Chapter 297: The City is Broken, Falling from the Sky
Roars rang out, and in just a few minutes, thousands of shells fell among the group of monsters, causing violent explosions.
Nearly 10,000 crazy monsters were hit by the shockwaves and debris from the explosion and were knocked to the ground. Some were even thrown more than ten meters away by the air waves caused by the shockwaves.
However, except for more than a thousand monsters that were directly hit by the shells and blown into pieces, most of the others seemed to feel no pain at all. They got up and continued to rush towards the direction of Jinling City!
Their eyes looked even more ferocious!
At this moment, the fierce artillery bombardment coming from Jinling City suddenly slowed down. The originally dense artillery shells became sparse in an instant, and it sounded like only dozens of artillery pieces were bombarding continuously.
"What are those bastards in the artillery regiment doing!? Why aren't they firing?!" Zhang Jindou looked at the Jinling city behind him and cursed. Hundreds of grassroots officers turned around and looked back with him, all of them were filled with anger. Without the support of powerful firepower, how could they fight these monsters? Close-range bayonet fight! ?
After just one look, everyone fell silent.
I saw that at the artillery position not far from the city wall, hundreds of large holes with a diameter of three to five meters had been opened on the ground at some point in time . A large number of monsters were swarming out of them and pounced on the humans nearby!
The thousands of soldiers in the artillery regiment were caught off guard, and hundreds of them were torn to pieces by the monsters. The rest grabbed the light weapons around them and started to fight back while trying to maintain the scale of the bombardment.
However, the weapons in their hands had no power against these nearly immortal monsters. Zhang Jindou saw with his own eyes that an artilleryman even held on to his gun position a second before his death and fired his last shell!
Because they knew that every artillery shell fired could kill an enemy for their comrades on the front line, bringing a little safety to the ruined city of Jinling.
After being scratched and bitten by the monsters, the first reaction of these soldiers was to turn their guns around and shoot themselves in the head! Otherwise, in just a few dozen seconds, they themselves might become one of the monsters.
Fortunately, a few minutes later, the reserve team on standby nearby rushed over and suppressed the monsters with their numerical advantage, and blew up most of the underground passages. However, these reserve team members were basically young children and the elderly, women and children, and suffered heavy casualties in the battle with the monsters.
Zhang Jindou wiped the corners of his eyes, knowing that his children and family might be among those people, but he couldn't care less at this moment.
Zhao Chuan stopped trembling and stood up straight like a straight javelin, holding the rifle tightly in his hand.
Those monsters had come to a place less than one thousand meters away from the city wall of Jinling City. Zhang Jindou could even see the hair on the flying monsters in the front.
"Fight!" A sharp but slightly tragic voice sounded from the loudspeaker on the city wall. It was the commander of this broken army.
The first to open fire came from more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns and twenty quadruple-fire anti-aircraft machine guns.
The bullets that were ejected formed long whips of fire, lashing towards the monsters that were constantly approaching in the sky. Some monsters that were flying closer were directly torn into pieces by the whips of fire formed by bullets, and some were blown up by anti-aircraft guns in mid-air.
At the same time, dozens of individual rockets were fired from the city wall, killing dozens of monsters in an instant.
However, the expressions of those soldiers became more solemn, because they saw with their own eyes that among the monster group, several guys who looked like leaders were only slightly injured after being hit by rockets!
"Ah--" A scream was heard. A soldier standing on the top of the city wall uttered a mournful cry and was grabbed directly by a monster with a human head and a mechanical lower body in the sky, and then thrown into the sky.
Immediately, a dozen flying monsters snatched the warrior away, pulled him into pieces in the air, and a rain of blood spread out.
Similar scenes were played out in dozens of places, and in almost every place one or more human warriors were torn to pieces. The monsters seemed to enjoy this "game" very much, even if they were directly blown to pieces.
Although this scene was tragic, the human warriors on the top of the city all looked solemn and calm, without any panic. Obviously, this was not the first time they had faced such a situation. Although they looked shabby, this team was definitely an iron-blooded team that had fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
"Da da da da..." The guns in the hands of the soldiers on the city walls finally spewed out angry flames. They were close enough. The monsters running rapidly under the city, the front wave had already reached the foot of the city wall of Jinling City!
