Chapter 1198 - The Encounter Battle Inside The Tunnel (1/2)
Just like this, the elevator moved between the negative twentieth and the negative twenty-first floor. In just half an hour, NAC deployed 100 power armors, 500 soldiers, and 40 engineer soldiers to the tunnel under the Pan-Asia Cooperation Building.
Under the firepower of the power armors, the zombies wandering at the station were quickly eradicated. The engineering soldiers at the rear brought pieces of machinery forward and began to repair the concrete wall.
As the bayonet was pulled out from the head of a Night Demon, Zhang Zhuo pressed the headset on the helmet and reported it to the ground command center.
“…The zombies in the subway station have been cleared… Yes, dangerous species have been spotted, and we’re not ruling out that more dangerous species are moving to the area.”
“Immediately repair the tunnel,” Han Junhua ordered. “Also, mobilize the power armors immediately. You must catch up to the general in the shortest possible time.”
“Roger.”
After the communication ended, Zhang Zhuo gestured to his vice-captain behind him. After the vice-captain jogged to him, he ordered.
“I’m delegating to you the task of building the defense line. I will bring the force to support the general.”
“Yes!” The vice-captain saluted.
“Be meticulous, this is a direct order from the chief of staff! You must make no mistakes!” He patted his subordinate on the shoulder and reminded one last time. He then handed over the authority of the infantry to the vice-captain, turned around and walked toward the assembled power armors.
All the preparations were complete. Zhang Zhuo was prepared to order the force to advance into the deep tunnel, but from the direction of Line 27, some tremors shook the earth.
“What’s that sound?” Zhang Zhuo frowned as he looked toward the direction of Line 27.
His first officer was also confused as he pinpointed the direction.
“Judging by the sound, it doesn’t sound like zombies… I will send someone to take a look.”
The first officer ordered into his headset.
Soon, two scouts were sent out and they jogged in the direction of Line 27.
However, just after crossing the broken concrete wall, the two scouts stopped. Fear was seen from the reflection inside their tactical helmet…
Without the time to even say a word, the roar of the explosion filled the tunnel!
With a loud explosion, the two scouts were turned into pieces in the raging shrapnel…
Zhang Zhuo’s pupils suddenly contracted.
A dreadful thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
It’s the CCCP tanks!
Without time to hesitate, Zhang Zhuo decisively shouted in the communication channel.
“TAKE COVER! PREPARE TO FIRE!”
He didn’t need to remind the team. Immediately when the explosion happened, the engineer soldiers abandoned the pieces of machinery in their hands and retreated to the back. At the same time, the soldiers who were resting immediately began seeking cover.
The power armors that had been assembled also scattered around, leaning against the concrete bunker inside and outside the station.
Zhang Zhuo glanced at the hole in the tunnel. He pulled out two burning rods from the waist of the power armor and threw them toward the broken wall.
The orange-red flame illuminated the dark battlefield.
Almost at the same time, a tank painted with snow camouflage drove across the broken concrete wall. Without the slightest omen, the menacing muzzle fired at the NAC soldiers.
“BOOM!”
A high-explosive round fired not far from Zhang Zhuo and the flying shrapnel scratched against the power armor, making a screeching sound. Fortunately, the shot was fired aimlessly, causing no casualties.
Through the cover provided by the shot, the soldiers wearing winter clothes rushed out from the rear of the tank.
Shouting “For Mother Russia”, the soldiers fearlessly rushed towards the NAC.
“OPEN FIRE!”
In the deafening roar, Zhang Zhuo raised his tactical rifle and unleashed bullets first.
Rifles were placed onto the bunker one after the other as bullets began to fire at the charging Russian soldiers.
