Chapter 98 Raid on the Dock
The Tumen River in winter has lost its majesty as a big river, leaving only a silent ice surface covered with snow and ice. If it were before the end of the world, there would be many people digging into the ice to fish in winter, and there would also be many children sliding on the ice. The ice car was playing, but now, there was nothing on the ice, only snow foam blown by the cold wind.
The First Pier is quietly located fifteen kilometers upstream of the estuary of the Tumen River. This is an ancient wharf. In the Qing Dynasty, shipping was developed here and freight was frequent. It was called the Golden Waterway of the East at that time, and it was the gateway to the Northeast. Prosperity is inseparable from the contribution of this outlet to the sea, but with a treaty, this outlet in the Northeast has been completely closed, and now only tourists can enjoy the river view.
At this time, there were many figures swaying on the pier, and the cold wind and snow blew the dirty and torn clothes of these "people". There are many speedboats and wooden pleasure boats parked beside Mantou, which have been frozen and become one with the surface. Next to these ships, there is a large ship with a total length of more than 70 meters and a height of five stories. It is silver-white and blends with the ice and snow. Wang Jingrong had been on a battleship once before, but it was a combat ship, not a cruise ship. From a distance, the cruise ship looked more beautiful and soft, but now this softness was completely destroyed by the zombies wandering on the plywood. .
Since there were many cabins in the cruise ship, Wang Jingrong couldn't tell how many zombies were hidden in the ship and what kind of zombies they were, so he could only resort to his old plan and have people light firecrackers, causing the constant crackling sound. Disturbing the tranquility of this apocalyptic dock. As a result, zombies hiding in every corner came from all directions, with a number of no less than 300, including many mutated zombies.
Wang Jingrong had already made arrangements to set up many traps at the sound of firecrackers, such as bamboo gun traps, nail board traps, and even mine arrays. However, these traps took Wang Jingrong a lot of effort. In this winter, digging the ground and digging holes was a strenuous job. It took Wang Jingrong a whole day to set them up.
There are a lot of zombies here, at least five or six hundred. I think there were a lot of people traveling here, which is why there were so many zombies. There were all kinds of zombies in the group of corpses. Wang Jingrong even saw a giant zombie through the telescope, which made Wang Jingrong more vigilant.
Sure enough, it was different with the giant zombies. When the zombies surrounded the firecrackers, they did not rush up in a group, but ordinary zombies in an orderly manner explored the way in front, the mutant zombies followed closely, and the giant zombies followed. Pressure the battle. Therefore, when the ordinary zombies stepped on the pits and nail boards, the giant zombies decisively stopped moving forward, and at this time, the sound of firecrackers also stopped.
Wang Jingrong saw that the zombies had not completely entered the trap area, and there were less than thirty dead zombies. This made Wang Jingrong a little anxious. Five to six hundred zombies was not a small number. It would be absolutely impossible for him to fight against this number of zombies. There were heavy casualties. In the last battle in Fangchuan Village, he had a geographical advantage and many soldiers were injured. This was a dock and there were not many favorable terrains available. This made Wang Jingrong temporarily ran out of ideas.
While Wang Jingrong kept using his telescope to find the place where the body was buried, Wu Cheng came over and said, "Captain Wang, why don't we write something on the ice?"
Wang Jingrong put down the telescope and asked, "Oh? Why are you writing on the ice?"
Wu Cheng said: "The ice here looks very thick, but it is actually much thinner than upstream. It is only less than fifty centimeters. It is no problem to leave, but if explosives are placed under the ice, it will definitely explode the ice. We originally This is how we break ice and sail.”
"How deep is this water?" Wang Jingrong asked again.
"The water here is about six or seven meters deep, which is barely enough for a cruise ship to sail." Wu Cheng said nothing about his profession.
Wang Jingrong thought for a moment, then patted Wu Cheng on the shoulder: "Okay, let's fight the zombies on the ice."
Early the next morning, zombies were still hanging around the cruise ship. The giant zombies stood on the bow of the ship, looking around and patrolling their territory. Although it was far away from the city and there were not many humans for them to prey on, the natural energy here required It is more abundant than the city, so the evolution speed is not slower than the city. Now this giant zombie is also at level four.
