Zhou Qing felt utterly unlucky.

Upon receiving orders from Guo Zhun, he traveled all the way here. His mission was to settle in Dawn City and, when the time was right, collaborate with Guo Zhun to take down Dawn City from within and without.

In their plan, there was no concept of a zombie siege.

Because their reconnaissance personnel discovered that the zombie horde had already left.

How could they return after leaving? Zhou Qing never imagined the zombie horde could operate like this.

Seeing the Dawn Army on high alert, Zhou Qing realized they must have known the zombies would return long ago.

From this, it was clear that in terms of intelligence and reconnaissance, the Liberation Army was far behind the Dawn Army.

Ye Fan, standing beside Zhou Qing, observed his alternating expressions of green and red, secretly amused.

However, without showing it on his face, Ye Fan asked, "Captain Zhou, your Liberation Army is really timely. Without your help, it would be a bit difficult for us in the Dawn Army to defend the city. I'll be sure to have our TV station broadcast your heroic defense."

Zhou Qing was stuck in an awkward position since their excuse for being here was to defend the city.

Facing Ye Fan's request, he was momentarily speechless.

Mumbling for a while, seeing Ye Fan about to send reporters, he quickly said, "Hold on, let me consult with Leader Guo."

"Oh? I thought your army came here to help us defend the city. You still need to consult? Very well, I'll wait for your news."

Ye Fan instructed Ye Luo to continue reporting on the Liberation Army's arrival, then left Zhou Qing and went up the southeast wall.

With Ye Fan's extraordinary vision, he could already see the situation of the zombie horde clearly.

The zombie horde was nearing the pre-set minefield.

As Ye Fan expected, the zombies were attacking from the south city, and the other three sides couldn't deploy in large numbers.

He opened the radar at the base, monitoring everything within fifty kilometers.

One glance and Ye Fan felt a bit dizzy.

The size of this zombie horde was simply too large!

Almost the entire radar range was occupied by zombies. Red and purple dots were everywhere.

Red dots were zombies, purple dots were mutant beasts.

Ye Fan originally wanted to find the location of the Zombie King among the horde, but in this situation, it was impossible.

Trying to find the reddest red among three million points was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Looking at the scene before him, Ye Fan took a deep breath: "Three million... the first couple of days are going to be tough."

********

The situation of the zombie army's arrival was already being directly broadcast through Dawn TV Station.

Since the TV programs resumed, the highest ratings were during Dawn City's Spring Festival Gala.

But the ratings at this moment even surpassed the gala!

Within thousands of kilometers, everyone who could receive the TV signal was gathered in front of the TV, watching this catastrophe with heavy hearts.

This zombie horde had already destroyed Crane City, and now it was Dawn City's turn.

If Dawn City were to be destroyed, where would be next?

Even the Rakshasa of Hai Shan Wei, far across Shenlong River, didn't want to see Dawn City obliterated.

Dawn City was already quite strong; if it couldn't withstand, perhaps other bases couldn't either. It would be the true end of the world.

In Oil City, Li Yuntian felt ashamed.

Guo Zhun managed to send support to Dawn City, while all he could do was slander Ye Fan on TV.

Although Guo Zhun could do this because he had troops stationed at Daqing Mountain, in comparison, Li Yuntian felt like a petty person.

"When did that old fox Guo Zhun become so noble? Did I misjudge him before?"

********

Li Yuntian hadn't misjudged. At the Ice City Liberation Army Base, Guo Zhun was already stomping his feet and pounding his chest.

He never imagined the zombie horde would return. Had he known, he wouldn't have sent his five thousand men to their deaths.

The Liberation Army Base now had a population of five hundred thousand, but only had forty thousand armed forces.

The five thousand men were the elite of the elite.

The radio communicator buzzed; it was a call from Zhou Qing.

"Leader, what do we do? We weren't told we'd be fighting zombies when we came."

Guo Zhun remained silent for a long time, his eyes fixed on the TV screen.

On the screen, the Dawn Army's reporter was extensively covering the Liberation Army's noble support.

"In this life-and-death crisis, Liberation Army Leader Guo Zhun has resolutely sent troops to aid us. This act moves heaven and earth, and we in Dawn City will remember it forever."

"Let's all uphold the humanitarian spirit, unite against the enemy, and fight the zombies to the end..."

"Leader Ye calls on us to learn from Leader Guo. Our Dawn City superstar, Miss Xu Weiwei, has specially composed a new song for Leader Guo, titled 'An Outstanding Branch,' to express respect for him. Please enjoy..."

In Guo Zhun's eyes, appeared Xu Weiwei, whom he saw as a defector.

She shed her sweet image, donning camouflage, performing live in the streets of Dawn City.

Her voice was melodious, and the tune beautiful.

"Shout out at injustice! Why are you so outstanding~~~?"

