Chapter 636: Shock in the Tree

The team continued to move forward, and it could be said that they encountered almost no resistance. Even if they encountered zombies, they were only a few here and there. A team of several thousand people could not pose any threat, not to mention that there were amphibious tanks covering them.

The smooth progress of the team encouraged Holden. He happily said to the adjutant beside him: "See, this is the beginning of our great victory. As long as we clean up the zombies around here, we can send heavy weapons to land. By then We can launch a comprehensive counterattack against the zombies on land, and maybe this year’s Thanksgiving, we can celebrate on the Eiffel Tower in Paris!”

"This is all due to the commander's skillful command, which allows our team to move forward smoothly. I think that when we go back, Mr. President will definitely give the general a big medal."

"Hahaha, that's for sure!" Holden accepted the flattery without ceremony.

Just when Holden was on the command ship, preparing to hold a celebration banquet, the team ahead encountered another wave of zombies. The number of this batch of zombies was still not very large, only a dozen, but even these dozen zombies left the front team responsible. The troops exploring the path spent a lot of ammunition to eliminate them.

When the veteran passed by these zombie corpses, he squatted down and looked at the zombie corpses carefully.

"Uncle, what's so interesting about these zombie corpses?" the soldier who had just grown up asked.

"I'm looking to see if these zombies are the zombies that should appear here." The veteran said.

"Isn't this zombie's body right here? Why do you say they shouldn't be here?"

"Boy, look, this area is the intersection of plains and hills. If someone deliberately hides behind these hills, once our team enters these plains, if those zombies emerge from behind those hills, we will There are no bunkers on these plains, and the zombies will easily rush into our team, and then it will be our end."

"How could this be the end of us?" the young man, who was a little fresh in junior high school, asked.

"You just used your rifle to attack these zombies from a distance. Have you ever thought about what you will do if these zombies attack you at close range?"

"Of course I shot him with a gun!" the young man said matter-of-factly.

"Hit with a gun? Do you think those zombies will stand there and let you hit them! Moreover, these zombies have very strong defense. At close range, you have no time to target their weak points. It is easy for you to shoot in the chaos. Hit your comrade." The veteran said.

"Then...can't I just run away?"

"Remember, don't leave your back to your enemies. It's no different from committing suicide." The veteran said seriously.

"Then..." The young man didn't know how to answer.

"If you have a cold weapon at hand, use it to fight. If not, use your gun as a melee weapon. Remember, melee combat is not your strong point. You must distance yourself from the opponent as soon as possible, so that you can survive."

"But if you don't let me escape, how can I keep the distance?" the recruit asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Oh, it's really a bad list of raw melons." The veteran shook his head helplessly.

"As long as you survive this battle, you will have learned how to retreat from the battle!" said the veteran.

Just when the recruit wanted to ask something, suddenly there was a loud gunshot in front, accompanied by a violent explosion, and among the explosions, human screams and wails could be faintly heard.

The veterans and recruits were startled at the same time and looked up in the direction of the gunfire. It was obvious that something was wrong with the search team in front. But before everyone understood what was happening in front, suddenly fierce gunfire rang out from both sides of the team. Cannon sound.

"No, we are surrounded by zombies!" The veteran was shocked, which made his hand holding the gun tremble.

Sure enough, when everyone was confused and didn't know why gunfire rang out from the other two sides, the intelligence manager of the advance team suddenly shouted: "We are surrounded, retreat!"

"Oops!" As soon as the veteran heard the officer's order, he immediately knew that the situation was about to reverse.

"Quick, follow me, no matter what happens, don't leave my side!"

"What's wrong? Uncle!"

"Don't ask so many questions, just follow me later!"

The veteran did not explain, because at this time the entire team was already in chaos.

The soldiers no longer had an orderly formation and turned around to run back. The amphibious tanks also turned around in a panic. This made the road that had not been maintained for several years suddenly become miserable. Some people even threw their vehicles in order to escape. The person blocking the road in front was pushed down, and the person who fell down was directly trampled by the person behind, making it difficult to get up.

The fallen people have become stumbling blocks. From time to time, people stumble on these people's bodies, which adds another stumbling block on the road.

The veteran did not turn around and ran, but quickly observed the terrain and led the recruits to a nearby grove.

Said to be a small forest, they are actually green trees planted on the roadside before the apocalypse. But after the apocalypse, these trees have grown rapidly without human intervention. Now there are more than a dozen trees, covering nearly a thousand square meters.

