Chapter 172 The Conspiracy Is Exposed
Seeing that the humans had withdrawn, Commander Chen quickly counted the losses. Fortunately, in the attack just now, the zombie losses were acceptable. There were only more than 200,000 zombie casualties, most of which were caused by the first wave of mountain collapse. The human attack was also It caused tens of thousands of zombie casualties. Therefore, Commander Chen did not take human attacks seriously.
After arranging the team, Commander Chen led the remaining 800,000 zombies to continue moving forward. Today, Commander Chen was determined to completely solve the stumbling block of Wu Xiong.
There were no more human ambushes on the road. Looking at Wu Xiong's base from a distance, Commander Chen felt a little excited because he could finally capture the base.
This time, Commander Chen did not follow the zombies in. It would be bad if someone saw him, so Commander Chen hid far away again, preparing to watch the fun.
The zombie crowds crowded towards the city wall, and the artillery fire on the city wall began to roar. Soon, countless zombies fell on the charging road, and not long after, those annoying aerial knights appeared again, so the zombies had to risk The two sides attacked from a pincer attack, and the casualties suddenly increased.
Wu Xiong doesn't care about this kind of casualties at all. What he wants is the casualties of ordinary zombies. Only in this way can he quickly build a corpse ladder and then invade the base. Commander Chen estimates that more than 100,000 people will die, and this corpse ladder will be built. .
Sure enough, as the corpse ladder piled up higher and higher, the corpse ladder slowly approached the city wall, but at this moment, a lot of gasoline was poured on the city wall, and then many torches were thrown down, and the pile of corpses began to burn. Apparently, the people in the city Of course, Commander Chen wanted to prevent the corpse ladder from burning down, so many zombies with supernatural powers appeared in front of the pile of corpses. These zombies began to cast spells on the pile of corpses. They all had water magic powers. One by one, water balls shot towards the corpse. The pile of corpses flew away, intent on extinguishing the flames.
However, the soldiers on the city naturally would not let these zombies cast spells, and soon the attacks hit these zombies, especially from the sky, where many arrows were shot down.
At this time, Commander Chen saw how powerful the feather arrows were. He saw that the supernatural zombies with magic shields were unable to withstand the five feather arrows in the sky. Many zombies were shot through the shields by the feather arrows and fell straight down. Go down.
At this time, Commander Chen saw the danger of the feather arrows and reacted immediately. Many shield bearers swarmed up to protect these water magicians. However, there were not only archers on the city, but also artillery and rockets. These shield bearers could protect the bows and arrows, but they could not withstand the rocket attacks. Those shields were either blown away by the rockets or shattered by the rockets. In the end, The water-type zombies with supernatural powers were also exposed.
Seeing that a strong attack was not possible, Commander Chen had no choice but to start a secret operation. He had already ordered the zombies to dig tunnels out of the range of bows and arrows, and piled the excavated soil under the city. This forced the city to divide its troops to defend the city. Commander Chen believed that, If his level 10 or above zombies sneak in from under the city, they will definitely cause panic within Wu Xiong. When the time comes, it will be easy to break through this base.
It's a pity that Commander Chen's dream did not come true. The zombies who dug tunnels into the city were shot in the head by the gunmen guarding the entrance of the cave as soon as they emerged and died. Later, Wu Xiong sent water pumps to fill the caves with water. Soon the caves were filled with water, which was equivalent to blocking the caves from one side.
The piles of soil were somewhat high, but during the process of transporting the soil, the zombies who transported the soil lacked necessary protection, and many of them directly became moving targets. This greatly increased the casualties of the zombies. In just one hour, the zombies were injured. Nearly fifty thousand.
Although the zombie losses are heavy, Commander Chen is not worried. He has enough zombies. Especially when night is coming, this time is conducive to zombie attacks. Moreover, after most of the day of fighting, humans are already very sleepy. This is the time to break through the human defense. .
As night falls slowly, Commander Chen has a proud smile on his face. The balance of victory has begun to tilt towards him. At this time, human attacks have weakened significantly, especially the annoying gryphon knight in the sky has also disappeared. This means that the zombies The group can attack without restraint.
Under the night sky, only the city wall was lit with torches, and the range of illumination was very limited. Therefore, Commander Chen secretly asked the zombies to build an earthen platform opposite the city wall. As long as the earthen platform was built as high as the opposite city wall, the zombies could stand between the earthen platform and the city wall. If you build a bridge, the zombie army will be able to invade the base without any hindrance.
However, at this moment, the sound of "gurgling" water was heard. Commander Chen was very puzzled, had he not heard of any rivers around here? Just when Commander Chen was wondering, the sound of the water became louder and turned into a roaring roar. Now the zombies who were digging into the mountain were unlucky and were swallowed up by the raging flood.
Commander Chen finally knew where the water came from. There was a river near Wu Xiong's base. Wu Xiong obviously diverted the water from this river, and Wu Xiong only released the water at night, obviously to prevent himself from being aware of it in advance. It seemed that this time The attack was about to fail again.
