Chapter 1105 Battle in the Air! (Long Chapter)
At 5:30 in the morning, the sky was turning pale.
Outside the wall of the Northern Federation.
Roar, roar, roar!
The number of zombies is impossible to estimate, but judging from the zombie waves encountered in the past, there are definitely hundreds of thousands of zombies outside the wall of the Northern Federation.
The guards on the wall were terrified when they saw so many zombies.
Although they were blocked by the tall wall, it was difficult to stay calm in the face of so many zombies.
Time flowed slowly.
The morning sun reflected the red mountains in the distance, and the rosy clouds were thousands of miles away. A ray of sunlight shone on the wall of the Northern Federation and on the faces of the guards on it, revealing those terrified faces.
Soon.
After the shift change, the guards on duty on the wall returned to the city to rest.
"Cheng Hong, there are too many zombies outside. They don't retreat even when the sun comes out. I'm afraid the rumor is true!"
"Rumor? What rumor?"
"Haven't you heard? People in Oil City can control zombies. You said it's not raining, but there are so many zombies running outside the wall for no reason. It must be the work of people in Oil City."
"Hiss! I have heard of this rumor, but it's hard to believe. This, this, this."
"Don't say whether you believe it or not. Weren't you on duty just now? There are so many zombies. The facts are in front of you. Do you still need to doubt it?"
At this time, a man came from a distance. He was Lao Sha from the Inner City Logistics Comprehensive Management Office.
"Cheng Hong, Zhao Yi, what are you two talking about? So mysterious, it was too noisy last night, what happened over the wall?"
The two looked at each other, and Zhao Yi said in a low voice: "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."
Unknowingly, the news that the Northern Federation was surrounded by the zombie tide spread at a very fast speed, and another news was also circulated:
All this was controlled by the Oil City. The reason why the Oil City was in trouble was because Sima Xi didn't know whether to live or die and led the army to offend the Oil City.
For a time, the spearhead was pointed at Sima Xi.
Blamed him for offending the people of the Oil City.
People are afraid, seek benefits and avoid harm, and will find ways to push people out to take the blame.
In fact, those who have seen the letter written by the city lord of the Dazhangshu base to Yuan Zhi know better that Dazhangshu wants not only to hand over Sima Xi, but also a series of other harsh conditions!
The morning glow is thousands of miles, and Li Yu gets up early.
On Jinggui Mountain.
Li Yu got up early and came to the highest platform of Wuxian Temple and stretched his body.
In recent days, the temperature can be felt to be rising. Although it is still below zero, it is not as low as 20 to 30 degrees below zero, but about 10 degrees below zero.
It is a good sign.
Jinggui Mountain is high, overlooking the mountains, plains, and the world of ice and snow.
Hmm?
Li Yu looked down the mountain intently. In the valley between the two mountains, hundreds of zombies were passing through.
It is more than 100 kilometers away from the Northern Federation, nearly 200 kilometers away. The zombies so far away from the Northern Federation are also heading towards the Northern Federation.
It is estimated that the medicine was released at more than 12 o'clock last night, and it is six or seven hours from now, so the zombies within dozens of kilometers around the Northern Federation have passed.
Tsk!
That's at least a million!
Let the bullets fly for a while, and let the zombies behind walk for a while.
Li Yu was in a good mood, yawned, and got off the platform.
"Uncle San." As soon as he came down, he saw Uncle San standing next to the helicopter to check the helicopter.
On the other side, Lao Bi, Hua Chen and others were refueling the helicopter.
Later, they would go with Uncle San and others to see the effect of the release of the medicine.
"Xiao Yu, I'll leave right away to check the situation in the North." Uncle San was in high spirits and had a good sleep yesterday.
Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay, pay attention to safety and don't get too close to the North. I'm afraid they will give up and send a helicopter to die with us."
"Don't worry, I'll watch it. Besides, if they want to die together, I won't give them a chance." Uncle San said confidently.
The reason why he is so confident is that he has enough strength.
Uncle San suddenly thought of something, so he turned his head and said to Li Yu:
"By the way, the zombies are besieging the city. Should we contact the people of the Northern Federation next and ask them if they are willing to agree to our previous conditions?"
