Base Defense Tactics! (Three updates seeking votes and collection)
After repelling the Snake Head King, Zhou Feng and others quickly caught up with the convoy again and returned to the border military base together. However, due to the mid-way sniper rescue by the Snake Head Gang, only more than 430 survivors finally arrived at the border military base, suffering extremely heavy casualties.
However, returning to the Bianjun base did not mean that Zhou Feng and others could breathe a sigh of relief, because the fog window period would soon arrive again, and the Bianjun base would be attacked by the corpse group once more.
"The personnel have been arranged, I specially divided a rest area for you to rest, and if not necessary, you can also not participate in the next battle."
After ordering the soldiers to take the survivors of the Self-Rescue Association to the rest area, Luo Zheng also came before Zhou Feng and said seriously: "I didn't expect Snake Head Wang to be so powerful. The three of you joined forces but still couldn't keep him here."
"This time he left behind a hand, next time he will leave behind his life."
With a faint smile, Zhou Feng asked curiously: "By the way, I heard you say that every time there is a foggy window period, a large number of high-level zombies will attack the base. Can you tell us which zombies will come, so we can prepare in advance?"
"Because we are close to the Fog Forest and far from the city, every time there is a fog window period, we don't encounter many zombies. However, these zombies are very powerful and always cause us huge losses."
When Luo Zheng heard Zhou Feng's words, his expression also became more serious. He pursed his dry lips and said: "The corpse group that came out of the Misty Forest, in addition to some ordinary zombies, there are also some zombies holding weapons, even bows and arrows. These zombies have greater strength than ordinary zombies and will use weapons, which is very troublesome."
"That's an undead warrior!"
Upon hearing Luo Zheng's description, Zhou Feng narrowed his eyes and said: "The undead warriors are a type of zero-tier elite zombie. They use weapons and are more ferocious than regular zombies. If there aren't many, it's fine, but if there are a lot, it would indeed be troublesome."
Although he said it was a hassle, Zhou Feng had other plans in mind. Compared to ordinary zombies, the undead warriors who could use weapons were clearly the best candidates for forming an undead legion, as these low-level creatures only needed some zombie genes to be controlled, far more cost-effective than iron zombies that required iron zombie gene fragments to control. And most importantly, Zhou Feng currently had around 30,000 zombie gene fragments in his body.
"So those undead creatures were called Lich Warriors?"
Luo Zheng didn't know that Zhou Feng had already made up his mind to deal with the undead warriors, and continued to say: "Apart from the most numerous zombies and zombie warriors, the ones that give us the biggest headache are those high-level zombies. There are many high-level zombies in the Misty Forest, especially the Iron Claw Zombies. Just during our last expedition into the mist-shrouded forest, we killed 21 of them. And apart from the Iron Claw Zombies, there's another type that surpasses ordinary Iron Claw Zombies in terms of physical strength and defense - the Iron Claw Zombie Leaders. Then there's a type of zombie that looks human but is extremely fast and has an eerie attack style. These zombies are basically immune to ordinary gunfire attacks, especially the Iron Claw Zombie Leaders which require rocket launchers to inflict serious damage on them. Moreover, they're very agile and know how to avoid danger, so even with rocket launchers, it's actually very hard to hit them. It's precisely because of these high-level creatures' constant attacks that our casualties have been increasing."
"Iron corpse head, and a kind of undead creature that looks like a human but is very fast with an extremely strange attack method?"
After listening to Luo Zheng's words, Zhou Feng suddenly recalled the kind of variant infected person he had encountered at that time. From this point of view, there are indeed many high-level zombies in the Misty Forest, otherwise, Bian Jun would not have killed 21 iron corpses in a defensive battle.
This is also thanks to Luo Zheng and others who guarded this base close to the Misty Forest, otherwise if so many high-level zombies poured into the city, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"Don't worry, this time we'll take care of those high-level zombies and they won't be able to stir up much trouble."
A faint smile, and a flash of excitement lit up Zhou Feng's eyes. To others, these high-level zombies were undoubtedly nightmares, but to him, they were the nutrients that made him stronger. Twenty-one Iron Zombies, not to mention how much they could enhance his physical qualities, just those enough to support two Iron Zombie transformations were enough to make him excited beyond words.
