Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields-Chapter 341 - 336: Rein’s First Battle

Lin Yi activated his "Combat Reflex" skill and began to think of ways to solve the problem.

But the only thing he could think of was to teleport the pilot away and then throw the helicopter into the lake.

Saving the pilot wasn’t easy.

Both of his legs were pierced through from top to bottom by five spikes, his shoulder was also impaled by a spike, and the side of his body was deeply embedded with spikes.

Lin Yi had to teleport the pilot along with those spikes.

It wasn’t easy to complete the teleport without killing him when the pilot reappeared,

but Lin Yi managed to do it successfully.

The giant dragon, Mira, was also quite shocked, but fortunately unharmed.

At the last moment, Da Chuan generated a magic barrier in front of his petite girlfriend to block the spikes.

However, this consumed a significant amount of his Magic Value.

The furious giant dragon launched a series of fireballs, following the creature as it fell into the pit.

Mira roared, raising her head, charging up electricity in her mouth, and then fired a stream of electricity, transforming it into Chain Lightning.

Dozens of bolts of lightning transferred from one zombie to another zombie.

Some zombies hit by the lightning began to smoke and fell, while others were burned to ashes.

Da Chuan had his girlfriend handle the small fries, while he pursued the giant from the Taru Race.

The enormous golden giant dragon spewed out a mass of flame, but in front of the giant appeared a wall of spider silk, absorbing most of the flame.

This creature scarcely received any damage; it swung a massive stone club at the giant dragon.

Da Chuan managed to generate a magic barrier to block this blow, but quickly found himself entangled in a gigantic web.

Lin Yi realized the dragons were in trouble and teleported both of them behind the walls.

They might not have stopped the giants, but they had already killed many Level 2 and Level 3 mutants.

The Mages were also fighting valiantly.

When all the Fire Mages and Wind Mages could no longer fight, the Water and Thunder Mages took their place.

But lightning and water weren’t more effective than fire against the spider silk, and the combination wasn’t very effective against the mutants either.

The zombies reached the first line of defense and pushed it over without much difficulty.

The cannons continuously bombarded the enemy, but hitting those sturdy creatures from such a distance was not easy because they kept moving.

The hordes of Level 3 and Level 4 zombies that breached the walls faced dense gunfire.

The gunfire was so intense that for every meter the zombie horde advanced, they had to pay with thousands of zombies.

Subsequently, the Archers and Crossbowmen also joined the battle.

Though the Crossbowmen were somewhat lacking in damage output, they made up for it in numbers.

The crossbow arrows they fired rarely killed zombies outright, but they injured them and slowed them down, which was a great help to the defenders.

After a while, a mountain of corpses several hundred meters wide had piled up.

This situation persisted for about twenty minutes until the appearance of Level 3 mutants turned the tide.

Armored monsters of various shapes and sizes, up to twelve meters tall, charged at the walls at incredible speed.

Suddenly, a black arrow flew from behind the soldiers, followed by a second, and then a third.

Every arrow that hit a mutant created a dome of darkness, which quickly vanished, leaving behind ice sculptures.

These arrows were very effective against Level 3 mutants, the fewer mutants within the dome, the lower their survival chances.

Even those that survived would suffer frostbite and experience a host of other issues.

This greatly slowed their pace.

The human soldiers turned around.

In front of them stood a beautiful young woman on a small elevated platform for hunters.

Rein was wearing black hot pants, exposing her stunningly long and well-proportioned legs, with a black T-shirt on top.

She held a silver longbow, her expression serious and focused.

This was her first time to showcase her skills.

She needed to prove to Lin Yi that she deserved to stand by his side.

As these thoughts whirled in her mind.

Lin Yi himself was busy deploying troops, issuing orders, and handling various matters.

Despite the defenders’ best efforts, the zombies broke through the second line of defense and soon advanced all the way to the sixth line of defense.

The Level 3 mutants and the giant effortlessly turned the steel walls into heaps of scrap metal.

The mutants collectively pulled the walls out of the ground, pushed them over, and tossed them aside.

But when they reached the sixth line of defense, already within the Shelter, they were met with a semicircular wall, with knights and infantrymen deployed along the wall.

The knights generated a barrier covering the entire wall, and the infantrymen did their utmost to prevent the undead from breaking through this line of defense.

The AP-4 rifles were quite effective at eliminating Level 3 mutants, but the giant was too powerful for them.

The soldiers could only watch helplessly as its wounds healed before their eyes.

The giant carefully avoided the soldiers wielding Energy Cannons, but they still managed to hit it.

Each time, before the attack hit, it would toss some unfortunate zombie towards the oncoming soldiers.

The Mages were still recovering their Magic Value.

The battle was just too intense.

So the soldiers in the Shelter were. using any weapon they could find.

They even resorted to using old-fashioned Molotov cocktails.

