Zhang Xiaoqiang did not pay attention to Wang Le's face that suddenly became cloudy. He ordered Wang Le to take out the gasoline that they had buried in the center of the gathering place and make it into incendiary bombs. Then he turned his attention back to the zombies on the other side of the river.
While he was talking with Wang Le, the corpses of the zombies had almost covered the white bones on the other side of the river. Countless zombies were no longer walking on the white bones, but on the corpses of their own kind. The black sea of zombies in the distance seemed to be preparing to move.
The sea of zombies was moving, but only Zhang Xiao Qiang and a few others could see it. The rest of the people were attracted by the scattered line of zombies. The sea of zombies was like a mountain or a wall, slowly pressing forward step by step. The land of the 2km stretch of land seemed to be swallowed up by the black tide. The ground slowly disappeared, and what replaced it were countless black zombies.
The zombies slowly moved forward two kilometers away. They walked very steadily, so the shooting team members could not feel the movement of the zombies. When the zombies advanced from two kilometers to one and a half kilometers away, many people reacted. Their hearts suddenly tightened. The shooting speed increased again. The bullets flew like a storm towards the scattered zombies.
The sea of zombies was still advancing steadily. Countless zombies separated from the sea of zombies and spread out to replenish the exhausted zombies. The endless sea of zombies was like a huge beehive. It slowly moved towards the wall. While moving, countless small black dots spread out from the beehive and rushed towards the gathering place. It was like countless bees looking for pollen and nectar.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes were fixed on the slowly moving sea of zombies. The sea of zombies was moving slowly, but it gave them a lot of pressure. It almost made Zhang Xiaoqiang's straight back bend. Huang Quan who was beside Zhang Xiaoqiang was giving out all kinds of orders while looking at Zhang Xiaoqiang, waiting for Zhang Xiaoqiang to give the order to open fire.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the endless sea of zombies. He felt that he was facing an ancient demon army. Beside him on the two layers of wall, there were countless soldiers waiting for the final battle. Although there were countless soldiers by his side, he did not feel any sense of security. It was as if he was standing alone in the wilderness, silently waiting for the demon army to drown him.
Gunshots, shouts, and the rustling sound of the zombies moving in the opposite direction intertwined in the air, forming a sound wave with a strong aura of death. It pressed down on the center of the gathering place, and then suddenly dispersed, causing every survivor who heard the sound wave to suddenly turn pale.
When the sea of zombies was about one kilometer away, Zhang Xiaoqiang turned his head and stared at Huang Quan. Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Huang Quan solemnly and nodded his head. Huang Quan nodded his head and gave the order to the heavy artillery team.
"Rumble …"
The cannons roared and the shells made a long whistling sound in the sky. A few huge fireballs exploded in the sea of zombies. In the smoke, dozens of zombies flew up into the sky and fell down in pieces. The fireballs were extinguished but the smoke did not dissipate. The place where the explosion occurred had cleared a gap of tens of meters. Countless zombies were knocked down by the shockwave. More zombies flowed back like seawater and filled the gap in a few seconds. All the zombies that fell were stepped on by other zombies.
Each shell could tear apart dozens of zombies and overturn hundreds of zombies. Each shell could kill close to two hundred zombies. Unfortunately, it did not have much effect on the millions of zombies. It was like throwing a stone into a calm lake. No matter how big the stone was, it would disappear after a few waves.
Of course, the large caliber shell was not completely useless. At least it allowed the zombies to move forward and also caused a lot of casualties. At one kilometer away, the zombies were still in a few minutes. The shrapnel and shockwave from the explosion caused the sea of zombies to lose close to ten thousand zombies. The zombies that were knocked down by the shockwave were trampled to death by the tens of thousands of zombies in the sea of zombies. If Zhang Xiaoqiang had enough cannons and the battlefield was a little smaller, maybe a third of the sea of zombies would be killed before they could even get close to the wall.
