Darkness is Coming

  The smell of gunpowder smoke and blood was so strong that the wind could not disperse, and the rain could not stop it. Bones were piled up all over the ground, and there was no clean place on the vast ground, either covered by corpses or stained red with blood.

Under the city wall of the South City Gate, the shredded corpses of the mutants piled up into a slope, and a figure shrouded in shadow was stepping on the **** to climb the city wall. 100 meters away. As if to greet him, the long spears and short cannons on the city wall were all mute, and only the sound of the wind blowing from the north was quietly heard.

   "Run out of bullets?" asked the man who climbed the city wall.

"Not yet, I am replenishing ammunition, but the logistics can't keep up." The officer in charge of guarding the southern city wall replied mechanically, his face was stiff and numb, and his eyes stared blankly at the long road of bones that spread for thousands of meters outside the city. A nightmarish sea of ​​corpses appeared, and they were expected to face the next round of offensive in three minutes.

  From the beginning of defending the city to the present, the Nancheng Gate has resisted nine attacks one after another, destroying tens of thousands of zombies, but those disgusting things are still coming in waves like waves, never ending.

   "Let Bao Wei's family come over to report." Yang Xiaoqian frowned secretly as he looked at the officer. The mental state of many ordinary soldiers was on the verge of collapse. Even if they returned alive, they would probably leave a lifetime of psychological trauma.

   "President, Battalion Commander Bao died."

   "Huh?" Yang Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, and the officer repeated it again: "Battle battalion commander died, he took the third company of the male barracks down to the heavy cavalry battalion, and never came back."

   "Oh, who is commanding Naxiong Barracks now?" Yang Xiaoqian didn't feel much. There were so many deaths that he couldn't remember, and now even he was gradually becoming numb.

   "It should be the Captain Yu of the Machine Gun Company."

   "Let him come over to report." Yang Xiaoqian waved his hand, and the officer signaled the attendant to look for someone. After a while, the attendant ran back all the way, panting and giving Yang Xiaoqian a military salute.

   "Report, Captain Yu died."

   "Um...forget it."

  Yang Xiaoqian stopped talking, raised his head and looked at the sky. That day was covered with heavy rain clouds, and it was gray.

   "President." Fang Yu stood behind Yang Xiaoqian and looked up at the sky together. The dome had locked them up for so long, and he almost couldn't remember the original appearance of the sky.

  Tang Tao took off his helmet and walked behind Yang Xiaoqian, beside him Xu Le, Qi Lie, Qi Xinwu and the other still alive Awakeners gradually gathered.

   "Wipe the nosebleed from your face." Yang Xiaoqian didn't look back, he stood on the edge of the city wall with his hands behind his back and said.

   The Awakened raised their hands to wipe the nosebleeds from their faces, and began to tidy up their messy hair and clothes. Even if you don't have the energy to fight again, you have to die in a decent way. You have to be like President Yang, and you can't lose your demeanor.

   "Boom"

   "Boom"

   "Boom"

There was a dull sound on the ground. It wasn't the pile driver that was driving the ground, but a giant ten meters tall was walking towards the Xinyuan River. He took a big step and stepped on it, and all the corpses under his feet were crushed. mashed meat.

"The ground artillery regiment's shells are empty." The officer in charge of defending the city took out the pistol in the holster. This small-caliber gun is enough to fight zombies, and it is even more impossible to deal with the mutant and the giant corpse like the devil. . The officer opened the safety and there was only one bullet in the gun, the glorious bullet he had prepared for himself.

   Yang Xiaoqian raised his telescope and saw a high chair made of bones standing on top of the giant corpse's head, and the chair was empty.

   "It's a pity." Yang Xiaoqian sighed, put down the telescope, turned his head and was about to speak, but heard a song coming from far, far behind.

  Fang Yu's expression lifted when she heard the song, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking that her lover should not be in danger again, Fang Yu put down her worries, calmed down in her heart, and hummed along unconsciously.

   Several soldiers in the back put down their guns and started raising the flag, singing the national anthem while raising the flag. At first, only a few people sang along, and when the five-star red flag gradually rose to the top of the flagpole and fluttered in the wind, many people joined them. Those Awakened who followed Yang Xiaoqian and looked up at the sky also turned around and stared at the national flag.

The same is true for Tang Tao. He carefully recalled when and where the last time he watched the flag raising so seriously, was watching the live broadcast of the Olympic opening ceremony at home, or standing on the school playground wearing a red scarf more than ten years ago and swearing to be honorable. Pioneers?

"President, thank you." Fang Yu took another step closer, stood by Yang Xiaoqian's left hand, and said with a smile, "If I say something, don't be too old-fashioned, it's my honor to fight alongside you. I can follow you around."

   "Don't, be an ordinary person in your next life, it's good to be carefree." Yang Xiaoqian turned his head, a smile appeared on his tired face, Fang Yu could see the incomprehensible ease on his face.

   "You think we are going to die? The atmosphere is so tragic." Yang Xiaoqian smiled, "Did you think I was looking up at the sky and pretending to be literary?"

   shook his head to himself, Yang Xiaoqian stretched his finger and pointed forward, the giant corpse was rushing over with the sea of ​​corpses, less than a kilometer away from the city wall.

   "Prepare to evacuate."

"What?" Fang Yu was stunned. The people in Xinyuanjiang City have all been evacuated. They really don't need to continue to hold on, but everyone is exhausted. Where to go?

   "Order all the ministries to evacuate the city walls and find shelter. Our mission is complete, and the rest will be left to the People's Guard."

More than an hour has passed since Liu Yuanzhou left the Xinyuan River. The outside military must have some understanding of the current situation of the Yuanjiang River. After all, this is a time of war, and there will not be too many cumbersome procedures, from obtaining information to confirming the location and then implementing it. Action, an hour is enough.

  Perhaps for the sake of prudence, the Second Army will not send troops into the city immediately, but to solve the sea of ​​corpses outside Xinyuanjiang City, it may not necessarily require troops to enter the city.

Dozens of kilometers away, the People's Guard Navy fleet entered the waters of Jiangxin Island. Although the ships were not equipped with ship-to-surface missiles due to insufficient tonnage, they could use vehicle-mounted cruise missiles to transform into ship-borne cruise missiles, which still remained at this distance. Long-range ground strike capability.

   Above the clouds, the tactical bomber formation with air-to-surface missiles and guided missiles confirmed the target and began to carry out the bombing mission.

   Nandu Military Region, the fighter jet group and the armed helicopter group took off one after another, gradually dispersed into a fan during the flight, and flew to Xinyuanjiang to prepare for the second clearing.

   There seemed to be more shells and missiles than raindrops falling from the sky, and the sea of ​​corpses outside Xinyuanjiang City was engulfed by the earth-shattering explosion.
