Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 228 Seth's Mission
Hearing Bacchus' words, Seth seemed to recall the brutal battle not long ago. A trace of sadness flashed across his face and he frowned slightly.
"The base was breached in the middle of the battle, because the force used by the enemy to besiege Base 16 was almost equivalent to the strength of a medium-sized legion base of the Alliance, and Base 16 was just a small base..." After a moment of silence, Seth continued to explain, "But at that time, the Alliance had already gained the upper hand in the battle!"
"Also, after a fierce battle, although there were only a few hundred thousand soldiers left in the base, we have already wiped out all the enemies!" Seth emphasized, looking a little excited, as if he thought that the victory of this battle should have belonged to the Alliance...
"But... no one expected that when the remaining Alliance soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield... those enemies that had long been dead suddenly 'came back to life' and began to bite the nearby Alliance soldiers like wild beasts..." When Seth said this, he seemed to have remembered something extremely terrifying. His eyes were filled with fear and his face turned pale.
"Let me talk next..." At this moment, Li Jiu suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head, and stood up.
After hearing this, he had already guessed what would happen after this battle...
Suddenly, Li Jiu's voice was heard, and everyone's attention was drawn to him.
“Next, those soldiers who were bitten to death or injured became the zombies outside. And you guys must have been not present at the time because of other things, so you escaped.” Li Jiu looked at Seth and others and said calmly.
“That’s right… Brother Li Jiu, you’re right.” Seth nodded. “The soldiers who were bitten at that time quickly turned into zombies. Then the soldiers who turned into zombies went to bite other soldiers… Before long, the remaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers all turned into zombies outside…”
"However, most of the zombies outside are actually the defenders who died in the battle..." Seth added, then turned around to look at the twenty or thirty men beside him, and said with some guilt: "As for us, we did have an important mission to do at the time, so we hid in this shelter and escaped that disaster. We also saw the situation outside through the monitoring system here..."
After hearing Seth's story, the team members couldn't help but sigh. The enemy of the Defender Empire was really cunning. They actually used the dead to trick the alliance before the battle was over.
"It seems that the enemy is well prepared this time... I'm afraid they have already prepared some kind of biochemical virus that can turn humans into zombies, and have injected that biochemical virus into the ordinary clone soldiers controlled by the 'God' in advance." Li Jiu speculated.
Then, after Li Jiu pondered for a moment, he suddenly frowned and glanced at Seth and others with great interest.
"By the way, Seth, why are you still staying here? With your weapons and equipment, you should be able to break out, right? Or do you have other tasks that have not been completed, so you have to stay here?" Li Jiu looked at Seth and asked.
"Yes, with the equipment we have now, it is not difficult to rush out." Seth nodded, "Now except for a few of us, there are zombies everywhere outside, and there is no living person... If it weren't for the important mission that has not been completed, we actually don't want to stay in this damn place."
"Oh? I wonder if you would be willing to reveal the content of your mission? Maybe we can be of some help." Li Jiu asked curiously.
"Actually, this isn't that inconvenient. It's not a classified mission anyway." Seth smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We only have one mission here, which is to activate the self-destruct device of Base 16 and destroy the entire base."
"Destroy the entire base?!" Li Jiu was slightly surprised.
"Yes!" Seth nodded, his expression very serious, "This mission was ordered to me by the general himself before the war started."
"Huh? Before the battle started? What on earth is going on?" Li Jiu frowned, confused.
"Well... To be honest, even I don't understand why the general gave me such an order before the battle even started..." Seth also had a puzzled look on his face, and told the story of accepting the mission, "At that time, after we encountered the enemy's Hunter vehicle in the valley, I guessed that the enemy might be planning to attack the base, so after separating from you, I immediately rushed back to the base and reported the matter to the superiors..."
"Originally, I was worried whether the higher-ups in the base would believe my intelligence... but I didn't expect that the general would summon me alone not long after I reported the intelligence... At that time, the general seemed to believe in my intelligence... and he asked me to hide in this shelter until the battle was completely over. And if Base No. 16 loses the battle, then I will be responsible for initiating the base's self-destruction program..." Seth recalled.
"Later, when I saw that all the enemies were wiped out, I thought I didn't have to carry out this mission anymore, and I was even ready to take my brothers out... But I never expected the result would be like this..." Seth said with a wry smile.
The base is now full of zombies, and the entire base has been destroyed beyond recognition. In Seth's opinion, the Alliance has naturally lost this battle , so he decided to follow the general's order and activate the base's self-destruction program.
"Is this task difficult to complete? Why haven't you finished it yet?" After listening to Seth's story, Li Jiu pondered for a moment and asked.
"Yes, this mission is indeed very difficult... Even with you guys included, the hope is very slim..." Seth said helplessly.
"Oh? Why?" Li Jiu frowned slightly.
"Because, in order to activate the base's self-destruct system , we must enter the main control room in the center of the base, and that place... is now crowded with hundreds of thousands of zombies..." Seth explained, looking a little embarrassed. "In fact, before you came, we tried many times, but not only could we not get through, but every time we tried, we attracted more zombies..."
After hearing Seth's reason, Li Jiu and his team members couldn't help but look shocked.
Hundreds of thousands of zombies? Without weapons of mass destruction, it would be difficult for just a few dozen people with light weapons to rush through...
"Then what are you going to do? If you can't complete the task, are you going to just stay?" After being stunned for a moment, Li Jiu looked at Seth and asked.
"I don't know..." Seth shook his head, looking a little confused. "But I think I should at least try for a while. If there is really no way in the end, then... let's talk about it then... "
After hearing this, Li Jiu could only sigh secretly.
Although he wanted to help Seth, he was helpless because he was unable to do so.
After all, although he was confident, he didn't think he could fight against hundreds of thousands of zombies by himself...
"By the way, brother Li Jiu, since you have already seen the battle situation at the base, why did you come back?" Seth was silent for a while, then looked at Li Jiu and asked.
