The sudden upheaval in Zhonghai caught Ye Fan off guard.

Millions of zombies stood on countless sea monsters, beginning to cross the Celestial River and charge towards Dawn Island.

This time, the scale of the zombies was incredibly large, combined with the sea monsters, totaling over thirty million.

Moreover, the zombie horde was backed by Zhonghai, with continuous supply from behind.

Upon hearing the news, Ye Fan quickly returned and started organizing the Dawn Army for battle.

Ye Fan constructed numerous barracks on Dawn Island, aiming to deploy three armies worth of troops here.

Within the towering barracks, Dawn Army soldiers were rapidly dispatched.

With so many barracks built, the deployment speed reached over 200 people per second.

Squads quickly formed, taking just seconds to form a battalion, and within less than a minute, a regiment was deployed.

Additionally, large numbers of Tank Factories manufactured the expensive Apocalypse Tanks, forming a continuous steel torrent to accelerate the troops.

A large number of rocket launcher trucks, the main force in group battles, were also deployed.

In the hangars at the airport, planes were continuously produced, making use of Ye Fan's rich financial reserves at this moment.

Battleships appeared continuously in the docks; he began deploying inexpensive battleships now. These vessels could fight along the riverbanks and seas, with a formidable power.

Moreover, these battleships could be upgraded in the future. Engineers at the aerospace weapons research institute informed him that these battleships could be upgraded to interstellar battleships.

Thus, Ye Fan started constructing manically, and in no time, hundreds of battleships were manufactured and sent to the front lines.

The Engineer troops continuously transported weapons and ammunition: crates of bullets, cannon shells, and even small Mushroom Bombs were produced and loaded into various vehicles.

After upgrading to Commander, Ye Fan unlocked a function for basic infrastructure authorization.

He could authorize Engineers to construct basic facilities, like city walls, watchtowers, Light Prism Towers, and Giant Cannons for defense.

Teams of Engineers rode all-terrain Lynx vehicles or sidecar motorcycles, constantly building city walls along the riverside to resist the impending horde.

With numerous hands, sections of walls continuously rose, forming layers of defense.

As soon as a line of defense was completed, soldiers immediately entered to organize defense on the spot.

Upon creation, the rocket launcher was directly deployed into battle.

Cannon shells were launched continuously, attacking the zombie horde still crossing the river in the distance.

The zombie side was also not to be underestimated; large flocks of seagulls, sea swallows, and other sea birds soared towards Dawn Island in overwhelming numbers.

Several defense lines of the Dawn Army came into play, with countless anti-air machine guns, Flamethrower Warriors, and even Light Prism Towers firing back.

Sea birds crashed down one after another, creating layers of corpses on the ground, yet they continued their relentless advance.

Seeing the dense, innumerable zombies and Mutated Birds, Ye Fan desperately wanted to drop a nuclear weapon with maximal power to annihilate these creatures.

However, he couldn't do that. A nuclear weapon with too much power was a double-edged sword, also affecting Dawn Island.

Hence, he could only unleash a lightning storm midway across the river.

This was his last lightning storm; the buffering time was three days, with the fastest lightning storm forming only two days later.

The deployment of this lightning storm was immediate in effect, wiping out two to three million zombies within the kill zone, buying time for the Dawn Army's defense organization.

However, it was insufficient to alter the overall battlefield situation; the zombies were too numerous, one lightning storm was far from enough.

Fortunately, the conventional weapons of the Dawn Army were growing increasingly fierce, with the number of rocket launcher trucks rising to two or three thousand, transforming the entire Celestial River into a sea of fire.

Many sea monsters advancing with the zombies were directly blasted to death in the Great River, even dyeing the river water dark red.

Every second, hundreds to thousands of zombies and Mutant Beasts perished; if it were human troops facing such saturation attacks, they'd have collapsed long ago.

But the zombies didn't, with Mutant Beasts under the Corpse King's command fearlessly charging towards Dawn Island.

Upon nearing Dawn Island, the battleships entered the fray.

These warships powered forward, firing fiercely on the zombie horde while advancing rapidly, denying the sea monsters any chance of boarding.

On the shore, the tank troops formed the first steel defense line; once zombies or sea monsters approached, the dual-barreled cannons on the tanks decisively fired, eliminating any monsters attempting to land.

The relentless slaughter began from the first minute, pushing the battle into a white-hot stage from the start.

The sea monsters and zombies were not pushovers either; massive sea monsters and Advanced Zombies weren't easy to kill, advancing under the cover of Mutated Birds like speedboats.

If not intercepted, they could cross the Celestial River in two minutes.

Even if intercepted and hit, it may not kill them.

Some Advanced Zombies even adapted to underwater, able to swim across or dive through.

Continuously, zombies breached the Dawn Army's river defense line, reaching the island.

