Wasteland Commander

 Chapter 189 Catastrophe! (Third update, 4000 monthly ticket added)

 The people of the Shenlong Army reacted quickly. After the first person was massacred by the mutant bird, they immediately launched a counterattack.

A shrill alarm sounded in the watchtower, and the troops responsible for staying behind quickly took action.

 But before they could reach the city wall, the sky above the Shenlong Army was already occupied by mutant birds.

More than 100,000 mutated birds were hovering in the sky. When they saw humans appearing, they immediately began to kill them.

 The people below were holding guns and firing into the sky.

People are constantly being killed by mutated birds. These birds are too ferocious after mutating.

Those larger ones, such as crows, magpies and kites, can directly scratch a person's skull.

 And those sparrows and swallows can easily peck out a person's eyes.

Often when a person falls to the ground, a group of mutant birds pounce on him, and within a minute, the person will turn into bones.

Of course, mutated birds are constantly being shot and killed by people, and their bodies fall to the ground.

 The Shenlong Army has a large number of people, with more than 200,000 people in the entire base.

Seeing that there were too many mutant birds, Jiang Shan, the leader of the Shenlong Army Base, immediately issued an order.

 Distribute weapons to ordinary people!

Although the Shenlong Army did not have that many firearms, they produced a lot of crossbows.

They don’t want the Dawn Army. A large number of bullets are refreshed every day. The most commonly used weapon at the beginning is the crossbow.

There are 70,000 to 80,000 crossbows in stock. All the young men in the Shenlong Army who can pick up crossbows are now participating in the battle!

 The sky was filled with crossbow arrows, which for a time suppressed the mutant bird's offensive.

 But accordingly, they also paid a huge price. In the first wave of attacks by the mutant birds, more than 30,000 people from the Shenlong Army died on the spot!

If there were only mutated birds, maybe the Shenlong Army could protect their base.

 But the mutant bird's surprise attack is just to buy time for the slower mutant beasts and zombies behind.

 When a large group of mutated beasts and zombies appeared under the city, the people of the Shenlong Army were almost desperate.

 There are too many!

 So many that it is immeasurable, so many that there is no end in sight.

When the zombies charged towards the Shenlong Army city like a tide, the most brutal attack and defense on the city wall began.

The people of the Shenlong Army quickly climbed onto the city wall, attacking the ground and the air, wildly pouring bullets from their guns.

 The main force of 15,000 people attacked Shuguang City, leaving the Shenlong Army's defense stretched thin.

 There are dangers and crises everywhere.

 Every moment someone is killed.

Those ordinary zombies are okay, you can kill one with one shot if you shoot them accurately.

 But those mutated zombies are too difficult to deal with.

The armor is charged with bullets. Even if you shoot it many times, it won't be hurt.

Only weapons such as heavy machine guns or rocket launchers can cause damage to armored zombies.

 But there is not only iron armor here, but also agility that is difficult to hit with fast firearms.

Every time one of these things breaks into the city wall, it will cause a lot of casualties to the Shenlong Army.

 The leader Jiang Shan personally led the team to the city wall.

 He also brought a large group of snipers, which were the elite forces of the Shenlong Army.

 "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Climb up the city wall to defend and kill those armored and agile ones with heavy clicks."

Hundreds of snipers scaled the city wall, and dull sniper rifles sounded, temporarily stabilizing the situation.

There are also flamethrower warriors from the Shenlong Army, who carry gasoline barrels and follow the snipers up the city wall.

 The appearance of these warriors finally allowed the Shenlong Army to breathe a sigh of relief.

The flames that fill the sky are sprayed out without reservation, which is a powerful weapon against flocks of mutated birds and ordinary zombies.

 Before ordinary zombies cannot climb the city wall, continuous fire can also kill them.

The dozens of flamethrowers in the Shenlong Army's inventory were all mounted on the city wall, suppressing the zombies' crazy attack momentum.

 But they did not get long respite.

 When a fat zombie that had not been sniped approached the city wall, it brought a disaster to the defenders.

 A fat man staggered to the city wall. An armored zombie grabbed it and threw it directly onto the city wall.

　　Intense firepower was launched, and the fat man was blown up in the air.

 The disaster started from this moment.

The sky full of corrosive liquid burst out from the body of the fat zombie and enveloped the hundreds of soldiers guarding the city wall.

Those corrosive liquids are as strong as strong sulfuric acid, and no one trapped in them can survive.

Amidst the miserable cries, people rolled and fell from the city wall, and their skin began to fester.

Even if they don't die, they have lost their combat effectiveness.

 Furthermore, the medical conditions here in the Shenlong Army are not as good as those in the Shuguang Army, so the fate of these people is very worrying.

Jiang Shan was bleeding with distress, gritted his teeth and asked the sniper to focus on killing the fat zombies.

 But when the mutated rats began to charge, Jiang Shan almost despaired.

Those mutant rats rushed to the city gates crazily, attacking the city walls ferociously with their fangs and claws.

Allowing the firepower to pour down crazily, the mutated rats were not afraid of death and charged at one point one after another. After paying a small price, they even dug a hole in the city wall!

