Wasteland Commander-Chapter 420 - 111: Three Mushroom Bombs

Liu Chang hid with the Corpse King inside a pile of explosive ruins.

Two large kangaroos crouched in the rubble, and they were lurking inside the pouches, watching the battle outside.

"Not bad! Well done, keep pressing forward. Our armed zombies outnumber them, the Dawn Army is showing signs of not being able to hold on."

"Ye Fan has disappeared somewhere, but it doesn’t matter. Kill all the Dawn Army on the city wall. These foolish guys, competing in attrition with zombies, are their brains flooded?"

"Want to be a hero? Want to go down in history? Fine, since you dare to die, I dare to bury you all... Hmm! What’s that?"

Liu Chang, who was chattering non-stop, suddenly paused because he saw a large truck driving past about a hundred meters away from him.

"This is impossible! There’s water behind me, how could there be a truck driving out of the water?"

"Could it be a team of elite soldiers attempting to target the Corpse King?"

"Then you’ve made the wrong calculation. No one would think we’re lurking in the ruins."

Chang Liu had never seen a suicide truck before. Everyone knew the Dawn Army had small mushroom bombs, but no one knew they were transported by truck.

So when the truck passed by, he didn’t pay much attention. In his view, no matter how elite the humans, entering the armed zombie ranks was a death sentence.

He even notified the Fat Corpse King to send some elite zombies to ensure that the human squad inside the truck would be completely wiped out.

Actually, the group of zombies Chang Liu brought had already spread out their positions as much as possible.

But no matter how they spread out, with over a million zombies gathered on this six-to-seven-kilometer-long and over one-kilometer-wide beach, the density couldn’t be too low.

And now the path of the suicide truck was directly towards a group of zombies equipped with anti-air missiles.

A portable anti-air missile is a very practical weapon. It can not only be used for air defense but also temporarily used as a rocket launcher.

However, ordinary zombies don’t have the conditions to install anti-air missiles. Only Level 2 zombies can fire such heavy weapons after modification.

Among this horde of over a million, the number of zombies and Mutant Beasts is roughly split half and half.

And among them, the number of Level 2 zombies is as many as a hundred thousand!

The zombies equipped with anti-air missiles also number around fifty thousand.

Zheng Jinnan really poured a fortune into this armed zombie force, using up almost the entire stockpile of weapons.

It’s precisely because of such dense anti-air weaponry that the Dawn Army’s aircraft and rockets couldn’t open the situation for a long time.

The suicide truck passed by areas dense with Mutated Zombies without stopping. It was programmed to explode in areas dense with Level 2 zombies.

The zombies also received the Corpse King’s orders and rushed wildly at the approaching suicide truck, attempting to intercept the vehicle.

The suicide truck resembled a large tanker truck and was quite heavy.

With a stretch of open ground available for acceleration, the suicide truck had gathered speed, and when many zombies lunged at it, it just ran them over directly.

Bang, bang, bang~~~!

Splashes of blood exploded at the truck’s front. Even Mutated Zombies couldn’t stop this fast-moving enormous truck.

And the Corpse King’s order was to kill the people inside the truck. In the zombies’ understanding, they had to see the people inside to achieve this.

So they didn’t choose to open fire, and instead tried to intercept with their bodies.

Mutated Zombies couldn’t stop it, so Level 2 zombies stepped in.

One after another, towering King Kong Zombies lunged at the truck, roaring.

When the vehicle struck the body of a King Kong, it immediately slowed down.

These iron-like zombies were too heavy. After several collisions, the truck’s speed slowed significantly.

And at that moment, a Tyrannosaurus Zombie, with a missile launcher on its back and over five meters tall, came forward.

The zombie roared, and with its sturdy arm, simply held up the speeding truck. The terrifying brute force created two deep ruts under its feet, and after sliding dozens of meters, the truck was finally forced to a stop!

The Tyrannosaurus roared, extending its giant claws to tear open the truck’s front.

But there was no one inside!

Seeing no life forms, these simple-minded zombies were baffled. However, the Corpse King’s order to find and kill life forms remained, so they each tried to come closer for a look.

At this moment, the suicide truck’s self-destruct program was activated!

A flash of red light, and an explosion with temperatures over ten thousand degrees rapidly spread across the beach!

Boom~~~~!

The ground trembled!

A bright flame quickly expanded, and a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky on the southwestern beach of Dawn Island.

The explosion site wasn’t far from the city wall, the direct line distance was less than five hundred meters.

This distance was precisely within the explosion’s shock range.

A fiery storm formed by the scorching heat swept fiercely!

Within this range, all zombies, mutant rats, and mutated birds are engulfed by the fireball, swept up with their bodies moved by the shockwave, the smaller ones directly vaporized.

