Chapter 269: The Base Is Destroyed (Ask for Guaranteed Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)
"Wang Tao, how reliable do you think this news is?"
He Jijun looked at Wang Tao.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to just believe what those people said. Having survived in the apocalypse for so long, he has long known the dangers of the human heart.
You can do good things, but you have to protect yourself first.
"The credibility should not be low... because I have encountered a large number of zombies before, and those zombies are like locusts passing through the border..."
Wang Tao immediately called everyone else over and talked about the matter.
He Jijun had never seen a large-scale corpse tide before. If he had seen it, he would most likely not be alive now.
Nie Siyan has not been seen either, she has been in Zijing City.
Yang Changhong, Jiang Shixue and Xu Xiaojun have all seen it, and they naturally saw it when they were with Wang Tao.
Speaking of the corpse tide, Yang Changhong still had some lingering fears. If it hadn't been for Wang Tao at that time, she and her team might have been buried in that corpse tide.
"I also think this should be true, because the direction of the corpse tide at that time seemed to be in the direction of Zijing City. I thought at the time that the corpse tide should be caused by airplanes or other things, and it should be there soon. Disperse... If they don't disperse, but get bigger and bigger, then they may really go to the survivor base you mentioned, or even... the Redbud base!"
After Yang Changhong finished speaking, he looked at Wang Tao.
She knew that Wang Tao and Lan Yulian had become good friends. She herself also has a good relationship with Lan Yulian. And now, Lan Yulian is likely to be in danger...
Everyone also looked at Wang Tao.
Wang Tao's face was serious, he thought for a while and said:
"Old He, please contact that base again and ask what the strength of the zombies surrounding them is. If they can't tell the difference, then ask them to describe the specific appearance and destructive power of those zombies... We must do it. Know the strength of these zombies!"
Everyone knows why Wang Tao emphasizes the strength of zombies.
Before they have seen level 4 zombies, they may think that level 4 zombies are stronger than level 3 zombies. But after seeing the strength of the fourth-level zombies, they realized that the fourth-level zombies were much stronger!
If they go to rescue, if they encounter a fourth-level zombie, especially a giant zombie, let alone rescue, whether they can save their lives is a question.
"good!"
He Jijun went back to contact that base.
Wang Tao looked at the others.
"If they are really in danger and we have the ability to rescue them, I don't mind helping. What do you think?"
"Of course, it's all up to you."
Several people nodded.
Wang Tao is the center of their small team, and they all trust Wang Tao unconditionally. They will do whatever Wang Tao says!
"Then everyone, get ready, maybe we will actually go out..."
Rescue does not necessarily mean going down to fight personally. Appropriate rescue methods can be selected based on the crisis situation.
For example, airdropping supplies to them so that they can maintain basic living security; attracting the attention of zombies and creating conditions for them to escape; guiding them to a dangerous but viable escape route, etc. These are all rescues.
After all, Wang Tao and the others had too few people. It would be too difficult for them to face the zombie tide. Even if there are no fourth-level zombies in the zombie wave, they can't defeat so many zombies.
After all, humans have their limits. Even if thousands of zombies stand still and let them kill, this is a huge waste of energy and physical strength. They may be able to kill a lot of zombies, but when their physical energy is exhausted and there is not much mana left, they will definitely be swallowed up by the zombie tide!
Of course, if there were no level four zombies, Wang Tao and the others would be much more maneuverable. But if there are fourth-level zombies, such as giant zombies that can masturbate, then they will have to take great risks if they go to rescue...
He Jijun also had some experience in questioning. He did not directly ask the people in that base how strong the zombies were.
It's possible that those people deliberately made the zombies weaker in order to attract them.
Fortunately, He Jijun had seen the fourth-level zombies and had some understanding of the fourth-level zombies... With his insinuations, he quickly deduced some general information.
"There should be no fourth-level zombies... Their base is not big, with only more than a thousand people, and their overall strength is not very strong. If there are really fourth-level zombies, they probably won't be able to hold on for such a long time..."
He Jijun explained. If there are level four zombies, there is a high probability that their base will not be able to send out a distress message.
"If there are no fourth-level zombies, it will be easy to operate! Lao He, please continue to contact them first and understand the situation there in real time. I think we can start from the air..."
Although there are not many supplies in the military base, Wang Tao and the others do not have many people, so it is impossible to consume all the supplies. Especially there is still a lot of food left.
