Doomsday magician

Chapter 196
A piece of bad news came from all directions, causing a headache for the front-line commander of the central army.

Before leaving, he thought that his plan this time should be successfully completed, and then he was destined to be engraved in history.Unfortunately, there seems to be something wrong with the direction of the script.After experiencing the initial smooth sailing, their army encountered unprecedented powerful sniping in this inconspicuous place of Jiecao.The zombies seemed to be killing endlessly, making countless soldiers lose confidence in victory, because there were too many of them.

And what caused all of this was the kind of sentient zombie that just appeared recently.

Had we known this earlier, the central government should have dispatched an army in advance.It's a pity that the high-level executives had to wait for the S team to take shape because they were worried about the third-order zombies.It's a pity that the probability of success in training is too low. After so much effort, there are only more than 20 people in total, which is not enough.The frontline commander thought so, and couldn't help but focus his resentment on that perceiving zombie.If it weren't for them, I should have joined forces with the people from the Shanghai base by now.

Damn it.

If breakthrough progress cannot be made within a day and a half, this plan may come to an end.If I just go back like this, I am afraid that my position will be a little unstable.Those who have been coveting for a long time will definitely find a way to get rid of him.With this in mind, the front-line commander couldn't help but also put in the final reserve team.He demanded that at all costs, the road ahead should be forcibly opened.

As long as you can win, even if the final loss is bigger, that's nothing.

But he didn't know that it was his somewhat reckless order that caused this huge expeditionary force to suffer heavy losses and was almost completely wiped out here.

Outside Jiecao County, somewhere in the zombie army.

A zombie with a third-level perception is excitedly slaughtering a few survivors hiding in the outskirts of the county. They didn't get the action of the central government to conquer the Beijing-Shanghai line before, and they didn't have time to escape. Unfortunately, they were surrounded by tens of thousands of zombies. is on.

In this case, even Xu Bai couldn't escape, let alone a few ordinary people?

After killing all these unlucky guys, the third-level perception zombies seem to be satisfied.It roared to the sky, and actually started to evolve again.Filtrations of red threads gushed out of its body, interweaving a layer of blood-red peculiar skin on its body surface and head.

The surrounding zombies seem to be very afraid of this guy, and the nearest third-order giant zombie is 30 meters away from it.

This third-level sensory zombie was originally in a small village on the east side of the Beijing-Shanghai line.As early as when the nuclear weapon explosion in Jining spawned a third-order zombie, it was already a third-order mutant zombie.

Not long ago, it suddenly mutated and became the current third-level perception zombie.

Later, the central government's plan to subdue the Beijing-Shanghai line was introduced.This zombie in the third-order perception domain was alarmed, driving a large number of zombies to attack the army at the central base.As a result of killing a large number of survivors and even eating two wild beastmen, this third-level sensory zombie with an already extremely high evolution rate gradually evolved into a fourth-level zombie.

This speed is more than half a year faster than the appearance of the fourth-order zombies under normal conditions.

The evolution of the third-level sensory zombie is still continuing, and it stands there motionless.The color of the body surface became more and more red, and the aura on the body became more and more fierce and powerful.It's a pity that the military has no satellites, and high-altitude reconnaissance planes and helicopters are also afraid of a large number of zombie birds, so they dare not send them out.Otherwise, if you see the scene in front of you and use missiles to strike directly, it will definitely have a wonderful effect.

It's a pity that the energy in this third-level sensory zombie is not enough to support the completed evolution because it has been catalyzed too much.The whole process was almost [-]% complete, but it stopped at the last moment.

If successful, the horns on its head should become larger and form a pair.

The current situation is that the original horn on the zombie's head has swelled a lot.But the newly appeared horns only showed a little bit, and then they were powerless.The quasi-fourth-order zombie turned around in a hurry, and finally could only roar angrily to the sky to vent its anger.

Compared with the intelligence of the third-order zombie, its intelligence is undoubtedly stronger, and it has already vaguely understood the preliminary thinking.

Evolution failed, of course it knew it was not good for itself.And once it doesn't evolve this time, it will be even more difficult to evolve again in the future.Therefore, it wantonly vented its anger, and the awe of the high-level zombies against the low-level zombies also made the surrounding zombies retreat further and further.

However, even though it failed to complete the final evolution, its strength is still far from that of the third-level perception zombies.

The most important point is that the second-order and third-order zombies can only guide the surrounding zombies.But it can forcibly control the surrounding zombies and turn them into its own subordinates.

Among the tens of millions of zombies that besieged Jiecao County, only one of them embarked on the path of evolution to the quasi-fourth level.Therefore, no zombie can compete with it for control of the zombie army.After venting for a while, the blood-red monster finally began to control all the subordinates it could control, and began to frantically attack the troops at the central base.

There is a complete command, and the third-order zombies fight on their own instincts are completely two concepts.Even this quasi-tier-[-] zombie has only so much intelligence, but it is enough to change the situation of the battle.

Moreover, the quasi-fourth-level zombies also know that they will learn a lot of wisdom.

