Chapter 200 Tell them to run faster.
"A tide of zombies is coming?" Luo Tingyu exclaimed in surprise. His eyelids were still drooping just now, but after hearing Gu Xulin's words, he suddenly woke up.
Yifeng didn't react much, just listened to them quietly.
He Ci suddenly remembered that if it was a zombie tide, there must be a zombie king behind it controlling them. He couldn't help but ask Mo Yuankai beside him, "Where's Shouchen? Could he have done it?"
"He was still sleeping when I came out," Mo Yuankai explained, "Although I don't know what happened today, I can be sure that it was not Shouchen's doing. Because the zombie king who has been tamed by Shousui cannot summon a group of zombies without Shousui's consent."
"That's quite strange." He Ci turned around and asked Gu Xulin, "How many people do you have?"
Because the safety of the survivors in the base was at stake, Gu Xulin did not want to exaggerate, so he spoke honestly, "There are less than 200 people who can hold guns and fight."
"That's quite tricky." He Ci's frown deepened. Gu Xulin had too few people. Even a small zombie tide should not be underestimated. It would be difficult to hold on with the town's defense alone.
He Ci asked, "Is there a safe house? Gather people to hide in the safe house first. If there is no safe house, gather them here."
"There is a basement here. I have arranged Mu Yun and others to notify everyone to gather here." Gu Xulin said.
"Okay," He Ci understood, turned around and asked Luo Tingyu, "Is Yan Shun awake? Go and call him, you, Yan Shun and Chi Yu should also go to the safe house to hide." Then the man looked at Mo Yuankai, "Yuankai, go call Chi Yu and Shouchen, and call Shousui by the way. Yifeng and I will go out with Major Gu to take a look first, you can come over later."
"Yeah." Mo Yuankai responded seriously and then went back to the house to call for help.
After Luo Tingyu heard He Ci's somewhat "disdainful" arrangement for him, he frowned and questioned He Ci, "What? Do you look down on me? The zombies have come to our territory with their families to start a war, but you asked me to hide? Although I am not as strong as you, I can also take a beating! Oh no, I can fight! It's not a problem for me to fight two at once!"
"If they want to hide, just let Shunzi, that 'girl', hide. I will definitely stay to help!" Luo Tingyu added at the end.
"..." He Ci's mouth twitched uncontrollably, "Okay, then go back to the room and call Yan Shun, and ask him to go to the basement with Chi Yu and Major Gu's men to hide. Then you can come over with Shou Sui and the other two."
"I understand." After hearing this, Luo Tingyu no longer felt that the other party looked down on her.
"Yifeng, let's go out with him first, is that okay?" He Ci looked at Yifeng, fearing that the other party was as dissatisfied with the arrangement as Luo Tingyu, so he added a question.
"I'm fine." Yifeng responded.
"Let's go."
After saying that, He Ci, Yi Feng and Gu Xulin went downstairs first.
As soon as we went down to the lobby on the first floor, Mu Yun, Uncle Song and others had already led people to the hotel one after another.
Also gathered in the hall were dozens of Gu Xulin's men in plain clothes who were on rest today, as well as Jiang Yingyu and others who were forced to join. At this moment, they all had their guns loaded and were ready for battle.
"A few of you move the sandbags to the street in front of the hotel, and a few of you choose a few commanding heights for sniping. The fence outside may not hold out for long. If a breach is breached, we will retreat and try our best to protect the hotel." Gu Xulin instructed them.
"Yes." The assigned subordinates responded and left.
After everything was arranged, Gu Xulin led the remaining twenty or so comrades and He Ci and just walked out of the gate of Grand Hyatt when they heard gunshots outside.
He Ci looked up and saw that on the street ahead, a group of Gu Xulin's other men in military uniforms and armed with guns were retreating from the defense line outside the town.
As a group of people retreated here, they did not forget to shoot at the zombies chasing behind them. A tall and strong man in front of them shouted to the man from a distance before he ran to Gu Xulin, "Major, tell the people to retreat! Retreat quickly!"
"We can't defend it. There's no way to defend it! Even the barbed wire fence with electricity can't withstand the attack of the fifth-level zombies! Not only are there several fifth-level zombies attacking, but there are also fifth-level cloud haze corpse beasts and various alien beasts!"
After hearing this, Gu Xulin's expression became even more solemn. Although he had guessed that the barbed wire fence outside the town would not be able to defend against the swarm of zombies for long, he never expected that it would be breached so quickly.
