doomsday survival

Chapter 378 Unpredictable situation
With the continuous flashing of sparks, the guide cable shortened rapidly, and wisps of white smoke slowly rose from above, and soon formed a faint smoke.

The "chi chi" sound produced by burning the fuse was inaudible in the roar of the zombies.These roaring zombies still don't know what kind of things they will face soon.

Shi Jian and the others stood far away from the mine, looking coldly at the zombies who were about to bid farewell to the sun.

"If the research is normal, these zombies can live for another 100 years without any food supplement." Shi Jian pointed to the group of zombies and said to others.

"Boss Shi," Feng Chen took the words and said with some regret, "In that case, this mine will not be able to be developed within a hundred years."

Shi Jian chuckled, and said: "Anyway, this place is also occupied by zombies. We can't develop and utilize it. Why don't we seal him for 200 years."

"However, the coal in the coal yard can't last that long." Feng Chen reminded.

Shi Jian didn't think there would be any major problems, and comforted him: "Don't worry, the coal is enough for us to use for a long time. After it is completely exhausted, we may be able to produce bullets. Then we will go to It’s easy to mine that open-pit coal mine.”

In order to ensure safety, the fuse was set very long, more than 100 meters long.When the length of the fuse was still 30 meters, a large white cloud suddenly floated in the sky, covering the sky above the mine.

"Damn it!" Shi Jian cursed fiercely, because he had already seen zombies start to come out.

However, Shi Jian didn't take this sudden situation seriously. Anyway, the fuse was about to burn out, and the zombies would not be able to escape being sealed in the mine if they came out again.As for the zombies that ran out, just kill them.

But things were not as optimistic as Shi Jian had imagined. As more and more zombies poured out of the mine, the burning fuse was actually stepped on by the zombies!
"Damn it!" Shi Jian's eyes were about to pop out.

Ten meters, ten meters short, if there is no accident, only a few tens of seconds later, the fuse will burn out, and the five explosives will explode together, sealing the mine permanently.

The clouds in the sky gathered more and more, and now Shi Jian and the others were already under the shadows.The zombies walked towards Shi Jian and the others step by step along the shadows, and kept waving their sharp claws, trying to kill them quickly.

"Shoot!" Shi Jian gave the order decisively.

Because there were too many zombies, it was no longer possible to use steel crossbows to attack. Shi Jian directly ordered to shoot.

People who have undergone military training are not what they used to be, especially Shi Jian, a member of the so-called "leader's team", who can easily hit a hundred shots within a distance of [-] meters.

The gunshots sounded suddenly, and the people who were still loading cars at the coal yard were startled. They looked up and saw the clouds in the sky that hadn't moved over, and immediately understood what happened.

No one ordered, no one organized, these people invariably picked up the weapons that were put aside, and ran towards the direction of the gunfire.

When they arrived, Shi Jian and the others had retreated beyond the shadow of the cloud. Rows of zombies were lying there more than 50 meters in front of them, and behind them, more zombies were pouring out of the mine.

"Boss Shi, we're here!" Du Jun shouted loudly.

Shi Jian didn't turn his head back, and directly ordered: "The crossbowmen form a horizontal line, shoot in sections, and the gunners are responsible for killing the nearest zombies."

It has been nearly a month since the newcomers joined. In the morning exercises every day, Shi Jian asked them to practice segmented crossbow shooting, just like the three-segment shooting method used by musketeers back then, to ensure the continuity of attacks.

Although the training during this period was short, it still had some effect. The crossbowmen immediately lined up in three horizontal lines and began to shoot the crossbow arrows in their hands in sections.

However, because they had used the crossbow for too short a time, coupled with the fear of zombies, many crossbow arrows were shot empty, or they missed the vital parts of the zombies, and not many zombies were actually shot.

Fortunately, there were gunmen among them, and these gunmen were all recognized among the rookies as having accurate marksmanship.With them checking for omissions and making up for vacancies, the zombies did not advance very far.

However, the current situation is not optimistic, because the companions continue to die, and the zombies are finally angered.The speed at which they poured out of the mine was getting faster and faster, and the number was also increasing. It was far from the situation that Shi Jian's team faced at first.

Seeing the zombies pouring out, Shi Jian's heart trembled. Based on his experience of fighting zombies many times, if the weather turns fine, the zombies will not come out so recklessly.

"Is it going to change the sky?" Shi Jian couldn't help but looked up.

There are more and more white clouds in the sky. Although they are not connected together, there is not much gap between them.

But at this time, Shi Jian didn't dare to let the team retreat, otherwise, once the distance is opened, the zombies will not be suppressed, and more zombies will come out.

