Life as a mercenary turned into a girl is a bit difficult

"Lord Administrator..."

The older bartender wanted to say something but was interrupted by Peps' impatient wave. Two maids, one on the left and one on the right, took Ruoxiang's hand and took her away from the crowd.

Facing Ruoxiang's encounter, the bartenders had different expressions, some were worried and some showed jealousy. Ruoxiang had a plan in mind after returning a reassuring look to the older bartender.

Ruoxiang, who had been operating outside the castle, entered the interior of the castle for the first time. The exquisitely patterned floor tiles reflected the gorgeous glass chandelier above her head. The corridor supported by marble stone sculptures ran through the end of her field of vision. The framed paintings and animal specimens began to appear. As soon as I walked in, I wanted to cover all the walls.

Ruoxiang, who had received a complete set of higher education and pre-war art training in Changming City, could not see the slightest beauty in visual taste. She only felt that it was disordered and messy in the artistic language.

Of course, this was not the time for her to comment on the artistic taste of the administrator.

After walking for a long time, Ruoxiang suddenly stopped after confirming that no one else was following around. This behavior made the two maids look at her in confusion, and saw the girl who was supposed to be mute softly speaking to them. A syllable came out of his ear: "Sleep..."

Just one syllable is enough to express what you mean, let alone two ordinary people.Instantly, sleepiness surged up uncontrollably, and without even holding on for a second, the two maids rolled their eyes and fell to the left and right at Ruoxiang's feet.

My throat was a bit stinging and itchy but nothing serious.After confirming that she still had some strength left, Ruoxiang immediately took action and ran towards the main entrance. Everyone knew what must have happened if Man hadn't been to the island for so long. The administrator was simply lying.

As soon as she ran out of the castle gate, she saw the suspension bridge connecting to the town of Vibus being raised. A large number of well-equipped castle guards set up positions on the edge of the island in the middle of the river, but they were indifferent to the battle on the other side.

Ruoxiang seizes the time and runs towards the suspension bridge. This is her last chance.

Chapter 21 Town Defense Battle 4

The mutilated corpses were piled up into a hill in front of the wall, flattening the barrier of the wall, which was only two meters high. The second line of defense, which had lost its basic defensive capabilities, was abandoned again, and the remaining people had to continue to retreat.

Vibus Town does not have a third line of defense, or it does not deliberately build a third line of defense with walls and other fortifications. However, in fact, Vibus Town is the same as most human strongholds. Every building, including residential buildings, has The buildings are centered around the core area of ​​the town and spread out in a fan shape.

Nailing the doors and windows with wooden boards, and blocking the road with sandbags, trolleys and other sundries, this was the last resistance that Rocco could do. This battle has lasted for two days since the first wall. Over the course of an hour, the besieging corpse tide had become somewhat sparse.

But Rocco didn't feel relaxed at all. He knew that these forms were just cannon fodder and consumables, and the commander behind them was just waiting for them to be at their weakest.

A strange roar suddenly erupted from the tide of corpses. It was definitely not the roar of ordinary zombies. Sure enough, at the end of the tide, five or six huge figures walked out of the night. Under the burning firelight, these were even more robust. More dangerous skeletons came into view.

finally come……

Seeing this scene, Rocco was a little scared and a little lucky. He was afraid that these strong corpse apes were much scarier than those walking corpses. Fortunately, he saw the end of the monster siege at noon. It was boundless and he didn't know when it would start. It’s the head that makes people despair.

"Everyone who can move, move. Have you seen those beasts? Hold on! As long as we repel them, we will win!" Rocco shouted loudly, not only to vent his emotions, but also to boost everyone's morale.

The spirits of the autonomous citizens were lifted, not because of how inspiring Rocco's words were, but because they were so familiar with corpse apes. It could be said that these corpse apes were the type they had the most contact with among all the monsters.

The body damage of corpse apes is generally very high. Because they often move in the depths of dense forests, their muscle tissues are often scratched by branches or parasitized by insects. They are more like corpses than walking corpses, and their muscle density is low. It can even be penetrated by the armor-piercing arrows of the autonomous people. Generally speaking, it is much easier to deal with than mutant beasts or even large groups of walking zombies.

