C1012 Unafraid of Death
That unmarked cemetery had existed for who knows how many years.
There were rumors that this was a battlefield from a thousand years ago. Who knew how many tens of thousands of people died there?
If these corpses had crawled out from the ancient battlefield, then the number would truly be …
At that moment, Meng Yu's scalp went numb, and he didn't dare to think about it.
It seemed like he was trying to confirm the guess of his companion.
Very soon, the corpses that emerged from the dense forest wore tattered and tattered armor.
Their hands were already rotting, and they were even holding rusted swords.
What was even more terrifying was that within these skeletons, there were skeletons of people riding giant horses and generals.
These obviously weren't ordinary corpses. Their bodies emitted a cold and gloomy aura.
Just a glance from afar was enough to send chills down one's spine.
When Meng Yu saw the corpses, he heard his superior groan, "It's a zombie."
The sight of so many corpses rushing towards the town was enough to shock anyone who saw it.
As for the officer's zombie, it made everyone's hands and feet go limp.
A zombie was a monster that only cultivators could deal with!
It was said that they were immortal and bloodthirsty.
And he can spread the plague.
A single zombie was enough to destroy a village of a hundred people in one night.
And now …
Looking at this vast expanse of corpses, there were probably no less than ten thousand zombies already.
Moreover, the zombies that were gushing out of the forest gave off a feeling of inexhaustibility.
Just as the guards were trembling in fear, Meng Yu heard a loud shout from his superior.
"Everyone heed my orders, guard the city walls and organize the people in the town to retreat.
"Those who disobey will be killed!"
When the people in the town heard about the zombies coming, it had already become a mess.
At this moment, every family didn't even have time to clean up. They dragged their families and headed to the other side of the town to escape.
However, the speed at which the townspeople were fleeing was far slower than the speed at which the zombies were rushing towards them.
This vast sea of corpses was like a huge wave coming from the sea. In an instant, it arrived in front of the town.
Different from the city, the town couldn't possibly have tall walls, it was just a layer of bricks and tiles piled up together to form an ordinary defense.
And these zombies were extremely powerful.
Moreover, they seemed to be able to smell the scent of living humans and animals. Terrifying red rays of light shone out of their pitch-black eye sockets as they frantically dug up the walls of the town.
In a short moment, this wall was like a log that had been eaten away by termites, becoming riddled with holes and collapsing upon contact.
In total, it probably wouldn't even take fifteen minutes. The zombies had already dug up this simple fortification in front of Meng Yu, causing it to collapse.
The zombies madly rushed in.
A cold, gloomy, desperate, and deathly aura instantly enveloped them.
At this time, less than 20% of the people had escaped the town.
There were only five hundred guards in the town who could stop them for a while.
To the endless sea of corpses, there were less than 100 of them.
At this moment, Meng Yu and the guards beside him were all trembling in fear.
They were not only facing a sea of corpses, but also a tragic death.
But no one took a step back.
Even at this moment, fear had filled his heart.
However, everyone still gripped their weapons tightly and cast them into a human wall.
They all knew that once they retreated, the citizens of the town would be exposed in front of these zombies.
By that time, the whole town would be bleeding like a river.
At this time, Meng Yu's superior thought of a way to stop the sea of corpses for a moment.
However, this method was almost equivalent to suicide.
That was to let a part of them rush into the sea of corpses, kill their way into the armory, and then ignite the gunpowder shells in the armory.
An exploding armory could destroy half of a town in an instant.
However, the explosion would be able to stop the advancement of the sea of corpses for a short period of time.
However, whether it was the people who rushed into the sea of corpses or those who detonated the armory, they were destined to never return.
More importantly, the armory was surrounded by corpses.
If he wanted to charge into the armory and ignite the gunpowder shells, he had to kill his way in.
It was far from enough to just sacrifice one person.
On the path to the armory, there were bound to be many people who fell and were covered in blood.
"Who's willing to go with me!" the officer asked, his eyes wide and his breath ragged.
He was obviously scared too, and his arms were trembling.
However, there was no fear in his bloodshot eyes.
When the officer asked this question, Meng Yu felt his heart beating rapidly.
He wanted to stand out.
However, his instinctive thirst for life made him hesitate.
While he was hesitating, fifty guards had already stepped forward with loud roars.
These people all knew that if they were to take this step, they would be doomed to die on the spot.
It was even possible that there wouldn't be any bone left over.
However, they still did not retreat.
In the moment before they rushed forward, many of them turned their heads to look behind them.
Their eyes were filled with yearning and reluctance.
Because behind them was their homeland, the place where they were born and raised.
This glance would be their last.
"Kill!"
After one glance, he roared in rage.
The loud roars of the fifty people were, at this moment, tragic and resolute, yet firm and powerful.
Seeing that his superior had led his fifty brothers into the sea of corpses without hesitation, Meng Yu clenched his fists.
He was vexed by the moment of hesitation.
The remaining guards looked at them, tears streaming down their faces, their teeth about to shatter.
However, they had more important things to do at this time.
Their sacrificed comrades would give them a chance at survival.
They were going to seize this chance to help more people in the town escape.
"Leave three hundred people behind to defend this place. The rest of you, go and save the people!" The deputy now glared with bloodshot eyes and growled hoarsely.
He was one of the three hundred remaining.
Meng Yu was one of them.
He had missed the opportunity.
Then this time, he would not let him slip away.
When the sea of corpses rushed over, the armory hadn't exploded yet.
The remaining three hundred men didn't know if they would be able to complete the mission along with the fifty men who had charged out.
However, at this time, they could only choose to believe in each other and use their lives as the price to defend this final weak line of defense.
Three hundred soldiers couldn't defend against the zombies that were like a tide at all.
The long blade in Meng Yu's hand slashed a few times, and then became tired of the blade.
His arms were also sore, and half of his body was numb.
He saw his companions collapse in defeat one after another.
Even if these zombies' heads were chopped off and their bodies were split open, they would still crazily charge at you and tear apart your flesh.
