li Lin just asked people to seal all these caves.

A month of continuous fighting has made the Sirius Guards extremely exhausted, and there is no need for him to pressure them to continue taking risks.

Although it is a major hidden danger if not solved now, why not leave it to the Adventurer's Guild as a small copy?
He only needs to publish the task in the Adventurer's Guild. Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, and there will naturally be adventurers willing to explore.

And Li Lin had a feeling that although there were zombies in those underground caves, cunning and ferocious mutated zombies with a certain degree of autonomy like the Sky Wolf King might not be in these caves.

They must have escaped!
For them, since they know how to seek good luck and avoid disaster, they should know that hiding in the cave will only lead to death. Apart from causing a little trouble for Jade Dragon City, it has no meaning.

Therefore, if they are really smart, they will choose to escape instead of hiding in the cave and letting the Jade Dragon City urn catch turtles.

The news from the Sirius Guard in the next few days also confirmed Li Lin's idea. In other directions, several survivor camps near City C were suddenly attacked by mutant zombies.

"City Lord, many survivor camps around City C have been attacked by mutant zombies."

Zhang Jie reported the latest news to Li Lin, "According to statistics, there are about sixty in number, and then those mutated zombies escaped from the survivor camps."

"Don't worry about the mutated zombies for now. Let them escape. We will meet them again in the future."

Li Lin asked casually: "How are those survivor camps? How big are they?"

Zhang Jie said: "These survivor camps range from large to small, and the number of survivors ranges from dozens to 2000 or [-]."

After a pause, Zhang Jie added: "But we heard that there is a camp composed of federal troops in F City. They have recaptured several nearby cities and have nearly 200 million survivors under their command."

"Because of their existence, there are no large-scale survivor camps on the other side of City C, only some small-scale survivor camps."

"200 people?"

There was no expression on Li Lin's face, which made people unpredictable. "Let someone inform them to put down their weapons and surrender. If they join Jade Dragon City, they can obtain the official status of Jade Dragon City."

"If you don't want to, wait until we take action, and then the outcome will be decided by me."

Zhang Jie nodded, "Then I'll go there myself."

He knew what Li Lin meant, it was like this back in the Hawkeye Club.

By laying down your weapons and surrendering, you not only get a chance to survive, but you can also flex your muscles in the subsequent Yulong Mountain base.

Those old people from the Hawkeye Club days, those who are dead are not counted, and those who are alive are all leaders of the upper class.

Especially the current four powerful people under Li Lin in Yulong City, Wei Ya, Guo Peng, Chen Jie, and Zhang Jie, are all old people from the Hawkeye Club.

Those who are strong and ambitious are the commanders of the Sirius Guards; those who are less powerful and want stability are the commanders of the City Guards; if they are not strong and have poor cultivation talents, Li Lin will also transfer them to the logistics department to work under Wei Ya. use.

At first they were forced to surrender due to hunger and the pressure brought by Li Lin, but now they have good results.

And those who disobeyed were all killed by Li Lin.

Many people admired them very much. They said that the elite of the small Hawkeye Club gathered together and were full of talents. With their support, Li Lin's strong rise was possible.

But they knew that all of this was Li Lin's credit and had nothing to do with them.

They just made the most correct choice at the most critical time, giving themselves more and better opportunities.

Life and death, wealth and future are all in a single thought.

Whenever he thinks back on what happened this year, Zhang Jie is extremely grateful to himself for making the right choice.

It was also because of the correct choice that he made that he has his current status.

Liu Tao, the son of the chairman of Jinhua Group, is extremely powerful in C City, and is the most distinguished guest of the Hawk Eye Club. Even when Xu Youyou led the Hawk Eye Club, he was polite to him and did not embarrass him.

But because he couldn't understand the situation clearly, he was crushed to death by Li Lin like an ant.

This is the end times.

The powerful are worthless, they are just ants.

……

F City.

A large conference room was filled with smoke and filled with more than 20 men of various ages.

The younger one is in his early 20s and has a childish look on his face; the older one has gray hair on his temples and is full of wrinkles.

Although they are of different ages, they possess the unique strength, uprightness, tenacity and courage of soldiers, not to mention the chilling and iron-clad aura.

"We have collected some simple information about the sudden appearance of Jade Dragon City."

Sitting at the top, a middle-aged man who was over fifty but still energetic looked at the people at the conference table, his eyes flashing like an old wolf, "Xiao Jing, you are responsible for this matter. Please explain it to everyone in detail." Tell me what the specific situation is?"

A young man in his 30s who was sitting third behind him said, "Commander Li, this Jade Dragon City is not simple."

Li Quan looked at the man, "Why is this not a simple method?"

"Everyone has seen the situation in City C. The concentration of zombies inside can be said to be mind-numbing."

Xiao Jing said: "Ordinary zombies are okay, but the number of mutated zombies inside is also a very scary number."

