Ye Fan stood on the ramparts, looking at the endless horde of zombies below.

It's difficult to spot the hidden armored zombies within the throng just by using one's eyes.

But it's different with radar; the movements of the opponents are laid bare.

Ye Fan doesn't even need to observe; the soldiers at the radar station are continuously monitoring the zombie horde, and the crimson among the ordinary red dots is hard to conceal.

It's undeniable that the bald zombie has set up a deadly trap.

This time, the arriving armored zombies numbered in the hundreds, and the agile zombies they carried also numbered in the hundreds.

If they were to suddenly rush to the base of the wall, it would indeed be a disaster.

"All rocket launcher warriors and mortar warriors, prepare."

"Rocket launcher warriors and air defense infantry, ascend the walls."

"Do not hold back your firepower, and don't bother with ordinary zombies; focus on blasting those armored zombies approaching!"

This time, the Dawn Army pushed all of their heavy firepower forward. Since bullet replenishment is imminent, there's no need to conserve ammunition anymore.

The second battalion withdrew after exhausting their ammunition, and the soldiers of the first battalion defending the flanks stepped up to the frontline.

The bald zombie didn't attack the flanks but focused on the main assault on the south gate, putting pressure on Ye Fan's defense but allowing his firepower to be more concentrated.

Apart from the guard platoon and the rear-guard of the Black Pot Platoon, the main forces of the first battalion's three companies concentrated at the south gate.

When Zhongjing issued the fire command, the most brutal attack and defense since the beginning of the battle commenced.

The assault squad organized by Wang Huining became the primary target for the Dawn Army's snipers.

The sound of gunfire merged into a continuous line, and the thunderous explosions carpeted the entire Outer City District.

The advancing armored zombies were often blasted to pieces by the artillery shells, with some having their legs shot off by snipers, collapsing to the ground.

The agile zombies behind them continued to charge forward. Even without armored protection, these nimble beings still posed a threat to the walls from the piles of corpses.

The light machine guns of the army soldiers became the trump card in close-range combat, spewing streams of fire that knocked zombie after zombie down from the piles of corpses, resolutely preventing agile zombies from reaching the walls.

However, Wang Huining's determination this time was extremely resolute. Upon seeing the Dawn Army's formidable firepower, he did not retreat even for a moment.

Instead, he increased their input, with another wave of thirty thousand zombies closely following.

So many zombies, impossible to kill them all!

The zombies at the front dashed forward, directly crashing against the walls, becoming stepping stones for the following troops.

The height of the corpse pile rapidly increased, quickly reaching three meters!

Some taller zombies could already reach up to touch the top of the walls.

"Flamethrower warriors, set fire!"

All flamethrower warriors were already poised and awaiting orders to start firing simultaneously.

Roaring flames rose into the sky, and the scent of roasted meat permeated the ground.

The burning could delay the increase of the corpse pile's height, but it also obscured the vision of the warriors, forcing them to momentarily retreat.

Some of the loose armored zombies reached beneath the walls!

Throw!

The immensely powerful armored zombies waved their arms, tossing agile zombies overhead, clearing the walls!

The soldiers on the wall did not concern themselves with them, continuing to snipe at the swarm rushing behind.

This round saw more than forty agile zombies entering the inner city!

However, it's not that the inner city was unprepared; as the agile zombies entered, the long-waiting military dogs lunged at them!

The Three-Star Military Dogs are enough to take on agile zombies alone.

The guard platoon and the Black Pot Platoon's soldiers also waited for a long time; they defended the section near the inner city walls, preventing zombies from rushing into the survivor area.

Gunshots rang out within the city.

Some zombies were shot down just as they landed, while others were locked in fierce struggles with the military dogs.

Smoke and flames engulfed the entire Dawn City, turning it into a massive battlefield.

The armored zombies who completed the first throw swiftly climbed onto the corpse pile, directly threatening the walls.

Each armored zombie stood over two meters tall, some towering at two and a half meters.

These creatures, standing atop the corpse pile, immediately exceeded the height of the walls.

Without the protruding round stone in front of the walls, they could have easily climbed up.

Even so, the arms of the armored zombies could already reach the soldiers behind the parapets.

Ordinary zombies could be sniped by almost any firearm, but armored zombies are different; they must be eliminated with heavy machine guns or sniper rifles.

If relying on rifles and light machine guns, concentrated fire is needed to have hope.

Some armored zombies, hit by the impact of concentrated fire, rolled down, but some still broke through.

A tall armored zombie broke through the fire blockade, swung its arm, and directly injured two soldiers, causing them to roll off the walls in a blood-soaked stream.

The flames from flamethrowers were difficult to cause fatal damage to such massive creatures in a short time, making the situation on the walls tense.

On the watchtower, the snipers began to unleash their power.

In this scene, heavy machine guns were hard to wield effectively, but under Zhongjing's suggestion, all snipers ascended the watchtower.

All the windows of the watchtower were now occupied by snipers; as the armored zombies charged at the city, it was time for them to shine.

The dull sound of sniper rifles echoed, and blooms of blood sprayed across the ramparts.

