Volume 2 The more labor you bring, the greater your responsibility Chapter 66: Deployment
"Since Senzu Beans can be used together with Energy Crystal Cores, then... I will make more Senzu Beans next. Otherwise, if I eat three Senzu Beans at most, I will overdraw my body's energy. If I want to last longer, I still have to rely on my Senzu Beans!"
Shen Jin was making food while walking towards Xianghai Community in the north of Hongshui Bay.
"I have a magic bean!"
Shen Jin directly put what he had transformed into his backpack for storage.
"According to the defense route we prepared... the entire community in front, no! These communities are the front line of defense. All of these columns must be defended!"
Shen Jin was running around in the Xianghai community, which was the closest to their base. The zombies here had been cleared out by them many times, and it was basically difficult to see them anymore. Occasionally, there were a few zombies wandering over from other communities, and Shen Jin's [Diamond Sword] would directly cut off its head with one strike, and the same was true for evolved zombies.
Then, Shen Jin, holding [TNT] in his left hand and [cobblestone pressure plate] in his right hand, began to shuttle back and forth between his front line of defense: the front line!
The first deployment was carried out based on various terrains.
"Wait! This is not right. What if other zombies step on all the TNT mines I made in the next two days? Don't put down the cobblestone pressure plates yet. Just put down the TNT and make up for it on the last day!"
Shen Jin turned around and took back all the [cobblestone pressure plates]. This process required extreme caution, otherwise... big problems could easily occur.
Shen Jin marked all the locations where he placed [TNT] on the small map, and on the last day, he installed pressure plates to form mines.
Half a day has passed...
Shen Jin has finished arranging the front line!
"Huh - hehe~! When you come, try the feast I prepared for you!"
Next, Shen Jin went to the second line of defense: the observation line.
This was built based on the observation area he had previously established at the entrance of the Hongshui Bay Scenic Area. He had dug a big pit before to prevent the zombies from coming and hurting the survivors he rescued. Now he wants to expand this pit!
It has expanded to the point where... it would take 70,000 zombies to get through!
Then everyone stood on the 30-meter-high wall of the outer area and attacked the zombies that were not filled into the pit from above.
There are mountains on both sides of the city wall of the outer area, which is a natural checkpoint. Zombies can only attack them on the 50-meter-long city wall line, and the height of 30 meters... is a height that the jet zombies cannot reach. This height is judged by Shen Jin based on his naked eye memory when he was attacked by the zombie tide for the first time, and it may not be accurate. So tonight, Shen Jin plans to make the city wall 50 meters high. This wave will completely eliminate the lethality of the large jet zombies!
If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the final battlefield where they and the zombies will have to decide the winner. If the outer area is destroyed...
Shen Jin and his team planned a third line of defense: the inner wall.
If the first two lines of defense fail to stop the zombies and they occupy the outer area, everyone will retreat to the interior of the Hongshui Bay base and fight relying on the city walls separating it from the outer areas one, two and three.
If the battle line is pushed here, it will be very difficult to deal with it, because... there is no strategic location to defend, there is no natural barrier of the outer area, and the inner base has a 1,600-meter wall defense line. Shen Jin cannot raise it to 50 meters in a short time...
In other words, zombies can launch attacks from any position on the 1,600-meter-long city wall. Everyone may be attacked from both sides and be ambushed by zombies who sneak into the base.
Therefore, Shen Jin and the other three thought that it would be best not to go to this step. The best option was to deal with the zombie tide at the second line of defense - the observation line. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and a large number of arrangements could be made for efficient defense and killing.
"So! Let's start digging a hole! Dig a big hole!"
Shen Jin held an [electric drill] in each right hand, carried a fully charged [power storage backpack] on his back, and began to mine stones.
“Sizzle, sizzle~!”
The drill was spinning frantically, and pieces of stone were destroyed by the cube-forming ability, becoming small [cobblestone] models. Shen Jin's backpack was too full, and he was too lazy to collect them, so he just let them fall to the ground.
…
1 day later.
Shen Jin stood in a huge rectangular pit and shouted upwards: "Hey!!! I've finished digging! Are you done yet?"
Zhu Dan sat at the edge of the pit, holding an energy crystal core in his left hand, and a pile of weapons, armor, and strange little things on his right hand.
