Chapter 561 Shenshu City Crisis
In June 2017, the apocalypse erupted for two years and two months.
Qin Xiaoyan's team traveled through the Dream Jungle for more than 20 days before finally leaving the gorgeous jungle and entering Inner Mongolia.
The danger of this forest was finally assessed by Qin Xiaoyan as not suitable for students to come here to try.
If it weren't for Qin Xiaoyan, who could control wild beasts, and Qin An, the Five-Colored Wolf King who was familiar with the forest environment, they wouldn't have been able to cross this land.
The terrifying number of Level 4 Mutated Killing Poison Bees, the helpless D3 Maneater Zombie Flower Swarm, and the mutated zombie beasts that might not appear at any time were truly too terrifying.
In more than a month, the seven students had truly grown up. They finally understood how terrifying the apocalypse was. They couldn't imagine how those who didn't have special abilities in the apocalypse had lived for two years.
After entering Inner Mongolia, the team began to contact the zombie community.
Fortunately, these zombies weren't connected, otherwise they wouldn't be able to pass through.
Led by Qin Xiaoyan's super hearing ability, the group walked through the gaps between the corpses. After another ten days, they finally saw a green "mountain" from afar!
The so-called mountain was actually not a mountain. Fifty meters below it was a bloodstained city wall, and more than a hundred meters above it was a strange giant tree!
--Shenshu City!
It was not as fantastic as people had imagined. On the contrary, it was very gray and looked like an uninhabited city from afar.
Within ten kilometers of the city, there were skeletons and minced meat everywhere. The mosquitoes and flies that filled the sky could charm the eyes, and the stench of the tarsal bones could disrupt people's hearts!
Qin An, Qin Xiaoyan, and the others were completely shocked. Just how many people had died here before there were so many bones piled up like mountains?
Walking on the skeleton and minced meat juice, they arrived at the city wall for an entire morning and saw the largest city in northern China at close range.
There were no traces of blood or wounds on the city wall that was tens of kilometers long! It was as if it had been standing here for thousands of years, experiencing countless storms and vicissitudes! Otherwise, how could there be so many traces on its body?
People tore the rags off their bodies and covered their noses with them.
The place beneath the city wall smelled even more intense. This kind of intense smell made it impossible for people to smell what kind of ingredients it was made of. In short, it seemed that it could directly fumigate a person to death.
Is this the rumored Shenshu City? He simply couldn't believe why it was like this.
...
At this moment, the atmosphere in the government hall in the middle of Shenshu City was as gloomy as its city walls.
City Lord Dong Junwei, Vice City Lord Liu Tieshan, Mutant Squad Captain Dong Shanhe, Mutant Beast Squad Captain Ye Liangchen, and the twenty-three first-level city officials all had worried expressions on their faces.
Three months ago, a five-man squad of heroes from Western Tibet, together with 38 mutants from Shenshu City, entered the Outer Mongolian Zombie Kingdom and assassinated the Fourth Grade Awakened Norsak.
Ten days later, Northak sent people to send the 43 heads back to Shenshu City, and the assassination team was completely annihilated.
Before the people could escape the pain of losing their comrades, Northak organized a large-scale zombie siege a few days later.
Northak had D4 leaping zombies in his body, which meant he could control 48 D3 leaping zombies! 1,208 D2 jumping zombies, 30,000 D1 jumping zombies, and millions of ordinary zombies!
This is a kind of control network, which requires a certain control process and method.
The true horror of the mutated zombies was their ability to control low-level zombies.
When Qin An and Su Mei fought, there were actually countless mutated zombies outside Smoke City. The most wrong thing Su Mei did was to rush to the front. If she had been hiding behind the zombies, she would be able to make a million zombies flatten Smoke City without any effort.
Norsak was a smart man. He had been operating in Outer Mongolia for a period of time. Not only had he gathered a total of three million corpses, he had also built a zombie kingdom's capital city in the center. It was called Norsak City.
In retaliation for Shenshu City's assassination attempt, Northak sent troops south a month and a half ago. The 500,000 zombie army launched a month-long siege on Shenshu City.
Although it was protected by the scent of the mutated tree, the guardians still clashed head-on with the zombie army due to the presence of the jumping zombies in the zombie army.
After a month of offensive and defensive battles, although Shenshu City had not been broken, it had already exhausted all of its resources. This was also because the Shenshu City Guards Corps' predecessor was a regular army from the Shenyang Military Region. They were well-armed and had excellent ammunition. Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the 500,000 zombie army.
