Chapter 637: Failed Landing
The giant zombie just paused for a moment, and then roared in front of him. The roar was so loud that the ears of the two people on the tree were buzzing. However, the two of them still hugged the tree trunk with their hands and did not dare to let go. They could only endure it. With.
After the giant zombie roared, it began to stride out of the woods, and soon disappeared outside the woods.
At this time, the two people on the tree breathed a sigh of relief. The veteran climbed up the branch again, and then pulled the recruit up the trunk.
"Uncle, why don't we retreat with the troops?"
"Retreating with them will only lead to death. The zombies are attacking from three sides. Why not attack from four sides?"
"Are there no zombies behind us?"
"This is possible, but there is another possibility, that is, the zombies deliberately left a gap. We know that there is a way to retreat, so we will not have a firm will to fight. Moreover, the commander just issued a retreat order."
"Shouldn't we retreat?"
"Retreat? Of course we have to retreat. You saw the zombies that passed under the tree just now. They are completely different from the zombies we encountered before. These zombies are not something we can deal with." The veteran said.
"Then why don't you take the commander's retreat order seriously?"
"He wasn't retreating, he was running away, and he was still running around. This is not an order that a commander should give. I doubt this guy has ever been on the battlefield." The veteran said excitedly.
"Then what do you think should be called a retreat?"
"Retreating, of course, is to cover each other and gradually retreat to the shore. In this way, even if there are zombies chasing us, the team will not be rushed by the zombies at once, and it will also cause certain casualties to the zombies."
"Wouldn't that slow down the retreat?"
"Hmph, that kind of blind running will slow you down! Didn't you see the scene of that man pushing others? In order to escape for one's life, there is no fucking military honor. I really don't know where these soldiers came from. Yes!" the veteran said angrily.
Just when the veterans were filling up, the landing troops encountered big trouble. Since the retreat was to compete with who could run faster, the team was slowly stretched and the commander actually drove his car and ran away first, sending his soldiers far away. Throw it far behind you.
But the distance here from the coast is not just one or two kilometers, but more than ten kilometers. Running such a long distance, let alone normal people, even evolved people would find it difficult to keep running such a long distance.
But there is no need to worry about the zombies. Their infinite physical strength, which belongs to the BUG, makes them closer and closer to the human team. Even the soldiers running at the back can hear the footsteps of the zombies.
"Help, the zombies are coming!" The soldier running at the end turned his head and looked behind him, and was shocked because the zombies were less than twenty meters away from him, and the distance between the two sides was still getting closer. More importantly, the soldier's legs felt like they were filled with lead.
Finally, when the zombie was less than two meters away from the soldier, the zombie suddenly jumped high and rushed towards the soldier.
The last sound the soldier made was a hoarse roar, and then his voice was covered up by the corpses. However, this scream before death was not the end, but the beginning, and more and more The soldiers were overtaken by the zombies, and one after another, the soldiers were knocked down by the zombies, and then died on the way to retreat.
At this time, the commander sitting in the car was holding a walkie-talkie and calling for support from the fleet.
"We are logging in as a forward force. Now we are besieged by zombies. Please support us! Please support us!"
"Report your location!"
"Our position is at XXX, requesting artillery support, requesting artillery support!"
"Understood, please move closer to the shore quickly. Fire support will be here soon."
The commander's voice made the driver very puzzled.
"Commander, the soldiers behind have not withdrawn yet. If the cannon is fired, won't those soldiers also be bombed?"
"Hmph, what do you know! If we don't fire, can those people survive? Why not let them become bait to attract zombies and make some contribution to our next landing!" the commander said matter-of-factly.
The driver felt a chill in his neck when he heard this. He had secretly made up his mind to find a way to be transferred out of here as soon as he got back. If he followed this commander, he might not be used as cannon fodder by him one day and die.
Within a minute, the sound of artillery shells piercing the air was heard above the speeding jeep, and then a violent explosion occurred not far behind the car. The power of this naval gun was beyond the capabilities of the amphibious tanks that landed. Incredibly, the group of corpses was instantly covered by artillery fire. The zombies that were not afraid of gunfire just now were immediately blown to pieces by the naval gun.
However, the artillery fire also completely killed the soldiers who landed. For a moment, the entire road began to burn, and both zombies and humans fell down in the burning flames.
"Hahaha, be happy, this is the fate those zombies should have!" The commander looked at the zombies who were killed behind him and laughed, without any regret at all for causing innocent soldiers to die tragically due to his orders.
"Damn it, what's going on with this naval gun? How come it's blowing up even our own people!"
