Rows of shiny sabers were raised above their heads. The cavalrymen who had emptied their bullets tightly held onto the steel sabers in their hands as they slowly urged their horses forward. As the speed of the horses increased, Xu Hao who was charging at the front lowered his body and felt the Black Smoke Beast galloping forward. A surge of hot blood surged in his heart. The rocks and grass on both sides were quickly pulled behind him. What greeted him was the smell of gunpowder in the air. The strong wind blew his clothes and he turned his head to look at the soldiers beside him.
A sharp whistling sound came from the sky. The soldiers raised their necks and saw more than a hundred rockets spitting out long tongues of flame. In the midst of their joy, the rockets fiercely smashed into the dense group of zombies below.
"Shua shua shua …"
Without orders, no one was allowed to fire. The zombies below seemed to be right in front of their eyes. Many of the zombies were pushed to the edge of the hill and climbed up the hill. Although there were many zombies who lost their footing and rolled down the hill, more zombies were slowly approaching the ambush position.
Suddenly, a type 2 zombie appeared on the screen. The screen immediately locked on to the nimble S2 zombie running in the middle of the group of zombies. Countless rays of light flashed past. Sometimes it would run up the hill, sometimes it would jump into the group of zombies, passing through the gaps in the group of zombies. Slowly, it arrived at the rear. The rear was temporarily safe. The densely packed zombies were like a tide that was swirling and surging, forming a huge whirlpool. The formation of the zombie whirlpool was an illusion created by the countless zombies changing directions. At the center of the whirlpool, the image of the huge whirlpool was sent back to Gao Zhonghai. This huge whirlpool was formed by thousands of evolved zombies. These zombies were surrounding and retreating together, causing the sea of zombies behind to slow down.
"Counterattack … Counterattack … Kill our way back …"
"Open fire …"
"Brothers, retreat! Bring the zombies to the ambush point and we will wrap them up like dumplings …"
Xu Hao rode on the Black Smoke Beast and raised his bow as he shouted at the soldiers beside him. A gust of wind blew from the road, causing the sand on his face to look oily. The cavalrymen beside him breathed in the smoky air and roared along with their commander.
Xu Hao, who suddenly sat up, raised his saber and roared. He leapt into the dense horde of zombies, knocking down more than 10 zombies. The long saber in his hand flashed in a bright arc, and many ugly heads flew into the air. Countless cavalrymen followed their commander into the horde of zombies. Countless zombies were knocked away by the huge Mutant Horse, and countless heads were chopped off by the steel saber.
Further away, the entire road was filled with zombies. Occasionally, there was the faint sound of gunfire. Everyone only knew that there were countless zombies, but they did not know that these zombies would pay a price for every step they took. The cavalry took turns to bring up the rear and shoot all the bullets into the zombies' heads.
"Retreat. Tell those below to stay close to the zombies. We need to stay and stay close to them.
The smoke was swirling in the middle of the valley.
This way, if one Z-Type is killed, the other Z-Types will know. Aren't they looking for a safe boundary?
Let's give them an artificial … "
The moment the zombies appeared, Zhang Xiaoqiang and Shi Yuanye noticed them. Behind them, in the electronic reconnaissance vehicle, Gao Zhonghai was sweating profusely as he worked on a strange model. In front of him, the image changed from high to low. There were mountains, soldiers, black dots of artillery shells, and messy smoke. Then, the image turned 180 degrees, showing the numb faces of countless zombies, fire, explosions, flying limbs, and chaotic light.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang mumbled to himself as he looked at the map. Shi Yuanye did not ask any questions. He was thinking about how to prevent the Z-Types from leaving the province.
Countless huge fireballs exploded in the midst of the zombies on the road. Dark clouds exploded in the midst of the fireballs, but the dark clouds that exploded were the zombies. The rockets were considered unparalleled against humans, but against zombies, it was a peerless killing weapon. Every fireball could blow up hundreds of zombies. After countless fireballs, in addition to the messy piles of zombies on the road, the hillsides on both sides were also bombed. Huge rocks rolled down, mercilessly plowing a bloody ravine in the midst of the zombies.
