Chapter 119 Zombie Siege

The scene returns to a few days ago, to the day after the Evan couple joined the prison.

Atlanta, prison.

Several managers were sitting in Lu Jiayi's office talking about something.

"Haha, today is such a good day. I just woke up and heard that two virology experts and a weapons master came to the base. By the way, how is Lu?" It was Morgan who spoke, and he was pinching his hands at this time. Sitting across from Rick holding a piece of paper.

Rick distributed the paper in his hand to several people while answering: "He said the destination is Virginia, and he will not stay there forever, and will come back in five or six months at most."

Sean complained with some confusion: "I really don't understand what Lu is thinking. He doesn't want to stay here despite such good conditions, but he has to go to such a far place!"

"I have the opposite view than you. I think Lu is right to do this. It is very important to contact the surrounding forces in advance or find out some information. In the end of the world, anything can happen. When the time comes, a reliable The rear base may be our last choice!"

The person who spoke turned out to be Sergeant Wells, the helicopter pilot from before.

Sean seemed a little unconvinced. He pointed to the city wall outside the window and said, "You told me there would be an accident here? Please, even the tanks can't get in through our outer city wall!"

Wells sighed and said with some emotion: "Hey... I had the same idea as you at the beginning."

"Okay, stop talking, let's discuss the follow-up plan!" Rick interrupted the quarrel between several people and tapped the page in his hand.

"This is our development plan for the next six months! I have sorted out some of the things Lu explained before he left, and also added some of my own ideas. I asked everyone to come over to see if there are any other opinions."

"This plan is already quite detailed! I have no objections."

"No comment!"

…

Rick nodded. He also spent several days perfecting the plan and thought it was quite comprehensive.

Morgan took the paper and read it from beginning to end, and then said: "I would like to add that there is no problem in renovating the outer wall, but you can add a circle of horses!"

"This is a good idea. The outer walls can be arranged more, which can not only enhance the safety of people going out, but also play a certain protective role. They can be dismantled and rearranged when expanding in the future."

Inspired by Morgan, a group of people started chatting and put forward ideas one by one, and Rick wrote them all down.

…

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and the paper in Rick's hand was already full of writing. He nodded while looking at the paper in his hand, tapping his fingers on the table in a controlled manner, about to say something.

"Dong dong dong!"

There was a rapid knock on the door, and Hershel's somewhat panicked voice sounded outside the door.

"Rick! Come out, there's an emergency!"

Somehow, Rick felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar, and his heart gradually lifted.

The door opened, and an anxious Hershel was standing at the door. He glanced around the room in a panic, and finally locked his eyes on Rick. He said in a slightly anxious tone: "The patrols outside reported that there was a huge corpse. The swarm is moving this way, the number cannot be determined, but there are at least tens of thousands of them!”

Rick cursed in his mind, there was a wave of corpses just last night, and they just escaped and came again? Are these zombies targeting this place? You can't blame Rick for complaining, it's mainly because it's a bit awkward at this time.

A new wall is being built outside the fence. It has just been repaired a little bit. The fence outside can never support so many zombies. The city wall does not matter. Once the fence is destroyed, it means that the farmland that has grown inside will also be destroyed! This was also the reason why Hershel came in a hurry.

Rick knows very well that this year's grain harvest is very important! Very important! It can be said that all subsequent development depends on this batch of grain.

There is indeed a port or military base in the subsequent development plan, but going out to collect supplies is too unstable, and no one can guarantee that enough food will be collected.

It is precisely because of the importance of this batch of food that the second city wall was built. It can only be said that these damn zombies came at the wrong time!

Bang! Rick slapped his hand on the table and said with a serious face: "Everyone, it seems that we can't just sit idly by and ignore this zombie wave! Be prepared for a tough battle!"

Sean stared at the piece of paper in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Rick, didn't it say this? You don't have to deal with a large number of zombies head-on. There are many ways, such as tying up the base around the base." The last circle of zombies, and this one, made of zombie skin!”

Rick was also a little helpless, shook his head and said: "There is no time! This battle is inevitable!"

A group of people sighed, and they all understood that it was indeed too late. Those methods required preparation time. It is estimated that even Lu did not expect such a coincidence to happen.

After spreading out the map around the prison, Rick quickly arranged it. A group of people spoke to each other, and soon, a preliminary plan was formed.

In just half an hour, the survivors of the base were like a fully wound machine, running quickly. Except for the elderly and children, those who could participate in the war, regardless of men or women, were mobilized. The current base There are already more than 500 survivors, and about three-quarters of them are immediate combatants, but it is impossible for all of them to go to the city wall.

Rick sent about 300 people to the city wall, three of them in groups. As usual during training, two of the three were responsible for killing the walking zombies, and one was responsible for loading ammunition. Because the quota for one person was uncertain, so Each person only carries three magazines, and these three people control it themselves. If the bullet supply is insufficient, someone will remove the magazine and load it.

There are less than a hundred people left. Fifteen of these people are tank soldiers and fifty are armored vehicle soldiers. The remaining twenty or thirty people are just doing some chores and going wherever they are needed. It is considered mobile. Group.

Everyone was in place, and the tanks and armored vehicles also drove out of the gate. The armored vehicles lined up in a row in front of the zombies, leaving a gap in the middle. Five tanks lined up and parked behind the armored vehicles. , their function is not to shoot, but to crush!

Rick stood at the center of the city wall, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand and staring closely at the edge of the woods in the distance. According to the previous report, the walking corpse was less than two kilometers away from the base! He understood that the purpose of this operation was not only to eliminate these zombies, but the most important thing was to prevent these zombies from breaking through the city wall and destroying the sprouted crops!

Like Rick, everyone on the city wall secretly clenched the weapons in their hands, and their hearts beat rapidly involuntarily. The effects of adrenaline made these people feel that their bodies were shaking slightly uncontrollably, but they did not do anything. Noticed, his eyes were also fixed on the edge of the woods in the distance.

"Captain Rick! There's still one thousand meters left!"

"Eight hundred meters!"

"Five hundred meters!"

…

A walking corpse swayed out of the edge of the woods, and then in everyone's sight, a dense crowd of walking corpses instantly emerged from the edge of the woods! The width of the corpse group in front was about thirty or forty meters, and it became wider towards the back, and they walked straight towards the open space in front of the city wall.

Rick did not order to fire. The city wall was about 150 meters away from the edge of the woods. It was necessary to wait for the zombies to get closer before they could provide a suitable distance between the city wall and the people on the armored vehicle.

One hundred and fifty meters!

One hundred meters!

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

The people on the armored vehicle opened fire first, and they were closer to the corpse group. At this time, they were only fifty meters away from the corpse group.

The group of corpses stagnated for a short time under the firepower of dozens of people, but they were still moving forward!

Finally, when he was still more than twenty meters away from the armored vehicle, Rick fired the first shot on the city wall!

"Bang! Shoot!"

As Rick roared, a burst of fierce gunshots suddenly erupted from the city wall!
