Chapter 186: The Western Expedition (11)
Li Yuanhong wiped the sweat from his forehead before opening the information he had just detected: level 16 shadow zombies.
Shadow zombies: Shadow zombies are mutated from shadow zombies. The zombies move faster and their front claws are sharper. They can easily cut through the armor of light tanks. The hind legs of the shadow zombies become more suitable for running and jumping, and the shadow zombies Zombies have evolved short-term invisibility skills. This invisibility is achieved by moving quickly, making it impossible for the eyes to detect his figure. Therefore, ordinary detection magic cannot crack this invisibility skill. The evolved shadow zombies are more suitable for assassination, so shadow zombies are called assassins in the zombie world.
Seeing this introduction, Li Yuanhong felt nervous. The zombies had appeared as assassins, and there was no way to detect them. This undoubtedly made it more difficult for his troops to attack, especially in a dim environment. Such zombies could easily bring danger to the troops. There were heavy casualties. It seemed that we had to find a way to research weapons to deal with such zombies when we got back.
At this time, the troops had set up defenses for the building, and gunfire rang out. Apparently the soldiers had started shooting at the groups of corpses outside.
At this time, Fatty Lu ran over: "Brother Li, everything is done. The zombies will definitely not be able to rush up in a short time." Fatty Lu said breathlessly. He must have used a lot of magic in a short period of time, which made Fatty Lu very tired.
"Okay, you can take a good rest later. When the time comes to fight, your magical support will be indispensable." Li Yuanhong said.
"Okay, leave the defense to me." Fatty Lu said, patting his chest.
Fatty Lu turned his head inadvertently and suddenly saw the corpse of a zombie lying in the corner. He jumped and immediately pulled out his knife: "Holy crap, there are zombies!"
"You're dead, don't be so nervous!" Li Yuanhong said calmly.
"Ah? He's dead, you scared me! How did this zombie rush up?" Fatty Lu said as he walked up to the zombie body and kicked it with his feet: "It turns out to be a shadow zombie!"
Fatty Lu could tell at a glance that this was a zombie that looked like a shadow zombie.
"You are taking a good look." Li Yuanhong said.
"Isn't it?" Fatty Lu used a knife to pull at the zombie's body, and finally saw something different this time.
"They look similar, but there seems to be a slight difference, but they are all the same. They are all dead!" Fatty Lu said carelessly.
Li Yuanhong was helpless. Fatty Lu was not good at this. He was always careless, so Li Yuanhong told him the attributes of the shadow zombies. After hearing this, Fatty Lu was speechless for a long time. This attribute is simply Fatty's nemesis. , properly killing his own existence instantly.
"Why are you scared?" Li Yuanhong smiled evilly.
"Who am I, Fatty Lu, that such a threat can scare me?" Although Fatty Lu said it very forcefully, Li Yuanhong felt a sense of lack of confidence in his tone.
"Okay, you don't have to act like a hero. Let's think about how to defend ourselves. I estimate that Commander Xing will send an airship to support us in half an hour." Li Yuanhong said.
"Okay!" Fatty Lu agreed, then glanced sideways at the shadow zombies lying on the ground, and then turned to check on the fighting situation of the soldiers.
With the siege of zombies, gunfire became more and more intensive. Yesterday, when we were drilling in the mine, in order to prevent the gas from exploding, everyone did not dare to fire at all. They could only compete with the zombies for physical strength. Now it is better. When we reach the ground, there are no restrictions, so the gunfire rang out. The soldiers were extremely dense, and the soldiers were almost venting their anger. Many of them fired into the corpses without taking aim.
Fortunately, the zombies were relatively dense and the soldiers shot from above. The zombies' heads were the first targets to be hit. Therefore, the zombies suffered heavy casualties in a short period of time.
But Li Yuanhong knew that this kind of uncontrolled waste of bullets would not last long, and he had to hold on for half an hour. Once the bullets were gone, the next battle would be difficult to fight.
"Fat man, guard, you two control your bullets and don't waste them. We have to hold on for at least half an hour and we must save bullets!" Li Yuanhong shouted.
"Yes!" Fatty shouted.
"Understood!" The guard rarely said two words.
But Li Yuanhong followed the shooting hole left in the window. Li Yuanhong saw that the zombies outside had surrounded the entire small building, and there were signs of zombies building corpse ladders in several places. If it was just a burst of fire, it would definitely not be able to stop the zombies' attack. Once zombies attack, especially the kind of shadow zombies, this army will be in danger.
"Weapon of large-scale destruction!" Li Yuanhong muttered, which reminded Li Yuanhong of the giant zombie he encountered at Wuxiong Base before. That giant zombie used a large-scale magic. If he could use this magic, he could directly use it. The attack of the zombie group was defused. Unfortunately, his space crack magic was considered a large-scale magic, but that magic could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
When Li Yuanhong was worrying about what to do, he suddenly thought that there were many modified cannonballs in his space. These cannonballs were used for the new magic cannon. The core of the cannonball was a magic energy array and the outside was a metal shell. The cannon was required to fire it, but Li Yuanhong seemed to I have seen records of people using cannonballs as grenades. I wonder if these magic cannonballs can be used as grenades?
Li Yuanhong just did it, took out a cannonball, and began to study it. Finally, Li Yuanhong really figured out some tricks, so Li Yuanhong dragged a cannonball to the roof platform. Then Li Yuanhong removed the fuse on the back of the cannonball, smashed it against the bottom and the fire point, and then threw the cannonball out.
