Chapter 0578 Coexisting with the City

Defending a city against zombies is naturally different from defending a city in the traditional sense.

Zombies won't carry ladders up the wall and shoot arrows while shooting, but there are many of them, and they don't know what life and death are.

Noshak was assassinated, leaving Liu Jun, who was also the leader of the Destiny Sect, uncertain about his life or death. This made him extremely angry. Starry Night commanded the zombie army to the Sacred Tree City. On the first day of the zombie siege, Shenshu City encountered a crisis. Those skeleton zombies that can climb walls pose a huge threat to the soldiers defending the city. Fortunately, Dong Shanhe, Qin Xiaoyan and others rushed back to the city at the critical moment.

The reason why Dong Shanhe was able to run back to the city first was because the direction in which he diverted the zombies was not too far away from the Divine Tree City. After breaking out of the first wave of zombies, he found that all the soldiers he was protecting were dead. Dong Shanhe began to think of a way to escape. On the way back to the city, he met Ye Liangchen and several beast tamers.

Qin Xiaoyan and others hid in the tunnel for a night. They did not come out of the tunnel entrance until everyone was relieved of their poisoning. Then they fought all the way, avoiding the larger group of corpses and returned to the Divine Tree City. Before these people could rest after their return, they rushed to the north city wall with the soldiers to add more troops, temporarily putting the Divine Tree City out of crisis.

In the next few days, the soldiers and mutants took turns to rest, and the civilians in the city also began to help defend the city. There were only a thousand defenders left on the city walls in the three directions of east, west and south. The others all gathered on the north city wall to face the continuous tide of corpses.

Relying only on cold weapons, it was a miracle that the soldiers and civilians of Shenshu City were able to defend the city for six full days under the impact of the huge zombie wave. So when Qin An ran around the city wall, what he saw shocked him.

From the 100-meter-high "Throwing Tower" to the 80-meter-high "Knife Hand Fortress" to the 50-meter-high city wall corridor below, there are people everywhere!

Half of the sergeants on the corridor were already asleep, while the other half were old, weak, women and children. They kept transporting various items to the hands of the defenders on the two floors above.

Occasionally, a sergeant would wake up from the corridor, take a spoonful of wild vegetable rice porridge with almost no rice visible from the open-air cauldron placed on one side, and drink it in large gulps, then pick up the knife and rush up to the second-floor "Knife Hand Fortress." Some of the soldiers guarding the city would faint due to exhaustion, and the old and weak women and children responsible for logistics would carry them to the corridor to give them water and treat them. The soldiers on the throwing tower were not so lucky. Many soldiers fell directly into the zombies under the city after fainting due to loss of strength.

Qin An had to admit that Dong Junwei was really the best city lord he had ever seen in the apocalypse. Otherwise, it would be impossible for these soldiers and civilians to have given up their resistance at such a critical moment. Trust in the leader makes these people feel that they still have hope and a future, so they can persist.

Qin An also saw Chen Ci, Gong Xue and other mutants from western Tibet in the crowd; he also saw students Ye Tao, Lan Miao, Lin Yang and two reporters Mei Zijun and Liu Ying. He also saw Jie Si, Wang Hui, Wang Yunzhi, Liu Tian, ​​Zhou Jiawei et al.

Hey, it seems that in the end of the world, only these mutants will have a chance to survive after leaving the protection of the city wall!

It's just that these mutants seem to have reached their physical limit at this time. Their parasitic mutant beasts can no longer be summoned out of the body. They just guard behind the Sword Hand Fortress with long knives, and they mechanically chop and climb up like other soldiers defending the city. The zombies, the TC virus in their bodies are so tired that they enter a dormant state, and these mutants are not much stronger than ordinary people.

While helping to defend the city, Qin An moved around to provide support, and finally saw Liu Ru.

This beautiful woman is standing alone behind a sword-hand fortress, with a large bamboo basket placed next to her, and what is placed in the bamboo basket is her own body!

Feeling excited in his heart, Qin An felt that this mother-in-law was indeed destined to him and had taken good care of his body without any damage.

But didn't she originally use an iron box to contain herself? Why did you change it to this bamboo basket?

Qin An looked at Liu Ru again and found that she was holding a sledgehammer in her hand.

This hammer is too big! Its hammer handle is three meters long, but the diameter of the hammer head is two meters long! It looks like it weighs not more than 1,000 kilograms, but maybe 800 kilograms.

Liu Ru held a hammer in both hands and smashed all the zombies that were climbing up into meat. She looked very strong and brave.

Couldn't this hammer be transformed by Granny Rong? Qin An guessed so.

And what Qin An thought was actually the truth.

Granny Rong and Liu Ru naturally also participated in the battle to defend the city. Granny Rong was extremely tired after a few days. She used her last strength to transform into this hammer, and then let her mental power enter a completely dormant state. She needed some time to rest. .

The Sword God in Liu Ru's body is a super body, which gives Liu Ru super strength and endurance, so although she is mentally tired, she can still use her powers naturally.

