MTL - Wasteland Commander-Chapter 115 Rain is coming
Chapter 115 The storm is coming
Zhang Xiaofei was injured on his leg, but Ye Fan's hit was very accurate and no bones were injured. After being bandaged by two male medical soldiers, he was fine.
You have to hold on even if you have serious problems.
“Xiaofei, come up and talk!”
Zhang Xiaofei entered the city through the city gate, then climbed up the city wall and came to Wang Dashan's side.
“Xiao Fei, how did you come from outside?”
“Don’t mention it.”
Zhang Xiaofei looked around Wang Dashan, and then whispered: "It failed. We went in yesterday and were quickly discovered. Several of them were killed. Only I ran out from the back door. There was no possibility of success at all." .”
Wang Dashan is convinced of this. Zhang Xiaofei is a bold and careful person, otherwise he would not be allowed to take on the task of assassinating Ye Fan.
He said that if it cannot succeed, then it will definitely not succeed.
“Then you just told us to withdraw?”
“It’s over, it’s over! If we don’t retreat, it will be too late. Now there is a large group of zombies, less than ten kilometers away from Dawn City!”
"What did you say?"
Wang Dashan was suddenly startled: "Zombie? Why did the zombie come here? Isn't that thing just wandering around unconsciously as long as there is no living thing in sight?"
After passing the very beginning of the apocalypse, people’s fear of zombies is no longer that great.
Although this creature is cruel and inhumane, its weaknesses are very obvious.
That means there is no wisdom.
How can creatures without intelligence compete with humans?
So they only need to avoid places where zombies are concentrated and eliminate them bit by bit. The zombies are nothing more than targets.
Furthermore, Wang Dashan doesn’t think zombies can pose any threat here. This big city is not tightly guarded, so zombies can’t climb up.
Zhang Xiaofei said angrily: "It's not just a few zombies. There are hundreds of thousands of zombies coming this time. Not to mention Shuguang City, even if we go to the Northern Army, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it. If you stay here, you will just wait to die." Got it!"
Seeing that Wang Dashan didn't believe it, he immediately took out a telescope.
“Look over there, you can already see the shadow of the zombies.”
Wang Dashan took the telescope and looked at the distant wilderness.
At one glance, he was so frightened that he almost dropped the telescope under the city wall.
In the distance, about ten kilometers away, a thin black line was spreading on the horizon.
Zombies!
Too many zombies to count!
The number is so despairing that one cannot even think of resisting.
“What’s going on? Why are there so many zombies coming to the Dawn Army?”
Zhang Xiaofei shook his head: "I don't know what's going on, but if we don't run away, we will all die here. Do you want to be buried with the Dawn Army?"
"Of course not, but if you run away like this, we have to pay gold as compensation."
"Da Shan, you are out of your mind. If the Dawn Army is destroyed, who will we pay compensation to? Let's wait until they can pass this level."
Wang Dashan immediately felt it made sense.
Coupled with the worried noises from the people around him, he immediately agreed with Zhang Xiaofei's opinion.
“Pack your things, everyone is preparing to retreat, we can’t stay here any longer!”
Wang Dashan ran down from the city wall and prepared to board the armored vehicle and leave.
At this time, people from the Dawn Army stopped him.
“Hey! You can’t leave, we have a contract.”
Wang Dashan didn't want to pay attention to the people of the Shuguang Army and wanted to leave by force, but many people rushed out of the Shuguang Army with a roar, and the heavy machine guns on the sentry tower were also aimed at them.
Zhang Kunlin, the logistics officer of the Shuguang Army, arrived and said directly to Wang Dashan: "If you leave now, you have betrayed the agreement. You can leave if you want. You must publicly promise on the radio to compensate us 500 kilograms of gold, and you must ask the leaders of each of your bases. Make a promise, and then mortgage your weapons and vehicles here, otherwise none of you will be able to leave!"
Wang Dashan originally didn't want to agree, but Zhang Xiaofei said to Wang Dashan: "It's okay if you just go to the radio and say it. There are people monitoring the radio at our base at any time. Just ask the leader to promise. It doesn't matter if you keep the weapons. Do they have their lives? ?After this storm is over, we can still get it back."
Wang Dashan felt that what Zhang Xiaofei said made sense, and followed the Shuguang Army people to the radio station.
He and the leaders of several other forces read out the following words according to the manuscript paper given by the Dawn Army.
"Due to our own reasons, our Survivor Alliance must evacuate the Dawn Army camp. We promise to pay 500 kilograms of gold to the Dawn Army as agreed, within a month, and ask our leader to make a public commitment..."
Soon everyone in the bases heard the broadcast, and all leaders, including Zhang Zhiguo of the North-Wang Army, responded within ten minutes.
They agreed to keep the weapons and compensate the Dawn Army with gold, as long as the Dawn Army allowed the alliance personnel to withdraw.
