Wasteland Commander

Having dealt with this wave of zombies, Ye Fan knew that the scales of victory were tipping in his favor.

The opponent's current zombie count was barely eighty thousand.

Although these eighty thousand included many powerful mutated zombies, the Dawn Army wasn't without its own resistance.

Feeling slightly relieved, he suddenly received a warning from Nana.

"Sir, a supply crate has appeared twenty-eight kilometers north of Xing'an Mountain Range."

"Oh, another supply crate!"

Although the supply crate was important, Ye Fan wasn't too eager.

What could be gained from a supply crate wouldn't significantly boost the army's combat strength.

Even if it could enhance a group's level, he couldn't currently gather the forces to activate it.

But the supply crate needed to be retrieved; he just didn't have the time.

Turning around, he scanned the guards' ranks.

He glanced at Zhuge Yunxue and shook his head slightly.

He glanced at the Army Soldier and sighed softly.

He glanced at Shen Ruihui, his eyes lighting up.

Shen Ruihui immediately sensed the Commander-in-Chief's trusting gaze.

"Sir, I'll go right away!"

"Alright, there might be mutant beasts in the mountain range, take Xiaotian and Zhen Tian with you."

"Yes, rest assured, sir."

He ran down from the city wall, taking Xiaotian and Zhen Tian, drove a three-wheeled vehicle towards the core area, abandoned the vehicle at the rear gate, and entered the Xing'an Mountain Range.

It's not easy to make a round trip of twenty-two kilometers; Shen Ruihui would likely return after dark.

Ye Fan couldn't afford to be distracted and immediately turned to engage in the current battle.

The next attack was coming, and Ye Fan ordered all survivors in the main city district not to leave their rooms and to pull down all the curtains, forbidding any peeking.

Because the upcoming battle might reveal some secrets of the Dawn Army.

The survivors were cooperative, obediently refraining from watching the battle.

The next batch of zombies arrived!

Wang Huining's command wasn't thoughtless; his second zombie attack was much more tactical.

He concentrated the main assault on three points.

One by the main gate, another by one of the land gates.

And another at the southeast corner, far from the two land gates, and even a distance from the Water Gate.

The three points were far apart, causing the Dawn Army to scramble.

At these three locations, the piles of zombie bodies even nearly reached the city walls.

Even after burning, they were nearly four meters high.

Elsewhere on the walls, bodies were piled less than a meter high.

This was called focused attack, not equal exertion.

If Ye Fan hadn't just set him up, the third wave of zombies might have scaled the walls at these three points.

But the next assault didn't stop.

Once the zombies dispersed, around ten o'clock in the morning, the zombie army began their third assault!

This time it was noticeably different.

Amid the ranks, two giant King Kong Zombies and three fiery Crawlers stood out.

Moreover, these zombies had no other zombies around them, making it less efficient to concentrate fire on them; yet, failing to target them, their approach to the walls would undoubtedly cause the Dawn Army trouble.

"The baldy's gotten smarter, eh."

Ye Fan rubbed his chin and summoned Rocket Launcher Warrior Su Mo.

"Su Mo, take some rocket launcher warriors and test those King Kong and Crawler zombies."

"Understood, sir!"

A few Three-star Rocket Launcher Warriors gathered, patiently waiting for the zombies to approach.

Snipers began taking shots, and heavy machine guns roared.

Initially, the focus was to eliminate mutated zombies; once the main force neared, Army Soldiers and Conscripts were the primary forces targeting regular zombies.

As the King Kong and Crawler zombies entered range, Su Mo and several Three-star Rocket Launcher Warriors opened fire!

Rockets spewing black smoke targeted these big guys.

The Crawlers reacted swiftly, leaping ten meters away when the rocket neared, dodging it, and continuing leisurely forward.

A King Kong Zombie sidestepped, but another failed to dodge.

Because Su Mo coordinated with another Rocket Launcher Warrior, the first shot was evaded, but not the second.

A direct hit!

BOOM~~~!

A fireball erupted, blasting the King Kong Zombie into a somersault.

Ye Fan quickly opened his left eye to observe.

The King Kong got up again.

Its chest was charred, flesh exposed, injured but not dead.

Such wounds meant little to zombies; if you don't hit the head, they won't die.

And precisely aiming a rocket at its head was undoubtedly challenging.

The rocket's power wasn't much different from a mortar, man-portable anti-air missiles, or even a D-77 towed rocket launcher.

To kill a King Kong head-on was extremely difficult.

Wang Huining, watching keenly, was also focused on this attack.

Seeing the King Kong endure a direct rocket hit with little harm, Wang Huining was thrilled.

"Well done! Ye Fan, let's see what your Dawn Army will do against my King Kong."

As the King Kong Zombie entered firing range, the Dawn Army's real trouble began.

Gunfire rang relentlessly, but hitting the King Kong Zombie was like tickling it.

