Chapter 39: Pick 100 people

【System Prompt: Day 10 of the apocalypse, current environment: sunny, outdoor temperature -45.1°C, snow melting 50%, 'Shadow' organization large-scale armed forces moving toward the 45th floor.】

Lin Chen had just put the last box of compressed biscuits back in place when he heard Xia Nuan call him: "Lin Chen, look outside—the snow seems to have decreased a lot!"

He walked to the window, lifted the canvas he had nailed before—the snow outside had indeed thinned a lot,

revealing the black road surface, and the wind wasn't as fierce as before. "The snow has melted, just right to go out and find rare supplies." Lin Chen touched the dagger in his pocket,

"Absolute defense only has 4 days left, must hurry to find the next thing that can be exchanged for reinforcement."

Chen Mo and A Kai also walked over. Chen Mo looked outside the window: "I'll go with you, two people are safer, Xia Nuan stays here to guard the safe house."

Lin Chen nodded, just about to take his backpack, when he suddenly heard a "hum" roar in the distance—not one helicopter, but the sound of many helicopters.

"Not good!" Lin Chen's heart tightened, hurriedly leaning against the glass to look outside. In the distant sky,

ten helicopters were flying toward this side, weapons hanging under the fuselage, and the black skull on the fuselage was particularly striking.

Even scarier was that thirty modified vehicles were following on the ground, the wheels rolling over the melted snow, splashing pieces of water.

"It's 'Shadow' organization! They brought so many people!" Xia Nuan gripped Lin Chen's arm, her voice tight.

Lin Chen didn't panic, but sneered: "Just in time, let them try the power of the system reinforcement." He turned to Chen Mo and A Kai, "Don't go out,

let's just watch them in the room and see what they can do."

And at this time, in the 'Shadow' organization's temporary base, Black Crow was standing in front of the monitor, his face gloomy enough to drip water. "The ten trash sent last time,

didn't even smash the door open before feeding the zombies!" The whip in his hand lashed on the table, "This time I sent one hundred people, thirty vehicles, ten helicopters, I don't believe I can't smash his safe house open!"

People in the tent lowered their heads, no one dared to speak. Black Crow swept over the crowd, his eyes ruthless: "Whoever dares to say they won't go, get out now and feed the zombies!"

No one dared to refute. Black Crow randomly pointed at one hundred people, letting his men push them onto the truck: "Kill any survivors you meet on the way, throw the corpses to the 45th-floor door,

lure the zombies over—I want Lin Chen to be caught in a pincer attack by zombies and our people!"

One hundred people didn't dare to delay, sat on the truck and followed the convoy to set off. On the way, they met five survivors—two children,

three adults, they were hiding in an abandoned car gnawing on snow chunks. 'Shadow' organization people didn't talk nonsense,

directly pulled the car door open, dragged the five people out and killed them, threw the corpses onto a pickup truck, and continued to rush to the residential area.

Half an hour later, the convoy arrived downstairs in the residential area. Ten helicopters hovered in the air,

thirty vehicles parked on the side of the road, one hundred people holding weapons and rushing upstairs.

The five corpses on the pickup truck were thrown at the 45th-floor door, blood soon seeping into the melted snow, emitting a pungent smell.

"Lin Chen! Open the door and die!" The leader holding a loudspeaker shouted, "This time we have one hundred people, even if you have reinforcement, it's useless!"

Lin Chen in the room didn't ignore him at all, leaning against the wall and watching the helicopter start strafing outside the window,

bullets hitting the glass without even leaving a mark; people downstairs holding crowbars smashing the door, but the door remained motionless.

"Keep hitting! Hit them to death!" The leader was anxious, letting his men use bombs to blow up the door. With a "Boom—" sound, the bomb exploded on the door,

the blast wave making the surrounding people retreat a few steps, but the door was still fine.

Just at this moment, zombie roars came from downstairs—the smell of blood from the corpses lured the nearby zombies, one, two, ten... more and more zombies swarmed toward the 45th-floor door.

"Zombies! Shoot quickly!" Someone shouted, raising his gun and shooting at the zombies. But there were too many zombies, the bullets weren't enough, and soon 'Shadow' organization members were pounced on by zombies, screams one after another.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" The leader was so scared his face turned pale, turning around and running downstairs.

But the thirty vehicles downstairs had already been surrounded by zombies, the car doors being smashed with a "thud-thud" sound, people in the cars wanting to drive away, but zombies had already crawled into the cars,

soon there was no movement.

The ten helicopters in the air saw the situation on the ground and panicked—there were more and more zombies,

staying any longer would mean being surrounded. The pilot hurriedly shouted into the intercom: "Base! Base! We are surrounded by zombies, requesting retreat!"

Black Crow heard this at the base, so angry that he threw the intercom to the ground: "Trash! A bunch of trash! One hundred people can't even beat a group of zombies!" But he had no choice, only roaring: "Retreat! Retreat back for me!"

The helicopters soon flew away, and the 'Shadow' organization members on the ground were either gnawed by zombies or ran away in the chaos. At the 45th-floor door, five corpses and dozens of 'Shadow' organization members' corpses were piled together, zombies tearing wildly, the scene bloody and chaotic.

The four people in the room looked at the scene outside and breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Nuan patted her chest: "Fortunately, there is system reinforcement, otherwise this time it would really be dangerous."

Lin Chen collapsed on the sofa, picked up a bag of compressed biscuits and tore it open, handing a piece to Xia Nuan... ===== CHAPTER 40 =====
