The Last Plant Controller

Chapter 145: Critical Situation

If there are only three or two mice, they are nothing to the huge city wall.

But the problem is, when tens of thousands of zombie rats eat the city wall together, the scene is too scary. The deadly and penetrating sound is endless and can make everyone's scalp numb!

Seeing this scene, Major General Wu, who was in command, immediately realized the danger. The sharp claws and teeth of these zombie rats can even break through steel, let alone a city wall? If we let them chew on it, I'm afraid the walls of the base will completely collapse! However, these rats are right under the city wall and they are not very tall. It is not easy to hit them!

Incendiary bombs are of course the best solution, but unfortunately they are no longer available.

In desperation, the major general could only take a step back and chose to set fire near the city head.

"Hurry up, bring all the gasoline!"

Under the scolding of the officers, the soldiers in charge of logistics worked hard one by one. Afterwards, the gasoline that was finally obtained from Yu Xi was poured down in large buckets without hesitation. If the oil is gone, you can still find it. If the base is destroyed, it will be difficult to find it!

At least, there is no safer base in Andu Province.

A few minutes later, the fire burst into the sky again. Since the flames were burning close to the wall this time, the soldiers were tested at close range by the hot flames and the burning smell. Whenever the wind blows in the face, the temperature and unpleasant smell make people feel suffocating. Soon, in some places where the flames were the strongest, soldiers were burned and even suffered from dehydration and heatstroke. Some soldiers couldn't stand the smell and vomited so much that they couldn't be carried off.

"I'm going to go, what does this smell like? I strongly demand a gas mask!"

"It's so hot that my hair is burnt!"

There were constant complaints, but no soldier actually took a step back.

Before the battle started, the soldiers might have been fearful and hesitant, but once the fighting started, the wonderful atmosphere quickly made their blood boil, and they were determined to defend the base to the death!

The fire lasted for half an hour, and the temperature on the surface of the city wall once reached 50 or 60 degrees.

More than a thousand soldiers were carried down, and others who still had some fighting ability had to retreat temporarily. Fighting in a high temperature and stinky environment, people can easily become dehydrated and suffocated, and their physical strength and energy can also be lost very quickly. Fortunately, the replacement troops at the base quickly took over the position and did not give the zombies any chance!

When the flames gradually extinguished, a large number of charred corpses and gray-white powder appeared below.

Are all the zombie rats burned to death?

When some soldiers looked down from the city wall, they couldn't help but cheered excitedly when they saw no more zombie rats. In their opinion, there is no way that zombie rats could survive such high-temperature flames. After all, they do not have the terrifying defenses of third-level zombies!

After learning about this situation, officers and commanders at all levels breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the soldiers were obviously too happy!

Under their surprised gazes, some zombie rats came back from the zombies in the distance. What surprised them even more was that some zombie rats dug holes deep into the ground. After a while of soil heaving, these guys popped up again.

At this time, some soldiers remembered that as early as in the Andu base, zombie rats and pangolins had dug holes into the base together, and infected nearly a hundred people in succession during the night. In addition, these zombie rats seem to have inherited the cunning and instincts of their lives, and actually know how to run away when the flames are burning!

Now, as the temperatures cool down, these damn zombie rats are back out and gnawing away at the walls!

If this continues, the entire wall of the base will be destroyed by them!

"Set fire again!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Major General Wu could only use this less effective trick to delay time. Even if they can't kill all the zombie rats, as long as they can get rid of all the other zombies before they do evil, then it won't matter even if they really collapse the city wall!

His order was quickly carried out.

This time, the prepared soldiers were equipped with gas masks. Without that unbearable stench, even hot spots can last longer.

The fire close to the city wall burned three times in total, and thanks to the efforts of the soldiers, most of the zombies outside also fell. However, there are still at least half the zombie rats. They are constantly eating away at the city wall, and they are faster than anyone imagined! In half an hour at most, the entire city wall will collapse!

Before that, the place where the zombie elephant hit was only four or five meters wide.

At that time, the base paid a huge price to plug the gap. If the entire city wall collapsed now, the consequences would be unimaginable!

However, if this situation continues, the base might actually face that situation!

At this time, Major General Wu was a little undecided. He thought for a while and then asked Chen Gaoyang: "What should we do next?"

Chen Gaoyang also frowned and hesitated for a while before saying, "While the city wall hasn't fallen down, build a temporary defense line at the back. In addition, let everyone in the reserve brigade be ready. If it doesn't work, join the battle."

