Chapter 84 Corpse Tide
The goods arrived the next day.
Almost everyone in the Sixth Block is busy with the expedition, and the risks of small actions such as walking and smuggling are also much smaller.
There were only four people who came to deliver the goods this time, probably all of them were Zhao Chenwu's confidants, and his secretary Su Lei personally led the team. The soldiers in charge of the escort handed over the control of the ten slaves to Jiang Chen, and after giving a clean military salute, he hurriedly left.
Looking at the infantry car painted with city camouflage and the shocked and suspicious faces of the dark "silly man", Jiang Chen smiled, walked up to pat the person nearest on the shoulder, and then called his subordinates to start unloading the goods.
If mechanical exoskeletons are compared to "light armor", the meaning of power armor is roughly similar to the full-body heavy armor of medieval knights. They are usually divided into land combat and airborne type, and the difference is mainly in the weight of the armor and whether it is equipped with a vortex engine for slow descent. The weight of the airborne type is usually less than 500KG, while the land combat type is often greater than 1 ton.
These 10 T-3 power armors are airborne, but the switchable triangular rotary machine gun is welded on the right hand and the ammunition supply box mounted behind it.
Fortunately, Lu Huasheng designed an elevator at the entrance of the sewer. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to get the armor that was more than two meters high and weighed about 300 kilograms. These ten slaves obviously could not operate this thing. They just looked at Jiang Chen with the expression they were locked in a coffin.
Obviously, they know very well that selling such equipment is illegal.
Since it is illegal...
So I'm afraid that their current genetic ID has been registered as dead in the Sixth Block.
As for whether he will become a real dead person? It depends on what the man with a smile on his face thinks.
"Welcome to the Fishbone Survivor Base. Believe me, it is definitely much happier to be able to work for me than to work for anyone in this world..."
Although this tone seems to be bragging, it seems that it will not be dead.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed the man's pace with nervousness.

After handing the ten people over to Lu Huasheng to arrange accommodation and work, Jiang Chen quickly found Sun Jiao.
"Weapons and armor have been in place. When will we set off?" As soon as we saw Jiang Chen, Sun Jiao stepped forward and asked.
"Can you contact the surrounding survivor groups within two days?" Jiang Chen said.
"No problem, the radio equipment in the conference room can be...but what's the use of getting in touch with them?" Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.
"Of course I'm taking them to fight monsters." Jiang Chen raised a smile on his lips and said this line with unknown meaning.
There are too many scattered survivors around. If they are all integrated, there will be two or three thousand people. If the Fish Bone Survivor Base wants to get rid of the population constraints, then it will have to think about those scattered survivors.
These survivors who have been struggling in the end of the world for many years are often far more spiritually than ordinary people's tenacity, or distortion, and their personal combat power is by no means comparable to those "slaves" who are curled up in the slums. However, what is difficult is that they have long disbelief of things like discipline or civilization, and they are all as rebellious as wild wolves.
If you want the dog to surrender, a bone plus a rope is enough.
However, if you want to tame a wolf, it will definitely not work with just one bone and a rope. They will take away the bones without hesitation, but will never willingly lower their heads and willingly accept the bondage of the collar.
Unless they have overwhelming force, they dare not even unite to resist.
Showing off firepower is the second purpose of this expedition.
It is best to pull them to the battlefield, help share the pressure of the corpse tide, and promise to share some of the spoils, so that these people's dependence on the fish bone base will further increase.
Now the zombies have generally condensed into sub-crystals behind their heads. Jiang Chen doesn't believe that those survivors will not be moved by this. Even if Jiang Chen and the others do not have the heavy firepower of tanks, their power armor can still be considered as crushing against ordinary zombies. Those survivors should have no reason to refuse to make a profit.

The next morning.
The fishbone base has been busy for a long time. Soldiers rushed to the combat position. Some non-combatants were busy loading supplies like cars, while others erected polyethylene isolation panels in front of the gate to surround a buffer area at the door to prevent zombies from rushing into the base when they opened the door.
The wall was also busy. The crowded zombies perfectly interpreted the term corpse tide. The rotten bodies blocked the streets outside the wall.
Hell, it was like the zombies in the entire area were stuffed into this street.
"Weapon system, normal. Vortex engine, normal... By the way, there is also a fuel rod, normal!" Jiang Chen searched the data in the digital helmet with some headaches. Although he had experienced the power armor several times in the virtual reality system, and he also wore it on a real guy several times yesterday, the feeling of being locked in the "iron box" always made him feel strange.