No one knows how many zombies are hiding in this mine, but judging from the current situation, there are at least a thousand.

"Fengchen, set up the cannon!" Shi Jian ordered hastily.

Feng Chen and Mei Zi immediately led the people back, and started setting up the three mortars they had brought.

Now those who know how to use cannons are all members of the leader team, and they are also the ones with the strongest firepower.

After they were missing, Shi Jian obviously felt that he could not suppress the zombies anymore, and the zombies pushed forward again.

But fortunately, this is only a temporary difficulty. With the roar of the mortar, the shells exploded behind the zombie group, cutting the whole group of zombies in two.

There were only about a hundred zombies in front of them, and they were quickly wiped out by Shi Jian's leaders.The zombies behind continued to fall under the gunfire, and only a few lucky ones were spared.

But these lucky ones are also doomed to be unable to escape the fate of death. They were quickly repaired by sharpshooters and followed their little friends.

After all, the clouds in the sky were still connected together, and the originally white clouds became blacker and blacker, and finally turned out to be as black as ink, as if they were about to drip down.

"Not good!" Shi Jian was shocked.

Although he carried a lot of ammunition this time, because he didn't know the number of zombies in the mine, if he continued like this, his previous efforts would probably be wasted due to lack of ammunition.

When it really came to that point, there was no other way but to drive away.

Shi Jian could choose this path, but that would mean that his trip was wasted. Not only did he not bring back much coal, but he also consumed a lot of bullets.

"What should I do?" Shi Jian's brain was running fast.

He had thought of extending the mortar fire backwards, hoping to ignite the fuse, but he was worried that the fuse would be cut off by flying shrapnel, and that would really be the end.

Shi Jian finally looked at the gun in his hand, gritted his teeth, called Andre and Du Jun, and said to them: "Can you see the fuse? I'm not talking about the one on the ground, but on the rock wall .”

In order to ensure the effect of the explosion, the explosive packs are placed on the wall of the cave, and the fuse begins to go up the cave wall at the entrance of the cave and is connected to the explosive pack.

Du Jun did not participate in the burying of the explosive package. Under Andre's guidance, he finally found the fuse that was similar in color to the rock, and nodded in agreement.

Shi Jian said to the two of them: "The three of us are the best marksmen, now shoot the fuse together and try to set it on fire, understand?"

Andu and the two understood what Shi Jian meant, and immediately climbed up the gangue hill next to them, and started shooting at the fuse from a high position. Shi Jian also shot along with them.

The fuse was nearly 150 meters away from them, and the color of the rock was close to that of the rock, so it was very difficult to identify. The three men emptied the clips in their hands, but did not hit a single shot.

"Boss Shi, there are not many shells left!" Feng Chen shouted loudly.

"How much more?" Shi Jian hurriedly turned his head and asked.

"Thirty rounds!"

Shi Jian was startled. When they came, they were carrying [-] rounds of shells. They didn't expect that [-]% of them would be consumed in such a short period of ten minutes by a block of artillery fire.

"Everyone get ready! Retreat after the shells run out!" Shi Jian had no choice but to give this order that he didn't want to give. After all, human life comes first.

Thirty shells and three mortars were fired together, and they could only last for a little more than 3 minutes.Shi Jian had to hit the fuse within 3 minutes to make it burn again.

Perhaps the zombies didn't want to give Shi Jian this chance, they rushed out of the mine frantically, and then spread out in all directions, preventing the artillery fire from fully blocking it.

The gunpowder smoke and dust produced by the shell explosion also greatly reduced the accuracy of Shi Jian and the three of them, making Shi Jian's hope of igniting the fuse increasingly slim.

Three minutes passed quickly, and Feng Chen reported again: "There are still nine shells!"

Shi Jian gritted his teeth hard, and gave the order with difficulty: "Prepare to retreat!"

Andre and Du Jun were still shooting unrelentingly, trying to break the accuracy limit at the last moment and complete the task assigned to them by Shi Jian.

There were nine more cannon shots, and Shi Jian looked helplessly at the fuse sticking to the rock, and there were more and more zombies, and shouted: "Retreat! Get back to the car immediately!"

With an order, everyone immediately turned around, holding their weapons, and ran towards the coal yard.They had to get in the car and leave before the zombies blocked the gate of the coal yard, otherwise they would only be greeted by death.

Now talking about the tactics of retreating and attacking is already a joke. The number of bullets and crossbow bolts can't stop the zombies at all.Instead of that, it's better to use the speed difference between humans and zombies to leave first.

Shi Jian glanced at the fuse unwillingly, changed the triggering state of the rifle to continuous firing, and emptied the bullets in the clip against the rock wall, then ran down the gangue behind Andre and Du Jun. Mountain.
