Doomsday group favorite: I will win with my three brothers

Chapter 233 Preparations before the War

The team leader readily handed over the energy crystal.

The city defense army asked curiously, "Why are you back?" Aren't you going to the capital base?
The leader knew that his behavior of deserting the battlefield was inappropriate. In order to win the favor of the city defense army, he told the whole story without hiding anything: "We saw the car of yesterday's team on the way!"

The city defense troops put away their joking expressions and listened carefully.

"I saw it from a distance, and I felt something was wrong, so I immediately stopped the convoy and sent someone to check it out. It turned out that all the people were gone, with only skeletons left. I was the only one who reacted quickly. I immediately thought that after the zombies ate the people, they would just hang around nearby. How could they just leave so cleanly? Where did the zombies go? Where could they go? No matter where they were, it was definitely not a good thing."

The tour leader spoke like a storyteller, with great emotion and passion.

"Fortunately, we reacted quickly. As soon as we got in the car, a bunch of zombies suddenly stood up on both sides of the road ahead. They had been lying in the pit beside the national highway before, so I couldn't see them! When they stood up, I was so scared that I turned around and ran! No one in the convoy cared about anyone else. Whoever fell behind would be beaten. All the cars behind were gone! Look, they were fine when we left, but when we came back, only these few cars were left. We might as well have stayed at the base! Alas!"

The leader let out a long sigh.

The city defense army waved their hands, signaling them to quickly enter the base. At the same time, they waved to call a soldier and asked him to report back to the barracks exactly what happened here.

Zhao Shiyun soon heard about this matter.

He went back to the villa specially to hear Gao Jue's opinion.

"Is there a possibility that the zombies have surrounded the base and are narrowing the encirclement?"

"Then they shouldn't be able to see the cars of the people who escaped before!" If the encirclement is shrinking, the vehicles of the first group of people who escaped should be outside the encirclement.

"Bait! Trick the convoy into stopping so they can hunt. If the convoy whizzes past, their encirclement will be too large and too thin, and they may not be able to stop it." Gao Jue guessed.

But Zhao Lexi listened and felt that this was the case.

"The Beicang base is in the north of T City. A large number of zombies should be coming from the south of the base."

Zhao Lexi listened to Zhao Shiyun's analysis and nodded repeatedly.

"The Capital Base is to the north of the Beicang Base. The convoy fled northward. Logically, they shouldn't have encountered zombies controlled by control-type zombies. But obviously, they didn't encounter ordinary zombies, but zombies that knew how to ambush. I would rather believe that these zombies were controlled by control-type zombies. Otherwise, the zombies' IQ is too scary."

"If a control zombie can control such a long distance, it means it is very powerful now! It is even possible that it has started planning very early, allowing some zombies to quietly move north to form an encirclement, and then slowly shrink it, determined to catch us all in one fell swoop."

Zhao Lexi thought, this zombie is much smarter than me.

Zhao Shiyun leaned back on the sofa, looking grim: "The city defense forces have been keeping an eye on the zombies in the south. In two days, they will be able to get within a thousand meters of the base. The outer wall is too low. There is not enough material in such a short time, and there is no time to raise it higher."

"Tear down all the earthen stoves." After Gao Jue finished speaking, Zhao Shiyun suddenly opened his eyes. Why didn't he remember it?

I couldn't help but ask, "What else?" "Gather all the earth-type evolved humans and gold-type evolved humans in the base, first raise the wall to three meters, and then thicken it as thick as possible. However, I suggest directly reinforcing the inner wall, and abandon the outer wall at any time." The earth wall built by the earth-type evolved humans is not strong, but it will be much better if metal is mixed in.

Zhao Shiyun did not say anything. He had considered recruiting all the earth-type and gold-type evolved humans in the base to raise and reinforce the walls, but this process was difficult and encountered many obstacles, including those from the evolved humans, the city defense forces, and Lin Youchang. Recruiting evolved humans costs more energy crystals than buying building materials!

But now that the lives of the survivors of the entire base are hanging by a thread, this proposal can indeed be brought up again.

"As for the second-floor wall, since there isn't enough building material to raise it, we can lower the ground!"

Zhao Shiyun's eyes lit up, good idea!
He stood up immediately: "Thank you. I'll arrange it right away."

After that, he left in a hurry. Half an hour later, Gao Xun said to Liu Yang, "You should leave now."

Liu Yang, the earth-type evolved human with special abilities, understood what he meant. He took the vitality grass given to him by Zhao Lexi and his own energy crystal with him, and walked towards the wall without waiting for the base to call him.

Gao Xun stood up and said, "Let's go too!"

The Zhao brothers, the Gao brothers, and Xingfu Wang Wei Hui all stood up. Zhao Lexi asked curiously, "Brother, where are you going?"

"Go dig a ditch."

After that, the six people left in a hurry. Not only the Gemini Mercenaries, but all the young and strong men in the base were doing their best to raise the inner wall and deepen the trench of the outer wall.

As for Shangguan Wei and Meng Qinghong, they worked overtime to make bombs. Even the two children were busy, either helping Meng Qinghong move things or helping Li Hong and others prepare meals.

Zhao Lexi was not idle either. She took advantage of the chaos to sneak out of the base and rushed directly into the zombie group, killing indiscriminately, trying to find the controlling zombie.

Gao Jue had reminded her that the zombie recognized her clothes and would not appear if it saw her. However, the drones at the base only dared to hover at high altitudes, so she felt that she could not see the specific situation of the zombies clearly. However, she still wore a hoodie and a mask to be on the safe side.

However, the zombie seemed to have disappeared without a trace, as if her last experience in City T was just an illusion. These zombies attacked the base because they were extremely hungry and there was no external force controlling them at all.

Two days later, seeing that the zombies were about to enter the range of the base's long-range weapons, Zhao Lexi finally gave up and returned to the base from the surveillance blind spot after dark. At this time, a two-meter-wide and three-meter-deep trench was dug outside the outer wall, which was enough to stop the low-level zombies, but zombies above level three could definitely not be prevented.

It has to be blocked by the inner wall.

The inner wall was originally three meters high, so Zhao Shiyun did not continue to raise it. Instead, he asked the evolved humans to widen the wall to two meters, ensuring that by standing on the wall, they could attack the zombies downwards, or kill the zombies that wanted to cross the wall on top of the wall, just like an ancient city wall.

The night was very quiet, but no one could sleep until the sound of artillery shells exploding came from far outside the base. The Gemini Mercenaries sat in the living room, listening quietly.

Gao Xun was wearing earmuffs on his ears, and the sound was too loud for him.
