Wasteland Commander

Chapter 122: The Divine Might of the Giant Cannon!


Hearing Nana's prompt, Ye Fan was stunned.

He had considered many possibilities of what could come out of a supply crate, but never a giant cannon.

In the game, a giant cannon like this can't be obtained from a supply crate.

It's a special unit belonging to an allied nation.

Calling it the ultimate defensive weapon against ground targets is no exaggeration.

With its enormous caliber and long range, apart from the Three-Star Apocalypse, it can basically destroy any ground target in one shot.

If used against infantry, it has considerable splash damage.

In the game, if you can build and place a row of these at someone's doorstep, they won't be able to even come out.

Of course, in reality, a cannon is still just a cannon and cannot be compared to missiles, but this is the strongest cannon after all!

It's absolutely perfect for dealing with zombies.

Ye Fan immediately thought of Shen Ruihui.

Although it was brought back by Xiaotian, it was Shen Ruihui who personally picked it up and strapped it to Xiaotian.

This guy's luck is incredible!

Last time, he found a supply crate in the water and got Xiaoba, this time he found one in the mountains and got a giant cannon.

He must be a cheat or something.

With the giant cannon in hand, Ye Fan didn't know where to place it.

This guy takes up considerable space, it can't be placed on the city wall or it won't fit, placed inside the city, it can't fire, and placing it outside is too risky, you still have to watch over it.

Finally, Ye Fan decided to build a turret for it!

The location for the turret was easily chosen, right next to the main city gate in the core area.

It is the center point between the Inner City District and the core area, building it slightly higher will cover the entire urban area and outside.

The construction of the turret is simple, just building a ten-meter wall is enough.

A ten-meter wall costs 500 Gold.

However, Ye Fan had stockpiled a lot of building materials, reducing the construction cost by 90%, making it just 50 Gold per meter.

After consulting Nana, the base of this turret needs to be 220 square meters!

One meter of the wall is four square meters, Ye Fan directly produced thirty meters.

1500 Gold spent, then he seemed to run to the core area and seemed to place the walls like building blocks.

Ye Fan can choose whether the wall has battlements or not, some don't need it, the edges do.

Finally, he built a rectangular ten-meter high tower with battlements.

Below it were stairs that could be folded up and down to climb to the top, this was the turret.

After the ten-meter wall was built, Ye Fan began placement.

220 square meters, with a surrounding walkway for soldiers to patrol.

But just this single cannon completely shocked Ye Fan.

Is this really a cannon?

The barrel is just too thick!

It looks like a sewer pipe big enough for a person to fit through!

"Giant Cannon, a Red Alert special unit, not in the Qin and Han States' production sequence, barrel length twelve meters, caliber 480mm, maximum range 38 kilometers, turret capable of 360-degree rotation, equipped with a recoil system, can only attack ground targets, has five 1.4-ton armor-piercing shells and five 900-kilogram high-explosive shells. It has no anti-air capabilities, recommend protecting it with air defense units."

"Note: The giant cannon does not belong to the Qin and Han production sequence, so the munitions factory cannot produce giant cannon shells, only ten rounds can be fired each day, and after use, they can only refresh the next day."

After reading the specs of this giant cannon, Ye Fan suspected this cannon was removed from the main battery of a battleship.

The 480mm caliber and 38-kilometer range grant this cannon terrifying firepower.

The largest battleship main cannon before likely wouldn't surpass this cannon's specs.

A ten-meter high turret standing in the core area, the massive main cannon sparkled in the sunlight.

The body of the cannon bore the mark of the Dawn Army.

"It should be given a name."

Ye Fan was unable to mass-produce the giant cannon; this cannon here is practically the city suppressor of Dawn Army.

"What should I name it?"

Ye Fan circled the giant cannon twice and simply clapped his hands.

"Let's call it Dawn Justice."

Following Ye Fan's naming, several eye-catching words appeared on the cannon.

"Dawn Justice!"

Ye Fan felt his naming sense was quite good, as this cannon represented Dawn Army's justice.

With such a caliber, who dares to claim this isn't justice?

Now that the giant cannon had been set up, Ye Fan knew the zombie siege war was effectively over.

No matter what tricks that bald guy might try, they couldn't possibly threaten Dawn City anymore.

Though it was to end, how it would end was still a question.

Ye Fan first gathered some Dawn Army soldiers.

This giant cannon is computer-controlled for firing, and ten shells come built-in with the turret, so soldiers don't have to manually reload.

But even without manual loading, it still requires personnel to guard it.

This is not only a turret, but also a vantage point of Dawn City.

A ten-meter high platform, taller than the city gate by quite a bit; fortunately, the core area city gate originally had a circle of trees for concealment, so although the giant cannon's appearance was somewhat abrupt, it could be excused by claiming a temporary installation on an existing base.

