Chapter 270: The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend
"Use binoculars to look yourself! No wonder the road was clean all the way, it turns out the zombies have all gathered into the team!"
Zhang Su looked for a while with binoculars and handed them to Zhao Dezhu. He remembered the scene of seeing the zombie swarm passing through the city a few months ago. The zombie swarm was like a snowball, and the zombies along the way were snowflakes. When the snowball rolled over, it would take away the snowflakes.
He clearly saw in the distance, about a mile away, the zombie swarm stretched across the streets of the county, crowded and moving toward the west. He couldn't see where the end was. Anyway, the zombies appearing in the field of vision were at least over twenty thousand, far larger than the zombie swarm he encountered outside the Yileiwen convenience store before!
And this was just a part of it. It was hard to imagine the number of the entire zombie swarm.
"Hmm, there is indeed a large group of things moving ahead, big brother, your eyesight is awesome."
After a while, Zhao Dezhu retracted his body and closed the window.
In the pitch-black sky, the dashboard in the car emitted a faint light, illuminating people's cheeks in a strange way.
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
Zhang Su's fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, his brows full of conflict. He felt this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but he felt a bit confused about how to seize it.
Zhao Dezhu poked Xin Qi's waist with his gun.
"Right, even United Village knows how to divert the zombie swarm and then kill them, why doesn't the Azure Dragon Legion know? Hey, Xin Qi, explain!"
"Thinking."
"How to say?"
But precisely because of this, wanting to achieve conquest was very difficult!
If the Azure Dragon Legion could survive this wave of zombie swarm attacks, then the cohesion and sense of belonging of the survivors would be greatly improved, and it would be very difficult to gain leadership at that time.
"Big brother, I don't think it's right."
Zheng Xinyu said, hitting Xin Qi on the head twice with a baseball bat.
"Speak quickly, is there any conspiracy? If you don't speak, I'll kill you."
Zhang Su answered without hesitation.
He could take advantage of their illness to kill them, but he couldn't conquer the legion members, at least not 60% of them!
Zheng Xinyu saw Zhang Su not speaking, and pinched his neck from behind the driver's seat.
Xin Qi was about to cry. He thought to himself that these few people thought too highly of him.
"If discovered in advance, it would definitely be diverted."
"Eh eh, what should we do now?"
Zhao Dezhu suddenly spoke, full of doubts.
If he missed this opportunity, Zhang Su felt very unwilling in his heart.
Zhang Su waved his hand and said: "Don't make things difficult for this guy, what he said is reasonable. You guys think, can the old sister-in-law in United Village know about our affairs?"
Zhang Su went from tapping the steering wheel lightly to gripping it tightly. Now that the zombie army was attacking the legion headquarters, the legion would inevitably be severely damaged after resisting the zombies. Taking advantage of the situation to take it down could be said to be very easy.
"Big brother, big sister, I, I'm just a small soldier in the legion. What I can know is very limited. How is it my turn to worry about strategic operations..."
"Think about it, if our camp was attacked by a huge zombie swarm, what would be the first thing?"
"I, I don't know..." Xin Qi was full of confusion and bewilderment.
"Right right... Big brother is right."
Xin Qi was grateful, even if he became an old sister-in-law, it didn't matter.
"Then what should we do now?"
After a circle, it returned to this question again.
"Is there any other way to the barracks?"
Zhang Su decided to watch the fire from the other side first!
He now only hoped for one result, that the Azure Dragon Legion was not up to the task, then he could lead people to save the Azure Dragon Legion with a heroic posture. Of course, the premise was that he could turn the tide; otherwise, he would just watch the Azure Dragon Legion be destroyed...
Xin Qi pointed to the south and said: "There is another road over there, there is a gate for cars on the south side."
"Set off!"
Zhang Su took another look at the tail of the zombie swarm, started the car cautiously, prepared to move to the south, and at the same time informed everyone accompanying him of his thoughts.
When everyone learned that the Azure Dragon Legion was being attacked by zombies, they felt a great sense of relief!
Zombies should have been the common enemy of all humanity, but now the external enemy was dealing with the internal enemy, so they temporarily became friends. It's just a pity that this friend had no reason and only knew how to kill...
"Damn, if someone could control the zombie swarm, that would be awesome. Use modern weapons yourself, and the zombie swarm ahead will open the way, invincible!"
Zhao Dezhu fantasized.
Zhang Su looked in the rearview mirror and smiled: "Zhuzi, your idea is okay. After going back, discuss it with Dr. Fu. Maybe you can really figure out how to control..."
Boom!
Before the words fell, the convoy had only traveled a few dozen meters, and before they could even turn, they saw a fire in the sky in front, a thunderous sound poured into their ears, followed by the sound of gunfire like dense raindrops, and then two more explosions.