As a result, the army at the central base suddenly found that the pressure they were under was increasing.Zombies from all walks of life seemed to have taken a stimulant, attacking wave after wave, with almost no time left for them.What's more, the third-rank Min zombies are also completely grouped together, and they use every means to attack the weak points of the army.

This tactic already has the meaning of attacking the enemy by surprise.

Caught off guard, several lines of defense were breached one after another.Under the command of the quasi-tier-[-] zombie, the surrounding zombie army quickly followed up and swarmed up from the gap, exerting tremendous pressure on the defense line and soldiers inside.

All of a sudden, news of emergencies and requests for support flew to the headquarters where the frontline commander was located.

"Don't worry, this is just the last madness of the zombies!" Although the commander-in-chief at the front line felt a little bad, he still had great confidence in the strength of his army, and the consequences of the failure of the plan also prompted him to continue to take risks: "Let the two wings shrink the defense line, and the rear team is transferred to the front line. It is necessary to break through the zombies blocking the front in one fell swoop and join the troops at the Shanghai base."

He wanted to concentrate his strength and launch the strongest attack.

Of course, to put it another way, he's going to put all his eggs in one basket.

The quasi-fourth-level perceptual zombie seems to have noticed this, and it made the most correct response with the intelligence and instinct it evolved.Under its control, the zombies in front retreated slowly, while the zombies on the two wings concentrated their strength to attack.And the most important Tier [-] zombies are inserted directly from the already empty back line, dealing the deadliest blow to the exhausted central base army.

Seeing hope, the frontline commander kept urging his subordinates to press up, and the continuous breakthroughs seemed to prove his decision was correct—the zombies were going to be overwhelmed.

It's a pity that when the sniping zombies in front of them were pushed to the final speed, the power and speed of the zombies suddenly became firmer.The tanks and armored vehicles at the front almost crushed the corpses of countless zombies and rushed forward, but there were still more zombies coming up one after another.Moreover, from time to time, more zombies will come to support them from other places.The soldiers could break through the defense line of the zombies, but the last line just couldn't.

Why is this happening?

The soldiers on the front line experienced hope, then numbness, and finally began to despair.After going through a long battle, the high morale they had when they first came out has almost been worn away.After fighting on this last line of defense for so long, I no longer have the belief to persevere.

At the same moment, the third-tier zombies rushing up from the empty defense line also started to rampage as if they had entered an uninhabited land.

"Help!"

"Encountered a third-order zombie attack, request to dispatch the K team!"

Just when the front-line commanders and headquarters thought they could break through with more effort, the sudden attack and request for help on the rear line broke their dream.At the beginning, the frontline commander tried to ignore the fatal blow from the quasi-fourth-order zombie.But soon, a large number of casualties and even collapse made him unable to sit still.

However, the pressure was too strong before, leaving no behind.When the commander wanted to make up for it again, he found that he couldn't mobilize enough combat power for a while.

At the same time, the zombies on both wings launched their final attack, and this round of attack became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel.

The so-called army was defeated like a mountain. In an instant, thousands of soldiers were swallowed by zombies, and the whole situation was in chaos.

"How could this be?"

Not only him, even other soldiers and officers had such doubts.Although the people in the headquarters tried their best to coordinate, they could barely maintain the defense line for a while, and then it was difficult to continue.

The cruel reality made the frontline commander finally wake up. He realized that it was impossible to complete the plan to conquer the Beijing-Shanghai line.Not only that, what he has to consider now is how to withdraw.If decisive measures cannot be taken, I am afraid that the more than [-] troops that are already on the verge of complete collapse will all be accounted for here.

You know, more than half of the military power of the central base is here.If it is wiped out by zombies like this, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the central base.

Whether it's for the base or for himself, he must bring the troops back as much as possible.

Thinking of this, the frontline commander no longer hesitated.Although he made the mistake of underestimating the enemy and self-willedness before, he is still quite good.After realizing that there was nothing to be done, he quickly calmed down, began to issue retreat orders one by one, and cruelly asked the five divisions to stay as the rear troops.He has no way to think about how many of these people will survive in the end.Now, getting out from the zombie horde is the most important thing.

After a fierce battle, with the support of the will to survive, the soldiers finally rushed out of Jiecao County along the same route.

At this time, the original army of more than 17 was less than [-], and a large amount of arms and supplies were abandoned everywhere.

Even though this army had killed countless zombies, it was still brilliant in terms of battle results.But the most critical goal, to conquer the Beijing-Shanghai line, was not achieved.If the expected fundamental goal cannot be achieved, it will be useless to kill more zombies.The central base spent so much material and effort for this operation, it was not for them to go out and provoke zombies to play.

However, even knowing this, the battle situation is almost a foregone conclusion.It is impossible to change in a short time.

The frontline commanders knew this, so they could only sadly return to the central base with the severely injured expeditionary force.And at this moment, it was also the time when the fourth brother went out to find Xu Bai.

The news that the army of the central base had returned without success was not covered up. The major bases and survivors along the route quickly got the first-hand news, and gradually spread it through various channels.At this time, the quasi-fourth-level sensory zombie that had just evolved had already entangled with the remaining nearly ten million zombies and began to sweep around.
