Chapter 285 Abandoning the Base
It was already night when Wang Tao returned to the military base.
This was Wang Tao's first time flying in the dark. Fortunately, he was safe along the way and there were no accidents.
"Wang Tao! They actually sent someone here..."
Ding Yuqin and others were very excited after seeing Wang Tao. Changhe Base City was actually willing to send people to rescue the survivors of Bauhinia Base!
"I didn't expect it either, but this is a good thing. We will all go to the Redbud Base tomorrow!"
"What about the military base?"
Yang Changhong asked subconsciously.
"Here... we can only give up."
Looking at the huge military base, Wang Tao was a little reluctant to give up, but there was nothing he could do about it. The military base here is too close to the urban area of Wuyang City, and it may be trampled by giant zombies at any time. If they leave early now, they might be able to save the military base. After all, it is inhumane, and those powerful zombies may not coming.
The military base also has some food, weapons and ammunition. These cannot be wasted.
The food was made into nutrient solution by Wang Tao, making it easy to carry. Weapons and ammunition were loaded onto the helicopter.
Everyone tidied up all night, and it wasn't until the next morning that everything was ready.
The helicopter would definitely be unable to transport all these people and goods in one trip, and would have to make two trips.
Wang Tao asked He Jijun to transport the goods first.
The first cargo delivery was easy, and the helicopter returned to the military base again.
Wang Tao used his authority to lock up the entire military base. Maybe you can still use this place in the future, or maybe you won't need it anymore. But no matter what, it is good to preserve the military base.
After confirming that nothing was missing, Wang Tao took everyone on the plane.
Buzz——
The helicopter took off, Wang Tao took one last look at the military base, and then took a deep breath.
"Let's go."
On the way, Wang Tao kept observing the movements of zombies on the ground.
The zombies that ran out of Wuyang City did not all go to Zijing City, they also went to other places. This is good news for Wang Tao.
However, Wang Tao saw a giant zombie walking out of Wuyang City on the road! Although this giant zombie did not go towards Bauhinia City, Wang Tao could not guarantee whether other giant zombies would go to Bauhinia City... He could only take one step at a time.
When we arrived at the Bauhinia Base, it was already afternoon.
I don’t know if it’s because of the frequent use of helicopters today, but there are more zombies around the base. When the helicopter landed in the base, the zombies outside the base became more violent.
"What kind of medicine did these zombies take..."
Wang Tao complained, and then Ding Yuqin and the others met with Lan Yulian and the others.
"Changhong!"
Lan Yulian and Yang Changhong hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they hugged each other.
After seeing Yang Changhong and Wang Tao being relatively close, Lan Yulian looked at Wang Tao with a little resentment.
Although she had already guessed it, guessing it was one thing, seeing it with her own eyes was another thing.
Then Lan Yulian met Ding Yuqin, Han Rui, Li Qiuyu and others.
Wang Tao had already introduced several people to each other in advance, so they were all mentally prepared.
After the girls met, they had some secret rivalries, but they all knew that now was not the time to be jealous, so they all glared at Wang Tao in a tacit understanding. If they could survive this crisis, they would look for Wang Tao again in the future. Slowly settle accounts!
"..."
Wang Tao simply pretended not to see it and called on everyone to get all the weapons that had been delivered before.
"Put these heavy machine guns on the wall, which should be able to stop a lot of zombies. There are also some bombs, grenades, etc., share them all... and then go kill the zombies!"
Since you are ready to defend to the death, you can't waste time.
"yes!"
Everyone responded, and then moved their weapons and ammunition to the high wall.
There is a special shooting area on the high wall of the base, which is like a small house. It can block corrosive acid rain and prevent weapons and equipment from being corroded.
Da da da--
After setting up the heavy machine gun, he immediately started shooting at the zombies outside!
The lethality of heavy machine guns is much higher than that of rifles and pistols. In an instant, a bunch of crazy zombies were crushed!
Seeing this killing effect, before Lan Yulian and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw more crazy zombies swarming up!
"It's impossible to kill all these zombies..."
"As long as I can suppress the zombie attacks for the time being, I don't want to ask for too much."
After several people set up these heavy machine guns, Wang Tao looked at the tide of zombies and saw three more third-level lord zombies.
Wang Tao jumped down without saying a word and spent some time to deal with the three lord zombies.
After collecting the loot, Wang Tao used the iron tree vines to return to the high wall.
Without the lord zombies, the attacks of those crazy zombies became somewhat chaotic.
"Call me if a lord zombie appears."
Leave the ordinary zombies to others. Wang Tao only needs to deal with the lord zombies. After all, his physical strength is limited. If too much time is wasted on ordinary zombies, the gain will outweigh the gain.
Wang Tao returned to the central area of the base.
"Wang Tao, I want to tell everyone about the reinforcements..."
Lan Yulian suddenly said to Wang Tao.
In the past two days, zombies have begun to attack the Bauhinia base crazily, causing the survivors in the base to panic. She wanted to give the survivors some confidence, otherwise they would probably collapse.
"No problem. We must let them know about this."
