Wasteland Commander
Chapter 460 - 151: The Greatest Corpse Tide Eruption!
Ye Fan has been incredibly busy lately.
He's been traveling across the country, constantly constructing barracks.
Now that there are more bases, barracks are quickly being set up. Wherever he goes, he immediately deploys the barracks.
Fortunately, his vehicle has been upgraded to a spacecraft, which can take off by directly purchasing energy blocks.
The maximum speed can reach the speed of light, but this isn't necessary; using light speed would instantly propel him out of the atmosphere into outer space.
Flying at ten times the speed of sound allows him to reach any domestic location in a short time, which is extremely convenient.
Barracks are being deployed continuously, accelerating the rapid mobilization of the Dawn Army.
One army consists of 600,000 soldiers, so adding ten armies at once amounts to six million soldiers.
The original army has been reorganized by Ye Fan into a direct army.
The initial direct division has been changed into a heavy division, with five brigades separately integrated into the five divisions of the direct army.
Thus, Ye Fan's forces effectively have eleven armies, totaling 6.6 million people.
Ye Fan initially thought that after deploying this wave of soldiers, he could sweep the world directly, but unexpectedly, problems arose midway.
Just when he had completed half the deployment, a large number of Corpse Kings suddenly appeared across the country.
These Corpse Kings are scattered throughout major cities, each very powerful, at least able to lead a zombie horde of five million.
Some Corpse Kings can even lead hordes of over ten million.
According to intelligence reports, the number of Corpse Kings is over 150!
These Corpse Kings seemed to appear out of nowhere, leading vast zombie hordes to attack the various base cities of the Dawn Army.
In the countryside and wilderness, zombies surged like a tide, sweeping everything.
They advanced across mountains and fields, heading straight for the various base cities of Qin Han.
Base cities quite close to abandoned cities quickly encountered attacks from Corpse Kings.
Currently, there are approximately thirty base cities within Qin Han's territory. Due to a series of measures by Ye Fan, it's now very hard to find survivors out in the wild.
Survivors have been gathered out, with many rescue teams from the Dawn Army being formed, under the guidance of spy satellites, concentrating a large number of survivors to live in base cities.
This makes management easier and reduces the danger for survivors living outdoors.
But unexpectedly, a zombie siege suddenly erupted; once these zombies focus their attack on base cities and succeed, Qin Han's survivors could be completely wiped out.
This scenario is not impossible but rather highly likely.
Over 150 Corpse Kings, thirty base cities — each base city faces an attack from five Corpse Kings.
These Corpse Kings are not only strong but know how to collaborate, arriving from all directions, leading countless advanced zombies, many of whom are even armed.
The technology for arming zombies has been leaked; this time it's a global effort, bringing countless Corpse Kings and military weapons.
Advanced zombies are rapidly armed, forming numerous elite zombie hordes.
Almost every base city faces an attack from around thirty million zombies.
Be aware that ordinary survivors, even general mutants, have little resistance against these elite zombies' attacks nowadays.
Therefore, it's almost certain that this zombie force can eliminate the entire population of Qin Han.
Ye Fan was shocked speechless when he received the news.
Why did so many Corpse Kings suddenly appear and erupt simultaneously?
After watching drone footage, Ye Fan found the answer.
These Corpse Kings include many foreign ones.
Caucasian! African! Brown race!
These Corpse Kings obviously couldn't appear in Qin Han; it's undeniable that foreigners are targeting them.
Thinking about the White Eagle Country people who had reached South Island, Ye Fan understood.
This is a global operation against him.
These Corpse Kings are from all over the world!
He could almost assume that nearly all Corpse Kings worldwide were gathered here.
In an instant, places including Dawn Island, Dawn City, Qi Lu Province, Loose Province, Yuanjing Base, Jiangzhou Base, and all later joined base cities faced an unprecedented crisis.
Ye Fan dared not show any sign of negligence; he began the urgent process of reaching different crisis-level cities.
As for the so-called crisis level, the highest is when attacks have already occurred, the secondary level is when zombies haven't reached yet, and the lowest level is when zombies are still far away.
Depending on the proximity to abandoned cities, different cities face varied situations.
For instance, Dawn City, because it established a safety zone early on, has few surrounding zombies, so it's temporarily safe.
Ye Fan boarded the spacecraft, hurrying to the first base under attack, Yuanjing Base.
Due to its location in the northwest, Yuanjing hadn't established a safety zone previously, so there are many surrounding zombies.
There are six Corpse Kings here, quickly assembling over thirty million zombies from surrounding counties and cities, advancing fiercely towards Yuanjing.
When Ye Fan received the news, Su Qiao had already informed him that Yuanjing was engaged in a bitter battle.
These zombies came very quickly, almost racing all the way without any rest, directly engaging in battle.
This situation stunned the defending forces in Yuanjing City, most of whom were still Su Qiao's former subordinates, as the Dawn Army hadn't fully taken over here.
