Wasteland Commander-Chapter 442 - 133: Sea Monster Sweeps the Field, Ye Fan Picks Low-Hanging Fruit
"Damn it, what are these survivors trying to do?"
"They’re actually trying to block our warships and tanks with their flesh and blood, are they crazy?"
"Sir, there’s no way we can let them succeed. I suggest dropping two aerial bombs into the crowd, and then all opposing voices will be gone."
"I second that. To deal with these idiots who don’t know the height of the heavens, we need to do something drastic!"
The generals of the Dawn Army were speaking one after another. They had no good feelings or compassion for those trying to block their landing.
Ye Fan looked at those demonstrating on the shore, feeling very annoyed as well.
He almost agreed to the bomb proposal, but in the end, it seemed a bit inhumane.
Perhaps, there’s another inhumane way.
Ye Fan turned directly around and asked Yuri, "Is the Fat Corpse King here?"
"Brought it here, sir. I can’t be too far from the Corpse King, or it will become uncontrollable, so it’s currently in the cabin."
"Bring it out, ask if it can control the Sea Monsters. If it can, have it control the Sea Monsters to land, and I want to see if these people protesting against us will protest against the Sea Monsters."
Yuri immediately brought the Fat Corpse King out of the cabin. After inquiry, the Fat Corpse King indicated that it could control some smaller Sea Monsters.
For instance, whales, giant squids, and great white sharks are still beyond its control, but handling a few hundred thousand of other kinds is doable.
A few hundred thousand should definitely be enough, as the resistance force on Crescent Island is already weak.
"Inform the troops to withdraw, just wait on the shore."
Following the order, the Dawn Army’s aircraft returned to the aircraft carrier, the landing forces withdrew back onto the dock landing ships, and those Apocalypse Tanks already visible on the beach reverted as well.
Seeing the Dawn Army retreat, these people erupted in a huge cheer.
In their view, this was their victory, the Dawn Army invaders were retreating under the force of their righteousness.
Even those in power were smiling with their eyebrows wide open, they hadn’t expected Ye Fan to be so kind-hearted. With this, they’d stop any attempt of occupying Crescent Island.
But before they could revel in joy for a while, changes began appearing on the ocean surface.
A large number of Ocean Giant Beasts emerged from the deep sea and swiftly arrived on the beach.
Those still cheering went stupefied.
Everyone knows that the Dawn Army can control a group of large octopuses, but this bunch was not just octopuses, it’s a seafood feast of all sorts.
A large number of Ocean Giant Beasts charged the beach, starting to devour the shocked crowd.
These big fish and crabs, with their gaping jaws, devoured with a speed faster than zombies.
In an instant, thousands became the fodder for the Ocean Giant Beasts at the shore.
These people screamed miserably, quickly collapsing.
They began running inland, but there’s no way their two legs could outpace the Ocean Giant Beasts.
A horrifying scene unfolded on the beach.
Originally scattered by the Dawn Army’s attack, the troops had to pick up arms to start fighting the Ocean Giant Beasts.
Initially, they were worried that the Dawn Army would exploit the situation and seize their base city.
But unexpectedly, the Dawn Army just turned into spectators, watching the Ocean Giant Beasts rampage.
Gradually, the people of Crescent Island felt slightly relieved and started fighting the Ocean Giant Beasts wholeheartedly.
But soon, they experienced the power of the Ocean Giant Beasts.
Back when the Ocean Giant Beasts attacked Dawn Island, Ye Fan had prepared in advance, yet the battle was extremely tough, ultimately relying on self-destruct trucks to turn the tide.
Although these Ocean Giant Beasts weren’t particularly large, they were commanded by the Corpse King.
And with Yuri commanding the Corpse King, using human intelligence, Crescent Island’s efforts fall far short in opposing them.
The Ocean Giant Beasts quickly abandoned chasing the scattered people, heading straight for Yuebei Base City.
Crescent Island currently has only three base cities, all concentrated in the north.
The other two base cities are small, while Yuebei holds seventy percent of Crescent Island’s population.
As for the Southern Region, it hasn’t been recaptured, still teeming with zombies, completely devoid of living humans.
Therefore, Yuebei Base City is the foundation of Crescent Island. Once it falls, Crescent Island would regress decades.
The Crescent Island troops have no retreat, they must fight the Ocean Giant Beasts to the death.
This battle lasted over two hours.
By the afternoon, Crescent Island could no longer hold.
Their losses were huge, with the fierce attacks from the Sea Monsters, their armored and artillery units were virtually wiped out.
Their fighter jets were almost all gone too, with hundreds crashing under the attack of a large flock of sea birds.
With a large swarm of mutated crabs using their gigantic claws to break through Yuebei Base City’s gates, the people here collapsed.
The Ocean Giant Beast entered the city, and it could absolutely devour all the millions of people here.