Most of the weapons, including armored vehicles, remained.
Only a few leaders took a few pistols and drove away in two jeeps.
Most of the remaining people can only walk on foot.
Although the current public opinion supervision is basically the same situation, they do not dare to violate it easily, because once they violate it, some different voices will appear within themselves.
Not to mention the outside world, I am afraid that those survivors who are hesitant to wait and see will no longer join the alliance.
And the mortgaged weapons were real. For the weapons and armored vehicles of these 600 people, they also had to find ways to get gold.
Of course, the premise is that the Dawn Army can survive this disaster.
************
As soon as the 600 people they brought with them ran away, the more than 1,000 people who had sneaked in secretly also ran away.
But it is not easy for these people to escape.
They came here pretending to be survivors, and none of them took a car.
The zombies came in a menacing manner, and it seemed like a premeditated action. Such a large-scale escape might also attract the attention of the zombies.
Without a vehicle and just relying on legs, it is difficult for a person to outrun zombies.
Those without wisdom may be able to do it, but those with wisdom cannot.
People need to rest. It is simply unrealistic for a person to run dozens or hundreds of kilometers by relying on willpower.
Let alone running, I can't keep walking.
If the road back is targeted by zombies, it is destined to be a **** road.
Moreover, their escape caused some survivors within the Dawn Army to become chaotic.
Almost everyone knows about the arrival of a large-scale zombie wave.
After some people observed and confirmed it with telescopes, the inner city seemed to be boiling like a boiling pot of oil.
"No way! Run quickly, we can't defend this place."
"Where to run? There are walls and troops here, so other places might as well be here."
"But there are no zombies elsewhere. Hundreds of thousands of zombies have piled up from the city wall. How can we defend ourselves?"
"Escape. There may be a way to survive if you run out. If it's not possible, you may still be alive if you go into the mountains."
“Whoever wants to leave can leave. I won’t leave. It’s the same wherever I go in this world.”
The number of survivors here in the Shuguang Army now exceeds a thousand. Except for the 400 people brought by Ye Fan, the rest of the survivors have come here in the past few days.
It can be said that the people's hearts are not unified, and some newcomers do not yet have a sense of belonging to the Dawn Army.
The zombies are just ten kilometers away, and it will only take about two hours to reach Dawn City. They must make a choice.
Some people were ready to join the escape team regardless of the situation, but they couldn't hold them back.
The people who followed Ye Fan at the beginning basically didn't move. They couldn't think of where else to go.
And there are still people who are hesitant and at a loss.
At this time, Ye Fan came out.
He came among the survivors in the inner city.
Seeing Ye Fan come out, many survivors gathered around and wanted to ask Ye Fan what to do now.
Ye Fan glanced around and spoke slowly.
“The zombies are coming, there are hundreds of thousands of them, and their target is very clear, it is our Dawn City.”
"I know that everyone has their own ambitions. Here, I give everyone a chance to choose."
“Our Dawn Army will stick here and resist to the end. If you are willing to stay, I warmly welcome you.”
"For those who don't want to stay, I won't force you. The city gate is now open. You can leave immediately if you want. But remember one thing, once you walk out of this door, don't come back. The Dawn Army will not Will accept it!"
"Now I give everyone five minutes. If you are willing to leave, hurry up. If you don't leave after five minutes, it will be regarded as staying. If you want to leave again, it will be regarded as mutiny, and I will execute you immediately."
"Timing begins."
After finishing speaking, Ye Fan stood there and said nothing.
His parents and sisters, the Su sisters, Gao Dongliang, Qu Xiaoming, as well as some students from Chengguan Town, Lingshui No. 1 Middle School, and the courier boys who were rescued by him did not hesitate. stood behind Ye Fan.
Others looked at me and I looked at you, and some chose to stay.
However, there were also about 300 people who felt that it was not safe enough here and resolutely turned around and joined the escape team.
The last remaining survivors total about 800 people.
"time up!"
Ye Fan gave the order.
"All survivors will stay in the inner city from now on. They will never be allowed to go out or approach the city wall. From now on, the city wall will be under martial law! The entire city of Dawn City will be under military control!"
“Zhongjing!”
"arrive!"
“Enter battle preparations immediately, we have less than two hours to prepare.”
"yes!"
The large troops rushed out of the core area and began to climb the city wall.
The minelaying vehicle even drove directly out of the city and started laying mines urgently.
Ye Fan turned around and returned to the core area. He wanted to check the arsenal that was set up last night, and bullets had already begun to be produced there.
The zombie army is rapidly approaching, and the Dawn Army is busy deploying defenses.
If this battle is won, the Shuguang Army will definitely become a decisive force in Huacheng, and its prestige will definitely increase dramatically, and its growth will be obvious.
If they fail, they will be history.
The atmosphere was tense and everyone looked solemn.
The rain is about to come!