"We currently have two main methods of dealing with mutated zombies, explosive traps and specially-made large-caliber sniper rifles."

"Traps combined with explosives are extremely harmful to mutant zombies, but as mutant zombies get stronger and stronger, they become less and less easy to be fooled."

"There are also large-caliber sniper rifles. Now their perception of danger is getting stronger and stronger. Our snipers just took aim, and they noticed it and quickly escaped to counterattack."

"Especially the day before yesterday, more than 20 mutated zombies broke through our defense line. We were unable to organize an effective defense at all and could only let them kill and escape." "But in the face of this situation, the so-called Jade Dragon City C is the city that can directly wipe out tens of millions of zombies."

"This all proves that they are much better than us."

"But the most important thing is, how are they better than us? Have they mastered new technology, or have they mastered some power that we don't know about?"

After a pause, Xiao Jing continued: "So, everyone here, we should think carefully about what to do next? How to face this menacing neighbor?"

"The end of the world has come, heaven and earth have changed, and everything has changed."

After Xiao Jing finished speaking, Li Quan also looked solemn, "Our federal army no longer has absolute dominance."

The great changes that took place in City C made them quite uneasy. Twenty or so powerful mutated zombies forced their way through their defensive positions, causing them heavy losses.

Faced with this sudden change, they naturally sent people to investigate.

But the result they got surprised them. City C was reoccupied by a human force called Yulong City.

The mutated zombies passed in front of their position and fled for their lives.

When they heard the news, they were excited, shocked, and of course worried.

The federal army suffered a huge impact at the beginning of the end of the world. Only a few thousand of the more than [-] troops stationed in F City survived.

Relying on the high quality and discipline of the federal army, although there were only a few thousand scattered troops, they still persisted.

The federal army's camp was already in the wild, with a large number of walls and defensive buildings, which greatly eased the first wave of zombie onslaught.

As long as they block the first wave of impact and allow them to recover, they can rely on familiar defense positions and use the weapons in their hands to eat away at the zombies in the military camp bit by bit.

There are a large number of weapons and food reserves in the military camp, and they have an absolute advantage in fighting a protracted war.

But the heavy rain one month after the end of the world dealt a devastating blow to the original military warehouses, and only a few warehouses built on the highlands were saved.

By the time the more than [-] zombies in the general camp were cleared away, more than a month had passed. Only then did they begin to take back the towns around the military camp step by step.

F City has a population of more than 900 million, so there are naturally a lot of zombies, but no matter how many there are, there are not as many as City C.

They still relied on positional warfare and sparrow warfare to disperse the zombies and defeat them one by one.

It only took them four months to recapture the entire territory of F City.

And they also recruited new recruits from the survivors to train and set out to recapture other cities.

But facing the increasingly powerful mutated zombies, they had no other choice but to use traps, explosives, and special large-caliber sniper rifles.

Now more than a year has passed, and the threat from explosive traps to mutated zombies is getting smaller and smaller.

Until now, their base has been bottlenecked, and few new towns have been captured.

They even dared not touch City C, where mutated zombies were infested, for fear of dragging this emerging base to death.

Now they suddenly discovered that City C, which they had been avoiding, had been recaptured. The mutated zombies inside did not even dare to fight each other, but chose to abandon the city and escape.

Who is this Jade Dragon City, and what kind of powerful means does it have?
And the most important thing is that they can deal with tens of millions of zombies in City C, so it will probably be easy to deal with them.

They know about Jade Dragon City, and I am afraid that Jade Dragon City also knows about their F base.

What is their attitude towards Base F?

These are all issues that need to be considered by them.

Wang Chenghao looked serious, "Commander Li, I suggest that we send out manpower to proactively contact them. No matter what the other party thinks, we can at least keep the initiative in our hands."

"Initiative?"

Li Quan shook his head, "We don't have the initiative to face the zombies in City C, and I'm afraid we won't have the initiative to face this Jade Dragon City."

"Commander Li, how will you know if you don't try?"

Wang Chenghao continued: "No matter what the opponent's background is, as long as he is still a human being, we will not have no chance to give it a try. At worst, we will fight to the death."

Understanding what the other party meant, a glint flashed in Li Quan's eyes, "Then let's test their attitude first."

The end of the world has come, mountains and rivers are broken, the federal government has ended, dragons and snakes have risen, and some ambitious people have emerged.

The nearby survivor camps with dozens or hundreds of people are like this. They would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

When the end of the world comes, everyone wants to stand out, dominate, and live in prosperity.

It's just that he didn't look down on those small forces in the past. If they are placed around them, they can also play a certain warning role and buffer against the dangers outside.

But now facing the behemoth of Jade Dragon City, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

……

F base front line.

"Who are you?"

Looking at a small team, more than ten people were walking from the direction of City C. The soldiers responsible for security patrols were holding rifles in front of them, and there were dozens of weapons pointed at them in some hidden places.

