Apocalyptic Hero System

Zombies are like an army, with a strict division of labor and strict discipline. They are equipped with armor, weapons, and siege engines. Li Yuanhong has never seen such a group of zombies. However, there is now such a troop appearing in Lanzhou. Outside the stronghold of survivors established by the army.

Lanzhou is located in a mountainous area, and the Yellow River flows through the middle of the city. In ancient times, it was an important town and transportation artery in the northwest. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was the command center of the Northwest Military Region, so there were heavy troops stationed here.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, due to the many mountains here, many people escaped from the city and entered the mountains to escape the early zombie attacks. Coupled with the timely establishment of a rescue base by the army, many survivors survived, at least more than one million.

However, in the later period, due to the severance of transportation across the country and the consumption of materials in the Lanzhou mountainous area, the army's food reserves gradually decreased. Therefore, many people were forced to go out to find new food. By this time, the strength of zombies and mutant beasts had increased, and many people died among the zombies and mutant beasts. Under the mouth.

There are at least more than 500,000 people in the army base and the scattered bases around it, but none of them can fight against the zombies. At most, they can barely protect themselves.

Now, outside the wall of the army base, there are nearly half a million zombies surrounding the city, constantly throwing stones into the city. Many soldiers guarding the city wall were killed by flying boulders.

That's right, this time the zombies used a siege machine, a trebuchet. If the city wall hadn't been built to a height of more than 20 meters, the zombies would have climbed up the city using ladders to attack the city.

Commander Ma, we can't defend like this. Why don't we agree to the other party's request and surrender?

At this time, two officers stood on the city and started talking. One of them was persuading the other officer. That officer was the supreme commander of this base, the commander of the infantry regiment of the Yuanhuaxia Northwest Military Region, Ma Fangyu.

Ma Fangyu has heavy eyebrows, a square face, big eyes, a big nose and a big mouth. He has a tough temperament at first glance.

At this time, Ma Fangyu's brows tightened and he did not answer the officer next to him.

The officer next to him was white and fat. He was not from Commander Ma's camp, but Commander Zhang from another camp. That camp was set up by a logistics division. It used to be a spare warehouse with supplies. There were more supplies than Ma Fangyu, so the soldiers in that base lived very well with the abundant supplies. In the later period, they took in survivors, mainly young people and women. As for why, of course they wanted to find wives for the soldiers, and also Not one. Of course, in these last days, as long as you can have enough to eat, you don’t care who you marry.

As for Ma Fangyu's base, in order to feed more survivors, Ma Fangyu asked the troops to go out frequently to search for supplies. This caused Ma Fangyu's army to lose strength quickly. However, because Ma Fangyu's troops dared to fight, they killed the most zombies. Later, when the country announced the secret of the crystal core, Ma Fangyu's troops had the largest number of evolvers and became the strongest gathering place in this mountainous area.

But just two days ago, a messenger came to Ma Fangyu's camp. This messenger claimed to be from the Western Empire. He claimed that the Western Empire had reached a reconciliation with the zombies. As long as they joined the Western Empire, humans would no longer be attacked by zombies. Human beings can live a pre-apocalyptic life by completing some trivial requirements of the zombie army every year.

In this regard, Ma Fangyu was very suspicious of the purpose of the messenger and rejected the other party's request. How could humans live in peace with zombies? Isn't this a lie?

The envoy was rejected by Ma Fangyu. Before leaving, he said to Ma Fangyu with a sinister smile: Commander Ma, I advise you to agree to this condition, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life. Now the empire is short of people. You go over there. , with the strength of your army, you will definitely be able to hold important positions, otherwise, your gathering will face disaster!

Of course, Ma Fangyu would not be intimidated by this nonsense, so he angrily said to the messenger: If you don't shut up, I will kill you!

After hearing Ma Fangyu's words, the man immediately snorted and walked away, but his eyes showed a fierce light of resentment.

Who is Ma Fangyu? Knowing that this kind of person is a villain who holds a grudge and will inevitably take revenge, he ordered people to strengthen their defenses and conduct strict checks on people entering and exiting, especially strangers, who are not allowed to enter.

However, this morning, Commander Zhang, who was not far from me, came to visit. Although Commander Zhang was not good at leading troops, he was good at making money and running businesses. The two usually have some friendship, and they have a pretty good relationship.

After the two sat down, Ma Fangyu was an outspoken person, so he asked directly: Brother Zhang, why are you free to come here today?

Haha, it's nothing big. It's just that someone came to me recently and wanted to make a big deal, so I came over to see Commander Ma to discuss it and see if I can do it. Master Zhang said.

Oh? What kind of business can Brother Zhang think is a big business? Could it be that he discovered another secret storage warehouse?

Warehouse? No, no, no. No matter how big the warehouse is, sooner or later it will run out of food. If there is a ten thousand acres of fertile land and we can farm it freely, are you still worried about not having food to eat?

Haha, Brother Zhang is very good at fantasizing. We are in a mountainous area. Let alone ten thousand acres of fertile land, it is difficult for me to find even a hundred acres of good mountainous fertile land. Let's just talk about my base. I can only maintain this cultivated land. Less than fifty acres, with such a small amount of cultivated land, each acre can only produce about two hundred kilograms of grain, which is not enough to feed a company for a year. Commander Ma said with a wry smile.

What if I say there are 10,000 acres of fertile land? Mr. Zhang said with certainty.

Oh? Where?

