If Ye Zhongming had time, this stone gate would be far more effective than this. When Cloud Peak’s outer wall was built, the defensive ability that this stone gate would have would be shocking.
But to be able to lead a bunch of inexperienced men at the start of the apocalypse to fend off this wave, Ye Zhongmming had no choice but to use this gate.
Did you need suicide squads in a life-and-death battle against zombies?
Right, you did. But everyone was a suicide squad member. When forced, you had no choice but to suicide. But why did he have to create such a squad? They were just bait.
But Ye Zhongming didn’t want to sacrifice the bait, so he placed his best brother Shengyuan there.
Although there would still be deaths.
But they did what they needed to do and attracted the zombies over successfully.
This was the biggest gain that they had gotten since the battle started. A dense amount of level two zombies were squashed below the stone gate. These zombies were all nimble and quick. When facing such a heavy stone gate, they could not defend themselves. Even if some tried to dodge, many still ended up as meat paste.
After the dust settled, smelly blood flowed from the gaps and covered the path.
“Wa!”
A black shadow jumped out from the horde and sat on the shoulder of the Ape Zombie. Its two tentacles were spinning in the air. It bared its fangs and gave out a weird voice to the survivors. Everyone could hear the rage inside it.
The level four Throat Locker appeared after his troops suffered massive casualties.
“Wa!”
Throat Locker roared once more. Its small body contained huge energy that could be seen from that roar.
If the Beast Tamer’s Frenzied Roar increased the movement speed and strength of the horde, this Throat Locker’s roar was the order to attack. It caused the entire horde to go berserk.
The zombies instantly spread over the main entrance.
The casualties started to increase.
Before this, they had to dodge their attacks, so although the survivors would kill many zombies, the outcome was limited. At this time, everyone was facing the horde straight up, and their guns were hitting the zombies up close. Heads would explode like watermelon. Instantly, the zombies at the front fell.
Some level-two zombies were killed too. They had no choice or room to dodge, and compared to regular zombies, they were slightly stronger.
But before the level two zombies died, they also dealt huge losses to humans. Their talent, skills, and even strong parts of their bodies killed the survivors.
“Evolved in front, the others retreat to the main building! Find an angle and aim at the back of the horde!” Xia Lei and Lu Yi shouted. Their voice was a little horse. Ordinary people weren’t helpful in such a close-up battle. They needed the distance to show the benefits of guns. Guns were far more effective than their bodies.
Before the battle started, they all thought about fleeing, whether Hungry Tiger Cavlary or Cloud Peak. This was unavoidable. But at such a moment, everyone knew they had no way out. Either they killed all the zombies, or they got wiped out.
So no one would flee. Even if they wanted to run, they had to resist the fear and continue to fight. This feeling only lasted briefly before they got infected by the intense battle and splattering of blood. That ignited the courage and rage buried deep in their hearts.
Ye Zhongming couldn’t give each member a Moon Edge, at least not now. But he strengthened their weapons, allowing each to hold a grey weapon. Such a weapon dealt massive damage to level-two zombies.
Like that, many evolved lined up with their allies for the first time, battling to the death with the high-level zombies they feared.
During peacetime, some people would crave battle, but after the war, everyone would tell you that war was a demon and terrifying.
If you didn’t go through it personally, you either ignored such words or would feel like it was a reason to mock the weak.
But the war was terrifying. Humans felt things important during peacetime were as brittle as paper in front of battle.
Many evolved cried as they fought. Some without strong mentals went mad. They would suddenly put down their weapons to cry or charge into the horde, and then… Die.
The potions improved their bodies, but they didn’t improve their minds.
Under the considerable pressure and threat of death, their minds collapsed. If this were a war against humans, Cloud Peak would have lost.
But this was one between humans and zombies. There was no surrender. It was either life or death.
The human defense line could fend off the zombie horde of high-level zombies.
Life was being lost at every moment.
Many times, it was a trade.
Ye Zhongming was killing so much that he didn’t know where he was. Now, he couldn’t care about others. He knew that they might die. Usually, he could take care of them, but he had to rely on them now. Each battle was a bloody training for all of them. If they couldn’t survive, then they would return to dust. If they survived, they would become a good warrior in the apocalypse.
Ye Zhongming held Moon Edge in his right and a gun in his left. Any zombie that dared to block him would be mercilessly killed. He had one main job and two secondary jobs. Apart from level three zombies, the others were easy kills.
He had Fountain of Stamina and Star Absorbing Satan, which made him a human-sized machine that didn’t know what exhaustion was. Everywhere he passed, zombie bones would be left on the ground.
His target was the Beast Tamer and the Throat Locker behind it.
As the leader of Cloud Peak and the strongest person here, he was responsible for dealing with the high-level zombie.
Strictly speaking, he would benefit the most if the base was built. Every survivor here was fighting for him. So when they faced dangers, he had to be at the front.
This was a responsibility, the responsibility of a man. During peacetime, this responsibility was more about feeding the family. During the apocalypse, this responsibility became protecting the base and killing others.
The Beast Tamer could be seen ahead. It tossed the body of an evolved to its dogs, and all of them opened their mouths to chew its intestines. Their gazes then locked toward Ye Zhongming.
Both sides knew that the battle to the death was here.