Perhaps we can fly a transport plane over and airdrop some supplies to them to alleviate their immediate needs. After all, they are already trapped and running out of ammunition and food.
Then you can also see if they are really trapped or if they are deliberately fishing.
And the most important thing is that you can fly to Bauhinia City on a transport plane. Wang Tao wanted to know what was going on at the Bauhinia Base. Wang Tao even wanted to fly to the Red Stone Base to have a look...
"good!"
He Jijun continued to contact the survivor base.
He had not revealed that he was in a military base before, nor did he say that he had a plane. After all, one must be on guard against others. So if the other party really played any tricks, he could see it clearly by flying over!
Wang Tao glanced at his attribute panel. It would take five days for his little flame to merge completely, which means that he still had at least five days to awaken and upgrade to the fourth level. It would be better if this request for help appeared five days later...
That night.
He Jijun had basically mastered the information of the base, and Wang Tao and his friends also packed a lot of survival supplies and transported them to the transport plane.
But it was too late now. The night of the end of the world was full of dangers, and even flying a plane might not be safe. So we should go tomorrow morning.
He Jijun had already told the survivor base that he would rescue them tomorrow and let them hold on for another night, but he did not say how to rescue them.
The survivor base was naturally very excited. They said that they would wait obediently in the base. If they needed to cooperate, they would do whatever He Jijun said. Even if they sent some people as bait, it would be fine!
They said that their base had already voluntarily selected the death squad. But they had never seen hope, and they couldn't die in vain, so these people were still alive, but they were always ready to fight for the opportunity for others to escape!
Wang Tao didn't know whether this was true or not. If it was true, then these people deserved admiration.
The next morning.
The rain was lighter today, there was no thunder or wind, and it was possible to fly. Wang Tao and his team were ready to go.
Before boarding the plane, He Jijun was ready to contact the base again.
After all, they were connected by wire, and the other party didn't have a high-power radio, so it might not be easy to contact after boarding the plane.
But this time, He Jijun failed to contact.
"I can't contact..."
He Jijun frowned.
Wang Tao and his friends suddenly felt a jolt in their hearts.
In the end times, losing contact basically means death.
We had been communicating well yesterday, but we couldn't contact each other after sleeping?
"Could it be a liar?"
Nie Siyan spoke weakly.
She had done this kind of thing before, so she subconsciously thought of a liar.
But Wang Tao and He Jijun shook their heads at the same time.
If it was a liar, he would have seduced them before they came, and would have turned hostile after they came.
But Wang Tao and his friends hadn't set out yet. If they were really liars, Wang Tao would definitely not go if they cut off contact at this time. That liar was too stupid.
"Old He, try again. Let's wait."
The airdrop plan was temporarily cancelled. Wang Tao had to know the specific situation over there.
An hour later, He Jijun finally contacted the survivor base again. Everyone quickly surrounded them.
"Zizizi... The base is broken... In the tide of corpses... Huge zombies tens of meters high... Thank you for your willingness to provide us with assistance, but don't come... I hope you can survive... Boom boom boom... Zizizi..."
There was a hoarse, desperate voice in the microphone, and the microphone returned to silence with the sound of an explosion.
Wang Tao and his friends fell into a brief silence.
"This base... has fallen..."
"It's the giant zombies! The giant zombies broke through their base..."
"More than a thousand people are gone just like that..."
"..."
Everyone felt depressed and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
Finally, we contacted a survivor base, and they really needed help. We were just about to find a way to save them, but their base fell first...
"Everyone! Don't be sad, don't be upset. This is the end of the world, we should get used to it."
He Jijun spoke loudly.
Before setting off, everyone was full of fighting spirit. But now, hearing the news of the destruction of this survivor base, everyone's morale was gone in an instant.
Although they were not the ones injured, and they didn't even see it with their own eyes. But these few short sentences can make you feel the despair of being unable to resist.
"Hu——"
Wang Tao took a deep breath.
He rubbed his stiff face, then looked at everyone and said:
"It is now certain that there are fourth-level zombies in the corpse tide. They are giant zombies with extremely strong destructive power! The high walls of those bases can't stop them at all... It is estimated that most of the survivors' bases will fall in this situation! So... let's go to the Bauhinia base! See if there are corpse tides or fourth-level zombies there, and what the specific situation is!"