The rulers of Crescent Island were completely panicked at this time, they boarded planes and were actually ready to flee directly. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
After barely escaping the pursuit of the seabirds, Ye Fan took action.
The destroyer that had long been hovering in nearby waters opened fire, and a missile destroyed the plane carrying the rulers of Crescent Island.
The plane crashed, and the people inside were either killed by the explosion, fell to their deaths, or fed the fish in the sea.
With the death of several main rulers, the people below finally saw the clues.
These sea monsters seem to have some relation to the Dawn Army.
Of course, they didn’t think these sea monsters were related to Ye Fan, but no matter how they looked at it, Ye Fan seemed like the mastermind behind the scenes.
Otherwise, why didn’t the sea monsters attack the nearby Dawn Army but instead chased them?
The people below were somewhat sensible and directly chose to surrender unconditionally to the Dawn Army.
As for those who had protested and resolutely resisted the Dawn Army’s arrival on the island, at this moment, they weren’t stubbornly arguing anymore.
If they didn’t surrender, it wouldn’t work; if they persisted, everyone would end up feeding the fish.
Surrendering to the Dawn Army wouldn’t result in death; at most, it meant following Ye Fan’s orders from now on. But the sea monsters didn’t accept prisoners.
Only a small group of die-hards was still clamoring that they’d rather break than bend, firmly refusing to bow to the Dawn Army, claiming that all these sea monsters were controlled by Ye Fan to force them into surrendering.
But their rhetoric didn’t spread any waves; they were directly killed by their companions nearby.
Those brainless fools, at this time, still speaking recklessly.
If you want to die, do it yourself, don’t drag everyone down.
If you don’t want to go yourself, we’ll send you off.
The Crescent Island survivors, who were unyielding a few hours ago, had now become scattered sand, with no option but to surrender.
Perhaps those at the other two base cities were still trying to resist, but at least here in Yuebei, the consensus had been reached: surrender.
......
"Sir, you see, these wretched ones needed to be dealt with, now they’ve all quieted down."
"Hahaha! If we had known it would turn out like this, why were they so stubborn at first, daring to morally coerce the officer, truly deserved to die."
"Sir, wouldn’t it be better to have bald Yuri... no, have Yuri control the Ocean Giant Beast to kill once, wiping out everyone resisting you?"
Ye Fan waved his hand: "No need, these Crescent Island people have gone through such an unforgettable lesson, they should now understand some truths."
"In this apocalypse, beliefs, disputes, and grievances are all irrelevant; everything must start anew. If you don’t follow the orders of those with the biggest fists, sooner or later, you’ll face a dead end."
Ye Fan didn’t bother to look at these people; today’s lesson, he believed, would shatter their unrealistic fantasies completely.
Director Shen gave Ye Fan a thumbs up: "Sir, you did so well, these people from now on will surely understand, things like human rights and morality have long ceased to be suitable for the apocalypse. Without power, they are only fit to be dogs, and a disobedient dog is bound to be beaten."
Ye Fan laughed heartily: "Don’t say it like that anymore, from today onwards, this is our Yuebei Province."
At this moment, a large number of cargo ships arrived at the shore, and the Dawn Army’s First Field Brigade landed smoothly.
The fortifications painstakingly built by the Crescent Island troops were already leveled by the Ocean Giant Beast, leaving ruins everywhere.
It must be said, the Ocean Giant Beast attack was brilliant; Crescent Island’s military strength was nearly wiped out, with the remaining soldiers fleeing in panic, even abandoning their military identities.
Thus, here in Yuebei, the Dawn Army encountered no resistance anymore; they advanced almost without hindrance.
As for the Dawn Army’s First Field Division, and the Armored Brigade and Artillery Brigade, they swiftly advanced towards the other two base cities after landing.
They aim to utterly defeat all of Crescent Island’s garrisons within two days, then bring the entire island under military control.
As for the various issues left behind from the past, to Ye Fan, these are not problems at all.
Some problems might indeed be troublesome, involving grievances from many years ago, very difficult to resolve.
But Ye Fan doesn’t care about all that; if some matters are too troublesome, he simply doesn’t solve them, and directly deals with the troublemakers instead.
The Military Intelligence Bureau quickly started taking action, beginning to infiltrate across the entire island, preparing to deal with those stubborn individuals.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan led the Guard Corps straight to the center of Yuebei City.
Ye Fan’s target was their hoard of Gold, as well as the bank vault.
The war consumes heavily; in the places the Dawn Army advanced this time, most actually had little to offer.
For instance, the grassland region or Huaihai Base, both were typical poor zones.
Thus, Ye Fan was thinking about the wealth of Crescent Island, as well as the wealth of Jiangnan.
About half an hour later, Ye Fan was satisfied.
This wave from Crescent Island brought him a fortune of three hundred million!
For Ye Fan, who had only a little over forty million left, this was undoubtedly a timely rain.
After all, there were still many countries eyeing Qin Han covetously; with this money in hand, Ye Fan was basically free of worries.