Sighing in his heart, Qin An did not step forward. He was a wolf at this time and had no way to communicate with Liu Ru.

When she finds a chance, let Xiaoyan go find Gong Xue to see if she can get herself back to her original form.

Now is obviously not the time, because the zombies under the city are attacking too fiercely! And judging by Gong Xue's appearance, it was obvious that she was extremely exhausted. She probably needed to rest even if she had the ability to return to her original form.

In this way, Qin An continued to run back and forth on the pontoon behind the Sword Hand Fortress, and then quickly stepped forward to support him if he saw which side was attacked by zombies or was in danger.

Throughout the night, thousands of soldiers guarding the city died, while tens of thousands of zombies died below the city. All the corpses were piled under the city wall, making the long triangle almost ten meters taller. This meant that Zombies will reach the second-floor Knifehand Fortress platform more easily and quickly.

All the guards on the walls were exhausted.

The soldiers who had rested for a few hours on the corridor began to wake up. Most of them rushed to the second-story Swordsman Fortress to replace the soldiers guarding the city without even eating breakfast.

The children in the city have already gotten up. They are collecting edible wild vegetables in every corner of the city, digging for earthworms, catching mice, and cleaning grass roots. All of this will become the next meal for the entire city's soldiers and civilians.

Qin An finally saw the city lord Dong Junwei ascending the city wall.

There was sad news that Qin An heard from the logistics staff on the corridor just before dawn. The deputy city lord Qin Yuanshan had died in the line of duty. When he was personally commanding on the second floor of the Swordsman Fortress, a d2 jumping zombie broke through the defense and rushed up, biting him.

Although Dong Shanhe, the nearest mutant, arrived as quickly as possible and killed the d2 jumping zombies, Qin Yuanshan still turned into a corpse and was killed by Dong Shanhe with tears in his eyes and thrown under the city.

This incident happened during the day yesterday. Dong Junwei and Qin Yuanshan were old comrades-in-arms for many years. After hearing that Qin Yuanshan died, he immediately fainted and his body collapsed. It was not until this time that he recovered!

His hair turned all white overnight, but he seemed to be in good condition now. His brows stood up majestically. He knew that as the lord of a city, he couldn't really let himself fall.

Looking at the zombie corpses piling up higher and higher under the city, Dong Junwei said to the deputy general beside him: "We can't defend it for long if this continues! We must find a way to attract the zombies to other places! Otherwise, when the height of the zombie corpses exceeds the height of the city wall, We can only be devoured!”

The deputy general sighed and said:

"These zombies are under Noshak's command! And they are attacking the city one after another. We can't attract them away at all!

The mutants in the western Tibet base had tried to assassinate Noshak before, but now he had taken precautions. Ordinary zombies lift up the d1 jumping zombie, and above the d1 jumping zombie is Noshak's wooden bed. There are d2 and d3 jumping zombies around to protect him! It is already impossible to attack him from underground.

The captain named Gong Xue said that she actually had a power that she hadn't used yet, but this power was very special. If she wanted to use it, she had to let her blood come into contact with Noshak's head! Hey, I don’t know what kind of weird ability it is! However, under Noshak's strict deployment, not to mention his head, even his toes could not be touched. "

Dong Junwei's face turned pale after hearing this. He sighed, and then said: "Now, can we escape from the city?"

The deputy general smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"There are many zombies around the Sacred Tree City, but they have stayed away from here because of the existence of the Sacred Tree, and they have gathered dozens of kilometers away. As for the hundreds of thousands of zombies that were led away by our dead soldiers, at this time They are still wandering around not far from us, and the Holy Tree City is still surrounded by them!

We have studied the route before. If the mutants want to take a small number of people, that is no problem. But it is probably impossible to take tens of thousands of people out of the city and to a safe area. Isn't this also the conclusion we reached in the pre-war meeting? "

Dong Junwei's expression didn't seem to change much, but his body was trembling slightly.

"Let's go up and have a look!"

After saying this, Dong Junwei, accompanied by the deputy general's protection, climbed to the second floor of the Sword Hand Fortress.

At this time, most of the soldiers defending the city had been replaced. Even Qin Xiaoyan, Gong Xue Liuru and others went down to rest. They were too tired to continue fighting.

During the day, the zombies' offensive seemed to have slowed down a bit, and Noshak also needed to rest. Although the zombies will continue to attack the city while he is resting, they are far less crazy than when he is awake at night.

Qin An did not stay on the city wall anymore, he was also very tired! He killed seven to eight hundred zombies in one night, and most of them were D1 jumping zombies. He had traveled back and forth to the six-kilometer-long city wall countless times. You can imagine how much exercise he required.

Walking with Qin Xiaoyan, they finally descended the city wall and arrived at several yurts that had just been built not far from the city wall.

These yurts were specially built for mutants from western Tibet. Although they cannot be taken care of in terms of food, the living conditions are still better than ordinary people.

Gong Xue, Liu Ru and others all live here.

Qin An said to Qin Xiaoyan in his heart: "When Gong Xuesue wakes up, she must find a way to get my soul back to its original body!"