They had wiped out so many zombies, so what were the smaller number of corpse apes?

Whether it was to comfort oneself or to really feel that after paying a huge price and two lines of defense, mankind would surely win the final victory, the sluggish morale finally got a big improvement.

However, when those black shadows came closer and their whole bodies were completely freed from the shadows, the autonomous citizens who were familiar with the corpse apes began to feel that something was wrong. The hair on these corpse apes showed signs of falling off in large areas, but their bodies were not seriously damaged as expected. Such complete corpse apes are quite rare in places like this.

These big guys did not approach immediately, but followed slowly and slowly behind the zombie tide. The pressure of such slow movement made everyone present feel uncomfortable.

"What are those beasts doing?"

"If you want to come on, come on!"

"Come here and take a shot!"

In fact, everyone knows that these zombies can't understand what they are shouting at all, and they will not have any additional reaction to the stimulation of these sounds when they are controlled by the commander. It is just that yelling and cursing under huge pressure is a good outlet to vent their emotions. , retreated here from the outer wall, and then the final retreat was cut off by the River Island. No one is not angry, and no one is not afraid.

Rocco had a vague feeling that something was not right. He immediately issued an order to deploy two machine guns from the few machine guns to stop firing at the zombie tide and instead conduct long-distance burst fire tests on the zombie apes.

The machine gunner who received the order fired several shots at the black shadow of the corpse ape, and then burst out several bursts of fire in everyone's astonished eyes... Can't the bullet penetrate? !

"boom!"

A zombie ape suddenly took a stance ready to start, and before everyone could recover from the shock that the bullet failed to penetrate the corpse ape's skin, his thick upper limbs suddenly exerted force, turning his body into a cannonball. It smashed into a front-row house that was part of the defense line.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The explosion sounded, and the house hit by the corpse ape's body was completely turned into ruins and torn apart. The team members were crushed into pieces of flesh embedded in the gaps by the terrifying impact. The corpse ape slowly crawled out of the collapsed ruins. From the folded lower body, it can be seen that his spine was also broken at once, and he could only crawl forward with his two forearms.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

One person raised the shotgun in his hand and pulled the trigger on the corpse ape's face. The scattered bullets penetrated from the eyes, nostrils and mouth and exploded half of its face. However, the corpse ape, which felt no pain, did not care about these. His arm smashed into the man's body, turning him into one with the mud at his feet.

"Stop him! He's going to destroy the defense!"

Almost the second after he died, it seemed that the survivor who had just survived in the destroyed house suddenly opened up the tiles on his body, pulled a piece of homemade explosive that lit the fuse and threw it at the corpse ape's body. On his back, he pressed the explosive between his body and the corpse ape. The bursting flames instantly engulfed them. The mutilated body was turned into fragments all over the sky in the explosion. However, this brave man's life-saving effort could not stop him. As the corpse ape advanced, the fur on its back was torn to pieces, and its white spine was exposed to the air. The surviving corpse ape was still moving forward.

Rocco shouted anxiously, but the people near the corpse ape were shocked by its ferocity. No one dared to step forward to strike, even though they all saw that the frail brain was exposed in the ferocious face that was blown apart. organize.

"Get out of the way!"

A young man with brown skin suddenly came from behind. The hand that was reaching for the gun behind his back suddenly stopped. Then he snatched a rough spear from an autonomous citizen next to him and roared towards the corpse ape.

The corpse ape also discovered this human who still dared to continue to approach it. He raised his arms to prepare this person to follow in his footsteps. Unexpectedly, the other person next to him who was just standing there and not daring to do anything suddenly raised his shovel and shouted. It hit its arm, and this delay successfully helped Milang drive the spear into the opponent's head before the corpse ape's fist fell.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The moment the Corpse Ape was killed by Miran, the crowd erupted in loud shouts. First-order Corpse Ape, they killed a First-order Corpse Ape, even if it was just one...