His eyes were dull, his legs were trembling, and his colorful energy was extremely unstable.
"I... I think my empowerment is finished? No... I feel like my mental strength can't hold up anymore!"
In order to find Shen Jin for the magic beans, Zhu Dan brought a bunch of equipment to the "observation line" and empowered Shen Jin while chatting. The two of them relied on the magic beans to last a whole day...
Shen Jin used the [Round Stone] blocks to prop himself up, "Hey! Look at my masterpiece, this wave can definitely accomplish the feat of burning corpses and burying corpses!"
Zhu Dan looked up and saw a huge rectangular pit that separated this side from the road to Xianghai Community like a rift valley. "Fuck! How big is this? It looks like... it can easily hold 70,000 zombies!"
Shen Jin smiled proudly: "Haha, the entire pit is 50 meters long, 20 meters wide, and 30 meters deep, a full 30,000 cubic meters of space!"
Shen Jin has dug nearly 30,000 blocks from yesterday to now!
His hands were numb, so he not only ate magic beans to restore his strength, but also ate a supernatural banana to relieve his stiff body. This made Shen Jin discover a little life hack: if anyone has lumbar muscle strain or osteoporosis or something like that, all they need to do is eat a big banana!
All the bones in your body will feel comfortable instantly! Because... your body's elasticity makes you unable to feel the existence of bones at all!
It was so painful that Shen Jin's arms could stretch like springs. He sat down to rest, and worked frantically with the [Mining Drill] in both hands.
"Hey! Another piece of weird knowledge has been added~!"
Moreover, this pit is not just a pit...
There is also endless murderous intent contained in it!
Shen Jin threw out several groups of [pebbles] in the package, freeing up space, and put all the equipment empowered by Zhu Dan into them. These empowered items could bring a qualitative leap to his two extraordinary guards!
"Brother Shen Jin... I can't take it anymore. I really can't hold on any longer. I need to rest for a while. Otherwise, if the zombie tide doesn't drive me away, you 'll exhaust me to death..."
Zhu Dan's special abilities were repeatedly consumed and replenished. Although he was supported by fairy beans and energy crystal cores, he had already overdrawn his body and mind at this time.
"Me too, both my arms and hands are almost useless, let me take a rest~!"
The two supported each other and returned to the base.
Shang Qian and Zhao Chao have already transported all the people in the base away. Now there is no one here except the extraordinary people.
…
D City Grain Storage Bureau, government military base.
Xia Anbang had just finished training with the captain of the vanguard group in the supernatural training ground. He breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh - yes, so this is the power of the supernatural. As expected, Commander Hu is right. This world... is really a new world that belongs to the supernaturals!"
The adjutant came over holding a satellite phone, "Colonel Xia, there's no call for help from Hongshui Bay!"
"Huh? Not here yet? Shen Jin hasn't thought it through yet?" Xia Anbang moved his body, which had regained its youthful vitality, and then said after a pause: "No... According to my observation, Shen Jin is not the kind of indecisive person. The biggest possibility is... he doesn't intend to accept our rescue!"
The adjutant nodded affirmatively: "Indeed... If there is no call at this time, he probably doesn't plan to come to our government. Does he have his own retreat route, or... is he preparing to fight the zombie tide head-on?"
Xia Anbang smiled: "As long as he is not crazy, he will not choose to fight against the zombies, let alone his few extraordinary people. Even if all the military forces of our D City government are gathered here and build a defense line here, facing the 70,000 zombies, they will have to temporarily avoid the sharp edge and defeat them in a roundabout way!"
“That’s right…”
The adjutant felt ashamed of his judgment that Shen Jin would fight the zombies head-on, which was inconsistent with his usual role as a think tank.
Xia Anbang put on a black windbreaker with four big characters "天络网" written on the back. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's call Shen Jin again and ask him what the situation is. He must not be too smart or arrogant. Killing zombies is different from killing ordinary zombies. It is a force that is... almost impossible to resist... By the way, Commander Hu is thinking about absorbing them into the 天络网 every day, so there must be no accidents in their retreat this time!"
"yes!"
The adjutant picked up the satellite phone and dialed.
