Chapter 113: War Begins!
Ye Fan issued the order, and Zhongjing immediately arranged it.
Five D-66 Towed Rocket Cannons were pulled out.
They lined up, placed in the central area of the Main City District.
When the D-66 rocket launchers were pushed out, cheers erupted throughout Dawn City.
Many survivors couldn't resist peeking out, despite the warriors' shouts, to witness the awe-inspiring scene.
They felt very fortunate, fortunate that they hadn't left Dawn City.
With such modern weaponry, there might indeed be a chance to fight this battle.
The maximum range of the mortars is 6500 meters, while the D-66 has a range of 8500 meters!
Ten professional gunners quickly loaded the shells.
"Southeast direction, 7200 meters!"
"Lock onto the target location!"
"Strike range is a hundred-meter diameter!"
After loading was completed, Zhongjing reported to Ye Fan: "Commander, ready to strike the target at any time."
Ye Fan nodded; this was his first time using rocket artillery for an attack.
As a commander, he hadn't truly witnessed the power of the rockets, and Ye Fan wasn't very confident.
After all, he had only seen it on TV before, never experiencing it firsthand.
Based on the Armored Zombie's actions, Ye Fan could roughly determine its identity.
This guy happened to stay out of mortar range, suggesting it's been hit by mortars before.
The only time he used mortars in Chengguan Town was when a group attempted to sneak-attack the police station.
"Hit by mortars and still alive, let's see how hard your zombie leader bones really are!"
"Ready...!"
"Fire!"
With Ye Fan's order, the five rocket launchers fired!
Boom, boom, boom~~~!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom~~~~!!
Each launcher had twelve barrels, like a fireworks display, each rocket leaving a tail in the sky!
Fire lights up the sky, sweeping over the zombie horde, each streak like a dragon flying through the sky!
This magnificent scene made blood race with excitement!
********
Wang Huining stood at a distance, still cursing Ye Fan non-stop.
The zombies under his command did not act immediately.
Wang Huining's intelligence persevered, despite becoming a zombie, he retained human thinking.
He could see that Dawn City was not straightforward.
Easy to defend, difficult to attack.
Thus, he did not plan to rashly launch a fierce attack on Dawn City; first, he wanted to exert psychological pressure on the people inside.
The increasing number of zombies was enough to cause psychological breakdown for the average person.
Anyway, he was commanding remotely, seated comfortably like a king.
No rush.
Tired of cursing, he raised his hand, and a nearby Crawler handed him a cigarette.
Despite commanding 300,000 zombies, those ordinary zombies had wooden brains, understanding only simple commands like attack or stay still.
Mutated Zombies were a bit better, understanding orders related to pursuits and patrols.
Only Level 2 Mutated Zombies could grasp more intricate tasks.
To Wang Huining, ordinary zombies were idiots, mutated zombies were brainless, and Level 2 zombies were slightly smarter than dogs.
Click!
The Crawler used its relatively agile claws to light the lighter.
Wang Huining took a puff and casually blew out a smoke ring.
Unable to taste the rich aroma of tobacco, the fun of smoking boiled down to blowing smoke rings.
Through the smoke ring, he saw a cluster of glimmering lights.
"Hmm...?"
"Could I breathe fire without realizing it?"
The firelight rapidly expanded.
"No way~~~!"
Wang Huining felt his hair stand on end in that instant.
Though he had no hair, the sensation was incredibly real.
"Damn it! Rockets! Protect me!"
The smoke in Wang Huining's mouth was swallowed down his stomach as he shouted loudly.
The nearby zombies surged forward, instantly pinning Wang Huining beneath them.
Xing Hai, with a body like King Kong, closely shielded him.
Then came the rocket barrage.
Carpet bombing!
Boom, boom, boom~~~!
Amidst the autumn fields, the earth trembled!
Fireballs seemed to flip the earth over; Wang Huining's surrounding hundred-meter area was thoroughly scoured by the rockets!
Even seven kilometers away, Dawn Army's city wall could still glimpse the blooming red flowers there.
In the violent explosion, zombies were blasted into the sky.
Neither ordinary zombies, Agile Zombies, nor even Armored Zombies could withstand this technological bombardment.
At the center of the explosion, they were torn apart instantly!
This entire hundred-meter diameter was the explosion's core!
Wang Huining's location was the disaster zone.
The zombies piled up outside to protect him faced annihilation.
Especially when two rockets accurately hit the zombie pile, the scene resembled a disaster film.
Limbs flew in all directions, black blood everywhere, raining down from the sky.
As the explosions ended, the zombie pile immediately shrank considerably.
Wang Huining was not injured.
Because he was completely covered by the towering four-meter-high Xing Hai, so the rockets did not harm him.
However, he suffered heavy losses under his command!
It's important to know that a large group of mutated zombies was gathered around him.