The larger ones with higher density are swept by the shockwave, heavily crashing against the Wall, and after a few seconds of pause, their bodies are vaporized by the high temperature.

One kind vaporizes instantly, while the other persists for a few seconds before vaporizing, leaving no residue.

On the Wall, Dawn Army soldiers all knew the timing of the explosion; when it occurred, they ran into the watchtower, under the iron plates, or hid behind the Wall on the other side.

The fierce explosion howled past over their heads, the solid alloy Wall blocking the deadly shockwave.

Intense nuclear radiation would have residual effects on the ground, but the alloy Wall leaves little trace, almost no impact.

The Wall was not designed solely to resist zombies, but also to block various human-developed explosions, even nuclear weapons.

The blinding light flickered on Dawn Island for nearly a minute.

The small sun-swept dark clouds soared upward, the mushroom cloud headed straight for the atmosphere.

This explosion was unexpected, yet delightful.

Calculating from the explosion’s epicenter, at least hundreds of thousands of zombies, mutant rats, and mutated birds were wiped out by this explosion.

From the Dawn Army’s radar map perspective, this area has been completely cleared, with only some particularly high-flying mutated birds surviving, even the low-flying ones were not spared, all eliminated!

While the elimination of over 120,000 is impressive, what delights Ye Fan most is that in this area, over 10,000 anti-air zombies were also cleared by this explosion.

Without this anti-air defense zone, the zombie defenses will have a major flaw, allowing Dawn Army’s aircraft to breakthrough from here.

Yet Ye Fan remains still, knowing the explosion won’t be a one-time occurrence.

Despite being unaware of the Corpse King’s location, this explosion surely caught its attention.

Ye Fan aims to strike again twice while the Corpse King is unresponsive, further easing the defenders’ pressure.

Meanwhile, the other two self-destruct trucks raced across the beach.

One self-destruct truck headed straight to the west, where numerous anti-air zombies gathered.

The other truck headed east, an area Ye Fan recently constructed, with few watchtowers and Light Prism Towers, making it a defensive focal point.

......

"Mushroom Bomb!"

"Damn Dawn Army! Damn Ye Fan! Is he insane? Dropping a Mushroom Bomb on his own territory, doesn’t he want this land anymore?"

"How was the Mushroom Bomb launched? You damned fatso, you were supposed to intercept airstrikes, what did you do? Our anti-air zombies were obliterated by over 10,000!"

Liu Chang yelled furiously, the anti-air zombies played a vital role, without them, relying only on mutated birds couldn’t block Dawn Army’s air force.

Before figuring out how the Dawn Army accomplished the Mushroom Bomb drop, the second explosion occurred!

Another mushroom cloud soared into the sky on the western battlefield!

The blinding light nearly blinded Chang Liu’s eyes; he covered them, shouting wildly!

"Damn it! Attacking the west, that was our key assault zone!"

Directly controlling the Corpse King, he senses its controlled numbers.

The two Mushroom Bomb explosions inflicted heavy losses on the zombie horde.

Prior battles with the Dawn Army reduced the horde from 1.5 million to 1 million.

The two mushroom bomb blasts further dwindled the numbers to over 600,000!

Liu Chang felt a heartache as if bleeding; these armed zombies weren’t common, cheap zombies, they required resources for modification.

To create an armed zombie force, resources from Jiangzhou were largely exhausted, at least half depleted.

Continuing to produce armed zombies is possible, but it requires purchasing weapons for zombie installation, and that’s costly.

So he dares not gather the remaining zombies, fearing another Mushroom Bomb attack.

"Head east! Fewer watchtowers there, see those dual-barreled tanks? Aim that direction; I refuse to believe Ye Fan would drop a Mushroom Bomb near his armored troops, doesn’t he worry about his tank corps being buried with us?"

Chang Liu assumed his reasoning was flawless, Ye Fan disregards territory but must care about his soldiers.

Approaching the tank group, deterrence from Ye Fan’s caution was his spur-of-the-moment idea.

A large swarm of mutated birds, mutant rats, and others began charging towards the tank formation.

The tanks’ ammunition was mostly depleted, and Ye Fan didn’t have the opportunity to open doors atop the Wall; now the tank formation retreated to the eastern side.

Clustered together, the iron lumps made little progress for the mutant rats and mutated birds to destroy them.

As the zombies approached en masse, a third explosion erupted!

Ye Fan disregarded the safety of his tank troops entirely, dropping a third Mushroom Bomb near the eastern Wall!

This explosion’s destructive power surpassed the previous two, owing to higher zombie density here! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

At least 200,000 of various zombies and mutant beasts, mutated birds, and some Apocalypse Tank formations, all within this explosion’s range!
