Chapter 995 - 430 Negotiation_2
What no one knew was that, amid the lively gunfire and brazen explosions of humanity, countless zombies from Central City were surging towards South City. In the north of South City, 65% of the territory was still in the hands of the undead. The reason why Little Tyrant could firmly occupy 35% of South City and even spare forces to launch a surprise attack on the Eastern Base was all due to the natural barriers.
The South City New District was originally a small county town, separated from the old city by four large mountains. Under urban expansion, some of these mountains had been transformed into parks, while some were leveled, and the main transportation hub connecting the new and old South City was the 1.2-kilometer-long South City Tunnel. Without this tunnel, the New South City could only be reached by detouring dozens of kilometers east or west.
Aside from the South City Tunnel, there was one more road, an overpass built over the park. Little Tyrant had already destroyed the overpass and used trucks to block the tunnel, also setting up sentry posts at the entrance to the tunnel. Sentry personnel could often hear the roars and destruction of zombies inside the tunnel, but they didn’t care.
Above the tunnel was the South City Botanical Garden. It was a mountain, not tall, with cliffs on both sides, and an astonishing view. Therefore, South City Mountain was preserved and developed into a botanical garden, acting as a patch of green in the city. Tourists could travel to the botanical garden from the stairs in the new and old South City, but now the stairs leading up the mountain from the old city had been destroyed by Little Tyrant’s men.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, if zombies wanted to reach New South City, they would have to detour from the east or west. The Alliance had already cleared most of the zombies within their territory on both sides, and considering the terrain and other factors, neither the east nor the west would pose a significant threat to New South City.
In the fierce urban battles a few days ago, soldiers from the Eastern Base who had broken into South City were trapped in a building not far from the tunnel. The assault group members hid in the South City Botanical Garden above the tunnel and launched attacks on the Eastern Base soldiers. Heavy artillery from the thermal power plant bombarded the botanical garden and the area near the tunnel fiercely.
Due to the stalemate in the battle, Little Tyrant had no spare troops or manpower to check the defense facilities, after all, he had already deployed defenses up to Yangshan Water Plant, and had to be ready for combat with the Eastern Base at any moment. During the negotiation period, scattered zombies had appeared in the streets of New South City. However, since the area near the tunnel was an earlier battlefield, all personnel had evacuated from the area, and no one noticed that an increasing number of zombies was entering the region.
The zombies weren’t waiting; rather, they had lost their target. In the absence of relatively intense sounds, they could only wander here, with only the occasional few lost zombies stumbling into the human world.