Hiding in the woods, the veteran used his binoculars to see everything that had just been shelled. To be honest, if the artillery fire had been moved just a little bit behind the team, the vast majority of soldiers would have survived.
The road now mixed with blood and scorched earth has become the final graveyard of these first batch of landing soldiers. Even those who were lucky enough to survive were frightened by the hellish scene in front of them.
The commander who caused this tragedy had already driven back to the temporary camp on the shore and began to report his achievements to his superiors.
"Sir, we have successfully completed the investigation mission. Although the zombies on the stall have been cleaned up, there are a large number of zombies gathering near the coast, and there are intelligent zombies inside. We were ambushed by the zombies!"
"Oh? Are there intelligent zombies? What type of intelligent zombies are they?"
"This...should be a giant zombie, but it was too far away and I couldn't see it clearly!"
In fact, the commander did not see the giant zombie at all. When he looked back, the road was full of zombies and soldiers knocked to the ground by the zombies. The giant zombie was always behind the zombies. If you want to detect him, you must stop the car. The commander didn't have the guts to find a high ground for observation.
"Oh, giant zombie! This is really troublesome!" The officer only recorded the commander's words and did not reconcile. accept any instructions or even criticism.
When the commander exited the battle room, the officer immediately showed the commander's report document to Horton.
Holden was in a very bad mood at this time. He originally thought that a few cannon shots would wipe out the zombies, or that he could even recover Europe very quickly, just like Patton did back then.
But the reality disappointed him. The team of more than 2,000 people was completely wiped out in less than a few hours. As for how it was wiped out, it was not important to Holden. What was important was that for the first time, he The attack ended in failure.
"How many soldiers did that commander bring back?"
"Report to the general, only he and the driver survived?" Holden's voice was a little out of tune this time. It was obvious that the death and injury of these two thousand people had a great impact on him. You must know that in this end of the world, human resources are important resources, with such casualties. If you don't do well, you will be removed from your post by your superiors.
"Hmph, such a command is not good. Let's take him into custody first and deal with it later. You send out drones to detect the movement of zombies and search for other survivors by the way!"
"yes!"
The landing operation failed, and only the veterans and new recruits were still alive.
"Uncle, why don't we go down?"
"No, there are still zombies around now. With our weapons, it is considered a blessing from God to be able to deal with one or two zombies, but if we encounter a group of zombies, we have only one way to die."
"Weren't all those zombies killed by the explosion?"
"Do you think those zombies are so stupid? I think those who were killed were only a few zombies. The real main force of zombies has not appeared. Let's wait in the tree now. When things become clear, it will not be too late to leave."
"But what if the fleet withdraws?" the recruit asked worriedly.
"Probably not!" When the veteran said this, he felt very unsure.
The two of them were waiting for reinforcements on the tree, but except for a few drones flying from the sky, the fleet never sent anyone to land, and zombies appeared from time to time around them. Although the number was not large, their level was not that of a tree. The two people above can handle it.
Although the two were safe in the tree, problems soon arose.
"Gulu..."
The young man's stomach rumbled unsatisfactorily.
"What? Are you hungry?" the soldier asked.
"It's okay, I can still hold on!" the recruit said, suppressing his hunger.
"Okay, don't be brave. I still have a few biscuits here. Remember to bring some food with you in the future. In this apocalypse, food is the most indispensable!" the veteran taught.
"Yes, yes!" The recruit didn't care so much. He took the veteran's compressed biscuit, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
"Eat slowly, be careful not to choke!" The veteran looked at the recruit lovingly and said.
"Why don't you eat it?" The recruit asked when he saw that the veteran did not eat the biscuit in his hand.
"I'm not hungry yet, you go ahead and eat!" The veteran was obviously lying, because his stomach also made a "gurgling" sound.
"Uncle also lied!" the recruit teased the veteran.
"I can't stop your mouth!" The veteran glared at the recruit angrily.
The new soldier wanted to make fun of the veteran, but because he ate too hard, he choked and started hiccupping non-stop.
"I told you to slow down, but you just didn't listen!" The veteran quickly came over and gently patted the recruit on the back. Originally, he should have drank some water at this time, but when Shan had no choice but to escape just now, the kettle was gone.
It took a long time for the recruit to recover. At this time, the recruit suddenly remembered a question and asked: "Uncle, why did you save me today?"
The veteran looked at the recruit lovingly: "You remind me of my child. If he is still alive, he should be about the same age as you. It's a pity that the end of the world has come!"
After saying this, the scene suddenly fell into silence!
