On this day, under Delgado’s command, the joint military forces divided into three routes and simultaneously launched attacks on three major bridges. Unlike previous scattered troops, the joint military was able to mobilize a wide range of heavy weapons, including rocket launchers, mortars, self-propelled artillery, and other weapon systems.

With the support of powerful firepower, the survivors finally regained control of the three bridges. However, during this process, some survivors sacrificed their lives. It was a very unfortunate event.

Regaining control of the three bridges was a significant victory for the joint military since its establishment, giving almost everyone a morale boost. It made everyone see hope once again.

However, Delgado’s mood was not as relaxed as everyone else’s. He stood in a high position and saw more than others. Therefore, he understood very well that this small victory was not much in the grand scheme of things.

Soon, they might face even more challenging times. He instructed everyone not to be proud, not to relax too much, and to be prepared for combat at any time because tougher challenges lay ahead.

Upon hearing Delgado’s words, his subordinates nodded. However, judging by their expressions, it seemed like they didn’t care much.

At this moment, everyone had placed their hopes on Waldo. After all, Waldo had personally stated that he had the confidence to deal with the zombie lord.

With Waldo around, was there anything to worry about?

Seeing their attitude, Delgado had already figured out their thoughts. He was suddenly filled with anger, and his face turned red. Delgado sternly said, "Things are not as simple as you imagine. You must put away your dismissive attitude, or don’t blame me for not being polite!"

Witnessing this, his subordinates were suddenly taken aback. When had they ever seen Delgado get angry?

At this moment, he was truly taken aback by Delgado’s performance. So, he nodded repeatedly, no longer dismissing it, and conveyed it to all the survivors.

Soon, everyone received Delgado’s warning. Although more people than expected didn’t take it seriously, the words had the intended effect, making many people more cautious and alert.

As expected, Delgado’s words came true shortly after. The Ocean View Bridge, which was over seven hundred meters long, was one of the three bridges connecting the West and East districts of the city.

At this moment, over a thousand survivors were stationed here, serving as the first line of defense against the zombies. Because zombies kept pouring in from the West district at all times, they had to fight day and night.

After a day of battle, the bridge was covered with zombie corpses. Dark, foul-smelling blood flowed, and the stench was particularly strong. In addition to that, more zombie bodies fell from the bridge and were washed away by the swift river.

"We just need to hold on for one or two more days. When Waldo deals with the zombie lord, the situation in the West district will naturally be resolved!" said Binder.

As one of the top 100 survivors, he had enough strength to lead a group of survivors. At this moment, like many others, he was eagerly anticipating Waldo reaching level sixty and putting an end to this disaster.

But before that happened, they had to hold the line against the zombie attacks constantly. Fortunately, so far, the number of attacking zombies wasn’t too overwhelming. There was a zombie assault about every half an hour, with approximately three thousand zombies in each wave.

This number of zombies was still within the capabilities of the survivors because they had the most powerful firearms and strong physical abilities, making them more than capable of dealing with the zombies.

But suddenly,

Boom, boom, boom!

In the distance, there came a nearly earth-shattering sound of footsteps.

What’s going on?

Binder’s face immediately turned pale.

Upon hearing this sound, his heart began to race because he had experienced it firsthand. It was the sound of Waldo hunting down a horde of tens of thousands of zombies.

Back then, it was a horde of tens of thousands! Did this mean that there were tens of thousands of zombies coming towards them now?

Binder quickly looked in the direction of the sound. Sure enough, there were hordes of zombies in the distance. It was definitely more than just a few thousand, at least over twenty thousand zombies!

In an instant, Binder’s face changed drastically, and a hint of paleness crept in. However, he didn’t panic. Instead, he shouted loudly, "Quick, quick, quick! Requesting backup! Everyone, stand your ground and prepare for battle! Artillery positions? We need artillery support! What? The other two bridges have also requested backup?!"

Almost simultaneously, the three bridges connecting the West and East districts of the city were facing an unprecedented crisis. Tens of thousands of zombie hordes were attacking these three bridges. Artillery support for the positions became extremely difficult. There was no doubt that this would be an extremely challenging battle.

Fortunately, Delgado had made preparations in advance and quickly mobilized reinforcements to reach the three bridges. Additionally, there was other artillery support, which temporarily eased the situation on the three bridges. However, it was only a temporary relief.

Some survivors were shocked to discover that on the other end of the bridge, the number of zombies was increasing steadily. It seemed like they were waiting for an opportunity to break through the survivors’ defenses. This was destined to be an extremely arduous battle, and the process might be very lengthy!

Meanwhile,

Waldo finally adjusted his state and began to level up.

From level 50 to 51, he needed 15,600 experience points.

From level 51 to 52, he needed 16,200 experience points.

From level 52 to 53, he needed 16,800 experience points.

From level 59 to 60, he needed 21,000 experience points.

A total of 183,000 experience points were required.

And he had already accumulated over two hundred thousand experience points, more than enough!

In addition, he had also accumulated over a hundred evolution points, which could be used to enhance an ability. Let’s begin the upgrade! Waldo thought to himself.

Suddenly, as he focused his thoughts, the energy within his body surged and roared like a tidal wave.

Boom!

Electric flashes and thunder rumbled within him. The energy was tumultuous.

"Congratulations to survivor Waldo for leveling up to fifty-one, keep up the good work!

Congratulations to survivor Waldo for leveling up to fifty-two, keep up the good work!

Congratulations to survivor Waldo for leveling up to fifty-seven, keep up the good work!

Congratulations to survivor Waldo for leveling up to sixty, keep up the good work!"

At a certain moment, the surging energy within Waldo reached its peak. Then, it suddenly dissipated, dispersing like clouds. Meanwhile, the system announced:

Congratulations to survivor Waldo for being the first to reach level sixty! Become the first level sixty!
