Apocalypse King System
Chapter 247 247: The Comprehensive Siege of the Zombie Tide

Crack...

A dazzling thunderbolt flashed across the sky, and Sacha landed steadily in the center of the Magic Capital Sub-base. Not far away from her, a group of men was busy constructing walls.

Of course, the walls of the sub-base were naturally incomparable to the main base, but they were much better than the walls built inside the previous base. Sacha also sent a few female warriors with earth-based abilities to assist in the construction.

Below the walls, a group of men worked tirelessly, moving stones and sand. There was almost no time for rest because any attempt to slack off would result in an immediate whip from the patrolling female warriors. If these men dared to resist in the slightest, it would be an even greater crime, and many were thrown outside the base to feed the zombies.

Wu Junwen lifted a bag of sand with a grunt, placed it directly on a small cart nearby, and then struggled to push it forward.

Considering his physique, it was indeed not easy for him to endure until now. Although Sacha and her group ensured that these men wouldn't starve, it was only enough to keep them from dying of hunger. They still had to maintain this high-intensity labor, so over the past few days, these men had all slimmed down. However, Sacha didn't see them as human anyway.

As for the other women in the base, their lives were relatively easier, mainly responsible for some simple tasks.

"Exhausting..." Wu Junwen wiped the sweat off his forehead. He had barely managed to complete today's work, and he felt like his whole body was about to fall apart.

Before the apocalypse, he was a billionaire, and even after the apocalypse, he was part of the management of the base. He had never done such dirty and exhausting work. Wu Junwen was unwilling to live like this, with no end in sight to the toil. If anything went wrong, he could face a whipping at the least or have his limbs cut off at the worst.

These women can be described as nothing but cruel, and even if these men were to be killed, those women wouldn't face any punishment from the higher-ups. Or rather, the use of such harsh punishments to manage these men was originally ordered by the high-ranking officials of the base.

In these past few days, there have been men who dared to resist, but they were all thrown out of the base to feed the zombies. These women once arrogantly declared, "You useless men are sentenced to work to death here. If it weren't for the mercy of the leaders, keeping you as laborers, you probably wouldn't have survived until now. If anyone has any other ideas, don't blame me for being ruthless."

While the people below were so arrogant, the attitude of the upper echelons in the base was even more brutal. There were men who were killed on the spot for saying the wrong thing. Originally, Wu Junwen's idea was to incite these unwilling men to unite and overthrow the rule of these women, or at least stand up against them. Wu Junwen no longer hoped for things like before, taking control of the entire gathering place and driving away Ma Quan. He only wished to restore his previous position, which didn't seem too unreasonable.

However, in these days, the decisive and ruthless actions of the female warriors in the base almost terrified all the men. Those who dared to resist all met their demise. Wu Junwen secretly contacted quite a few people, but the responses he received were few and far between. Now, he only hoped to find a way to cause some chaos, then take the opportunity to escape the gathering place. Staying here was simply unbearable for anyone.

"That old man over there... What's he standing around for? Is he thinking of slacking off and getting beaten again?" Hearing the reproach from the supervisor, Wu Junwen was startled and quickly began to move. However, the hatred in his lowered eyes was evident.

In the suburbs of Grizzly City.

"Aren't they bombing anymore? Hmph, at least I've run out of bombs..."

Inside a villa, a young girl in white attire, wearing a crown, gazed at the battlefield not far away. A cold expression on her small face revealed a hint of murderous intent.

The bombardment in the Grizzly Military Zone had lasted for a full three days. All the stockpiled shells in the military zone had been used up, barely holding back the onslaught of the zombie tide. Now, with no continuous bombardment, it was unknown how long the defense line could be sustained solely by the soldiers.

The zombie girl let out an excited roar, issuing commands to the surrounding zombies. In an instant, almost all the zombies became agitated, roaring together as they attacked in the direction of the military zone.

Inside the Grizzly Military Zone, Liu Yuanbing frowned as he listened to the continuous reports from his subordinates, all repeating the same problems: a shortage of ammunition, insufficient stockpile, and requests for reinforcements.

"Dad, what do we do? The ammunition in the military zone is almost running out..."

Liu Yu urgently shouted to his father. At this moment, even with his usual arrogant demeanor, he felt fear.

Once the defense line of the military zone was breached, with thousands of zombies collectively swarming in, everyone would likely feel a sense of despair.

"You useless, don't cause trouble for me here..."

Liu Yuanbing frowned and gave his son a slap. He only caused trouble at ordinary times, and at a critical moment, he couldn't be relied upon.

After kicking his son out of the room, Liu Yuanbing walked with big strides to the room where his father, Liu Jianye, was located.

"Dad, aren't you planning to break out now? If you don't leave, there won't be a chance anymore. Even with the continuous bombardment unable to stop the advance of the zombies, and now with insufficient ammunition, coupled with the command of the Zombie King, I'm afraid the defense line of the military zone will soon be breached."

"If you want to leave, bring along those willing soldiers to break out. An old man like me doesn't have the strength to travel long distances anymore..."

Liu Jianye waved his hand, his eyes filled with endless loneliness.

He didn't want to stop his son either. Although leaving at this critical moment could be considered abandoning the battle, just by looking at the panic among his soldiers, it was clear that no one wanted to stay here and wait for death.

Liu Yuanbing wasn't surprised by his father's choice. When the old man made a decision, they couldn't stop him. He sighed inwardly, saluted respectfully, and then left the room.

Liu Jianye walked to the window, looking at the Grizzly City dozens of kilometers away, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

He was born here, grew up here, and now he was going to rest here.

Even for the soldiers he brought out, Liu Jianye was somewhat reluctant to see them die in the mouths of zombies. Fortunately, he had sent out the message an hour ago.

At this moment, dozens of unmanned aerial vehicles carrying leaflets should have flown over Grizzly City. As long as that man was willing to come and rescue these female soldiers, Liu Jianye would die without regrets.

He always believed that dying in battle should be a man's affair, unrelated to these female soldiers.

Meanwhile, within the Order base, Yue Yiren looked up and saw dozens of high-altitude drones breaking through Order's defenses from afar, flying towards the inner city.

At the same time, female warriors patrolling on the city walls also noticed, but their strength was not enough, and they had no flying ability. They reported the information up the chain of command.

"The Grizzly Military Zone is currently besieged by the zombie tide, and they even have the chance to provoke us. They're truly seeking death..."

Yue Yiren snorted coldly. Just as she was about to get up, she noticed that two figures had already flown into the sky, intercepting the high-altitude drones that were about to approach.

"Shouldn't I be the one responsible for the base's security?"

She looked puzzled. She had been managing the base these days and hadn't had the chance to move around. Despite having her abilities for so long, she hadn't really used them much.

In the sky, Lisa and Judy exchanged glances, hummed at each other, and it seemed like they were in a competition as each of them charged towards a different group.

Crackling sounds...

Boom, boom, boom...

The two of them joined forces, and in no time, they blasted all dozens of drones in the sky, causing no harm to the base.

"What is this stuff?"

Looking at the scattered papers in the sky, Lisa was momentarily stunned. After exploding the drones, why were there so many papers flying out? Could they be disobedient bombs?

Grabbing one of the papers floating down, Lisa started to read.

"Respected leader of Grizzly Base, greetings. This is a letter from the Grizzly Military Zone. We boldly request your assistance in rescuing the five thousand female soldiers in the Grizzly Military Zone..."
