Chapter 562: Chapter 278 Defending the City (Part 3)

Lin Wu replied, "Of course there’s no problem."

...

The atmosphere on the way was fairly tense. While driving, Maya asked Shana about the situation at the Sawmill. What was normally a 10-minute journey, they completed in 7 minutes, gaining two extra minutes of preparation time for everyone.

In theory, everyone knew what they needed to do, but they hadn’t conducted any practical training. Considering the fatigue of the field personnel, Maya, who was somewhat hopeful for a stroke of luck, planned to let them rest for a day and carry out on-site tactical drills the following day. Now, it was too late for any instruction; she hoped everyone would understand what they needed to do.

Maya got out of the car and said while walking, "Everyone remember one iron rule: don’t do anything outside your job. For instance, Peanut, your team is the front squad and not responsible for rescuing the injured. Little Knife, your rear squad shouldn’t rashly take over for the front squad; your core task is always to maintain the route of retreat."

Snow Egg called out, "Lin Wu, hurry up."

Lin Wu ran to the west gate, got onto a brace, and several people worked together to pull Lin Wu up high, then secured two ropes in place. Lin Wu checked the supplies and ammunition once more, picked up the Continuous Silencer, and pre-aimed in all directions to quickly get into character.

"Last 50 seconds." Stone added another bucket of fuel before sitting in the driver’s seat of the armored vehicle. The only passenger inside the armored vehicle was Su Shi, who was buckled in with a seat belt and wearing a blindfold.

"30-second countdown."

Everyone took a deep breath, gripped their guns tightly, and watched the time on the mission prompt. As the countdown ended, the edge of the safe zone crazily flickered as hordes of zombies were spawned, forming waves that surged towards the Sawmill.

Maya spoke calmly, "Don’t be deceived by illusions, by observation, they’re refreshing about 30 regular zombies every 5 seconds."

"And there are Exploding Carnages," Lin Wu detonated an Exploding Carnage 40 meters away. From his position, he could overlook the entire factory area and the east-west parking lots, but felt helpless regarding the north and south gates.

The tide of zombies began to crash against the outer gates. The armored vehicle driven by Stone was already engulfed by zombies, but the zombies did not attack the vehicle. Stone asked, "Will the Research Card be refunded if the research facility is destroyed? Will the research results be retained?"

Shana replied, "Not sure, it’s possible."

Maya instructed, "Rear squad, open fire."

The rear squad formed their line of defense between the west parking lot and the west gate, with a metal fence about five meters away from them that had only one small metal door. Beyond the metal door was the open parking lot.

Maya commanded, "Front squad, open fire, stick to your roles."

Zombies from the south, east, and north gates swarmed in. The advantage of the front squad behind the sandbags was not only the barriers set up, but also the way they made the incoming zombies from three sides squeeze together. The zombies collided with each other, many falling to the ground, causing others following to trip over them. The chaotic zombie horde’s only challenge was the players’ accuracy with their Gun Skill.

Maya used a handgun; she placed one foot on a sandbag, extended both hands forward, aimed down, and fired a headshot at a fallen zombie. She raised her gun and continuously shot three zombies three meters away. With the zombies crowded together and losing their agility, she picked them off like targets, keeping the central line consistently two meters beyond the sandbags.

Lin Wu complained, "The corpses will refresh, damn it, I want to complain."

"During a siege, there will be certain corpse refresh rates maintained, approximately no more than sixty bodies per ten square meters," spoke Shana. She was using her rifle to shoot down a zombie trying to climb over the fence half a meter away, effectively pressing the muzzle directly against the zombie’s head and taking advantage of its slowed movement during the climb.

"Really?" Lin Wu questioned, wondering why he hadn’t known that.

"Yes." Everyone answered together. What on earth was he thinking about during the meeting?
