MTL - Wasteland Commander

Chapter 30: Carousel Defense

 Xiaotian's abnormal behavior aroused Ye Fan's idea.

“Xiao Tian is a military dog. What makes him so alert must be the emergence of mutated zombies.”

 Ye Fan immediately checked on the map and quickly discovered the clues.

About 800 meters ahead, there was a red light spot moving slowly.

There are hundreds of these light spots, and one of them is bright red.

Those light spots are separated by a tree from where Ye Fan and the others are, so they haven't noticed each other yet.

“Why is this so red?” Ye Fan felt that this light spot was redder than the others. Others were light red, but this one was bright red.

“Sir, the darker the red, the stronger the zombie. This bright red dot proves that it is a mutant zombie!”

Ye Fan thought he had encountered Tie Jia and hurriedly looked in that direction.

 “Xu Haoran, telescope!”

Xu Haoran handed over the telescope, and Ye Fan could see clearly this time.

 From the green trees over there, a large group of zombies are slowly coming this way.

 In front of the zombie group is a female zombie in her twenties.

Although the clothes are torn, it can still be seen that she used to wear fashionable clothes, and she must have been a young mother during her lifetime.

 But now, it’s a devil!

Her arms have now reached below her knees, and her black nails have grown nearly a foot long.

The nose twitched slightly, as if he sensed something smell.

While feeling the source of the smell, he moved towards Ye Fan.

 She was followed by a group of zombies, many of them even child zombies. They seemed to be wandering unconsciously, but they were following this female zombie unknowingly.

It’s not like Ye Fan has never seen such a zombie before. When he was in a small fishing village, there was a female zombie who was very fast.

 But compared with this one, that one looks worse in appearance and skin. That one should not be fully evolved, but this one is a fully evolved body.

 Beside this female zombie, there were even several other women, similar to those seen in the small fishing village.

Looking at the zombie's black claws and slightly arched body, which gave people the impression of a leopard, Ye Fan felt bad.

 In a sense, agile zombies are even more difficult to deal with than armored zombies. This thing must be extremely fast.

And Ye Fan discovered a problem. Ordinary zombies will instinctively follow advanced zombies.

It was the time in the small fishing village, and it is the same now. The mutant zombies' sense of smell or feeling is definitely better than other zombies. Even if they are far away from themselves, they can still vaguely feel the presence of themselves and others.

“Chen Chuan, are you sure you can kill this agile zombie with one shot?”

Sniper Chen Chuan picked up his sniper rifle and looked through the scope: "Sir, there are trees blocking us, so we are not absolutely sure."

Ye Fan signaled him to put down his gun, and he couldn't move without absolute certainty. There were three quasi-agile zombies around this zombie, and there were no good hidden gathering places in the amusement park. If he alerted the snake, the consequences would be disastrous.

Ye Fan was in some trouble. These zombies were very close to the Ferris wheel. If he wanted to get the supply box, he would definitely have to pass this level.

 The force of forceful attack is somewhat insufficient.

This time Ye Fan did not ask Nana. It was useless to ask such tactical questions. He still had to find a way by himself.

 He tried hard to recall the situations of fighting zombies again and again, and judge the distance at which the gunfire attracted the zombies.

I checked the map of Yida City. It is about six or seven kilometers long and wide. If you shoot closer to the center, it should not attract the zombies outside the amusement park.

But there are also a lot of zombies in the amusement park. At a rough look, there should be four to five thousand of them. There are red dots everywhere. There is not a single survivor in this area.

“If I want to get the supply box, I may have less strength. At least I need more people and find a suitable gathering place to kill these zombies.”

Ye Fan looked around, and he discovered the situation in the other direction.

There is a huge castle, the whole structure is made of sponge plastic, and there are hundreds of children and zombies inside the castle.

 In front of the castle, there were about two hundred zombies, the vast majority of whom were women.

Those female zombies should be mothers of children, bringing their children to play, and then they turn into zombies and still mainly stay there.

 Ye Fan’s eyes lit up!

 The most important thing to kill zombies is to kill female zombies. Men basically cannot find jewelry.

These two hundred female zombies are all young mothers, they all love beauty, and almost all of them have something to offer.

“Kill these two hundred zombies first, then I will have money in my hand. Once I have money, I can do whatever I want.”

“But if you shoot, you must attract the attention of other zombies. You should first lead the zombie group led by the mutant zombie away a little.”

A tactic was already hatched in Ye Fan's mind, and he immediately gave Xu Haoran a task.

“Don’t worry, sir, I promise to complete the mission!”

Xu Haoran turned around and left alone, leaving Ye Fan to lead the large army.

 “Let’s go, go over there.”