They didn't entangle with the tanks onshore but charged straight towards the walls.

This was not a strategy conceived by zombie minds, but rather the Corpse King's command.

The Corpse King remained across the river, directing, with no clear location to be found.

The Dawn Army on the wall commenced counterattack, killing the horde attempting to penetrate inland.

More and more zombies are breaking through the defense lines, and the battle is becoming fiercely intense.

Ye Fan is under considerable pressure; the scale of the zombie invasion this time is unprecedented. According to the spy satellite, the total number of zombies, mutated birds, beasts, and sea monsters is probably around fifty million.

Every kind of creature is troublesome, even mutant rats have become a plague. These little things emerge from underwater, virtually omnipresent, forcing the Dawn Army to expend great effort in exterminating them.

Ye Fan stands inside the command post, continually watching the electronic screen to observe the details of the battle.

He doesn't feel overly panicked; abundant funds give him substantial confidence. If it's just like this, he believes he can achieve victory in the end.

Of course, he would have to pay a great price, but Ye Fan doesn't fear losses.

This could potentially be the final battle, and whatever is lost afterward can be recouped.

"Sir, there's new intelligence."

The communicator's words give Ye Fan a slight uneasy feeling.

"Speak."

"In the direction of South Island, led by White Eagle Country's forces, troops are crossing the strait, advancing on our Lingnan Base, with a total strength of 2.7 million troops!"

"In the direction of the plateau, led by Curry Country's forces, they have crossed the border, aiming to advance inland, with a total of 4.5 million troops!"

"In the border direction, multi-national forces from the Western continent are advancing towards Yuanjing, with a total strength of 3 million troops!"

"The enemy has deployed all their advanced weaponry, essentially matching the pre-apocalyptic strength. White Eagle Country has deployed five super aircraft carrier battle groups, and the Western continent's forces are exceedingly strong, with over five thousand fighter jets. Sir, please make a decision early!"

Hearing this, Ye Fan takes a deep breath.

These people really know how to take advantage of a crisis; their timing is impeccable.

Right now, Qin Han is facing widespread zombie attacks, and they choose this moment to launch an invasion, intending to alter the fate with one decisive battle.

If he cannot withstand this wave, the future situation will become extremely difficult.

Of these three routes, the White Eagle Country's naval forces are the strongest, with five super aircraft carrier battle groups almost matching his naval strength.

Curry Country has the largest number of troops, assembling an army of over four million. Even though their combat effectiveness may not be high, their sheer number poses significant threat.

The Western continent's army and air force are both formidable, and if he doesn't timely intervene, Yuanjing will be in danger.

Fortunately, he promptly dealt with the enemies in the northeast and southeast directions, otherwise things would be even more troublesome now.

"Notify the naval fleet to head to South Island and delay White Eagle Country's landing time as much as possible."

"Deploy forces near the plateau to hinder Curry Country's advance."

"I will personally go to the northwest direction to handle the Western continent's forces."

Ye Fan quickly makes his deployments; as for Dawn Island, he cannot manage it at the moment.

There are nearly four armies stationed on Dawn Island, and Ye Fan believes it won't face immediate danger.

So he decides to postpone dealing with matters there and prioritizes dealing with the forces threatening Yuanjing.

He calls Chief of Staff Zhongjing over and entrusts him with many responsibilities.

Zhongjing's combat experience is also quite rich, but he often hesitates to make decisions, not due to lack of experience, but due to the burden of responsibility.

For instance, the lightning storm Ye Fan unleashed in Yuanjing City, such matters, no one can make the decision for him.

Ye Fan tells Zhongjing that at critical moments, there's no need to be constrained by methods. If zombies land en masse, even if small mushroom bombs have to fall like rain, they must be launched.

No need to worry about collateral damage; defending Dawn Island equals victory.

Zhongjing resolutely agrees.

"Rest assured, sir! If the zombies want to land en masse, they'll have to step over my corpse first!"

Ye Fan pats his shoulder, turns around, and leaves.

No matter his concerns, he has too many responsibilities right now.

Keep holding on, persist through these days, and everything will be settled.

Either Ye Fan is defeated, and White Eagle Country along with the western world triumphs.

Or the Dawn Army wins decisively, reshaping world order.

Ye Fan needs time; once the aerospace weapon is successfully upgraded in a few days, he'll have no equals on this planet.

So these few days, roughly within a week, are the most crucial times.

He boards the aircraft once more, heading towards Yuanjing.

As his aircraft sweeps through the sky, on the wilderness below, two slender figures stand watching Ye Fan's aircraft depart.

One girl opens her mouth to speak.

"Sister... Ye Fan has left, what shall we do next?"

The other girl glances at her and responds composedly: "The critical moment has arrived, we will go to Zhonghai!"

The previously delicate girl's expression changes immediately; heading to Zhonghai at this time is tantamount to courting death!
