Cloud Peak sent over half its elite troops to the first defense line. There were 40 evolved. Moreover, Hungry Tiger Cavalry was all arranged here, meaning there were nearly 80 evolved here.
There were also over two hundred everyday warriors, each with new rifles. Beside the defenses were boxes of bullets.
Even Ye Zhongming was here to hold the fort. He had a sniper rifle in his hands and aimed at the horde that was getting close.
She considered the elementary shooting of the survivors, so Mo Ye only ordered them to fire when the horde was a hundred meters away.
The battle entered its most intense state.
The disgusting monsters walking at the front screeched and gave out awful noises. They were ripped into pieces by a metal storm. Blood, flesh, broken limbs, and bone fragments appeared before their eyes. It was as if a meat grinder had driven into the horde and meshed hundreds, if not thousands, of them into dust.
When many survivors saw those scenes, they instinctively stopped. That was because they had never seen such things before.
But the zombies wouldn’t stop because of that. In that short moment, while the gunshots got softer, the zombies filled up the spots of their dead comrades and even pushed a few meters forwards.
“Keep focused. Those who aren’t evolved aim at their necks. Fire quickly but don’t hold down the trigger!” Mo Ye fired while shouting to remind those who had only touched guns a couple of times about things they had to pay attention to to increase their efficiency.
Each one of them looked nervous. As the battle proceeded, that nervousness disappeared.
Everyone adapted to this battle, especially since it was one where only one side would live.
The first defense line was chosen at a great position. There were dense forests on both sides, and they were blocked by stone and abandoned cars. This was the only path up the mountain. Although there were 20 thousand zombies but only 100 of them could spread out. This meant that everyone’s angle was very focused. Each second, many zombies would have their heads exploded. Of course, most of the bullets hit their bodies. Apart from knocking them back, it wasn’t very effective. A portion flew into the sky. That was unavoidable. After all, although they had the ammo of an entire warehouse, they weren’t so rich that they could train the soldiers.
Two minutes later, after thousands of them died, they were 80 meters from the first defense line.
This distance made many of the survivors uneasy. The ideals placed into their minds were good enough, but Hungry Tiger Cavalry started to want to retreat. Even when Young Master Yun scolded them, they still fled.
Those actions were very dangerous as they might cause a chain reaction, and the first line would collapse.
Young Master Yun’s eyes turned red, and he wanted to kill those few people. But at that moment, the one-star potion wasn’t attractive to those soldiers. Their lives were even more critical. Young Master Yun wasn’t something they cared about either when their lives were at risk.
Peng peng peng!
Gunshots were fired, and Ye Zhongming’s face was cold as those few people fell. He held his gun and looked at Young Master Yun.
“Don’t be cowards. I have never gone against my word. I said we will fight to the death, so I will kill whoever wants to leave!”
Face was essential for people like Young Master Yun. Ye Zhongming’s cold gaze made him embarrassed. Maybe as time passed, these thoughts would change, but at least now he was someone who cared about status. He scolded his men and asked them to continue to fight.
Maybe human’s resistance made the zombies realize the danger. They paid a high price and only pushed 30 meters. Twenty short figures jumped out, their four limbs touched the ground, and they charged at the defense line.
“BE careful, Black Devil Shadow!”
Ye Zhongming drew rough portraits of zombies and passed them to his men. With how good that map artist was, Ye Zhongming just needed to describe the zombie, and he would be able to draw its outline accurately.
So when this level two zombie appeared, Mo Ye immediately reminded everyone.
“Evolved, aim at the Black Devil Shadow!”
Although the evolved didn’t shoot much before, their arms were strong and thus more stable. Moreover, as they evolved, their eyes could keep up with these level-two zombies as fast as spectres.
They started to fire, and several black figures were knocked back. Ye Zhongming, Mo Ye, Little Tiger, and Young Master Yun killed one of them.
Seeing Young Master Yun’s kill, Ye Zhongming was surprised. This kid was trained before.
A few dozen meters was just too close for these Black Devil Shadows. Although many were killed in three seconds, two charged into the defense line. Two soldiers couldn’t react, and their throats were bitten.
Mo Ye charged over, shooting one and slicing the other. The people around helped to stop it. The two Black Devil Shadows that lost their advantage were instantly killed.
But they caused chaos in the defense line, and the horde pushed another ten meters forwards. They were only around 50 meters out now.
Another ten mutated zombies ran over. They were the Iron Arm Zombies Ye Zhongming had met in his school. But ten of them were much more evolved than that one. Its thick arm was a long shield now, giving off a metallic light. They protected their heads and dashed over, helping to block the regular zombies behind them. The bullets hit their mutated arms and gave out a clang, being knocked aside right away.
“Break their legs!” Mo Ye saw that the situation wasn’t good, so she thought of a solution. To aim at their legs. As long as their legs were broken, they would lose their ability to move. It didn’t matter if they couldn’t kill them; more importantly, they would make space such that they would be able to shoot the horde.
Only Ye Zhongming, Mo Ye, and Little Tiger switched to Armor Piercing Bullets and aimed at the heads of these Iron Arm Zombies.
Before these zombies were cleared, many people felt like the ground was shaking. Several three-meter-tall figures appeared behind the horde.
“Ape Zombie!”
A strong level-three Ape Zombie appeared during the Pearl Lake battle. That was 5 meters tall. These four were level two and were just 3 meters tall. But they were already massive to a human that was shorter than 1.9.
These four of them each had two big stones in their hands. They looked at the survivors in the defense line and tossed the rocks over.
Ye Zhongming switched from the rifle to his sniper rifle when he saw them, firing immediately at one of the Ape Zombies.
With the modified gun and armor-piercing bullets, its head exploded, and the stones in its hands dropped. That and its falling body smashed many zombies.
.
But Ye Zhongming could only deal with one of them. The other three still tossed stones over. Ye Zhongming switched his target to one of them, but the other two pieces still fell onto the defense line.
The huge strength smashed the nearby survivors into meat paste. There was even one evolved who was struck by the stone.
The chaos in the team expanded a little.
It wasn’t over yet. Three level two zombies with black spikes around their bodies charged out. They aimed their spikes at the survivors.
Xiu xiu xiu…
Hundreds of black spikes shot out towards the sky, flying towards the defense line like spears.
“Spike Demon!”
Ye Zhongming had a bad feeling. How did the skill familiarity and cooperation of the various mutated zombies become so good?
The spikes landed. Although the survivors tried to dodge, it still caused huge losses.
