"Zzzzz~"
"Hello? Is Captain Xu there? If you receive this, please respond! Over!"
Glancing at Lei Tong, Xu Renjie slowly picked up the hand-held radio on his shoulder and replied indifferently, "This is Xu Renjie. Speak your mind! Over!"
"Captain Xu! How is the situation at the gymnasium? Have you found any signs of the trapped soldiers? Over!"
"The situation at the gymnasium is terrible! We have not found any traces of the trapped soldiers! Over!"
Xu Renjie truthfully relayed the situation inside the gymnasium. Upon hearing this, Old Zhao and the others couldn’t help but look solemn.
What others thought, Tang Xiaoquan didn’t know, but in his opinion, the chances of any soldier’s survival were slim if they hadn’t been found by now.
It’s just that at this critical juncture, due to the emotions of those around him, he couldn’t express this.
Still, considering Xu Renjie’s personality and the professionalism of a career soldier, Tang Xiaoquan worriedly pressed the communication button and then cautiously reminded, "Captain Xu! I hope you rember what we discussed before we set out: this mission is to rescue people, not to throw away our lives! If there are no traces of the soldiers in the gymnasium, you must evacuate imdiately and absolutely avoid going inside the player tunnel. Rember, you are responsible for the soldiers around you!! Over!"
After finishing his words, Tang Xiaoquan pinched his forehead. To be honest, he had no idea how much impact his words would have.
But given the current situation, being outside the gym was the only thing he could do.
Xu Renjie stood dumbfounded in place, and the young man’s last words, "Rember to be responsible for the soldiers around you," echoed like thunder in his ears.
Yes! If I go down now, Lei Tong and the others will definitely not let it go, and then not only will Luo Yi and the three be untraceable, but my brothers on the bulldozer could also be burdened.
Thinking of this, Xu Renjie sighed lightly, then gently lowered Lei Tong’s 92-style pistol and spoke into the radio, "Li Xiaoxin! Turn around! We’re withdrawing! Over!"
After saying this, Xu Renjie seed to age significantly, a sense of helpless despondency instantly sweeping over his entire body.
He felt like a deserter on the battlefield, having no face to confront the missing Luo Yi and others.
Li Xiaoxin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had clearly seen the confrontation just now on the bulldozer, but due to the reality of the situation, he couldn’t persuade them.
Fortunately, Zhao Tang and the others’ tily communication stopped this extrely dangerous confrontation.
Nothing more needed to be said. Although he was also very anxious about the fruitless search, staying any longer clearly had no significance.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble!" After a brief stop, the bulldozer started moving again. As the steel-armored body moved, the beasts surrounding it imdiately fell to the ground like wheat in a field.
In just a few seconds, patches of black blood spread all over the ground, the putrid stench perating the air.
Perhaps realizing their prey was about to escape, the zombie horde’s attack instantly beca more ferocious.
Both Runners and Climbers were desperately launching attacks at the bulldozer.
For a ti, the air was filled with deafening roars, countless beasts swarming like ants to the front of the bulldozer.
Those who could climb climbed, those who could run ran, and those who couldn’t do anything swung their arms, forming a wall of corpses to block the bulldozer’s "steps."
Without a doubt, in the face of the bulldozer’s mighty driving power, not to ntion a wall of corpses, even a real wall could be shattered and pushed aside.
So unsurprisingly, all those brave and fearless beasts’ attempts to block it all turned into smashed at pulp, causing not a single substantial harm to the bulldozer.
However, even if the zombies couldn’t stop the bulldozer’s advance, it didn’t an they couldn’t get close to the prey inside the vehicle.
Using various corners of the vehicle body, the Climbers could easily ascend the vehicle, making Li Xiaoxin, inside the driver’s chamber at the lower rear of the vehicle, the primary target for the beasts’ attacks.
The windows on both sides were already completely sealed by the beasts, with even one Climber on the front ceaselessly clawing and striking the windshield.
Though the vehicle’s safety was guaranteed due to added iron bars, the fact of obscured windows and limited visibility was undeniable.
Comparatively, the situation of Xu Renjie, Lei Tong, and Hua Biao in the scoop was even worse.
They were under attack from three sides, the most defenseless being the Climbers circumventing from the top of the vehicle behind the bulldozer.
These creatures often used leaping attacks, and even a mont’s negligence could beco a fatal blow to the action team mbers busy guarding the sides.
Indeed, in the midst of talking, a Climber silently approached and took advantage of the gap as Lei Hua Xu’s trio killed its companions to jump down from the top of the vehicle.
"Clang!" The nearly 1.7-ter figure fell straight into the scoop. With limited scoop space, the falling beast inevitably dragged Xu Renjie down to the ground.
It’s lucky that Xu Renjie was well-equipped; otherwise, just from that fall, if not killed by the zombies, the impact of falling back onto the steel plate could have been a fatal blow to his rear skull.
The Climbers reacted extrely quickly, at least compared to past Pacers, having adapted their physical abilities much better in coordination.
Similarly, as a mber of the Sharp Blade Company, Xu Renjie wasn’t to be underestimated. His first reaction was to drop the steel shovel in his hand and step forward to draw the Triangular Military Dagger hidden within it.
Ignoring the beast’s claws, he believed that the creature’s claws could not penetrate his puncture-proof suit, so without hesitation, Xu Renjie raised the Triangular Military Dagger to stab it into the creature’s back of the head.
Twisting and pulling, black blood flowed down the blade’s handle. After killing the enemy, Xu Renjie didn’t linger, pushing the dead body off his body and then flipped to stand up.
"Captain! Are you okay?" Seeing Xu Renjie stand, Lei Tong asked with concern, but the police steel fork in his hand remained pointed downward, striving to block the incoming Climbers.
"I’m fine! Keep fighting!"
Zombies continuously climbed, while the task force mbers persistently stabbed, the two sides engaging in a battle on the expansive bulldozer.
Li Xiaoxin, through the intermittent windshield slits, struggled to maneuver the driving direction of the bulldozer.
After a while of tumbling, the surrounding light gradually dimd, indicating they had entered the passageway.
Monts later, the darkness dissipated, familiar light appeared once more, and the bulldozer thankfully but precariously broke out of the gymnasium.
Watching the still clamoring, persistently pursuing zombie horde behind the vehicle, Xu Renjie couldn’t help but exhale deeply.
Regardless, their side had gotten out.
As for what to do next, frankly speaking, his mind was too muddled to have any ideas.
But before all else, his eyes coldly glanced at the still stubborn beasts clinging to the vehicle. Xu Renjie bent down to retrieve the previously discarded police steel fork before issuing the final command of this mission: "Finish them off!!" (To be continued.