Li Yu shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, the Northern Federation is such a big force, they can still withstand this pressure now, wait a little longer."
According to their plan, after using the potion, they can attract zombies around the Northern Federation. It will take at least two or three days to attract the farthest zombies.
Under normal circumstances, zombies move slower than humans, but zombies do not rest at all and can walk 24 hours a day. On average, they are much faster than humans walking per hour.
After millions or even tens of millions of zombies run outside the walls of the Northern Federation.
The Northern Federation is a besieged city. People inside can't even think of getting out, except by helicopter, but how many people can a helicopter carry?
A few days later, zombies gathered around the Northern Federation. At that time, they were 30 kilometers away from the Northern Federation and could use heavy artillery to bomb the Northern Federation freely.
After Uncle San finished checking the helicopter, he said hello to Li Yu and got on the helicopter.
The weather was nice and the sun was shining.
The zombies on the ground slowed down their movements because the sun was out, like machines that had been running for many years, their movements were a little sluggish.
Buzz buzz buzz——
Three helicopters took off and flew towards the north.
Li Yu rubbed his hands and returned to the ruined temple.
Northern Federation.
As time passed, more and more people knew about the news of the zombie siege.
Yin Xi on the wall looked ashen.
He had been standing in this position for half an hour.
With bloodshot eyes, he looked at the zombies outside, his heart was in turmoil.
He did not sleep all night, just wanting to wait until the sun came out to see if the zombies outside the wall would leave.
However, reality gave him a heavy blow.
Not only did the zombies not leave, but looking into the distance with a telescope, they could even see more zombies rushing towards them.
This did not match their previous understanding of zombies.
Zombies like darkness and dampness and hate sunlight.
But now the sun is out, and these zombies have not left!
Everything in front of him could not help but remind people of the rumor that Oil City could control zombies.
"Captain, you." A guard saw Yin Xi standing there for a long time, and came over and said with some concern.
Yin Xi heard the call from his men, as if waking up from a dream.
He rubbed his swollen eyes, which were a little dry and stinging.
"It's okay, I'll go to the Governor's Mansion, you stay here and be careful with them." Yin Xi twisted his stiff neck and said.
After going down the wall, Yin Xi walked straight to the Governor's Mansion.
On the way to the Governor's Mansion, he was heavy-hearted.
He was here when the Northern Federation was just established, and he had always followed Yuan Zhi. He had a deep affection for the North.
The Northern Federation has encountered many setbacks and hardships over the years, but they have all survived successfully.
However, facing a force that can control zombies at this time, he felt unspeakable despair in his heart.
He didn't know whether the Federation could survive this time.
When he came to the Governor's Office, he found that there were already many people waiting here.
"Captain Han, Captain Liu, Director Chao. Why are you all here? Where is the Governor?"
Han Li and the others looked at Ma Song, who said, "The Governor is still upstairs and will come down soon."
Yin Xi frowned and asked Han Li, "Captain Han, did you find anything when you flew out in a helicopter last night? Or did you find anyone from the Oil City?"
Han Li shook his head and said, "No."
Yin Xi said with an ugly face, "The situation outside the wall is very serious now. The sun is out, and the number of zombies has not decreased, but has continued to increase. There may be as many as one million zombies now!"
"One million!?" Liu Wei stood up from the sofa in shock.
He also knew that the zombies outside the wall had not left, but he didn't know there were so many zombies!
"Yes, they are still increasing." Yin Xi sighed and said.
Han Li also sighed: "Last night, I led the team out to observe the situation, and found that the zombies a hundred kilometers away were all rushing towards our Northern Federation."
"Based on the current situation, Oil City should have done something. They should have really mastered some means to control zombies!"
Liu Wei, Wang An and others fell silent for a while, their eyes wandering, and I don't know what they were thinking.
At this time, Chao Yuan suddenly said: "My people are asking for support at the sentry tower. Han Li, can you send a helicopter to rescue them?"
Han Li shrugged and said:
"I want to, but this matter requires the governor's consent. We have so many sentry towers, and the helicopter will hover for a long time, and it is estimated that a lot of fuel will be consumed. You can mention this matter to the governor later. If the governor agrees, I will do it."