"Go to hell! Go to hell!" Zhao Chuan yelled madly, aiming his automatic rifle at the monsters climbing up the city wall, no longer showing his cowardice. His marksmanship was pretty good, with an average of seven or eight bullets hitting the head. All human warriors knew that only by shooting at the head and destroying their central nervous system could they be killed completely!
Zhao Chuan kept pulling the trigger, but his heart calmed down. The deafening sound of gunfire rang in his ears, but it seemed that the person shooting was not himself, but another person, and he was just an observer. More blood flowers bloomed on the city wall, including the flesh and blood of monsters and humans.
Who would have thought that the city wall of Jinling City, a thousand-year-old capital, would play a role again thousands of years later and become a barrier for humans to resist monster attacks. However, there were too many battles here, and even after several reinforcements, the city wall was already riddled with holes.
I heard that there is a Dawn Party in the southwest. They have built a paradise-like place with enough food, strong power, and no fear of any monsters. Their leader seems to be called Lifeng. It would be great if I could go there one day...
Suddenly, Zhao Chuan "saw" his body being blocked by a huge shadow. While he was stunned, a huge force hit his shoulder and knocked him out.
When he turned around again, he saw a huge bat-like flying monster with its sharp front claws piercing into Zhang Jindou's chest!
Just now at that critical moment, Zhang Jindou saved his life!
"Lao Zhang!" Zhao Chuan shouted, his mind going blank.
"You son of a bitch... you're just daydreaming..." Zhang Jindou cursed with blood flowing from his mouth. After smashing the head of the big bat in front of him with the machine gun in his hand, he turned the gun into his own mouth without hesitation and pulled the trigger!
"Fuck your mother!" Zhao Chuan roared madly and rushed forward desperately. He raised his gun and fired wildly at the monsters that were climbing up under the city wall, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart.
Looking at the entire Jinling City wall battle zone, there are too many similar scenes. The number of monsters that appeared this time has completely exceeded the limit of Jinling City's defensive power. Breaching has appeared in many places of the entire defense line. Many monsters have even climbed up the city wall and slaughtered the human soldiers with weak defensive power!
"Special forces, move out! Special forces, move out! Drive those monsters away!" Orders came again from several loudspeakers.
Immediately, about fifty or sixty figures jumped out from a tower on the city wall. They were divided into five or six teams of ten and rushed towards various crisis locations.
Among these people, some are extremely fast, some are extremely tall, with explosive muscles all over their bodies, and many of them have flames burning or white cold air on their bodies.
They are all mutants!
However, most of the so-called special forces were wrapped in layers of bandages, and some even had their arms in slings, obviously all of them were seriously injured. Moreover, their number was too small, and for the entire city wall war zone, it was completely a drop in the bucket.
Sure enough, after these people joined in, they were able to hold on for a while, and even drove down many monsters that climbed up the city wall. But after just over ten minutes, a monster with three heads and a chariot as its lower body suddenly let out a crazy roar, and immediately all the monsters on the battlefield rushed up madly as if they had been injected with chicken blood!
"Ka, ka, ka..." Zhao Chuan finished firing a magazine of bullets, replaced the last magazine, and fired again. At this time, he was completely numb both mentally and physically. I don't know how many monsters have climbed up the city wall. There were only a few dozen special forces mutant soldiers, and now there are less than 20 left.
"This time... it's over. Looks like I have to go find Captain Yang... That's good." Zhao Chuan suddenly showed a calm smile. Not far in front of him, three huge monsters had climbed up the city wall and pounced on him...
At this moment, the sky suddenly became bright, as if the sun appeared again, illuminating the world! This bright light made everyone who was fighting, including the monsters, lose their minds slightly, and their movements stopped for a few seconds, looking up at the sky.
A huge roar came from the sky, and a fireball as big as a house fell from the sky and landed among the densely packed monsters in front of Jinling City!
