Doomsday police, please show your god/demon ID card.

The next day, at noon.

The base was deathly silent.

The once bustling square was deserted, the labor center's gates were tightly shut, no smoke rose from the canteen's chimney, and only dust swirled in the wind over the training ground.

Tang Long stood on the outer city wall, feeling a continuous tremor beneath his feet.

He didn't speak, but simply gazed silently into the distance.

On the distant horizon, a thin black line is wriggling, growing thicker and wider at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Like ink dripping into clear water, it slowly, yet irresistibly spreads and diffuses.

"Damn it!" Wang Hu put down his binoculars and couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Have all the zombies in the city center come here?"

After a day of rest, his body had almost recovered, but his face was still a little pale.

Zhao Fan walked over quickly, his face showing fatigue and his eyes bloodshot.

"Team Leader Tang, the results from yesterday are in."

His voice was a little hoarse.

"Seventeen drones were destroyed, most of them due to prolonged overload operation that burned out their power cores, and a few were damaged by objects thrown up by zombies."

"But the results were very good. Based on the kill confirmation footage transmitted back by the drones, we initially estimate that the number of zombies killed exceeded 10,000."

Tang Long nodded.

He knew this news earlier and more accurately than Zhao Fan did.

According to the system log updates, the total number is 11,132.

This is the result of Zhao Fan and Liu Qiang leading their drone squadron in a day and night of hard work outside the safe zone.

The victory was brilliant, and it can be called a brilliant blocking battle.

But compared to the seemingly endless horde of corpses before them, it all seemed insignificant.

"Preparing the last line of defense?" Tang Long asked, his gaze still fixed on the distance.

"All personnel are in position," Zhao Fan replied. "All firing positions and throwing points on the inner city wall are deployed. Molotov cocktails, spare weapons, and medical stations are all in place. All non-combat personnel have taken cover."

Tang Long stopped talking and just stared at the surging black ocean in the distance, getting closer and closer.

They could even make out individual, swaying figures.

It's exactly twelve o'clock.

The zombie at the forefront stepped into the edge of the drone bombing zone.

"Drone formation, take off!" Tang Long picked up the walkie-talkie, his voice as cold as ice.

hum!

The piercing buzzing sound echoed throughout the base.

Drones hidden in various corners took off and rushed towards the horde of zombies.

Inside the inner city, in a "flight control center" converted from a reinforced basement.

Li Zhai huddled in his chair, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at the dense red dots on the screen.

He laughed wildly, his fingers leaving afterimages as he tapped on the remote control.

"Left side! Left gap! Fill it! Three consecutive incendiary bombs!"

On the screen, a drone responds to a command and drops three homemade incendiary bombs at the horde of zombies.

boom!

Flames erupted, instantly engulfing seven or eight zombies.

"Haha~~ Burn! Burn it all! They'll all die!" Li Zhai grinned, laughing somewhat neurotically.

The battles of the past few days have completely immersed him in this god-like perspective game, to the point that he can no longer distinguish between the game on the screen and reality outside.

He's almost gone mad...

Actually, it wasn't just him; the other police drone pilots were in similar situations.

They were originally just a group of ordinary people, many of whom were even hardcore gamers; they were essentially thrown into this role at the last minute.

Yesterday, led by Zhao Fan and others, they operated drones for a day and a night of fierce fighting.

Even just through a screen, the mental stress and physical condition are already close to collapse.

Explosions rang out one after another amidst the horde of zombies.

Flames, thick smoke, and severed limbs erupted continuously in the vanguard of the zombie horde.

However, no matter how powerful the drones' firepower was, they were struggling to cope with the endless horde of zombies.

The black tide seemed endless; as soon as the zombies in front were blown to pieces, those behind immediately filled the gap.

They don't cry, they're not afraid, and they don't run away.

Death means nothing to them.

The first batch of zombies waded through the final roadblocks and pitfalls and arrived at the outer city wall.

The rotting hand pounded against the wall, making a dull thud.

Tang Long's eyes narrowed as he looked down at the densely packed heads below.

He swung his right arm.

puff!

A jet-black vine shot out from his palm, instantly piercing the eye socket of a zombie below.

"Everyone, fire! Eliminate the climbers first!" he roared.

Da da da da!

On the wall, more than two hundred police officers who were already prepared pulled the triggers at the same time.

Bullets rained down like a storm, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere below the city wall, black blood splattered, and the pile of corpses grew higher and higher at a visible speed.

Gunshots, explosions, and the howls of zombies blended into a symphony of the apocalypse.

