Upon hearing Song Yuchang’s words, Chu Yuan glanced at the other two people beside him.
Beside him, there were always three people; besides Bashu’s leader Song Yuchang, there were also Lingnan’s leader Liu Jingyan, and Jiangnan’s new leader Xu Wei.
Xu Wei was soone whom Zheng Jinnan had single-handedly supported, and he was now following Chu Yuan.
Song Yuchang and Liu Jingyan, however, were sowhat inscrutable regarding their abilities, due to the distance.
At this mont, Xu Wei looked rather foolish and adorable, his thoughts easily readable.
And Liu Jingyan, a man in his thirties, at the peak of his pri, a Peak of Level 2 with dual mutations of strength and defense, showed no expression, leaving Chu Yuan guessing at what he was thinking.
Chu Yuan turned his gaze to Song Yuchang: "Oh! Leader Song has such things? Are you sure they work well?"
Song Yuchang nodded: "Young Marshal, rest assured. This item is extracted from zombie toxin, mixed with li and so chemicals. This toxin is like that brought by a teor shower, capable of turning people into zombies!"
Hearing this, Chu Yuan was stunned: "You guys actually made this kind of toxin?"
Song Yuchang was very proud: "That’s right, we’ve been experinting for a long ti to develop it, designed specifically for human bodies. Although it lacks the impact of the initial apocalypse, ordinary people, excluding mutants, absolutely cannot resist. Anyone who inhales this toxic gas for more than thirty minutes will mutate. It’s been tested many tis, and it’s absolutely foolproof."
Hearing Song Yuchang’s words, Chu Yuan felt reassured yet a bit worried.
He didn’t doubt the power of the toxic gas bomb, but from Song Yuchang’s words, it seed like they also had a lab conducting experints?
Could it be that Dr. Ouyang’s lab wasn’t exclusive to Jiangzhou?
To be able to create a toxic gas that causes mutation, this Bashu Base is quite terrifying.
However, now was clearly not the ti to inquire about this, and Chu Yuan nodded excitedly: "It’s almost November, the wind direction is just right with the northwest monsoon. Let Leader Song’s toxic gas bombs display their might."
Chu Yuan decided to maintain a confrontation along Jiang’s face, then launch a land assault.
This seed to be a flawless plan.
Let Song Yuchang’s toxic gas bombs launch an attack on the Dawn Army, surely causing chaos in their ranks.
Once the Dawn Army’s position is in disarray, my troops will charge in and hit them while they’re down.
Chu Yuan didn’t even plan to use his own troops at first; let the forces from Bashu Base and Jiangnan Base go first.
The forces from these two bases were raring to go, so I’ll give them a chance, while also conserving strength, because I have a feeling that the Dawn Army won’t be easily defeated.
I am not sure about the combat strength of these two bases, but they have an army of five hundred thousand; many fleas can bite the elephant to death.
Soon, a 1.2 million strong army began to move.
Troops from Jiangzhou and Lingnan Base began organizing defenses on the spot.
Seven hundred thousand strong army started building trenches and defenses, this ti Chu Yuan was thoroughly prepared, even bringing a hundred thousand engineers and many large engineering machines.
These engineer troops started constructing fortifications, tunnels, pits, etc., the tools all deployed, large swaths of positions were created.
Mines, barbed wire, electric grids, air defense weapons, etc., were all arranged in place, looking very conservative but matching Chu Yuan’s current ntality.
He talked casually about not taking Dawn Army seriously, but in truth, he was sowhat scared from last ti; now with others charging, he planned to command from the rear.
Facing soone as cunning as Ye Fan, one cannot be too cautious.
Seeing Chu Yuan’s rat-like actions, Lingnan Base leader Liu Jingyan, without visible emotion, also began digging trenches.
He wasn’t like that reckless Song Yuchang who would directly send troops to fight to the death with Dawn Army.
Actually, given his geographical position, he wouldn’t have engaged in this battle if there wasn’t so benefit.
But he ca, one reason being to take a stand, and another was seeking so benefit.
What that benefit is, only he knows now.
......
The battle with Jiangzhou comnced at noon that day.
Bashu Base’s artillery units launched an artillery attack on Dawn Army’s positions from a distance.
For such defenses, Dawn Army was well-prepared, and soldiers promptly retreated to trenches and bunkers, making the artillery effect minimal.
However, the subsequent arrival of the toxic gas did pose a bit of trouble for Dawn Army.
The pungent toxic gas spread across positions, covering an area of thirty kiloters.
As the acrid sll arrived, Ye Fan felt as if he was back at the onset of the apocalypse.
The thick stench in the air was very uncomfortable.
Over at their position, soldiers began showing signs of discomfort.
Upon receiving the report, Ye Fan felt alard and imdiately ordered all soldiers feeling unwell to withdraw.
During the retreat, so One-Star Soldiers even started exhibiting mutation signs.
Two-Star Soldiers fared slightly better but were already feeling discomfort, with symptoms like red spots and rashes appearing on their bodies.
As for the Three-Star Soldiers, they were not as affected; they could still breathe, just finding the toxic fus irritating.
At this mont, Ye Fan realized the effects of the toxic smoke.
This was a toxin capable of turning people into zombies.
At this ti, Ye Fan was very grateful that the first and second combat brigades of Dawn Army were initially composed entirely of Three-Star Soldiers.
