At this moment, the strong-type zombies had already charged up the gentle slope and were rushing towards the city wall. Chang Jianyi saw this and quickly commanded the soldiers, "Hurry up and fire! Don't let the zombies get up here!"
More than a dozen strong-type zombies were trampling on the bodies of other zombies as they charged. The spitting zombies followed behind, numbering over twenty. These mutated zombies were basically all second-tier zombies, with very few first-tier zombies among them. The speed-type zombies, on the other hand, began to climb the city walls on both sides. Their claws or bone spurs could pierce the wall, allowing them to ascend smoothly.
The soldiers quickly opened fire. Fortunately, even mutated zombies could be killed by gunfire. The strong-type zombies at the forefront were quickly killed on the gentle slope formed by the zombie bodies. The spitting zombies behind them actually used the bodies of the strong-type zombies as shields to continue advancing. At the same time, the speed-type zombies reached the top of the wall.
Fortunately, the searchlights on the city wall illuminated the speed-type zombies climbing the wall, and they were quickly alerted.
The soldiers immediately turned their guns and continuously fired at the speed-type zombies clinging to the wall. In an instant, the speed-type zombies were killed by gunfire.
The spitting zombies had reached the top of the gentle slope. When they were still five meters away from the wall, they began to spray the acidic liquid from their stomachs. The dozen or so soldiers on the wall were accidentally sprayed in the face. These soldiers immediately fell to the ground screaming, their faces becoming pockmarked as if burned by sulfuric acid. Those whose eyes were sprayed with the acid were instantly blinded.
Seeing this, Chang Jianyi quickly shouted to the surrounding soldiers, "Quickly sweep them with fire! Don't save bullets!"
The mutated zombies were about to reach the top of the wall. If they didn't open fire now, the zombies would likely be on the wall. Thus, the soldiers immediately switched to automatic mode and began to sweep the more than twenty spitting zombies on the gentle slope. Bullets passed through the bodies of the strong-type zombies and hit the spitting zombies behind them. In the end, the spitting zombies could no longer withstand it, and they all rolled to the ground, tumbling down the slope.
Before Chang Jianyi could rejoice, more than a dozen tank-type zombies charged up. These tank-type zombies were over four meters tall, which were simply behemoths to the soldiers. They concentrated their firepower on the tank-type zombies. The bodies of the tank-type zombies were immediately hit by bullets, but these zombies had a thick layer of fat as a buffer. Thus, the bullets failed to kill them upon impact.
Seeing this, Chang Jianyi's expression turned grim. Rifle bullets could penetrate even some weak steel plates, but now, when attacking the tank-type zombies, they were unsuccessful. The fat on these tank-type zombies could block bullets.
"It's a shame we don't have any artillery shells, otherwise, these tank-type zombies could definitely be killed!" Chang Jianyi said with a grim expression.
Zhou Xiaoxiao had also arrived on the city wall and saw the tank-type zombies advancing step by step up the gentle slope. She quickly shouted, "Attack their heads! Kill these zombies!"
Thus, the soldiers focused their targets on the heads of the tank-type zombies and all fired at their heads. More than half of the bullets missed, but a small portion of the bullets hit the heads of the tank-type zombies.
Five tank-type zombies in the front were killed on the spot, their heavy bodies instantly pressing down on the zombie-formed slope.
However, at this moment, a scream came from the dense horde of zombies in the distance. The sharp sound reached everyone's ears, instantly making them agitated. Such a sharp cry had never been heard before, but Chang Jianyi had a guess.
"Could it be the Zombie King's voice?" Chang Jianyi thought to herself.
As if to confirm Chang Jianyi's guess, the remaining seven living tank-type zombies grabbed a few zombies from the gentle slope and used them to shield their heads. With these zombies blocking their heads, it became difficult to hit the tank-type zombies' heads, and even if they were hit, they might not be able to damage their brains.
"Damn it, the wound healing speed of these tank-type zombies is too fast!" Zhou Xiaoxiao observed the tank-type zombies with binoculars. She found that the bullet holes on these zombies, which were originally as large as half a fist, were rapidly healing as they advanced. This healing speed was simply a miracle in the biological world.