Even if some people doubt this explanation, Ye Fan wasn't concerned about their doubts.

Doubt won't cost them a penny, and anyone's doubts can only simmer inside them.

A squad of Dawn Army soldiers, including four air defense infantry and four army soldiers.

They are divided into two shifts, providing 24-hour protection for this giant cannon and directly monitoring the entire city.

Ye Fan wanted to test the cannon's power first.

"Commander, when you want to fire, just give me the order, I can directly control the central system inside the cannon to fire."

Ye Fan nodded: "Then let's start with a shot, aim at that hill over there. I find those zombies lurking behind the hill quite annoying, they've been raging at our base for two days, it's time I gave them a little gift."

"Should we fire armor-piercing shells or shrapnel shells?"

"Armor-piercing shells. They have cover over there."

"Alright, preparing... firing in five seconds!"

"Wait a moment."

Ye Fan's eyes flickered as he told Nana to have a flamethrower warrior come up and bring some oilcloth or something.

Nana didn't understand why but followed the instructions.

When the flamethrower warrior arrived, Ye Fan ordered the cannon to be fired.

With the five-second countdown, the giant cannon fired!

BOOM~~~!

The giant cannon had a recoil, the turret moved back slightly but quickly returned to its original position, thanks to the recoil reduction device inside.

A deafening blast, and a streak of fire shot straight across the hillside!

********

Wang Huining was hiding at the bend in the mountainside with the main zombie squad under his command.

He was extremely excited at this moment.

Because the two zombies' Level 3 mutations were about to be completed.

No, Xing Hai was already completed; only the Crawler was left.

Xing Hai had evolved to a higher degree earlier and completed first because he devoured first.

His height reached five meters, with long bone spikes on his back, and he even grew a tail under his spine.

His forearms were terrifyingly robust, looking like a complete departure from the human form, a cross between a giant gorilla and a stegosaurus.

"What a magnificent big guy, Boss Xing, you should be a Tyrannosaurus Zombie now."

Xing Hai opened his big mouth and roared, pacing back and forth beside Wang Huining, eager to rush out and massacre inside Dawn City.

"Haha! Boss Xing, don't rush, don't rush, you'll soon get a powerful partner."

"The two of you teaming up, you will ensure that Dawn City becomes rivers of blood!"

Wang Huining's gaze fell on the Crawler.

The Crawler was already in the final stage of evolution.

The body, originally curled up, slowly stretched out.

It measured more than eight meters in length!

The long tongue was like a steel fork, thrashing about two meters long when it shot out.

The claws, once somewhat human-like, were now completely beast-like, with several suction cup-like protrusions between the toes to help stick to walls.

The long tail swung, whipping up clouds of dust on the ground.

It didn't have the overwhelming power of a strength-type mutated zombie, but the body's lines were much more fluid, clearly possessing absolute speed.

"Hahaha! Rise, my darling, it's your time to perform."

The Level 3 Crawler propped itself up, the evolution finally complete.

Lifted its head, ready to prove its strength, it let out a screech!

"Roar~~~!"

Wang Huining suddenly had a chilling sensation creeping over him.

It wasn't coming from the zombie in front of him but an intense sense of danger.

He was initially atop one of the few remaining King Kong Zombies, and at this moment hurriedly ordered the King Kong Zombie to retreat.

Just as the King Kong Zombie took a step back, an unexpected change occurred!

The mountainside to his left suddenly exploded!

A streak of fire pierced through the mountainside, shooting across to the opposite side several hundred meters away!

On this several-hundred-meter path, everything blocking its way vanished!

All crushed!

All annihilated instantly!

And the newly appearing Level 3 Speed Zombie was right in the fire's path.

A mass of blood and flesh rose before Wang Huining's eyes!

The Speed Zombie was cleaved in two at the waist, its midsection gone, leaving only the head, limbs, and tail flying up, then crashing down.

Behind the zombie, the horde of corpses was cleared away on a road several hundred meters long, unusually clean.

The fire flew into the mountain wall, from which came a low, muffled boom, likely an explosion.

Wang Huining stood dazedly still for a long moment.

It wasn't until the head of the Agile Zombie landed before him that he seemed to return to his senses.

"Why...?"

It took Wang Huining a long time to utter this sentence.

Why did the Dawn Army have such a powerful weapon?

Why hadn't they used it earlier?

In that instant, Wang Huining felt an urge to retreat.

Facing such a terrifying weapon, one he'd never seen before, there was no way to fight this battle.

Decisive, he immediately instructed Xing Hai to prepare to flee with him.

Exiting the mountain curve, he glanced toward the Dawn Army.

He saw the massive machine that launched the terrifying shell.

An incredibly large cannon.

But... this cannon seemed to have caught fire!

A group of people from the Dawn Army was there trying to put out the fire.

Wang Huining, who was about to leave, paused his steps.

"Huh...?"