Painted black, with a strong and lightweight streamlined C-shaped plastic steel armor (non-modern PVC profile), the right hand side wall is a triangular rotary machine gun pendant, and a tactical rifle is hung around the waist, almost armed to the teeth.
Although it looks cool, it is an unexpected trouble to wear it...
Sun Jiao glanced at Jiang Chen with some concern, then took a deep breath, and waved to the sentry on the wall.
The sentry saluted quickly and then ran quickly to the high-energy machine gun position.
This operation was commanded by Sun Jiao.
"Prepare to set off, turn on the weapon system, be careful not to let the zombies break through the formation. Our supplies are all in the car. Do you understand!"
"I understand!" The eight power armored warriors behind him shouted in unison, then turned off the mask of their helmets.
"Open the door!" Sun Jiao shouted to the fighters beside her, made a gesture, and then closed her mask.
The steel gate slowly rose, and the zombies seemed to smell the fragrance of food, and cast their empty eyes towards the gap here.
Dada dada-!
"Call me!"
The machine guns on the two towers had begun to vent their ammunition. The orange flames tore up the zombies and smashed the already broken body into several segments. However, it was just a drop in the bucket. The sea of corpses, which was like a tide, still howled and rushed towards the gate.
"charge--!"
The people wearing power armor protected the assault infantry vehicle in the center with the attack arrow formation, and severely cut a gap into the zombie's encirclement net. The remaining limbs of the missing arm and legs were shaking on the ground. As long as the brain was intact, the zombies would not die in the true sense.
However, at this moment, there was no time to re-fire these guys. Under the cover of fixed machine guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns, soldiers wearing power armored armored with left armour and the rotary machine gun in their right hand sprayed a fire snake. Like a torrent of steel, they directly crushed the corpses of the living dead.
Through the steel, the viscous feeling of flesh and blood coming from the soles of his feet made Jiang Chen feel a churn in his stomach. However, he took the zombies with ferocious faces much less.
They are no longer humans.
Some are even not humans at birth.
When the strong front armor hit the zombies that were trying to bite him, the strength of technology became apparent. The two pairs of vortex engines on the back, waist and shoulders ejected a faint blue arc. Allowing the zombies to bite the cold armor, Jiang Chen gradually pushed the output power to the maximum, maintaining the formation with his teammates around him, and pushing forward against a bunch of zombies.
If the momentum of charge stops, they will have to face the desperate situation of being surrounded by zombies. Although the claws of these ordinary zombies cannot wear steel armor, if they are gathered together, they will form an absolute numerical advantage, and it will be no pressure to squeeze and deform the armor and overturn the vehicle.
Even though he had an absolute advantage in equipment, no one dared to be careless and used firepower to "evacuate" the tide of corpses.
However, zombies cannot be killed, even if they kill all the bullets in the base. All they need to do is break through, rather than wasting ammunition on these dead objects.
The zombies passing through the gap hit the front armor of the assaulter infantry vehicle and were directly crushed to the ground. The thick tire left a ferocious blood-colored path on the ground. The 20mm machine cannon on the top of the car spitting out the fire snake, and orange-red trajectories either exploded or cut off the thin body in the waist.
Finally, the entire team tore a gap in the zombie's encirclement net, ran through the twitching limbs, and rushed out of the street filled with zombies.
"How does it feel." Sun Jiao's somewhat concerned voice came from the private channel.
"It's okay." Jiang Chen took a few deep breaths in a row, slightly stabilizing the restless heartbeat in his lower chest.
Turn off the revolver gun on his right hand, and everyone pulled out the tactical rifles at their waists. They had already rushed out of the surrounding area and no longer needed to maintain high-density firepower.
The zombies were still rushing towards everyone, but they were much more sparse. As if they confirmed his previous premonition, these zombies might have gathered consciously near the base. After passing through a street again, they could hardly see the shadow of the zombies.
"It's really a hell now."
"Don't be careless, be careful! Turn on the radio life detection device."
"receive."
"No alien reaction within a radius of 500 meters."
......
A series of reports made the public channel seem a little confused for a moment.
Generally speaking, the sudden decrease in the density of zombies is only one situation, that is, there is a particularly powerful alien nearby. Although zombies are hunting all living creatures, their main prey is still living creatures with life energy close to humans. If you encounter a monster that often has hundreds of sub-crystal points, or a certain alien parent nest, the zombies will still unconsciously move in a direction away from it.
But this is obviously not like a normal situation. Not to mention alien species, even mutant cockroaches can't be seen on the street.
Dirty billboards, abandoned cars...
They became the only living creatures on the street.
He shook the sticky blood on the armor on his left arm, and looked at the empty street, Jiang Chen's face showed a strange expression.