The skin of this zombie is like a layer of tough iron armor, with a thickness of 30 centimeters. Even sniper bullets can't threaten its insides.

Two King Kong zombies each rushed towards an assault point, while three Crawlers followed behind them, seemingly concentrating their forces on these two points.

It seems they abandoned the point at the southeast corner.

The most brutal wall battle finally erupted.

Large groups of zombies climbed over piles of bodies, directly threatening the wall.

These two piles of bodies stretched for dozens of meters, and the arms of taller zombies reached the wall directly.

The glass windows at the watchtower shattered, and heavy machine guns aimed straight at the piles, firing madly!

Flamethrower Warriors lay prone on the walls, spewing massive flames into the air.

Zombies that climbed the piles instantly turned into torches.

Dense streams of bullets left no gaps, and the zombies that poked their heads out were instantly shot down.

An Armored Zombie took two shots to the head. The sniper bullets passed through its mouth, but it wasn't killed.

A claw swung down, knocking the defending Conscript off his position.

Rolling down with his hands covering his head, as long as he's not dead, the Three-Star Medical Soldiers could revive him.

Though that Armored Zombie was soon gunned down by the heavy machine gun, the danger to the walls was evident.

Zombies howled and charged up, and casualties began to rise.

If that were all, it could be manageable; some sacrifices could still hold them off.

The key was that the main purpose of these Mutated Zombies was to cover the King Kong zombies.

The King Kong zombies had reached the walls, climbing the piles of bodies, surrounded by a few Armored Zombies.

This was happening at both points!

Behind them, the Crawlers zigzagged, poised to follow up swiftly and massacre once the King Kong zombies climbed the walls.

In front, a King Kong zombie stood atop the pile of bodies!

Though heavy firepower rained down, the King Kong remained unflinching.

With both massive claws swung wide, it gripped the wall's protrusion.

It would only take one more effort to climb the wall.

At this moment, suddenly from below the wall, a giant beast surged from the water!

Xiaoba landed again!

In no time, it reached the central wall, its gigantic tentacles rose, tightly entangling the climbing King Kong!

The King Kong roared thunderously, struggling to pull away, as two beasts began competing in strength.

Xiaoba, the ocean giant beast able to drag warships into the depths, boasted unimaginable strength. Yet, it was a standoff for three to four seconds against the King Kong zombie, showing its terrifying power.

In the end, it couldn't match Xiaoba's strength, getting dragged off the wall.

Once fallen, it had no control.

Xiaoba pulled the King Kong zombie into the water.

The surface was roiling with fierce splashes, bubbles incessantly rising.

Blood started seeping from the water, noticeably Xiaoba's blood.

The enormous, sharp claws of the King Kong zombie could wound even Xiaoba.

But ultimately, it couldn't escape, getting dragged to the riverbed and slaughtered.

The injured Xiaoba devoured the King Kong zombie.

Ye Fan didn't continue letting Xiaoba fight; he'd rather lose some Red Alert Units than lose Xiaoba, as it was currently irreplaceable for him.

********

Xiaoba dealt with the King Kong at the main gate, while the King Kong at the other gate charged up the wall.

Watching the changes on the wall, Wang Huining sneered from afar.

As long as this King Kong could open a breach, he'd command the main force to surge forward.

He didn't believe the Dawn Army had a second sea monster.

The King Kong zombie stood on the pile of bodies, half its body already above the wall.

Swinging its gigantic arms, it knocked down soldiers in droves!

Seeing things spiraling out of control.

The guards beside Ye Fan could barely contain themselves; if not for protecting their officer, they'd have rushed up to fight the King Kong.

Ye Fan restrained the guards from acting on impulse.

With a wave of his hand, a soldier swiftly ran up from beneath the wall.

Unlike any other soldiers, this one carried a large explosive pack!

Demolition Warrior!

Costing eight hundred Gold!

Ye Fan had exhausted his funds, but having collected two thousand Gold from the mines, he instantly created these two warriors upon seeing the King Kong.

For King Kong, ordinary weapons couldn't hurt it—some special tactics were essential.

"Rocket Launcher, fire together!"

The Rocket Launcher Warriors, long on standby, opened fire simultaneously.

Boom~~~!

The King Kong had just climbed the wall, unsteady, and was blasted right off it.

At this instant, the Demolition Warrior pulled down the explosive pack, yanked the fuse, and leapt at the King Kong zombie.

Pummeled by the Rocket Launcher, the King Kong was severely injured, and just as it struggled to rise, the Demolition Warrior stuffed the explosive pack right into its grasp.

With the pack secured, a vehicle suddenly roared to life inside the city.

At the rear of the truck, a rope was tied, looped around the Demolition Warrior's waist.

Before the zombies could attack him, the car yanked him into the city!

"Get down!"

Boom~~!

A fireball erupted skyward, shaking the entire wall!

Ye Fan staggered and fell into Zhuge Yunxue's arms, his open left eye clearly seeing the King Kong zombie's head blasted high into the sky!
