Shanghai Qiaoyun carried her sniper rifle and stood behind Zhang Xiaoqiang. If any man dared to look at her curvaceous body, she would immediately glare at them, and those men would naturally avert their gazes. If not for the fact that Shanghai Qiaoyun's figure was too attractive, they wouldn't have dared to look at Zhang Xiaoqiang's woman.
"The situation isn't good, prepare for the worst." Zhang Xiaoqiang lowered his binoculars and said to He Wen Bin.
Only he and He Wen Bin knew of the worst case scenario. Zhang Xiaoqiang had always acted as if he was going to advance and retreat with the base, but it was all for the sake of face. He had already prepared vehicles, supplies, and ammunition at a secret location at the foot of the mountain. If the base really couldn't take it, Zhang Xiaoqiang would bring the combat team members and 200 women and children to the foot of the mountain and escape in a car.
Zhang Xiaoqiang had always thought of himself as a small fry, a small fry who didn't have the resolve to die for a righteous cause. He definitely wouldn't have the retarded thought of sacrificing his family. To him, sacrificing for the most important and precious things was worth it, but to sacrifice his life for a few unrelated people, he didn't have the heart to do so. Naturally, he had prepared a path of retreat for himself, this was also his style.
He Wen Bin did not have any objections to Zhang Xiaoqiang's arrangements. In the end, if you don't look out for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you. The fact that Zhang Xiaoqiang was willing to bring along a disabled person like him made him feel gratified. The others didn't receive any news, and upon hearing Zhang Xiaoqiang's words, they couldn't help but feel anxious. Even Zhang Xiaoqiang had said to prepare for the worst, they didn't know if they could live to see tomorrow's sunrise.
The members guarding the platform waited from morning until noon. Even after lunch, there was still no response from the top of the guard tower. At that moment, the members below started to relax. Their platform was only 5 meters high, and they couldn't see the sea of corpses outside the formation. Relatively speaking, they were the group that had the least amount of pressure. Some smoked, some drank, and some even started to whisper to each other. Three didn't stop them.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's plan was to burn the sea of corpses inside the formation. Under normal circumstances, he and his subordinates wouldn't be needed. If they were needed, the base would already be destroyed. Furthermore, Three didn't know what Zhang Xiaoqiang's backup plan was, so he might as well let the members enjoy a rare moment of relaxation.
At first, they were whispering, but their voices gradually became louder, and the platform was filled with the sound of "Weng Weng". Seeing that Three didn't care about them, their voices became louder as well. Just when they were trying to communicate with each other, an ear-piercing alarm came from the top of the guard tower. All the members stopped what they were doing and started checking their machine guns and bullets. Their eyes stared at the low mud wall in the distance.
When Three heard the alarm, he didn't stand up from his seat. He looked at the mud wall and sighed in his heart. It was a pity that there were still 70,000 to 80,000 zombies roaming around in the neighboring county. If they could eliminate them, the base would have a path of retreat. What a pity.
The people standing on the watchtower could only see the sea of zombies approaching the numerous entrances behind the Bagua Formation. In their eyes, the zombies were not much bigger than ants and could not be seen clearly. However, Zhang Xiao Qiang could clearly see the wrinkles on the skin of the zombies walking at the very front. In his eyes, there was no end to the zombies horizontally and vertically, as they charged into the Bagua Formation without stopping for even a moment.
The zombies were like a tidal wave as they rushed into the Bagua formation. The empty spaces in the Bagua formation were quickly submerged by the black sea of corpses. Whether it was the countless dirt paths or the mounds of dirt, the zombies were slowly filling them up. Many of the zombies climbed up the mounds and fell to the ground, disappearing under the feet of the sea of corpses. Not even a ripple could be seen.
The sea of corpses at the front continued to submerge the Bagua formation, while the zombies at the back continued to push their way in. Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded to He Wen Bin who was beside him, and He Wen Bin's face turned gloomy as he received a small red flag from a person beside him and waved it.
Old Frank who was standing below saw the signal and opened up the fuel outlet of the fuel truck beside him. A strong smell of gasoline permeated the air, as the clear yellow gasoline flowed into a bucket beside his feet. Beside him, there were 3 other fuel trucks that were also pouring gasoline.
Further away in the Eight Trigrams Formation, on the square, on the dirt path, and at some corners, the inch-wide openings on the bamboo tubes buried in the small troughs on the ground were also constantly emitting the smell of gasoline.
Dozens of tons of gasoline flowed along the bamboo tubes buried in the ground to every corner of the Eight Trigrams Formation. In many low-lying areas, a lot of gasoline flowed out from the trenches on the ground, drenching the entire ground. In the huge Eight Trigrams Formation, apart from the rustling of the zombies, there was only a faint murmuring sound.
The sea of zombies slowly covered half of the area of the Bagua formation. Here, the zombies started to follow Zhang Xiao Qiang's plan and started to split up along the dirt road. It wasn't that they obeyed the traffic rules, it was just that the mud walls were no longer as short as before. The closer they got to the base, the taller and sturdier the mud walls were.
The sea of zombies followed the paths that were even more dense than spider webs and entered the small plazas, and then followed the paths that extended in all directions. Everything was as Zhang Xiao Qiang expected, the sea of zombies gradually split into many small streams, some of the small streams followed the intertwined paths to the entrance that they had entered from before, and were pushed to the ground by the sea of zombies, and were trampled into meat paste.
Other black streams formed by zombies slowly flowed into the 8 meter wide dirt road. The zombies continued to walk along the dirt road until they reached the two large plazas. They continued to walk forward until they hit the wall at the edge of the plaza. These zombies continued to hit the wall at the edge of the plaza, trying to find a path that would allow them to continue moving forward. Some of the zombies were lucky and found the path that they had come from, but before they could leave, they were submerged by the sea of zombies and finally became a meat patty on the ground.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang let out a sigh of relief. At least he had proved that the zombies were not a group of stubborn donkeys that would not turn back even if they hit a mountain. As long as the zombies had a direction to move forward, they would continue to move forward. Obviously, Zhang Xiaoqiang's Bagua formation made them unable to find a direction, and could only follow the route that he had set.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, I'm a little curious. How do you think these zombies know that we are here?
And why did they come directly to us?
Shouldn't they spread out to look for survivors? "
He Wen Bin asked his question. This question was something that Zhang Xiaoqiang had been thinking about for a long time.
"Didn't we frequently send out our team members during this period of time?
As long as they stay in one place for a long time, they will naturally leave behind a human scent. The zombies must have smelled the human scent before coming to us. "
Zhang Xiaoqiang said his conjecture, and as he spoke, he thought of another reason.
