Chapter 276 Return for Inquiry
After discovering that there was such a large wave of corpses arriving, Lin Xinghai and others naturally did not dare to delay, so they rushed back immediately and reported the news as soon as possible.
However, what no one expected was that although the military received the news, it did not allow them to retreat or arrange other matters. They just asked them to continue to monitor the corpse tide.
"What does this order mean?" Zhuo Yongyuan frowned and said with some confusion.
Seeing that the number of zombies is about to reach 700,000, this is completely beyond the range that the military and the mercenary guild can deal with. Logically speaking, a retreat should be organized immediately.
Lin Xinghai also frowned, but he remained silent. He just stood on the top floor of the building and looked quietly into the distance.
Time continued to pass, and soon an hour passed. When it came to 1 noon, the number of zombies gathered in the west of the industrial park exceeded 1 million.
As the zombie tide increases, the zombies around here seem to be becoming more and more chaotic. Even without the command of the mutated zombies, it is estimated that a zombie tide will spontaneously form in a short time. .
At this time, Lin Xinghai and others did not even dare to go to investigate. If they were involved, it would be difficult for even them to survive.
Of course, the military's monitoring requirements for them have also been relaxed a lot. They can directly observe with optical equipment from a distance. As long as the zombie wave breaks out, the news should be reported as soon as possible.
"I'll go back and ask about the situation! Be careful and evacuate immediately if something goes wrong." Lin Xinghai sighed softly and said to Zhuo Yongyuan and the others.
He always feels uneasy if he doesn't understand it clearly.
"Yes!" Zhuo Yongyuan nodded and said: "You don't have to worry here. Now we are observing from a distance, which is safer than using zombie radar to detect before. In addition, if you know any information that does not need to be kept secret, , please tell us."
"Okay!" Lin Xinghai agreed, and then drove away in the rapid mecha.
Back along the road, he went straight through the entire industrial park and found that the number of zombies here had increased several times compared to when they came last night.
According to the current situation, even if the road is really opened before the zombie wave breaks out, it will be extremely difficult to collect Yuan Jing here in the industrial park.
Soon he passed through the industrial park and continued to rush back. He finally met the first team 10 minutes later.
This is a mixed team of military and mercenary groups.
Obviously, the military has taken over the command, and now the various mercenary brigades are just following orders.
What surprised Lin Xinghai was that the team did not open a road to the industrial park, but only cleared the zombies on both sides of the road while clearing the obstacles on the road.
All the collapsed buildings and cars on the road were piled aside, and some potholes were filled in as much as possible.
“What are you doing?” Lin Xinghai felt a little surprised.
However, after taking a look, he did not stay any longer, but continued to rush back.
At this time, there were not many zombies in the place he was on his way. The mercenary groups he encountered later were also doing similar work, but they had one more task, which was to build sentinel posts. and fortifications one by one.
Lin Xinghai observed with his senses. Although these sentinel points and fortifications were quite simple, they were built very densely. There was one sentinel point almost a hundred meters apart.
And the most important thing is that under these sentinel points, a two-meter-wide underground road was actually dug out by machinery, which can be used for reinforcement or retreat between various sentinel points.
“You are not really planning to fight with the zombie tide, are you!” Lin Xinghai observed the dense sentry points behind, a little confused, but also felt a sense of excitement.
Created by the military, this is not just a few defensive fronts at all, it is directly a huge defense network. At this moment, Lin Xinghai from the military department also had a feeling of admiration. He had learned from Zhuo Yongyuan that the staff assessment of their combat power was that they could withstand an army of 500,000 zombies. He was actually a little confused. And unbelievable.
Now that I see this scene in front of me, there is no longer any doubt.
If we fight such a positional battle, the 35,000 of them can really defeat the 500,000 zombie army by using such a defensive network to hold on.
But the problem is that the zombie army now exceeds one million, which has far exceeded expectations.
And more importantly, the purpose of their coming to Guanghan City is not to clear away the zombies.
There are endless zombies to kill. The most important thing is to plunder resources and improve the overall strength of the shelter.
So even if the military side really has a way to defeat this army of millions of corpses, if the people are killed, or even half of them are lost, the Star Shield Shelter will not be able to bear it.
After all, in the end of the world, population resources are the most important resource, not to mention that all the people here are mercenaries and soldiers with rich combat experience.
With doubts in his heart and a little expectation, Lin Xinghai continued to rush back.
Finally he found someone he could ask questions to, and that was Jin Canlan.
Lin Xinghai also did not expect that the top leader of the mercenary guild, who was originally based in the base camp, would also rush to the front line at this time.
And quite coincidentally, I am still here in the First Brigade.
"Don't ask, I don't know anything." Before Lin Xinghai got off the mecha, Jin Canlan spoke first.
Lin Xinghai was almost stunned by the other party, "How do you know what I want to ask?"
"What else can you ask if you come here now? I don't have any news ahead. I know something big must have happened, so the military stopped the order to move forward and asked us to establish these outposts."
"But the problem is, in addition to arranging coordination for our mercenary guild. Apart from the order to build fortifications, the military really didn’t reveal anything more. Oh, by the way, there is also an order to retreat at any time.”
“You just came down from there. , tell me what happened?" After speaking, Jin Canlan asked directly.
Lin Xinghai was also quite speechless. He looked at the other party's fat face and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, which meant that he really didn't know anything about it.
Lin Xinghai thought for a while, "Since the military department has not announced it, the information will remain confidential for the time being. Anyway, just be prepared to retreat at any time."
He also understood that if he Telling him about the million-corporate tide would probably directly cause panic. If the military really had any plans, he might even mess them up with just one word.
Jin Canlan felt even more uneasy after hearing this. He couldn't help but encourage: "You have an extraordinary status. You have a good relationship with the old man Wei Tianxing. Lin Zhengyang, the top leader in the army, also thinks highly of you. You Go and ask around! Maybe you can find out something."
"I don't have any other requests. I established the mercenary guild by myself. Even if there is a death mission, I don't want to be confused. ”
"Okay! Tell me the location." Lin Xinghai asked directly.
"3 kilometers behind, the temporary camp of the staff is over there."
