Chapter 167 Sea of Corpses
Keep pushing forward.
A high wall made of barbed wire suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
Upon witnessing this scene.
Everyone immediately perked up.
They stared intently at the images transmitted back by the drone.
As the drone flew over the high wall.
The scene inside the high walls suddenly appeared before their eyes: the walls were filled with hordes of zombies.
A quick glance reveals at least several hundred of them.
The number of zombies is about the same as the number in the mining site they previously razed.
However, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
No one knows exactly how many zombies are inside.
"Goodness, no wonder there are no zombies outside, they've all gathered here."
Looking at the screen, there were countless zombies.
Han Bei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
His eyes were filled with astonishment.
He never imagined that after walking for so long without seeing a single zombie, so many would gather inside this walled compound.
"It seems all the zombies in this city are already inside."
Su Yang also spoke up.
His expression was slightly serious.
With so many zombies, the only way for them to safely enter is through artillery fire.
However, they currently do not know the size of the area inside the barbed wire fence, or the exact number of zombies.
Therefore, everything must be done with caution.
"Let's see if we can figure out exactly how big this place is, and also get a rough idea of how many zombies there are."
Guo Yong, who was controlling the drone, couldn't help but speak up.
The number of zombies currently displayed in the footage is far beyond his expectations.
In such a small area, the number of zombies is almost as many as that in the mining area.
He didn't even know how big the military factory was or how many zombies were inside.
No wonder Jiang Xiaolong warned us before that there were quite a few zombies here and that we should be careful.
It seems the other party must also know the specifics of the situation.
I just don't know why he didn't say that.
The drone flew high in the sky, buzzing.
Below them were swarms of zombies.
"Are we... really okay if we go in?"
Seeing so many zombies inside, Han Bei swallowed hard and spoke.
"This number is indeed a bit too many. Without using firepower to cover the area, it will be very difficult to eliminate most of the zombies."
Guo Yong also frowned and said in a deep voice.
If they don't waste their ammunition, they might still be able to give it a try with firepower coverage.
But now they only have so little ammunition left, making it almost impossible to clear out the zombies inside.
To deal with the zombies at the mining site, they used six rounds of firepower, not to mention the even greater number of zombies inside.
"Then what do we do?"
Han Bei looked at Guo Yong and frowned.
There aren't that many rounds of ammunition available for fire coverage; rushing in recklessly would only lead to certain death.
However, if they could obtain the items inside, they might find them quite useful.
"Let's see if we can find any survivors within this city."
Guo Yong pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Since there aren't many zombies in this area, it means it's basically a safe environment, and there should be quite a few survivors."
"Let's see if we can find a suitable approach by working with the survivors, or learn about the specific structure inside the military factory."
"Can it really be found in a short time?"
Han Bei's tone was somewhat suspicious.
Although there weren't many zombies inside and outside the armory, there were other survivors present.
Even when he went out to find food, Han Bei felt that he wanted to find those survivors.
It looks very unlikely.
"Don't you guys think there's something strange about this?"
Su Yang frowned and said.
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell upon Su Yang.
"It's been so long since the apocalypse, how come there are still so many zombies here?"
Su Yang said in a deep voice.
"That's a bit strange."
"Maybe they just can't get out?"
Upon seeing this, Zhu Haotian couldn't help but speak up.
"Do you remember the first city we explored?"
"Are you talking about the city we just traveled to?"
Han Bei was somewhat surprised, not expecting Su Yang to suddenly bring it up.
"That's right."
Su Yang nodded. "The school in that city also has a barbed wire fence, but the zombies use the corpses of their companions to build a wall, and then climb over the barbed wire."
"But there are so many zombies inside, while the ones on the outer perimeter were pitifully few last time we went; we haven't seen a single one yet."
"Don't you find this strange?"
After hearing Su Yang's words, everyone felt that there was some truth to them.
The sheer number of zombies inside this military factory is indeed somewhat unusual.
Even more coincidentally, they haven't seen a single zombie on the outskirts yet.
This seems rather strange.
Just like that.
Those zombies seemed to be doing it intentionally, deliberately staying in that area.
"You mean, someone is controlling these zombies?"
Han Bei looked at Su Yang and asked.
"It's not impossible."
Su Yang nodded, his expression extremely solemn.
If, over time, these zombies' physical abilities continue to improve.
So, before that, in the city where they first landed after their transmigration, at the school they were in.
Those zombies huddled together.
This might well prove the point.
In other words, those zombies were under the command of a powerful zombie king.
It was the zombie king's orders that kept these zombies behaving themselves in this area.
Otherwise, Su Yang couldn't even imagine what reason could be used to explain this situation.
"But if that's the case, wouldn't it make it even more difficult for us to get in?"
Upon hearing this, Han Bei began to ponder.
If what I just said is true, and there is someone controlling those zombies behind the scenes...
There are only two possibilities.
One possibility is that humans, either survivors or surviving research officers, have found a way to control the zombies.
It can command those zombies to stay in this area.
Another possibility.
Among these numerous zombies, one zombie underwent a super evolution.
Whether it's physical attributes, intelligence, or even innate suppressive power, it is far superior to other zombies.
But due to the existence of that zombie.
These zombies were forced to confine themselves to this area.
But if that's the case, what exactly is the zombie king's purpose in doing this?
