Chapter 285 Abandoning the Base
It was already night when Wang Tao returned to the military base.
This was Wang Tao’s first time flying in the dark. Fortunately, he was safe along the way and there were no accidents.
"Wang Tao! They actually sent people here..."
Ding Yuqin and others were very excited after seeing Wang Tao. Changhe Base City was actually willing to send people to rescue the survivors of Bauhinia Base. Who!
"I didn't expect it either, but this is a good thing. We will all go to the Bauhinia Base tomorrow!"
"What about the military base?"
Yang Changhong asked subconsciously.
"Here... we have no choice but to give up."
Looking at the huge military base, Wang Tao was a little reluctant to give up, but there was nothing he could do. The military base here is too close to the urban area of Wuyang City, and it may be trampled by giant zombies at any time. If they leave early now, they might be able to save the military base. After all, it is inhumane, and those powerful zombies may not Came over.
The military base also has some food, weapons and ammunition. These cannot be wasted.
The food was made into nutrient solution by Wang Tao, which makes it easy to carry. Weapons and ammunition were loaded onto the helicopter.
Everyone tidied up all night, and it wasn’t until the next morning that everything was ready.
The helicopter will definitely not be able to transport all these people and goods in one trip, so it will have to take two trips.
Wang Tao asked He Jijun to transport the goods first.
The first cargo delivery was easy, and the helicopter returned to the military base again.
Wang Tao used his authority to lock the entire military base. Maybe you can still use this place in the future, or maybe you won't need it anymore. But no matter what, it is good to preserve the military base.
After confirming that nothing was missing, Wang Tao took everyone on the plane.
Buzzing——
The helicopter took off, Wang Tao took one last look at the military base, and then took a deep breath.
"Let's go."
On the way, Wang Tao kept observing the movements of zombies on the ground.
Not all the zombies that ran out of Wuyang City went to Zijing City, they also went to other places. This is good news for Wang Tao.
But Wang Tao saw a giant zombie walking out of Wuyang City on the road! Although this giant zombie did not go towards Bauhinia City, Wang Tao could not guarantee whether other giant zombies would go to Bauhinia City... He could only take one step at a time and wait and see.
When we arrived at the Bauhinia base, it was already afternoon.
I don’t know if it’s because of the frequent use of helicopters today, but there are more zombies around the base. When the helicopter landed in the base, the zombies outside the base became more violent.
"What kind of medicine have these zombies taken..."
Wang Tao complained, and then Ding Yuqin and the others met with Lan Yulian and the others.
“Changhong!”
Lan Yulian and Yang Changhong hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and they hugged each other.
After seeing Yang Changhong and Wang Tao being relatively close, Lan Yulian looked at Wang Tao with a little resentment.
Although she had already guessed it, guessing it was one thing, seeing it with her own eyes was another thing.
Then Lan Yulian met Ding Yuqin, Han Rui, Li Qiuyu and others.
Wang Tao has already introduced several people to each other in advance, so they are also mentally prepared.
After the girls met, they had some secret rivalries, but they all knew that now was not the time to be jealous, so they all glared at Wang Tao with a tacit understanding. If they could survive this crisis, , I will find Wang Tao to settle the accounts slowly in the future!
"..."
Wang Tao simply pretended not to see it. He called on everyone to get all the weapons that had been delivered before.
"Put these heavy machine guns on the wall, which should be able to stop a lot of zombies. There are also some bombs, grenades and so on, share them... and then go kill the zombies!"
Since you are ready to defend to the death, you can't waste time.
“Yes!”
Everyone responded, and then moved their weapons and ammunition to the high wall.
There is a special shooting area on the high wall of the base, which is like a small house. It can block corrosive acid rain and prevent weapons and equipment from being corroded.
Da da da da—
After setting up the heavy machine gun, he immediately started shooting at the zombies outside!
The lethality of heavy machine guns is much higher than that of rifles and pistols. A swarm of crazy zombies was crushed in an instant!
Seeing this killing effect, before Lan Yulian and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw more crazy zombies swarming up!
“It’s impossible to kill all these zombies...”
“As long as we can suppress the zombie attacks for the time being, we don’t ask for too much.”
A few people After setting up all these heavy machine guns, Wang Tao looked at the tide of zombies, and three more third-level lord zombies appeared.
Wang Tao jumped down without saying a word and spent some time to deal with the three lord zombies.
After collecting the loot, Wang Tao used the iron tree vines to return to the high wall.
Without the lord zombie, the attacks of those crazy zombies became a little chaotic.
“Call me when a lord zombie appears.”
Leave the ordinary zombies to others. Wang Tao only needs to deal with the lord zombies. After all, his physical strength is limited. If it is wasted on ordinary zombies, Too much time is not worth the gain.
Wang Tao returned to the central area of the base.
"Wang Tao, I want to tell everyone about the reinforcements..."
Lan Yulian suddenly said to Wang Tao.
In the past two days, because zombies have begun to attack the Bauhinia base crazily, the survivors in the base have become a little panicked. She wanted to give the survivors some confidence, otherwise they would probably collapse.
