End of the World

The shelter is preparing to deploy new troops to the east, that is, a newly formed regiment. Although it is newly formed, the new regiment seems to be worse than the original one, and the physical fitness of the recruits is even lower. This is the result of eating distributed food for a long time.

Looking at his soldiers, the commander of the new regiment was in a bad mood. Such a force was not worthy of being used. They didn't even have any training for new recruits. They were just sickly people who picked up guns without any spirit. How could the commander have confidence in himself?

Fortunately, they are only on the east wall now. Although there are tens of thousands of zombies outside, they cannot threaten the troops on the wall. So let the new troops come over to practice first.

When the new troops arrived at the city wall, the garrison battalions were immediately rotated and transferred to other places. So in addition to the four new regiments on the east city wall, there was another transferred company. They should have come to supervise the battle.

It was the first night for the new regiment to guard the city wall, and the commander arranged the duty roster so there should be no problems that night.

As midnight approached, the snoring sounds on the city wall became continuous. The sentinels became drowsy, their eyelids drooping, and they looked like they were about to fall down.

From time to time, shining flares streaked across the sky, illuminating a section of the wall.

"Damn it! Wake up!" Seeing the sentry on duty sleeping, the patrol company went up and kicked the sentry.

The new recruit woke up in shock and looked at the ferocious old soldier, not daring to say a word, cursing in his heart.

"Fuck it, cheer up!"

"Yes...!" The recruits flattered on the surface, but secretly they had already cursed their ancestors. Damn it, you disturbed my sleep. Almost all the recruits believed that they could sleep soundly as long as there was a city wall.

After the old soldiers walked away, the new recruits once again fell asleep with their guns in their arms. The patrol company basically walked around the city wall. It can be said that all the new recruits were sleeping and the sentries were completely useless. If this continued, problems would arise sooner or later.

We walked past another section of the city wall and saw that there was no sentry on duty. This was even more outrageous, and they simply ignored military regulations.

The patrol team was angrily noticing fresh blood on the ground.

"There is a situation!"

The patrol team immediately followed the blood trail and saw dozens of corpses lying on the ground, with several night zombies feasting on them.

The old soldier of the patrol company looked gloomy. These guys didn't make a sound before they died. They really deserved to die. It was certain that the sentinels here were definitely sleeping as well.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

The sound of gunfire from the city walls pierced the night sky, and the sudden gunfire woke up the sleeping troops, except for the new regiment, who were sleeping like pigs.

A few seconds later, a red flare rose from the east wall, and the patrol company exchanged fire with several night zombies.

“Swoosh—”

Two flares rose from the mortar position inside the city wall, illuminating the top of the wall where the flares rose, revealing the night zombies hiding in the darkness.

"damn it!"

With the help of the light from the flares, the patrol company discovered more night zombies, some of which were climbing up the wall from outside, at least several hundred of them.

"Boom!"

A few grenades blew up a few night walkers, but it didn't have much effect. More night walkers were coming, and they needed stronger firepower.

"Retreat! To the machine gun position at the back!" The company captain threw down two grenades and retreated. They could no longer stop the night zombies, some of which had already jumped into the city wall.

"Da da da!"

The soldier who entered the position first turned his gun around and shot at the night zombies on the city wall.

"Hurry up and operate the mortar!" The company captain is a decisive man. He must destroy them on the city wall as much as possible, otherwise there will be more trouble later.

"Yes!" The soldiers didn't care whether the city wall would be damaged. In fact, there was no need to worry at all. The city wall was built with three-defense standards. Only special explosive bombs could damage the wall, and the mortar's high-explosive ammunition would only leave bullet marks.

"Tom!"

"Hey~"

"boom!"

The mortar is a great weapon for destroying enemies at medium and short distances. It has a quick preparation time and can shoot in a curve to attack the enemy perfectly from above their heads.

The night zombies were knocked dizzy by the random bombing. The sound of the explosion completely disrupted the tranquility of the night. The rumbling sound of artillery in the west had not yet subsided, but a battle was still going on on the eastern wall.

The people in the tent area wondered if zombies had breached the city wall.

Reinforcements arrived quickly and together with the patrol company suppressed the attack of the night zombies.

Before one wave of attacks came, another wave arose. The zombies in the west had taken some unknown drug and all went crazy. The squeaking sounds of corpse moths could be heard in the darkness, and the balance between offense and defense was broken.

“Woo~ woo~”

The alarm sounded and the barracks of the troops were in chaos. The soldiers hurriedly put on their equipment, gathered in an open space, and then either took a car or ran towards the west city wall.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. The artillery positions are busy. The city walls are under double pressure from the ground and the air, and the artillery must share the burden.

Adjust the bombardment parameters and attack the attacking zombies with intensive artillery fire.

"Boom boom boom!"

The muzzle fire lit up the night, and countless shells fell into the zombie horde with a whistling sound, causing beautiful fireworks to rise.

"Shoot, don't worry about the ground, shoot in the sky!" The commanders of various troops on the city wall stabilized their troops and fought back against the corpse moths in the sky. All the searchlights had been turned on, so the vision was very good.

