Chapter 215 To Save or Not to Save
[HP: 30000/30000]
[Mana amount: 0/0]
[Level: Level 3·Normal]
Although crazy zombies are also at the ordinary level, their strength is much stronger than ordinary zombies!
They are equivalent to elite zombies without special powers, and are even physically stronger than some elite zombies. Those third-level ordinary zombies and the weakened third-level elite zombies are not as powerful as these third-level crazy zombies!
And the most important thing is that crazy zombies basically don’t act alone, they form a large group when they arrive!
For example, right now, there are at least a hundred third-level crazy zombies here!
"Is there a lair of crazy zombies here or nearby?"
Wang Tao didn't have time to think too much, so he used the walkie-talkie to contact Lan Yulian.
"I'll make some noise outside later, and you can take the opportunity to escape!"
"Ah? You're already here? Okay! You have to be careful!"
Lan Yulian was a little surprised and excited. She didn't expect Wang Tao to really come!
Wang Tao quietly moved away from Area C, and then threw several self-exploding bombs at some places.
boom!
A huge explosion sounded instantly.
"Ho ho..."
"Roar--"
Crazy zombies are extremely sensitive to sound. Most of the crazy zombies immediately changed their targets and headed towards the place where the explosion occurred.
But those crazy zombies who have already targeted Lan Yulian and others are still attacking.
But with so many crazy zombies gone, the pressure on Lan Yulian's side was suddenly reduced a lot.
"Xiaoxue, you stop here, I'll go first."
"good!"
Wang Tao took the opportunity to rush over, leaving Jiang Shixue here to block other zombies.
A crazy zombie discovered Wang Tao and rushed over immediately.
Wang Tao hacked it to death with several knives, and it exploded into three packages, but after seeing the contents inside, Wang Tao cursed secretly.
"Oh, it's so hot!"
The three packages of the crazy zombies are all filled with ordinary making materials.
Wang Tao immediately lost interest in killing them.
Although Wang Tao got 1500 special energy, there were too many crazy zombies, and he was not sure if there were any crazy zombies outside. There was a high probability that there was a crazy zombie nest nearby, so he couldn't fight.
Wang Tao's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the people on the other side of the fortification.
"Wang Tao!"
Lu Yingfeng, who was rushing out with a Tang sword, was the first to see Wang Tao and exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Tao split open a few more zombies and successfully reunited with Lu Yingfeng.
Others came out of the fortifications very excitedly. Lan Yulian had just told them that Wang Tao was here to save them.
Wang Tao glanced at Lan Yulian, Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan. They were all injured to varying degrees, but their lives were not in danger.
"Come with me!"
Now was not the time to talk. Wang Tao immediately shouted to everyone and retreated towards the way he had just come.
Everyone quickly followed.
"Where's Xiaoxue!"
At this time, Lan Yulian suddenly spoke.
When she saw that Jiang Shixue was not around Wang Tao, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Fortunately, Wang Tao replied:
"She's fine, outside."
"……That's good!"
As everyone fought their way out, they saw a figure wearing a red JK uniform, standing there handsomely. In the shadow behind her, there were zombies lying on the ground.
"Xiaoxue, let's go!"
Wang Tao shouted.
Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng saw Jiang Shixue and felt that the scene was incompatible with her. But they were all running for their lives, so they didn't ask any questions.
As soon as they rushed out of Area C, everyone discovered that there were a large number of crazy zombies outside! Although only a small part are of the third level, they are like a tide, numbering in the tens of thousands!
After Wang Tao looked at the direction, he immediately said to everyone in Lan Yulian:
"You guys retreat first, I'll lure these crazy zombies away."
"Brother Wang!"
"you……"
Everyone looked at Wang Tao in disbelief.
If you want to lure so many zombies away, it is not a matter of risking your life, but a matter of high probability of death!
Except in the early days of the end of the world, they had seen such self-sacrificial heroes, and they had never seen them again since then!