Zhang Jie said loudly: "We are coming from Jade Dragon City. You go and inform the person in charge of our base, and we will come and talk to him."

"Jade Dragon City?"

When Zhang Jie announced his home address, the soldier who jumped out to warn him couldn't help but change his expression, and then shouted loudly: "You guys wait, we will notify the lieutenant colonel to come over."

Zhang Jie didn't say anything. He just turned around and looked at Li Lin. Seeing that he didn't express anything, he didn't say anything more.

For large-scale survivor camps, Li Lin has always advocated courtesy first and then attack. The same is true for F base with a population of 200 million.

Moreover, he was also worried that Zhang Jie's strength would not be able to control the situation and weaken the momentum of Jade Dragon City.

It would be a bit embarrassing if we hit the younger one and then the older one.

Instead of doing this, it would be better for him to go directly and solve all the problems at once.

Killing is definitely necessary, but how much to kill and who to kill all need to have a degree or no degree.

The federal army has the power, glory and wealth above the temple, and they will not give up their status easily.

Only he can decide on the appropriate terms of exchange.

In just 3 minutes, a middle-aged man in his 30s came running from behind, "Are you from Jade Dragon City?"

Zhang Jie knew that Li Lin didn't want to talk, so he took the initiative to stand up and said, "I am Zhang Jie, and I serve as the left commander of the Heavenly Wolf Guard in Jade Dragon City."

"Sirius Guard Zuo Shuai?"

Wu Jun looked at Zhang Jie. He had dark skin, but he was energetic and his eyes were bright. "My name is Wu Jun. I am the lieutenant colonel in charge of this defensive position. Are you here?"

They knew that there was very little information on Jade Dragon City, and they had no idea what the position of Commander Zuo of the Heavenly Wolf Guard was.

"Perhaps you don't know what Sirius Guard Zuo Shuai means."

Zhang Jie introduced himself again, "Currently we have more than 30 troops in Yulong City, and I am in charge of one third!"

It wasn't that he was pretending on purpose, but that he didn't want to waste time.

One-third of Jade Dragon City's army seemed very powerful, but standing beside him was the Lord of Jade Dragon City, who was just an errand boy today.

"Controlling one-third of the army?"

Wu Jun swallowed quietly and said quickly: "I will contact the F base headquarters right away."

He now knows how valuable Commander Zuo of Tianlang Guard is. He is simply not comparable to him, a lieutenant colonel who is ranked a hundred or so in Base F.

As the person in charge of the frontline defense position, he naturally would not let Li Lin and others wait here, and politely invited Li Lin and others to the frontline headquarters.

Wu Jun wanted to find out some useful information, "Zhang Zuoshuai, how long did it take you to recover City C?"

"One month."

Zhang Jie said: "If it weren't for the lack of space, it would be faster."

Wu Jun asked again: "What about your casualties?"

Zhang Jie said: "230 seven people died in the battle."

Wu Jun was even more surprised, "So few?"

"We are not afraid of corpse poison, and casualties will naturally be small."

Zhang Jie said casually: "For you, you have to fight carefully, but for us it's easy."

The situation was indeed as he said. The casualties in this battle were really insignificant compared with the results achieved.

The city lord's personal guards are responsible for dealing with the powerful mutant zombies, and the ordinary Sirius guards only need to clean up some ordinary zombies.

If it were just ordinary zombies, the Sirius Guards would have an absolute advantage by using obstacles.

And because they are not afraid of corpse poison, they can fight with confidence.

Inviting people from Yulong City to the office, Wu Jun quickly reported the situation to the people above him on the phone.

Five minutes later, Wu Jun appeared in front of Li Lin and others again, "Commander Li knows that you are coming and asks you to go to Base F for interviews."

Sitting in the car on the way to Base F, Li Lin watched the scenery outside quickly pass by.

Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people. When the end of the world comes, food is the most urgent thing.

Base F is well managed, with various agricultural plans and food planting.

It's just that compared to Yulong City's more reasonable village structure, F Base is a little chaotic.

He could see that most of the survivors in Base F had disheveled faces, their clothes were in tatters, and there was no hope for the future in their eyes. They all looked like walking zombies.

It seems that the happiness index of the survivors in F base is not high. The survivors inside do not see hope for the future in the federal army.

This is indeed the case. Those in power only treat the people as shepherds, but they do not really love the people like their own children.

Li Lin is like this, and so is the federal army.

It's just that Li Lin has absolute authority and pays attention to absolute fairness.

But in the federal army, the inherent interpersonal relationships have not been completely torn apart. Everything is more about a balance, layer by layer, all kinds of people, sophistication and cunning calculations.

Also later on, internal strife broke out in Base F, breaking the inherent power structure. Finally, a new class ruled Base F and led Base F to a new ending.

When Li Lin was reborn, Base F still existed and was the largest survivor city near City C.

It's just that the situation is already precarious, and it's estimated that it won't last long.
