Act 79 The Calamity of the Undead
Lu Shengjun quickly climbed into the reconnaissance turret. With the help of the ascending high-power telescope, he could vaguely see the dense and dense undead walking slowly like ants in the distance.
It’s a pity that it’s raining heavily and the light is dim and the sight is not very good.
"Let's go up and see clearly."
"yes!"
After the reconnaissance vehicle got a little closer, Lu Shengjun could finally see it clearly, but after seeing it clearly, there was only shock and horror. He had only seen such terrifying scenes in the movies, such as endless sea of undead, skeleton soldiers, corpse ghosts, and undead cavalry riding on skeleton horses. The entire land was covered by these things, and it was really like a tide!
Walking in front of the undead tide was a small group of strange guys riding skeleton horses and wearing cloaks, but it was easy to see that the core of the undead army was a group of strange guys.
According to experience, these weird undeads should be higher-level middle-level undeads. The gap between the middle-level undeads is absolute. Only higher-level undeads can gather lower-level undeads to form an army.
But what surprised Lu Shengjun was that the number of undead army was too large this time, and it was not like the number of middle-level undead that could gather.
"Are there any advanced undead here that has never appeared before?"
Lu Shengjun could not confirm his speculation, but it was irrelevant to the current situation. The direction of the undead moving is exactly the direction of the Storm Base. The most important task now is to inform the base to prepare for the undead tide!
"The base must be notified immediately!"
…………………………
On the new day, Bai Gang was sitting on a chair and enjoying a rare leisure time, but he received an emergency communication from Major General Le.
As soon as the video was connected, Major General Le started shouting in a hurry.
"Major Bai, emergency situation! Investigators found that a large number of undeads were heading south! The most conservative estimate is that the number of undeads will not be less than 30,000, and there are likely to be high-level undeads!
Based on the direction they are currently marching, we estimate that the undead army will eventually arrive at the Storm Base, and for you, the more troublesome thing is that the undead will pass by your place-Trumen Base before reaching the Storm Base!"
Truman Base is located northeast of the Storm Base. If you want to reach the Storm Base, although you don’t have to pass through Truman Base, unfortunately they will crush them from the Truman Base from the direction of the undead tide. No one thinks that those brainless bones will not go straight and inexplicably draw a circle in front of Truman Base.
When Bai Gang heard the news about Major General Le, his brows immediately frowned. He had never heard of such a thing in his previous life!? The army of undeads with a scale of more than 30,000 is indeed impossible to pull up by the middle-level undead alone. There must be high-level undead participation. It is definitely not a pseudo-high-level man named gargoyles with high-level undeads, but in addition to being able to fly and number, it is completely a mid-level template.
It seems that the future is probably changed to an unrecognizable face by myself to a large extent. In my previous life, this kind of undead tide would have to wait at least two years before it appeared.
Bai Gang sighed. Although the advantage of losing the prescient awareness made people feel disappointed, this actually shows that he is helping this life get rid of the fate of his previous life. In general, it should be considered a good phenomenon. After all, no matter how bad the future is, it will not be worse than the previous life.
"Okay, I understand." Bai Gang sighed and said, "How much time do we have and when will we start evacuating?"
Major General Le said: "The movement speed of the undead is not fast. You should have two and a half days to three days to prepare.
However, the personnel evacuated in advance can only be researchers and other non-combatants, and the combatants at Truman base have other tasks."
"Another task?"
"Yes." Major General Le sighed, "You also know the current situation of Storm Base. I need Truman Base as a blocking position to resist the undead for a period of time, and you, as the commander of the Exploration Force, are unanimously convinced that it is appropriate to hand over the defensive command of Truman Base to you."
The appearance of the undead at this time is a very headache-inducing problem. The exterior wall of the Storm Base is still under intense construction. A large amount of materials were misappropriated in order to build the Truman Base, which caused the construction progress of the Storm Base to almost completely stagnate. So far, only about 60% of it has been completed, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is full of holes.
Therefore, once the Storm Base is attacked by such a large scale, the losses will inevitably be huge, which is something no one wants to see.
In comparison, although the situation at Truman Base is far from good, it was originally a "reality show filming site" for the indigenous people. The wall was indeed real, but in order to get through the wall, the scale of the wall was even worse than that of a larger prison. Only a few machine guns on the watchtower were able to shoot across the wall.
But despite this, Truman Base has at least a complete wall, but this is much better than Storm Base. This is also the reason why Major General Le and his team hope that Truman Base can hold back the dead.
However, no one thought that the target of the undead was not the Storm Base at all. They were just following the traces of the expedition, and the target was the Truman Base.
Bai Gang didn't know what kind of guy the high-level in the undead army was, but with the current situation of Truman's base, they would have to pay a huge price to resist them, but... they had no choice.
"Sir, I will mobilize all forces to resist the attacks of the undead, but if the number of enemies is really as you said, then I must have some reinforcements. You also know that Truman's base is just a fake base for being blinded."
Major General Le said, "I will provide you with ammunition and personnel, but the supplementary work will be carried out at night. I don't want those indigenous people to know that we have another base. We cannot predict how the indigenous people will react after they know our true identities. Before we can absolutely ensure safety, the identities of our visitors from another world must not be exposed!"
Bai Gang nodded and said, "This is necessary to keep it secret. I will pay attention to Dilitean and the others' movements. So, how much force will I get in the end?"
Major General Le said embarrassedly: "There were 214 combatants in the Truman base, and then the 344 reinforcements were added to you. That's all.
You don’t have to worry about weapons. No matter what kind of gun you need, it’s okay. Even one heavy machine gun is perfectly OK, but heavy weapons... I’m very sorry, the situation of the Storm Base is very bad now, and there is still a long section of the wall that has not been repaired. After all, the portal is here, and we need to leave enough defense means."
Bai Gang frowned: "In other words, I don't have any heavy firepower on hand?"
"At least there is no problem with mortars." Major General Le said, "In addition, you only need to resist for two days. After two days, you can choose the time to retreat by yourself. By the way, indigenous people, you must try to ensure safety and bring them here when you retreat."
Bai Gang frowned: "But if that happens, the Storm Base will be exposed to the indigenous people. It is risky. Even if they don't have any ideas about us, it does not mean that the forces behind them will not. Maybe I can arrange a convoy to send them away."
"No, that's too dangerous! For the information that the indigenous people have, the necessary risks must also be borne."