The morning sun shone slantly on the opposite bank, and there were faint shadows of people flickering. What's more important is that as the breeze blew, the wind actually carried the smell of human blood after being injured. This is a smell that the giant zombies will never forget. . So the giant zombie gave orders to the corpse group, and the corpse group began to move to the other side. The zombies soon arrived on the river bank. At this time, the zombies saw a group of people, and the place where these people were exuded a strong smell of blood, which further stimulated the zombies' bloody nature, so the zombies rushed towards the group of people with claws and teeth.
But these people were well prepared, and a hail of arrows came to greet the zombies. The ones rushing in front were all ordinary zombies, and they couldn't resist these arrows at all. The zombies fell down one after another, lying dead and injured on the river bank.
The ordinary zombies in front were blocked, which not only did not make the giant zombie anxious, but also stimulated the giant zombie's ferocity. So the giant zombie jumped directly from the bow of the ship. At a height of more than five meters, the giant zombie did not suffer any harm. The giant zombie fell steadily to the ice, and cracks appeared on the ice due to the huge impact. However, the giant zombie ignored this and directly called his guards, rushing towards the other side in a hurry.
When the giant zombie rushed to the center of the river, a loud noise was heard on the river surface around the giant zombie. A violent explosion directly cracked the ice. The giant zombie slipped and fell directly onto the cracked ice. As the explosion continued to approach, the cracks in the ice became larger and larger. The guards around the giant zombie were constantly swallowed by the holes in the ice that were blown up. The giant zombie The zombie tried to stand up, but the constantly shaking ice cubes made all the efforts of the giant zombie in vain. The giant zombie was shrouded in fear, so the panicked giant zombie used its hidden ability. The giant zombie suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a ball of fire. The fireball directly hit a piece of ice, knocking the huge The ice cubes shattered into pieces. With the help of the reaction force of the fireball eruption, the giant zombie actually slipped out of the explosion area, but the cracking ice surface still chased the zombie. The giant zombie did not dare to neglect, and sprayed out a ball of fire again, and the giant zombie once again moved towards the explosion. Then it slid away. At this time, the giant zombie was less than two meters away from the river bank, which meant that the giant zombie was out of danger.
The giant zombie breathed a sigh of relief and was finally out of danger, so the giant zombie stood up on the shaky ice. However, the giant zombie looked around and saw that there were no guards around him now, and only his lone body was left. One corpse. Just when the giant zombie was thinking about how to make a comeback, suddenly many figures appeared on the river bank. These people were holding bows and arrows. When they saw the giant zombie, they opened their bows and arrows without saying a word, and dozens of bows and arrows rushed towards them. .
The giant zombie is not afraid of ordinary bows and arrows. The giant zombie crosses its arms to protect its head to prevent the weak point of its head from being attacked by bows and arrows. At the same time, the giant zombies took great strides and rushed towards the crowd on the shore. As long as they rushed into the crowd, these weak humans would be the targets of their slaughter. Today, my subordinates were trapped and killed, and they had nowhere to vent their anger. It happened that these unknown people The appearance of dead and alive humans allows one to vent a bit.
But the arrows shot by those on the opposite side were obviously different from ordinary arrows. Although he didn't feel much pain when he was shot down, each arrow made him feel dizzy, and his legs became heavier and heavier. The two-meter-long river bank could usually be crossed in one step, but today, the giant zombie took two steps and still did not cross the two meters. When it took the third step, the giant zombie could no longer take another step and fell directly to its knees on the ground. The giant zombie with red eyes stared unwillingly, opened its mouth, and wanted to turn the anger in his heart into a fireball and spray it into the crowd on the opposite side. However, when he escaped from the ice just now, two fireballs had already destroyed his body. After all the magic points were consumed, Kong let out two roars, and then fell down on the river bank unwillingly.
Wang Jingrong stood on a hill and saw everything through the telescope, including the fact that the giant zombie could breathe fire, which really shocked Wang Jingrong. There have been too many surprises in the past two days, but none of them were as big as the giant zombie that frightened him. In the past, those zombies and mutant beasts with special functions were all encountered by Li Yuanhong. Unfortunately, he also encountered one today. , Fortunately, all the mana of this zombie was consumed by the trap, otherwise a few of his soldiers would have been burned to death today.