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"
Wang Tao glared at several people angrily.
It's not that he has to be a hero, but if he doesn't stand up, no one can escape - they are almost surrounded by thousands of crazy zombies.
Someone has to lure the zombies away, otherwise you won't be able to drive.
The only person who can lure away so many zombies is Wang Tao. To be precise, only self-exploding bombs. After all, the explosion of this thing is too loud and can easily attract zombies. But there is no way for others to get the self-exploding bombs. With this kind of movement, it is estimated that they will explode in their hands. So we can only let Wang Tao come.
For safety reasons, Wang Tao took Jiang Shixue with him. Jiang Shixue and he were both very fast, so there should be no problem.
"good!"
At the critical moment, Lan Yulian was decisive.
She immediately asked everyone to leave in the other direction.
"Wang Tao, we are waiting for you at the parking spot! Be careful!"
"Um."
Wang Tao nodded, and then he and Jiang Shixue ran in the opposite direction to Lan Yulian and the others.
He threw self-explosion bombs as he ran.
boom! boom! boom!
After running at full speed for more than 20 minutes, Wang Tao finally got rid of the crazy zombie behind him.
"Fuck! How can he run away!"
Wang Tao cursed inwardly, and he felt his lungs burning. Jiang Shixue looked calm, worthy of being a zombie.
What Wang Tao was most worried about was encountering other zombies on the road. If there were powerful third-level zombies blocking the road, it would be very troublesome... Fortunately, the action of attracting zombies this time went smoothly and did not encounter any obstacles.
After taking a breath, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue made a big circle and ran towards the entrance of the sports center. The cars of the fourth brigade were all parked here.
It was already evening, and when Wang Tao came to the entrance of the sports center, he frowned.
The car was still here, but there was no one.
A closer look, wow, the tires were all cut? The fuel tank was leaking!
"Man-made?"
Looking at the neat cut on the tire, Wang Tao frowned.
At this time, Wang Tao's walkie-talkie rang.
"Zizizi... Brother Wang, look back!"
Wang Tao turned his head and saw someone waving a red flag on a building more than ten stories high not far away. That person was Nie Siyan.
Wang Tao ignored the car and ran towards the building immediately.
The main door under the building had been broken, but the door of the stairs inside was tightly closed. After Wang Tao came over, Nie Siyan immediately opened the door from the inside.
"Brother Wang, are you okay?"
Nie Siyan was worried.
"I'm fine."
Wang Tao held Jiang Shixue's hand and said to Nie Siyan while walking up:
"What happened?"
"When we came here, we found that the tires of the car were all slashed and we couldn't go. There were still many zombies around. We killed zombies all the way and rushed here. Lan Yulian suggested that we come up..."
Nie Siyan hurriedly explained.
"Who did it?"
Wang Tao was a little confused.
"Lan Yulian said it was someone from the prison and the alliance!"
Hearing this, Wang Tao frowned.
The three of them went upstairs. Lan Yulian was helping someone with injuries, while Lu Yingfeng and Xu Xiaojun were on guard. When they saw Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue coming, they all ran over.
"Wang Tao, Xiaoxue, are you okay?"
Lu Yingfeng hugged Jiang Shixue directly and checked if she had any missing limbs. Lan Yulian threw several green lights on Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue's heads.
The feeling of being treated was warm.
Seeing that Lan Yulian was going to continue, Wang Tao waved his hand.
"I'm fine. Don't work in vain!"
Although the warm feeling was very comfortable, the green light made Wang Tao a little unhappy.
Lan Yulian stopped immediately.
She looked at Wang Tao with gratitude on her face.
"Wang Tao, thank you! If it weren't for you, we might all die..."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang Tao, for saving our lives!"
Others also bowed to Wang Tao in a low voice.
"I'm glad everyone is okay."
Wang Tao waved his hand, and then gathered with Lan Yulian and the others to ask about the current situation.
Their fourth team originally had more than 60 people, but now there are only more than 30. The number of people has been reduced by half, which is a heavy loss.
