From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 176
Chapter 176 Longwei Town, Battle Of
A group of eight cars swept out of the steel plant. The first one was a modified dregs truck. Not only were the windows fitted with a strong steel mesh, the front of the truck was welded with a large triangular impact angle. With the weight of the dregs truck, there was basically no obstacle to the impact. All the living corpses along the way were scattered everywhere by its shovel.
“Old Cheng! What the hell is going on with you guys? Where exactly are you stuck …”
Chen Guangda, who was sitting in the trainer car, was holding up a mobile phone while talking. Unfortunately, the signal quality was extremely poor. Not only was it filled with ear-piercing noise, the signal was also intermittent. He could barely hear Cheng Yaning shouting from inside, “Dragon Tail Town’s organ compound, we are surrounded by living corpses. Come and save us!”
“Just wait! We’ll be there soon …”
Chen Guangda hung up the phone and opened the map. He saw that Dragon Tail Town was more than 20 kilometers away from the steel factory and was almost within the borders of another city. The map they had marked did not have this place at all. Zhang Mang frowned and said, “It is estimated that Dragon Tail Town was the place they passed by when they arrived. They thought that the danger was not too great.”
“I don’t think he believes our map. I’ve already marked Lingshui Town with a low risk value. In the morning, a lot of people went there in groups. They are the only ones who are different from others …”
Chen Guangda shook his head dejectedly, but Zhang Mang smiled bitterly and said, “We can’t blame them. They were cheated so many times last night that they were so poor that they almost went to beg for food. If it was me, I would have to take care of them. I guess Cheng Yaning would have been cheated out of his mental shadow!”
“Haha ~ We’re giving him an education class. It’s a blessing to be at a disadvantage …”
Chen Guangda laughed and ordered the car to speed up. Not long after, he saw Cheng Yaning’s earthquake car. It was parked on a high ground and used as a communication base station. When the people in the car saw them, they all ran out anxiously. However, Chen Guangda only waved his hand and left immediately.
Actually, there weren’t many living corpses in the surroundings. Only when they passed through the villages and towns could they encounter a large number of corpses. However, these living corpses were often like mud. You forcefully cut a path through the middle, but not long after, they would be blocked again. Most of the living corpses that were knocked flying would be able to stand up again.
About half an hour later, The convoy finally stopped near Dragon Tail Town. However, when Chen Guangda climbed onto the roof and looked through his binoculars, his vision was filled with living corpses. There were at least a few thousand of them. He immediately said seriously, “This situation is not right. I’m afraid there’s a group of corpses crossing the border. Otherwise, Old Cheng wouldn’t be stupid enough to run into the pile of corpses!”
“Can living corpses migrate as well? Or is there something directing them …”
Zhang Mang and the others’ expressions turned ugly. Fortunately, these living corpses did not stay in the town. They were slowly moving forward. Chen Guangda immediately took out his phone and called Cheng Yaning, saying, “Can you hold on for a while longer? The living corpses are moving forward. I estimate that two thirds of them will be gone in at most half an hour!”
“The living corpse is temporarily unable to enter. We can persevere any longer …”
Cheng Yaning helplessly agreed. After saying thank you, he hung up the phone. Chen Guangda and the others could only retreat behind a forest and wait patiently. However, from time to time, there would be scattered living corpses running over, just in time for the cannon fodder team to train.
The cannon fodder squad was no longer the same as before. More than 30 people were enough to be called the cannon fodder squad, and the reserve squad had also expanded to more than 20 people. Only the elite squad was still miserable. There were only seven or eight big cats in total, but everyone knew that this was Chen Guangda’s true direct descendant.
“Almost there! Have the cannon fodder squad and reserve squad go up and fight each other. Anyone who dares to escape will be shot on the spot …”
Chen Guangda abruptly jumped off the roof of the car. The living corpses in the town were just as he had expected. More than half of them had already walked away in half an hour. They all staggered towards the south. Following the shouts of the three captains, more than 60 people immediately gathered together and rubbed their fists in front of them.
“Let’s not talk too much nonsense. Today is your first war. I hope that all of you will perform well. When victory returns, I will reward you with merit. You will not be biased towards anyone …”
Chen Guangda stood at the forefront of the group and looked around. Everyone immediately shouted out in unison. Then, under the leadership of the old members of each group, they walked forward. Chen Guangda and Zhang Mang also followed behind with guns. However, in just a few breaths, they began to engage in battle. The living corpses that heard the shouts rushed over.
“Steady! Steady! The three of them rely on each other and fight steadily …”
Seeing the members’ instinctive commotion, the few captains immediately shouted loudly. Fortunately, the rookies basically had the experience of fighting with the living corpses, and there was no such terrible situation as collapsing before fighting. The old members of the cannon fodder team welcomed them first, and the rookies who were still hesitant immediately followed.
“Corpse Collection Brigade! Everything is invincible …”
Everyone instinctively shouted out a new slogan that Chen Guangda had created. Using a surge of blood energy, they charged forward. A group of charging living corpses were stabbed to the ground in the blink of an eye. The cannon fodder squad naturally couldn’t be all cannon fodder. Several particularly valiant fellows took advantage of this opportunity to rush out of the squad and pounced towards the largest group of corpses.
