Chapter 44 - 41
"Quick! Everyone act quickly!"
Colbert's face was solemn, and he urged the soldiers to act quickly. Two rows of passenger cars were close to each other on the street and parked across the intersection. The doors and windows of the houses and shops on both sides were all sealed by them to prevent infected people from running inside and Cross the defensive zone.
They fully contracted, abandoning the outskirts of the town and concentrating their forces to defend the streets around the center of the town. The soldiers carried boxes of ammunition and climbed to nearby rooftops. Some brave people even climbed directly onto the passenger cars. On top of that, ready to attack any infected people who may appear at any time.
Some of the remaining soldiers were collecting glass containers and gasoline to make Molotov cocktails, while others moved large furniture such as sofas and cabinets from residences to seal up the bottoms and gaps of the buses.
From time to time, explosions were heard from the outskirts of the town. It seemed that the small team of street soldiers patrolling the outskirts was using grenades to attract the attention of the infected and buy time for the large forces in the center of the town.
Seeing that the tight defense line had been deployed, Colbert was slightly relieved. At least they were no longer engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the infected. As he shouted to the liaison officer beside him, "Has the rest of the defense line been deployed? !"
"The defense line on the east side has been prepared, and the defense areas on the north and south are almost ready!" The liaison officer compiled the news he had just received and reported it to the commander.
"Hiss--!"
But just when he finished speaking, a frightening roar and running footsteps suddenly sounded outside the dark town, and then countless infected people with pale faces and red eyes appeared in the light with their teeth and claws. Then, like an overwhelming force, they rushed towards the bus at the end of the street.
Seeing the infected people rushing towards them in the distance, Colbert's expression suddenly changed, and he didn't care what to say anymore. He quickly ran to the window and shouted to all the soldiers around him, "Fire!"
"Da da da--!"
