Chapter 174 Counting

Chapter 174 Counting

The battle continued until the next morning, when the red fog receded, the crazy zombies returned to the most common, slow-moving ordinary zombies.

Even if the red mist recedes, there are still zombies in a state of madness. The number is not very large, but compared with the previous two zombie waves, it has increased significantly.

Among the corpses, there were more zombie dogs than before and the giant mutated insects that appeared for the first time last night.

After a whole night of fighting, everyone at Bear Mountain Shelter was exhausted.

Ordinary survivors also joined the battle and fought all night. The frontline defenses finally stopped the zombies, although most of the barbed wire fences collapsed, and the piles of corpses under the wooden walls were precarious.

Even at dawn, the tide of corpses has not been completely cleared, and there are still many remaining zombies trying to climb and trample over the wooden wall from the corpses.

Gu Hong, who hadn't slept all night, led his men to stand behind the fence, using ladders, wooden boxes, furniture and other things to step on their feet, and used melee weapons to kill the zombies climbing onto the pile of corpses one after another.

There are also those who specialize in killing zombie dogs and mutated insects with weapons such as Molotov cocktails and firearms.

Until eight or nine o'clock in the morning, all the remaining zombies were finally wiped out, and everyone in the shelter could breathe a sigh of relief and rest for a while.

Someone was in charge of counting the number of casualties and reporting to Gu Hong: "Chief, at the latest this battle has suffered the most losses. Six of our elite troops were killed and more than [-] were injured. Ten people were killed and more than [-] were injured in the new recruits. Survivors The reserve team had one death and no one was injured."

The reason why only one survivor died and no one was injured was because the reserve team stayed behind most of the time and did not need to directly participate in the battle. Gu Hong formed the reserve team to provide backup for the main force, transporting weapons, ammunition and various necessities for combat readiness, unless As a last resort, the main force will only be let on top after they are wiped out.

As an official of the imperial court, Gu Hong is relatively upright in this regard, and will not let ordinary people go to the front line to die in vain.

The survivor who died was mainly unlucky, and the venom injected by the mutated insect during the delivery of supplies hit the face.

The battle last night was too fierce, and it was difficult to compare the previous two Red Mists.

No one would have imagined that after much difficulty in repairing the wall to defend against zombies, a deadly mutated poisonous insect with an unbelievably large size appeared for the first time.

The new monster didn't have any defensive measures against it. Under its terrifying poisonous gas, it's pretty good that the defense hasn't been breached.

The atmosphere in the Bear Mountain Sanctuary was heavy, and the casualties of this wave of corpses made the survivors feel fear and despair.

Everyone has discovered that every time the red mist appears, the zombies will become more terrifying, and there will be some monsters that have never been seen before.

Gu Hong also felt the pressure: "How many of the wounded are infected?"

"A total of 17 people were injured and infected in the front-line battle. The other wounded were due to various reasons such as falling from a height during the battle, firearms misfired, improper use of Molotov cocktails, etc. This time it was a bit messed up!"

"It's still not enough training! Even the elite team members were not recruited specifically to deal with zombies before the end of the day. And those poisonous insects, even insects have mutated, and they have become so terrifying. Is it really necessary to let humans go extinct? Gu Hong sighed, turned around and asked, "Are there enough vaccines?"

"Boss, there are survivors who are constantly fleeing, and many of them are bitten by zombies and infected. There are still enough vaccines, and more will be replaced after they are used up."

"How long will the scientific research department be able to imitate the vaccine?"

"So far, there is no hope."

"With so many highly educated talents, they can't even imitate a vaccine made by a bastard?"

"Boss, the bastard you are talking about is the chosen one after all, and the vaccine is made with superpowers."

"Although I'm not reconciled, I still have to ask him to get more vaccines." Gu Hong said depressingly, "By the way, let's see how the Eastern Suburb suffered losses. Did their defense successfully stop the tide of corpses last night?"

"But leader, we are running out of resources. We have changed a lot of food and vaccines before, and everyone is exhausted. We have to deal with zombie corpses to minimize the possibility of polluting the land, infecting survivors, and repairing defenses. Time to go out to collect supplies, what can I exchange for vaccines?"

"You can't watch your infected brothers turn into zombies, or even endanger others." Gu Hong pondered for a moment, "So, use the partially damaged firearms from yesterday's battle, and get some from the warehouse, and exchange them for vaccines!"

"It's not that good, is it?"

"There is no other way, just do as I say!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, ask the scientific research department to temporarily put down their work, and quickly design gas masks, using the existing materials and survivors in the shelter, and mass-produce them. The defense against poisonous insects must also be done as soon as possible!" Gu Hong said, "In addition In addition, in the last meeting, it was mentioned that the construction of cement walls, bunkers, arrow towers and other advanced defense facilities should be prioritized, and the shelter must further strengthen its defenses, otherwise the next wave of corpses will be more troublesome! When trading with the eastern suburbs, except Vaccines, change building materials as much as possible. We don't have much time, we must hurry!"

"Boss, didn't someone mention before that you can use cranes and forklifts to pile up those scrapped vehicles on the outside to make a simple defensive wall? Although scrapped vehicles can be disassembled into parts and exchanged for resources with the eastern suburbs, in the new defense facility It should be ok to use it temporarily until the work is finished, right?"

"It's not clear whether this plan is reliable or not," Gu Hong thought for a long time, "But the situation has changed, so we can try it. Instruct me to wait until the zombie corpses outside are cleaned up, and first use scrapped vehicles to surround the damaged wire fence. , as a temporary defensive wall."

"Yes!"

In the western suburbs, Huang Yuanzhen also had a sad expression on his face.

Compared to Bear Mountain, the casualties in the shelter were much smaller.

After one night, there were very few cases where survivors fought head-on with zombies, and the large-scale wooden spike traps on the outside played a big role.

It was the emergence of mutant poisonous insects, which no one expected.

Because of its poisonous gas injection, a total of seven survivors were hit by the poisonous gas and lost their lives in the shelter that did not do a good job of protection in advance.

Other than that, it's not bad, the tide of corpses is blocked outside the wall, unlike the northern suburbs.During the daytime, although most of the wooden thorn traps were destroyed, and there were countless zombies wandering around, most of them were stabbed to death by the wooden thorns, and most of the rest had broken limbs and could only crawl on the ground.

As for zombie animals, poisonous insects, etc., they were stabbed to death on the spot, and it was very rare for them to survive in the wooden thorn trap.

Cleaning up the battlefield was quite a headache for Huang Yuanzhen. Although he hid all night, it was easier than the previous zombie tide. A large number of zombies surviving outside, including zombie corpses, had to be dealt with in time.

In addition, he had to ask the Qin Dynasty to help him set up more defensive traps.
