Zhao Deyi issued a new order to the other two mountains, and carefully observed these young people who approached the edge of the zombies within three hundred meters, and their mountain also welcomed an uninvited guest, a rather valiant off-road vehicle, bouncing towards their position.
The off-road vehicle rushed to within 50 meters of the zombies, causing hundreds of zombies to turn around and charge at the vehicle. Zhao Deyi immediately focused his attention on the vehicle. He saw the door open, revealing a thigh in dirty jeans. Then, a young man with messy hair stood beside the car, looking at Shi Yuanye on the hilltop with a smile.
Seeing Ai Qingshan smile at him, ignoring the zombies that were about to pounce on him, Zhao Deyi did not curse out loud. He just stared at the guy that he had never seen before. Ai Qingshan shook the cloth bag that he was carrying, and then a yellow object floated up in front of his chest.
Seeing this, Zhao Deyi was sure that this guy was an evolved person, but he was curious. No matter how strong an evolved person was, there was a limit. There were many evolvers in the base, but he had never seen one that could be so calm in front of tens of thousands of zombies.
Ai Qingshan put his hands together in front of his chest, and the yellow object in his palms was the 100 bullets he had found. As he let go of his hands, the zombies in front of him suddenly fell back like withered grass blown by a gust of wind. More than 100 zombies were killed in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Deyi almost dropped the binoculars in his hands. He did not know how Ai Qingshan had done it, or had Ai Qingshan performed a miracle in front of him?
Ai Qingshan had a faint smile on his face, and it became clearer and clearer in the binoculars. As more and more corpses piled up around him, Zhao Deyi finally discovered the secret. At the foot of the mountain, there were hundreds of bullets, and most of them were hidden in the burnt corpses of the zombies or in the soil. Ai Qingshan had the ability to find and take them out.
After he gathered the hundreds of bullets in front of his chest, he would pause for two or three seconds, and then he would shoot them out, like a rifle, or maybe even faster, piercing through the heads of the zombies in front of him.
Hundreds of bullets could kill all the zombies in front of him, and there was an endless supply of bullets under his feet. Even if the zombies were killed by him, he could still take out the bullets and use them again. Under such circumstances, he could do what several heavy machine guns could do with a wave of his hand. He was simply a zombie meat grinder.
At the foot of the other two mountains, there was a platoon firing at the zombies, drawing the zombies to one side, causing the zombies' line of defense to become thinner and thinner. When there was an opening in the zombie wall, the people wearing safety helmets raised their shields, and rammed into the zombie wall. The ones at the front were all strength-based evolvers, and the shields in their hands were as big as doors. The moment they rammed into the zombies, more than 10 zombies were sent flying.
The zombie wall was easily pierced through like butter. More and more shield-wielding soldiers used the gaps to expand the path. When they reached the waist of the mountain, the soldiers on the top cheered, and about 700 to 800 people jumped out of the trenches, stumbling down the mountain. Many of them were in too much of a rush, and rolled down the mountain. Luckily, there were a lot of corpses on the hillside, and these people were not seriously injured.
Suddenly, there were two screams coming from behind the platoon of zombies. Two men flew into the air and landed far away. There was a loud roar from the zombie horde, and the tall D2 zombie appeared.
The moment the D2 zombie appeared, it rushed towards the platoon of zombies, and its claws grabbed another platoon member, and tore him in half. Amidst the stench of blood, the zombies that had been lured away earlier started to turn back.
Three balls of fire exploded beside the D2 zombie, and the D2 zombie was blasted to one side by the shockwave of the explosion. It continuously knocked down more than 10 zombies before it stopped. Following that, the zombies at the back of the platoon started to fall, and every zombie had a bullet hole in their forehead.
The soldiers on the hill were not trash that could only wait for reinforcements. The artillery soldiers threw down the mortars that had run out of ammo, and grabbed all sorts of weapons that could be used as weapons. Together with their comrades, they charged down the mountain.
The soldiers were like dragons at this moment. Even though they had been fighting for 20 days, and were extremely weak, they still had a fighting strength that ordinary people could not compare to. After 20 days of non-stop shooting, each of them had fired over a thousand bullets, and it was a single shot. With such concentrated fire, they became sharpshooters within a 100m radius. Although they could not use many rifles, it was enough for them to open up a gap.
The zombies around the D2 zombie were also cleared out in less than 10 seconds, and it was the only one standing there. The D2 zombie was enraged, and with a loud roar, it wanted to charge forward. The zombies charged forward, and so did the rest of the platoon. The strength-based Evolvers who had opened the path raised their shields, and charged towards the zombies.
The first person was hit by the recoil, and his arm was broken. He threw his shield away and fell to the ground. The zombie paused slightly, and the second person continued to charge forward. After a loud sound, the first person fell to the ground, and the zombie's body started to tilt backwards.
The huge D2 zombie was the same, as long as they could find an opportunity to restrain its limbs, it would be like a harmless lab rat. The zombie fell heavily to the ground, and before it could get up, dozens of metal chains latched onto its body. Each chain was pulled by several people, and the zombie was tied up like a rice dumpling.
