Chapter 173 The Night of the Corpse Tide

After Lei He agreed to join the exploration team, he and Tao Haibiao would take turns going to work in the next few days, with one day of work and one day off, so it was not a big problem for the two to hand over.

Qin Shou specially made a set of iron armor for Lei He, and also prepared a big hammer, so two people can't use one set of equipment.

Going out to explore during the day, Qin Shou draws the blueprint of the Floating Void City by himself at home at night.

In fact, it is the general shape of the building, presented with his crappy drawing skills. After the "blueprint" is drawn, it can be modified according to the actual situation.

Building a floating city is different from ordinary buildings. There are more things to consider, and you need to be fully prepared.

Before he started work, time passed quickly, and it was May [-]th in a blink of an eye.

This is the third full moon night that Qin Shou experienced in coming to this world.

Compared with the previous two red fogs, Qin Shou seemed much calmer.

With the shelter's current defense strength, as long as they don't die and move directly into the city, the corpses that can come to the suburbs are limited. Even if they pass through the checkpoint, they can't get close to the defense of dozens of automatic turrets.

The survivors of the Qin Dynasty's shelter, especially those newcomers, were nervous. Everyone knew what would happen on the night of the full moon. Even though they knew that the Qin Dynasty's defense was amazing, they were still a little worried.

Qin Shou issued an order, what should everyone do during the day, there is no need to worry.Go back to your room to rest at night, don't worry about the tide of corpses.

On Qin Shou's side, Gu Hong from the northern suburb and Huang Yuanzhen from the western suburb were very nervous, and they took the survivors to prepare early in the morning.

Huang Yuanzhen got the wooden spike trap set up by Qin Shou, but he was still not at ease. He prepared weapons for each survivor, and arranged them in four directions of the factory building, guarding them with walls and fences.At the same time, be prepared for the unexpected, and let all survivors retreat to the factory building if there is any sign of loss.All entrances and exits have been blocked from the inside, leaving only the entrance and exit.If you have to, retreat to it, and wait until daytime to find a way to get out of trouble.

Of course, this is a last resort.If possible, it's best to keep the zombies out of the fence.

Gu Hong's side is also very busy. The Xiongshan Shelter has prepared defenses in advance, which are stronger and safer than last time. Still, we can't rest assured that all the soldiers under his command have enough bullets and are equipped with sharp sabers to guard the front line.Once the barbed wire and wooden walls were breached, the soldiers stood in the front, and the rear was the "reserve army" after receiving the weapons, which were male survivors with a little fighting power in the shelter, and of course some tougher women.

It was dark in a blink of an eye, knowing that the red mist would not fall to the ground like the first time, but just stay in the air. Gu Hong's defense arrangement was relatively bold. The soldiers did not know to hide in the buildings near the wall, and even stood in line outside.

Because of the limited defense points in the building, the zombie tide was almost broken by the zombies last time. This side has learned a lesson and does not want to make the same mistake again.

Accompanied by the screams of zombies one after another, as if the blood-stained sky sounded like thunder, countless red dots appeared in the night, moving quickly towards the shelter.

"Here we come!" Gu Hong, who already had experience, personally led troops to guard the front line, and ordered loudly, "Attention all units, the zombies must not be allowed to climb over the wall."

All the soldiers of the Hua County National Salvation Corps, behind the barbed wire and on the top of the watchtower, loaded their guns. With their hearts beating wildly, facing the tide of crazy zombies, they pulled the triggers one after another.

The shelter was full of flames and gunshots continued.

When the wave of corpses approached, some soldiers started throwing Molotov cocktails.

They don't have a system, but there are many talents in the shelter.The process of making Molotov cocktails is not difficult, and they have been stockpiled in advance.

With Molotov cocktails, dealing with zombie hordes is much easier than before.

The outermost perimeter is a barbed wire fence, and the burning zombies cannot rush over. Of course, there is no need to worry about the second wooden wall being ignited.

