Chapter 151 Zombies Attack the City (V)
"Yes, sir, and the number of zombies is similar to the number of zombies we encountered in Sanctuary City No. 3 yesterday. ReadМ" Before Xia Chuan could speak, Luo Lu replied.
Luo Ren frowned and fell into deep thought.
Xia Chuan smiled and said: "It may be just a coincidence. Chief Luo Ren doesn't need to worry so much."
"No, no, no." Luo Ren shook his head repeatedly, denying Xia Chuan's statement, and then said, "Let's go in and talk."
Several people entered the military tent and each found chairs to sit down. Luo Ren said to Xia Chuan: "Luo Lu should have told you that Shelter City No. 3 was also attacked by a large number of zombies yesterday. Fortunately, we arrived in time and saved Sanctuary City No. 3. The tens of thousands of people in Sanctuary City.”
"I did say it." Xia Chuan nodded.
Luo Ren continued: "Actually, after Luo Lu reported to you, there was another zombie siege. The scale was not weaker than the first one, and there were also level 2 zombie commanders."
"What?!"
Xia Chuan, Luo Lu, and Liu Lianxin were all extremely surprised. There were two large-scale zombie sieges in a short period of time, and they were in the same city. Such a thing was so rare that they had never encountered it before.
"At first, I thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out why there were two large-scale zombie attacks on the same city in a short period of time. I assumed it was just a coincidence. But now I heard from you that Sanctuary City No. 4 also suffered a large-scale zombie attack this morning. In addition, You also said that you encountered more than a dozen groups of zombies on the way here, and I also encountered them when I came here.
And I also encountered the same situation yesterday on the way to Sanctuary City No. 3. If this is just a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.
Such a coincidence seemed almost planned. "
Luo Ren's words made Liu Lianxin, Xia Chuan, and Luo Lu fall into deep thought, because, indeed, as Luo Ren said, such a coincidence was as if it had been artificially arranged.
Seeing that several people were silent, Luo Ren analyzed: "Moreover, the zombie groups are attacking cities with weak military strength such as Sanctuary City No. 3 and No. 4. If it weren't for us, these two cities would have become a paradise for zombies."
After these words fell, after dozens of seconds of silence, Xia Chuan said: "According to my understanding, once a zombie reaches level 2, it will have self-awareness and a certain degree of wisdom, but it is very limited and can only show some fear, excitement, etc. Emotions, or decisions such as escape, and even level 2 zombies can only simply control low-level zombies and will never make targeted attacks on cities with weak defenses as you said. "
"You are right, level 2 zombies are indeed not smart enough to do such a thing." Luo Ren nodded and confirmed Xia Chuan's statement, then his eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "But what if the zombies have evolved Are there level 3 zombies?”
Luo Ren's words could be described as "astonishing", and the other three were stunned.
Yes, level 2 zombies appeared half a year ago, and according to the evolution speed of zombies, level 3 zombies should also appear in the past six months.
Before this, Luo Ren, Xia Chuan, and Liu Lianxin had all guessed what level 3 zombies would look like based on level 2 zombies and level 1 zombies.
Level 3 strength zombies, larger size, stronger strength, and harder body;
Level 3 speed zombies, faster, sharper claws, and more timid and cautious?
All speculations are based on these aspects, but Luo Ren's analysis just now adds another direction, that is, higher wisdom, and this one is the most terrifying. Strength, defense, and size are nothing. The existing weapons of mankind are enough to fight against such a big event.
As for speed, although it is more troublesome, there are ways to deal with it.
But if it is wisdom, it is not a little troublesome, but very troublesome. Just like the arrangement of the past two days, looking for shelter cities with weak defenses to attack, does it mean that level 3 zombies will also choose other survivors with weak military strength to live in groups? What about land invasion?
At this moment, Luo Ren couldn't help but think of a strategy that existed in his original world, which was to surround the city with the countryside.
If compared individually, large settlements such as the base, the Wasteland Military Region, and Sanctuary City No. 1 would definitely have a larger population than scattered settlements of no more than 10,000 or 20,000 people. But overall comparison, it is certain that the total population of these small settlements is even greater than the total population of large settlements, at least not less.
And if these scattered small settlements are all captured by zombies, then the overall strength of the zombie population will inevitably increase significantly. In this way, large forces such as bases and wasteland military regions may also be captured by zombies just like small settlements. .
At this moment, not only Luo Ren, but also Liu Lianxin, Xia Chuan, and Luo Lu's eyes were full of worry.
"Report——"
At this time, the sentry outside the door came in. He said to Liu Lianxin: "Report to the city lord. There is a report from the city gate. A group of more than 300 survivors have come to seek refuge."
