Chapter 50

When the first wave of zombies outside the base came to an end, Tang Tian ordered the robot defenses to guard the perimeter while hundreds of base soldiers collected samples of the special infected within 300 meters outside the burnt perimeter line. As for the possibility of special zombies attacking the soldiers, it was not something that concerned Tang Tian. After all, he was not a saint but a dimensional merchant.

At this moment, a group of dark figures slowly crawled out of the rooftop beside the military base and leaped onto another rooftop. If Tang Tian had paid a little attention, he would have noticed the appearance of a new special infected - the Hunter zombie. As the behind-the-scenes boss of the base, collecting the bodies of these infected left the survivors puzzled. Watching the limbs of the special infected filling the alloy boxes, Tang Tian nodded in satisfaction to the soldiers who had collected them, indicating that they could come back. (The soldiers used ropes to go out and come back. They usually used helicopters to go to distant places. The base had two layers of defenses, with the outermost one being a reinforced concrete structure and the innermost one being an alloy wall.)

"Urgh!" A vomiting sound from a distance suddenly broke the previous tranquility.

"It seems these zombies are stupid and reckless, truly not letting people relax!" Tang Tian casually remarked, ignoring the appearance of the special infected. He spoke as if he wasn't afraid of encountering a larger-scale zombie horde.

The second wave of zombies also spotted the new targets outside the base and quickly rushed toward the soldiers who were collecting the special infected.

Over 1,000 ordinary-grade military NS-5 robots at the perimeter began to exert their power. The 200 outermost NS-5 robots wielded iron rods to knock down the attacking zombies. The middle group of approximately 300 military NS-5 robots used knives and swords to cut off the zombies' heads. Another group of around 500 NS-5 robots held automatic shotguns and Uzis to suppress the zombie horde at the perimeter. On the inner walls of the base, the sound of Gatling machine guns and M60 heavy machine guns also echoed, suppressing the outermost wave of zombies.

"Damn it! Oh my God!" Watching the approaching horde that was about to reach the perimeter, a survivor soldier who was not an elite clone exclaimed. (The soldiers in the base were divided into two types: emotionless clone soldiers and native soldiers of that dimension.)

"Although the Spitters are not that powerful, their ability to attract other zombies is quite formidable." Tang Tian saw the approaching horde getting closer and closer and muttered to himself. The infected in Left 4 Dead surpassed the speed of zombies infected by the T-virus. They weren't slow like the zombies in Resident Evil; their speed was not much different from that of normal humans, or even faster.

"Get out of here! Retreat quickly! Run!" One of the soldiers, holding a sealed box, looked at the 1,000 military NS-5 robots being overwhelmed by the zombie horde in fear and said while firing a Maerin pistol. Upon seeing this, the others also started shooting with their Uzis. The sound of bullets piercing the air followed, and all the zombies in front of the horde were taken down.

The soldiers collecting samples continued to retreat. As for why Tang Tian didn't send a rescue team to help these soldiers who were forced into this situation, it was because someone's gravity field sensed the presence of some special zombies. Tang Tian's gravity field could sense all objects with gravity within a radius of 200 meters.

"Yaa! Yaa! Yaa!" As expected, after several strange sounds rang out, several shadows shot out from the rooftops and pinned down a dozen soldiers as they were trying to escape.

"Help me! Save us! Quickly get rid of these monsters!" A dozen soldiers pinned down by Hunter zombies were completely immobilized under the gravity acceleration of the Hunter zombies' pounce. With their movements restricted, the soldiers could only endure the attacks of the Hunter zombies' claws.

The other dozens of soldiers turned a blind eye to the soldiers being attacked by the special infected. When they were ordered to collect samples, it was specified that the attacked soldiers were not allowed to be rescued to prevent the infected from entering the base.

"Snipers, take them down! The rest of you provide fire support, and let the remaining soldiers bring the samples up." Seeing that several soldiers were beyond saving, Tang Tian coldly looked at the nearby sniper and gave the command.

"Sir, among the dozen soldiers pinned down by the zombies, some of them haven't been infected... Shouldn't we... save them?" A sharp-eyed soldier looked at some of the soldiers whose hands were entangled with the Hunter zombies' hands and suggested.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" In response to that soldier's words, Tang Tian's hand-delivered a ruthless blow. Witnessing the bloody scene, the other soldiers dared not say anything. Nobody wanted a lunatic to put a hole in their heads.

"Any more questions?" Tang Tian coldly asked the soldiers, his body emanating a powerful gravity field. Most of the soldiers at the perimeter defense line were native people who were rescued, which was why Tang Tian's orders were being questioned. If they were clone soldiers, they would never defy someone's command. Currently, the zombie hordes in the north were under Tang Tian's control, while the other three directions were controlled by clone soldiers.

"No, sir." The other native soldiers quickly responded.

The Hunter, a special infected, is characterized by a hooded outfit. It is the fastest and most agile among all the special infected. The Hunter emits a unique and chilling cry while in a crawling state, and can perform long-distance pounces. It can also perform wall and rooftop jumps. After pinning down a survivor, it continues to attack them relentlessly. A survivor who has been pinned down cannot save themselves and must rely on others to kill the Hunter in order to be rescued. Otherwise, the pinned survivor will be continuously attacked by the Hunter until death.

"Bang!" Several Hunters were shot in the head by snipers, and armor-piercing rounds blew large holes in their heads. The remaining soldiers grabbed the samples and started racing against death. The overwhelming number of zombie hordes and other special infected made the task of collecting infected samples extremely difficult for the soldiers.

"Come up quickly, the horde is coming." Watching the soldiers outside the base getting closer, Tang Tian said casually.

"Okay, let us in quickly, those damn things are coming soon." The soldiers collecting samples shouted loudly as they saw the approaching zombie horde.

"Let them in." Tang Tian commanded the soldiers next to him.

"Yes, sir." This time, no one said anything and they immediately pulled them up.

As the soldiers collecting samples were pulled up, the horde began to approach the base. The sound of various firearms being loaded filled the air, signaling the imminent start of a new battle.