As the protagonist, Miran sat down on the ground exhausted. It was impossible not to be afraid, but he also knew that if he could not inspire the courage of the defenders, his death would only be a matter of time.

The monster's attack continued, and the commander repeated his old trick and once again threw in a first-order corpse ape. However, this time he did not achieve the same results as last time. The position of the corpse ape was smashed off-center, and then it was hit by a few brave people who dared to get close. Killed by the explosives thrown by the attacker. After calming down, the human side finally realized this dangerous but effective way of killing the enemy.

It seems that because there are not many first-order corpse apes in his hands, the commander does not continue to take similar measures. He just continues to direct the zombie tide forward to continue this consumption.

But at this moment, a scene that no one expected happened happened. The suspension bridge that was originally hung high behind them, cutting off all their escape routes, suddenly made a harsh sound, then suddenly fell and reconnected with the violent impact. between the road and the town of Vibbs.

After a moment of astonishment, Rocco suddenly mustered up all his strength and shouted towards the tavern, or in the direction of the tavern: "Open the gate!"

The harsh sound of metal friction sounded from near the river behind the tavern. In just a moment, the river water almost swept everything away, rushing in from their sides and rear. They followed the trajectory of the trench on the ground and bypassed the third line of defense to attack the tide of corpses. The direction continues to rush forward.

what is that?

While everyone was still in shock, Rocco, as the leader of the gate construction, used his biggest trump card and immediately ordered his cronies: "The first guard is divided into two, and one quickly crosses the bridge and seizes control. Quan, one group will follow with wounded soldiers and civilians, and the rest will slowly retreat to provide cover!"

"Keep it with me, Pepps. I will deal with him myself when I cross the river."

……

It's my birthday tomorrow and I have a day off.

Chapter 22 Town Defense Battle 5

"Ha ha……"

Breathing rapidly as his chest heaved violently, and his heart beating wildly due to nervousness pounded in his ears. Jay stared blankly at the hatchet in his hand. Until now, he still couldn't believe what he had done.

Just now, he cut off the rope pulling the suspension bridge with his own hands, and lowered the suspension bridge with his own hands. What on earth happened?Is he crazy? Why would he do such a thing?

In the end what happened?

He only remembered that a little girl suddenly ran from the direction of the castle behind him. He recognized that girl as one of the people sent by Man. Her bright purple hair and beautiful face would not be easily forgotten by anyone who saw it. , he wanted to step forward to stop the girl from approaching, but he didn't expect that the other party actually spoke first.

"Put down the bridge..."

The girl's voice is very nice, with a hint of hoarseness in her soft voice. The evening breeze blowing from the river is sent to your ears. Put down the bridge?How can it be?This was Lord Pepps' order... A trace of resistance arose in his heart but was quickly calmed down. For some reason, Jie suddenly felt that the voice conveyed a mission that he had to carry out.

The remaining sense of resistance in his consciousness was still hesitating, but his body had already taken action. He picked up the hatchet and struck it on the rope. A rope as thick as an arm could not be cut off so easily. He struck several times before cutting. One branch was broken, and he suddenly came to his senses when he cut off the second one, but it was already too late. The fallen suspension bridge reconnected with the town, and he did it all by himself.

Could it be that girl?Could his abnormal behavior have anything to do with her?Jay wanted to look for the girl, but the girl had already sneaked away while he was cutting the rope.

"Jay? What did you do?"

The lowered suspension bridge alarmed everyone on the island in the middle of the river. After hearing the news, several Guard members who came were extremely shocked when they saw their team leader next to the device that controlled the suspension bridge. They thought it was someone swimming by in the town. They quietly landed on the island and lowered the suspension bridge across the nearly 20-meter-long rushing river. Unexpectedly, they never thought that a mole had been caught in their trap.

"I... this..." He glanced at the ax in his hand and quickly threw it aside. Then he realized that his performance was even more suspicious. Several members of the guard had already removed the black hole. The gun was pointed at him, and Jie was anxious and unable to explain. He didn't know what he should say, saying that his behavior just now was out of control?If he hadn't experienced it personally just now, he would never believe it.