Wang Tao nodded.
"Then let's announce this news together? After all, this is what you fought for..."
Lan Yulian looked at Wang Tao with sparkling eyes.
If it weren't for Wang Tao, they wouldn't have had this opportunity. Although having an opportunity doesn't mean you will definitely succeed, but without an opportunity you will never succeed. Everyone should know what Wang Tao did.
"Okay."
Lan Yulian once again summoned all the survivors in the base to the meeting place.
The survivors were a little nervous, not knowing what the leader was going to do.
When everyone arrived, Lan Yulian looked at the group of survivors with sallow faces, and she held a loud speaker and said:
"Everyone, I think everyone knows the situation of our base now. We are now an isolated island in Zijing City, and there is a risk of being swallowed by the zombie tide at any time..."
Lan Yulian talked about the current situation. Although everyone already knew it, when it came from the leader's mouth, it still made everyone a little panicked.
Could it be that the base still can't stop the tide of corpses, and they are going to die in this tide of corpses...
"But we can't give up. If we give up, then we will really have nothing. As long as we keep insisting, there must be hope of survival! Moreover, I want to tell you a good news now-"
Good news?
Everyone was stunned for a moment. What good news could there be at this time? Could it be that their leader Lan Yulian was promoted to the fourth level? But even if she was at the fourth level, she couldn't solve the tide of corpses outside, right?
"Before telling the good news, let me introduce you. This is..."
Lan Yulian pointed to Wang Tao beside her.
Before she said it, she heard someone below shouting:
"This is Mr. Wang Tao, we know him!"
After this person finished speaking, others echoed.
"Yes, we know him!"
Although Wang Tao didn't stay in the Bauhinia base for a long time, he knew many people and he had a good reputation.
The reason is very simple. When he was in Bauhinia City, he saved many people from the city sports center. After these people came back, they spread the word to ten people, and ten to a hundred people, and they all knew and knew Wang Tao.
In addition, the later people from Duzhu Town also followed Wang Tao's advice and came to the Bauhinia Base. Although they had a hard time along the way and some people died. But there are still many people who successfully came to the Bauhinia Base, and these people have to thank Wang Tao.
Of course, there is another point. It is rumored in the base that Wang Tao is the man of their leader! Although the leader did not admit it directly, he did not clarify it specifically.
So Wang Tao is not an unknown person here, he has long been famous.
Lan Yulian was very happy to see that the survivors knew Wang Tao. So she continued:
"Very good, since everyone knows him, I don't have to waste my words. Mr. Wang Tao contacted a large survivor base in another province before..."
Wow——
As soon as Lan Yulian said this, the survivors below immediately whispered.
Some people were curious, and some were excited.
In this terrifying corpse tide, there are other survivor bases!
Then can they help each other?
Or is it possible for them to go to other bases? After all, their base has been surrounded by tens of thousands of zombies. In this situation, the base will fall sooner or later...
Lan Yulian gave them some time to discuss. After they discussed a little less, she continued:
"That is a large survivor base organized by the government, called Changhe Base City, located in Xizhou Province. There are hundreds of thousands of survivors there, and a large number of armed forces! The important thing is that there are few zombies there, and there is no zombie tide!"
These simple words made everyone look longing.
But after hearing that this base was actually in Xizhou Province, everyone felt that their hope was instantly shattered.
Xizhou Province is a thousand kilometers away from Wuyang Province!
In the current situation where there are zombies everywhere, let alone a thousand kilometers, even a hundred kilometers, or even ten kilometers, they may not be able to walk!
A thousand kilometers, this is no different from sending them to their deaths.
Although there is a helicopter parked in the base now, it should be Mr. Wang Tao's, but how many people can a helicopter carry! They now have more than 20,000 people...
Looking at the people who were beginning to despair again, Lan Yulian immediately said:
"After Mr. Wang Tao and the other party discussed it, Changhe Base City decided to send someone to rescue us!"
"Ah?"
Everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe their ears.
"Rescue us?"
"Come from a place thousands of miles away?"
"This round trip must be more than 2,000 kilometers! How could they..."
The survivors couldn't believe that someone would really come to rescue them. After all, they had seen too much darkness in the end of the world. Suddenly seeing the light, they were a little uncomfortable.
"You heard it right, they are here to rescue us! I can guarantee it!"
After getting Lan Yulian's affirmation, the survivors slowly started to make a noise.
"Oh my God!"
"Are they really coming from afar to rescue us?"
"I'm not dreaming?"
"Then are we saved?"
"Since they dare to rescue us, it means that their strength must be very strong. We may really be saved!"
"..."
Looking at everyone whispering, Lan Yulian coughed and attracted everyone's attention.
"So, we just need to hold on now. It will take a few days for the reinforcements to arrive! As long as we can hold on for a few days, we can all survive!"
Lan Yulian said loudly.
After hearing this, the survivors' fearful and numb eyes really brightened up.
"Next, everyone should do their own work well and be ready to fight at any time. I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to survive this crisis!"
"Yes!"
When they came, these survivors were basically depressed. But when they left, their spirits were lifted a lot.