"Got it." Liu Lianxin waved her hand, then turned to Luo Ren and others and said, "More than ten groups of survivors have come here in the past few days. It is said that they are all because the settlement where they live was captured by zombies, and the surviving humans ”
"More than ten batches?" Xia Chuan asked in shock: "Have level 3 zombies already attacked other small human settlements?"
As soon as the words fell, an endless sense of crisis spread, and soon enveloped the four people, making them all silent.
"hiss--"
After a long silence, Luo Ren took a deep breath. He was an optimistic person and a person who never gave up. Since he came to this world, he had thought that since he was here, he should make the best of it.
So when facing a level 3 zombie, he would say, "Since it's here, we should deal with it!"
It's just a level 3 zombie, why should he be afraid of it!
Facing the three people who were unable to breathe due to the sense of crisis, Luo Ren's eyes lit up with fire and said, "When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. To survive in this doomsday, isn't it about creating hope in despair?
From being chased by ordinary zombies to picking up weapons to kill ordinary zombies;
From ordinary guns being unable to deal with level 1 zombies to us using heavy weapons to kill them;
From the irresistible level 2 zombies to now we have level 2 evolvers who can easily kill level 2 zombies;
Why should we be afraid of a mere level 3 zombie? I don't believe that the wisdom of mankind for thousands of years can't beat its wisdom of less than half a year!"
As soon as these words came out, the other three people were greatly encouraged, and the sense of crisis that enveloped their hearts immediately dissipated.
Liu Lianxin agreed and said, "That's right. To survive in adversity, humans are no pushovers to the position of Blue Star's overlord."
Xia Chuan also nodded in agreement. After calming down, he continued, "The issue of level 3 zombies needs to be discussed in the long run. Let's put it aside for now. Commander Luo Ren, please tell us the purpose of this meeting."
"Okay." Luo Ren turned to Xia Chuan and said, "Now that the three shelter cities No. 1, No. 3, and No. 4 have been taken, there is only one shelter city No. 2 left. Should we attack or not? What do you think?"
Xia Chuan touched his chin and thought for a while, and analyzed, "The zombies are too strong at the moment. Active, the Kingdom Army I lead must stay to guard Sanctuary City No. 4, and your guards must also guard Sanctuary City No. 3. In this way, we can't spare any troops to deal with Sanctuary City No. 2.
Moreover, Sanctuary City No. 2 is very strong at this time. If we attack it, we will inevitably lose soldiers and generals, causing considerable losses. In this situation, we need to save our strength to deal with zombie attacks, so I mean not to fight. "
Luo Ren nodded and agreed with Xia Chuan's words, "You are right, then we will temporarily give up attacking Sanctuary City No. 2 and make plans after the situation stabilizes."
"Okay." Xia Chuan responded.
"Then the next question is the distribution of benefits. According to the previous plan, I want two cities to capture four cities, but now I only capture three cities. This..." Luo Ren smiled and deliberately didn't finish his words, but the meaning can be heard as long as the ears are not deaf.
Xia Chuan smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, but I can't make the decision. The commander has to speak up. Otherwise, you can go with me to the Wasteland Military District and talk to the commander face to face?"
"There is no need to talk face to face. You can write a letter to Commander Liu and explain the matter clearly in the letter."
Luo Ren directly rejected Xia Chuan's proposal. He did this for safety reasons. The Wasteland Military District is their territory. Although it is an alliance, the risk of rebellion in the four cities has been basically eliminated. No one can guarantee that Liu Yongnian will not abandon him.
Of course, he is confident that he can escape even from the Wasteland Military District with his own strength, but as the saying goes, it is always right to be cautious.
As the deputy commander, Xia Chuan must be a smart man. He could hear Luo Ren's worry from his words. Faced with such a situation, Xia Chuan did not point out the meaning of Luo Ren's words. He just smiled and agreed: "It's okay to write a letter."
"Yeah." Luo Ren nodded slightly, and then said: "That's it, you write a letter immediately and send someone to deliver it."
Liu Lianxin saw that the two had almost finished talking, so she interrupted and said: "You must be hungry after talking for so long. Let's go and eat something to replenish our energy."
"Okay."
Luo Ren and Xia Chuan nodded at the same time.
Several people left the military tent and headed towards the place where they had dinner under the leadership of Liu Lianxin.
Time flew to the next day.
The sky was gray and bright, and a Hummer off-road vehicle drove into the No. 1 Sanctuary City. No one dared to stop the car from entering the city because the car was labeled with the Kingdom Army.
The vehicle sped along the street, and the roar of the engine woke up the residents in the houses on both sides from their sleep. Many people leaned to the window and rubbed their eyes to see clearly what disturbed their sweet dreams.