However, they have gained a lot. If this group of people can go back alive, it is possible that some third-level superpowers will appear.
As for the tires, Lan Yulian explained with a somewhat angry face:
"It should be the prison and the alliance! I contacted the Bauhinia base team before, and they also suffered heavy losses. We agreed on a gathering place. But they told me that their car was damaged... Then I found that our car was also damaged! I contacted the prison and the alliance again, but I still couldn't contact them..."
As for who has the motive to do this, except for their own people, everyone else has the motive. After all, there has always been an undercurrent between their four major forces.
But at that time, Lan Yulian and the team of the Bauhinia base attacked Area A together, and saw with their own eyes that the Bauhinia base also suffered heavy losses. If they really wanted to cheat people, there would be no need to resort to this self-torture trick.
On the contrary, the prison and the alliance said that they were going to attack Area B and suffered heavy losses, but all this was said on the intercom, and no one saw it with their own eyes.
Now my car has been destroyed, and only the two of them can't be contacted. They can't be wiped out, so there is obviously a problem!
"Zizi..."
At this time, Lan Yulian's intercom just rang.
She answered it, and the leader of the Bauhinia Base, "General", was on the other side.
"One good news, one bad news. The bad news is that the prison and the alliance did not attack the zombies at all. Their goal was to seize my base, so they went back directly."
This made everyone's face sank.
"What's the good news?"
Lan Yulian asked with a grim face.
She still has some men in the Bauhinia Base. If the Bauhinia Base falls, her men will be in trouble.
"The good news is that they didn't go, and I stopped them."
The general's tone was very calm.
"Ah? Where are you!"
Lan Yulian looked a little surprised.
"Oh, there is even worse news. The remaining people from our four teams are all trapped in the diving training hall. There are a lot of crazy zombies and third-level zombies outside."
"..."
The diving hall is at the edge of the sports center, a little far from here. And because of the angle, it is just out of sight.
Lan Yulian immediately moved to another room and took out a telescope.
In her field of vision, she saw several people holding telescopes on the roof of the diving hall, and a dark mass of heads outside the diving hall!
"I seem to have seen you..."
Lan Yulian said.
"..."
The other person was silent for a moment, and then asked:
"Can it be saved?"
Lan Yulian shook her head subconsciously.
"No, you have too many zombies outside! It must be tens of thousands at least, and they are still second- and third-level zombies. There are only thirty of us now..."
"...Okay, then can you go back to the Redbud base to bring in reinforcements? I still have a fully armed army."
The general's tone was still very calm, without any hint of fear.
"Okay, we'll go back early tomorrow morning. It's getting dark now, and we have to walk back at night. It's too dangerous... I hope you can hold on all night!"
It's a bit far from the Bauhinia base, so you have to walk during the day. Otherwise, it will be cold if you encounter a large number of night demons at night.
"good."
The other party did not urge me, and his tone was always so calm. Lan Yulian knew that this was his style.
"By the way, what's the situation between you and the prison and the alliance now?"
Lan Yulian asked again.
"Cooperate for the time being."
"Okay. Then..."
Lan Yulian asked again about the specific situation, and the general told him everything he could.
Wang Tao listened and roughly understood the whole story.
To put it simply, the prison and the alliance had colluded long ago and said they were coming to kill zombies, but they were just pretending and didn't fight at all.
Without these two strong teams, the difficulty for other teams will definitely increase. They want to take this opportunity to return to the Bauhinia Base and win the Bauhinia Base.
After all, the Bauhinia Base is the best base in the city, and many people are jealous of it. They are no exception.
As for the third-level promotion, they had actually secretly obtained some third-level promotion crystal cores. It's just that they are all white and have never been successfully integrated. Therefore, they feel that even if the Bauhinia Base obtains the crystal core, it will not be easy to succeed.
If they can occupy the Bauhinia base, relying on the terrifying defense of the high wall, even third-level superpowers will not be able to attack it. They relied on some third-level promotion crystal cores in their hands and took their time.