"Okay!"
Everyone nodded.
Wang Tao led everyone to the hangar.
Looking at the military transport plane that He Jijun had simply maintained again, Wang Tao suddenly felt a little emotional.
Before, he had always been the one to receive airdrops from this plane, and he never thought that one day he would be able to airdrop others on the plane...
This time, everyone, including Lightning, came.
After all, their number is too small, so it is better to act together. If they are unlucky and are defeated one by one, it will be a disaster.
The supplies have been prepared, the fuel has been filled, and they can take off as soon as they are pulled out.
And He Jijun also modified two heavy machine guns on this transport plane.
However, transport planes are different from helicopters. Modification is difficult, they don’t have enough manpower, and He Jijun is not a professional modifier... So the two heavy machine guns are placed at the tail of the plane, and they can only be fired when the tail cargo door is opened. Compared with a helicopter, this is much more troublesome.
Xu Xiaojun drove the plane out of the hangar.
Wang Tao locked all the doors in the base and got on the plane.
For safety reasons, He Jijun prepared parachutes for everyone. After all, he has only flown old models of airplanes, and this is the first time he has flown a new model of airplane. Moreover, if there is any hidden problem with the airplane, he won't be able to tell.
Wang Tao was not nervous at first, but He Jijun made him a little nervous. He said to everyone:
"If there is any danger, run to me."
Wang Tao is the strongest and can protect him if there is danger.
"good!"
Everyone nodded.
He Jijun was sitting as the main pilot of the plane, and Wang Tao was sitting as the co-pilot. Everyone else was sitting behind Wang Tao.
Buzz——
Ignition, start.
The jet transport plane took off much slower than the helicopter. When the noise attracted some zombies from a distance, the plane finally took off.
Wang Tao was highly nervous, fearing that something might happen to the plane.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly until flying into the sky, and Wang Tao finally felt relieved.
The transport plane did not fly too high because Wang Tao wanted to observe the situation on the ground.
The situation in the urban area of Wuyang City has not changed for the time being, and no corpses have been seen. But the number of zombies in the urban area is large enough, and it can easily cause a zombie wave...
After the plane quickly left Wuyang City, Wang Tao saw many zombies on the ground. The plane passed over the zombies' heads, causing countless zombies to roar and even chase them.
"Oh my god, it's such a wave of corpses!"
Nie Siyan covered her mouth.
The zombies on the ground were like a black tide, making people's scalp numb just by looking at them.
These zombies were of different shapes, big and small, and strong and weak, but no giant zombies were seen, and no other fourth-level lord zombies were seen. This gave him a temporary sigh of relief.
As long as there aren't too many level four zombies, especially giant zombies, their safety should still be guaranteed.
After a while, the plane arrived near Duzhu Town.
Wang Tao took a look and saw that there were many more zombies here. The base in Duzhu Town showed a dilapidated scene, and there were many zombies inside.
I don’t know if the base fell or if they moved out early. Wang Tao hopes it is the latter.
"Entering Bauhinia City..."
The speed of the plane was very fast, and it didn't take long for it to enter Bauhinia City.
As soon as he entered Zijing City, Wang Tao clearly felt that there were more zombies here, much more than before he left.
Especially when the plane arrived in downtown Zijing City, Wang Tao's face didn't look very good when he looked at the sea of people below.
Fortunately, he saw that the Bauhinia base had not fallen. But there are many zombies outside the base.
Wang Tao immediately turned on the radio and started contacting the Bauhinia Base.
…
In the Bauhinia base, Lan Yulian's face was filled with sadness.
Recently, there have been a lot more zombies in Bauhinia City. At first she thought it was a mother body that could cultivate zombies. After all, she had encountered it before. She was still thinking of organizing people to hunt.
But who would have thought that there were more and more zombies, and she realized that this was actually a large-scale zombie tide! The zombies before were just the vanguard!
Of course, even if she had discovered the corpse tide earlier, she would not be able to change anything, because the base is here and there are more than 10,000 people here. They couldn't leave and had nowhere to go.
Faced with this tide of corpses, the only way Lan Yulian could think of was to hold on.
If it were just an ordinary zombie wave, they would definitely have no problem holding on to the base.
But this zombie tide was not ordinary. There were many third-level lord zombies alone. She and Lu Yingfeng went out to kill a few.