Although they had so losses while battling ard zombies on Dawn Island, they had been reinforced with One-Star Soldiers.
At the ti of reinforcent with the One-Star Soldiers, after a fierce battle, many new recruits beca veterans, upgraded to Three-Star, and could still resist toxins.
In the two field brigades, there were more than four thousand One-Star and Two-Star soldiers combined.
Among them, there were close to two thousand One-Star Soldiers and over two thousand Two-Star Soldiers.
These were people who could not completely resist the virus, only possessing a certain resistance.
Ye Fan imdiately ordered all One-Star and Two-Star Soldiers to retreat imdiately, leaving the toxic smoke area.
The retreat was tily enough, and the Two-Star Soldiers gradually returned to normal after leaving the toxic smoke area.
However, among the more than one thousand One-Star Soldiers, over two hundred deeply affected were mutated during the retreat.
The comrades had no choice but to settle the mutated soldiers on the spot to prevent the virus from spreading.
Although the loss of over two hundred soldiers only amounted to over forty thousand Gold for Ye Fan, he was still extrely furious.
The enemy was truly insane, having not only created ard zombies but even this inhumane toxic gas.
Why would they develop such a weapon? Do they intend to cause another apocalypse crisis?
It’s fortunate the toxic gas was thrown on the position; if they had used artillery to send it into Dawn Island, Dawn Island would have been dood.
Fortunately, the enemy didn’t know that Dawn Army Soldiers were immune to the toxic gas; they were aiming to annihilate the Dawn Army.
"Commander! What do we do now?" The Brigade Commanders of the first and second brigades of the Dawn Army were red-eyed with anger, having already suffered a wave of toxic gas attacks before seeing the enemy.
Ye Fan took a deep breath, thought for a mont, and then said, "In this situation, if you were the enemy army, what would you do?"
First Brigade Commander Wang Hu thought for a mont: "I... I might wait for the gas to dissipate, then take advantage of the montum to advance, kill our soldiers who have turned into zombies, and seize the positions and weapons."
Second Brigade Commander Xu Haoran added, "I would also conduct surveillance to confirm our soldiers have mutated before taking action."
Upon hearing the brigade commanders’ remarks, Ye Fan was slightly moved.
"Consult the Engineers, didn’t we capture a fat Corpse King? Can we implant a chip in the Corpse King like we did with Wang Huining?"
The communicators called imdiately, receiving a quick response.
"The Engineers say that implanting the chip requires ti, and also, there are artificially implanted things inside the Corpse King’s brain that need to be deciphered and dismantled, which cannot be done in a short ti."
Ye Fan pulled Yuri over: "Yuri, can you control the Corpse King?"
Yuri did not have absolute confidence because the level of this Corpse King was not low.
However, he was still willing to try, "Commander, I’ll give it a try."
"Good, let’s hurry, the sooner the better."
Now the toxic smoke has not completely dissipated yet, and the area around the position is shrouded in smoke, making it impossible for the enemy to scout.
But gradually it’s getting windy, and when the wind gets stronger, everything becos unmanageable.
Ye Fan, with Yuri, rushed back to the council building.
So of the experintal sites of the Dawn Army were inside the council building, which was also Ye Fan’s residence and the safest place.
The captured Corpse King was detained in the basent of the council building.
As Ye Fan arrived at the entrance of the council building, he saw Ye Luo supporting a pale Qin Sibe standing by the door.
"Brother! Where are you going?"
"Brother has sothing to do, Luo Luo, please take good care of Sibe for a rest, Sibe, how did you faint in the observation tower?"
"Perhaps the scene was too brutal, I couldn’t take it, but I’m much better now." Qin Sibe blushed at being cared for attentively.
"Alright, eat so good food to replenish yourself, Luo Luo, go tell the cooking team to prepare two more dishes with Mutant Beast at for Sibe, and say it’s on my orders, using the best ingredients."
After speaking, Ye Fan, taking Yuri along, headed straight to the basent.
Upon entering the basent and reaching the place where the Corpse King was detained, Ye Fan found Ye Luo and Qin Sibe following him in.
Ye Fan was rather helpless, but at this mont, he had no ti to take care of these two young girls, urgently instructing Yuri to attempt to control the Corpse King.
A spiritual power emanated from Yuri’s brain, trying to control the unconscious fat Corpse King.
"Commander! It’s not working, the resistance is too strong! There is also chanical interference."
The Engineers imdiately coordinated with Yuri, dismantling all the tal devices inside the fat Corpse King’s brain.
At this urgent juncture, there was no ti for slow research, so they had to first turn the fat Corpse King into a regular Corpse King and attempt to let Yuri control it.
The fat Corpse King’s body trembled, gradually showing signs of the Awakening.
Yuri tried to control it again, feeling that the spiritual resistance of the fat Corpse King was still very strong.
Gradually, sweat ford on Yuri’s forehead.
Ye Fan watched nervously, Ye Luo also watched nervously, Qin Sibe’s beautiful big eyes squinted slightly.
"Commander... I think, I still can’t..."
"Ah! It worked!"
Suddenly, the fat Corpse King’s body trembled, its resistance suddenly weakened, and then it was instantly controlled by Yuri.
This unexpected outco left Yuri, who hadn’t been hopeful, stunned.