Chang Jianyi understood. The reason why the tank-type zombies uniformly used ordinary zombies as shields was actually because they were controlled by the Zombie King, who was in the zombie群 in the northwest corner. However, the zombies outside were densely packed, with a width of four to five hundred meters, and were particularly dispersed. The sky was also very dark, making it impossible to find the Zombie King's trace.
At this moment, two of Chang Jianyi's personal guards brought Chang Haojie to the city wall. Chang Haojie looked at the fighting crowd and his face turned a little pale. It was his first time witnessing a zombie siege. He could only see countless zombies rushing out of the darkness and directly charging towards their city wall. Even if they died, these zombies would only die after reaching the city wall.
"Sister, I'm here!" Chang Haojie found Chang Jianyi, who was directing the battle, and shouted loudly.
The city wall was filled with gunfire at this time. If Chang Haojie's voice was too soft, he wouldn't be able to get Chang Jianyi's attention. Chang Jianyi also noticed her brother's arrival, so she asked Zhou Xiaoxiao to take over the command of the battle and then took her brother back a distance.
"Xiao Jie, have you gained any special abilities yet?" Chang Jianyi asked anxiously.
Chang Haojie nodded seriously and said, "I have gained special abilities now. It's the manipulation of mist."
As he spoke, Chang Haojie waved his hand, and a ball of white mist instantly condensed in the air, and this white mist continued to expand.
Seeing this, Chang Jianyi could only feel a headache. She muttered to herself, "Why is it this kind of ability? This ability is completely useless!"
Chang Haojie was immediately unhappy when he heard this. He stood on the parapet of the city wall and leaped down towards the direction of the city. Chang Jianyi did not expect her brother to do such a thing. Even if the ability was useless, he wouldn't jump off a building to commit suicide, right? Therefore, Chang Jianyi did not have time to stop him and could only watch as her brother jumped from the fifteen-meter-high city wall.
"Xiao Jie!" Chang Jianyi called out loudly towards the city.
However, at this moment, she saw an astonishing scene. Because Chang Haojie was actually standing on the white mist and not falling, he was like riding on clouds, steadily standing on the white mist. Chang Jianyi had never seen such a scene before.
"You can fly?" Chang Jianyi was incredibly shocked to see this. At this moment, she couldn't believe her eyes. She never expected her brother to be able to do this. Even Shen Feng, who controlled the power of wind, couldn't fly, yet her brother, who was only a first-tier ability user, could fly. This was simply extremely exaggerated.
Chang Haojie said proudly, "Sister, do you know the use of my ability now?"
Chang Jianyi nodded. Having witnessed her brother's ability firsthand, she suddenly realized that the ability she thought was useless seemed to bring about great changes. For example, the current dangerous battle situation might be turned around because of her brother's ability!
"Vice City Lord, young master's ability can be very useful!" Yin Li said in a low voice, "Being able to fly is very useful for reconnaissance and aerial attacks. Moreover, the young master can leave the city to deliver messages."
When Chang Jianyi heard the words "aerial attacks," she instantly remembered that there was a Zombie King in the distant zombie horde. And her brother could fly using his abilities. Wasn't this exactly her opportunity?
Thinking of this, Chang Jianyi quickly asked Chang Haojie to come over and asked sternly, "How long can you fly?"
Chang Haojie didn't understand why his sister asked this, but he still replied, "I feel like I can fly for over an hour."
Upon hearing this answer, Chang Jianyi hesitated for a moment, then grabbed her brother's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Don't you always want to be a hero? Now there's a dangerous mission for you. Do you dare to do it?"
Chang Haojie nodded seriously and said, "I dare!"
Chang Jianyi pointed to the large group of zombies attacking below the city wall and said sternly, "Your mission is to go above those zombies, find a Zombie King with a big head, and after you find it, throw grenades into its wounds to blow it up. Then you will be the hero of Luzhou!"
