Wasteland Commander-Chapter 416 - 107: The Horde Lands

After leaving the parliament building, Ye Fan boarded the helicopter and flew directly to the southwest of the island.

As soon as he left the parliament building, the island sounded the enemy attack alarm.

The piercing alarm sounded, and the island residents who had already fallen asleep woke up in terror from their dreams.

Soldiers and vehicles were running everywhere on the streets, and the Dawn Island police had already deployed patrol cars, shouting loudly through loudspeakers on the streets.

"Attention everyone! Attention everyone! Zombie hordes are attacking Dawn Island, everyone stay at home and do not go out, wait for further notification! If anyone disobeys orders and leaves, they will be killed without mercy!"

The island’s lights quickly connected together, countless searchlights lit up, shining towards the sky.

The helicopters began to take off, pilots emerged from the barracks, quickly running towards the airport.

Large groups of soldiers also left the barracks, either taking up combat positions or boarding vehicles headed for the southwest of the island.

Apocalypse Tanks gathered into a steel flood and also began heading towards the southwest.

In the ocean, the aircraft carrier battle group also started up, heading upstream along the river, rushing to the southwest battlefield.

However, none of them were faster than Ye Fan. Riding on the Hero Level Night Hawk helicopter, Ye Fan took only five minutes to reach the vicinity of the southwest riverfront from the parliament building.

This is not a residential area but rather a port area, and there are not many people at night.

The Dawn Army’s field brigade, following Ye Fan’s orders, was rapidly rushing over, but they were in vehicles and hadn’t arrived yet.

Meanwhile, on the radar screen, countless zombie hordes and mutant birds and beasts could already be seen crossing half of the Celestial River.

Ye Fan looked at the possible landing site of the enemy, and without hesitation, quickly opened the system and selected the defense page.

There, there were two structures, the alloy wall and the ultimate alloy wall.

Ye Fan selected the alloy wall.

[Alloy Wall: A mixed metal wall that can withstand all thermal weapons, including mushroom bombs, with a height of fifty meters, a thickness of fifteen meters, embedded fifteen meters underground, costing three thousand Gold per meter, can be discounted by 90% through material replenishment.]

Three thousand Gold per meter is quite expensive, but Ye Fan’s warehouse had accumulated a lot of metal, so after the discount, it was only three hundred Gold per meter.

Ye Fan immediately constructed ten thousand meters of alloy wall, then jumped down from the helicopter.

It was still about two kilometers from the coast, but Ye Fan didn’t plan to move forward. These two kilometers would serve as a temporary battlefield.

As for how many people were within this two-kilometer range, Ye Fan couldn’t worry about it anymore. There was no time to evacuate now.

Shen Ruihui found a motorcycle, and Ye Fan sat on the back seat, directly starting to build the alloy wall.

His production speed was incredibly fast now, with each meter of wall taking even just 0.3 seconds to construct.

Shen Ruihui rode the motorcycle at a steady pace at the front, while the alloy wall stretched out behind them.

Rumble rumble~~!

As the wall settled, the ground trembled slightly.

These fifty-meter-high walls, embedded fifteen meters underground, looked incredibly imposing once they landed.

One hundred meters... five hundred meters... two thousand meters!

On the opposite side of the Celestial River, the zombie hordes were about to land.

At this point, the emergency response of the Dawn Army also activated.

The artillery units had aimed their guns in this direction and started launching rocket artillery.

Countless rockets fell from the sky, attempting to attack the zombie hordes that had not fully landed yet.

But a shocking scene occurred for Ye Fan.

Even within the zombie hordes, countless shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles were launched!

These anti-aircraft missiles had automatic tracking functions and could actually intercept rockets in the air!

And the number of these shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles was no less than that of the rocket artillery.

"This is impossible!"

Watching this scene, Ye Fan’s hand trembled.

They were just zombies, how could they intercept missiles?

This was beyond Ye Fan’s understanding of zombies.

However, Ye Fan’s mental fortitude was extremely strong; he knew that in times like these, he must remain calm, and the alloy wall must be constructed.

At this moment, behind him, the field brigade had arrived by vehicle.

"Sir! We’re here."

"Get on the wall immediately and prepare to fight!"

"Understood!"

The soldiers quickly climbed the wall and entered combat status.

Ye Fan continued orchestrating the emergency construction of the wall from the motorcycle.

As he finished 3,500 meters of wall, the mutant bird flock had already reached the shore first.

Onshore, there were still many people from various countries of the world, and they were in panic and fleeing everywhere.

The mutated birds stared with blood-red eyes and directly started bomb attacks!

Each mutated bird had four bombs in its claws.

