As long as they were human, they didn't want to die.
The slaves were no exception.
Donggang used to be an ecological garden. Not long after the war, it became a mutated fruit farm, then it became a plantation for the slaves to work.
Some of the farmers were criminals, some were captured by raiders, some were poor people who sold their labor, and some were simply there because of debt. They could endure the labor in the plantation, and they could endure the beating and scolding from the supervisors. After all, they weren't slaves of the mutated humans. As long as they worked long enough, they could obtain freedom and become free citizens.
But recently, a rumor spread among the slaves.
The mutated humans were continuously being killed in Empire.
Empire was planning to use the heads of the slaves to appease the mutated humans!
In the beginning, no one believed it since it was too ridiculous. Although they were slaves of Empire, they were still citizens of Empire. Empire had the right to do whatever they wanted, but they had no right to take their lives.
This was the bottom line they could endure, and it was the only bottom line they could endure.
But one evening, people from the capital came to take away 154 slaves.
Needless to say, the people carrying out the order were brainless. There were rumors everywhere. Almost everyone in the Empire knew that 154 Mutants were involved in the violent incident.
Combined with the "rumor" from before, the purpose of taking away 154 slaves was self-evident.
In an instant, the plantation was in a frenzy.
No one wanted to die for such a ridiculous reason.
Therefore, under the instigation of the spy who infiltrated the plantation, a violent uprising began.
The supervisors and guards had guns, while the slaves only had shovels and hoes. But it didn't matter, this was the apocalypse.
The insurgents were divided into two groups. One group blew up a corner of the plantation wall, and the other group took hoes and shovels and hid in the path of the patrol team.
The survivors living on the wasteland all knew how terrifying the zombies were at night. Even the Death Claws were afraid of the zombies as they would tear apart any living thing they encountered.
When the zombies broke through the wall, the other group paid the price of more than ten lives and used hoes and sickles to cut open the guards' chests. They picked up their guns and attacked the armory according to the plan.
At this time, the plantation was in a mess.
The guards frantically rushed to the collapsed wall, using barbed wire to form a line of defense, using the rifles in their hands to kill the zombies that entered the plantation. In such a chaotic situation, no one noticed the murdered patrol soldiers and the armory that was breached by the slaves armed with rifles.
The slaves who were mobilized rushed into the armory, turning from unarmed mobs into fully armed insurgents, and began to attack the regular army of the empire.
Faced with the wrath of ten thousand slaves, the guards and supervisors, who were only a few hundred in number, were like a small boat in a raging wave. They were soon drowned in the bullets of the insurgents and the sharp claws of the zombies. After a bloody battle, after paying the price of more than 500 lives, the insurgents used barbed wire and trucks to block the gap in the wall, clearing out the zombies that had invaded the plantation.
Four hundred and thirty-one heads were chopped off, including the official who had been sent by the Empire.
The Empire's flag was burned and replaced with the survivors' own flag.
Like a spark, the rebellion in Donggang Plantation ignited the fire that would split the empire.
…
Under the steel airship, the electromagnetic pulse cannon named "Hammer of Order" was slightly lowered and aimed at the mutated humans' position.
Suddenly, a blue electric arc jumped between the tracks, like a bright light, embellishing the darkness of the night sky. The mutated humans leaning against the bunker raised their heads and cast a confused look at the unnatural light source. The NAC soldiers also hiding in the bunker silently reloaded their rifles and opened the tactical image on their helmets.
"Shooting coordinate correction completed."
"Capacitor charging completed."
"Mass bomb loaded."
"Fire!"
With Captain Jiang Chen's order, the gunner opened the safety and pressed the red button with his thumb.
Like the vibration of cicada wings, the ear-piercing buzzing sound could be clearly heard even inside the airship.
Water molecules were electrolyzed, oxygen was oxidized, and the air near the electromagnetic pulse cannon rippled with the blue electric arc.
Under the watchful eyes of all the mutated humans, the blinding blue light instantly lit up the night sky, and an orange-yellow flame burst out in an instant.
"Boom-!"
The 100kg bomb hit the ground, just like a bullet hitting a gel, it cracked open a cavity in the soil and lifted everything on the ground into the sky.
Dust erupted.
The broken shrapnel and gravel blew past like a storm, shredding everything in the center of the storm and then burying it.
When the dust dissipated, the bloodlust in the mutated humans' pupils receded as they stared at the ten-meter-wide pit in the center of the battlefield, and only fear remained.
"What is that?"
"Why didn't NAC use it before?"
There were only two questions lingering in the minds of the mutated soldiers, but before they could react to the artillery shell, a barrage of rockets came from the sky.
Fuel splashed in the air and drowned everything in a sea of fire. The firepower this time was far more ferocious and intense than the previous few times.
The mutated humans began to retreat, but it was too late.
The firepower stopped, and the NAC soldiers began to charge. With the support of the Aurora-20s, they began to mercilessly harvest the mutated humans' army.
The 5000 people army was defeated in less than half an hour. The mutated humans with more than half dead fled to the city and jumped into the river. It was a pitiful scene.
At the same time, the pursuing force happened to bump into the second mutated human army that came to provide support. The two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire in the jungle.
Every ten minutes, a 100kg bomb rained down on the mutated humans' position.
To deal with the terrifying heavy artillery and rocket barrage, the mutated humans had to disperse their formation.
But once the formation dispersed, the mutated humans' advantage in numbers was negligible in front of the NAC's expeditionary force.
Against the soldiers covered in kinetic skeletons, the mutated humans with only bullet belts and animal skins, the battle was a one-sided massacre.
Kill them all!
It was the only instruction the command center gave to the NAC soldiers.
There was no mercy for the bloodthirsty mutated humans.
NAC didn't need the mutated humans as captives, and they didn't have the manpower to detain the mutated humans, so there was no reason to accept their surrender!
The sky began to brighten, and the light of dawn scattered across the land. The first thing that was illuminated was the bloodstains that dyed the Eastern Suburban red. It spread from the ruins of the wastewater treatment plant to the west of Panyang Lake …