The flood came and went quickly. After the flood, Commander Chen felt the zombies. This time, more than half of the zombies were lost. Now the total number of zombies is less than 300,000. The reason why the loss is so huge is that the opponent is The other party made a sneak attack in the middle of the night, leaving him defenseless. Many zombies were piled up together. The high-density zombies increased the number of casualties. Moreover, the entrance to Wuxiong Base was in a canyon terrain, with a road in the middle and mountains on both sides. This restricted the flow direction of the water, and this terrain increased the impact of the water flow, so Commander Chen suffered a heavy loss.
After the flood, all the zombies in front of the Wuxiong Base were washed away, and the piles of dirt that the zombies had just piled up were also washed down. The ground became muddy, with water and mud everywhere, and it was hard to tell where there were pits. Hedong, if he directed the zombie attack at this time, not to mention the insufficient number of zombies, and the road turned into a quagmire, it would also be very laborious for him to attack, so Commander Chen was ready to retreat.
When Commander Chen returned to the camp, the east was already white, and it was about to dawn. As soon as Commander Chen entered his office, he threw himself on the sofa. He was tired from day and night. Even though he was an evolved person, he still felt a little tired. .
At this time, Chen Shaokun hurriedly walked in: "Uncle, it's not good!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Chen frowned. Recently, whenever Chen Shaokun came to report, he always brought bad news.
"What happened?" Commander Chen asked impatiently.
Chen Shaokun was stunned for a moment. His uncle had never spoken to him in this tone before.
"Uncle, it was leaked that you led zombies to attack Wuxiong Base yesterday!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing that the attack on Wuxiong Base was leaked, Commander Chen immediately stood up from the sofa. This was no small matter. Could it be that there was another traitor? If there is a traitor, then this person is the biggest suspect...
Thinking of this, Commander Chen stared at his nephew with an indescribable look.
"Uncle, it's true. Today you led the zombies to attack the Wu Xiong base, and the leaflets were distributed everywhere!" With that, Chen Shaokun took out a leaflet and handed it to Commander Chen.
Commander Chen took the flyer and saw a large photo on it. The photo showed Commander Chen commanding the zombies to attack the human soldiers on the cliff. There was a caption below: The traitor of mankind sold himself to the zombies and relied on the zombies to give him the power. Power, trying to rule mankind. In order to stop the zombie army's attack, Commander Wu Xiong fought against the zombie army led by the human traitor Commander Chen. In just one ambush, nearly 200,000 zombies were eliminated. Commander Wu Xiong declared that humans should unite to resist Zombies!
Seeing this, Commander Chen was angry and tore the brochure into pieces: "How many people have seen this leaflet?"
"Uncle, the streets are full of them now. Even several nearby bases have these flyers."
Hearing this, Commander Chen calmed down. This matter was weird. Printing leaflets was easy before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, where did Wu Xiong print it? There is also this photo, which was taken from the air, but the resolution of the photo is too high. There is no such equipment in the entire mountain base now. It seems that there is someone behind this to support Wu Xiong. Suddenly Commander Chen thought of something.
"Shaokun, what's the attitude of the teachers and commanders about this matter?"
"Uncle, this is exactly why I came here. Ever since the rumors started two days ago, the attitude of the division commanders toward us has been somewhat ambiguous. Especially in the past two days, they seem to be holding a wait-and-see attitude."
"Humph, they are a bunch of losers! Usually they are more aggressive than others when they ask for favors from me, but now they want to see me laugh! Are your subordinates still stable?"
"There is no problem with my troops. As long as uncle says a word, I guarantee that they will be able to go to war immediately!" Chen Shaokun assured.
"Okay, I'll invite these division commanders to a meeting later, and then we'll replace them with obedient ones. I don't believe we can't cure them!" Commander Chen said.
"Then...Uncle, why should we look for them?"
Commander Chen lowered his head and thought for a moment: "In this case, let's negotiate with them about this year's autumn harvest!"
"Okay, depending on the food issue, they won't be able to come. If they don't come, their food will be cut off." Chen Shaokun also said harshly.
That afternoon, when Commander Chen just woke up from his lunch break, Chen Shaokun ran in again: "Uncle, something is wrong!"
"What's going on? Shaokun, can't you calm down?"
"Those teachers collectively will not come to the meeting!" Chen Shaokun said.
"What? Aren't they afraid that we will run out of food?"
"Well... how about we do something ruthless and send people quietly..." Chen Shaokun made a murderous gesture.
"No, there's no guarantee. Those guys also have people with supernatural powers. It's very difficult to get close to them!"
"Uncle, you forgot, the new Wei Yong is good at invisibility!" Chen Shaokun reminded.
"Have you verified this person? Is it reliable?" Commander Chen asked again.
"Reliable, this guy is fine!"
"Okay! Deal with it as soon as possible. It must be clean and tidy. It's best to make it look like you will die of illness, you know!" said Army Commander Chen.
"I understand, uncle, don't worry!" Chen Shaokun accepted the order and went down.
Looking at Chen Shaokun's back, Commander Chen also fell into deep thought. Recently, he was always one step ahead of others in what he was doing. Was it necessary for him to investigate this nephew as well?
Just before Commander Chen could get over the failure of another attack, something went wrong with the assassin sent by Chen Shaokun, and Commander Chen's assassination plan was revealed to the world again. In one day, Commander Chen found that the valley base he had finally established was about to face betrayal and separation.
In fact, Commander Chen didn't know that there was a very inconspicuous listening device under his desk, which was listening to every word he said.