Unfortunately, the speed was too fast. When they looked at the street, the Hummer off-road vehicle had disappeared.
The Hummer off-road vehicle slowed down as it approached the city center, and the noise immediately became much smaller.
After driving for a long time, a military tent appeared in front of the car, and the car stopped.
The sky was pale, and the gray sky had become completely bright. After washing up, Luo Ren had a simple breakfast.
"Commander Luo Ren."
Suddenly he heard someone calling him, and Luo Ren subconsciously looked over. It was Xia Chuan. He saw that he was holding a letter in his hand and his face was full of smiles.
"Has Commander Liu's reply arrived?" Luo Ren was surprised. After dinner yesterday, Xia Chuan immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the Wasteland Military District. Logically, there should be a reply.
Luo Ren stepped forward, looked at the letter in Xia Chuan's hand, and smiled: "Has Commander Liu replied?"
"Yes." Xia Chuan handed the letter to Luo Ren and said: "The commander said that the distribution of benefits will still be as stated before. You take two cities, and we only need one, but we must take No. 1 Sanctuary City."
Luo Ren opened the letter and saw that Liu Yongnian said: "The conditions can be the same as before. Sanctuary Cities No. 3 and No. 4 belong to the base, and Sanctuary City No. 1 belongs to the military region."
Sanctuary City No. 1 has a population of 140,000, while Sanctuary City No. 3 and Sanctuary City No. 4 have a combined population of more than 130,000. The numbers seem to be similar, but the important thing is that although Sanctuary City No. 1 has suffered a loss of troops, it is not as strong as Sanctuary City No. 3. , Sanctuary City No. 4, the troops are almost empty, so a lot of external troops need to be deployed to guard. Now that the zombies are rioting, the Royal Army must concentrate some strength to ensure its own safety.
Therefore, in general, this distribution is the most beneficial to the Wasteland Military Region.
Luo Ren frowned slightly and said: "This allocation is fine, but now that zombies are rampant, the guards need to guard Sanctuary City No. 3. If your royal army retreats from Sanctuary City No. 4, Sanctuary City No. 4 will have no defense, wouldn't it be quite Running naked in front of zombies?
Asylum City No. 4 is dozens of kilometers away from the base and has a population of tens of thousands. If I want to move all its population to the base, ten days and a half will definitely not be enough time. "
"I have also considered this matter. I can temporarily keep two thousand Kingdom troops in Sanctuary City No. 4 until Commander Luo Ren relocates all the people in the city. I am withdrawing the troops. What do you think?" Xia Chuan thought for a while, Solutions are given.
Although they only formed an alliance with Luo Ren regarding the four cities, and now that the matter is over, the alliance will naturally be disbanded. However, people must be kind. The current situation is special, and it is necessary for them to help Luo Ren guard Sanctuary City No. 4 for a period of time.
Because it is better to have a good relationship with a big force like the base than to stalemate the relationship. After all, if everything is not guaranteed, there will still be things to ask for in the future.
Luo Ren was quite satisfied with Xia Chuan's solution. It was done fairly kindly. He nodded and said, "In this case, I think it's okay."
"Haha." Xia Chuan laughed and extended his hand to shake Luo Ren's hand, "Then, happy cooperation."
Luo Ren also smiled, shook hands with Xia Chuan and said, "Happy cooperation."
After reaching a consensus, Luo Ren immediately returned to Sanctuary City No. 3, departing at noon and arriving in the afternoon. Moreover, he did not encounter roadblocks composed of dozens of zombies on the road approaching Sanctuary City No. 3.
After entering the city, he immediately summoned Luo Shan, Luo Hai and others. He looked at Luo Shan and asked first, "Have zombies attacked the city in the past few days since I have been away?"
Luoshan said: "Sir, no."
"It seems that the appearance of dozens of zombies forming a roadblock is probably a sign of a zombie siege. However, there are also zombie roadblocks on the road near Sanctuary City No. 1. Why don't we see zombies attacking the city?"
Luo Ren was confused, but he was quickly suppressed by him. He decided to do business first and wait for everyone. He said: "Our alliance with the Wasteland Military Region to deal with the four cities has come to an end. According to the conditions, Asylum No. 3 The population and resources of the city and Sanctuary City No. 4 belong to us." After a pause, Luo Ren continued: "At the moment, the zombies are too active. For safety reasons, we can ignore the resources, but we have to move the population back to the base as soon as possible.
The Royal Army promised to leave 2,000 troops to help us guard Sanctuary City No. 4 until all the population in it is relocated. Therefore, we will move the population of Sanctuary City No. 4 first. "