After all, persistence without hope and persistence with hope are completely different things.
After everyone left, Lan Yulian looked at Wang Tao.
"You said, can they come over in two days..."
Lan Yulian just said it very confidently, but in fact she was very nervous. It's just that she is the leader. If she doesn't show confidence, then others can't believe her.
"I don't know either. I just hope they have a smooth journey and don't encounter any big dangers..."
Wang Tao sighed.
It's hard for him to say about this kind of thing, but it's always good to have hope.
"I'm going out to kill zombies to improve Lightning's strength."
After Lightning was promoted to the second level, he had no time to improve his health bar. Now that he plans to defend the Bauhinia Base, he naturally has to let Lightning improve.
"Well, you be more careful!"
Wang Tao walked around the wall and found a place with relatively few zombies. Then he jumped down with Lightning in his arms.
Lightning now has only more than 5,000 health, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
These zombies outside the base range from the first level to the third level. Most of them are ordinary zombies. Occasionally there are some elite zombies, but no lord zombies have been seen.
Wang Tao asked Lightning to follow him closely, and then he took out the mutated explosion-proof baton.
His attack power is too high. If he uses a fang-shaped long knife or a shock wave, he may kill these zombies directly.
But if you use a baton, many zombies that have been electrocuted can still survive as long as they are not afraid of electricity.
Wang Tao found the right opportunity and swung a stick at a zombie.
Zizizizi--
The arc flashed, and the zombie attacked by Wang Tao had its head smashed and died instantly.
At the same time, the arc spread from this zombie to other zombies, and all the zombies were electrocuted! These zombies that were electrocuted did not die, but they were all left with residual blood.
Wang Tao immediately commanded Lightning to rush over and bite those zombies that were not dead to death.
Every time a zombie was bitten to death, Lightning's blood bar would increase a lot.
After all, it was only the second level, and Wang Tao left behind were all third-level zombies. For Lightning, it was a cross-level kill, and the blood volume obtained was multiplied by three times.
It didn't take long for Lightning's blood volume to reach 29999.
"Let's go back!"
Wang Tao picked up Lightning, used the vines of the iron tree to wrap around the protrusion on the high wall, and returned to the wall like a spider.
Then Wang Tao found Lan Yulian and took out some of the meat of the fourth-level wild boar monster that was left behind.
"Eat it!"
Wang Tao didn't know whether Lightning could still advance after eating this meat, but Lightning was only second-level after all, and the wild boar monster was fourth-level. Even if he couldn't advance, it should be good for Lightning to eat more meat. After all, after eating the meat of these monsters, some basic attributes will be slightly increased.
"Woof woof!"
Lightning barked, and then began to feast.
Compared with the last time, Lightning ate a lot more this time, but there was no change. Just when Wang Tao thought it might not work, Lightning suddenly stopped eating, and then ran directly to Wang Tao's feet and lay down next to Wang Tao's feet.
"Huh? It's really good!"
Wang Tao was immediately surprised.
It seems that the meat of these fourth-level monsters has a much greater effect on Lightning than they humans!
Moreover, Wang Tao felt that, to some extent, Lightning was also a kind of monster. After all, it was also mutated from an animal.
It was just that Lightning had no superpowers and could not fuse crystal cores. It was different from the monsters Wang Tao had seen, but similar to Jiang Shixue...
Anyway, it was a good thing that Lightning was promoted. Only when it reached the third level could it fight side by side with Wang Tao. Now its strength and blood volume were too low, and it would be a little burden to take it out to fight.
...
The addition of Wang Tao and his team greatly reduced the pressure on the Bauhinia Base.
After all, he moved all the hot weapons in the military base, and hot weapons were still useful for dealing with zombies below the fourth level.
"It feels like the attack of the zombie tide has slowed down a lot..."
On the top of the wall, Lu Yingfeng put down the telescope and said to Yang Changhong beside him.
"Indeed. It is estimated that these zombies cannot attack endlessly. They should also have to rest... It's dark now. Let's go down to eat something. We can't fight if we don't eat enough."
"Yeah."
Several people walked down the high wall.
Lu Yingfeng told Wang Tao about the changes in the zombies.
Wang Tao nodded and said:
"It seems that we can take a break, but we can't relax, after all, the zombies are more active at night. If you have any questions, call me at any time."
"Okay!"
After dinner, everyone started to change shifts.
Although the zombies' attacks outside the base slowed down, they did not stop. There was no way to be peaceful tonight.
Wang Tao started to rest directly.
He was the strongest fighter in the base and needed to be prepared for sudden situations at all times. When nothing happened, he had to rest well and conserve his energy.
At night.
Ding Yuqin woke Wang Tao up in a low voice.
"Wang Tao, there are suspected fourth-level zombies in the corpse tide!"
Wang Tao opened his eyes.
"Fourth-level zombies... finally here!"
For a corpse tide attack of this scale, it is impossible that there are only third-level zombies and no fourth-level zombies.
It turned out that they wanted to wait until night to attack!
"I'll go and see!"
