The Yama Corps, ready and waiting on site, mostly carried walkie-talkies, and the majority of people present heard the voice. Those who had just mustered up courage suddenly deflated halfway, looking helplessly at their own leader, or turning their gaze to Zhang Su...
"Damn, what a bloody jinx! I’m speechless!"
Yang Xinqi stomped his foot, glaring at Liu Yao with extreme disdain.
"I...damn?"
Liu Yao was also dumbfounded himself; since when did his mouth become this prophetic?
Li Zongkai frowned and sighed, Zhang Xin, Cai Zhichao, and others had quirky expressions. After glancing at Liu Yao, they all turned their gaze to Zhang Su.
For a moment, Zhang Su also froze, not because his brain crashed, but because many thoughts emerged in his mind in an instant.
A conservative estimate of fifteen or sixteen thousand, at most close to twenty thousand zombies, coming from two directions to encircle them. It’s not that they can’t defeat them with the people gathered on the highway. After all, the combat power these people have now, saying it’s the strongest in Qin City wouldn’t be an exaggeration. It’s the strongest force gathered from five houses, not weaker than the Cyan Dragon Corps back then!
But facing two hordes at the same time is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two. The risks and variables will multiply. He wanted a beautiful victory, not a rocky one with precarious wins, absolutely not allowing casualties!
Because casualties would bring numerous negative impacts.
There is also a deeper consideration, that if they seize this opportunity to eradicate nearly twenty thousand zombies, it effectively alleviates the dangerous pressure between Qin City’s north to Qing County.
Under what circumstances do people prefer to huddle together?
It’s apparent, surely when external pressure is huge, when powerful foreign enemies push to the doorstep leaving no room for negotiation, if there’s no danger, the necessity to huddle greatly diminishes.
Will exterminating the zombie horde turn into a stumbling block for recruiting four house forces into Celestial Horse Island?
This thought flashed and disappeared, the zombie crisis is far more than just these one or two thousand heads.
"Brother Su, should we change our strategy?"
Liu Tianji ran to Zhang Su’s side and asked softly, meaning obviously, it’s still time to decide to lead away the zombies.
"We’re strong and robust, not afraid of mere twenty thousand zombies, just need to slightly adjust the plan!"
Zhang Su decided, this battle must be fought, otherwise it will suffer even greater impacts, bring out the trump card, deal with the immediate trouble, there’s nothing much to it.
With the strategy decided, the next step is to issue orders. Just as he was about to press the communication button, the voice came out from the walkie-talkie again, still Zhang Ya, in a tense and suppressed tone.
"Brother Su, things are not good, another zombie horde appeared in the northwest direction, about three kilometers away, less than four kilometers. This horde... seems to be a convergence of the two hordes led away previously, many of them, at least twelve to thirteen thousand in scale!"
...
Liu Yao, with bewildered eyes, glanced at Zhang Su and others, secretly sneaked to hide behind the crowd, he himself was scared, the jinx power of his mouth was too strong, how did he not discover this before.
Zhang Su swallowed hard at the words stuck in his throat, flipping his eyes upward to the cloudy sky, everything today was as unpredictable as floating clouds in the sky.
"Damn it, we’ve killed so many before, even led a horde to the North Second Ring Road, at most only thirty thousand zombies were left, seems like all of them came today, what the hell bad luck!"
Zhao Dezhu angrily rebuked.
The people from other forces all fell silent, not knowing the specifics, only those who participated in the division and guidance of Qing County’s southward zombies knew the specifics.
There’s actually a problem with Zhao Dezhu’s words, logically the southward zombies in various ways were solved one after another, long ago less than thirty thousand heads. Yet now facing three hordes together, the number is up to twenty-six or seven thousand, or even more.
Obviously, the zombie horde in the past half month, kept drawing wandering zombies from villages into their ranks, gradually getting bigger.
"Brother Su, maybe we should..."
Wang Xin wanted to persuade, but seeing Zhang Su raise his hand, he dared not speak further.
Zhang Su looked west, the zombie horde chasing the drone like demons dancing around, north blocked by obstacles where another horde slowly closed in, farther northwest an army of zombies pressed tightly.
It’s like they knew Celestial Horse Island was gathered with lots of fresh flesh, hurriedly coming from afar just to attend a grand Taotie feast.
The scene was silent, those who were ambitious and high-spirited before were deflated, leaning on barriers smoking and chatting, showing worry. Some who were less mentally strong, already started sweating with the weapon-gripping hand.
The original average kill count was fifty to sixty, aided by various facilities, this index was a bit high but not absurd. Following the urgent report added to the northern zombie horde, the average kill count instantly climbed to over a hundred!
Instantly breaking the limit, many couldn’t imagine such intensity.
Until now it’s no big deal, at worst painfully fight through, people always have to break limits to grow, then isn’t there a tank behind, drive it up to crush, providing some breathing time.
But before everyone had psychological construction done, a greater crisis quietly arrived...
The crowd felt dispirited, they hadn’t considered the death crisis, because by now, direct killing was already impossible, the next step was to do what they had done many times before, divide the horde, attract zombies, lead away and trap.
"Fight on, I, King Yama, won’t change my decided things, Yama Corps never retreats facing enemies!"
Unexpectedly, just when many already started to back down, Zhang Su announced the decision to continue fighting.
Yuwen, Zheng Xinyu, Zhong Xiaoshan, and others who understood Zhang Su were not surprised at all, they could see Zhang Su’s ideas. Today, this battle must be fought!
The slogans were inspiring, but reality was cruel.
The people of Yama Corps responded to Zhang Su with a fist raised high, the zombies were close, not suitable for loud shouting, this was a memory etched in their bones.
Unfortunately, besides the Yama Corps, only Celestial Horse Island’s Reserve Team members gathered some courage, the remaining majority of fighters from other four houses obviously lacked fighting spirit.
"Hey, Younger Brother Zhang..."
"Everything as planned, Yu Qing, follow me back to camp."
Zhang Xin could feel the thoughts of his subordinates, because he was afraid too, originally planned to persuade Zhang Su, but Zhang Su didn’t even acknowledge him, instead beckoned to Yu Qing carrying a steel rod amidst the crowd, then silently headed towards the car.
Walking halfway, suddenly recalled something, turned to Zhao Dezhu saying: "Zhuzi, take care of this car, I’ll be back soon!"
In everyone’s eyes, Zhang Su brought someone else’s wife onto the car, then pressed the pedal heading towards Celestial Horse Island, leaving over a hundred people stunned, big eyes staring little eyes.