"No problem. They must know this."
Wang Tao nodded.
"Then let's announce the news together? After all, this is what you fought for..."
Lan Yulian looked at Wang Tao with bright eyes.
If it weren’t for Wang Tao, they wouldn’t have had this opportunity. Although having the opportunity does not mean that you will definitely succeed, but without the opportunity, you will never succeed. Everyone should know what Wang Tao did.
"Okay."
Lan Yulian once again summoned the survivors of the entire base to the conference venue.
The survivors were all a little uneasy, wondering what the leader was going to do.
When everyone arrived, Lan Yulian looked at the group of survivors with sallow faces. She held a big loudspeaker and said:
"Everyone, I believe everyone knows us by now. The situation of the base has changed. We are now an isolated island in Zijing City, and there is a risk of being engulfed by the zombie wave at any time..."
Lan Yulian talked about the current situation. Although everyone already knew it, when the leader said it personally, it still made everyone panic.
Could it be that the base still can't stop the zombie tide, are they going to die in this zombie tide...
"But we can't give up. If we give up, then there will really be nothing. As long as we persist, there will be hope of living! And, I want to tell you some good news now -"
Good news?
Everyone was stunned for a moment. What good news can there be at this time? Could it be that their leader Lan Yulian has been promoted to the fourth level? But even level four can't solve the zombie tide outside, right?
"Before I tell you the good news, let me introduce it to you. This is..."
Lan Yulian pointed to Wang Tao beside her.
Before she could say anything, she heard someone shouting below:
"This is Mr. Wang Tao, we know each other!"
After this person finished speaking, others echoed him.
“Yes, we know each other!”
Although Wang Tao didn’t stay much at the Bauhinia Base, he had a lot of people who knew him, and his reputation was also very good.
The reason is simple. When he was in Zijing City, he saved many people from the Municipal Sports Center. After these people came back, they all knew and knew Wang Tao.
In addition, those who came from Duzhu Town also followed Wang Tao's advice and came to the Bauhinia Base. Although they had a hard time along the way and some people died. But there are still many people who successfully came to the Bauhinia Base, and these people have Wang Tao to thank.
Of course, another point is that there are rumors in the base that Wang Tao is their leader's man! Although the leader did not admit it directly, he did not go out of his way to clarify it.
So Wang Tao is not a nobody here, he has long been famous.
Lan Yulian was very happy to see that all the survivors knew Wang Tao. So he continued:
"Very good. Since we all know each other, I don't have to waste my time. Mr. Wang Tao has previously contacted a large survivor base in other provinces..."
Wow——
Lan As soon as Yulian said these words, the survivors below immediately started talking in low voices.
Some people are curious and some are excited.
Under this terrifying zombie tide, there are other survivor bases!
So can they help each other?
Or is it possible for them to go to other bases? After all, their base has been surrounded by thousands of zombies. In this case, the base will fall sooner or later...
Lan Yulian gave them a while to discuss, and waited until their discussion became quieter. Finally, she continued to speak:
"That is a large survivor base organized by the government, called Changhe Base City, located in Xizhou Province. There are hundreds of thousands of survivors there, and a large number of The most important thing is that there are few zombies and no zombies there!”
These simple words made everyone look forward to it.
But after hearing that this base was actually in Xizhou Province, everyone felt that their hopes were instantly dashed.
Xizhou Province is one thousand kilometers away from Wuyang Province!
In this situation where corpses are everywhere, they may not be able to walk not to mention a thousand kilometers, even a hundred kilometers, or even ten kilometers!
A thousand kilometers, this is no different from letting them die directly. Although there is a helicopter currently parked in the base, it should belong to Mr. Wang Tao, but how many people can a helicopter carry? There are more than 20,000 of them now...
Looking at the people who were starting to look desperate again, Lan Yulian immediately said:
"After some discussions between Mr. Wang Tao and the other party, Changhe Base City decided to send people to rescue us!"
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe their ears.
“Rescue us?”
"Coming from a place thousands of miles away?"
"It must have been more than two thousand kilometers back and forth! How could they..."
The survivors couldn't believe it. Someone will really come to save them. After all, they have seen too much darkness in the apocalypse, and they are not used to seeing the light all of a sudden.
"You heard me right, they are here to rescue us! I can guarantee that!"
After receiving Lan Yulian's affirmation, the survivors slowly started to make a noise.
"Oh my God!"
"Really come all the way to rescue us?"
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"Then shall we just Can we be saved?”
“Since they dare to rescue us, it means they must be very strong, and we may really be saved!”
"..."
Looking at everyone whispering to each other, Lan Yulian coughed and attracted everyone's attention.
“So, we just need to hold on now. It will probably take a few days before reinforcements arrive! As long as we can hold on for a few days, we can all survive!”
Lan Yulian said loudly.
After hearing this, the survivors’ frightened and numb eyes became brighter.
"Next, everyone should do their job well and be ready to fight at any time. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to survive this crisis!"