Hearing Han Li say this, Chao Yuan didn't know what to say. After all, Han Li obeyed Governor Yuan Zhi, and any action could only be taken after the governor's order.
"Ahem."
At this time, an old cough came from outside the door.
And then.
Yuan Zhi's figure appeared at the door.
His back was slightly hunched, his face was a little grayish black, and his eyes were red, which made him look like he didn't sleep well.
When he walked to the office, he was not too surprised to see so many people.
When he came down just now, the personal guard had told him.
"Ahem, tell me, what's the situation outside now?" Yuan Zhi sat on the middle chair and said to everyone after taking a sip of hot water.
Yin Xi was the first to speak, "Governor, the number of zombies outside the wall is still increasing, and it is estimated that there are as many as one million now! I suspect that Oil City really controls the zombies!"
"What?" Yuan Zhi suddenly sat up from the sofa.
His eyes were full of bloodshot, and he asked in shock: "It's dawn, haven't the zombies retreated yet?"
"No, the number of zombies outside the wall has not decreased, but is still increasing!" Yin Xi said in a low voice.
Yuan Zhi sat down a little lost, muttering: "Oil City can really control zombies!"
It was not a question, but a tone of certainty, with anger and helplessness in the tone of certainty.
But he has been in control of the Northern Federation for many years, so his mental quality is still very strong.
He quickly adjusted his mentality and said to everyone with a determined look:
"This is not the first time we have encountered a zombie wave in the past few years. As long as it doesn't rain, the zombies outside are not worth mentioning. Yin Xi, all staff on duty will change their duty hours and change from three shifts to two shifts."
Yin Xi felt calm and calm from Yuan Zhi, and his initially panicked mood suddenly calmed down a lot.
He nodded heavily and said, "Understood!"
Yuan Zhi said to Liu Wei again: "The artillery team is on standby at any time. It's cold now and it shouldn't rain. If it rains after a while, you can help Yin Xi hold up the wall. The Northern Federation has never been invaded by zombies before. It has been broken before, but it won’t happen now, and it won’t happen in the future either!”
When Yuan Zhi said these words, he was loud and clear, which was completely different from the sluggish look he had just entered the office.
"Okay!" Liu Wei also started to fight. The governor was right. They had gone through so much in the north. How could they be defeated by a small oil city this time.
"That." Chao Yuan suddenly said.
"Huh?" Yuan Zhi looked at him.
Chaoyuan quickly said: "The brothers in the sentry tower are surrounded by zombies, and the people from Oil City bombed our sentry tower yesterday. The underground is full of zombies, and there is no way to come back.
If the people from Oil City bomb them again, they will have no choice but to wait for death!
In addition, they only have enough food for a few days now. If they want to come back, can the helicopter brigade rescue them? "
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Zhi instinctively wanted to refuse.
But seeing that everyone in the office was there, he thought for a while and said: "Let's do this, let them hold on for two more days and reassure them that we will definitely rescue them before they run out of ammunition and food.
In addition, there is no guarantee that the zombies will leave in the next few days, so there is no need to worry about it then. "
After finishing speaking, Chaoyuan struggled a little with his eyes and hesitated to speak, but finally said: "Okay, let me comfort them."
Yuan Zhi nodded and continued: "Next, we have to figure out why these zombies came suddenly."
"By the way, Ma Song. Yesterday I asked you and Yin Xi to go over to the wall to check. Did you find anything?"
Ma Song stepped forward from behind Yuan Zhi, faced Yuan Zhi and said, "Nothing was found."
Yuan Zhi sighed imperceptibly, but still said firmly: "It's okay. I'll try to find clues and I'll be able to find out the cause. Also, what do the zombie experts in the base say?"
In the Northern Federation, a research laboratory composed of some biological experts was also established, but it never produced any results and was later marginalized.
The abnormality of the zombies this time made Yuan Zhi suddenly think of it.
Ma Song remembered that he went to the research room this morning, and his expression was a little subtle.
When he went to the research room in the morning, the so-called experts didn't know anything about it. After in-depth investigation, he found out that these experts were all entrusted by the base's senior officials to provide for their retirement.
