Chapter 1167 Running out of ammunition and food, preparing for a breakout
Looking at the dense crowd outside, Muqiu couldn't help but look up at the sky.
He figured that Gan Tian probably hadn't left the territory of the cannibals.
He hadn't expected these cannibals to launch an attack so quickly.
Furthermore, they had advanced the calculated timeframe by a few days, and had already withstood more than ten waves of attacks, keeping them outside the city walls.
Judging from their current posture, tomorrow will likely be the day they launch a full-scale attack.
If that's the case, they definitely won't be able to hold out. When the city falls, everyone inside will die.
"Go down and gather all the people at the back gate. If things get really bad, we'll see how many manage to escape."
After saying that, he sat down on the city wall, put down his automatic rifle, and drew the long sword from behind him.
This knife was given to him by Chu Chen; its blade is slender but incredibly sharp.
That's right, he was already prepared for close combat with the cannibals.
He was just a little unwilling. He was, after all, a master of a realm. In the Heavenly Wolf Realm, he was carefree and at ease. He never expected to be chosen to come here, which turned him into an ordinary person and made him fight against those with exceptionally strong bodies.
If only I had stayed in the Sirius Realm, not going anywhere, just eating, drinking, playing, and doing whatever I wanted.
Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and yelled, "You damn ground crawler, are you trying to kill me?!"
Despite his despair, he still clung to a sliver of hope: that Yang Yan would appear at the crucial moment and stop everything.
Not only for himself, but also for those of his kind who follow him.
When Chu Chen and his group left the city, they immediately ordered the landing, then waved to summon twenty armed helicopters before taking off again.
He couldn't guarantee how many falcons would emerge in the next city, so he still needed to maintain sufficient offensive capabilities.
The transport plane had too few attack weapons, which was due to his own lack of consideration.
Twenty armed helicopters took off and headed straight for the city where Muqiu was located.
"Gan Tian, come and see how long it will take us to reach Mu Qiu's place."
On the armed helicopter was a map, a gift they had received earlier in the human city.
Gan Tian had walked this path before, so he was quite familiar with it.
His journey here wasn't as easy as it is now. Sometimes, he would have to stay in a small town for ten days or half a month to avoid the cannibals.
This led to the android who came with him being torn to pieces by the cannibals in exchange for his chance to escape alive.
"Chu Chen, I don't know our speed, but after this place and then this place, we'll be there soon."
The helicopter flew in the sky without any obstruction, and its speed was much faster.
Therefore, Gan Tian had no idea how long it would take them to arrive.
Chu Chen nodded after listening and marked a circle on the map with a red pen.
Then he handed it to the commander of the group: "Find a reference point as soon as possible, determine the direction, and then proceed at full speed."
Indeed, he had a vague feeling that Mu Qiu was probably facing a crisis.
He didn't know why he had this feeling. Maybe it was Yang Yan's doing. Perhaps Yang Yan was watching all of this right now. Who knows?
The squadron leader took the map and directed the planes to fly directly in one direction.
Chu Chen also saw it. To their left was a large mountain. Although he didn't know its name, judging from the map and the terrain, there was a tall mountain here.
Twenty helicopters, like flying gods, headed straight for the city of Muqiu.
The next morning, Mu Qiu was awakened by shouts of killing and the anxious voices of his subordinates.
"They attacked?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiu quickly got up and ran outside.
Looking out from the city wall, even Mu Qiu, who was used to seeing big scenes, was involuntarily startled.
Outside the city walls, there were so many black cannibals that he dared not even estimate their numbers.
"Holy crap, organize a defense immediately."
“Tell the brothers, this is going to be a tough battle. For the sake of our families and friends, we must fight to the death and keep these black things out of the city walls.”
"Brothers, with our divine weapon in hand, those things are no match for us. Don't worry, we will definitely win."
Late autumn repeatedly bolstered the soldiers' morale.
However, only he and a few key figures knew that even if it meant one bullet per enemy, the ammunition they currently had wasn't enough to go around for those outside.
Therefore, we must fight this battle with great momentum, so that those outside will back down in the face of difficulties.
In his heart, he still hoped that Chu Chen could get news of Gan Tian and come to the rescue.
The cannibals were incredibly fast, and in no time they reached the base of the city wall.
Under the command of Gan Di and other lieutenants, countless bombs, hot oil, stones, and other projectiles were thrown down from the city walls.
There are far too many cannibals.
The existence of an occupied human city on their territory is something they cannot tolerate.
Therefore, they will spare no effort to raze this city to the ground in this battle.
In less than half an hour of fighting, a mountain of corpses had been piled up beneath the city walls.
The cannibals behind them, stepping over the corpses of their own people, charged directly toward the city wall.
Muqiu emptied a magazine, then took a new gun from his attendant and fired a precise shot at the cannibals below.
Two hours later, the cannibals retreated, but they did not go far. Instead, they waited quietly outside the firing range, preparing for the next attack.
Feeling somewhat weary in late autumn, he sought out a dry spot.
"Tell me, how much ammunition do we have left?"
After listening, Gan Di whispered in his ear, "I just had someone take a count. If the next wave continues like this, it probably won't last an hour."
"It won't last an hour," Mu Qiu frowned deeply after hearing this.
If we can't frighten or cripple these people within an hour, then it's only a matter of time before the city falls.
His mind raced.
But after much thought, he still couldn't come up with a good solution, because once they engaged in face-to-face melee combat, humans were no match for them.
Therefore, once the city falls, these people can only flee.
"Give the order to reserve some ammunition for a breakout."
"Tell the brothers to be more accurate and not waste too much ammunition. I just saw one of those guys shooting into the air."
After hearing this, Gan Di quickly left and went directly with his lieutenants to issue orders.
Inside the city, all the residents were concentrated at a gate that was relatively vulnerable to attack.
Once the city falls, they will not hesitate to break out from the other side.
