A million ard zombies, after the explosion of three mushroom bombs, their numbers dropped to less than five hundred thousand.
The originally crowded beach suddenly beca sparse.
This scene unfolding before his eyes broke Liu Chang’s defenses.
"How dare he! How dare he!"
"Does he not care about his armored corps? How dare Ye Fan do this!"
What he didn’t know was that before the explosion, the soldiers in the front Apocalypse tanks had already been transferred to the vehicles behind.
And those Three-star Apocalypses, facing the engulfing high heat from the mushroom bomb explosion, would certainly have their internal circuits damaged, but the ammo-less Apocalypses wouldn’t self-destruct with the mushroom bomb’s heat.
The Apocalypses that don’t self-destruct can be sent back to the repair factory.
They don’t even need the repair factory. Once this zombie attack is over, the multifunctional infantry vehicles from the rear can go and repair the Apocalypses.
But Liu Chang didn’t know this; he was trembling now, Ye Fan was too ruthless.
Not only ruthless to the enemy, but also to himself, actually willing to let his armored units be buried for the sake of eliminating ard zombies.
Of the initial one hundred fifty thousand zombie units, only less than a third remained now.
Moreover, the anti-air zombies were mostly destroyed in the successive explosions, and although the remaining forty thousand zombies still had decent combat power, completely annihilating the Dawn Army was now difficult.
Sure enough, after the explosion of the three mushroom bombs, the Dawn Army’s new wave of counterattack began again.
Countless shells rumbled down from the sky, mixed with nurous drones.
The Dawn Army’s artillery seed to go mad, firing shells as if money was no object, actually suppressing the zombies’ anti-air firepower!
Though heavily damaged, the zombies’ anti-air unit still had over ten thousand, yet they couldn’t achieve effective interception!
The extensive bombardnt made Liu Chang shake in fear.
"How can there be such dense firepower? How much ammunition did the Dawn Army reserve?"
"Our attack is actually being suppressed; our anti-air firepower is sowhat lacking!"
Boom, boom~~~!
Successive explosions occurred not far away, and as the shells fell, the bodies of a group of zombies were blasted into the sky.
The air buzzed eerily everywhere, the Dawn Army’s War Hawk team, cooperating with drones, was eliminating mutated birds in the sky.
Compared to zombies, the losses of mutated birds were also severe. After the mushroom bomb explosions, many couldn’t escape; their fragile bodies were easily swept away by the mushroom cloud’s heat, turning to ashes.
From originally having overwhelming superiority against the War Hawks, it has now leveled out.
Liu Chang clenched his teeth, observing the battlefield situation, while ordering the Corpse King to command the ard zombies to keep retaliating, determined to fight the Dawn Army to the end.
Though the situation was now disadvantageous, he held hope in his heart.
That hope was the one hundred fifty thousand troops led by Zheng Jinnan, who were on their way here. As long as these troops arrived, his efforts wouldn’t go to waste.
Holding off the Dawn Army, consuming their forces, would an success for him.
"These forty thousand ard zombies, spread them out completely, don’t give the enemy’s mushroom bombs any more chances!"
"Fire flexibly, engage in guerrilla warfare! Our numbers still hold absolute advantage, now we don’t aim to annihilate the Dawn Army, just to buy ti."
"It’s already three thirty in the morning. In another hour and a half, various armies will arrive at Dawn Island. As long as we’re not wiped out completely, the Dawn Army, internally pressed, will be surely defeated!"
Chang Liu’s eyes were bloodshot, screaming at the Corpse King beside him.
At this mont, he looked more like a zombie than the zombies themselves.
The fat Corpse King showed no expression, silently commanding the zombies. As a Corpse King, he was nothing but a battle machine.
Indeed, Liu Chang’s tactics were right.
When the side with nurical superiority starts guerrilla warfare against you, even the Dawn Army wouldn’t have a good approach.
The recent artillery suppression was Ye Fan’s cost-ignoring firing; continual ammunition supply indeed showed effect, disrupting the zombies’ offensive. But it was sowhat excessive, leading the zombies to start guerrilla tactics.
Watching these scattered zombie groups bouncing around, retaliating against the Dawn Army on the walls and wandering aimlessly, shooting and retreating, made the Dawn Army’s elimination efforts difficult to carry on.
And at this point, the communications officer had already delivered the radar map to Ye Fan.
"Sir! ssage from the radar station: Over at Jiangzhou, a 1.2 million army is quickly advancing towards us along the Tianjiang and Tianjiang South Side, now less than three hundred kiloters away!"
"At Tianjiang North Side, thirty thousand troops from Mountain River Base and Huaihai Base are also approaching us!"
"Additionally, there’s movent at sea; a fleet is currently sailing towards the Dawn Island waters, distance being less than two hundred nautical miles."
