Wasteland Commander-Chapter 371 - 62: Blade Flash Amid the Corpse Horde!

Chapter 371: Chapter 62: Blade Flash Amid the Corpse Horde!

Loose Province.

After observing the situation in Jiangzhou, Ye Fan’s heart was heavy.

Based on his experience, Jiangzhou was unlikely to withstand the night.

It wasn’t that Jiangzhou wasn’t strong, but the current strength of the zombie horde exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Judging by Jiangzhou’s situation, Ye Fan thought that if he didn’t have the mushroom bombs, even the Dawn Army wouldn’t be able to hold out against the horde.

Of course, Ye Fan’s situation was unique; as long as he had money, he could keep the support going.

Once there was no money, even the mighty Dawn Army would falter.

Jiangzhou was in extreme danger this time, especially since a hundred thousand troops had been wiped out, and the remaining 170,000 troops were outside, unable to return, putting the city on the brink of disaster.

So he decided not to wait any longer and immediately mobilized troops to attack Daqiang Base City!

Currently, the Dawn Army had mustered two field brigades, two field regiments, a tank force with nearly a thousand vehicles, over a thousand various types of artillery, over a hundred aircraft, one armored train, and countless drone units, all beginning the assault on Daqiang Base City.

Daqiang Base City had a total military force far exceeding that of the Dawn Army, with over a hundred thousand troops gathered there, more than double that of the Dawn Army.

But it was all in vain; under the interference of the Dawn Army’s radar warning systems and electronic warfare units, their planes, tanks, and radar were rendered blind and deaf.

In the surrounding areas, only Jiangzhou’s electronic units could rival the Dawn Army, but encountered with the zombie horde, their jamming capabilities were rendered useless.

Outside of Jiangzhou, other places hadn’t developed to such an extent and were completely suppressed by the Dawn Army.

The people of Daqiang Base City faced the imposing Dawn Army and chose to actively come out of the city to meet them in battle.

This was the plight of the base city; facing an enemy with long-range firepower, remaining passive wasn’t an option, or the losses would be even greater.

But venturing out for battle immediately fell into the strong suits of the Dawn Army.

A mixed battle of aircraft and tanks was waged for a full six hours.

The armored and air force units of the Dawn Army, with the support of carrier-based aircraft, electronic warfare units, and drones, completely annihilated the air force and tank units of Daqiang Base City.

In this battle, over two hundred air force fighters from Daqiang Base City were destroyed, over 800 tanks, and 1,300 armored vehicles were destroyed.

With the loss of these mobile forces, the combat enthusiasm of Daqiang Base City was completely extinguished.

The remaining ground forces shrank back to their positions, and when the main force of the Dawn Army arrived, internal conflict ensued.

Agents from the Dawn Army’s Military Intelligence Bureau spread chaos, attacked garrisons, and started fires in the city, leaving the defending forces weary from handling it all.

The Dawn Army’s transport planes dropped a large number of leaflets, demanding the high command of Daqiang Base City to surrender unconditionally.

As a result, the internal personnel of Daqiang Base City divided into two factions; a small number of stubborn individuals wanted to hold out to the end, while the majority decided to surrender to the Dawn Army.

With the support of the Dawn Army’s agents, the side choosing to surrender gained the upper hand; they surrounded the stubborn warmongers, resulting in a fierce gunfight.

In the end, a small number of warmongers managed to escape by plane, while the rest took control of the entire Daqiang Base City and finally raised the white flag of surrender.

After approximately ten hours of fighting, Daqiang Base City, without reinforcements, ultimately opened its gates and chose to surrender to the Dawn Army at the city’s doorstep.

The Dawn Army marched into the city, seizing control of Daqiang Base City’s city hall, bank, airport, military camps, power plant, and other key departments, claiming this base city with nearly five million people.

Thus, the campaign to recapture Loose Province by Ye Fan finally came to a close; this populous province with nearly thirty million people even after the apocalypse was incorporated under Ye Fan’s command.

Together with the Divine Dragon Province, Dawn Island, and areas like Golden City under Ye Fan’s partial control, an emerging territorial chain in the Eastern Qin Han region was starting to take shape.

The timing to issue Light Yuan was becoming ripe; as long as Ye Fan could stabilize the situation within his territories, this endeavor could commence.

However, even during the intense battle at Daqiang Base City, Ye Fan’s focus was still on the situation at Jiangzhou Base City.

At this moment, he sighed inwardly, if Jiangzhou fell, 15 million people would become a feast for the zombies, undoubtedly a huge blow to an already significantly reduced population in the apocalypse.

But there was nothing he could do, the situation in Jiangzhou had erupted so suddenly that there was simply no time for evacuation.

At this point, his only hope was that Hua Wushuang could survive this catastrophe.

At that time, Ye Fan hadn’t anticipated that the defense of Jiangzhou would undergo an unexpected change.

.......

Hua Wushuang leapt from the city wall and almost jumped straight into hell.

Beneath her lay a heap of soft corpses, piled up seven or eight meters high.

Stepping on them was slightly soft and a bit hot, a result of repeated scorching by flames.

All around her was the stench of zombies, nearly all Mutated Zombies, without any ordinary ones in sight.

Hua Wushuang jumped in, her petite form nearly engulfed by the horde.