Within this hundred-meter radius alone, there are nearly two thousand zombies, the vast majority of which are Armored and Agile Zombies.
Just in the process of this recent bombardment, at least over a thousand mutated zombies were blown up!
He even saw two dead Crawlers at his side!
This made Wang Huining's heart bleed!
He only had seven Crawlers in total on this side.
These were all Evolvers he painstakingly found and then infected into zombies, each one was hard-won.
And they were just blown away by the bombardment like this.
The only consolation was that the six King Kong Zombies didn't die.
For one, the King Kong Zombies are physically tough and already hard to kill, and for another, to protect him, several King Kongs beside him rushed down, positioned at the bottom of the zombie pile, so they were fine.
Only one had its shoulder injured, flesh and blood blurred.
Wang Huining's fangs were almost crushed.
As a military enthusiast, he knew that it takes some time to reload after the rockets fire, and he angrily pointed in the direction of Dawn City.
"Ye Fan, you XX your XX.....??*$#%^*&*卍卐!!"
He intended to shout a few curses and then retreat further.
If worse comes to worst, withdraw ten kilometers and see if Ye Fan can still hit him?
********
Ye Fan stood on the city walls, and the effect of the bombardment was very good this time.
Destroying over a thousand mutated zombies dealt a heavy blow to the enemy.
Even two Crawlers died in the bombardment.
It's just that bald zombie is still bouncing around.
He didn't expect to take out the bald one right away, after all, there are so many guards around.
But this bald zombie is a shouter, and even got up with a filthy mouth, apparently knowing something about weaponry, knowing he could still have time to retreat.
The D-66 Rocket carries 24 rounds, should be able to fire one more round, just not sure if it would finish loading in time for the bombing.
At this time, Zhongjing suddenly reported: "Commander, all five of our rocket cannons have been promoted, each cannon now carries 36 rounds, among which 12 rounds load automatically, shall we bomb again?"
Ye Fan couldn't help but be stunned.
Promoted so quickly!
Right, the first wave killed too many mutations, promotion is too normal, likely close to upgrading to Two-Star.
The time hasn't reached twelve o'clock yet, it's a waste not to use it, so Ye Fan simply ordered, "Fire immediately, same position as before, give this bald one another wave, be quick, he's about to retreat from there."
Zhongjing accepted the order with a wave of the hand: "Fire!"
Thump thump thump thump~~~~!
Sixty rockets fired again!
Like a meteoric rain crossing the sky, bombarding Wang Huining's side once again!
********
Wang Huining never dreamed that the interval between the two bombardments was less than a minute.
"How many rocket launchers does this Dawn Army have?"
Wang Huining couldn't help but wail, but this time he learned his lesson.
No longer letting large groups of zombies come to protect him, he immediately got the injured King Kong Zombie to press him down, while the other zombies promptly scattered and fled.
The rockets devastated the land once more.
Amidst the barrage of artillery fire, another batch of zombies fell.
The precision of the rockets improved after promotion, the King Kong Zombie protecting Wang Huining was hit by three consecutive rockets.
The metal-like skin on its body was blasted apart, with a thickness of up to thirty centimeters!
After letting out a roar, this King Kong Zombie was bombed alive to death.
It's imaginable that if it wasn't protecting Wang Huining, this second round of bombardment probably wouldn't have been able to kill it.
Even so, Wang Huining couldn't come through the second round of bombardment unscathed, his leg was blown off.
It's just that now as a zombie, losing a leg didn't make him feel pain.
However, it did cost him his mobility.
"Get me out of here!"
Xing Hai rushed over from the side, lifted the dead King Kong Zombie, pulled Wang Huining out, and took off running.
Ran three kilometers in one breath, stopping at a hillside.
Now more than ten kilometers away from Ye Fan's Dawn City.
He no longer had the energy to curse Ye Fan.
Cursing couldn't solve the problem, and he had lost a leg because of it.
Although he lacked sensation, two legs at least allowed him to walk.
Now he has only one hand and one foot left, right hand and left foot.
Already in a clearly unbalanced state.
Without one hand you can't do a push-up, now missing a foot, everything is inconvenient.
He didn't want to say anything anymore, only ruthless revenge would deal with a person like Ye Fan!
Regardless of scouting the terrain of the Dawn Army, Wang Huining issued a vicious order.
"Attack! Level Dawn City to the ground for me!"
"Leave no one alive!!!"
As Wang Huining ordered, zombies began to rush towards Dawn City.
The dark zombie horde was like the waves of the ocean, their roars akin to the roaring tides.
With the momentum to destroy everything, they swept forward madly!
The Red Alert Warriors on the city wall appeared indifferent, unmoved.
Produced by the Red Alert System, they never knew what fear was.
Ye Fan looked at the time.
There's still an hour and twenty minutes until twelve noon.
This eighty-minute period will be the greatest crisis and the greatest test since the founding of the Dawn Army!
