Apocalypse Awakening

Chapter 70 The corpse tide is coming
It is impossible to enter the inner city nowadays. The gates of the major cities are heavily guarded. If you want to enter, you must have a pass.

Anyway, before the tide of corpses came, Ning Qiu simply refined the high-level corpse core.

In addition to the corpse core he obtained in the college assessment, after all refining, it is estimated that he is not far from the intermediate awakener.

Red clouds began to appear on the eastern horizon. At this time, the sky was already getting brighter, but an endless hum could be faintly heard in the air.

On the city wall, a sentry was standing guard with a telescope. Suddenly, his body trembled, his legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Corpse...the tide of corpses, the tide of corpses is coming again!"

"How many?" An officer standing beside him changed his face and asked immediately.

"No... can't be confirmed, it's dark." The sentinel's voice trembled.

"How is it possible? If it's a huge wave of corpses, why didn't our reconnaissance plane find it?" the officer shouted.

"Sir...sir, in fact, none of the reconnaissance planes sent out last night have returned yet."

The officer snatched the binoculars away, and then his face grew paler and paler.

"Go, go to the bell tower and sound the red alert." The officer said weakly.

Every city has an early warning clock tower, and the early warning levels are generally divided into: blue, yellow, orange, and red.

But after a while, the red warning light on the top of the clock tower was lit, and the light illuminated the sky in a straight line, spinning on the top of the clock tower.

"Woo... woo... woo!"

The alarm was as loud as thunder, reverberating throughout the city, and it affected everyone's heart.

"Red... red alert?"

"how is this possible?"

"I haven't seen a red alert for more than ten years!"

The red warning sounded, which indicated that a devastating disaster was about to arrive.

In the first three hours, the bell tower's yellow warning had just ended, and the warning sounded again, and it was still a red warning.

……

Ning Qiu stepped out of the tent, looked at the red light in the sky, and frowned.

"Couldn't it be the wrong alarm?" Yang Baizhang said.

At this time, a dilapidated armored vehicle came in front of them, and Zhang Jinlong jumped out of the passenger cab.

"All the trainees will follow me into the car."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. From the moment the red warning sounded, they felt something was wrong.

At this time, Zhang Jinlong hurried over, which meant that the tide of corpses was really coming.

"Red warning? This is not a trial, it is clearly here to die." Jiang Zijun said.

But complaints are complaints, and they have no choice at this time.

The red warning sounded, which indicated that there were at least tens of thousands of zombies attacking the city. Even if they stayed here, they would still be forced to fight.

There are a total of 20 people in the two colleges, and the small size of the armored vehicle makes the space inside very crowded.

Armed combat vehicles are simply not enough now, and this armored vehicle was requisitioned from private hands.

"Leader Zhang, where am I going?"

Leader Zhang's eyes were bloodshot. He had just finished his work and was about to take a rest. Unexpectedly, he heard a red warning sound after sleeping for less than an hour.

"Kill the zombies." Leader Zhang didn't explain much.

The zombies attacking the city did not come in formation like a well-trained army, but gathered from all directions towards Shaoguan City little by little. When the corpses approached the city, it was a dense mass of darkness.

At this time, Zhang Jinlong led the crowd to a small town that had been abandoned for an unknown number of years. It used to be a military fortress, a stronghold against zombies. After a certain wave of zombies, it was completely abandoned by Shaoguan City.

The terrain here is narrow and long, most of the houses have collapsed, and only one main road remains, which is just right for killing zombies.

Everyone walked very carefully, stepping on something dark, which should be the corpses of humans and zombies after the battle many years ago, covering the ground like snow.

"There are guns and ammunition in the car. Look for cover by yourself. The wave of zombies will arrive in a short time. Try to stop this wave of zombies, otherwise the city of Shaoguan will be ruined." Team leader Zhang didn't talk too much nonsense, nor did he say anything encouraging Morale, because time is tight.

Guns and ammunition are to save their soul power. After all, the tide of corpses is not as simple as thousands or hundreds of zombies. They are just elementary awakened people with limited soul power. Before encountering advanced zombies, it is best not to use abilities at will .

The abandoned town looks particularly messy, with collapsed houses everywhere, which can be a good cover for them to fight.

"Before the battle, I have something to say to everyone." Zhang Jinlong looked at the twenty young students in front of him, without any expression on his face.

"This trial is not just a test for you, it is also a battle to hone your mind, so that you can understand, what is the true meaning of our existence as awakened ones? Therefore, I hope that everyone can - survive!"

In fact, the Awakened Alliance did not expect that there would be a wave of corpses at the red warning level in Shaoguan City, because several waves of corpses had been wiped out as early as a few days ago.Both the military and the Awakened Alliance thought that the tide of corpses was almost over, but who would have thought that behind the waves of small corpses, a large tide of corpses was brewing.

The tide of corpses this time is hard to see in ten years, and I am afraid it can be compared with the Hengcheng disaster a year ago.

"Brother Qiu, there is a tall building ahead. The terrain there is good, so let's go there." Mo Yi didn't rush to get a gun, but went to inspect the terrain first.

"Find someone with a lower position." Ning Qiu said suddenly.

"Why?" Mo Yi was puzzled.

When they were studying in the academy, they had learned the basic common sense of fighting zombies. To fight zombies, the higher the terrain, the better, especially when there are guns.

"Are you afraid of crawling corpses?" Yang Baizhang said.

Reptiles are low-level advanced zombies. Their nails are hard and slender, and they can easily crawl on walls.

This kind of zombie is similar to the Swift Zombie, but it doesn't have the speed and explosive power of the Swift Zombie.

"No, I'm worried that there will be dead birds and beasts." Ning Qiu said.

"how is this possible?"

After being infected and mutated, many dead beasts retain their original habits. The dead birds like to inhabit green areas, and when all safe city bases are built, they will burn down the forests with a radius of hundreds of miles, just to prevent the dead beasts from flying. nest.

Ning Qiu couldn't be sure, but he suddenly remembered the scene of the Hengcheng disaster. When the tide of corpses invaded the city, he did see a lot of dead birds and beasts.

The danger factor of dead birds is definitely lower than that of zombies, because human beings can't fly, even if they send fighter jets, it is difficult to destroy large groups of dead birds.

Ning Qiu originally wanted to find an underground parking lot, but after looking at the collapsed ruins around him, he gave up on this idea.

So, they found a building that looked more stable. After loading the ammunition, they quietly waited for the wave of corpses to arrive.

The terrain of this ruined town is good. There is only one road that can be passed through, and the rest of the place has collapsed. Perhaps this was deliberately done by someone before, just to facilitate the interception of zombies in the future.

The trainees were divided into four teams, in groups of five, while Zhang Jinlong suppressed landmines on the road.

Apart from their stronghold, there are many other strongholds in the south of Shaoguan City. At this time, there is not enough manpower, otherwise students like them would not be allowed to guard one of the strongholds.

Ning Qiu looked at the ammunition box next to him. Although there were a lot of them, he felt that it was absolutely impossible to eliminate the zombies with these ammunition.

Time passed by little by little, only to hear the humming sound in the air getting closer and closer, which made people feel depressed.

The wave of corpses struck, and even the ground trembled faintly...

"coming!"