"Yes!"< br>
When they arrived, these survivors were basically wilted. But when they left, their spirits were much lifted.
After all, persistence without hope and persistence with hope are completely different things.
After everyone left, Lan Yulian looked at Wang Tao.
"Tell me, can they come over in two days..."
Lan Yulian just said very confidently, but in fact she was very worried. It's just that she is the leader, and if she doesn't show confidence, others won't be able to trust her.
“I don’t know, I just hope they have a smooth journey and don’t encounter any big dangers...”
Wang Tao sighed.
It’s hard for him to say such things, but it’s always good to have hope.
"I went out to kill zombies to improve Lightning's strength."
After Lightning was promoted to the second level, he never had time to increase his health bar. Now that we plan to defend the Bauhinia base, we naturally have to let Lightning improve.
"Well, be more careful!"
Wang Tao walked around the wall and found a place with relatively few zombies. Then he jumped down holding Lightning in his arms.
Lightning now only has more than 5,000 HP, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
The zombies outside the base range from the first to the third level. Most of them are ordinary zombies. Occasionally there are some elite zombies, but no lord zombies are seen.
Wang Tao asked Lightning to follow him closely, and then he took out the mutated explosion-proof baton.
His attack power is too high. If he uses a long fang knife or a shock wave, he may kill these zombies directly.
But if a baton is used, many of the zombies who are electrocuted can still survive as long as they are not afraid of electricity.
Wang Tao found the right opportunity and swung his stick at a zombie.
Zizzi——
The arc flashed, and the zombie attacked by Wang Tao had its head smashed and died instantly.
At the same time, the arc of electricity spread from this zombie to other zombies, and all the zombies were frozen by the electricity! These zombies who were electrocuted were not dead, but they still had residual blood.
Wang Tao immediately commanded Lightning to rush over and bite the zombies who were not dead.
Every time a zombie is killed, Lightning's health bar will increase a lot.
After all, it was only level 2, and the zombies Wang Tao left behind were all level 3 zombies. For Lightning, it was a leapfrog kill, and the HP gained was tripled.
It didn't take long for Lightning's blood volume to reach 29999.
“Let’s go back!”
Wang Tao picked up Lightning, wrapped the iron tree vines around the protrusions on the high wall, and returned to the wall like a spider.
Then Wang Tao found Lan Yulian and took out some of the meat of the fourth-level wild boar monster that he had left behind.
"Eat!"
Wang Tao doesn't know if Lightning can advance to the next level if he eats all this meat, but after all, Lightning is only at the second level, and the wild boar monster is at the fourth level. Even if he can't advance, let Lightning eat more meat. It should be good too. After all, after eating the meat of these monsters, some basic attributes will be slightly increased.
"Woof woof!"
Lightning barked, and then began to feast.
Compared with last time, Lightning ate a lot more this time, but there was no change. Just when Wang Tao thought it might not work, Lightning suddenly stopped eating and ran directly to Wang Tao's feet. , and lay down on Wang Tao's feet.
"Huh? It's really good!"
Wang Tao was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
It seems that the flesh of these fourth-level monsters is more effective against lightning than their humans!
And Wang Tao feels that, to a certain extent, lightning is also a type of monster. After all, it also mutated from animals.
It’s just that lightning doesn’t have special powers, and it can’t fuse the crystal core. It's not the same as the monsters Wang Tao has seen, but it's similar to Jiang Shixue...
In any case, it is a good thing that Lightning has been promoted. After it reaches the third level, it can fight side by side with Wang Tao. Now its strength and HP are too low, so taking it out to fight is just a small burden.
......
The addition of Wang Tao and his team greatly reduced the pressure on the Bauhinia Base.
After all, he brought all the thermal weapons from the military base. Thermal weapons are still easy to use against zombies below level four.
“It feels like the zombie attack has slowed down a lot...”
On the wall, Lu Yingfeng put down the telescope and said to Yang Changhong beside her.
"Indeed. I guess these zombies can't keep attacking endlessly. They should also take a rest... It's already dark. Let's go down and eat something. We can't fight until we're full. .”
“Yeah.”
A few people walked down the high wall.
Lu Yingfeng told Wang Tao about the changes in the zombies.
Wang Tao nodded and said:
"It seems that you can take a break, but you can't relax. After all, zombies are more active at night. If you have any questions, call me at any time."
"Okay! ”
After dinner, everyone began to change shifts.
Although the zombie attacks outside the base have slowed down, they have not stopped. There is definitely no way to calm down tonight.
Wang Tao started to rest directly.
He is the highest combat power in the base and needs to be always prepared for unexpected situations. When nothing happens, you have to take a good rest and recharge your batteries.
Evening.
Ding Yuqin whispered to wake up Wang Tao.
"Wang Tao, there are suspected fourth-level zombies in the zombie wave!"
Wang Tao opened his eyes.
"The fourth-level zombies...are finally here!"
A zombie attack of this scale cannot only have third-level zombies but not fourth-level zombies.
It turned out to be because I wanted to wait for the attack at night!
“I’ll go take a look!”