The air defense force was slow to react; the night attack by the corpse moths was too sudden and there were too many of them to cope with.

"Burn them to death for me!" The city defense forces are equipped with flamethrowers, which are rarely used due to their range. Now that they are almost face to face, it is time to use them.

"Crench!"

Several tanks with strange appearances drove up the newly built ramp. When the nearby troops saw them, they immediately called on their teams to enter the bunkers and give up fighting the corpse moths.

The tanks that drove up were special flamethrower tanks. The troops were equipped with only eight of them. They were originally powerful weapons for dealing with various bunkers or infantry. The flamethrower tanks had a flame spraying distance of about 600 meters. The chemical combustion agent they used had a higher combustion temperature than gasoline, and getting too close could easily injure one's own people. As the saying goes, water and fire are merciless.

The teams near several flamethrower tanks hid in the machine gun bunkers, leaving the nearby corpse moths to the flamethrower tanks, and they could shoot the zombies on the ground.

The flamethrower tanks spread out on both sides, with the flamethrowers pointing to the sky. There are several nozzles right in front of the flamethrower tank turret, which can form a curtain of fire in an instant, but it consumes fuel.

"Chichi!"

The flamethrower tank sprayed out several columns of fire, accurately hitting many corpse moths. The flaming corpse moths flew everywhere and ignited other insects nearby. The scene was quite spectacular.

The situation on the city wall is still controllable. The situation has improved a lot after the close-in defense artillery joined the battle. However, this is only temporary, as there are still countless insects behind.

"Everyone is in your place!"

The catapult launched a round of white phosphorus bombs, and the bombs exploded among the zombies. The zombies seemed to be doused with oil and were instantly ignited. Countless zombies struggled in the flames.

Suddenly, a 155mm grenade exploded in the swarm of corpse moths. The 155mm high-explosive bomb was extremely powerful, not to mention the mid-air explosion, which doubled its power and immediately killed all the corpse moths within the radius. The flying shrapnel also accidentally injured the troops below, and two of the shrapnel shattered the searchlight.

Generally speaking, modern artillery shell fuses are no longer simple contact fuses, but utilize inertia. The fuse will only be triggered when the projectile body encounters sudden resistance and the inertial steel parts in the warhead overcome the spring force.

There was a wailing sound below the explosion of the shells. Some people had their eardrums shaken by the explosion, and more people were killed by shrapnel. The unlucky ones died on the spot!

The explosion of the shell in mid-air was an accidental accident. There was a large group of corpse moths blocking the trajectory. In fact, there was also a problem with the fuse of the shell. It was too sensitive.

After receiving the report, the artillery battalion readjusted the trajectory. It was impossible to stop firing, but they could only try to avoid it.

It was impossible to stop the huge number of corpse moths. Many of them broke through the defense line and rushed into the shelter. The shelter sent troops to eliminate the corpse moths that broke in, but it took a lot of time.

There was no other way, the shelter could only be used to evacuate the crowd. The shelter had a newly dug air-raid shelter that could not accommodate too many people. The others could only go to the war preparedness warehouse. Anyway, several large warehouses were empty, so it would be a good idea to convert them into temporary shelters.

"Listen, all residents. The defenses in the west have been breached by the corpse moths. Please follow the instructions and go to the warehouse for shelter! I repeat, the defenses in the west have been breached by the corpse moths...!"

Several military vehicles broke into the tent area, and some trucks stopped in the open space, calling on people to get on the vehicles, and the loudspeakers kept repeating words.

"Sir, what happened? Has the defense line been breached?"

"Yeah, it's the middle of the night, why are there fighting everywhere?" Many people surrounded a young man and asked him questions.

"The defense line has not been breached. Please trust us and leave first!" Shao Wei couldn't answer. He didn't know the situation on the front line. He just received an order to evacuate the people.

"Get in the car!" the soldier next to the truck called out to everyone.

"They are coming, be careful!" Several soldiers spotted the corpse moths in the sky, raised their guns and shot, hitting several of them immediately.

"Ah! Zombies are coming!" Someone shouted, like a bomb, the crowd completely exploded, and everyone's face was filled with fear of zombies.

“Hey, calm down, the zombies haven’t attacked yet...!” The screams of the crowd drowned out Shao Wei’s roar, causing quite a bit of chaos on the spot, and everyone rushed towards the truck.

The soldiers next to the truck saw the out-of-control crowd and felt something was wrong. They immediately ran onto the truck. Many people squeezed onto the truck and the soldiers were powerless as there were too many people and they could not handle it.

The soldiers on the truck felt that it was almost time, so they honked the horn a few times and prepared to start the vehicle. When they saw that the truck was about to drive away, many of them became anxious and tried their best to climb onto the vehicle, and many even climbed onto the roof.

"Hey! We haven't gotten on the bus yet!" The truck drove out of the tent area, and many people were chasing behind.

"Everyone calm down! They will come back, please line up!" Shao Wei shouted through the car loudspeaker, which called back some people.