First, the distance was too far. Second, Ye Fan also considered Su Qiao's feelings, so he did not directly take over, planning to do so last.
But precisely because of this, Yuanjing's situation was extremely dangerous.
Although Su Qiao's troops were considered elite, they could not possibly compare to the Three-star Soldiers of the Dawn Army.
So when under attack, one side of the city wall was immediately breached.
A large group of Tyrannosaurus Zombies forcefully climbed the city wall, swinging hot weapons or cold weapons and wreaking havoc on the wall.
The defenders could not resist these Level 3 Zombies at all, and tens of thousands of soldiers were quickly slaughtered. By the time Ye Fan arrived, the zombies had already started entering the city.
On the city wall, a massive number of zombies howled as they jumped downwards, and some zombies had begun entering the city area, chasing survivors.
To hinder the advancing steps of these zombies, Su Qiao commanded people to start setting up defensive lines and even actively set fires to isolate the zombies' steps.
When Ye Fan arrived, he could see from the sky that thick black smoke was rising from Yuanjing, and zombies were attacking from all directions. The sound of gunfire and the wailing of humans dying were audible from afar.
If this continues, in at most one hour, this city might become a dead city.
Those zombies outside the city walls were manageable, but the most dangerous were the zombies that had already entered the city.
The city walls had fallen, and the number of zombies entering the city had exceeded a hundred thousand, and they were still rushing inward at a rate of several hundred per second.
Many fast-running zombies had already entered the crowd, beginning a bloody massacre.
Humans and zombies mixed together, making the situation very difficult to manage.
Ye Fan arrived, and the spaceship quickly landed in front of the palace.
Su Qiao ran out from the palace, her eyes already red.
"Ye Fan! What do we do now? The zombies have entered the city."
Faced with such a catastrophe, Su Qiao couldn't remain calm. She could run, but she didn't; she still wanted to save this city.
Ye Fan held her hand and spoke calmly: "Now I need to deploy our weather weapon, but this attack must cover the area where the zombies have already entered the city."
"But... wouldn't that also cover the people in that area of the city?"
"There's no other way, I'm very sorry…."
Tears fell from Su Qiao's eyes: "Then can you give me a little time to evacuate the people there?"
Ye Fan directly grabbed her: "There's no time, we have to make a clean break, or we'll suffer even greater harm."
"But... there are hundreds of thousands of people living there."
"I'll take all the consequences!"
Ye Fan didn't continue to be verbose; in such a moment, any hesitancy would be a crime.
Fortunately, Su Qiao was sensible and knew that at such a time, she couldn't continue to intervene and could only watch the sky with tears.
Ye Fan didn't pause at all; he now had six Weather Control Devices, all of which were fully charged and ready to unleash lightning storms at any moment.
He chose one and launched it towards the area where the zombies had invaded the city.
In an instant, the sky was shrouded with dark clouds, thunder roared.
Countless dark clouds gathered within two minutes, and bolts of lightning began to fall.
The area of the city invaded by zombies was immediately covered by the violent lightning.
A Super Weapon is a Super Weapon; even armed Level 3 Zombies couldn't withstand such violent lightning. After all, no matter how strong their defense, their bodies were conductive, and they were still carbon-based life forms.
Countless zombies were killed, but at the same time, humans were also being slain.
Hundreds of thousands of people, whether infected or not, at this moment, became the zombies' companions in death.
They tried to say something, tried to curse something, but they had no chance.
With the descent of the lightning, everything was reduced to ashes.
Watching this area engulfed in lightning for half an hour, nothing living could survive, Ye Fan turned his attention to other areas.
On the other sides of the city, the walls continued to endure intense zombie attacks. Ye Fan glanced at the communications officer.
The communications officer immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and quickly coordinated the situation.
"Sir! Air reinforcements are about to arrive, please give your instructions!"
"Prepare small Mushroom Bombs, bomb the ground for me, mind the distance, don't let it affect the soldiers and survivors in the city."
"Understood!"
Soon, bombers and fighter jets from the Dawn Army, stationed in the nearby airbase, had arrived.
These planes dropped small Mushroom Bombs from high altitudes, guided precisely by countless missiles to hit the ground.
Mushroom clouds blossomed almost everywhere in Yuanjing Base.
There were too many zombies, and they were too widely distributed; relying on just the lightning storm and Mushroom Bombs couldn't completely solve the problem, as Ye Fan still had many places to save.
Fortunately, he quickly established base vehicles and barracks within the city, and the Dawn Army began rapid troop deployment!
In this base city, Ye Fan deployed three divisions of 360,000 troops, believing this would solve the problem!
After all, today's field divisions are not what they used to be, with both heavy armored units and air forces present.
He even opened up acquisition permissions for small nuclear bombs to the rank of division commanders.
At critical moments in battle, they could make autonomous decisions.
So after the crisis was mitigated, Ye Fan immediately bid farewell to Su Qiao and headed to the next base city!