Guo Zhun's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably. Ye Fan was ruthless, binding him tightly to his war chariot with no way off.

Back with Zhou Qing, he continued to ask: "Leader, say something! We can't just die here. If we charge out now, we might still have hope of escaping back to Daqing Mountain, right?"

Guo Zhun took a deep breath. There was no way out now. He had shot himself in the foot, and could only leave Zhou Qing and his people there.

"Zhou Qing, stay and fight alongside Dawn City."

The radio turned off, leaving Zhou Qing standing there, stunned, almost unable to believe his ears.

Was he really being left to die here?

Thinking about the past loyalty towards Guo Zhun, only to find out it was not as important as Guo Zhun's own reputation, made Zhou Qing's anger surge.

"Guo Zhun! You son of a b*tch! I XXX…!"

Footsteps came from behind him, Zhou Qing turned around and saw Ye Fan approaching.

"Captain Zhou, have you made a decision?"

Zhou Qing didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Ye Fan suddenly said, "Captain Zhou, it might be too late to leave now, so how about this, I promise you here, I will definitely ensure you and your men return to Daqing Mountain safely, what do you think?"

Feeling exposed, Zhou Qing's face flushed with redness.

Faced with Ye Fan's magnanimity, he felt somewhat ashamed.

A surge of indescribable emotions welled up inside, Zhou Qing suddenly raised his head, "Leader Ye, I won't say much more. Let us defend this section of the city wall! If one day we return to Daqing Mountain, I will surely bring a great surprise to you, Leader Ye!"

Ye Fan patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder and smiled.

********

Little One led its massive army to a location ten kilometers from Dawn City.

The large city ahead was its target for this trip.

Inside the city were hundreds of thousands of living beings, all of which were precious resources for zombies.

And the humans it both hated and feared were also inside this city.

However, it was not as afraid now, because with nearly three million subordinates, this city was no match.

This time, by going to Harvest Reservoir, it gained an additional five hundred thousand fat zombies.

These zombies capable of spraying poisonous water would be its critical tool for siege, bound to deal a heavy blow to humans!

The zombie horde needed no mobilization or morale boost.

Little One raised one finger, pointing towards Dawn City!

With a command in its mind, the zombie vanguard immediately received its will!

The rolling tide of corpses surged forward!

The first landmine exploded under these circumstances!

A zombie stepped on it, and the flash of fire directly blew away its lower half.

Then followed a series of continuous explosions!

Seeing the bursts of fire, Little One instinctively shrank back, recalling the scenes from Pinggang Town.

It would not personally be on the front line; instead, it hid behind a hillside.

It did not fear losses; it had countless subordinates, losing some made no difference.

Braving the landmine fields of the Dawn Army, the zombie horde began a suicidal charge!

Now, zombies were much stronger than in the early days of the apocalypse, capable of quickly moving rather than shambling awkwardly.

Thus, the zombie horde could spread out, even if landmines kept exploding, they couldn't take out a large group at once.

After all, zombies do not fear getting injured.

Unless they are directly blown up or have their legs blasted off, making them crawl slowly, they cannot be stopped from advancing.

Seeing this scene, Ye Fan realized that the minefield was only capable of weakening the zombies, but not decisively stopping them.

To truly achieve victory, they had to rely on the firepower of the Dawn Army.

With zombies stepping through the minefield at the front, the zombie army behind gradually entered the artillery's range.

"Artillery ready! Open fire!"

The fifty cannons set up inside Dawn City opened fire.

Boom boom boom boom~~~~!

The roar of the God of War echoed through the clouds!

In the minefield's outer area, large fireballs soared into the air!

Compared to the power of landmines, the firepower of artillery was undeniably greater.

The cannons now fired exclusively incendiary shells, and against densely packed zombies, flames were undoubtedly an effective weapon!

Each fireball that burst open would engulf dozens if not tens of zombies.

Zombies did not understand putting out fires, and even if engulfed in flame, they would continue forward.

But with large numbers of comrades ahead, they couldn't get very far before being incinerated and losing all body functions, falling dead!

Meanwhile, the cannons seemed relentless, continuously producing deathly roars.

The artillery crews acted swiftly; as soon as the first round ended, the second shells were immediately loaded.

Armored units' Commander Liu Chengjun personally took charge of commanding.

"Second round! Fire!"

Boom boom boom boom~~~!

"Third round, target at one o'clock direction, fire!"

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~~~~!

Vast swathes of fire consumed the zombie horde, devoured the plains, while thick black smoke began to permeate the skies.

Seeing this, Little One's feral brutality was unleashed.

It let out a roar from its throat!

The mutant rats on the ground began their charge, massively detonating minefields!

The mutant birds spiraling in the sky pressed towards Dawn City like a black cloud!

It would not be defeated; it aimed to capture Dawn City in the shortest time!

The battle had just begun, and it was already in full swing!