Shi Yuanye did not understand Zhang Xiaoqiang's plan at all. Or rather, he did not understand why Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to provoke the Z-Types.
"You sent the cavalry to attack the zombies. Are you trying to provoke the Z-Types?
Why are you doing this? "
"Commander, the zombies are surrounding us … What should we do …"
"Report, the cavalry will arrive in five minutes. They are already here, and there are at least eighty thousand zombies chasing them …"
The rugged mountain rocks didn't block the hundreds of zombies. Seeing that the zombies were about to reach a distance of forty meters from the soldiers, every soldier here knew that the forty meter line of life and death was about to be breached. Seeing that the line of life and death was about to be breached, the rifles in their hands aimed at the ugly heads of the zombies, but they didn't receive any orders. Many soldiers had already taken out their bayonets and stuck them in the muzzle. It seemed that this was the only way to calm the fear in their hearts.
Gao Zhonghai's report made Zhang Xiaoqiang focus his attention on the approaching dust cloud. Countless mutated horses galloped on the mountain road, stirring up a cloud of dust. The dust cloud formed a pagoda-like shape as it rose and spread, covering the ambush positions on both sides. The soldiers who were squatting on the mountain rocks lowered their heads and endured the dust cloud, turning into grey people.
Countless soldiers followed closely behind him, holding the same type of steel blade in their hands. Everyone stared at the approaching zombies with bloodshot eyes. No one hesitated, no one was afraid. They were on the galloping horses, waiting for their turn to fight …
The disconnection between the front and back caused the sea of zombies to be cut off. The middle of the sea of zombies was cleared by the rockets and bullets, creating a vacuum of a few hundred meters. Although the S2 zombie did not manage to squeeze into the center of the whirlpool, it provided Zhang Xiaoqiang with the coordinates of the Z2 zombie.
"Be careful, the S2 zombie is coming. Who has a tripwire? Rush up and tie it down …"
"D2, D2 is coming. Rocket launchers, rocket launchers, hurry up …"
The 800-man cavalry regiment was like a huge millstone, crushing the zombies at the edge into pieces. The millstone rotated slowly, moving towards the final goal. Countless zombies stretched out their claws to scratch the dust cloud, or were shot and fell to the ground. The rolling troops covered the entire valley, causing the soldiers above to feel numb.
The order was given, and thousands of rifles were fired at the same time. The zombies that survived the explosion had their heads blown off. Yellow brain matter flew everywhere as they tumbled down the mountain.
The zombies in the front and back started to break up. The zombies in the middle suffered heavy casualties. Boulders kept rolling down from the hillside, and with the firepower from both sides, the zombies couldn't even determine which direction to attack. Some evolved zombies were still rushing forward, while the zombies in the middle stopped in a daze. They were hit by the whistling light and fell to the ground.
"The Z-Type can control tens of thousands of ordinary zombies. I don't know the specific method it uses to control zombies, but the zombies' command system is very flexible. It's almost like it's using its own arm. I think it's nothing more than brainwave control. Since it can control ordinary zombies vertically, it can also communicate with other zombies horizontally.
"Kill!"
On both sides of the mountain road, the two main forces were ready. Zhang Xiaoqiang brought Shi Yuanye to the highest peak. At the foot of the mountain, there was a winding road that connected Inner Mongolia and Silver Stream. The mountain range on both sides was just a corner of Helan Mountain, and the 30km long road was enough to accommodate tens of thousands of zombies.
At the same time, more and more mortar shells exploded within the zombie horde. The heavy machine guns spat out long tongues of fire as they swept through the zombie horde. The heavy machine guns did not need to hit the zombies' heads like rifles. The large caliber bullets, no matter which part of the zombie's body was hit, would cause devastating damage to the zombies. Legs and claws were severed from the zombies' bodies as they spun and fell to the ground.