At this time, Mr. Zhang took out a map and spread it on the table. Then Mr. Zhang pointed at the map and said: Look, this area has enough fertile land to feed tens of millions of people, and it can also be planted. Cotton, then we will be able to have enough food and clothing.”

Ma Fangyu looked at the map. This was a map of Huaxia Xinjiang Province and Afghanistan, but now it was replaced by a new name: the Western Region Empire.

After looking at this map, Ma Fangyu immediately understood that this was Master Zhang coming to lobby him to surrender to the so-called Western Empire.

Ma Fangyu's face immediately darkened: Brother Zhang, what do you mean?!

Brother Ma, it's not obvious yet. There are fertile fields reclaimed by farmers here, covering an area of ​​more than 10,000 acres. We can still feed the remaining 500,000 people here, even if they are doubled. Moreover, human beings have already been established there. In a country that coexists with zombies, humans don’t have to worry about being killed by zombies at will. As long as the humans there abide by the law, they can live a free life. And if we defect there, we can also get a title! Master Zhang said with excitement.

Ma Fangyu's face was almost sprayed with Teacher Zhang's saliva, and Ma Fangyu's face became even darker.

Brother Zhang, do you believe this?

Hahaha, of course I don't believe it, but I have sent people to take a look. Although the common people's life is not as good as they said, the nobles live very well. They have good clothes and good food, and they can humble their slaves. We went there We can enjoy such treatment, of course, as long as we firmly control our army! Commander Zhang said with a contented expression.

Brother Zhang, have you forgotten the responsibilities of a soldier? It is impossible for humans to coexist with zombies, unless humans are turned into pig-like food and raised in captivity, waiting for the zombies to come and eat at any time!

What's the matter? The people being held in captivity are civilians who have no ability. We are not in this category at all! Teacher Zhang said without hesitation.

You... Ma Fangyu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Besides, the Western Region Empire is now huge, and their zombie army has reached tens of millions. This is simply not something we can resist. By the way, they are a zombie army, not those scattered untrained zombies wandering in the city. . Teacher Zhang showed a sinister smile on his face.

Just when Ma Fangyu was about to say something else, a soldier ran in in panic: Report to the commander, a large group of zombies were found outside our city wall!

What am I talking about? Well, the vanguard of the Western Region Empire is here. I think Commander Ma had better make plans in advance. Commander Zhang next to him said calmly.

Hmph! Ma Fangyu snorted coldly, ignored Master Zhang, and walked quickly outside with the guards, heading straight for the city wall.

When Ma Fangyu came to the city wall, what he saw was an army of more than half a million zombies. This zombie army covered the ravine outside the wall. The number was not the biggest problem. The problem was that this zombie army was more like A well-trained army, not stragglers.

In front of the zombie army are ordinary zombies holding shields and wearing armor, followed closely by long-tongued zombies and shadow zombies wearing soft armor, and behind them are fat zombies wearing heavy armor. Some of these fat zombies have weapons in their hands. Some carried chain hammers, some carried javelins, and some carried baskets on their backs without knowing what was in them.

And nearly one kilometer away from the city wall, there are actually several machines that look like ancient trebuchets. However, the ancient trebuchets only had a shooting range of five to six hundred meters. What is this machine set up one kilometer away? ?

When Ma Fangyu saw such a tight zombie army, if it was just the end of the world, Ma Fangyu would not hesitate to order the artillery to fire and bomb those suspicious machines, but now all the artillery shells have been consumed.

Not to mention artillery shells, there are not many bullets left for daily use. Most of the weapons are cold weapons. Many soldiers hold swords, spears, bows, arrows and javelins in their hands. Many soldiers even wear sportswear or ordinary civilian uniforms instead of military uniforms, because many people here are simply ordinary people. Many of those elite soldiers have died in battle. Now they can only shoulder the important task of defending their homeland. .

Looking at the group of zombies, Ma Fangyu frowned. If it were a group of ordinary zombies, Ma Fangyu would still have hope to defend this gathering place with the fifty-meter-high city wall, but now, he dare not say anything.

At this time, Commander Zhang walked over slowly: What's up, Commander Ma, it's time to make a decision now!

Ma Fangyu did not answer. He knew that if he agreed to the other party's request, he might survive and live well.

But then, the people he protects will live like slaves, or even worse than slaves.

This is not what Ma Fangyu wants. This is not the choice of a soldier. Even if a soldier dies in battle, he must face the enemy and let his back be the shield of his family.

I'm sorry, Brother Zhang, I think my military duty cannot allow me to give up those soldiers who are still fighting, so I will continue to fight! Ma Fangyu chose to fight.

You can't defeat these zombies, you're going to die in vain, you know! Mr. Zhang still persuaded with all his sincerity.

However, Ma Fangyu no longer listened to Mr. Zhang's verbosity.

At this time, the communications soldier ran over with an excited expression on his face: Report to the commander, we have received a message!

What information? Ma Fangyu asked casually. His attention was now entirely on the zombies who were still lining up.

Report to Commander, a human army has defeated the zombies in Xi'an City and is broadcasting to the outside world!

What? Someone defeated the zombies in Xi'an City?! Ma Fangyu finally felt that he was saved. Maybe reinforcements could be sent over there, so that he could survive the desperate situation.

Hurry up and find a way to contact them and inform them of our plight. Maybe they will send reinforcements! Ma Fangyu ordered excitedly.

Yes, Commander! The communications soldier also ran down quickly.