However...

The zombie horde came wave after wave, seemingly endless.

As soon as one zombie fell to the ground, the others would step on the corpses of their own kind and continue climbing upwards.

They piled up their bodies to form a slope, layer upon layer, and surged wildly toward the top of the wall.

The barrel of the rifle in Tang Long's hand was already hot from firing.

He dropped his rifle, and with a flick of his wrists, two whips of order shot out, like two black dragons, churning wildly through the horde of corpses.

Wherever the vines passed, the zombies' heads exploded like watermelons.

Black liquid and rotting flesh splattered everywhere.

He roared and slashed, each swing taking several lives.

But there were just too many zombies.

Individual strength ultimately seems insignificant in the face of this dark torrent. My physical strength was rapidly depleting, my breathing became increasingly heavy, and my arms began to ache.

until...

"Team Leader Tang!" Wang Hu's shout came from the left flank.

He was covered in blood, his bulletproof vest riddled with deep scratches and teeth marks, and he staggered forward.

"Sector A! The central support pillar of the sector A city wall has collapsed! The breach... the breach is widening! The horde of zombies is pouring in!!"

Tang Long paused, looking in the direction of the sound.

About a hundred meters away, a section of the wall, several meters long, had collapsed, and a black horde of corpses was pouring into the outer city through the breach like a flood.

The original plan of three lines of defense in depth was reduced to only two due to time constraints.

One of them is the outermost city wall, which was built after the population surge, and it is the one they are standing on now, also called the outer city wall.

The remaining part is the inner wall built around the main police station building, along with several residential buildings next to it, which is also the most solid line of defense.

"Everyone!"

Tang Long made a decisive decision and gave the order directly into the walkie-talkie.

"Abandon the outer city walls! Retreat to the inner city in an orderly manner immediately! Alternate cover! Repeat, abandon the outer city, retreat to the inner city! Hurry!!"

Upon receiving the order, the police officers who were still fighting fiercely on the outer city wall began to take turns providing cover, fighting and retreating simultaneously.

The horde of corpses surged, seemingly sensing Tang Long and the others' intentions, and its attack became even more frenzied.

The black tide quickly engulfed the rest of the outer city wall, and a few police officers who couldn't retreat in time were swallowed up instantly, only having time to let out short screams.

Behind the inner city walls, all the survivors watched in terror as everything unfolded outside.

"They're here! The zombies are here!" someone gritted their teeth, their teeth chattering.

The first zombie appeared on the street outside the inner city wall.

Then came the second, the third, hundreds and thousands...

They surged in from all directions, instantly filling the open space between the inner and outer cities, a dark mass rushing towards the last line of defense.

Zhao Fan stood on the watchtower of the inner city wall, his face solemn.

Beside him were hundreds of hastily assembled survivors, and at his feet were mountains of Molotov cocktails.

"Molotov cocktails ready!" Zhao Fan shouted. "Wait until they get closer! Aim at the densest area! Don't be afraid!"

The zombies were getting closer, and the stench of decay filled the air.

"Right now—throw it!!!" Zhao Fan roared.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

In an instant, hundreds of Molotov cocktails flew out from all over the wall, over the heads of the police officers who were retreating along the evacuation route, and slammed into the most crowded group of corpses at the foot of the city wall!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions and explosions continued!

Thick, solidified gasoline splattered everywhere, and the fire instantly spread, forming a blazing zone more than ten meters wide that completely blocked the street.

The hundreds of zombies at the forefront were instantly engulfed by flames, letting out mournful roars as they struggled and collapsed in the fire.

The advance of the zombie horde has been temporarily halted.

"Hurry! Let's go!" Tang Long shouted at the last police officers who were retreating.

The police officers didn't dare to delay, and they scrambled and crawled into the inner city through the specially reserved passage.

The metal gate slammed shut with a loud clang, locking itself in place!

Zhao Fan jogged over and quickly asked, "Tang Long, are you alright?"

Tang Long wiped the blood from his face, his chest heaving violently, just about to speak.

"Roar!!!"

Several ferocious roars came from the flames.

Several zombies, which looked significantly stronger, bravely pushed their way out of the flames despite the burning.

It slammed its body violently against the door and frantically scratched with its charred claws!

Immediately afterwards, more burning zombies stepped over the charred bodies of their companions, staggering out of the sea of ​​fire and joining the charge!

"Damn it!" Tang Long's pupils contracted, and he cursed, "Everyone who can move, get on the wall! Don't let them break down the door! Knock them down! Now!!!"

"yes!!!"
