Li Tie quickly put away his gun upon hearing the words and then stood up, no longer focusing on the situation inside the prison, but looking outside the prison.
If the main gate were broken and these zombies got in, they would be doomed.
However, as he turned his head, the sight he witnessed made his scalp tingle.
The open ground a few hundred meters around the prison was flat.
At this moment, it was densely packed with zombies, the Zombie Tide resembling ants, endless. In the dark of night, the sheer number of zombies was terrifying; Li Tie had never seen so many zombies.
Even in the prolonged ten-day downpour at the Big Camphor Tree Base, there hadn’t been this many zombies.
When there are enough zombies, those at the base of the wall begin to pile up. The wall, over 7 meters but not reaching 8 meters, generally cannot be breached by the zombies unless there are terrifyingly many of them.
At that moment, they had already piled up to nearly three meters.
Focused mainly at the main gate, upon seeing this scene, Li Tie sucked in a cold breath and urgently shouted to the people below, "Bring our vehicles over here and block the entrance to the gate, bring several vehicles."
After saying all this, Li Tie took out the walkie-talkie, turned on the public channel, and shouted to everyone, "There are an unbeleivably large number of zombies outside, some have started piling up, nearly three meters high."
Even during the fiercest period of the Zombie Tide outside the initial Big Camphor Tree Base, it wasn’t less formidable than this. But back then, it was a super heavy rain lasting many days, with zombies from dozens of kilometers around having converged to create such a scale.
Why are there so many zombies here after just a brief spell of rain?
What they didn’t know was that the prison was located near the suburbs of the provincial capital, and even though it was the suburbs, it was still near the provincial capital.
This provincial capital had a population of several million before the apocalypse. In contrast, the Big Camphor Tree Base was located in the countryside, deep within the mountains, dozens of kilometers away from the nearest county.
Where there are people, there are zombies.
Additionally, the continuous gunfire and crucially, the death of hundreds of people within a short period, greatly intensifying the smell of blood, attracted the zombies.
In the torrential rain, the zombies’ sense of smell and their condition greatly improved. Under normal circumstances, it would not be possible for zombies to pile up .
At this moment, due to the proximity to the provincial capital and the large base of zombies, affected by the rain, the zombies’ sense of smell and sensitivity greatly increased. Moreover, the strong smell of blood from the prison attracted these zombies, leading to such a massive Zombie Tide.
For Li Tie and his group, this was an unprecedented Zombie Wave.
The surging Zombie Tide, with its roaring sound echoing between heaven and earth.
The combination of various factors resulted in so many zombies; with so many zombies, it was uncertain whether the prison’s walls could withstand them.
Li Tie’s shout immediately alarmed everyone.
At present, although the fighting inside the prison had subsided, it wasn’t completely over yet, as some prisoners, taking advantage of the night, hid in various places, and the checks had just begun, but now they faced an even bigger problem.
Upon hearing this, Third Uncle thought for two seconds and immediately shouted, "Lao Lu, Lao Qin, Lao Xie, Tianlong, have your men pause killing the enemies and go support the wall."
Lao Xie had just come out of the basement, and hearing the words of Li Tie and Third Uncle, he immediately mentioned the discovery of five barrels of diesel fuel in the basement, each holding 200 liters, and asked, "Should we move them up for use?"
Upon hearing this, Third Uncle immediately brightened up and said, "Yes, move them up now. Also, Xiao Tie, before we left, we brought two Rocket Launchers, and there should be 7 boxes of Hand Grenades in the trunk; go get them. I’ll be right there."
After Third Uncle said all this, watching the night fall silent, contemplating this crisis, if they could withstand the zombies entering the walls, that would be fine, if not.
Then, they must be prepared for the worst, thus he looked towards the tallest building, the Water Tower where Lao Qin was.
