Chapter 453

No matter what happens, the sentry duty can never be absent. Zhang Ya and Yang Wenjie did not participate in the battle in Beidong Town, but stood firm at the sentry post, staring closely at a large area from the north to the southwest!

Since no one was arranged to go out on patrol today, the importance of the sentry post was even more highlighted.

Swaying zombies walked out from the gaps between the houses in the distant village. From a few at first, in the blink of an eye, they became dozens, and then a dense mass. The zombie group moved slowly across the wilderness, with a clear goal, pointing directly at Tianmayu.

Zhang Su's gaze tightened. He took the walkie-talkie from his waist and asked: "What's the number?"

"It's the zombie group that was lured away before. The number of zombies should be no less than seven thousand!"

Zhang Ya's response was quick.

"Seven thousand... that's quite a lot!"

"Is it because too many of us gathered at Tianmayu that we attracted the zombies..."

"It should be. But we have so many people here, seven thousand zombies are nothing to worry about."

After hearing Zhang Ya's report, everyone couldn't help but discuss it with each other. Everyone stopped paying attention to each other's identities, because if nothing went wrong, they would all become companions of one force in the near future.

"Brother Su, what should we do?"

Lu Yubo could always express his questions very frankly. Asking when he didn't understand was his strength...

Zhang Su didn't answer Lu Yubo, but looked at Yu Wen. The two exchanged glances, and some things were tacitly understood.

"Everyone, there are no other survivor forces on this land. Now it's no different from our own territory. Luring the zombie group back and forth is nothing more than spinning around in our own yard. Why not kill these zombies? It just so happens to supplement the fuel for winter heating. What do you think?"

Zhang Su's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he asked everyone present with high morale.

"It's boring for us humans to fight each other. We should save our strength to kill zombies. Let's do it!"

Zhang Xin was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

"Eliminating the zombie group is an unshirkable duty of humanity!"

Li Zongkai nodded slightly, subconsciously using official jargon, but cautiously suggested: "Seven thousand is no longer a small number. Even if all of us go out, everyone has to kill more than fifty. We still need to be extra careful!"

Following closely, Cai Zhichao, Zhou Le, as well as Liu Yao and Yang Xinqi, all agreed with Zhang Su's opinion.

If it were in the past, hearing that seven or eight thousand zombies were moving towards the camp, even the Survivor Alliance would have a headache. But at this moment, no one showed any unease on their faces; on the contrary, they were eager to try. At this moment, they needed a battle to vent the fighting spirit they had accumulated before.

"OK, since everyone thinks we should fight, then this zombie group is out of luck!" Zhang Su made the final decision.

"Kill them all!"

"I'll go notify the brothers right now!"

"Haha, kill all those ghost things!"

For a time, the original leaders and captains of the other families left one after another. Their subordinates still needed them to command.

Zhang Su pressed the talk button and said: "Yama Legion, listen to the order. All reserve teams, listen to the order. Stop all work and prepare to meet the zombie group!"

For more than seven thousand zombies, it would only take about four to six vehicles to lure them steadily to a place where they couldn't be seen, but Zhang Su didn't intend to do that at all! At this moment, a battle was needed. Tianmayu needed a battle. To be precise, the Yama Legion needed a battle. This was like a show, a big show to show off their muscles to others!

To recruit talent and expand the population, one must show strength. Supplies and personal ability were strength. In this terrible world of the zombie apocalypse, the combat ability to eliminate zombies was the hard strength that laid the foundation of the camp!

Due to the large number of people and the fact that they belonged to different forces, the gathering time was a bit long.

Everyone put out their cigarettes, put down their warm disposable water cups, and regrouped. After five or six minutes, the crowd gathered in the parking lot.

The spacious parking lot could hold thousands of people without a problem, but there were too many cars parked here, which made the space a bit narrow, and more than a hundred people could only stand in scattered teams.

During this period, a small episode occurred. When Liu Yao appeared in front of people again, everyone was curious about his physical condition, not understanding how he recovered as before in such a short time. But with a big battle imminent, there was no way to investigate.

The five forces were clearly divided. The Yama Legion and the reserves of Tianmayu added up to sixty people, which was the largest cluster among the five teams. Then there were the remaining forty or so people from the Survivor Alliance. Civilization Guardians, the Little Eagle Society, and the Apocalypse Group had similar numbers, all around twenty.