Because the veteran slowly moved toward the outside of the team, which was exactly the opposite of most people trying to squeeze into the middle of the team, this made him feel much more relaxed. After all, the veteran gave up his position, and others could easily get in. Why not.

The new soldier didn't know why the veteran was pushing outside, but out of trust in the veteran, he also ran outside. Soon, the two people ran out of the team.

As soon as he ran out of the team, the veteran saw nearly 10,000 zombies pressing towards the team less than a kilometer away.

The veteran just glanced at the zombies, ignored them, and continued to move forward. The new recruits were frightened by the scene in front of them. More than 10,000 zombies were pressing towards the human soldiers in droves. Along with the amphibious tanks that landed, there were still a few that were trying hard to shoot at the zombies, but the shells were stuck in the zombies. After being hit by the explosion, it did not cause much damage. Most of the zombies were only burned by the heat wave of the explosion, but the damage to the zombie body was not significant at all. If the tank's gunfire cannot cause damage to these zombies, then their rifles are even less likely to be effective. In other words, their weapons are ineffective.

"Silly boy, what are you still doing?"

Just when the recruit was in a daze, the veteran suddenly shouted.

The recruits suddenly woke up and rushed forward after the veterans. However, the recruit has a question. The direction he is running is towards the zombies. Doesn't this mean he will die?

However, out of trust in the veterans, the recruits just followed.

Soon, the two of them ran into the woods. The veteran chose a thick and tall tree and listened.

"Boy, can you climb trees?"

"Can...can crawl!" the recruit said breathlessly.

"Okay, then we have to climb a tree next!"

After saying that, the veteran put the gun behind him, hugged the tree tightly with both hands, then exerted force on his waist and began to climb up the tree.

When the young man saw it, his eyes showed deep admiration. You must know that if he could climb a tree, he would never be as agile as the veteran.

Just as the recruits were paying attention to the veterans climbing the tree, the roar of zombies suddenly came from the edge of the woods.

"Silly boy, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up!" The veteran shouted to the recruit in a low voice.

The recruit quickly imitated the veteran's behavior, put the gun behind his back, hugged the tree trunk tightly with both hands, and began to climb up. However, before he had climbed a few steps, he heard the footsteps of zombies, which made the recruit nervous. His body movements became stiff, and his climbing speed slowed down.

"Relax, don't think about the zombies, your goal is to climb the tree!" The veteran guided the recruits on the tree.

The recruit also knew that if he couldn't climb up at this time, he would definitely be discovered by these zombies, and he would be dead by then.

So the recruit took a sharp breath, and then climbed up with all his strength. Finally, when the first zombie was less than five meters away from their tree, the recruit finally grabbed a branch. As long as he turned over, he would be out of danger.

However, due to nervousness, his hands were stained with sweat. He lost his grip and his body suddenly fell to the bottom of the tree. At this moment, the recruit thought he was dead.

At this critical moment, the recruit's hand was held by a strong hand.

"Hold the tree trunk tightly, don't move yet!" The veteran's gentle voice came to my ears.

The recruit then opened his eyes and found that the veteran was holding his hand tightly. His legs were tightly wrapped around the branches and he was hanging upside down on the tree. Then he pulled him.

The recruit nodded, and then leaned hard against the tree. Due to a mistake just now, the recruit's entire body was now suspended. It was not that easy to hug the tree trunk again, and zombies had already appeared under them. Therefore, the recruit did not dare to make too much noise, which made his movements even more difficult.

However, driven by the desire to survive, the recruit finally hugged the trunk again, and the veteran also let go. Both of them hugged the trunk quietly and gasped for air. If the veteran couldn't hold on just now, the recruit would definitely fall. Feed the zombies.

However, just when the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, because the veteran was holding the overgrown tree trunk, his body was still under the tree trunk. At this moment, a drop of sweat on his cheek actually fell to the bottom of the tree, directly It dripped onto the shoulder of a zombie, which made the zombie smell human scent.

"Ow, ow!" The zombie roared twice, then stopped and began to look around, preparing to find the thing that exuded human aura.

However, there were only trees around and there were no human figures at all, so the zombie planned to raise his head and wait. As long as he raised his head, the two people on the tree would be discovered immediately.

Just when the zombie was about to search further, a beast-like zombie roar came from behind it. After hearing this, all the zombies immediately accelerated their pace and began to chase the humans in the direction of escape. The zombie that originally planned to raise its head to check also He gave up the search and accelerated towards the woods.