A few days ago, Shenshu City received a message from Northak that he would send a million zombies to attack the city at noon tomorrow. Norsak's letter said that the soldiers and civilians of Shenshu City had to leave Shenshu City by 12 o'clock tomorrow, otherwise they would be slaughtered after entering the city.
Right now, there were more than a hundred thousand people in Divine Tree City. These hundred thousand people had nowhere to go. The Northern Heavens Secret Road was only suitable for small troops to walk. There were dangerous beasts in the south and zombies in the east and west. It was impossible for large forces to evacuate. The reason Norsack sent messages to Shenshu City was to disturb people's hearts.
Dong Shanhe was Dong Junwei's son. He was twenty-six years old this year. Seeing that everyone in the room was silent, he was a little anxious and said,
"Dad! Uncle Qin, leaders, we only have two ways to go now. I think it's better to abandon the city and retreat south. Although the dangerous beast jungle is full of dangers, I think ten thousand people out of a hundred thousand can pass. We won't be completely annihilated!"
Or let me lead the mutant to assassinate Northak. Once he dies, the group of corpses will lose control and won't be that difficult to deal with! "
Dong Junwei was only fifty years old this year, but his hair was already full of silver. As the guardian of Shenshu City these past two years, he had endured too much pressure and responsibility.
"Hmph! How many mutants are there on your side?"
Hearing his father ask this question, Dong Shanhe's expression turned sad.
"And … eighteen people! Thirty-three mutant warriors died in a month-long battle to defend the city!"
'"Eighteen? The five-man team from Western Tibet and the 38 highest-ranked mutants in our city, a total of forty-three warriors, failed to assassinate Northak. Your eighteen warriors only numbered nineteen. What use is that, including you?"
These words were too realistic. Not only did they leave Dong Shanhe speechless, many of the officials below also nodded their heads. Afterwards, they shook their heads helplessly.
The room fell into silence again. It was already 12 noon. No one could think of an effective way to solve the death situation before them.
A seemingly quiet youth sitting opposite Dong Shanhe coughed lightly and said,
"Liangchen think must not leave Shenshu City!
This city has been standing here for a year and a half! Back then, more than 300,000 survivors had gathered in the city!
We've been through sixteen zombie sieges, killing more than a million zombies!
Many of Liangchen's good friends had lost their lives in the battle to defend the city!
After all, the enemy was powerful!
"But we should protect the deaths of those who persist. They died to defend the city. How can we abandon this city?"
Hearing Ye Liangchen's words, Dong Shanhe was the first to jump up and roar, "Ye Liangchen! We are out of food now! What do you think we should use to defend the city? Could it be that you have only a few hundred mutated creatures? A group of Level 2 mutated beasts can fight thousands of zombies head-on, but we have to face a million zombies from Northak!"
Ye Liangchen's expression was very calm. He looked at Dong Shanhe and said,
"Shanhe don't have to be angry.
I'm just showing my attitude! No matter what, Liangchen would not abandon the city!
Although I wasn't born and raised in Shenshu City, I have already established a deep relationship with this city over the past year!
I think of myself as a native, so this city can be used as my burial ground!
Therefore, even if the adults decide to retreat, I will not leave! "
Dong Shanhe felt that he was going crazy!
"Ye Liangchen! I hate the way you speak. Do you think you're an ancient man? Everyone will come out soon! I'm too lazy to talk to you!"
Ye Liangchen remained calm.
"Mountains and rivers! Liangchen is naturally not an ancient person, but before the end of Liangchen, he liked ancient styles in school, so..."
Dong Shanhe's face had already turned red, he wanted to rush forward and beat this Ye Liangchen up.
Knowing that his son was like a father, Dong Junwei realized that Dong Shanhe wanted to make a move.
"Alright!
Don't even talk anymore. Do you still think it's not chaotic enough now? "
The old man's words suppressed the restless Dong Shanhe and made Ye Liangchen stop his long speech.
The hall once again fell into silence. The crowd did not feel the slightest bit melancholy because of the quarrel between Dong Shanhe and Ye Liangchen. How could such a situation be resolved?
At this moment, the guards knocked on the door and entered.
"Report!"
Dong Junwei frowned. Seeing his guards enter the room, his heart skipped a beat. There was probably no good news at this moment.
His voice was a little hoarse, and Dong Junwei said,
"What happened again?"
The soldier had a strange expression on his face as he said, "Five mutants from the military faction of Tibetan West Academy entered the city through the west gate. They said they were here to carry out a beheading operation!"
Dong Shanhe, who had just calmed down, suddenly stood up and coldly snorted, "Bullshit beheading! The Tibetan government's remnants are just bullshit! F*ck! The five people who came last time killed 38 of my brothers, but now it's useless to send someone here!"
