There were more than 200 soldiers who were crippled, and all of them were in a panic. Nearly half of the soldiers had lost their guns and the magazines in their bags. Some of them were wearing tattered uniforms, and they looked even more miserable than the defeated soldiers in the movies. When the defeated soldiers arrived at the pier, it caused chaos among the survivors. Even if the frontline was badly beaten, the survivors at the back could not see it, and they could always find some comfort in their hearts. However, when these defeated soldiers appeared, even a pig would know that the frontline had collapsed, and the zombies could kill them at any time.
For a moment, all the survivors at the pier panicked. It was as if a huge rock had been thrown into a calm pond, causing a huge wave to surge. The source of the chaos was this group of defeated soldiers. They were all muttering and looking for an escape route, causing the originally arranged formation to be thrown into disorder. Some of them even jumped into the water and swam towards the opposite shore amidst their loud cries of alarm.
"Not good, they are retreating too fast, I'm afraid they won't be able to blow up the bridge in time …"
Cheng Yu was shocked, but Weng Li stared at another place, and saw a group of defeated soldiers with a few officers rushing towards the place where they had captured the ship. This group of people naturally did not know that the ship that was supposed to receive them had already been captured by Weng Li's people. Not being able to find the ship, these people also panicked, and once again rushed towards the pier. Seeing these people, how could Weng Li not know that they were all bought by He Fengli, or else, how could he control Yang Wanshan to let the security group fight the zombies at the frontline?
"Cheng Yu, you don't have to worry about here, take the people and run forward, quickly leave this place. Gather the defeated soldiers if you can, if you can't, then take care of yourselves. There are three empty ships waiting for you downstream …"
Weng Li completely gave up on suppressing the chaos, most of the defeated soldiers had already lost their morale, and even if they could suppress them for a while, the zombies would cause the whole army to collapse. In this case, he might as well let Cheng Yu and the others leave first. Cheng Yu was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Weng Li and shouted: "Aren't you leaving?"
Weng Li stood on the rooftop and stared at the collapsing crowd below. Cheng Yu and three to five soldiers stood on the ground and looked up. The people around them bumped into them from time to time, causing their bodies to sway. At this moment, Weng Li slowly shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving. Someone has to stay behind and be responsible for the deaths of these people. You guys go and look for that person. Although he might not be a good person, at least he's true. Following him is better than following me …" Weng Li slowly shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving. Someone has to stay behind and be responsible for the deaths of these people.
Weng Li had already made up his mind, and Cheng Yu was also a decisive soldier. He did not try to persuade Weng Li any further, and solemnly saluted Weng Li along with the soldiers beside him. After that, they split apart the crowd and rushed downstream. As they rushed, they grabbed the defeated soldiers along the way and urged them to rush together. With Cheng Yu as a second lieutenant, the defeated soldiers once again found their backbone. Without Cheng Yu's orders, they cooperated with them and rushed downstream.
Looking at Cheng Yu's group disappearing into the crowd, Weng Li was silent. If it was yesterday, he definitely would not have let Cheng Yu leave, nor would he have let go of the three precious boats. Yesterday, he was still a hot-blooded righteous youth who would lead Cheng Yu to gather the defeated soldiers and fight for the survivors until the last moment. But today, too many accidents had taught him to think in a different way. There was no free lunch in this world, and the survivors might not be grateful for their selfless contributions. Zhang Xiaoqiang had taught him to help the world when he was rich, and to be poor, he had to take care of himself. If he couldn't even take care of the people around him, how could he talk about saving the world?
However, he did not leave with Cheng Yu and the rest. After all, his woman was still in the hands of others, and the lives of nearly two thousand people were also in his hands. Although he had made up his mind to let these people stop the zombies from advancing, the guilt in his heart made him stay behind to do his last bit of effort. Not long after he saw Cheng Yu and the rest leave, the officers who had run to the riverside to look for boats rushed over. The dock area was already in chaos, and the crowd was densely packed. The noise made the entire dock look like a noisy market, and there were panicked men and defeated soldiers everywhere. Weng Li who stood silently on the roof attracted the most attention.