Ye Fan gritted his teeth: "The timing was really well chosen. I’ve underestimated this old fox Zheng Jinnan."
"If we can’t resolve these forty thousand zombie units quickly, we’ll have real trouble."
Ye Fan pondered: "Is the naval fleet ready?"
"Ready, sir. As per your orders, all four carrier battle groups have returned, now basically at the designated positions."
"What about the Third Field Brigade?"
"Also returned as per your orders, currently positioned in the north of the river."
"All units and departnts, move into your designated positions. This battle won’t be over in just a day or two. Tell them they must hold back the enemy troops and prevent them from joining the battle on Dawn Island."
"Yes, sir. I’ll issue the orders imdiately."
The communicator went to relay the orders, while Ye Fan turned his attention back to the battlefield within the island.
This ard zombie troop remained a major threat that had to be resolved quickly.
At this mont, a sudden system notification ca through.
[Attention, Commander. The Super Weapon Research Facility has been completed. Please proceed to deploy it.]
Ye Fan imdiately withdrew from the ongoing battle on the city wall, got into a helicopter, and quickly returned to the vicinity of the council building.
Finding an open space, Ye Fan deployed the Super Weapon Research Facility.
It was essentially a building with a workshop, staffed by dozens of personnel.
Inside, there were complex instrunts and computers conducting super weapon research.
"Commander, you’ve arrived. The first super weapon has been unlocked. Please check it out."
Ye Fan quickly checked the defense page, and indeed, the first super weapon was unlocked.
[Iron Curtain: A special Red Alert technology that can produce a defensive energy layer, covering a 100-ter square area. Friendly units within this area will be invulnerable for one hour, able to withstand any form of attack. Cost: one billion gold. Note: The skill has a cooldown ti of 48 hours, and Iron Curtain devices can be constructed repeatedly.]
Seeing this black technology he had encountered in gas in the past made Ye Fan’s lips twitch.
This was an absurdly strong skill; once covered by the Iron Curtain, nothing could affect you.
But the skill had a ti limit; it wasn’t permanently invincible.
In reality, this duration was set to one hour.
A 100-ter by 100-ter range was not small.
Moreover, the Iron Curtain could be constructed repeatedly. Did that an if he built four Iron Curtains, he could cover a nuclear-powered carrier?
However, the cost of a billion was not cheap. Ye Fan glanced at his funds.
With 1.5 billion in funds, only 1.115 billion remained.
In just a few hours of battle, he had spent 350 million gold, equivalent to half a carrier battle group.
This rate of spending was enough to make Ye Fan’s heart bleed.
But now, Ye Fan still had to construct the Iron Curtain, so he imdiately selected it.
[Confirm construction of Iron Curtain: It will take 48 hours, please be patient, Commander.]
A billion in funds was deducted, and the construction of the Iron Curtain began its countdown.
Though 48 hours was a considerable ti, Ye Fan could afford to wait.
Regardless of how quickly the zombie battle could end, the battle with Jiangzhou wouldn’t be over in a day or two, and perhaps the Iron Curtain would still be useful.
Having completed the construction, Ye Fan was about to return to the city wall. As he approached the helicopter, he saw Ye Luo and Qin Sibei standing in front of it.
"Why are you out here? Go back and rest."
Ye Luo’s face was pale. "Brother! We’re worried about you. We can’t sleep, and scenes like this should be docunted in news coverage. Can I follow you? I want to film so footage."
"Nonsense. How dangerous is the battlefield? Why risk your life for a bit of news material?"
When Ye Fan sternly refused Ye Luo, Qin Sibei also spoke up.
"Brother Ye, please let us go. It’s been so long since the apocalypse started. We’re no longer scared little girls. I promise I’ll take good care of Luo Luo."
Ye Fan glanced at Qin Sibei’s slender fra, which didn’t seem capable of taking care of anyone.
However, with no ti to waste and both Ye Luo and Qin Sibei not giving up, he had no better options.
"Alright, once we’re at the city wall, I’ll arrange for you to stay in a watchtower and have soone look after you. Don’t wander off, okay?"
"Thank you, brother!"
"Thank you, Brother Ye! We’ll be fine!"
The two girls excitedly boarded the helicopter, following Ye Fan back to the vicinity of the city wall.
After settling them in a relatively safe watchtower and assigning a squad of Three-star Soldiers to protect them, Ye Fan continued to command the battle.
Ye Luo picked up a cara and started filming the battlefield.
She wanted to docunt the news material to be sent to the TV station the next day.
Beside her, Qin Sibei scanned the battlefield with her beautiful eyes and frowned slightly.
At this rate, even another ten hours of fighting wouldn’t conclude it.
Her gaze grew distant, deepening.
Gradually, her eyes fell upon the riverfront.
There lay a wasteland...