“Don’t rush too hard, we must work together as a team …”
Chen Guangda and Zhang Mang also began to command the troops. They gradually and steadily advanced forward, like a meat grinder. Step by step, they pushed from the road to the farmland. Wherever they went, they would definitely leave behind corpses all over the ground.
This scene was even more satisfying than Chen Guangda had expected. The people from the steel mill were definitely more ferocious than those brought out by the fish farm. However, the first major crisis came very quickly. A long dragon suddenly appeared in the town. The leading group of living corpses were all extremely tall and strong. The team was immediately thrown into chaos when the flanks were suddenly attacked.
“Cannon fodder team, don’t move. Reserve team, attack the living corpses on the side …”
Chen Guangda’s eyebrows twitched as he hurriedly raised his gun and fired. At least two or three hundred living corpses rushed out of his head. If he wanted to reduce the casualties, he could only shoot directly. However, the flaws of the gun were immediately exposed. Even an old special police officer like Zhang Mang could not shoot his head off. It was already good enough to kill two or three of the ten bullets.
As for Chen Guangda’s spear technique, he was just like a bank robber. He directly took a step forward. The spear was pressed against his waist, and his left hand continuously pressed down on the barrel of the spear. Although this method could knock the living corpse to the ground as quickly as possible, there weren’t many who really died. Even if his head was blown off, it was purely his luck.
“Ah …”
Suddenly! A few fish slipped into the cannon fodder squad. The two of them were instantly pushed to the ground. Who knew that the few closest to them would not help but run away with a scream and flee quickly into the woods not far away.
“Bang Bang Bang …”
Chen Guangda shot down two people with one shot, and the rest fell to the ground with an arrow. However, Chen Guangda fired another shot into the sky and shouted, “Whoever dares to escape again, I will kill him. Even if you die, you can only die under the mouths of the living corpses. I will never forgive any escaping loser!”
The commotion in the team quickly disappeared, Most of the rookies probably didn’t expect Chen Guangda to shoot the deserters so decisively. They could only fight to the death with their arms wide open. The people who had originally stayed behind also began to fight to the death. From now on, they finally understood what it meant to fight behind their backs, and every battle they fought in the future would be the same.
“Kill me!”
Chen Guangda directly took off with his spear on his back and joined the white-edged battle. This kind of leadership was not only rare, it could also boost morale. Under Chen Guangda’s fearless leadership, everyone’s combat strength had clearly risen by a large margin. Nearly a thousand living corpses were quickly slaughtered.
“Oh …”
Looking at the mountains of corpses lying behind them, everyone couldn’t help but raise their weapons and cheer. The living corpses that were still wandering around rushed over one after another. However, everyone didn’t care at all. They didn’t need anyone to direct them to take the initiative to welcome them. They directly rushed into the small town, and their powerful killing intent almost broke through the sky.
“Shh ~ From now on, all of you stay on the highest alert …”
Chen Guangda, the leader, suddenly issued a silence order. Everyone consciously shrank to a single spot, and their eyes swept about like scanners. This Dragon Tail Town was obviously a rich town. Not only were there many cars parked on the road, there were also many more shops on both sides of the street than in Huang Town.
“Don’t gather together, split into two teams to cover for each other …”
Zhang Mang hurriedly gave the order. Everyone spread their distance. However, they could not suppress their excitement. They had easily taken down a town of more than ten thousand people. In the past, no one dared to imagine it. This teamwork was indeed much better than a small gang case.
Scattered living corpses kept rushing out from every corner. However, the people who had been prepared didn’t panic. They easily stabbed the living corpses to the ground. The cannon fodder brigade was even a little scrambling for the chance to show off. They were afraid that no one would covet the materials that were close at hand. Anyway, everything in Slaughtering Light Town was theirs.
“Sixth brother! It’s their riot control car …”
Yang Hao, who was on the left, suddenly shouted. Chen Guangda hurriedly turned his head and saw a Saber-toothed Tiger riot-proof car lying tilted in the ditch. The supplies on the roof of the car were scattered all over the ground, and there were many living corpses lying around. It was estimated that they were suddenly attacked while retreating.
“Move forward! They shouldn’t be far ahead …”
Chen Guangda turned around and walked to the left with large strides. From afar, he saw two off-road police cars. One of them had been completely destroyed. A group of living corpses were still eating the corpses in the car, while the other was tightly attached to a wall. From the open skylight, Cheng Yaning and the others should have directly flipped into the courtyard.
“Why haven’t these idiots come out yet?”
Zhang Mang walked forward and frowned. The living corpses in the vicinity were almost attracted to him. Even if there were still many living corpses in the courtyard, there would definitely not be too many. Cheng Yanning and the others should have the ability to charge out.
Chen Guangda’s heart suddenly shook. He immediately took out the phone that he had turned silent. He saw that there were already more than 20 missed calls on it. After he opened a text message to check, his expression instantly changed.
“Holy shit! There’s a jumping corpse …”
Chen Guangda was shocked, but before he could finish his sentence, a miserable scream suddenly came from behind him. A huge head suddenly flew into the air, and bright red blood soared into the sky. Following that was a strange scream. When the man fell, a monster covered in blood appeared.