"Weng Li … … Where is the boat?
Quickly take out the boat and run with us … … "
At this time, a major with a face full of smoke pushed away a few men in front of him and raised his head to call out to Weng Li. Weng Li glanced at the panicking major, and his eyelids drooped down, unwilling to look at him anymore. He just stood on the roof, waiting for something. The house under Weng Li's feet was a bungalow, and the figure standing on the roof was not very majestic. Although he was in his early twenties, he did not look dignified. Although he looked like an ordinary young man, he gave off an aura that was as deep as the abyss, causing the major's anger to stagnate.
"Weng Li, did you not hear what the Battalion Commander said?
The boat … … the boat is over there … … "
The captain beside the major raised his gun and aimed at Weng Li. His panicked voice slightly trembled, proving the panic in his heart at this moment. Weng Li slightly raised the corner of his mouth under the muzzle of the captain's gun, "Remonstrance to the death, and fight to the death. You are all soldiers, and if you don't die on the battlefield, why are you looking for a boat with these panicking civilians?
Are you going to give up on your honor now? "
Weng Li's clear words were filled with mockery. Facing the muzzles of guns that surrounded him from all directions, Weng Li's expression remained the same. The clamor didn't drown out his words, and they were clearly heard by those soldiers. A hint of hostility flashed across the major's eyes, and he shouted loudly, "We've tried our best, but 800 of our 1,200 brothers have died in battle. We've exhausted all our ammunition, and there's no hope of reinforcements. What can we do?
Weng Li, take out the boat, and we'll follow you to kill He Fengli. You'll be in charge from now on … … Don't let He Fengli take advantage of you for a moment of anger. We're all abandoned people … … "
Due to extreme nervousness, the major's voice was trembling. Many soldiers couldn't wait any longer, and they rushed into the houses to find doors or rubber tires before jumping into the water. The remaining soldiers were collapsing, and countless people were wailing in pain. Surrounded by the roaring sound, Weng Li looked at the major with interest. He stretched out his finger in an arc and pointed at the roof not far away … …
"It's too late … … Either you die in battle, or you drown, make your choice … …"
After saying that, Weng Li rushed out. The words "open fire" were already in the Major's throat, but when he saw the S2 zombies climbing and jumping on the rooftops, the ferocious look in his eyes turned into despair, and he used a serious tone to shout, "He Fengli, you bastard, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost …."
The pier was still in a state of chaos. Those panicking people did not know that death had already arrived. Along with the screams of the survivors in the outermost region, the dense crowd on the pier seemed to have been thrown into a bomb made of fear. The moment it detonated, everyone went crazy. People no longer waited for the road ahead to clear up, and like a mountain torrent, they rushed downstream. Those who were hesitating at the edge of the river no longer hesitated, and rushed downstream like a swarm of bees. Countless people fought for the narrow path, and in the midst of the thousands of people, groups of people could no longer stand steadily, and fell into the river one after another, causing countless waves to splash.
Scattered gunshots rang out the moment the screams started, and the surging crowd formed a huge whirlpool. Some people were in the center of the whirlpool, and continuously squeezed their way towards the path in their hearts, while others were squeezed out of the whirlpool, and were scattered on the outside, trying to squeeze their way in. Other than the survivors who were waiting at the pier to retreat, there were also many soldiers who had rushed over. The soldiers had long lost their formation, and could only fight on their own. The number of zombies that rushed over was not high, and when these zombies appeared, they were also seen by the soldiers. The rifles in their hands continued to fire, but without a unified command, and without morale, the soldiers could only fight instinctively. The bullets from the trembling guns flew chaotically, and most of them missed. Even if they had a large number of soldiers, they could not stop the zombies in the slightest.
Many of the soldiers did not have enough ammunition on them, and after their last bullet was emptied, they panicked and ran backwards. The remaining soldiers saw their comrades running away, and lost the will to resist. In the end, even their last position was lost, and the soldiers were no different from the ordinary people.
They who were on a mission no longer posed any threat to the zombies, and without any resistance or threat, the zombies happily rushed into the crowd and began their bloody feast … …
