Chapter 283: Fighting to the End (8)
Just as Rick was commanding the convoy and preparing to return to the mountaintop village, a voice rang from the walkie-talkie on Rick's chest.
Intelligence officers at the position are broadcasting the movement of the zombie tide in real time on the public channel through drone observation.
"The zombie tide is heading towards Harrisonburg and Charlottesville. The scale has reached tens of thousands. Comrades on missions in the surrounding areas please pay attention."
Rick, who was sitting in the pickup truck, received the report and his expression suddenly fell.
As luck would have it, the convoy drove up a slope, which caused him to notice a dark mass in front of him...
A tide of zombies with moving heads occupied the road and the woods. Some tall figures and jumping dwarfs also appeared among the zombies.
"Fuck! Turn around! We're going to Harrisonburg!"
Rick cursed and immediately ordered the convoy to turn around again and return to the direction of Harrisonburg.
The remaining ammunition in the convoy cannot sustain another wave of zombies. The way forward has been blocked by the zombies, and they have no chance of getting through!
Now the people in Hilltop Village have only one option, which is to return to Fort Harrison and let the military's armored forces protect them.
"Sean, contact the military and ask the troops from Fort Harrison for help! Don't hurt us by mistake!" Rick said to Sean anxiously.
The Shandingzhai convoy was right in the direction of the armored force's attack. Although the tide of zombies outside the town had been almost wiped out by everyone, the army still needed to clean up the rest.
Returning to Harrisonburg, the convoy will be close to the army's fire output zone, which is a very dangerous thing!
Sean took the walkie-talkie and quickly contacted the person in charge of the army. But what he didn't expect was that a huge noise suddenly came from the air!
Whoosh—buzz—!
A bomber that had arrived from nowhere was lowering its altitude and moving towards the advance line of the zombie tide.
The direction in which it was flying was tangent to the route of the zombie tide, and its goal was obviously to stop the zombie tide from approaching!
Black shadows fell from the sky. Rick urged Jesus to step on the accelerator and speed up. The convoy was not far from directly below the bomber. If they went any slower, everyone would be affected by the bombing!
call out---!
A strange sound appeared in the air. The bomber had already dropped the bomb. Black dots fell from the sky with the scream of death.
boom! boom! boom!
Suddenly, huge balls of fire rose up on the road, like the flames of hell breaking through the blockade of the earth and coming to the world to show off their power!
The bomber dropped napalm bombs!
Although the shock wave generated by the explosion of this gasoline bomb is not as terrifying as that of an aerial bomb, the shock wave generated by the instantaneous combustion is still not small.
The exploding flames chased the tail of the pickup truck and brushed past the scalps of the people in the back compartment. Rick felt his head getting hot and quickly bent down and buried his head.
When the pickup truck rushed out some distance, Rick immediately reached for his head and grabbed a handful of burnt hair.
Rick started, turning to look at the sea of corpses that had been bombed by napalm.
Billowing black smoke rose up on the road, and the gel from the gasoline bomb adhered to objects around the explosion, constantly supporting the burning of the flames.
At this moment, the deserted road and forest turned into a sea of fire. The dry trees and dead leaves in autumn helped the sea of fire release more heat.
A hundred-meter-long sea of fire defense line appeared in the path of the advancing tide of zombies after the bombers flew over. Facing the sea of fire, the tide of zombies instead accelerated their speed. The light and heat seemed to have a fatal attraction to them.
The rotten and dry bodies were quickly ignited in the sea of fire. The only body fluids left in the corpses were black and sticky blood. Their bodies were withering visibly with the naked eye. The burning clothes on their bodies were emitting black smoke. Soon, they fell to the ground one by one, making faint roars amid the roar of the flames.
The pickup truck had already moved away from the tide of zombies. The machine gunner stood in the back compartment, looking at the hundreds of meters long smoke rising from the distant woods, his body shaking uncontrollably.
"Is this the position? This is crazy." The machine gunner muttered with a look of shock on his face.
Sean rubbed his head hard and shook off the burnt hair. His hair was originally short, and after being affected by the flames, he became bald.
"Shantou Village Convoy, we have spotted you. Tanks will come out to clear the way for you! Please hurry and enter the town!"
A voice suddenly rang from the intercom, and the officer of the armored unit received an order from his superiors and immediately went out to provide support.
"Roar!!"
"Hoo!"
"Uh-huh..."
At the entrance of Harrisonburg, the remaining zombies had already turned around and headed towards the town entrance. The tanks guarding the town entrance had already driven out at this time, and when they drove into the wilderness, they accelerated and crashed into the swarm of zombies.
More than a dozen tanks rushed out of the town and drove to both sides of the road. Their bodies weighing dozens of tons easily knocked down the zombies one by one, and the sounds of flesh and bones bursting continued to appear under their tracks.
The tide of zombies occupying the road was violently curbed by the tank convoy, and the people in the mountaintop village had already approached the road at the town entrance.
Seeing a large number of tanks blocking the tide of zombies and clearing the way for everyone, Rick and Sean, who had always been dissatisfied, had to admire the Destiny position at this time.
Jesus drove a pickup truck, sandwiched between the tanks on both sides of the road. He saw so many steel monsters passing by, and his sense of security was off the charts.
The officers of the tank regiment had already ordered all crews to clear the way and cease firing. The Shandingzhai convoy was driving in the middle of the tank regiment and there was no risk of accidental injuries at all.
"Wuhu!! This is so cool!!"
On the pickup truck, the men cheered excitedly as they looked at the tank team that blocked the tide of zombies for them.
“It’s really cool…”
At this moment, Jesus had to admit that he was wrong. The Destiny Position was indeed heading in both directions towards the Hilltop Village.
The tank regiment opened up a bright road for everyone in the midst of the black tide of zombies!
......
The town of Richmond is the closest point to Washington on the entire line of defense.
The tank regiment that had just arrived in the town knocked down some buildings and opened up the defensive position requested by the commander.
There are not many zombies in Richmond Town. The search team passed by here several times when they went to the community and killed the violent zombies and ordinary zombies that occupied the town in the past over and over again.
The tank regiment's command vehicle stopped in an open space in the town, and the commander was contacting the rear, urging the transport and engineering troops.
The tank regiment's reconnaissance means are not limited to drones in the sky. Two helicopters that came with the team are refueling and preparing to fly at low altitude to explore the surrounding areas.
Of the three major defensive strongholds, only Richmond is free of pressure and can deploy more tactical means.
Xia Ludi Town was second. Zhang Qiang was carrying a machine gun and rushing into the zombies with his body. He even went deep into some alleys, stepped on the corpses on the ground, suppressed the incoming zombies and shot them.