The reserve brigade he mentioned does not only refer to the one where Lin Chen is. After that brigade, the base successively formed two new reserve brigades, and the total number of the three parts added up to more than 17,000 people! These people are all between the ages of 20 and 40, and they have guns in their hands. Basically, they have gone out to fight zombies. In comparison, they are the most combat-capable part of the ordinary survivors in the base!

Seeing the crisis, Chen Gaoyang decided to officially activate them!

Of course, this time, the base has to use coercive means!

Under Chen Gaoyang's order, countless logistics personnel quickly set up a temporary defense line not far behind the city wall. The main means are nothing more than some brick and stone sandbags, as well as the defense fortification modules prepared by the military, which can be easily spliced ​​together. Although the effect against zombies is not obvious, it is better than nothing after all!

At the same time, the military also sent soldiers and began compulsory conscription according to the registered people.

As the first reserve brigade of the base, it is also a relatively more formal one. Lin Chen and his people are naturally the priority to be summoned.

"Gather at the designated location immediately in ten minutes, otherwise you will be treated as deserters. In special circumstances, the base can execute you directly!" The soldier said coldly and left directly, but no one would suspect that he was threatening!

"What does this mean? Aren't there about a million zombies outside?"

Before the end of the world, one million people was definitely a large number. But since the end of the world, there are more zombies to face, and Qian Xu has long been immune to such numbers. He said with some doubt: "With so few zombies, why would the military suddenly urgently summon soldiers? Can't they defend it?"

He didn't know about the existence of zombie rats, so he just inferred from the not too dense gunfire on the city wall. It seems that except for the excessive use of incendiary bombs, the others don't seem too dangerous.

"I don't know, but it doesn't look good."

Lin Chen listened to the noise caused by the conscription in the base for a while, and his face was slightly worried.

"No way? The third-level zombies should have been dispatched in that section just now? They couldn't take it down, could the base really be broken?" Liu Yi was a little unconvinced. He thought that maybe the base just wanted to give the reserve brigade a chance to try their hand.

"Time is too tight, I don't think so."

After saying that, Lin Chen pondered for a while, and changed into a military uniform and went out with Qian Xu. However, he did not forget to remind Shi Xuanxuan: "Load everything in the car, after all, there are many third-level zombies attacking outside. If the situation at the base is really bad, I will come back with Qian Xu in advance, so that we can get out as soon as possible!"

"I understand."

Shi Xuanxuan nodded. In fact, there was nothing to pack.

Except for the bed and a small amount of clothes and food, almost everything else was in the car. She could pack everything in five minutes at most.

After instructing Liu Yi to protect the two girls, Lin Chen and Liu Yi set off together. When they arrived, many people from the reserve brigade had already arrived. Not far ahead of them, countless logistics personnel were desperately building a second reserve defense line.

This immediately made Lin Chen realize something, and his heart began to sink.

Others also more or less thought of something, because if there was no reason, the military would never set up a second line of defense. There was obviously only one reason, that is, the city wall in front was about to fall!

As expected, as more and more people in the reserve brigade, the invisible pressure became greater and greater. After the establishment was almost complete, the military quickly gave them a brief account of the situation outside and their tasks.

"What, zombie rats?"

All the people in the reserve brigade were shocked when they learned the real situation outside. Some people's eyes wandered on the spot, as if they were considering escaping. Even Lin Chen and Qian Xu were shocked when they suddenly knew the news.

So it seems that the base is really likely to be breached?

"If things are impossible, the soldiers on the city wall will retreat here. Your task is to help them fight off the remaining zombies. You must not retreat half a step before the zombies are completely eliminated or there is no order from above. Everyone should cheer up. There are only 300,000 zombies outside. We will definitely be able to hold on!" The officer was still trying his best to cheer them up, but the effect was obviously not very good.

Almost ten minutes later, the military's efforts ended in failure.

Seeing that the city wall was already shaking and the foundation was unstable, the soldiers had to withdraw in advance. Lin Chen and a company under his command were also assigned to a small position. Perhaps they were lucky. The place they were assigned to was closer to the residential area, and it was not the first place to bear the pressure of zombies. Once something happened, it would be convenient for them to escape!

This does not mean that he only wanted to escape, but everyone thought so. If they had to stay here, it would be completely meaningless. (. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at (qidian.). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
