Chapter 454

The Yama Legion, who were ready for battle on the scene, basically all carried walkie-talkies, and the sound was heard by the vast majority of people present. The people who had just mustered up their courage suddenly lost more than half of it, looking at their own leaders or Zhang Su in a helpless manner...

"Damn, what a crow's mouth. I'm convinced!"

Yang Xinqi stomped his foot and glared at Liu Yao with extreme disgust.

"I... damn?"

Liu Yao himself was also confused. When did his mouth become so accurate?

Li Zongkai frowned and sighed. Zhang Xin, Cai Zhichao, and others had strange expressions on their faces. After glancing at Liu Yao, they all cast their eyes on Zhang Su.

For a time, Zhang Su was also stunned. It wasn't that his brain had crashed, but that many thoughts had emerged in his mind in an instant.

A conservative estimate was fifteen or sixteen thousand, and if there were more, it would be close to twenty thousand zombies, flanking from two directions. It wasn't that these people gathered on the road couldn't win—after all, the combat power these people possessed now could be called the strongest in Qingcheng. They had gathered the strongest forces of five families, which was not at all weaker than the original Green Dragon Legion! But facing two zombie groups at the same time was by no means as simple as one plus one equals two. The risks and variables would increase exponentially. He wanted a beautiful victory, not a stumbling, narrow victory, and he absolutely would not allow any casualties!

Because casualties would bring many negative effects.

There was another deeper consideration: if they took this opportunity to eliminate nearly twenty thousand zombies, it meant effectively alleviating the dangerous pressure between the northern part of Qingcheng and Qingxian.

Under what circumstances do people prefer to huddle together for warmth? Obviously, it must be when the external pressure is huge, when a powerful external enemy is forced to the door without any room for negotiation. If there is no danger, the necessity of huddling together for warmth is greatly reduced.

Would eliminating the zombie group become a stumbling block for recruiting the four forces into Tianmayu?

This thought flashed and disappeared. The zombie crisis was far more than just these ten or twenty thousand.

"Brother Su, should we change the strategy?"

Liu Tianji ran to Zhang Su's side and asked in a low voice. His meaning was obvious: it was still time to decide to lure the zombies away.

"We are strong and well-equipped, and we won't fear a mere twenty thousand zombies. We just need to change the plan slightly!"

Zhang Su decided that this battle must be fought; otherwise, it would suffer greater influence. He would bring out his trump card to deal with the trouble in front of him. It was no big deal.

Once the plan was set, it was time to issue instructions. Just as he was about to press the talk button, a voice came from the walkie-talkie again. It was still Zhang Ya, her tone tense and suppressed.

"Brother Su, the situation is not good. Another zombie group has appeared in the northwest, about three kilometers away, less than four kilometers. This zombie group... this zombie group should be the two zombie groups that were lured away before, gathered together. There are so many, the scale is at least twelve or thirteen thousand!"

Liu Yao looked at Zhang Su and the others with a strange expression and secretly hid behind the crowd. He was afraid himself. The power of this crow's mouth was too strong; why hadn't he noticed it before?

The words stuck in Zhang Su's throat were forcibly held back. He rolled his eyes at the cloudy sky. Everything today was as unpredictable as the clouds in the sky.

"Damn, we killed so many before, and lured a group to the North Second Ring. The remaining ones are at most thirty thousand zombies. It feels like they all came today. How unlucky!"

Zhao Dezhu scolded in a deep voice.

People from other forces were silent. They didn't know the specific situation; only those who participated in the splitting and luring of the zombie group south from Qingxian knew the specific situation. Zhao Dezhu's words were actually problematic. By logic, after the southern zombie group had been solved in various ways, there were long since fewer than thirty thousand. And now the three zombie groups everyone was facing added up to twenty-six or twenty-seven thousand, or even more.

It was obvious that in the past half month, the zombie group had been continuously pulling the zombies wandering in the villages into the team, gradually growing stronger.

"Brother Su, why don't we..."

Wang Xin wanted to persuade, but seeing Zhang Su raise his hand, he didn't dare to say more.

Zhang Su looked to the west. The zombie group chasing the drone in the sky was like a dance of demons. In the north, where obstacles blocked the view, a zombie group was slowly approaching, and in the further northwest, there was a large zombie army pressing step by step.

It was as if they knew that Tianmayu was gathering a large amount of fresh flesh and blood at this moment, and they rushed from afar, just to attend a grand feast.

The scene was quiet. The people who were full of ambition before had wilted. People leaning on the roadblocks smoking and chatting showed worry. Some guys with weak psychological quality already had sweat on their hands holding weapons.

Originally, the average number of kills per person was fifty or sixty. With the assistance of various facilities, this indicator was a bit high but not outrageous. Then came the urgent report, and with the zombie group in the north, the average number of kills per person instantly climbed to over one hundred! It instantly broke the limit, which was an intensity that many people couldn't imagine.

If it stopped there, it would be fine. At worst, they would bite the bullet and fight. People always had to break through their limits to grow. Wasn't there a tank behind? Drive it up and crush them, which would give everyone a chance to breathe.

But before everyone could build their psychological construction, a greater crisis arrived quietly...

Everyone felt listless. They didn't think of a death crisis, because things had reached this point, and a frontal kill was already impossible. What they had to do next was the same as what they had done many times before: split the zombie group, attract the zombies, lure them away, and trap them.

"The battle continues. What I, the King of Hell, decide will not change. The Yama Legion never retreats when facing the enemy!"

Unexpectedly, just when many people had begun to retreat, Zhang Su unexpectedly announced the decision to continue the battle.

Yu Wen, Zheng Xin, Zhong Xiao, and others who understood Zhang Su were not surprised at all. They could see the thoughts in Zhang Su's heart: today's battle must be fought!

The slogan was inspiring, but the reality was very cruel.

The people of the Yama Legion responded to Zhang Su with a gesture of raising their fists. The zombies were already not far away, so it was not suitable to shout loudly. This was a memory carved into their bones.

Unfortunately, except for the Yama Legion, only the people of the Tianmayu reserve team mustered up their fighting spirit. The remaining combatants of the other four families obviously had no fighting spirit.

"That, Brother Zhang..."

"Everything goes according to plan. Yu Qing, come back to the camp with me."

Zhang Xin could feel the thoughts of his subordinates because he was also afraid. He originally intended to persuade Zhang Su, but Zhang Su didn't pay attention to him at all. He beckoned to Yu Qing, who was holding a steel bar in the crowd, and then walked towards the car without saying a word.

Walking halfway, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to Zhao Dezhu: "Zhuzi, take people to watch this car. I'll be back soon!"

In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Su took someone else's wife into the car, and then stepped on the gas pedal and drove towards Tianmayu, leaving more than a hundred people staring at each other on the spot.
