Seeing the dense crowd of zombies before him, Li Hang hurriedly took out his walkie-talkie and called Li Yu and the others over.
Li Yu was just coming back from a run and about to take a shower when he heard the message from Li Hang on the walkie-talkie, and suddenly he couldn't continue his shower.
He wiped his body in a hurry, then used the walkie-talkie to contact Uncle, Second Uncle, Yang Tianlong, and others, asking them to hurry over.
He changed his clothes, took his long knife, and after a thought, also took his submachine gun.
On the way to the gate, he felt somewhat exhausted, day and night running for his life because of the zombies.
It seemed like no matter how many zombies were killed, they would never end. Speaking of zombies, he had also wondered how exactly they came into being.
Before his rebirth, there was no unified explanation for the source of the end-of-the-world outbreak.
But the most widely accepted theory was that it was a virus leaked by a global biopharmaceutical company!
He was not very convinced by this explanation,
originally he thought the outbreak would occur on November 25th, but before that, when he went to pick up Uncle, he had already encountered zombies!
This suggests that the virus may have been lurking in human bodies for a long time, and zombies had appeared a long time ago.
It was only because the information was censored that he had believed it erupted on the 25th.
When exactly did the zombies form? What conspiracy lies behind the zombie outbreak?
Li Yu saw that he was nearly at the gate and could faintly hear the roar of the zombies.
He shook his head, temporarily pushing those thoughts aside.
He quickly climbed up the observation tower, where Li Hang and Li Haoran were already present.
As he slowly scaled the observation tower, with less obstruction from the wall, Li Yu could see more and more zombies.
Until he stood firm on the observation tower, looking at the dense mass of zombies in front of him, he estimated there were over a thousand!
Hiss...
Li Yu sharply inhaled a breath of cold air...
There were simply too many zombies...
From the forest side, they kept coming out non-stop, the wall hundreds of meters long was crowded beneath, filled with zombies.
Looking at the zombie tide, dense like ants, Li Yu's heart sank.
He turned his head and looked seriously at Li Hang, asking, "When did they appear? Why would so many zombies suddenly show up?"
Li Hang recalled carefully, and said with some embarrassment, "I was just reading a novel, and by the time I noticed, there were already a lot of zombies..."
Li Yu was a bit angry, wanting to slap him.
In the end, his hand stopped mid-air; he could actually understand him, after all, standing duty was too boring, one couldn't stare at the dark forest all the time.
Finally, he sighed and shook his hand.
Seeing Li Yu react like this, Li Hang felt somewhat guilty and said, "I won't dare do it again..."
Li Yu didn't speak, looking at Uncle and the others who had caught up, he asked, "Who's in the monitoring room today?"
At these words, Uncle was taken aback, somewhat puzzled, but still answered, "Today it's Lai Dongsheng's second daughter, Lai Jiaqi on duty, what's the matter?"
Li Yu's gaze turned serious, and he did not immediately answer Uncle's question.
He had specifically chosen this hidden place to build the base, so how could a zombie tide have formed?
Zombies have an extremely sensitive sense of smell, they are attracted by the scent of humans, especially fresh blood, which can greatly stimulate them and even make the zombies become more violent.
Looking at the zombies under the wall, Li Yu felt a headache, although for the time being the zombies could not enter the base.
But if the zombies keep gathering like this, constantly and without end, if they become too numerous, even with the protection of the electric fence, there's a possibility that they might break through!
Li Yu originally wanted to go to the surveillance room to see what was going on, since the presence of so many zombies definitely indicated a problem!
But at this stage, the immediate priority was to deal with the zombies first!
With the situation urgent, Li Yu had Li Hang ring the alarm bell, summoning everyone at the base to gather.
At the same time, he asked his fourth uncle, Li Hongcheng, to go to the observation tower on the mountain top to check the surroundings, not just the front, but also whether zombies were appearing from the left, right, or back, and also to check the surveillance room to see when the zombies had appeared.
Looking at the dense mass of zombies, everyone who had climbed the observation tower was somewhat at a loss, as this was their first encounter with a zombie tide.
Li Yu looked down at everyone gathered beneath the observation tower and said seriously, without any nonsense, "There's a zombie tide outside now, the walls are surrounded by zombies. We all need to work together to take them down!"
Yang Tianlong was the first to concur, saying, "Yu, what's there to say, let's hurry to the top!"
Zhao Dapao nodded in agreement on one side, and even Lai Xiyue's face looked tense, as if she had made a great resolve to combat the zombies.
There were three observation towers in front, with each capable of accommodating about seven people.
They had bought twenty crossbows, as well as numerous long knives, swords, and spears.
They had guns, but limited ammunition to save for critical moments, whereas arrows from crossbows could be retrieved, which is why they mainly used crossbows this time.
Distributing the crossbows and spears, but at this moment, Yang Tianlong took the initiative to find Li Yu and said, "Zhao used to play with crossbows often, and had great spear skills in the army. Amongst us, he's the best. Give the crossbow to him, he's incredibly accurate!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yu took a serious look at Yang Tianlong, and finally, seeing the clear gaze in Tianlong's eyes, he still handed a crossbow to Zhao Dapao.
Soon, those with crossbows were standing on the observation towers.
Since not everyone could fit on the observation towers, for the time being, some were stationed there to shoot, while others poked at zombies with spears from the over six-meter-high wall.
This was everyone's first encounter with a zombie tide, and they were all a bit nervous, but seeing Li Yu arranging everything methodically gave them some confidence.
On the observation tower, Zhao Dapao got a compound crossbow, hefted it, and exclaimed, "This quality of nearly 20,000 yuan is great!"
Hearing this, Li Yu felt that Zhao Dapao was quite discerning, immediately recognizing the brand of the product.
Without further discussion, as zombies were gathering in increasing numbers, lingering around the walls of the base for a long time without dispersing.
Li Yu was puzzled, ordinarily, zombies would go into a frenzy due to some stimulation, if, after a period, they heard no loud noises or smelled human scent, they would naturally disperse.
Why were these zombies continuously circling the walls?
Li Yu couldn't figure it out, but what was more important now was to eliminate them!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The people on the observation tower shot arrows at the zombies, but most didn't have very good aim, and Li Yu's face darkened a bit upon seeing this scene—practice was still needed!
On the other hand, Zhao Dapao almost took down one zombie with each arrow, sometimes even skewering several zombies together.
Li Yu watched him and nodded. It seemed Zhao Dapao felt Li Yu's gaze, became a bit embarrassed, and scratching his head, he said, "I used to like practicing aimlessly."
Li Yu didn't say more, lifted his crossbow and started shooting at the zombies, hitting almost every shot.
Seeing this, Zhao Dapao looked towards Li Yu with a trace of recognition in his gaze.
At this moment, the voice of the Second Uncle suddenly came through the walkie-talkie: "Xiaoyu! Someone's sabotaging. I checked the surveillance video in the control room and discovered someone poured something on our walls, deliberately attracting zombies here!"
Li Yu, upon hearing this, shot an arrow with great force, piercing three zombies in a row.
His face as still as water, a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes!
Speaking icily, he said, "I intended to avoid trouble, but it seems someone still dares to provoke me, eh?"
