After the riot, the zombies beca even more frenzied, running towards the direction of the Grizzly Military District without any pause.
The massive wave of corpses, braving the rain of bullets, surged forward in wave after wave, continuously heading towards the Grizzly Military District.
The dense and chaotic gunfire tore through the peaceful night sky, and the explosions of grenades almost never ceased, one round after another.
The dazzling fire and the continuous release of incendiary bombs illuminated the pitch-black night sky as if it were daylight, creating an imnsely grand scene.
As ti passed, the gathering zombies increased exponentially. What was originally a military force facing only tens of thousands of zombies now had to confront several hundred thousand.
Coupled with the substantial ammunition consumption during this period and the partial withdrawal of troops, the front-line forces were unexpectedly unable to withstand the pressure, with several small defensive lines being breached.
"The zombies are coming up!"
"Report, report, it's not good. Three defensive lines on the front have been breached by the zombies, and the breaches are slowly expanding. We can't hold on much longer."
A soldier rushed into the room, interrupting the discussion of several high-ranking officials. However, at this point, no one paid attention to his actions, as they were all stunned by what he had said.
"The zombies are coming up? Explain yourself clearly. Weren't things fine before? We evacuated so many people, and the impact of the zombie tide was gradually diminishing. We were able to hold them off before, why can't we now?" said a few senior officers, standing up in astonishnt from their seats, so in disbelief.
"General, I don't know what's going on. Those zombies seed to go mad all of a sudden, several tis crazier than before, and their numbers are gradually increasing."
"Can't hold them back, can't hold them back. Brothers are risking their lives to narrow the defensive lines and breaches, but still can't stop the zombies' attack," the soldier said, looking distraught.
"Get connected to the frontline positions and report the current situation. It can't be that all the defensive lines have been breached!" Chief Liu Yuanbing's face was extrely grim. They had thought that with the evacuation of personnel from the military district, there would be an improvent, and the impact of the large-scale zombie tide would decrease.
Who would have thought that despite the ongoing evacuation, the zombie tide continued to expand, and even broke through the prepared defenses.
Although three defensive lines were set up in front of the core base of the military district, the first line was the strongest. If the first line was breached, the second and third lines would only serve as a buffer.
Ring, ring...
Before they could make the call, a call ca in from the frontline positions. The operator quickly took the call, but before they could say much, the sound of gunfire and chaos could be heard from the other end. The call was then abruptly disconnected, and the outco was evident.
"The second defensive line has also fallen..." the operator reported hoarsely after hanging up the phone.
In less than fifteen minutes from the soldier's report to the incoming call, the zombies had breached the second defensive line, and the core of the military district was now in imminent danger.
"Mobilize all remaining missiles, rockets, and artillery positions. Target the first and second defensive lines and conduct indiscriminate bombardnt..." Liu Yuanbing's face was dark, and he spoke with a grave tone.
"What? No, General Liu, even if the zombies have breached the defensive lines, there are definitely still surviving soldiers resisting by relying on the bunkers and towers. If we conduct indiscriminate bombardnt..."
Upon hearing Liu Yuanbing's orders, the other generals' faces changed, and several even voiced their objections.
"If we don't do this, do you think the firepower of the third defensive line can hold back nearly a million zombies for how long? An hour or two?" one of the generals questioned.
In response to the general's doubts, Liu Yuanbing simply said, "Then... we can't sacrifice the lives of those soldiers for such a bombardnt."
"I know it's difficult for everyone to accept, but the zombies are less than ten kiloters away from the core of the military district. If the third defensive line is breached, the soldiers at the core base will have no way to retreat, and will be left to die," Liu Yuanbing spoke with conviction, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
Faced with his words, the other generals fell into silence. Although no one wanted to admit it, the reality was that this was a choice between the majority and the minority.
Indiscriminate bombardnt would lead to the near annihilation of the soldiers resisting at the forefront, but not conducting the bombardnt would leave no chance for the remaining soldiers to evacuate if the base's defenses were breached.
"Now, with the bombardnt, we still have a chance. We can clear out enough zombies and re-establish the defensive line. This is our only opportunity," Liu Yuanbing urged.
"Let's vote by a show of hands. Those in favor of the bombardnt, please raise your hands..."
After speaking, Liu Yuanbing, as the warti supre commander, was the first to raise his hand. The other military leaders at the table looked at each other for a while, but eventually, more and more hands were raised, and in the end, the majority agreed to conduct the indiscriminate bombardnt.
Following the orders, a large number of missile launchers in the military district were activated, and rocket and mortar positions were put into action.
After the command was given, a ten-kiloter stretch of the frontline was subjected to indiscriminate bombardnt. The deafening sound reverberated through the sky, and could even be heard in the Order headquarters in the center of Grizzly City.
"Why are they setting off fireworks at this ti of night?" Judy walked on the walls of Order, watching as dozens of things that looked like shooting stars flew up into the sky in the distance, and then fell back down, accompanied by the sound of explosions, creating sizable mushroom clouds.
"I think all the zombie hordes in Grizzly City are converging towards the military district. Otherwise, how else do you explain the fact that the zombies in the city have almost disappeared recently? Even the few remaining ones are just small fry," Mu Ling remarked, looking at the distant streaks of light. She had so knowledge about these things. These were definitely the trajectories of missiles and rockets, but they probably weren't equipped with nuclear warheads. Otherwise, the impact of the explosions felt in Grizzly City, at such a close distance, would be much more severe.
"You're always so concerned about these things. No wonder the boss hasn't co to find the two of us recently," Judy teased.
"What are you talking about? Why are you suddenly bringing up the boss?" Mu Ling was left bewildered by Judy's rapid change of topic and couldn't understand what she was saying.
"Sis Mu, why aren't you worried at all? The boss recently brought back a pair of beautiful sisters from the Magic Capital, and they even have bonuses. Aren't you afraid of being neglected by the boss?" Judy looked at Mu Ling, her eyes carrying a hint of playfulness.
"I can't believe you're always thinking about these things. The boss has his own arrangents, and besides, can you really stop the boss from seeing other won?" Mu Ling responded sowhat irritably to Judy.
"I'm telling you, you're so clueless. Even Tess and Sacha, those little sisters, know how to please the boss. This ti, when they went to the Magic Capital, they even brought back a pet bird for the boss and managed to please him, getting him to deflower fifty maidens. Damn, the more I talk about it, the angrier I get. Those two are such scheming won," Judy said, getting angrier as she spoke.
Mu Ling almost burst out laughing, finding Judy's outburst quite amusing.
"Why are you looking at like that? Don't laugh. As for and Lisa, it's understandable. Their status is there—she was the first to follow the boss, and the other is the boss's sister. But what about us? At the very least, we're third or fourth in line. Now, the ti we spend with the boss is even less than that of the newcors, Miss Yiren and her daughter."