Zhang Su stepped on the brakes and stopped the car, and the entire convoy stopped in the middle of the road.
"Damn, they started fighting so fast!"
Zhao Dezhu looked at the sky where the fire appeared, clenched his fists, and felt a bit nervous having experienced the zombie swarm.
"Yeah, the war has started!"
Zhang Su's expression tightened. Like everyone else, he couldn't see where the battle was, but he could more intuitively feel the tragedy of this battle, because the number representing the Azure Dragon Legion's population in his mind was decreasing!
It slowly changed from 342 to 341.
Not much, only one person decreased, but just after the battle started, a death occurred, which showed that this zombie swarm was unusual!
"Don't go over there first!"
Zhang Su didn't continue forward. Since the number in his mind could intuitively reflect the deaths of the Azure Dragon Legion, there was no need to continue approaching and risking his life.
Everyone got out of the car one after another, and some people climbed onto the roof of the shops on the street. Unfortunately, the two-story small building was too low, and they still couldn't directly see the location of the battle.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...
The sounds of various guns and cannons were endless, drowning out the strange cries of zombies and the roars of humans. Even from a thousand meters away, everyone could still feel the intensity of the scene from the fire that erupted from time to time.
Suddenly, a look of shock appeared on Zhang Su's face. He found Fang Great Ming, who was squatting on the side, and asked: "Are you sure that during the last zombie swarm attack, the legion only died more than thirty people?"
"Sure, I was responsible for dealing with the corpses at that time, clearly, thirty-two... Big brother, I didn't lie to you." Fang Great Ming scratched his head, not understanding why Zhang Su asked this.
"Got it..."
Zhang Su nodded, his brows furrowed. The reason he doubted Fang Great Ming's words was because in just ten minutes, the number representing the Azure Dragon Legion's population had plummeted to 310!
During the brief conversation with Fang Great Ming, the number decreased by two more!
This rate of combat loss made Zhang Su feel extremely surprised. With strong walls blocking and perfect fortifications, why did they die so fast?
Could it be that these people didn't all die in the mouths of zombies?
Zhang Su thought again of the factional struggle Liu Lei mentioned, and secretly thought that if they didn't forget to engage in power struggles at the moment of life and death, then this faction was truly seeking its own destruction.
The Azure Dragon Legion might have a big problem. He had an absurd prediction in his heart: what if the Azure Dragon Legion was really wiped out, leaving only the three prisoners Xin Qi? Then would it count as completing the challenge as long as one of them submitted?
If that were the case, it would be too dramatic.
"Hey, Xinyu, what you said seems to be coming true!"
Zhang Su walked to Zheng Xinyu's side and said jokingly.
"Ah? What did I say?"
Zheng Xinyu looked blankly at the flashing sky, unable to remember what she had said for a moment.
"Sister-in-law, you said smooth sailing, bloodless, click and send."
Wang Xin stood on the side and answered very actively.
"Oh oh, right, yeah, I was right, right!"
Zheng Xinyu raised her chin proudly.
Bang! Boom.
Just as Zheng Xinyu finished speaking, a fire shot out from the direction of the barracks, shooting straight toward the northwest, like a meteor crossing the sky, quickly piercing into a residential area in the city, blasting a big hole in an apartment building...
"Damn, what is that thing that shot off course, a missile?"
Lu Yubo screamed.
"Tank! It's a tank!"
Zhang Su confirmed. The movement and the tracer of the shell just now looked exactly like a tank firing.
"Ta, tank?"
Fang Great Ming looked confused and said: "Shouldn't be, there are indeed two tanks in the military camp, but it is said that the shells are damp and cannot be used. Right, Little Xin, Old Song, do you know the situation?"
"If it was really a tank just now, then Ma Juguang lied to us!"
The middle-aged man called Old Song had a complex look on his face.
Xin Qi shook his head in confusion: "I also always thought those two tanks were used to crush zombies..."
"Old Song is right, the higher-ups of the legion hid the situation from you, which is not strange." Zhang Su nodded.
Fang Great Ming smacked his lips and said: "Then according to this, even hidden strength has been used now, it seems very bad!"
Bang, boom!
During the conversation, another shell was fired. This time at least it didn't shoot off, it should have had some effect...
"It's indeed bad..."
Zhang Su looked at the fire of the explosion and said lightly.
With the participation of the tanks, the number of the Azure Dragon Legion had dropped to about 290. So far, more than 50 people had died!
Judging by common sense, most of these 50 people should be combat personnel. If that were true, then the remaining combat personnel of the Azure Dragon Legion were less than half!