Those plastic containers filled with acid were strapped to their bellies, ready to be clawed open at any time.

Faced with the panicked crowd below, the mutated birds chose to drop their bombs.

This batch of mutated birds numbered around fifty thousand, with only about three thousand of them dropping bombs, which brought about devastating consequences.

Although each bomb’s yield wasn’t particularly large, the sheer number was overwhelming.

As bombs exploded on the ground, those fleeing crowds immediately faced catastrophe!

In the first moment, about half of the people here were killed by the explosions.

After the bombing, the second round of strong acid solution turned the wounded directly into a pool of blood.

In an instant, the riverbank in the southwest became a ghostly realm!

Witnessing this scene, the soldiers of the Dawn Army couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.

The mutated birds were actually equipped with bombs!

This has become quite a problem.

Although the soldiers of the Dawn Army were shocked, they were not afraid; the word "fear" was simply not in their minds.

Anti-aircraft machine guns were mounted on the city walls; the soldiers realized that the threat from the ground was not great on the fifty-meter-high alloy walls, and the mutated birds in the sky were the primary enemy they had to face first.

As the soldiers prepared for a desperate battle, Ye Fan rushed back anxiously.

He also realized that today’s battle would be the toughest the Dawn Army had faced since its founding; these walls absolutely must be held, and seeing the situation with the mutated birds, he knew relying solely on the battlements wouldn’t be enough.

An additional structure was needed, the ultimate alloy watchtowers.

[Ultimate Alloy Watchtower: Can be built on the city walls, 30 meters high, can accommodate a squad of soldiers, equipped with a 30mm automatic cannon and a 20mm anti-aircraft/ground cannon, automatically refreshes with ten thousand rounds daily, costing twenty thousand Gold. Note: Light Prism Tower can be placed inside.]

Ye Fan had already constructed four kilometers of walls, with a bend at the westernmost part.

A portion of the wall extended into the river, as he tried to ensure that zombies would remain within the area enclosed by the wall.

He wasn’t sure if the zombies would behave, but after completing construction of the last meter of the western wall, he quickly purchased a large number of sea mines and threw them into the river.

Instantly, a small, densely packed minefield was formed here.

Though zombies aren’t particularly obedient, they understand avoiding danger; he hoped this minefield could help prevent the spread of fighting to the direct westward direction.

After finishing all this, he quickly constructed two hundred watchtowers and two hundred Light Prism Towers.

Halting wall construction for now, they began placing one watchtower, one Light Prism Tower. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Enter the watchtowers! One squad per watchtower, others stay around the watchtowers to avoid aerial bombs and strong acid!"

One towering watchtower rose on the city walls, towering thirty meters above the fifty-meter wall, each overseeing from above.

As one watchtower after another was erected, squads of soldiers quickly ran into them.

Watchtowers had automatic elevators, and they transported lots of machine guns and ammunition inside as well.

Ye Fan sprinted along the wall, knowing that time was life; every bit more defensive deployment completed could save more lives.

While deploying, he occasionally glanced at the riverbank, which was already a sea of fire.

Flocks of mutated birds circled in the sky, almost wiping out all the people there.

And it was hordes of mutant rats that landed before the zombies.

These rats could swim, each fat and strong, resembling a bunch of small wild boars.

After landing from the riverfront, they immediately let out nerve-wracking squeaks and charged fiercely toward the walls.

They were like a moving black carpet, instantly covering any humans they encountered.

No matter alive or dead, anyone covered by the mutant rats was instantly gnawed away, not leaving even bits of bone.

Grinding his teeth, Ye Fan forged ahead, with watchtowers rising behind him, filled with the slightly rotating, blue-glowing Light Prism Towers within.

Zzzz~~~!

Suddenly, a blue beam shot out from within a Light Prism Tower, hitting a mutated bird from the sky as it entered the range!

The mutated bird shrieked, its feathers exploded as if subjected to a large X-ray, then fell smoking.

Zzz~~~!

Two more rays fired from two Light Prism Towers, killing two large mutated birds a kilometer away.

Zzzzzz~~!

Before the Dawn Army’s warriors had the chance to fire, the Light Prism Towers started to unleash their power.

These towers needed no manual control; they automatically locked onto targets, prioritizing killing large mutated birds or densely packed bird flocks.

When the mutated birds reached approximately five hundred meters, Ye Fan finally placed all two hundred Light Prism Towers and watchtowers.

The Light Prism Towers began indiscriminately firing, each having intervals between attacks, yet with two hundred together, blue laser beams almost constantly shot out, killing countless mutated birds in the air.

By this time, not only had the mutant rats approached the walls, but zombies had already landed.
