The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 833 The effect is quite good

People were talking here, but the swarm of zombies did not stop moving forward!
A moment later, the large number of zombies that had escaped from the electromagnetic formation basically all fell into the river heading out to the sea, and there were still a few zombies that had just escaped from the huge group of zombies on the way...

As more and more zombies appear in the riverbed, the situation changes!

Zombies rushed into the riverbed one after another, and all the traps on the south bank of the river were completely saturated. Zombies were stacked on top of each other, forming a zombie slope several meters high!
The last batch of zombies that fell into the river not only did not suffer any harm, but they were able to quickly recover their mobility after rolling forward, and continued to stagger towards Xidaying Village. Although they had been strengthened many times, they still had no awareness of helping each other and turned a blind eye to their own kind who were piled up in the pile of zombies.

Chuhai River is a functional river artificially modified on the natural riverbed. The width of the riverbed is relatively consistent. The section that the zombies cross is about 40 meters wide. There are barricades and animal traps placed scattered around, and a small number of nail boards laid. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, there are not many of them.

When the zombies passed by the riverbed, everyone found that the chevaux de frise was very effective. Even if a small group of zombies pushed forward, it could still hold the defense firmly. It was an excellent obstacle. If there were people to assist in the defense on the river bank, it could provide a huge buffer space. Whether using hot weapons or bows and crossbows, they could easily deal with the zombies blocked by the chevaux de frise!

But there are exceptions, and that’s the big guys!

This thing is definitely a disaster. One of them is stronger than five ordinary zombies. It pushed the chevaux de frise forward. Since the chevaux de frise is relatively short, it just hits the big guy's knees. He accidentally loses balance and falls forward, and the chevaux de frise is crushed with a snap!

What does it mean to have great strength despite being a big body? This is a typical case of great strength causing miracles.

The effect of the animal trap is slightly worse than that of the barricade. A trap can only hit one zombie at most. It is a disposable consumable. Moreover, not every trap can catch a zombie. Some unlucky people step on two at a time, and another one will be triggered when they fall down...

This way, the trap can kill even fewer zombies!
However, the animal trap has its own unique advantage, which is that it can deal with large guys. Even if the legs of the large guy caught in the trap are not broken, it is very difficult for him to get up again, unless he can use both hands to pry the trap open, otherwise he can only repeatedly get up and fall down until the trap is broken.

People stood on the roof, shining flashlights on the river, watching the zombies encountering various obstacles and struggling in the river. They felt a lot more relaxed and many people had smiles on their faces.

It is truly rare to be able to watch the zombies rush forward in peace and quiet for such a long time after the disaster broke out.

There were about 30,000 zombies, spread out over 200 meters, moving forward in a staggered manner. About 10% of the zombies, or about 3,000 zombies, were directly harmed by the wooden spears on the southern riverbank. But it was these inconspicuous 3,000 zombies that triggered a chain reaction!
The number of zombies indirectly affected subsequently was about 20,000.

If you just fall on flat ground, it is not particularly difficult to get up, but if you fall into the river, it is like a pile of people stacked up, one on top of another. In exaggerated places, there are more than ten people stacked up. This is only a zombie. They can dance while enduring such great pressure. If it were a human, the shit would be squeezed out of them!
Some of them are still alive, but some of the zombies have been crushed to the point where their bones are broken and they have lost the ability to move.

There were less than 15,000 zombies who were able to recover and continue to move forward. Together with the last few zombies that were not affected, there were no more than 20,000 zombies. Fifty percent of them were trapped in the river because of traps such as chevaux de frise and animal traps. Only 10,000 zombies stumbled to the north bank of the river!

This number of people were obviously unable to cope with the downward slanting metal spikes. It was difficult to climb, and they piled up like a pile of monks, but in the end they were stabbed head-on. It was quite painful...

Due to the angle, people cannot see the zombies climbing the river bank nearby, but they can see a little bit from a distance.

The zombies kept climbing up like moths to a flame, but finally they could only fall in front of the metal spikes and could not get beyond the line!
If the zombies want to successfully climb up the northern riverbank, they either have to be enraged or ignited, entering a violent state and charging madly, trading speed for success, or they have to stack up in numbers and use a ladder of corpses to cross the defenses.

No matter which one, the zombies trapped in the riverbed have none of them. They can only hit the metal spikes miserably again and again. No one knows how many times they have been stabbed, but they still persist...

Zombies in a low-energy state will not howl crazily, but they will still whisper. The groaning sounds of tens of thousands of zombies combined together sound like the howls from hell. If you turn off the lights, fear will instantly spread from the bottom of your heart.

"Honey, the fortifications at Chuhai River are pretty good. There should be about 30,000 or 40,000 zombies here, and they can all be trapped without any human intervention. That's amazing!"

Zheng Xinyu put down the telescope, rubbed her sore eyes, and was slightly delighted. "Yes!"

Zhang Su nodded slightly. The current completion rate of Chuhai River is less than 30%. It can only be said to be in its infancy. Once 80% is completed, it will definitely become a strong line of defense for Tianma Island.

When Ma Changshou heard the compliment, it was like a timely rain falling in a dry land. He felt so happy.

“But there are still problems at the moment.”

Before Ma Changshou could be happy for five seconds, Zhang Su's words dampened his happiness.

"We are just trapping the zombies in the river. If we want to kill them, we have to get close to them. We can't use hot weapons because we won't be able to sustain the consumption of bullets. Even if we use crossbows, we don't have that many crossbow arrows. Once people get close, the zombies will be enraged. Then, things will be full of uncertainty, unless... Yes, we can put the electromagnetic circle directly into the river!"

As he spoke, Zhang Su began to think of ways to solve the current problem.

"Brother Su, then I will do it now?"

Liu Tianji was listening to Zhang Su's speech on the side. He thought that only he and Qiu Hui could perform this action, so he was very enthusiastic.

"Okay, I'll trouble you and Qiu Hui to go there, but it's a bit troublesome. The zombies are moving around and there's no place to bury the wires. You can watch over the operation. Also, you should know the approximate interval between the wires."

"I know, I know! Huihui, let's go..."

Liu Tianji is very proactive. It is such an honor to be able to show his abilities in front of so many people. To establish his position in the camp, he must rely on the accumulation of merits in daily life.

After a while, everyone looked in astonishment at Liu Tianji and Qiu Hui busying themselves on the river bank!

One person tied a rope around his waist and carefully went down to the river, while the other person pulled the rope, and they cooperated very well.

"Boss Zhang, this brother and sister...I'm afraid they have abilities beyond ordinary people!"

Ma Changshou heard the workers on the roof next door talking about something, so he simply asked questions on their behalf to avoid rumors that might have led to anything serious.

Since Liu Tianji and Qiu Hui were arranged to perform the mission in front of everyone, there was nothing to hide. Zhang Su nodded and said, "They were bitten by zombies before, but survived a near-death experience. Their bodies have changed a little, just like what you see now. They won't attract the attention of zombies. Countless people were bitten, but only these two got the reward!"

You can tell them, but you still have to tell everyone about the risks, and you can’t reveal the information about the zombie-blocking fluid.

In fact, Zhang Su had overthought everything. When he heard that the ability was acquired through a zombie bite, those who had been kept in the dark suddenly woke up. It didn’t matter if he didn’t have this ability. Didn’t he hear that it was a narrow escape from death?
People are envious, but no one is willing to try.