She landed right in front of an Armored Zombie.

The Armored Zombie was waving its arms towards the city wall, but stopped when it saw Hua Wushuang in front of it.

It hesitated, twitching its nose in confusion.

Was the figure covered in black blood before it a kindred spirit?

The Armored Zombie wasn’t quite sure; instinctively, it wanted to get closer for a smell.

Ching~~~!

The sharp sound of a sword being drawn rang out, and a flash of blade glimmered by, halting the Armored Zombie’s movement.

Hua Wushuang’s figure swiftly rushed down the heap of bodies, pushing through the horde and heading straight into its depths.

She ran a full hundred meters before the Armored Zombie’s head finally fell off, and its hulking body collapsed with a crash, becoming fodder for the corpse heap.

Zombies were everywhere around, and her body often had no choice but to collide with the zombie herd.

Whenever a zombie sensed something was amiss and stopped, Hua Wushuang would immediately slash with her knife.

With one slash, the zombie would die.

Running like this, occasionally slashing, Hua Wushuang charged deep into the zombie herd.

A tall tyrannosaurus ahead sensed her and bent its head closer.

This tyrannosaurus had its head encased in a car shell, preventing her from slashing it to death.

Hua Wushuang could only quicken her pace, pushing the speed of a Level 3 Mutant to the extreme, her body leaving afterimages as she swiftly passed by the tyrannosaurus.

Roar~~~!

The tyrannosaurus sensed something was wrong, turned back, and swung a large tree it held towards Hua Wushuang.

But it was too late; Hua Wushuang had already vanished into the zombie herd. Its trunk had only crushed an Armored Zombie and two Mutant Rats, missing even the tiniest corner of Hua Wushuang’s clothing.

When it looked again, Hua Wushuang had already lost her trace.

Without its target, the Tyrannosaurus Zombie resumed its contribution to the siege battle.

Thus, Hua Wushuang ran for dozens of kilometers with thrilling fortune.

She wore infrared night vision goggles above her eyes, her target very clear.

Ahead, a massive group of Advanced Zombies settled, and if this zombie herd had a Corpse King, it was likely there.

Hua Wushuang dared not stop; once halted and discovered, she would be immediately torn apart despite being a Level 3 Mutant, with no chance to mutate into a zombie.

Holding her breath in her chest, she approached the vicinity of this advanced zombie group.

Looking up, tall Advanced Zombies akin to monsters were stationed here, along with many High-Level Mutant Beasts, all motionless, awaiting the Corpse King’s command.

"This is the place."

Hua Wushuang tightly pursed her lips, not daring to speak, not daring to breathe through her mouth, because once she opened her mouth, the zombie blood on her face would flow into her mouth.

Taking advantage of the zombie blood on her body not drying yet, she rushed headlong into almost the world’s most terrifying place.

.......

Wang Huining retreated back into the zombie herd.

Because the wave fighting ahead was all zombies controlled by Old Tan.

These zombie herds were not under his control; he was useless at the front.

Xiaoxue was beside him, and Old Tan was not far ahead of him. The abilities of these two Corpse Kings were much stronger than his, even separated from the city wall ten kilometers away, they could calmly control the zombies to attack.

With a large cigar in his mouth, Wang Huining stood at the back watching the battle.

Smoking wasn’t the purpose; he couldn’t feel the taste of the cigarette anymore, doing so was similar to Xiaoxue putting on makeup, a psychological routine.

An amateur hobby, a subconscious behavior still treating itself as human.

Taking a heavy puff, he blew out a smoke ring.

"Xiaoxue, it seems that the good deed of breaking through Jiangzhou City’s defense, you and I might not catch. If not Xiaobu breaking Jiangzhou first, then it will be Old Tan. Who do you think it will be?"

Such a complicated issue gave Xiaoxue some trouble to think.

She opened her mouth, finally said: "Xiaobu."

"Heh heh! Now Old Tan is fighting alongside us. Take a look at his big bald head, swaying back and forth with such effort. You underestimate him like this, he might feel hurt."

This time Xiaoxue answered rather straightforwardly: "He won’t feel hurt."

Wang Huining took another puff of his cigarette, "Then let’s see, I think Old Tan might surprise us."

At this moment, Old Tan was about a hundred meters away from Wang Huining and Xiaoxue.

In between was a piece of open space, and no zombies were allowed to approach, lest they interrupt Wang Huining’s view.

He continuously puffed on cigarettes of unknown taste, observing everything happening before him with a relatively detached mindset.

At that moment, a sudden mutation occurred!

A petite figure, appearing from nowhere, unexpectedly stood before Old Tan.

Clang~~~! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

A bright knife flash appeared in the dark night.

Then a shocking scene happened to Wang Huining!

Old Tan’s massive head directly flew into the sky!

A surge of thick black blood gushed from the neck, and Old Tan’s body fell heavily to the ground!

A Corpse King controlling over two million zombie herds was astonishingly slain amidst the zombies on the spot!

Wang Huining didn’t know who he encountered, but he felt an extreme danger.

"Protect me, protect me!"

"That’s a human! Catch her for me! Kill her! Eat her! Infect her!"

A large group of Advanced Zombies suddenly rose, rushing fiercely towards the silhouette that killed Old Tan and continued to Wang Huining and Xiaoxue!