The Shelter had fifty people with the "Thrower" skill, and six of them had reached Skill Level 3.

They could enhance the items they threw.

So the clay pots filled with Burning Mixture had flames twice as powerful as ordinary flames, even causing considerable damage to the giant.

The Earth Mages continuously created pits in front of the city walls, but these pits were almost immediately filled with corpses.

The Throwers focused on these pits, and due to the new experience distribution system, the mages who made the pits also gained some experience points from killing enemies.

The defense was progressing smoothly.

The enemy forces were blocked!

But as soon as the soldiers relaxed their vigilance, a second giant joined the battle.

The spider-like monster fired dozens of webs like cannonballs.

When these balls of web approached the ground, they opened like parachutes, entrapping dozens of soldiers at once.

Rein was about to shoot an arrow when she suddenly found herself moved ten yards back.

At first, she didn’t understand what had happened, but when she saw the webs covering the spot where she had just been standing, she realized.

It was Lin Yi who saved her!

Her heart was pounding.

He was watching over her, caring about her safety...

Lin Yi couldn’t save everyone, so hundreds of soldiers met the same fate as the Golden Giant Dragon.

When a web fell on a person, it would instantly contract into a ball, trapping the person inside.

However, having gained the experience of rescuing Da Chuan, the soldiers knew that these webs were sensitive to cold.

The Dragon Race Grand Mage was free and had returned to battle with his girlfriend.

This time, their target was the spider giant, which was retreating while continuously firing webs.

However, the dragons had learned their lesson and kept flying at a higher altitude,

making it easier to dodge attacks in the air.

Ice pillars and lightning struck the colossal monster.

The giant tried to block the ice pillars with a web, but the pillars easily pierced through, followed by a lightning bolt that froze it in place.

It turned out that Mira’s wind magic was ineffective against this creature’s webbing.

They had thought it would work because spider webs are often blown away by the wind, but luck was not on their side...

Several ice pillars pierced through the giant’s massive body.

It roared, trying to retreat as fast as it could on its eight legs. When the spider reached a pit, it climbed directly over the web and hid beneath it.

Da Chuan fired a volley of ice pillars the size of human heads at the webs, destroying countless zombies running over them and the webs themselves.

However, the lightning-fast spider had already darted to the other side of the pit.

Then it hid on the Moving Island.

Meanwhile, the zombies reached the sixth defense layer and began dismantling it.

A black arrow struck the gigantic Taru Giant, but... it only paled for a moment before continuing its destruction.

Rein, frustrated, transformed her bow into mist, turning herself into black fog and rushed toward the giant.

No matter how hard the giant struggled, it couldn’t break free from the black fog enveloping it.

While it was struggling, the girl reappeared on its shoulder.

Rein generated a black sphere in her hand, shoved it into the monster’s ear, and then leapt off its shoulder before turning back into mist to escape.

But she didn’t realize she had just expended a large amount of magic value.

The girl suddenly materialized in mid-air, started falling, but instead of dying, she returned home, landing on her soft bed.

"That foolish woman!" Lin Yi mumbled, having to spend too much time and effort on Rein.

"They’ve broken through the seventh line of defense..."

While Lin Yi mumbled, the happy girl hugged her pillow, pretending Lin Yi was praising her good work.

And he had saved her... twice!

He even sent her straight back to her bed!

Clearly, he cared about her!

"What’s the situation at the wall, Hubert?" Lin Yi sighed tiredly, asking over the radio.

"Everything is ready, and the mages are mostly recovered. Those monsters aren’t a real threat yet."

"I understand, there are more elites coming later."

"Should we deploy the drones?"

"Good idea." Lin Yi replied, then returned to his defense work.

The seventh line of defense walls had been completely dismantled, and the zombie horde was now advancing toward the main city walls.

The Zombie General may have lost two monsters, but he had achieved his primary goal.

Humanity had retreated to their last line of defense.

Now all he needed to do was concentrate his forces and eliminate the humans.

The mutated creatures and advanced zombies withdrew, as the first-level zombie fodder rejoined the battle.

On the city walls, many members of the Child of the Sun teams and civilian volunteers stood.

The main human forces were resting and recovering their physical strength, so the recovery centers were full.

The intense battle at the wall was even larger in scale than the battle of Brussels.

It seemed like endless streams of zombies were pouring into the shelter, but the 300-meter-wide road largely blocked the zombie onslaught.

The surviving monster tried to build several web bridges, but Da Chuan destroyed them all.

However, he couldn’t capture the creature.

As soon as he crossed the barrier and entered the island, he encountered a flurry of spikes.

The giant dragon could cast spells from high above, but it reduced its accuracy and gave the enemy more time to dodge.

The Zombie General was closely monitoring the dragons, doing his utmost to minimize the damage these two flying creatures could inflict.

Therefore, finally, Lin Yi ordered the dragons to exit the battle, allowing them to recover their magic power.
