next morning.
The survivors in the base slowly walked out of the tent and rubbed their eyes. They were surprised to find that the city gate was filled with various armored vehicles and jeeps.
These vehicles formed a tight circle, closely protecting a RV at the center of the circle.
Around the vehicle, many fully armed soldiers were busy carrying boxes of ammunition.
Despite their large number, they moved quickly and orderly. The whole scene was unusually quiet, without a single sound. It was obvious that they were all well-trained people.
The city walls were also filled with such soldiers. They were setting up heavy machine guns on the walls and carefully adjusting the ammunition boxes neatly placed next to them.
"When did so many soldiers arrive here? We didn't even know it!" someone exclaimed.
"Maybe it was last night, I vaguely heard some car noises, but I didn't dare to go out to check the situation at that time." Another person recalled.
"It seems that they are preparing to deal with the upcoming zombie horde. Look at the weapons and equipment they carry, they are much more sophisticated than those of the soldiers in our base!" someone else echoed.
"That's right. Look over there. There are even small artillery pieces!"
"That's a mortar!"
"Haha, since we have such powerful support, we should be safe, right?" someone guessed optimistically.
"You can't say that. Who knows how the battle will develop? In any case, we will have to give it our all when the time comes." Someone immediately expressed a different opinion.
"The fight is about to start, so don't just stand there, let's rush up and throw stones to kill those disgusting monsters!"
____________
The temperature dropped sharply today, as if we had entered early winter overnight.
Yesterday morning, the temperature was as high as 30c, but today it dropped by at least 20c.
Many survivors were awakened by the cold in their sleep and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
There were also many people who were not well fed and had weak bodies who froze to death at night. In the tent area, soft sobbing could be heard everywhere; those were the cries of grief over the death of their family members.
Many staff members wearing protective clothing were moving the corpses out and placing them under the city wall. Special circumstances required special treatment. When the base could no longer hold on, these corpses might be thrown to the zombies as bait to buy time for humans.
Because of the sudden drop in temperature, Chen Bufan and several women put on the windbreaker sets they won from the system lottery. They were not cold at all, probably because they were used to it.
When Li Wenyin and the others appeared in front of everyone, they instantly attracted many people's attention. They were a group of top beauties, and it would be a loss if you didn't take a look at them.
"Brother Chen, you guys are much better than us. No wonder you can kill so many zombies!" Li Tianhai looked at the mortar that was being debugged on the side of the city wall with envy, his eyes flashing with desire.
Chen Bufan smiled nonchalantly and said casually: "Don't be envious. After this matter is over, I can give you a few."
"Hahaha! Thank you so much!" Li Tianhai immediately smiled happily.
However, at this moment, Wang Dahai suddenly shouted: "Here it comes!!"
"Damn it! You little brat! You're screaming! You almost scared me to death!" Li Tianhai was originally happy, but he was frightened by his shout.
On the distant horizon, an astonishing number of zombies were slowly moving towards the base.
They looked particularly spectacular under the gloomy sky, as if a well-organized army was about to attack the city.
Chen Bufan once tried to guide the swarm of zombies to other places, but it turned out that this was not feasible.
Perhaps because there are so many people around the base, only the zombies close to them will follow them, while the zombies behind them will automatically gather towards the base.
Apparently, these zombies can smell humans from a long distance.
Many strong survivors stood on the city wall, looking at the horde of zombies in the distance, and the tense atmosphere became increasingly intense.
Many people were so frightened that they could not control their bodies and were shaking uncontrollably, and some even began to suffer from incontinence.
But no one laughed at them at this moment, because everyone was trying their best to endure the fear in their hearts.
Li Tianhai admired Chen Bufan and others. Without the protection of city walls, they dared to face hundreds of thousands of zombies and launched a blocking battle. These people were undoubtedly brave and fearless characters.
Chen Bufan and his gang didn't show any change of expression, instead they looked at the group of zombies with great interest. They had seen much more terrible scenes than this. With such a high city wall, all they needed was guns.
It was a distance of more than a thousand meters, and the zombies took a long time to walk halfway.
"Bang...bang...bang...bang...bang"
Suddenly, there was a loud earth-shaking noise, deafening like a bolt from the blue.
The people on the city wall who were concentrating on observing the group of zombies were frightened by the sudden loud noise and instinctively bent down with horror on their faces.
The loud noise continued as if there was no end, and it was uninterrupted.
People looked around in panic, shouting, "What the hell?"
"Fuck! You scared me!"
"What's going on? What happened?"
The city wall suddenly fell into chaos, but soon, when bursts of explosions were heard in the distance, they suddenly realized that it was artillery fire!
For a moment, the survivors felt their blood boiling.
This kind of spectacular scene is not something that ordinary people can easily witness on a daily basis.
They clung to the city wall tightly, looking anxiously towards the explosion site in the distance.
Every time a shell landed, you could see the zombies' limbs being blown high into the air and scattering in the air.
"Whoa!!"
“Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!”
"Oh! Yeah! Oh! Yeah!"
"Who?! What's the noise?"
Such a shocking scene made the survivors very excited. They clenched their fists, raised their arms high, and cheered heartily!
The people in the city didn't know what was happening outside, but they felt an inexplicable joy from the cheers.
The heavy pressure on his face was instantly relieved a lot, and was replaced by a hint of relief and hope.
The bombardment lasted for a full thirty minutes! It was not until the barrel became so hot that even urinating could not cool it down that the gun stopped working.
At this time, the size of the corpse group outside had obviously shrunk a little, and this change could be observed with the naked eye.
In such a short period of time alone, more than ten thousand zombies were killed.
Unfortunately, this type of bombardment cannot be sustained for long.
At this moment, the horde of zombies was gradually approaching the bottom of the city wall.
They stretched out their hands and beat the city wall with all their might, trying to knock down this hateful thing that was blocking their way to eat.
With every slap, the walls were left with traces of their fingernails and pieces of rotten flesh, which were all over the walls, and the stench became stronger and stronger.
