The zombies were extremely disgusting and terrifying, and their bodies carried a highly contagious virus that could not be cured. The survivors who had not experienced battle before would feel a chill in their hearts, and did not dare to engage in battle with the zombies.
"Let the workers retreat!" Li Guang waved his hands.
Under Li Guang's order, the 30,000 survivors immediately retreated.
The huge horde of zombies continued to push forward, and after a while, the sea of zombies neared Ning Yue Gorge.
The various traps and fortifications of the Ning Yue Gorge began to take effect.
As the horde of zombies advanced towards the Ning Yue Gorge, all of a sudden, the ground split open, and a 3m-deep, 20m-wide hole appeared. A large number of zombies fell into the hole. The zombies at the back fell in one after another, and were trampled into meat paste by the zombies behind.
These zombies did not have much intelligence, and some simple traps were useful against them. One of them was digging holes.
As long as a hole was dug, hundreds and thousands of zombies would fall in, and be trampled into meat paste by the zombies behind.
Yue Zhong had previously used this method to deal with large zombie hordes. Now, it had become one of Yue Zhong's trump cards against the zombies.
As the zombies continued to advance, they fell into the holes one after another. The 30,000 survivors had been working for a full 6 days in the Ning Yue Gorge, and they had dug over a few thousand holes of various sizes.
Before the zombies could even come into contact with the soldiers, 300,000 ordinary zombies had already fallen into the holes, and were trampled into meat paste. However, the thousands of holes were also filled up by the corpses of the ordinary zombies.
After filling up the holes with corpses, the horde continued to advance towards the Ning Yue Gorge.
After passing through the holes of various sizes, there was a concrete wall of about 1.5m in front of the zombies.
When the ordinary zombies came in front of the concrete wall, they were blocked by it, and could not advance any further. The ordinary zombies did not have the strength to destroy the concrete wall, and could only stand there blankly, reaching out with their claws to scratch at it.
The zombies at the back continued to advance after being blocked, and a large number of them were squeezed together.
Hong! Hong! Boom!
Right at this time, a volley of mortar shells landed on the densely packed horde of zombies, each one capable of blasting dozens of zombies into smithereens.
The frontline soldiers of Ning Yue Gorge also raised their guns and fired at the motionless zombies, causing their heads to explode one by one.
Those soldiers who hadn't become soldiers in the God and Devil System might not be able to shoot zombies that were moving, but they had a 60-70% chance of getting a headshot from a stationary zombie.
The small concrete wall blocked off a large number of zombies, and the horde quickly responded. A number of powerful L2s that were more than 2m tall walked out from the horde towards the concrete wall.
The L2 was a monster with extraordinary strength. One punch was enough to shatter a concrete wall that was not too thick.
Bang! Bang!
The L2s had just neared the concrete wall when the 300 snipers who had been hiding in the shadows immediately pulled the trigger, blasting the heads of the L2s.
The L2s might be able to withstand ordinary rifle bullets, but large caliber sniper bullets could still penetrate their heads and kill them.
The moment the L2s got close to the concrete wall, they would be killed by the snipers, causing the huge horde to be blocked off by the short concrete wall. This allowed Yue Zhong's side to make use of their firepower to wipe out the zombies.
In the depths of the horde, the huge Mutant Zombie closed its eyes, its mouth curling in disdain.
The horde that had been relying on the sea of zombies suddenly split apart, as 10,000 L2s appeared in the middle of the horde, carrying a single H1.
The H1s opened their mouths and spat out fireballs at the concrete wall. The fireballs continued to explode, causing the concrete wall to be blasted into smithereens.
"Heavy artillery support!!" Li Guang's face fell as he gave the order.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
In the distance, the artillery began to fire wildly, as a number of shells rained down on the horde, causing a large number of zombies to be blasted into smithereens. More than 10,000 L2s and H1s were also blasted into ashes by the artillery fire.
In order to support the battle at Ning Yue Gorge, Yue Zhong had deployed 80% of the heavy artillery from the Central Plains over here. Due to the fact that the shells were too precious, Li Guang would only use them at the most critical moments.
The 10,000 L2s and H1s were blasted into smithereens, and the Mutant Zombie within the horde opened its eyes, as a look of fear flashed past its eyes. It leapt into the stomach of one of the L4s, and urged the L4 to retreat towards the back of the horde.
Life forms with intelligence had one thing in common, and that was fear of death. If it wasn't for that, Bi Lü would not have been subdued so easily. Even Yue Zhong was afraid of death.
