Chapter 4684 The Unstoppable Catastrophe
Unconsciously, night fell again.
The area bordering the cemetery city and the cemetery has now been completely emptied. Regardless of whether the residents are willing or not, they have been forced to move out by the military.
This order cannot be resisted, otherwise the military will arrest you directly.
The residents who were injured or killed in the past two days were mainly concentrated in the area bordering Yin-Yang City. The losses in the inner city were not very large.
In order to avoid serious casualties again, the military could only implement a cleanup plan and build a light defense line.
A lot of manpower and material resources were used to lay wires and set up lamps, which were turned on as soon as night fell.
The light emitted is quite dazzling, extending from one end of the city to the other, as if it wants to drive away all the darkness.
There are also backup circuits and waste oil drums filled with burning materials to prepare for possible accidents.
The defensive soldiers all carry strong flashlights and laser pointers to drive away ghouls during battle.
In addition, various weapons were deployed throughout the defense line, with Molotov cocktails and flamethrowers serving as the main force.
Emergency airlifted incendiary bombs can also be dropped on the battlefield at any time.
This is a specially added combat readiness material based on the characteristics of ghouls. Last night's battle was enough to prove that strong light and flames are indeed effective.
Although they were well prepared, the soldiers still felt uncertain.
Once those strange gray fog surround the soldiers, the situation will become extremely dangerous.
Under the cover of gray fog, the searchlight couldn't shine far at all, and the visual distance was only less than half a meter.
In this environment, people are no different from blind people, and as they inhale the thick fog, they will also have various hallucinations.
The gray mist contains toxins. This has been confirmed. Gas masks are also included in the supplies distributed to soldiers.
But the real danger comes from the monsters in the gray fog.
Ghouls will use the cover of gray fog to suddenly launch attacks, which is really hard to guard against.
These are not conjectures, but scenes described with fear on the faces of soldiers who had narrowly escaped death.
The losses caused last night were all related to the strange gray fog, which made the soldiers fearful.
They wanted to evacuate, but unfortunately the superiors did not agree.
Tang Zhen’s reminder has been sent, but some people think that he is alarmist and think that the situation is definitely not that serious.
Some people even suspected that Tang Zhen had evil intentions and wanted to take the opportunity to achieve some ulterior and sinister purpose.
Because many people objected, the evacuation plan was not approved, and the defense mission will continue tonight.
The soldiers responsible for carrying out the mission were so angry that they cursed each other. In their view, this mission was tantamount to death.
If someone were not responsible for supervising the battle, they would patrol the defense line from time to time, and some soldiers would probably have taken the opportunity to escape.
But such an operation is impossible to calm the restless military morale. Once the battle begins, no one knows what will happen.
Time passes slowly, and the bright moon hangs high in the night sky.
But unknowingly, the moon became hazy, seeming to be obscured by fog and clouds.
Someone noticed this scene and subconsciously shined a searchlight into the sky, only to find that the cloud-covering fog was actually connected to the gray fog in the tomb area.
The blood-red moon looks extremely ominous, as if it is dripping blood.
A bad premonition arose in the hearts of the soldiers.
At this time, there were bursts of shrill roars from the direction of Yin City, which were the unique sounds of ghouls.
In this way, they announce the start of their hunting expedition.
The defending soldiers were startled and quickly picked up their weapons, staring ahead.
Those high and low tombstones were twisting in the dark mist, like terrifying demons and ghosts.
Soon the soldiers thought that the weapons in their hands were only moderately lethal, but the searchlights were more effective.
Feeling nervous, they subconsciously moved closer to the light, and at the same time turned on the flashlight and laser sight on the gun.
Originally, their weapons did not have so many tactical pendants. They were all temporarily issued to restrain the ghouls.
The soldiers are not very clear about the specific actual combat effect. Maybe it will be verified in actual combat later. Of course, if possible, the soldiers hope to never know the actual combat effects.
Soon the soldiers discovered that there were not only ghouls approaching the defense line, but also the most troublesome gray fog.
The mist is like turbulent waves, coming in one after another. The ferocious ghouls hide in it and poke their heads out from time to time.
"Shoot, shoot, shoot me!"
The officer in charge had no intention of putting the monster close before attacking. They did not lack ammunition, and it was far easier to kill the ghoul than to Difficult to imagine.
The only way to stop the charging ghoul is through a hail of bullets. This is purely a blind fight, regardless of whether it can hit the target.
The sound of gunfire suddenly sounded, as dense as a torrential downpour, shooting into the gray fog one after another.
The tombstones and graves next to each other were destroyed by the bombardment of artillery shells, and the masonry and remains and coffins were scattered everywhere.
No one knew how many ghouls were killed and injured in the attack, but the ammunition was poured out one after another.
The searchlights are staggered and swept across, making it easier for shooters to aim at the target, and at the same time, they can also block the approach of ghouls.
The ghoul has ways to stop it, but it is helpless when facing the gray fog. This thing is not afraid of gun attacks. The stronger the firepower, the faster it approaches.
In a short period of time, the gray fog has approached the defense line, leaving less than a hundred meters away.
The soldiers on the defense line immediately became panicked.
They have never been on the battlefield, but now they have to face extraordinary monsters. Needless to say, they are under great pressure.
The battle that took place two days ago has caused huge casualties. Although the senior officials deliberately concealed it, the news had already spread.
When they thought that they would be devoured by monsters tonight, the soldiers' psychological defenses collapsed instantly.
Ignoring the consequences, they turned around and fled the defense line. Even if they were tried by a military court afterwards, it would be better than losing their lives now.
Not to mention the chaos at the moment, no one knows what happened.
When they retreated, they discovered that the officers who were originally guarding the defense line had already evacuated.
Now far away, commanding the soldiers on the defense line to fight hard.
The evacuating soldiers were furious, but there was nothing they could do. It was reasonable for the officers to kill them, and it was rebellion for them to kill the officers.
I was secretly glad that I was able to evacuate decisively instead of foolishly hanging on the defense line and dying.
After three days of fighting, the soldiers have gradually realized that ordinary means cannot defeat the extraordinary.
Not long after they ran away, screams came from behind. The fleeing soldiers' hearts tightened, and some couldn't help but look back.
Then I was horrified to find that the originally bright and dazzling light defense line was swallowed up by gray fog in the blink of an eye.
As the fog became thicker and thicker, the light also became dim, and soon became faintly visible.
Darkness falls, along with the roar of death.
The defense line was like a luminous dragon, swept away by the violent and dark mudslide, and was eventually swallowed up by a ruthless strangulation.
From the gray mist came the roars of monsters, the screams of soldiers, and intermittent gunshots.
Listening to the rhythm of the firing, one could tell that the soldiers in the gray mist had fallen into despair and fear, and that was why they held down the trigger and refused to let go.
There were also some soldiers who managed to escape from the gray mist, but their bodies were covered with scars and their faces were full of uncontrollable horror.
They ran desperately and even dropped their weapons.
But before he could run far, he was knocked down by a ghoul that rushed out of the gray mist. The soldiers were torn into pieces like paper figures with their sharp claws waving.
Originally, a second line of defense was established behind the first line of defense to deal with unexpected situations.
Now this second line of defense has not played any role at all, and it collapsed in an instant.
The mines and various explosives laid on the road also failed to stop the monster's attack.
Monsters seem to be able to sense danger and avoid landmines and explosives. Even if they are affected by the explosion, they will stagger back to their feet.
The tenacious vitality shocked the observers.
As the defense line was breached, a large number of ghouls quickly rushed into the city. Tonight was destined to be another killing night.