At this time, the guns on the city wall could no longer hit them. After a while, rats got in under the city wall.

These wolf-dog-sized rats rushed out and immediately caused heavy casualties to the people around them.

The defenders who were caught off guard were immediately thrown to the ground by the rats, and many of them had their throats bitten on the spot.

Jiang Shan yelled: "Evolver, follow me and block this cave!"

The evolvers of the Dragon Army appeared on the stage. They rushed to the entrance of the cave and began to use their powerful abilities and their flesh and blood to fight these mutated rats.

As a second-level evolver, Jiang Shan had two long knives in his hands, and he was killing rats one after another.

The Shenlong Army’s machinery also went into battle, with forklifts pushing stones, cement and sand, and began to seal the hole with all their strength.

The mutant mice saw that the hole was blocked and immediately started digging holes from other directions.

The Shenlong Army's artillery fire also began to bombard outside the city, and fighting raged around the entire city wall.

 An evolver ran to Jiang Shan.

"Chief! This can't go on like this. It's only been an hour since the war started, and the number of our survivors and troops has already exceeded 50,000. And I see that there are even bigger zombies on the other side that haven't come back. If this continues, it might take a day. If we can’t hold on, we will all be annihilated.”

Jiang Shan's teeth felt cold and his body shivered uncontrollably.

 The base they have worked so hard for so long is about to end.

 Two days ago, he was in high spirits, looking forward to conquering Shuguang City, and their troop strength would become number one in Shenlong Province.

 But today his dream was shattered.

 The greatest enemy of mankind, the zombies, have finally revealed their fangs and claws.

The city defense that he thought was relatively solid was crumbling under the attack of the zombie army. It was obvious that he could not hold on for long.

Once the city is broken and zombies enter the city, all the more than 200,000 people will become the zombies' meals.

 Jiang Shan's face was livid and his lips were white.

 “Then you say... Is there anything else we can do?”

"Chief, the only way now is to organize most of the people in the city to retreat, and then leave some people to hold on to the city wall. I think these zombies are only attacking on one side and have not yet laid siege to the city. The remaining people hold on and buy time for the retreating people. , let them run out."

 “Run? Where to run?”

“The closest survivor base to us is the Dawn Army. Organize everyone to break out and run to the Dawn Army. As many as we can get out count.”

 Jiang Shan did not speak, and his men did not mention the people left behind. It was obvious that the people left behind were going to die.

 This is a cruel and difficult choice, but if you don't choose this way, I'm afraid there will be no chance at all.

“Then the Dawn Army is willing to take us in?”

“Chief, whether they are willing or not, this is our only chance. I believe everyone would rather die under human gunfire than become food for zombies.”

Jiang Shan looked up to the sky and sighed, with tears in his eyes.

 That’s it!

 The Shenlong Army has no choice. There is no other way.

“Okay, you should immediately organize the women, children, and the elderly to retreat in all vehicles.”

"And those young and middle-aged men, all stay and distribute weapons to them. There is no need to keep all the guns and bullets in the inventory. Those who have guns will use them, and those who don't have guns will use crossbows to fight these zombies!"

“What about you, chief? I think it’s better for you to retreat with the women and children, while I stay to guard the city.”

Jiang Shan shook his head: "No, if I run away, everyone's confidence in resisting will be gone. Who would be willing to stick to a city where all the leaders have run away? This matter is non-negotiable."

 “Chief~~~!”

"Stop talking, this matter has been settled. Without further ado, you take two thousand guards and lead the people to retreat immediately. You only need to bring some simple food. There is no time to bring other things. .”

Seeing that his subordinate was still hesitating, Jiang Shan took out his gun and pointed it at his head.

"Grandma! This is an order. If you still recognize me as the leader, get out of here! Don't let our sacrifice be worthless!"

 After speaking, Jiang Shan ran directly to the radio station and turned on the base radio.

"All men in the city, who can still take up arms, stay with me to fight. All the other women, children and old people will retreat and run towards Shuguang City. This is an order. Anyone who dares to harass Ba Suo will be killed without mercy." !”

 The Shenlong Army Base entered a state of chaos.

 When a woman cries and the child makes trouble, the wife cannot bear to part with her husband, and the mother cannot bear to bear with her son.

They faced the surprise attack of the mutated birds and quickly organized the people to board the vehicle and retreat.

 Nowadays, if the mother-in-law and mother-in-law love their children, no one will take pity on them.

 A **** retreat began.

Some people are constantly being knocked down by mutant birds, and the dead people will also attract a large number of mutant birds to eat, which also buys time for others.

 Fortunately, the direction of the attack of these zombies was from the mountains, not the direction of the road, so the convoy managed to get out of the city smoothly.

More than 140,000 survivors of the Shenlong Army Base began to retreat towards Dawn City.

And Jiang Shan led 60,000 young men to climb the city wall to resist the endless army of zombies.

 At the radio station, Jiang Shan finally said something to the radio.

"Ye Fan, I was wrong. I hope that we, all of us, are human beings and can take in our Shenlong Army members. This is my Jiang Shan's last request."
