Chapter 0996 Weng Lan’s Story—A Fierce Battle

Provo, Utah, USA, is about 60 kilometers away from Salt Lake.

Before the end of the world, Provo was known as the cleanest city in America.

Now, after being abandoned for many years, it has become a battlefield, becoming dirty and smelly.

The army led by Rosen arrived in Provo three days ago and began to build fortifications, intending to eliminate the zombie hordes coming from the north.

In fact, Liu Tian did not tell the truth to Weng Lan. The fighting on the front line was ten times more intense than what she told.

Three nights ago, the battle began. The Rosen Army's long-range artillery attack force launched a two-hour bombardment against the zombie swarm fifteen kilometers away.

Although many zombies died, this did not stop them from moving forward.

Tang Jiudie is now a level 6 awakener, and there is a level 6 jumping zombie in her body. Without interference, she can control millions of zombies.

Tang Jiudie originally played a key role in protecting the entire army along the way. Some small zombie groups were directly absorbed by her. Therefore, although she has not yet controlled millions of zombies, she has Hundreds of thousands.

So in the battle here, Tang Jiudie was the first to go out. The zombie army controlling her had a dog-eat-dog battle with the oncoming zombie army.

However, the battle only lasted for ten minutes before it stopped.

Several zombies about three and a half meters tall, muscular and with black iron-hard skin appeared.

The most eye-catching thing is that there are seven-color crystal marks on their chests, which means that they are level 7 mutant zombies. Judging from their appearance, they should undoubtedly be level 7 mutants of jumping zombies.

Tang Jiudi is actually very knowledgeable about zombies, but she has never seen a level 7 zombie. What is even more terrifying is that this is not one but several.

As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Since there are so many 7s appearing at the same time, it means that in this seemingly inconspicuous group of hundreds of thousands of zombies, this higher-level jumping zombie should be hidden, that is 8

In short, Tang Jiudie's ability to control zombies failed, and the zombies that were originally controlled by her turned around and attacked the Provo temporary fortress.

Rosen's face turned blue after Tang Jiudi came back to report the situation.

These hundreds of thousands of outside zombies plus the hundreds of thousands of zombies originally controlled by Tang Jiudie, wouldn't it mean that there are one million zombies on the opposite side?

Fortunately, he pulled all the troops together and built a fortress. Otherwise, it would only take a day or two for these zombies to catch up with the large army. You must know that zombies can run much faster than the migrating team.

How to do it

After thinking for a few minutes, Rosen thought that his side was well-equipped, so let's fight one million zombies. He had 40,000 people, and each of them would be able to kill more than 20 zombies. They killed them all.

So on the first night, Rosen led 40,000 soldiers to leave the Provo defense fortress and ran for five miles to engage in a blocking battle with the corpses face to face but retreating while fighting. The scene at that time was really spectacular. The 40,000 troops stretched a span of five or six kilometers.

Originally, the zombies had a wider span when moving, but in the end they were all attracted by the firepower.

It was not until noon the next day that the troops returned to the Provo Fortress. The soldiers suffered basically no damage, but they killed almost 150,000 zombies along the way, winning the first battle.

The soldiers were happy and excited, but Rosen was worried.

In just one night, 60% of the ammunition on my side has been lost. In other words, if the fight continues like this, even if all the ammunition is used up, even if 150,000 zombies are eliminated, there will still be more than 700,000 zombies. .

And this is an inaccurate number. The air reconnaissance force sent out reported that this zombie flow was continuous, with an overall length of almost more than 80 kilometers.

In other words, the zombies will not become less and less, but more and more.

After careful consideration, Rosen decided that he still could not retreat.

Your troops are already at the forefront of the migrating army, so the zombies are coming from the south.

If he walked towards the Seven Swords City in the west, the following troops and civilians would inevitably be hit by the zombie flow.

If you lead a team north to avoid this group of zombies, you will probably encounter a group of zombies heading south in a few days.

Then we can only fight, attract this group of zombies, and wait for the follow-up troops to come over and add more troops to annihilate the zombies in one fell swoop.

So at noon on the second day of the battle, the unyielding Provo Fortress was surrounded. Because there was no city wall, the zombies broke through the defense line at night and entered the city of Provo.

Rosen divided the troops and asked everyone to use abandoned high-rise buildings as strongholds. Each organized their own forces to continue using firepower to consume the zombies and wait for rescue.

Late at night the next day, the second giant forest force of 40,000 soldiers from the east arrived.

They launched artillery fire on the zombie group five kilometers east of Provo. Some zombies were attracted and moved there, and the crisis situation in Provo was alleviated.

However, the intensity of the battle has not diminished at all. The soldiers at each stronghold are still killing zombies desperately. Everyone is helpless because it is impossible not to kill. There are such hateful undead creatures everywhere around them.

On the third day, the battle entered an even more tragic situation. The follow-up troops of zombies arrived, and the third army of Giant Forest City, with 20,000 people, also arrived.

Starting from the city of Provo and extending for a full thirteen kilometers to the east, a larger battle between humans and zombies broke out.

At the same time, the first group of civilians of the migrating force had already marched westward along the Great Salt Lake and entered a running mode. They could not run without running. Everyone was afraid that the zombies would break through the defense line and rush into the crowd.

So in fact, as early as the second night of the battle, the 20,000 people on Weng Lan's side got the news of their departure.

The reason why they didn't leave immediately and delayed until this afternoon was because they were waiting for the grain truck from behind.

How can we go on the road without food? The food we carried before has been eaten up. If we keep moving forward, if we run away and get separated from the follow-up troops, the supply cannot keep up. Having no food is a very scary thing for 20,000 people. There seem to be several American troops ahead. The city of gangsters will be even worse if they are captured by them. You must know that there are many cannibals in American gangs. So they waited for supplies and large troops from the rear to come up before conveying the retreat order from Rosen.

Liu Tian also did not tell Weng Lan immediately after getting the news because her husband Jace, Qin Qicai and others were still on the front line and had not withdrawn.