Didn't it mean that lord zombies generally don't work in groups? Why are there so many lord zombies here?
Except for the third-level lord zombies, the rest are a lot of third-level elite zombies, second-level lord zombies, second-level elites and so on.
These zombies are now gathered outside the base.
Considering the size of the Bauhinia base, they can be self-sufficient and can live well even if they don't go out to search for supplies. After all, there are fish and pigs raised in the base, and vegetables are grown.
But it's not an option to have so many zombies surrounding you all the time. Problems will occur sooner or later as time goes by.
Lan Yulian saw a third-level lord zombie with long-range attack capabilities yesterday! The guards on their high walls didn't dare to show their heads.
And Lan Yulian has always had a bad feeling. There are so many third-level lord zombies now, so it would not be unusual if a fourth-level zombie appears.
If there are really level 4 zombies, can their base still be able to stop them?
Lan Yulian felt that the upper limit of their base should only be able to block the third-level lord zombies. Because based on Nie Siyan's previous jumping ability, if it is a fourth-level zombie, it may be able to jump over the outer wall of the base in a few clicks...
"What would he do if he were here..."
Lan Yulian was a little distracted.
At this time, Lu Yingfeng suddenly opened the door and came in.
Normally, Lu Yingfeng would knock on the door when he came in. If there was no knock on the door, it meant there was an emergency.
"What's wrong, Xiaofeng?"
Lan Yulian asked quickly.
"Yulian, we just discovered on the high tower that a large number of large third-level elite zombies appeared in the distance, and they seemed to be powerful zombies. They are coming towards our base!"
Lu Yingfeng said with a serious face.
"A large number of powerful third-level elite zombies..."
Lan Yulian's face turned pale.
Their base is an unfinished base with many weak points. If a strong zombie discovers it, they might be able to knock down the wall directly!
"Let me go out and deal with those zombies..."
Lu Yingfeng suddenly spoke.
"no!"
Lan Yulian stopped him immediately.
She didn't doubt that Lu Yingfeng could deal with those zombies, but whether he could come back after leaving was a question.
"Those zombies are like siege soldiers. If I don't go out and deal with them, the base may not be able to defend..."
Lu Yingfeng sighed.
She didn't want to die, but sometimes, there was no choice.
"..."
Lan Yulian fell into silence.
She didn't want Lu Yingfeng to go out, but there was indeed a way for Lu Yingfeng to go out.
"Let's do this, I'll go out with you! I'm here to ensure your safety!"
Lan Yulian said.
"No! Absolutely not!"
This time it was Lu Yingfeng's turn to refuse. And very tough.
She went there with the awareness that she might sacrifice herself, and she was not willing to let Lan Yulian follow.
If she dies, it won't have much impact on the base. But if Lan Yulian dies, the base will be paralyzed. And she had already said that she would protect Lan Yulian!
"I am the leader, listen to me!"
"That's not okay! I won't allow it anyway!"
"you--"
Buzz——
Just as they were staring at each other, a buzzing sound suddenly came from outside.
Both women were familiar with this voice.
airplane! Are there any airdrops at this time?
"wrong!"
The two women looked at each other and could see the excitement in each other's eyes.
Lu Yingfeng quickly brought the military walkie-talkie that Wang Tao had left for them. When the two women went out, they immediately saw the transport plane flying over.
"Zizzi...zizi...I'm Wang Tao. I'm on the plane. Can anyone receive it?"
Hearing this voice, the two women almost jumped with excitement.
"Wang Tao! I am Lan Yulian! Xiaofeng is by my side! Woohoo...it's great that you are still alive! By the way, is Xiaoxue safe?"
Lan Yulian was so excited that she burst into tears.
"I'm glad to see that you are okay. Xiaoxue and I are both safe, don't worry. Now, do you need help?"
Wang Tao said with a smile. Hearing that Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng were not in danger, his solemn mood relaxed a lot.
"Yes! There is a group of powerful third-level elite zombies in the southwest of the base. They may want to destroy the high wall of the base! Xiaofeng wants to go out and hunt them, but the danger is too great...Help me!"
Lan Yulian believed in Wang Tao's strength, and she felt that Wang Tao would be able to solve it.
"Hold on."
On the plane, Wang Tao left the co-pilot and said hello.
"Come with me and let's go shooting together!"
"good!"