Gu Xulin turned around and glanced at the retreat of the survivors behind him. People who lived a little further away were still rushing out from the other side of the street under the leadership of Xiang Aonan and others, rushing to gather at the Grand Hyatt Hotel here.
Xiang Aoqing, Ni Man and several other girls were still outside the hotel gate, waiting for the crowd that was gathering behind them, counting whether anyone was left behind.
After watching, Gu Xulin could not help but shout at the Aonan people and urged them, "Tell them to run faster! Retreat to the basement quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the subordinate who had previously shouted at them to retreat ran to Gu Xulin.
"Are you not hurt? Have all the brothers retreated?" Gu Xulin asked him hurriedly with a frown.
The tall and strong man ran out of breath and replied, "Thankfully, the brothers retreated in time, so there are no casualties so far."
"That's good!" Gu Xulin slightly relaxed the worry in his chest.
At this moment, the man's other comrades who were retreating behind him arrived one after another.
"Then what should we do now? Escape?" The subordinates asked Gu Xulin in panic.
"We can only defend the hotel."
The man from before had a look of fear on his face. "We saw waves of zombies coming towards us at the outpost, and many of them were too high, all level four or five. With only one or two hundred of us ordinary people, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend the hotel for long even if we use up all our ammunition..."
When Gu Xulin learned that there was a high probability that a zombie tide was coming, he already knew that the defense battle tonight would be difficult!
However, now the zombies are at the gates of the city. No, not only that, they have already broken through their fences and are marching towards them. If they don't defend with all their might, where can they escape to? And can they escape? Even ordinary people can't outrun the third-level zombies, not to mention that there are fourth- and fifth-level zombies and mutant zombie beasts in the zombie swarm!
If you don't resist, you will die faster and more miserably!
Seeing that they were already losing their composure before the zombies even reached them, Gu Xulin had to comfort them, "I'm here, what are you afraid of? I'll protect you, just hide in the back and fight with all your strength, and if you can't hold on, retreat to the hotel, safety comes first, do you understand?"
"Yes, Major." With Gu Xulin's comfort and promise, the subordinates were not so scared anymore and gained a lot of confidence.
"Hurry up, pile up the sandbags and set up the rifle!"
Just as Gu Xulin was still calling on them to build a defense line as quickly as possible, a creature suddenly jumped down from the roof at the entrance of the street ahead, and just happened to jump onto the roof of a car parked on the side of the road, and smashed the car with a "bang", scaring everyone so much that they all turned around.
With the dim moonlight and the reflection of nearby lights, everyone was able to see clearly that it was actually a cloud corpse beast with nine tentacles on its back!
The horror on people's faces just lasted for a second when another cloud haze corpse beast jumped out from another direction.
As everyone raised their guns and stood alert, someone exclaimed, "Look, what's that on the wall?"
People subconsciously looked in the direction the man who screamed was pointing his gun, only to see two mutant species lying on the wall of the house opposite, looking extremely terrifying.
They are neither human nor human, with slender bodies, their muscles atrophied and dry like a skeleton, and their limbs dry and slender. There are fan-shaped webbed feet on both sides of the skull, and a thick layer of skin membrane growing on the back connects the slender limbs from the sides of the body, thus forming a membrane wing surface composed of skin, muscles, and other soft tissues, and the contraction of the wing surface is supported by the shoulders as a skeleton.

I'm sorry if I scared you... Please don't have nightmares! I can delete it!
The prototype of "Blood Bat Skeleton" is inspired by the carnival murder "Alien"
"Blood bat skeleton?" Gu Xulin frowned, looking surprised. "Or is it a fourth-level corpse beast?"
When he saw the two blood bat skeletons lying or squatting on the wall of the house, Gu Xulin's mind immediately recalled the scene when he saw the blood bat skeletons killing their prey by hugging people and sucking their blood.
He called the other party's seemingly gentle but cruel and bloody hunting method a "deadly embrace"!
There are many rows of serrations on the abdomen of the blood bat skeleton. Once it opens its wings to hug a person, its strong and powerful shoulder bones will hold the prey tightly, and then it opens its serrated belly mouth to suck the prey's flesh and blood until the prey in its arms is drained of blood or suffocated to death by its shoulder bones.
Even though the two blood bat skeletons in front of them are only fourth-level corpse beasts, they are more terrifying than fourth- and fifth-level zombies and cloud-haze corpse beasts!
Before Gu Xulin could recover from his shock, a large wave of third-level zombies had already appeared on the street not far away, running towards them one after another.
