Inside the Shelter.

After the sun rose, the defense battle became easier.

The Zombie General clearly knew this, so, for the first time in human history... the zombies retreated!

Like the tide going out, the zombies returned to the forest, leaving behind a bloodstained land and countless corpses.

The dead zombies slowly merged into the ground...

[Note: The invasion has been repelled]

[The bodies of your fallen enemies are being collected]

You obtained 540,120 units of biological material.

62,190 Survivor Coins.

624 battle Experience Points reward.

[Rewards have been sent to your warehouse!]

"Awesome! The boss is mighty!"

"Ha, we won! Boss"

"For the rest of the day, I have to relax at the women's courtyard..."

"'Flat Chest Squad' reporting in! We can't lose to those 'Lover of Great Bosoms Alliance' or 'Cheerful Beautiful Bosom Squad' guys!"

Seeing the zombies retreat, the soldiers cheered loudly, celebrating and hugging each other joyfully.

Almost everyone thought they would die in battle...

But they didn't expect to actually hold on until dawn under the boss's leadership!

"I'm ready to report, boss..."

"Solomon... let's eat first and deal with the report later?" Lin Yi responded wearily, continuing to eat.

The battle finally ended, with some reserve soldiers remaining on the city wall to continue standing guard.

Others took a short break and started having breakfast.

Solomon nodded and started eating as well.

Everyone was exhausted, with a few even falling asleep at the dining table...

Lin Yi allowed the soldiers to have a few drinks to calm their nerves and relieve stress.

After they finished their plates, Lin Yi then had Solomon report the situation.

In this battle, Lin Yi used a stretched-out battle line strategy, which was tough but minimized personnel casualties.

Only three died, and six were injured.

Regarding weapons, over sixty guns needed major repairs, and more than half required extensive maintenance.

The 9mm bullets and arrows were completely used up, and 80% of the hand grenades were used.

Currently, other ammunition is still sufficient, but if they face attacks like last night's two or three more times, soldiers might have to fight with swords and stones.

After hearing the report, Lin Yi rubbed his sore arm.

He only hoped that their fierce fight that night could severely damage the Zombie General's forces, preventing another attack like last night's.

"How's the situation with the Beastmen?"

"We've sent scouts, but if they survived, they must have suffered huge losses too."

He pondered for a moment, slightly narrowing his eyes: "Tell the brothers, if they see Beastmen, don't fire, report to me immediately."

"Yes, boss!"

"Alright, I'm going to take a nap, tell them to wake me at eleven."

Then, Lin Yi yawned long and jogged to the nearby barracks.

~~~~~~

The previous night.

On a watchtower at the Beastman fortress.

An old Beastman, seeing a large group of zombies approaching from the southwest, muttered.

"Great Chief, they're coming again!"

"I'm not blind. The decisive battle is today. Yesterday we earned a lot of Coins. I've rebuilt the walls. Also armed the warriors with new weapons. This will be a battle of glory."

Terghai bared his fangs, then climbed down from the tower, eager for the upcoming battle.

His heart pounded, and his red skin turned an even deeper red.

At the gate, he gathered thousands of Taru men, women, and children. They were all fully armored, ready to face the final battle.

Among them were about four hundred elite warriors, clad in various armors, each over eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and muscular limbs.

"Yesterday's battle was extremely glorious. We lost many warriors. But we also killed numerous enemies! We will not shame the names of our ancestors. We will show them the might of the Taru!"

"Awoo!" Terghai roared.

"Awoo!" The beast tribe echoed his roar.

The zombies fell like waterfalls from the tall stockade. Those who could still move either crawled, limped, or screamed at their prey.

There were also mutated zombies pounding the giant wooden door, but the door was sturdy and unmoved.

In the previous battle, zombies breached the door in less than half an hour, but this time it took at least an hour.

More and more zombies climbed the stockade, forming a massive pile of corpses, providing a buffer landing point for those coming later.

The Taru knew how to handle this, with the weakest warriors dealing with the small fry, while seasoned veterans focused on the mutated zombies.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

The door finally fell!

By then, the Beastmen were surrounded by a sea of corpses.

The Taru fought fiercely, but once bitten enough times, they too turned into zombies, attacking their comrades, brothers, and sisters.

The aging Shamans sang their songs, sending Taru warriors into a berserk fury.

Their fatigue vanished, bodies filled with vitality. Zombie bites no longer infected them, and their wounds healed rapidly.

"Awoo!" Terghai roared, charging towards the shattered door.

He swung his massive, blood-soaked blade, slicing a heavily armored Level 2 mutated zombie in half with a single blow.

"Kill them! All of them! We will let our ancestors witness a glorious battle!"

Terghai's adrenaline surged, his heart pounding wildly.

The Beastman warriors roared, charging the despicable undead with thrice their previous strength...

~~~~~~

Inside the Shelter.

"Boss! Wake up! Annie... spent all your Coins!"

"Ha?! What? Damn!"

Lin Yi leapt up from the bed, then saw Natasha and Annie standing beside it.

"You almost scared me into having a heart attack... next time, just wake me up with a splash of cold water!"

He muttered, but the girls just giggled.

Suddenly, a Shelter message appeared.

[Warning!!!]

[The Lord of Space-Time, Terghai, has initiated his fragment self-destruction program. All nearby fragments will also be destroyed. The explosion will occur in eight hours!]

At this moment, Solomon rushed into the room.

"Boss, as you predicted, the Beastmen have come, and there's also this message..."

"Tell everyone to stay calm, I'll handle the Beastmen, I knew they'd come!"

Lin Yi smiled, getting out of bed.

Natasha and Annie let out a scream...

Twenty minutes later, Lin Yi, Solomon, Squad Leader Piero, and the telepathic Mage Li, walked through the main gate together.

On the Beastmen's side, ten yards away from the stockade, stood three creatures.

A giant Beastman over 3 meters tall, and two small, elderly Beastmen in robes, barely 1.6 meters tall.

Lin Yi wondered, do Beastmen shrink so much when they age?

The giant Beastman's skin was red, while the two elderly Beastmen had gray-orange and gray-green skin, respectively.

"Boss, this could be a trap!" Solomon whispered...
