Chapter 118 Arsenal
Artillery and various bows and arrows followed.
The self-exploding zombies are too large and can easily become the target of concentrated fire. However, the flesh of self-destructing zombies is extremely tough. Not everyone in the shelter is a marksman. Many arrows and explosive shrapnel cannot even cause damage to it. There are still many self-destructing zombies that rush to the foot of the wall and initiate self-destruction.
"Dong dong dong!"
A series of explosions made Zhang Shi, who was directly above him, dizzy. Fortunately, Wu Qing's character exploded at the critical moment, triggering the mocking totem and putting a protective shield on the wall. This offset part of the shock wave generated by the explosion, otherwise With the number of self-destructing zombies, it's hard to say whether the wall can withstand such a high-intensity impact.
Zhao Feng worked hard to pull the heavy crossbow and shoot at the mutated zombies. Often one crossbow arrow could kill two or three mutated zombies standing close to each other. But facing a large number of mutated zombies, his killing efficiency was only a drop in the bucket, and his physical strength was also reduced. The high-intensity battle gradually bottomed out.
Ge Dalong's ice magic was more restrictive than harmful to these mutated zombies who were not afraid of pain.
Zhang Shi tried using water attacks. Although he successfully blocked a large number of ordinary zombies, those mutants were able to overcome their fear of water and continued to attack regardless of the corrosion of their flesh.
The situation on the battlefield became increasingly tense. Although the artillery and heavy crossbows are powerful, under the surging tide of zombies, every shot is like dropping a stone in the sea, and the ripples caused are quickly swallowed up. Although Ge Dalong's ice magic can make some zombies move slowly, those mutants seem to have willpower beyond ordinary people. Even if their bodies are covered in ice, they still struggle forward, as if they have no sense of pain.
Just when the battle reached a stalemate, a flash of lightning suddenly lit up in the sky, followed by a thunder across the sky, briefly dispelling the red light of the blood moon.
A moment later, pattering raindrops fell, falling on the zombies, corroding their flesh like strong acid.
The rain is like a magic weapon from heaven, bringing an unexpected turn to this battle that is on the verge of crisis. The raindrops not only corrode the flesh of the zombies, but also seemed to be a disinfectant created by nature to eliminate the zombie virus. There was a light freshness and chill in the air.
Those mutated zombies that were not afraid of pain actually began to show human expressions of pain under the wash of the rain. Their movements became sluggish, and some zombies even let out shrill wails in the rain, and their bodies gradually shrank, as if they had been Some mysterious force in the rain robs it of life.
What is even more shocking is that under the erosion of the rain, the red light on the chests of the mutated zombies gradually dimmed, the frequency of flashing slowed down, and eventually it was completely extinguished. The worms in their bodies seemed to have been wiped out by the rain, losing their vitality and could no longer be controlled. Zombies attack.
Zhang Shi was overjoyed when he saw this. He immediately realized that this was the best time to fight back. He shouted loudly to boost morale: "Everyone is here, hold on! This is our chance, while the zombies can't resist, use full firepower to completely eliminate these monsters!"
Zhang Shi became more brave as he fought. The White Tiger and Black Light Armor made his attributes higher and higher. Killing zombies was like mowing grass. Under his leadership, the fighting spirit of the soldiers was completely ignited. They were no longer afraid, but attacked the zombies more violently. The roar of artillery and heavy crossbows intertwined with the sound of rain, forming a passionate war song.
Ge Dalong was not to be outdone. He used ice magic again. This time, the frost and rain combined to form slippery ice surfaces, making it difficult for the zombies to gain a foothold. They fell to the ground one after another and became the soldiers' enemies. A living target.
Wu Qing's spiritual plants become more alive in the rain.
The vines were like giant dragons that were wandering around, wrapping around the lone zombies one by one, and then tightening them tightly until their bones were broken and their tendons were broken. Under the corrosion of rainwater, their death process is accelerated.
The Giant Sunflower had originally been focused on fighting the Titan Zombies. Since the sudden rainfall, the Titan zombies have obviously decided to retreat, and many Titans have even gone back to their caves.
Sunflower obviously also knows how to beat the drowned dog. Although the flames of the laser sweep are greatly washed away by the rain, it can still cause considerable damage to the Titans.
As time passed, the number of zombie groups began to decrease significantly, and their offensive became increasingly weak. With the joint efforts of the soldiers, the situation on the battlefield finally reversed, from passive defense to active offense. The entire plain was filled with the shrill roars of zombies.
Finally, when the blood moon recedes, there are not many zombies left. They either fall to the ground or are washed away by the rain until only their bones are left.
This arduous battle finally ended in victory for everyone in the shelter.
The soldiers cheered and hugged each other to celebrate this hard-won victory. Zhang Shi, Ge Dalong, Wu Qing and all the soldiers involved in the battle were all well aware of the thrill of this battle. The sudden appearance of the mutated zombie army increased the intensity of the zombie tide by more than one level. The main entrance of the wall was full of explosions. Fortunately, the cracks are strong because of the golden stone, otherwise the shelter might really be broken through by zombies. If they are caught in close combat, ordinary soldiers are no match for mutant zombies, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Zhang Shi silently pondered in his heart whether his own expansion had increased the intensity of the zombie tide, or whether the strength of the foursome had increased, causing the system to re-evaluate the shelter, leading to tonight's crisis.
The system prompt interrupted his thoughts.
The zombies tonight are of extremely high quality, but most of them died from rain corrosion, and the experience gained by everyone is also less than before. Everyone has reached level 17, and Zhang Shi is the leader, reaching level 20 and successfully unlocking a new skill.
[Shadow Swap: A skill without a grade, which can be used when there is a shadow, and the main body can be swapped with the shadow at any time. ]
Zhang Shi suppressed his worries and tested this new skill. He found that this skill has no cooldown time. As long as the shadow exists, it can be released without limit, which can greatly increase the upper limit of operation.
After the settlement of the zombie tide, everyone was rewarded with an additional design drawing. Zhang Shi opened it and the gloom in his heart was swept away.
[Arsenal (Purple) X1: After construction, the soldier transfer function is opened, some technology is unlocked, and the speed and quality of the barracks generating soldiers are improved. ]
Zhang Shi excitedly built it immediately and placed it in the middle of the barracks, letting the barracks guard it.
Sure enough, a lot of information appeared in the system interface. Zhang Shi took a rough look and roughly understood the function of this building.
In simple terms, the Arsenal can strengthen the attributes of soldiers and give them more detailed occupational subdivisions. For example, Zhang Shi can transfer the assault soldier after the soldier reaches the standard level. There are many career choices. Zhang Shi is more concerned about artillery and cavalry. One of these two arms can cooperate with artillery to defend the shelter, and the other can have high mobility and cooperate with scouts to expand and explore.
In addition, this building also unlocks some military technology, such as the manufacture and repair of weapons, ammunition, and equipment. With the development of the Arsenal, the technology tree can also be gradually upgraded.
Most importantly, the existence of the Arsenal greatly reduces the speed of recruiting soldiers and improves the quality of soldiers, which is the biggest improvement for the current stage of the shelter.