The only problem is that countless burning zombies rushed to the barbed wire fence, standing on the front line, the temperature was extremely high, and every soldier felt that there was a furnace in front of him, so he had to endure it.

Although the survivors in the shelter here don't need to rush to the front line, they can watch the army fight the zombies from behind, and will not join the battle unless the front line collapses.But seeing the larger and more terrifying corpse attack than last time with their own eyes, they were all terrified to death.

The most frightening thing is that there is a monster that has never been seen before in the zombie tide. It looks larger than ordinary zombies, looks like common insect stinkbugs, and has the ability to attack zombies.

These giant insects came with the tide of corpses. When the soldiers of Huajun National Salvation Corps blocked the army of zombies with powerful firepower, they sprayed out a large amount of poisonous gas and entered the shelter through the barbed wire. A group of soldiers on the front line were enveloped in poisonous gas, and they all fell to the ground and struggled , soon dies.

This situation frightened Gu Hong, and he hurriedly ordered the reserve army to mobilize gas masks to support the front line.

With gas masks, the frontline soldiers barely withstood the poisonous gas attack, and after fierce fighting with firearms and Molotov cocktails, they finally wiped out these mutated poisonous insects.

The tide of corpses pushed forward desperately. After more than an hour of hard fighting, the first layer of barbed wire fence gradually failed. Gu Hong led his soldiers to quickly retreat to the wooden wall and shoot out from the high platform.

Zombies breaking through the barbed wire is to be expected, and it's not bad for an hour.

From the barbed wire fence to the wooden wall, Gu Hong asked people to dig trenches in advance as the second layer of defense. This is a reference to the defense that Xiong Yan and others saw in the Qin Dynasty.

The fight was lively in the front, and the survivors in the rear were full of fear, and the roar of zombies kept ringing in their ears, making everyone's hearts palpitate.

The situation in the western suburbs was a little better. Because of the wooden thorn traps arranged in advance, it was extremely difficult for the corpses to rush to the vicinity of the wall. Many of them were stabbed to death before they arrived, or stuck on the wooden thorns and could not move.

There are also mutated poisonous insects here, and the poisonous gas ejected easily crossed the fence, poisoning several survivors, and it was too late to rescue them.Because there is a breeding farm here, there are countless zombie animals in the corpse tide, most of them are domestic animals, such as pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, which are also blocked by the trap layer, making it difficult to come over.

Huang Yuanzhen saw that the defense of the trap was amazing, and asked the survivors to pay attention to the poisonous insects during the defense. After all, spraying poison from a long distance is difficult to defend against.

The survivors here are also full of fear in the face of the poisonous insects that did not appear last time, especially when they saw their companions die quickly after being sprayed with poisonous gas, suffocating in pain.

But they couldn’t back down easily. There were no gas masks. Someone soaked towels and cloth in water and asked everyone to tie them on their faces to block the poisonous gas.The effect is there, not everyone can block it, and many people are still knocked down by the poisonous gas.

Fortunately, these poisonous insects passed through the trap area, were quickly pierced by wooden thorns, and died one after another.

On Qin Dynasty's side, the survivors were all in the dormitory building away from the attack point of the corpse wave. Although Qin Shou told them to take a good rest, everyone stood by the window and opened the curtains to look out.From this direction, the vicinity of the wall can barely be seen.

The checkpoint area is too far away to be seen here, but you can hear the roar of various zombies and the continuous gunshots of the automatic turret.

It lasted until around 23 o'clock in the evening, and finally saw the tide of corpses approaching the base.

For a moment, the automatic turrets in the gate area of ​​the base fired wildly, deafeningly.None of the zombies were able to successfully break through the trap area, and were blocked at the periphery. Only a few entered the middle layer and were killed by headshots.

In the early hours of the morning, the tide of corpses continued, but very few of them managed to reach the gate. Even if they did, the zombies who were lucky enough to avoid the bullets would fall into a deep ditch nearly [-] meters away when the suspension bridge was closed.