The L4 hid in a secluded area about a few kilometers away from the battlefield before stopping to rest. As the L4 retreated, a large number of ordinary zombies began to charge towards the Ning Yue Gorge.
Under the bombardment of the H1s, the cement walls at the frontline were blasted apart. After an intense battle, the soldiers at the frontline gave up on the frontline, and retreated to the 2nd line.
Yue Zhong's army had constructed a total of 9 defensive lines, and he was clear that a single line would not be able to defend against the horde.
On the second line of defense, there was also a circle of low concrete walls. The huge horde was once again stopped by the short cement wall, and their heads began to explode.
As soon as the Variant Zombie escaped to a safe place, the huge horde of zombies slowly retreated.
"What's going on?" Li Guang watched as the horde retreated, and his eyes flashed with shock, as a bad premonition arose in his heart.
After all, the moment the horde attacked, they would not retreat. They would only charge forward, until they tore their enemies apart, or were torn apart by their enemies.
After the huge horde retreated, it quickly changed. From within the horde, 50,000 L2s, 100,000 S2s, and 3,000 L3s formed an evolved horde.
The moment the 150,000 evolved zombies appeared, they charged towards the 2nd line of defense like a sharp knife.
"Artillery support!! Artillery support!! "Li Guang saw the appearance of the 150,000 evolved zombies and his face turned pale as he shouted.
The pressure that these 150,000 evolved zombies gave Li Guang was more than 2 times that of a million ordinary zombies.
Against the ordinary zombies, Li Guang could still use traps to deal with them, but against the L2s and L3s, most of the traps were useless. The 1.5m-tall cement wall could be destroyed with a single punch from the L2s.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
A number of artillery shells blasted into the midst of the 150,000 evolved zombies, blasting a large number of them into smithereens.
However, the terrifying artillery fire was not enough to wipe out all the evolved zombies. Many of the L2s managed to charge through the area covered by the artillery fire, and when they reached the cement walls, they would destroy them with a single punch.
One by one, the walls were torn apart by the L2s and L3s, and a large number of S2s managed to charge into Yue Zhong's camp, clashing with him.
The moment Yue Zhong's soldiers engaged in close combat with the zombies, a few of them would be bitten to death, or torn to shreds.
"Beasts! Let's perish together!! " One soldier was surrounded by 3 S2s, and they bit down viciously on his body. His face turned pale as he pulled the pin on his grenade.
Hong! Following a loud explosion, the 3 S2s were blasted apart.
"Go to hell!!" One soldier saw an L3 charging into the camp and killing an ordinary soldier with a single punch, and he roared out in rage. He grabbed a bag of explosives and charged towards the L3, detonating it.
With a loud explosion, the L3 and the soldier were both blasted apart.
On every front, there were many soldiers risking their lives to fight the zombies.
However, as the zombies continued to break through, Yue Zhong's army began to crumble.
There were not many evolved zombies that managed to break through the 2nd line of defense, only about 3,000 of them. However, the number of evolved zombies was not something that Yue Zhong's army could handle.
The evolved zombies did not rush to attack after taking over the 2nd line of defense. Instead, they replenished their numbers from the back, until there were 150,000 of them. Then, they began to attack the 3rd line of defense in a ferocious manner.
Such a method of using evolved zombies as the main force was truly terrifying. Although over 50,000 zombies were incinerated by the heavy artillery, the evolved zombies managed to destroy the 3rd line of defense of Yue Zhong's army, and killed over a hundred Yue Zhong soldiers who could not retreat in time.
Relying on this method of attack, the evolved zombies managed to break through the 3rd line of defense. The number of Yue Zhong's army that had been wiped out had reached over 500.
The loss of over 500 soldiers was a huge blow to the morale of Yue Zhong's army. They were humans, not zombies. There were only 6,000 soldiers stationed at Ning Yue Gorge, and now that 500 of them had died, it was equivalent to 1/12 of them. However, the horde was still endless, and this caused their morale to plummet.
Li Guang listened to the news from the front, and his face turned steely, "Damn it!! What do I do? Should we retreat? "
One of the officers came up to Li Guang and could not help but ask, "Commander, why don't we retreat for now?"
Li Guang frowned and began to consider the suggestion of the officer. The lives of over 5,000 people weighed heavily on his shoulders. This caused him to feel the weight of a leader.
"We can't retreat!!" Right at this time, a voice came from the door.
Li Guang lifted his head, and his eyes flashed with joy, "Leader, you're here!!!" If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