Suddenly, commotion and shouts broke out on the other side, which temporarily saved Jie's predicament. They clearly saw more than a dozen lighted torches rushing towards this side from the bridge.

"Alert! Everyone returns to their fighting positions! People from the town are rushing over!"

The bell representing the state of emergency rang, and several team members were immediately entangled. Judging from the scene they saw, Jie must be the culprit who lowered the suspension bridge, but Jie, an autonomous civilian from the same tribe, as the team leader, was very interested in him. Their care is pretty good, but now it’s an emergency, how should they make a decision?

"First...return to the combat position! I will explain this matter later!"

No matter how to solve the current predicament first, the team members looked at each other for a while and finally agreed to Jie's proposal and ran towards their respective combat positions. Jie knew that it was fortunate that the one who discovered him first was a member of his own team, otherwise he would have been killed on the spot. It's not impossible.

Just as the guards on the island in the center of the river were hurriedly taking up their positions at the fighting positions, the town guards who rushed onto the bridge had also reached the middle of the bridge. Seeing the muzzles pointing at themselves and others in front of them becoming more and more intensive, Heza's thoughts Turn rapidly.

"People on the bridge stop immediately. No one is allowed to cross the bridge without the order of the administrator! Otherwise we will shoot!" A middle-aged man hiding behind the bunker wearing not a guard uniform but a castle attendant's uniform held up a gun. A crude loudspeaker made of sheet metal shouted loudly at the people on the bridge.

"We were dispatched to the island to strengthen defenses under the order of the administrator!" Heza shouted at the top of his lungs, and the other guards also echoed loudly.

The guards of Hexin Island hesitated again. If it was such an obvious lie before, they shouldn't believe it. But until now, they still don't know why the suspension bridge was lowered. Could it be that someone really got the administrator? Are they allowed to pass the order?

Seeing the town guards on the bridge getting closer and closer, while the guards on his side were hesitating due to such rough remarks, the castle attendant who was sent to supervise the advance could not help but feel a little angry: "You..."

"Snapped!"

The sound of gunfire and the light of fire came from the crowd on the bridge. The attendant whose head was shot by a bullet fell straight to the ground without any possibility of survival. All the guardsmen stared dumbfounded at the position where the attendant was standing just now. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the town guard finally ran the final distance and landed on the island in the middle of the river.

"Surf your gun and don't kill! Everyone, hand your gun!"

The town guards shouted and dispersed in all directions, like wolves pounced on the sheep. It was obvious that the guards with nearly 200 people had an absolute advantage over the town guards with less than 20 people, and the weapons in their hands were also more advanced. However, they still inevitably fell into panic. Some turned around and ran away towards the castle, some threw away their weapons and raised their hands to surrender. Those who stood there indifferently were taken away by the guards who rushed forward and threw their guns away. He was kicked down and dared not move again. Faced with a group of extremely fierce guards who were soaked in blood, no one dared to fight back.

This scene fell in the eyes of Jay and his team members. He suddenly gritted his teeth and jumped out of his bunker and shouted to the guards crossing the bridge: "It's me! It was my team that lowered the suspension bridge!"

Even Heza himself did not expect that the process of seizing the bridge would be so easy. He thought that a firefight was inevitable and that they would have to pay at least some casualties. But now they managed to take over the place unscathed with only one bullet, and even several people were injured. Few people defected to them, and of course he knew that these were not credible until he actually captured Peps.

But what kind of stuff is that Pepps looking for?To be so vulnerable.

There was no time to make a more detailed assessment of the combat effectiveness of these administrators' personal guards. After successfully gaining a foothold, Heza followed Rocco's instructions and took out a flare gun and fired a green flare into the sky to indicate the success of the operation.

After arranging several people to guard the prisoners here and waiting for the response, they led the remaining people towards the castle without stopping.

So fast?

The speed of seizing the bridge was completely beyond Rocco's expectations. They didn't even have time to complete the preparations for retreat. Fortunately, the power of the river was quite strong. Except for the higher terrain in the area where they were, the other areas of the town were Almost all of them were submerged by this man-made flood, and the tide of scattered corpses would not be able to come up for a while.