The ones pulling the chains were the guards on the mountain. Surrounded by the zombies, they spent their days thinking about how to deal with the zombies, especially the evolved zombies. In the end, they came up with a solution. No matter how strong a person was, as long as their limbs were restrained, they would not be able to unleash their full strength. The tall D2 zombie was the same. As long as they found an opportunity to restrain its limbs like a mental patient, it would become a harmless lab rat.
Dozens of soldiers dragged the D2 zombie and ran forward, while the others followed closely behind. The soldiers who still had some bullets were covering fire from the back. They even picked up the two heavily injured soldiers that had been sent flying by the D2 zombie.
The scene on this hill did not repeat itself on the other hill. They did not encounter any D2 zombies, but they did encounter two S2 zombies. However, the two S2 zombies were squeezed in the middle by the shields, and were killed by the snipers on the hill. The soldiers on the three hills kept some bullets as a trump card. At least everyone had a magazine full of bullets, and these bullets were extremely useful to the sharpshooters.
With the two platoons attracting the zombies, and the unexpected cover fire and support, the two shield platoons successfully met their targets at the foot of the hill, and covered them as they converged with the convoy. Behind them, the two platoons were still pulling the train, continuously luring the zombies to one side. This made the rescued soldiers curse these guys as spendthrifts. They did not pay attention to killing, and only knew how to shoot randomly. Even after half a day, they did not manage to kill many zombies.
In the end, the four platoons of 800 people, and the two mountain peaks of 1600 people returned to the convoy. Ai Qingshan and Zhao Deyi were already waiting for them. Ai Qingshan had single-handedly killed thousands of zombies, and met up with Zhao Deyi who had rushed down the hill. Both sides did not linger, and retreated the moment they met up, which was the least amount of time.
"Division Commander Zhao, please reply, Division Commander Zhao, please reply …"
Ai Qingshan opened his mouth in surprise, and looked at the walkie-talkie on his waist. Gao Feng's voice came from the walkie-talkie, but the person who was shouting was not him, but Zhao Deyi who was beside him. Ai Qingshan opened his eyes wide, and used a strange expression to stare at Zhao Deyi. He grimaced in pain as he took off the walkie-talkie, and handed it to Zhao Deyi as if he was holding a dead mouse. Seeing someone else using his walkie-talkie, Ai Qingshan who did not know how to share with others felt very awkward.
Zhao Deyi did not pay attention to this young man, and took the walkie-talkie and replied:
"I am Zhao Deyi, I am Zhao Deyi, please send …"
"Division Commander Zhao, the zombies have started to turn back, and their target is you. Please leave immediately and meet up with us. Please leave immediately and meet up with us …"
"That's great, I have finally received you, I have not failed my mission. This time I want to see who will still call us Iron Bastards, I want to write down the rescue operation here and use it as a teaching material for the Navy and Marine Corps …"
Gao Feng was extremely excited, and after seeing Zhao Deyi, he started to talk about their achievements. However, Zhao Deyi frowned as he looked at the 300m mountain of corpses in front of the machine gun position. After Gao Feng finished his speech, he said: "We cannot leave the corpses behind, otherwise by tomorrow, there will be tens of thousands of evolved zombies, and thousands of Type 2 zombies. Do you have any extra fuel?"
Gao Feng calmed himself down, and pointed to the mountain of corpses in high spirits and said: "This is not a big deal, we have something better, the laboratory in the center of the lake gave us a lot of inferior corrosive source, it is the best to destroy the corpses, the only flaw is that after dissolving the corpses, it needs to be retrieved immediately, otherwise after 24 hours, it will react with the air and turn into clear water …"
Zhao Deyi nodded his head in satisfaction, he knew about the corrosive source, he originally thought it was used as a weapon, he did not expect it to have such value. Since he had the corrosive source, he was no longer worried, and looked at the endless number of zombies in the distance, he hesitantly asked: "Do you still have bullets?
Give me some, we will help you kill all the zombies here, I have observed from the mountain, you have killed at least 80,000 zombies in the attack just now, adding the number of zombies we have killed, the number should be around 90,000 to 100,000, the total number of zombies here is around 300,000, before nightfall, we should be able to … "
"Eh?"
Gao Feng looked at Zhao Deyi dumbfoundedly, then shook his head and said:
"No, just now, they have shot out 100,000 large caliber bullets, we only have 300,000 rounds of ammunition, there is a new mission tomorrow, whether we can complete the mission or not will depend on the ammunition …"
"What?
You used 100,000 large caliber bullets and more than 2000 soldiers to kill 80,000 zombies?
Who is the idiot commanding the troops at the front?
This is a crime, he should be shot … "
Zhao Deyi suddenly became angry. The characteristic of large caliber bullets was continuous damage. If used well, one bullet could tear apart more than ten zombies. Even if it was a mistake, one bullet could tear apart three to five zombies. If he was the one guiding the use of the bullets, it would take less than a hundred thousand bullets to kill all the zombies here.
"Forget it, don't mention it. How about this, I'll give you 300,000 rounds of rifle bullets, 30,000 rounds of large-caliber machine gun bullets, and 1,200 mortar shells. Do as you see fit. If you need, the troops in the front can also be under your command …"
Gao Feng finally understood one thing. A professional battle had to be left to the professionals. Looking at the others' opinions on this battle, it made him blush. A hundred thousand large caliber bullets and over two hundred thousand rifle bullets had been used up just like that, and the results they had achieved were also looked down upon.
