Chapter 1006: Chapter 435: Challenge_3

Next, let’s talk about the Shadow Navy: Blood Meng.

Blood Meng anchored the ship in the middle of the river, turned the speakers on the deck to maximum volume to attract the zombies crowding the riverbank to cross the river. Once the zombies enter areas deeper than one and a half meters, they inevitably float and can only drift downstream.

Next up are the machine gunners of the Shadow Army: Shana and Snow Egg. Their work is tremendously powerful, turning all zombies into paper figures, effortlessly shredded by the heavy machine guns. In fact, a single heavy machine gun could defend the base, provided there is an unlimited supply of bullets.

Since there are no unlimited bullets, heavy machine guns can only be used occasionally to alleviate the situation.

The main force of the Shadow consists of riflemen and pistol soldiers; riflemen being Little Knife and Nightmare, and the pistol soldier being Lin Wu.

The chief logistician, suffering from a slight fever, is Lin Meng, who is responsible for reloading the empty magazines,

Coordination becomes very important again; before the magazines run out, the air force initiates an attack, hampering the zombies’ advance, giving snipers and logistics additional time to reload.

Another special forces unit is naturally Maya. Maya waits inside a helicopter near the Mountain Base, directing the combat at Shadow Base through video feeds provided by Dawn.

Tonight, a red moon hangs high in the sky, providing good lighting. Lin Wu is responsible for the outdoor guard post. For him, the battle is relatively easy; changing magazines, rattling off shots, an average of 12 zombies are killed by every 20 bullets, including the Frenzy type. No Frenzy has been able to get within ten meters of his guard post.

However, Lin Wu also encountered a problem; he not only needs a flexible right hand but also a flexible left hand. Over time, his left hand became somewhat stiff, greatly reducing the speed of loading magazines and pressing bullets.

On Day 176, at two o’clock in the morning, Lin Wu calls out: "The bullets can’t be replenished in time." Six useless pistols lay beside him. The consumption of 5.56 bullets is severe, so Little Knife switched to the AK rifle, which has strong lethality but clearly a lower accuracy rate.

Maya: "Enter the fire circle segment."

A few minutes later, the helicopter arrived above the gathering point. The doors on both sides of the helicopter opened, and Xiao Zhuan and a female colleague sprayed heavy diesel downwards through a hose. Heavy diesel is characterized by its low volatility and a high ignition point, reaching over 200 degrees.

After spraying 100 liters of heavy diesel, Xiao Zhuan lit a cloth strip on a Molotov Cocktail and handed it to Maya, who then threw it out of the window. When the Molotov Cocktail hit the ground, it first exploded, then began to burn. Due to the high ignition point of the heavy diesel, the flames did not spread rapidly but spread at a relatively slow rate.

Soon the gathering area turned into a sea of fire, with countless zombies engulfed in it. After the burning, a large empty area appeared in the previously zombie-packed gathering spot.

As the defensive pressure eased, Lin Wu moved to the furnace side to press bullets, taking a sip of strong liquor to keep warm in between. Lin Meng warned, "Don’t get drunk."

"Drunk in dreams." Lin Wu didn’t know why he responded that way.

Next to Lin Meng, there were several small baskets containing sorted magazines. Stone and Su Shi were transporting ammunition, adding coal to the coal stove, boiling water, pressing bullets intermittently, throwing bamboo tubes filled with gasoline, and refueling the generator among other tasks.

Nightmare reports on the radio: "They are beginning to regroup."

Maya said: "Leave one person on duty; everyone else can eat, drink, or nap by the fire."

Lin Wu: "I’ll change my diaper first."

"I need to change mine, too."

Everyone needed to change; after 5 hours of relentless fighting, while having fun, they were also very tired.

Counting bullets, there are over 700 rounds left for the heavy machine gun, more than 4,000 rounds of 5.56 bullets, more than 5,000 rounds of 7.62 bullets, and 12,000 rounds for the pistols. The firearms have also suffered wear and tear, but the bullet consumption was faster.

Shana calculated: "We can hold on for six more hours."

Maya said: "Start preparing for hellfire."