After emergency arrangements were made for another group of guards to land on the island for support, injured and injured civilians began to be transferred to the island one after another.

After all, it is just a sluice with simple guidance supplemented by trenches. Only the first wave of water is the most impactful. Then when the river water gathers in low-lying areas and becomes equal to the river surface, the effect of this trump card will also be That's it for now.

Until the last person landed on the island in the middle of the river, the monsters also touched the bridge. The town guards who had seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition re-suppressed the zombie tide's fortifications. Just in case, they would have their ropes cut off and unable to do anything. The suspension bridge that controlled the rise was blown up, and among the subsequent tide of corpses across a river, only corpse apes could pose a threat to them.

Although they knew that it was not really safe yet, everyone still breathed a sigh of relief. Their bodies were so exhausted that they couldn't help but fall directly onto the muddy ground.

Rocco forced himself to direct the arrangements for guarding the prisoners and defensive positions. At this moment, someone suddenly came to him again and reported: "Captain! The zombie wave has retreated!"

Ok?

Rocco's spirit perked up. He suddenly raised his head and raised his telescope to look at the other side. The tide of corpses that had been wandering on the other side of the river was indeed retreating. Did he realize that the island in the middle of the river was not easy to attack?Or do you plan to launch a new offensive from upstream and downstream?

……

He didn't know how long he had been moving forward quickly, but the faint sound of gunfire became more and more intense in his ears. Finally, in the darkness, only the conspicuous firelight in the direction of the town fell into Hiiragi Jing's eyes.

The zombie tide... is indeed a large-scale zombie tide...

"Go to the tree!" Upon hearing this, Irene immediately carried Hiiragi on her back and jumped to the top of the tree crown. The flares in the sky had not yet fallen. Under the light, the wave of corpses that continued to attack the town showed extremely terrifying discipline. At this moment The wall has been destroyed by the zombie tide, and the monsters are continuing to attack the town's second line of defense.

Hiiragi's eyes were fixed on the highest point of light in the town, where the tavern was located.

Ruoxiang should be safe...but she won't last long.

Hiiragi Jing didn't know that Ruoxiang had been sent to Hexin Island by Man at this time. She only knew that Vibus Town would not be able to sustain for long under such an offensive, but among them, the ones with the most powerful combat power were Irene and Porus. There were only two of them. Even if they all attacked the zombie tide regardless of her and Custer's safety, it would be impossible to fight against so many monsters. Because of the limited width of the battlefield, only a part of the zombie tide actually attacked the town, and more were ambushed. In the shadows of the jungle.

"This is……"

Poluk and Custer also jumped up to the canopy of the tree and stood beside them. The two of them were obviously shocked by the mass of walking corpses in front of them.

"This is a zombie tide. The monsters gathered by the walking corpses will be attracted by the aura of the gathered humans. Under normal circumstances, the offensive is scattered, but..." Looking at the serious expression on the corpse tide's calm face, "It seems that there should be a commander. ”

"Commander?"

"You just need to understand it as the commander of the monster. I will explain it to you in detail when I have time."

Seeing Hei Jing's uneasiness, Custer wanted to keep silent and give the other party room to think, but she suddenly thought of something: "Well, your friend in the small town is also a girl..."

"Yes, she is also a witch. She came here with me from the Southern Federation." Hiiragi quickly thought about what Custer had said and then asked Irene, "Can you find their commander?"

"It will take some time..."

"Napoluke, you and Irene act together."

Poluk glanced at Irene and then at Custer, and nodded with some reluctance and agreed.

"If possible, don't kill it. Even if the zombie tide loses control, it will instinctively attack the town..." If it is just to rescue Ruoxiang, there is no need to go to such trouble. There won't be many decent obstacles in fighting through the out-of-control zombie tide. But it was not easy to find clues about the witch, and it was not easy to find a trustworthy force in Orfanto. More importantly, Hiiragi Jing could not remain indifferent to the human disaster in front of her, "Catch it alive as much as possible, as long as it does not hurt The vitality of the commander is very tenacious when it comes to critical points..."