Chang Haojie had been full of confidence before, but when he heard the content of the mission, his little face immediately turned pale. He looked at the groups of zombies in the distant darkness and hesitated, saying, "This seems a bit dangerous, doesn't it?"
Chang Haojie was very scared. He was only in the fourth grade this year. He used to think he was very brave, but now facing the 300,000 zombies outside the city, he immediately hesitated. If he went outside the city and was accidentally caught by the zombies, wouldn't he die? Also, why should he, who was so young, undertake such a dangerous task?
Seeing her brother hesitating and not answering, Chang Jianyi gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Jie, don't you always want to be a hero like your brother-in-law? Then you will eventually have to face danger. A hero is not someone who is powerful, but someone who can bravely face danger when it arises! Just like your brother-in-law, even though he knew he would face a million zombies if he went to Rongcheng, he still set off. Wasn't he afraid? No, he just hid his fear and showed his bravery!"
"Does brother-in-law also get scared?" Chang Haojie asked in a small voice.
Chang Jianyi nodded and said seriously, "Yes, your brother-in-law also gets scared! However, he always has the courage to overcome difficulties."
"But I don't feel like I have the courage!" Chang Haojie slowly lowered his head. He was too scared. When he was hiding from zombies in the school cafeteria, he was particularly worried about being caught and eaten by zombies. Although he was protected by his sister now, he thought about facing a large number of zombies. If he were caught by the zombies, he would surely not even have enough meat to share!
Thinking of these things, Chang Haojie wanted to retreat. Why should he take risks? Why should he fight? Wouldn't it be better to stay at home?
"I'm still a primary school student. I should be in school studying," Chang Haojie thought to himself. He had the idea of retreating. He didn't want to go above the zombies to find the Zombie King, nor did he want to fight. He was very scared at the moment.
Seeing her brother like this, Chang Jianyi did not blame him. After all, her brother was only a child of ten years old. It was normal to be afraid when facing the menacing 300,000 zombies! However, at this moment, only by killing the Zombie King could the threat of the zombies outside the city be completely resolved. Otherwise, the zombies would eventually break through the city wall. The zombies had already learned to use shields, and in time, they would be even more difficult to deal with!
"Xiao Jie, listen to me. Everyone has courage in their hearts. Perhaps you don't think you do, but that's because your fears are too many," Chang Jianyi said softly. "Winter is coming, kill the fear in your heart! The epic of humanity is the epic of courage, and the hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage!"
Chang Haojie heard his sister's encouragement and looked up at his sister's expectant eyes again. He pursed his lips and nodded, "I understand. I also have courage. I will do it."
Chang Jianyi was very pleased to hear this answer. Now her brother could finally help her, and he had grown up a lot!
Afterward, Chang Jianyi began to teach her brother how to use grenades. There were many grenades prepared on the city wall, but these grenades could only be used at necessary moments because each one used was one less. They had to be used when they could no longer hold on!
Chang Haojie diligently learned how to use grenades. After Chang Jianyi finished teaching, he began to practice using grenades. He pulled out the safety pin, activated the switch, and then aimed at the zombie horde below the city wall and threw it. Ten seconds later, a loud explosion came from below the city wall. The zombies within a two-meter radius of the explosion were all killed!
"Boom," Chang Haojie heard a loud explosion from below the city. The fear in his heart was dispelled. At this moment, he thought, so combat is such a simple matter, and zombies are so easy to kill. Then I can also become a hero.
"Have you learned it? Are you ready?" Chang Jianyi quickly asked.
Unknowingly, Chang Haojie became confident. Perhaps it was through actual operation and understanding the steps to kill zombies, or perhaps it was through Chang Jianyi's encouragement and understanding the need to kill fear and find courage. Although he was still a primary school student, he had already become different.
"I'm ready! I'm going to find that big-headed Zombie King! I'll throw grenades to blow him up," Chang Haojie said with firm and serious eyes.
Seeing her brother's performance, Chang Jianyi smiled, then patted her brother's shoulder and said seriously, "Then prepare yourself and set off. Take ten grenades and act within an hour. If you can't find the Zombie King, come back immediately."
