Thomas came to Li Fei and said to him, "Commander, there is something wrong. We found a purple zombie 2 kilometers to the east, and it is leading a group of zombies towards us. The number is at least 50,000.
In addition, an armed force of more than 2,000 people was discovered 3 kilometers to the west, and they seemed to be from the security team. "
Green, blue, yellow and purple. Purple is a level 5 zombie. According to the system's introduction, a level 5 zombie has the IQ of a normal human, and will devour its own kind. Note that it does not devour corpses of its own kind, but will eat them alive.
This means that as long as there are enough zombies, level 5 zombies will be promoted to level 6, evolve special abilities, and greatly increase their strength.
Li Fei had never even seen a level 4 zombie, so he always believed that the highest level of zombies at this stage was only level 3.
Now a level 5 zombie appears directly with so many zombies, so there must be level 2, 3, and 4 zombies among them. Li Fei realized that the current situation is probably not optimistic.
As for the more than 2,000 people in the security team, Li Fei was not too worried. He did not underestimate them. He could wipe them out by sending any battalion.
But since the security team has taken action, it means that they have surrendered to Zhao Hu, and it was Zhao Hu who ordered them to do so, so Zhao Hu will definitely send troops over. This is what Li Fei is really worried about.
"Contact Liao Tian immediately and ask him to pay attention to the movements in Zhao Hu's camp and report any situation immediately."
Liao Tian, the commander of the 358th Regiment, is currently leading the elite 1st Battalion, an anti-aircraft machine gun company, a howitzer company, 150 tanks and 30 special forces, lurking less than 5 kilometers away from Zhao Hu's camp.
They came here yesterday on Li Fei's orders to monitor Zhao Hu and look for opportunities to raid his lair.
As for the special forces, they were unlocked during the last upgrade. In addition to recruiting an elite regiment, Li Fei also recruited 100 special forces in the past few days. At this time, Li Fei was also accompanied by 50 people, led by Liu Xin, to protect Li Fei's safety.
"Captain, the division commander called and said that the security team has made some moves. The division commander believes that Zhao Hu will definitely send troops to support us, so let's pay attention to the movements ahead."
"Reply to the division commander that everything is normal so far. I will go to the front and keep an eye on it myself. Once Zhao Hu sends troops, I will report to the division commander immediately." Liao Tian said to the communicator.
Just as the communicator was about to leave, Xiao Lifeng, who was in charge of surveillance at the front, came to Liao Tian.
"Captain, there's something wrong. A large number of tanks, armored vehicles and trucks just left Zhao Hu's camp. It's estimated that there are no less than 20,000 people. There are about 80 tanks and about 60 armored vehicles. None of the helicopters have moved."
"The division commander really guessed it right. Communicator, tell him the situation here immediately. Also, tell him that my troops will raid Zhao Hu's camp in an hour."
"Yes." The communicator took the order and left.
"Order the special forces to sneak into the camp, focus on destroying helicopters and artillery positions, and wait for an opportunity to implement the decapitation plan." Liao Tian sent all the special forces out.
There are not many anti-aircraft weapons at present. Although we brought an anti-aircraft machine gun company with us, the other side has 30 armed helicopters. If all of them take off, casualties are inevitable. It is safer to send special forces to go in and destroy them first.
"One hour? Liao Tian has a good grasp of the timing. It takes about one hour and ten minutes from Zhao Hu's camp to here. One hour later is just enough to put this group of support troops in a dilemma." Li Fei learned of Liao Tian's plan and thought it was feasible.
"Jack, take your men to the east to set up positions, and set up all the light and heavy machine guns. Don't save bullets, and fight with all your might.
My requirement is: eliminate all zombies within one hour, and the level 5 zombie must be eliminated.
Commander Chen, you will be responsible for dealing with the security team in the west. "Li Fei made arrangements.
The reason why the mercenary group with strong combat effectiveness was let to deal with the zombies instead of the security team was entirely because they were afraid that the mercenary group would wipe out the security team within an hour. In that case, Zhao Hu's troops would immediately turn around and return, which would disrupt the plans of Li Fei and Liao Tian.
The battle in the east started first. The mercenaries were very experienced in clearing out zombies. The only difference was that this time there were level 5 zombies leading the team, and the zombies' attack seemed quite methodical.
That level 5 zombie, worthy of its human intelligence, always stayed out of the range, making it impossible for Jack, who wanted to destroy it, to do anything about it.
About 15 minutes later, gunshots were heard from the west. The city defense army and the security team finally engaged in a battle. The two sides had similar numbers of people, similar equipment, and the same lack of combat experience. For a while, the fight was evenly matched.
As time passed, there were less than 20 minutes left to an hour, and most of the zombies had been killed, but the remaining zombies were still rushing forward tirelessly, while the level 5 zombies were still commanding from behind.
"If I had known earlier, I would have brought the howitzer here and sent 10 tanks to encircle and destroy that level 5 zombie." Li Fei decided to capture the leader first.
With the addition of tanks, the level 5 zombies felt threatened and wanted to escape. But with 10 tanks surrounding him, he couldn't get away easily.
The machine guns on the tanks fired at him, but the bullets hit his body without causing any harm. Standing in the distance, Li Fei couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene. The level 5 zombies were actually invulnerable to swords and guns.
The level 5 zombies at this time were also enraged and stopped running away. Instead, they rushed towards a tank and scratched the armor on the outside of the tank, leaving scratches one centimeter deep.
"Keep your distance, use artillery fire, and kill him as soon as possible." Li Fei was very afraid when he saw this scene. Invulnerable to swords and guns, with skin of steel and bones, this is only level 5. What would it be like at level 6? What weapon would be needed to kill it?
After hearing Li Fei's order, all the tanks involved in the battle quickly moved back. Then a tank adjusted its angle and fired a shell.
As a result, the zombie dodged it, and the second shell followed, which was not only dodged, but also hit another tank. Although it was not an armor-piercing bullet, it still made the soldiers in the tank dizzy.
In the end, the third and fourth shots were fired almost simultaneously, and the zombies were unable to fire any more before being blown to pieces.
It took a total of 4 shells to kill the level 5 zombie.
At this time, there are less than 7,000 zombies left. It is no longer a concern for the mercenary group, and it is only a matter of time before they are all wiped out.
There are now 5 minutes left until 1 hour, which means that Liao Tian will launch an attack in 5 minutes.
At this moment, Liao Tian was holding a telescope and looking ahead nervously. At first, the special forces' operation was very smooth. They installed time explosives on the helicopters after sneaking into the camp, but only 22 helicopters were found in total, and the other 8 were nowhere to be seen.
Just as the special forces were preparing to find an artillery position to continue installing explosives, a whistle suddenly sounded in the camp, and then countless soldiers ran over from all directions to gather.
The special forces team was in a dilemma. It was impossible for them to leave now, and if they stayed here they might be discovered soon.