The leaders of the families stood in front of the teams to do pre-battle mobilization in their own way, explaining relevant matters. The members of each family held their heads high. This was a zombie elimination operation, and also a secret competition.

When alien enemies appeared, it was only natural for humans to pick up weapons and fight back. But as long as there were groups, there would definitely be competition, especially at this special time, when many people wanted to show off. Buzz! A drone rose into the sky and flew towards the west at high speed. Soon it mastered the latest situation: the zombie group was already 1.5 kilometers outside the camp, passing by the sentry post. The magnetic field emitted by Tianmayu was too powerful, and Zhang Ya, who was left at the sentry post, did not attract the slightest interest from the zombies.

"We can't let the zombies rush up the mountain. Yama Legion, reserve team members, listen to the order. Set up roadblocks on the road to meet the zombie group, using the wasteland as strategic depth. Set off!"

With an order from Zhang Su, he personally drove the van loaded with the fire-breathing zombie towards the foot of the mountain. He didn't really intend to use the fire-breathing zombie, mainly because he was afraid of it being stolen. A string of broken passwords couldn't stop people...

"Luezi, immediately use the drone to contain the zombie group and set up roadblocks for everyone to buy time!"

"Received! Guarantee to complete the mission!"

Wu Lue immediately recalled the drone, hung a large loudspeaker on it, and set off again.

"Old Pan, check the tank's fuel level, ready to crush the zombie group at any time!"

"The fuel level is enough to gallop for fifty kilometers!"

"Dakun, without drone assistance, if 003 is needed, you and Little Liu drive the car to spray pheromones!"

"No problem!"

"Received!"

"Everyone check your weapons and armor. No mistakes are allowed!"

While walking down the mountain, Zhang Su issued instructions one by one.

By the time the motorcade galloped down the mountain, the straight-line distance between the zombie group and the road was less than one kilometer. If they didn't contain them, in ten minutes at most—maybe not even that—they would rush across the road with their reckless steps.

When the large loudspeaker in the sky rang, the zombie group was immediately disrupted. A large cluster of zombies walking in the front looked up at the sky, and the zombies rushing up from behind kept pushing the queue. The entire zombie group suddenly fell into a standstill!

Everyone knew that time was precious. Not only were the people of Tianmayu busy, but everyone else also participated in the work of setting up roadblocks.

According to Zhang Su's plan, two rows of roadblocks were set up horizontally in front of the zombie group. If the number was not enough, it would be reduced to one row. The battle was mainly based on cold weapons, supplemented by thermal weapons. The five forces were distributed in a line, responsible for the zombie group in front.

"I feel... we are somewhat bullying the zombies!"

Zhang Xin looked at the more than one hundred combatants who were ready for battle, and for the first time felt excited when facing the zombie group.

All preparations were carried out in an orderly manner, and the commanders stood together for pre-battle communication.

"This will be an inspiring battle!"

Li Zongkai stood with one hand on his hip, looking at the magnificent battle line, with an excited expression on his face.

In the past, it was all fear, worrying about being injured, worrying about subordinates dying. Once fighting zombies, it was a gamble with the god of death. But this time it was different. The offense and defense had changed; soldiers came to block, water came to cover!

Liu Yao's injury had recovered and he was full of energy. He held a uniquely shaped sharp knife, which looked like a sharp weapon for killing zombies, and laughed: "With our formation, dealing with seven or eight thousand zombies is really using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I feel that it's not enough for that thing to walk a few laps. We should have a few more zombie groups!"

"Don't be a crow's mouth!"

Yang Xinqi didn't bicker with Liu Yao out of respect for Zhang Su, but he was still very disgusted with his words.

"Tsk..."

Liu Yao rarely didn't retort.

"It seems everyone is almost ready, then I'll notify..."

Zhang Su was about to order Wu Lue to slowly lure the zombie group to the road, but at this moment, a piece of news that made people's hearts tighten came!

"Tianmayu, attention. A zombie group has appeared in the north... in the north, about three to four kilometers from the camp. The estimated number is between eight thousand and ten thousand!"

Yang Wenjie's voice was a bit stiff. The northern sentry post she guarded was the farthest from the camp. Defending against zombies was secondary; the main thing was to keep an eye on people coming from the Shanhai area. After hearing Zhang Ya's news, she also stared at the zombie group with binoculars. Who would have thought that as soon as she turned her head, there would be a problem on her side too!
