Chapter 746: Chapter 742: Vanguard Appears_1

"They’re from Anli United District." From the crowd, a soldier from the United District supplied the answer.

Tang Ye looked at the thousands of United District soldiers who had just arrived at the airport plaza, and joked, "Yet another person from the United District has arrived. Now all three commissioners are here. I really don’t know what they’re doing here."

As expected, once the soldiers from Anli United District had disembarked, the Commanding General who led them found Li Songhua. His reasons for coming were identical to those of the Commanding General from Renxi United District - they had come to assist in order to prevent the Qinshan Base from being culled by a swarm of a million zombies.

The crowd began to reassess Li Songhua. What power did this guy have to invite over the three giants from the United District?

However, the surprises hadn’t ended. That afternoon, once Li Songhua had settled the soldiers from the other two United Districts, another group of black spots appeared in the sky, even more numerous than those from Anli United District.

"Another batch is coming!"

This time, the three United Districts who had arrived earlier were shocked by the new arrivals!

"That’s... That’s from Fu Hui!"

"How did Mr. Liu manage to send people too? Did Qinshan Base really attract even him here?"

"This should be fun now, Yang Yong. Your Jinhai District can’t devour this alone. You’ll have to share at least this much!"

Someone mocked Yang Yong. The soldiers from Jinhai United District all looked sullen; the situation was now far more complex than they had imagined.

But it wasn’t over yet. Successively, more arrived from Red City, Longdong, Gao’er United Districts over the next day. There was even a large-scale brawl between the Gao’er and Anli United Districts due to old grudges, resulting in numerous casualties.

...

"Jinhai, Renxi, Anli, Fu Hui, Red City, Gao’er, Longdong. Huh, all seven major commissioners from the United District have arrived. This should be interesting."

A look of amusement crossed Tang Ye’s eyes as he counted the number of United District forces on his fingers. Seven actions, not one more or less. But if you say that all seven commissioners had sent troops to Qinshan Base just to defend against the million strong swarm of zombies, Tang Ye would not believe it. What would the true reason be?

Tang Ye thought for a moment. It seemed that the Qinshan Base had nothing remarkable to offer. Of course, except for that mysterious ultimate weapon. Or perhaps the Evolution Crystal within the Level 6 zombie from the undead swarm. Only these would be worthy enough for the seven commissioners to take action all at once.

"Forget it. It’s almost time..."

Tang Ye smirked to himself. His senses told him that the undead swarm had drawn very near. At this point, the vanguard of the undead swarm had already arrived. The full horror of the million undead would likely erupt tomorrow!

And Tang Ye was right. At the Qinshan Base’s zombie defense wall, the construction workers had been fully evacuated. Behind the tall wall, countless soldiers were shouting, "One! Two! Three!" as they hoisted scores of laser cannons onto the wall tops via ropes. Numerous soldiers on the wall were manipulating panels, adjusting parameters.

The light from four searchlights swept back and forth in the darkness before the zombie wall, as if they were the eyes of giants. The soldiers were nervously awaiting their orders. Some had gone pale with fear of what was to come, while others were carefree, flipping the beads in their hands and waiting to see whether fortune or disaster would strike.

"I hope we’ll have another peaceful night."

The soldier controlling the searchlight mumbled to his companion. For some reason, he felt that many of his companions were not present on the wall, which left him feeling uneasy.

"Don’t worry about it."

The companion said, trembling slightly as he lit a cigarette. His shaking hands revealed how nervous he was. As time slowly ticked away, the zombie swarm drew closer and closer. Having lived at the Qinshan Base for such a long time, this was his first encounter with a zombie swarm. He hoped that just like before, he would pass through the ordeal safely, surviving by sheer luck.

At that moment, the soldier next to him maneuvered the beam of the searchlight and abruptly spotted several figures staggering in the ruins.

"Not good! Zombies have appeared!"

His exclamation almost caused his companion to spit out the cigarette he had just lit. After several coughs, he turned to look and saw the staggering zombies in the darkness frantically charging the zombie wall. Their greedy green eyes were glowing under the illumination of the searchlight.

The next second, the alarm changed from blue to red, and the deafening siren blared out. Every soldier reflexively tightened their grip on their weapons, taking aim and firing at the zombies in distance.

"Fire!"

The weak glow from the red particle beams pierced through the darkness, and the zombies hit by the laser beams were thrown dozens of meters away like kites with their strings cut.

At that moment, deafening roars of the undead filled the dark space. The searchlights moved swiftly, revealing the blackened bodies of the zombies. Their grotesque, rotten faces stood out in stark contrast, followed by fierce attacks from the soldiers.

"This is just the vanguard of the undead swarm. Stay calm and focused!"

Once the officer finished speaking, an intense burst of light exploded in the darkness, illuminating everything.

"Electromagnetic Railgun! Charge! Fire!" An officer from the United District on the right side of the zombie wall gave the command. Sparks started to fly out of the giant cannon that stood three meters tall.

A thick silver beam accompanied by electric sparks was launched into the darkness, sending dozens of zombies flying through the air. The loud noise also alerted the swarm of zombies behind, who began to rush over in large groups, letting out horrifying roars that cut through the air with deafening shrillness.

"We’ve got a swarm of zombie birds overhead, watch out!"

Meanwhile, two searchlights were pointed into the sky, immediately illuminating several shadowy figures flapping their rotten wings as they flew closer.

"Hmph, our electromagnetic railgun was specifically designed to deal with those things."

The United District had conducted specialized research on the different types of zombies. Besides the elusive and deadly high-speed zombies, the most difficult to handle were the dense swarms of zombie birds. Using their astonishing agility and sheer numbers, they were nearly impossible to defend against. However, the electromagnetic railgun was invented specifically to deal with such creatures, able to inflict wide-scale damage on the zombie birds.

The electromagnetic railgun, several times longer and thicker than a door, was lifted. A thick silver beam shot from its barrel into the darkened sky, numerous electric sparks scattering in the process. It hit several zombie birds directly, emitting a sizzling noise. A plume of black smoke rose from countless zombie birds before they fell heavily into the darkness.

"So powerful!"

The soldiers from Qinshan Base who saw this were filled with envy. They had never seen such a weapon in their base before.

The attacking vanguard wasn’t made up of a sparse group of leading zombies from within the swarm. They were the ceaseless tide that marked the front lines of the zombie swarm. Behind them was the main force of the swarm. In other words, their appearance signaled the arrival of the zombie swarm. It wouldn’t be over until every single zombie in the swarm had been obliterated!
