Chapter 247 Change of formation
After hearing the report from the messenger, both the sentinel officer Yang Jiansheng and the adjutant Li Quan’s expressions changed instantly.
Every time a mutated zombie comes, their pressure will increase dramatically, but if that is all, their expressions will not change drastically.
You must know that mutant zombies are also different. With the threat of individual missiles, they are enough to make the vast majority of mutant zombies dare not approach.
But some mutant zombies can bring bad news to them, and the "Spitter" is one of them.
The "Spitter" itself is not very powerful, and even if it appears alone, it will not pose any threat to the sentry point at all.
But if it appears together with other mutated zombies, the nature will be completely different.
The opponent's venom can make the other zombies enter a violent state, and this effect, which is equivalent to a buff, is even more vivid in an environment like a zombie tide.
Faced with such a critical situation, Yang Jiansheng did not dare to show any signs of neglect and immediately led others to the observation platform high above the sentry point.
At this time, the "spitter" happened to merge with the other three mutant zombies, and began to attack the sentry point.
Of course, due to the threat of individual missiles, these mutated zombies themselves did not dare to approach, but there was no need to do so.
I saw the "blood worm" open its mouth and spit out large balls of red mucus. There were densely packed bloody beetles in the mucus.
At the same time, the "Spitter" also began to spray green venom on these bloody beetles, quickly making them enter a violent state.
And this is not over yet, low roars came from the mouth of the "spitter", and soon high-level zombies gathered over, and then they were infected with the venom, and they all entered a violent state.
Soon, hundreds of high-level zombies that entered a violent state, and tens of thousands of bloody beetles, rushed towards Sentinel Point 32.
Yang Jiansheng's face turned green when he saw this scene. One moment, he felt that this crisis should be able to be passed safely, but the next moment, he was in danger of destruction.
"Immediately send the situation here to the rest of the assistance teams to see if they have any good ideas. In addition, prepare a large number of incendiary bombs, howitzers, and...inferno bombs."
After the purgatory bomb is launched, it will split into countless small shells and carry out an indiscriminate covering attack on the target area.
It is undoubtedly the most suitable to deal with the current situation, but they do not have many such good things.
And this kind of large-scale destructive weapon is one of the few things that can threaten the "hunters". Under normal circumstances, Yang Jiansheng would never be willing to use it.
But nowadays, they can no longer care so much about life and death, and what's worse is that even if they use all these trump cards, they are not sure how long they can last.
......
On the other side, Lin Xinghai also quickly learned the message from Wu Yan.
“I didn’t expect that I guessed it right.” Lin Xinghai sighed lightly.
Before, he could clearly attract the attention of the corpse tide from the outside, so why did he deliberately choose to go deep?
Because they are afraid of this situation happening now.
After all, the scale of the zombie tide is easy to estimate, but whether there will be mutant zombies coming, and what type of mutant zombies they will come, really depends on luck.
Now one of the worst situations has indeed happened. A "Spitter" appears here, and the effect it plays is even more terrifying than a "Death Claw".
Fortunately, due to previous concerns in this regard, the team was allowed to take action in advance.
Now that they are close to the core circle of the zombie tide, as long as they can push all the way, they can still catch up with the rescue in time. Lin Xinghai was thinking about this, and his eyes were already focused on the intersection a hundred meters away.
They will leave the main road there and enter a branch road that is not too wide, and their formation will also change.
It can also be said that this is the most dangerous situation since they entered the zombie wave.
Not only Lin Xinghai knew this, but the other mercenary captains also knew that the closer they got to the intersection, the more nervous everyone became.
But the team continued to advance, and the distance of a hundred meters was quickly reached because there was no need to collect Yuanjing.
Under Lin Xinghai's order, the team began to change formations.
In order to adapt to the width of the branch road, the two sides of the circular defensive array are tightened and eventually become an oval.
All the mercenary captains were staring at their teams nervously and giving orders one by one.
But what is different from usual is that when they give orders, they also constantly emphasize, slow down and steady.
As long as the formation can be changed smoothly, even if it is two or three times slower than usual, there will be no problem.
In fact, not to mention these mercenary captains, even these ordinary mercenaries understand that this is a critical moment, and they are cautious and do not dare to relax at all.
But some things can’t be avoided just because you don’t want them to happen.
At the critical moment when the formation was changing, more than 30 high-level zombies suddenly appeared among the zombies on the right side of the team.
If it were normal, even if such a large wave of high-level zombies rushed over to attack, they would be able to withstand it. However, at this time, each mercenary group was adjusting their positions, and now they were a little confused. .
One of the mercenary groups did not cooperate well with the mercenary group next to it. Under the impact of this wave of high-level zombies, a short gap appeared in the formation.
Such a gap is usually nothing at all and can be adjusted quickly.
But at this time they were in the midst of a zombie wave. As soon as the gap opened, zombies began to pour in immediately.
If it cannot be contained in time, this gap will cause problems in subsequent formation changes. The gap here will become larger and larger, eventually leading to the collapse of the entire formation.
When the mercenary leader here saw this scene, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately controlled the mecha to rush over and kill the zombies that rushed in.
However, the genetic optimization of this captain is less than 90%, and even the performance of the mecha cannot be fully exerted. In addition, within the defensive formation, the range of killing weapons is afraid. Accidental injury cannot be used. Even if his mecha rushes over, it will not be able to block the gap for a while.
The changes here can be said to be sudden, and the expressions of other group leaders changed drastically when they saw it.
Some immediately controlled the mechas to help, but most of them stayed where they were.
Because this kind of blind assistance can easily lead to focusing on one thing and not the other. If problems arise again when they leave, it will only be worse.
In their view, in such a situation, there must be an absolute core to coordinate everyone's management in order to survive this crisis.
And this person is undoubtedly Lin Xinghai. At this moment, everyone is waiting for the other party to give orders.