As soon as the cannonball hit the ground, a magic ripple rippled out, and then the sound of an explosion was heard. At the explosion site, a large crater was immediately blown out of the zombie group.
When Li Yuanhong saw that the effect was good, he quickly called everyone: "Come here quickly. Everyone will receive two boxes of shells and throw them into the zombies."
Everyone saw Li Yuanhong throwing cannonballs just now. They had never played with cannonballs like this before, and their hands were itchy, so they all ran over to carry the cannonballs, especially the fat man, who was even more impatient. He just grabbed three boxes and ran away. In the area he was defending, he opened the shell box without saying a word, and threw out the shells one by one.
There was no movement below for a long time. Fatty Lu stretched his head and looked at the corpses blankly: "Brother Li, are the shells you gave me expired?"
Li Yuanhong was firing cannonballs just now. He didn't see how the fat man threw them, so he asked: "Why is it expired?"
"I threw it away, it didn't make any sound!" Fatty Lu said aggrievedly.
"It didn't ring? Why did you throw it?"
Fatty Lu grabbed another cannonball and threw it out. However, this cannonball hit a zombie's head directly. Although it didn't make any sound, it directly ripped open the zombie's head.
"That's how I throw it!" Fatty Lu said, pointing to the cannonball among the zombies below.
Li Yuanhong had a dark look on his face: "I just threw the cannonball, did you look carefully?"
"Look, didn't you just throw it away like that!" Fatty Lu said confidently.
Li Yuanhong really wanted to go up and give Fatty Lu a hard kick. However, this was not the time to compete with Fatty Lu, so he came to Fatty Lu, picked up a cannonball, demonstrated it again, and threw the cannonball. This time the cannonball was thrown very far, directly blasting a hole in the group of corpses.
"Did you see it? Throw it away like this!" Li Yuanhong said.
Fatty Lu giggled and said, "It's so troublesome. I thought it would be fine just by throwing it away." This time, Fatty Lu grabbed the last shell from the shell box and followed Li Yuanhong's demonstration just now. Throw it out.
Just when Fatty Lu was about to see the effect of throwing it, he heard the explosion of a cannonball, and the bombed limbs of the zombies in the corpse group were flying around. However, this was not over yet. After this explosion, a larger explosion followed. The sound of the explosion and the air wave from the explosion directly knocked Fatty Lu, who was leaning forward to watch, into a somersault.
"Damn it, should this explode? It shouldn't explode but it will explode instead!" Fatty Lu patted his butt and got up from the ground. The shell he threw just now directly detonated the three previous shells. This explosion, Directly clearing out a large area of zombies.
With the cannonballs, it was much easier for everyone to hold on. However, the cannonballs Li Yuanhong brought were not many. If they were used in a wasteful way like Fatty Lu, it is estimated that the cannonballs would not last long.
So Li Yuanhong quickly ordered: "Everyone, please pay attention to throwing the cannonballs in a rhythm, and don't throw the cannonballs all at once."
Li Yuanhong's words were obviously addressed to Fatty, and Fatty Lu didn't take it seriously, but the speed of throwing cannonballs had obviously slowed down.
With the help of artillery shells, everyone finally defended the seven-story building. The zombies were blown away by the bombs for a while. The only zombies that could get close to the building were scattered zombies. These zombies were named by the soldiers with rifles. However, as time passed, all the cannonballs were thrown away, and the zombies slowly surrounded them again.
Li Yuanhong was a little anxious when he saw the zombies swarming around him again. The ammunition was almost exhausted now, but more than half an hour had passed and the rescue airship had not been seen yet. Could there be something wrong with the airship?
Li Yuanhong is now afraid that there will be a problem with the rescue. Now he is in the zombie center. The twenty of him cannot defend this place without external aid.
While Li Yuanhong was anxious, several airships finally appeared in the sky in the distance. As the airships flew closer, the magic cannons on the airships began to fire. Soon, the small building was surrounded by magic cannon fire, and the crowded corpses were finally dispersed. , facing the airship flying two to three hundred meters high, the zombies were helpless. And as the airship approached, the gunshots on the airship also rang out, and the zombies fell down in droves.
At this time, there was a roar of zombies from the depths of the zombie group. Soon the zombie group evacuated the open space in front of the small building. Without the threat of zombies, an airship slowly descended. Li Yuanhong and others returned to the airship on the spider plant. After arriving on the airship, everyone fell on the floor of the airship without any image. In the past two days of fighting, Li Yuanhong and everyone had completely exhausted their physical strength.
After the airship returned to the base, Li Yuanhong took a short rest and began to hold a military meeting.
"This time we went to the mine and found that there were a large number of miner zombies hiding in the mine. Although their attack and defense power are not strong, they have strong earth magic. If we fight them in the mine, we will be very Suffer a loss." Li Yuanhong said, summarizing the characteristics of the zombies found in the mine.
"Then we leave these zombies alone?" Xing Ling asked anxiously. His soldiers died because they fell into the trap of these underground miner zombies.
"No, these zombies must be eliminated, otherwise they will be very harmful to us." Li Yuanhong said.
"Then how are we going to fight?" Xing Ling and the other officers looked at Li Yuanhong in confusion. They were certain that if they sent people into the mine, without Li Yuanhong's escort, few of them would be able to come back.
"If we don't go in and fight, let the zombies trap themselves to death." Li Yuanhong said.
"What? Let the zombies trap you to death?" Fatty Lu looked at Li Yuanhong in confusion.