There is no use for it, and I enjoy welfare benefits, but no research results have been produced.
There are too many people in the Northern Federation, and Yuan Zhi cannot manage all aspects. There is always corruption in personnel appointments.
It was like this before the end of the world, and it will still be like this after the end of the world.
But he couldn't tell what he found out, otherwise he might offend Liu Wei and Wang An.
So he said: "It's still under study."
After Yuan Zhi heard this, he frowned and said, "Every time I ask, I say this, tell them to hurry up and at least figure out why so many zombies are coming to us in such a concentration."
"Moreover, these zombies haven't run away at dawn. This goes against the zombies' instinct to like darkness. Unless something attracts or controls them, these zombies can gather here against the sun."
As he talked, Yuan Zhi became smoother and smoother, and some of the guesses in his head became clearer.
"Yes, as I just said, the people in Oil City must have used some means to control those zombies. As long as we find the person who controls these zombies? Or something, these zombies will leave.
And this thing, or the people in Oil City, must be controlling these zombies through some kind of connection, and it must not be too far away! "
Yuan Zhi's eyes lit up slightly and he continued:
"Just follow my idea and investigate!"
"Han Li, you, Ma Song, and the biological experts, go investigate this matter!"
Han Li said:
"Yesterday I took the helicopter team and ran out for a hundred kilometers. Zombies from a hundred kilometers away were also coming towards us, and the whereabouts of the people from Oil City were not found."
Yuan Zhi glared and said angrily:
"Have you searched carefully for a hundred kilometers around? It was so dark yesterday, what could you see clearly?"
"Besides, as you just said, zombies from a hundred kilometers away are coming to us. What about two hundred kilometers? What about three hundred kilometers? At least one thing must be confirmed. The people in Oil City control how many zombies come around!"
"Then go find the people in Oil City. I am becoming more and more suspicious now that the people in Oil City have not left. They must be controlling these zombies behind the scenes. You! You must find them!"
Han Li: "."
It's not that simple. Helicopter search has a broad view in the air, but it is still high in the sky after all.
If two people were hidden in the house, they wouldn't be able to find them.
Besides, it's still such a large range, hundreds of kilometers, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But he couldn't answer like that, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Okay, I will work hard!"
Yuan Zhi looked at Yuan Luo in the logistics department and said, "For logistics, military control will be implemented from now on, and everyone will reduce their food quota by 20%."
Buzz——
Lao Qin controlled the helicopter to fly to the Northern Federation.
Uncle San sat in the co-pilot, looking at the location of the sentry tower marked on the map.
"At two o'clock, about five kilometers away, there is a sentry tower that has been blown up." Uncle San said lightly.
"Okay."
Lao Qin controlled the helicopter to fly over.
Boom!
The people in the sentry tower were killed by rockets before they could use the intercom to contact the headquarters in the North.
"Not bad. The next one." Uncle San nodded slightly and said with satisfaction.
Looking down at the zombie tide below, it is still more than ten kilometers away from the Northern Federation, and the density of zombies is not that high.
Above Uncle San and his friends, there is another helicopter observing in the sky at a higher altitude. Once a helicopter is sent out from the Northern Federation, they will immediately contact Uncle San and his friends to evacuate.
A few minutes later, Lao Bi drove a helicopter and bombed another sentry tower.
But the sentry tower had already sent out the message when they approached.
Three helicopters, two at low altitude and one at high altitude, supporting each other.
At the same time.
In the Northern Federation.
Zizizizi——
Chao Yuan received the message from the sentry tower that the people from Oil City sent helicopters to bomb again.
After receiving this message, he quickly said to the governor:
"Governor, the people from Oil City are bombing our sentry tower again!"
Yuan Zhi was not surprised but happy when he heard this: "Han Li, send out a helicopter brigade immediately to track them down. We must find out where they are parked even if we chase them to death!"
The opportunity has come!
Han Li had been holding back his anger for a long time. When he heard that the people from Oil City were coming again, he stood up excitedly and said, "Got it!"
After that, he rushed out.
This time, he must let the people from Oil City know who is the king of the sky!