Many armored zombies were just appearing only to be taken down by the snipers.

Especially those Three-Star Snipers—it's no exaggeration to call them sharpshooters, hitting their mark with every shot!

This batch of armored zombies came forth, taking out thirty guards, but was essentially wiped out by the snipers.

"Medics! Rescue!"

The waiting medical team quickly appeared on the ramparts. Two medics carried stretchers, lifting the injured soldiers down, providing immediate aid at the base of the wall.

Fortunately, all the soldiers in this batch were from the first battalion, all Three-Star Soldiers, immune to virus infection.

Some lightly injured were directly bandaged and sent back to the front lines.

However, this was not enough to alleviate the current crisis.

This wave of melee fighting near the city wall gave the next batch of zombies a chance to break through.

This batch, close to thirty thousand zombies, mostly arrived under the city wall.

This narrow strip of land, four kilometers long, within a few hundred meters is filled with zombies!

One next to another, you can shoot at will, and you're guaranteed to hit.

But the overwhelming number is not something that can be dealt with in one or two shots.

Especially after such a long time of fierce battle, the soldiers are running low on bullets.

Wang Huining also noticed this, so he pushed the corpse horde to charge more desperately.

One zombie after another rushed onto the pile of bodies, engulfed in flames, assaulting the city wall. Such creatures without the sense of pain can't be handled with just a few flames.

"Scouts! Grenades!"

The dozens of scouts under Ye Fan's command mobilized.

Including Zhuge Yunxue, Shen Ruihui, and others by his side, simultaneously took grenades from their waists.

A three-star scout can use four grenades daily.

Throw them all at once!

A series of explosions rang out!

Perhaps these grenades weren't lethal to the zombies, but their impact was still there. Some zombies that had just rushed up immediately rolled down, easing the pressure on the city wall.

"Guard squad! Black Pot squad! Engineer company! Get on the wall, unleash all firepower!"

The two squads that had just cleared the agile zombies intruding into the city were on the scene.

With only five minutes until ammunition refresh, no one held back. Everyone with bullets in their guns fired like mad.

Members of the engineer company also had pistols; everyone who could shoot, shot.

All remaining artillery was also fired in this wave.

The concentrated firepower made Wang Huining's heart feel tense, realizing that victory was near.

He didn't expect the Dawn Army to have such tenacious combat abilities.

Seeing victory so close, they could still counterattack fiercely.

The front city wall was too hard to break through.

But Wang Huining quickly found a weak point.

That was near the Water Gate.

Because it's close to the river, it wasn't his main attack focus nor the main defense of the Dawn Army.

But now, the Dawn Army was almost in a death struggle, concentrating all defensive forces on the two main land gates, leaving this area somewhat exposed.

"Two hundred Armored Zombies, bring two hundred Agile Zombies to rush here, throw the Agile Zombies over the wall, causing chaos inside!"

Now was the crucial moment; Wang Huining had already gone all out.

This group of elite zombie squad, mingling within the large zombie force, quietly approached the Water Gate.

Zombies filled the fields, and both sides' offense and defense had reached a fever pitch.

Near midnight, there were less than three minutes left.

The front city wall was ablaze with intense battle, yet the Dawn Army, with mad firepower, could not stop the zombies from advancing.

Wang Huining believed that once the Water Gate was breached, the main battlefield would collapse.

The Dawn Army constantly had soldiers injured and even already had sporadic fatalities.

Yet Ye Fan remained unmoved, still refraining from using the reserve ammunition.

It was still just a small scene; the real battle was tonight and tomorrow morning.

If limited resources are used now, they might not last through tonight.

Just holding on for over two more minutes would resolve the current crisis.

Wang Huining watched as the Armored Zombies reached the Water Gate.

The soldiers guarding here didn't seem aware of the impending danger, still using conventional shooting methods for defense.

They would never expect deadly assassins mixed among the zombies.

The first seven or eight Armored Zombies reached the base wall.

Here, the pile of bodies wasn't as high, but it didn't hinder their throwing!

Whiz whiz whiz~~~!

Seven or eight Agile Zombies were thrown behind the Water Gate.

"It's done!"

Wang Huining waved his arm, eagerly waiting for chaos inside the city to start.

Then nothing happened; the guarding soldiers continued their duties.

The second batch of Armored Zombies arrived, throwing another group of Agile Zombies into the city.

Still no response?

"Is the Dawn Army's internal defense that strong? Is there a large force guarding this area?"

Disbelieving, Wang Huining had the third batch of Armored Zombies charge, operating on both sides, even throwing Agile Zombies with ordinary zombies.

Still no movement.

No intense gunfire or smoke, like mud bulls entering the sea.

"What's going on?"

Even after careful observation, Wang Huining couldn't figure it out.

His eyesight was good, but he couldn't see underwater.

In the dark water, a pair of large eyes watched eagerly at the city wall, waiting impatiently for the crispy zombies to fly over.

"So kind indeed!"

Starving and dizzy, Xiaoba was moved to tears by Wang Huining's generous act.