Ye Fan walked along the edge of the amusement park and gradually approached the big castle.

Hunted down about 200 meters away from the big castle, and after waiting for a while, he heard an explosion in the distance.

That was Xu Haoran who detonated the grenade.

The zombies in the distance moved in the direction of the grenade explosion, but the two hundred female zombies on Ye Fan's side did not move because they were too far away.

Seeing that the zombies had gone a little further, Ye Fan took action immediately and everyone got on the cover of a nearby carousel, which was less than a hundred meters away from the big castle.

Feeling safe, Ye Fan took out his 54 pistol and fired at the group of female zombies over there.

 The bullet didn’t know where it hit, but it had reached its destination, and the group of zombies immediately roared and rushed towards them.

 At the beginning of September, the temperature was still quite high, and everyone was wearing very nice clothes. If this group of people were not zombies, they would still look like warblers.

It's more terrifying now. They are basically a group of devils. Those who are timid are afraid of collapse immediately.

However, this made no sense to the red alert soldiers. The zombies entered the shooting range and immediately opened fire.

After all the stars were raised, the accuracy of the Red Alert soldiers increased dramatically, and zombies were constantly killed with headshots on the spot. After reaching the carousel at a distance of 100 meters, only half of the more than 200 zombies remained.

Ye Fan was overjoyed. This proved that the strength of his troops had been greatly improved. Although there were only a dozen people, there were usually hundreds of zombies.

The soldiers stood on the edge of the merry-go-round, raising their guns and shooting down. The zombies below were waving their arms in vain, but could not get to the top of the merry-go-round. They could only be killed one by one with headshots.

In less than ten minutes, more than 200 zombies were swept away, and a circle of corpses was piled up around the carousel.

 “Go down quickly and collect supplies.”

 The soldiers jumped down and started collecting jewelry from the zombies.

  Ye Fan took this opportunity to check the radar screen.

This is the tactic he and Xu Haoran formulated. First, let Xu Haoran lure away the zombies on the other side of the Ferris wheel, and then shoot on his own side to attract the zombies on the other side of the Ferris wheel.

Xu Haoran took this opportunity to get the supply box, then reunited with himself and escaped from Yida City together.

Now it seems that this tactic is going to be successful. The zombie group led by the mutated zombies over there vaguely hears the gunshots here and is coming slowly.

 Before seeing a person, the mutated zombie would not fly at such a fast speed, and he would not have time to escape.

 “Sir, the supply box has been collected!”

Following Nana's prompt, Ye Fan saw that the green supply box on the map had indeed disappeared, and the white light spot representing Xu Haoran was flying around the zombies.

“Great! As long as Xu Haoran runs back here one step ahead of the zombies, this battle will be a complete victory.”

Ye Fan was a little proud of his tactics. This operation went very smoothly. Not only did he get a supply box, but he also definitely collected a lot of jewelry.

Just when it was about to succeed, an accident happened.

In the big castle over there, a child zombie tore open the castle's protective net and rushed out with hundreds of child zombies!

Ye Fan took a closer look and saw that the leading child zombie was a head taller than the other children and had thick arms. He was actually in a mutated state and belonged to a quasi-armored zombie.

  It's just a small one.

“Oh my god, a child can mutate to this extent. Even if your small body mutates into iron armor, how powerful will it be?”

It is certainly not as strong as normal armored zombies, but it disrupted Ye Fan's plan.

There were more child zombies inside than mothers outside. After all, some of the female zombies outside had gone far away, but all of these children were inside the castle. Four to five hundred of them appeared together, swarming over in dense numbers.

 “Get back! Everyone get back to the top of the Trojan!”

At this time, the jewelry was almost collected, and all the Red Alert soldiers returned together and jumped onto the top of the carousel.

 Child zombies came in like a tide and surrounded the merry-go-round.

And a large group of zombies led by the mutated zombies over there also saw Ye Fan's team at this time, and immediately sped up and roared towards them.

At this time, Xu Haoran had not returned yet, and was separated from Ye Fan's troops by the group of corpses.

Ye Fan grabbed a large pile of jewelry that he had collected. At this moment, he actually wanted to see one of his subordinates panic, and then ask him what he should do so that he could show his style as a commander.

It is a pity that each of these red alert soldiers is calmer than the last. There is no word fear in their consciousness, and death is not scary at all.

This made Ye Fan a little depressed. Finally, he looked at Xiaotian beside him and patted its head gently: "Don't worry, everything is under my control, commander."

 “Woof!” Xiaotian shook his head, as if he didn’t like having his head touched.

"Haha, this is not a pet dog, it is very courageous." Ye Fan retracted his hand in embarrassment.