There were only five cannons and each cannon only had three hundred shells. The cannons had a little more shells which were only nine hundred 76mm high explosive shells. Zhang Xiaoqiang still hoped to use these shells to eliminate the Z-Types. At this time, firing the cannons was just to raise the morale of the troops. After five minutes of rapid fire, the cannons went silent again. The sea of zombies was still rushing towards the wall.
The cannons were not completely useless. The sea of zombies finally stopped spreading. The scattered zombies adjusted themselves and rushed towards the wall as a whole. Maybe the Z-Types also realized that scattered zombies did not have much of an effect on the wall. When the number of zombies did not form an absolute advantage, they would only be defeated one by one.
The sea of zombies rushed towards the wall step by step. The soldiers on the first layer of the wall felt a chill in their hearts. Their wall was only four meters high. The traces of the previous battle were still left under the wall. Countless white bones piled up to form a slope. At the end of the slope was the top of the wall. If the zombies got close, the zombies would rush up along the slope. Without a moat, without cover, they would definitely not be able to hold on for long. From time to time, they would look at the top of the wall behind them, hoping that the commanding personnel above would allow them to retreat.
When the zombies reached a distance of eight hundred meters, all of the 12.7mm heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time. One hundred and forty to fifty huge light chains spread out horizontally, weaving a large net that covered a few kilometers on the battlefield. As long as the large net slightly brushed against the zombies, it would be like being hit by a bullet, shattering and scattering.
Over a hundred heavy machine guns were like a plough that could be extended infinitely, plowing large trenches in the zombie tide that could not be filled up. Zhang Xiao Qiang, who was standing on top of the wall, was overwhelmed by the firepower of over a hundred heavy machine guns. Over a hundred thick and long light chains set off tsunami-like waves in the sea of zombies. Countless zombies were turned into pieces, swept up into the air, and fell down one after another. At the same time of falling, new pieces flew up into the air.
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not have the mood to look at the metal tide set off by more than a hundred heavy machine guns. He only stared at the zombies, the metal storm set off a thick layer of broken corpses in the sea of zombies like a thick layer of rain, shrouding the heads of the sea of zombies. The broken corpses seemed to be endless, as long as the bullets spread out, there would be broken corpses flying up. Then, Zhang Xiaoqiang's sharp eyes discovered that the seemingly unstoppable tide of zombies had already collapsed. On the neat and dense horizontal line, countless huge gaps appeared in the sea of zombies. Although the sea of zombies was still continuously filling in the gaps, the speed at which they were filling in could not keep up with the speed at which they were being suppressed. Finally, the zombies began to slowly split apart, breaking into several pieces. In some places, the zombies were slowly being suppressed, and in some places, because of the net of firepower, the zombies were separated from the main force and began to move forward.
The tide of zombies dispersed, and countless zombies formed groups and rushed towards the wall. Even more zombies were being suppressed by the heavy machine guns. At this time, most of the people let out a sigh of relief. As long as the zombies did not all come together, they would have a chance to defeat them one by one.
Seeing that the tide of zombies was being suppressed, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt at ease, but it was a pity that because he had to weave the firepower, there were many places that he could not take care of. The tide of zombies was divided into three groups, crossing a distance of six hundred meters and approaching the wall. Although they were able to stop nearly half of the sea of zombies from advancing, they could not stop the other half.
Even if only half of the sea of zombies rushed towards the wall, the pressure that the soldiers on the wall faced did not reduce. Not to mention half, even half of the sea of zombies was ten times more than the number of soldiers on the wall. Compared to before, even if the frontline was covered with ten to twenty thousand zombies, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Just when the rifleman was extremely anxious, more than ten muffled sounds came from the wall. "Tong tong tong …"
The long-awaited 82mm mortar was finally fired. This time, the 82mm mortar was supplemented with more than four thousand shells. More than ten shadows swept across the sky and heavily smashed into the sea of zombies. Fire exploded, and countless black smoke rose from the sea of zombies. Under the sky that was dyed black by the smoke, the tide of zombies slowed down, and then the zombies fell to the ground.