"As long as those high-level zombies can't get in, no matter how many zombies come, they're just free diamonds for us."
Upon hearing Zhou Feng's words, Luo Zheng's complexion also improved a lot. As long as those high-level zombies didn't cause trouble, ordinary zombies wouldn't be able to break through the strong defensive fortifications and firepower blockade of the border army no matter how many came. And he could also foresee that after this battle, they would reap even more abundant crystal diamonds.
"In two hours, the fog will clear and I think we can discuss our next course of action."
Just as Zhou Feng and Luo Zheng were both full of confidence in dealing with the incoming zombies, Ya Gan suddenly said: "I personally think that simply relying on defensive fortifications to defend is not the best choice. If your military base can follow our self-help association's defense method, then it will not only improve our efficiency in killing zombies but also reduce the damage to your military's defensive fortifications."
He paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Judging from the dents and claw marks on the gate of your military base, this gate should have withstood many powerful impacts. If it continues like this, the gate may collapse or be scrapped at any time."
"Oh, what suggestions do you have then?"
Luo Zheng was not an old stubborn who couldn't listen to others' opinions. At this moment, when he heard Ya Gan's words, he just smiled lightly and gestured for Ya Gan to continue speaking.
"According to what you said, the bloodline you possess should be a strong offense and defense meat shield type, so I'd like to ask, if it were just you alone, could you withstand an Iron Claw Corpse or an Iron Claw Corpse Head?"
Without any hesitation, he simply nodded and asked about Luo Zheng's actual strength.
"If the bloodline special effect is not triggered, it's no problem to deal with ordinary Iron Claw Zombies, but if you want to deal with the leader of the Iron Claw Zombies, you need to trigger the bloodline special effect."
Upon hearing the words, Luo Zheng nodded and said: "My Sword Shield Knight bloodline has a passive effect of toxin resistance, so even if I'm bitten or scratched by zombies, I won't be infected. In full force, I can probably take on five ordinary Iron Claw Zombies and one Iron Claw Zombie leader alone."
"Is it toxin-resistant? What an enviable special effect."
He pulled out a peanut from his pocket and put it in his mouth, then said with a crunching sound: "If that's the case, then you, Snake Tooth, and Iron Wolf can form a defensive line stronger than the base gate. And the armored vehicles inside the base can form a second line of defense. So I suggest, next time when the zombie tide comes, open the gate and let you, Snake Tooth, and Iron Wolf attract the high-level zombies' attention, while the other soldiers use firepower to block the low-level zombies from entering at the base walls. This way, we can solve the zombie tide in the shortest time possible and also maximize your combat effectiveness."
"What if there's someone who slipped through the net?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Zheng slightly narrowed his eyes and said: "You should know that some undead creatures have extremely fast movement speeds. If they suddenly burst in from the side, we might not be able to block them all!"
"As you said, since these creatures can all break through your blockade, what's the point of having a one-way gate for them? At least with your attraction, they won't go attack the soldiers on the wall."
With a faint smile, he said confidently: "Moreover, the enhancement of undead creatures is generally very targeted, with high defense and strength, but slow speed. And you said that kind of creature has fast speed and strong attack, so its defense should be very weak, right?"
"That's right, ordinary weapons can hurt them."
He nodded and a smile also appeared on Luo Zheng's face, saying: "I understand what you mean, you want to lead those creatures into the base, and then use us to attract zombies, and you come to kill?"
"That's right!"
Swallowing the food in his mouth, he said confidently: "I don't dare say anything else, but my gun skills and Murong Yu's are absolutely top-notch. As long as you guys block those iron corpses, we can handle all the other zombies that rush into the camp."
"That's right, their marksmanship is indeed very good."
At the same time, Zhou Feng also nodded and said: "You should have seen Zeng Rou's shooting skills. The two of them will absolutely not lose to Zeng Rou in terms of shooting skills, and they also have more combat experience."
"Alright then, let's do it as you said."
Looking at that confident expression, and having obtained Zhou Feng's guarantee, Luo Zheng finally nodded his head, smiling as he said: "Then let's hope we can cooperate happily this time, and get rid of those disgusting guys."
"It should be eating them instead..."
Looking at Luo Zheng's smile, Zhou Feng also faintly revealed a hint of longing in his heart.
Is it a high-level zombie? That's even better food than ordinary zombies.