Then, if nothing else, the unexpected happened.
Their original plan was to let people from the Redbud base and club break in. When they were dragged down by so many zombies inside, they would return to the base.
But who knew that the zombies inside were too strong, and the Bauhinia Base lost a lot of manpower as soon as they arrived. So the general immediately and decisively ordered a temporary retreat and prepared for a long-term plan.
His retreat caught the prison and the alliance by surprise - they had just finished their destruction and hadn't gone far yet...
Moreover, he also harmed Lan Yulian and others.
Because at that time Lan Yulian and the others were working together to kill a very powerful third-level zombie, and they couldn't leave at all.
After finally killing this zombie, they were the only ones left, and everyone on the general's side had withdrawn!
So this is the situation where Lan Yulian and others are trapped.
As for the general, after they went out, they found that their car had just been destroyed, and then they saw traces of the prison and the alliance.
So I quickly chased after him.
At this time, the zombies in the gym also chased him out. Some speed-type zombies run fast. After all, there are so many of them that they have no way to escape and can only fight.
As a result, this battle attracted zombies from other places!
Especially when a large number of crazy zombies come over, not to mention them, not even the people in the prison and the alliance can escape.
At this time, there is no point in fighting internally. The two sides can only choose to cooperate. They fought and retreated to the diving hall.
The current situation is that they are surrounded by countless zombies. Although they cannot die for the time being, it may not be possible in the future. No one knows whether there are some highly destructive zombies among these zombies, and the supplies they carry are also limited...
After Lan Yulian ended the communication, she looked at Wang Tao.
"Wang Tao, do you think we need to move reinforcements?"
To be honest, neither the Redbud base nor the prison and alliance are good birds.
Not to mention the prison and the alliance. As for the Bauhinia Base, they retreated too decisively and did not wait for Lan Yulian at all. If they had waited or helped, Lan Yulian and his party would not have been trapped and almost annihilated.
At that time, Lan Yulian also wanted to borrow the manpower of the fifth brigade. The fifth brigade was full of people with powers that could weaken mucus. The result was rejected by the general. He said that the strength of the fifth brigade should be preserved, which was their trump card for killing level three zombies.
Lan Yulian was sure that at that time, the general had some thoughts about using the zombies to get rid of his group of people - he might not have had it before, but he would not let it go when the opportunity came.
Of course, Lan Yulian is not a pure little white flower. The meaning of what she is asking Wang Tao now is very obvious - if they leave directly without moving reinforcements, the general and others will most likely be trapped to death! And the Bauhinia Base—maybe it belongs to her!
Lan Yulian really never thought of cheating them at this time, but when the opportunity comes... it's hard to say!
As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Now there are four tigers in Zijing City, which is obviously no room for them!
So this can't be blamed on Lan Yulian's dark heart. If she doesn't take action, others will do it. It's just a matter of who takes action first.
But Lan Yulian is still a little hesitant...
If these people all died, the strength of the survivors in the entire Bauhinia City would be reduced by at least half, which would be a loss for the human camp in the entire Bauhinia City.
And Lan Yulian still has some conscience after all. She felt a little uncomfortable letting so many people die here.
She wanted to give up on them and save them at the same time. She was very conflicted.
Wang Tao could naturally see her thoughts. So he smiled and said:
"It's not that simple. Let them take out benefits, such as giving up the Bauhinia base... then you save them. If they don't take anything, let them wait for death. I believe they know how to choose."
Lan Yulian was somewhat helpless after hearing this:
"That's right. They are likely to give up benefits. But, this is just a verbal agreement. If they don't abide by the agreement after being rescued, I don't have any means of punishment..."
"This is even simpler. Just be stronger than them. For example... upgrade to the third level."
As Wang Tao said this, an orange third-level crystal core appeared in his hand, and there was a "+" phantom in the crystal core.
Orange third-level promotion crystal core!
