This is the first debut of the Dawn Army's tower-mounted machine gun.

As soon as it appeared, it stunned the world.

Li Yuntian from the Storm Army was dumbfounded.

Rikov from Hai Shan Wei looked serious.

Guo Zhun of the Liberation Army suddenly realized at this moment what a foolish mistake he had made.

He wanted to deploy troops into the Dawn Army, but with such firepower from the Dawn Army, wiping out his unit would be as easy as pie.

Yan Zhihuan from Daqing Mountain simply became a passive observer, even though he had announced joining the Liberation Army, it was involuntary; if Ye Fan wanted to take over Daqing Mountain, he would surrender obediently.

In Dawn City, Zhou Qing's face showed a hint of struggle, which has now completely vanished.

Good birds choose trees to perch on, and since Guo Zhun wanted to abandon them, then let it be.

He couldn't do anything but abandon them; Zhou Qing had decided to join the Dawn Army.

Looking at the Liberation Army badge on him, he ripped it off.

********

Of the two hundred thousand zombies and mutant beasts, less than eighty thousand managed to reach the outskirts of Dawn City.

More than one hundred twenty thousand zombies fell under the artillery assault.

Especially on the ground, after the machine guns had bombarded for a while, the zombies charged forward as the fire ceased.

The machine gun ceased fire to conserve bullets, these ground forces are better left to the wall defenders to handle.

As soon as the machine gun stopped, the heavy machine guns on the walls started firing.

Shell casings flew everywhere across the walls, with various firearms sweeping back and forth.

This hundred-meter stretch of wall became a graveyard for zombies.

It wasn't like when the Dawn Army used to defend the city walls; now they had plenty of manpower and firepower, with no fear of zombie invasions.

Moreover, this ice wall was piled to a height of ten meters; it wasn't easy for zombies to climb over it using their corpses.

Having completed the daytime battle, the first battalion has retreated, and now the second and third battalions are taking turns guarding the southern wall.

If not for the mutated birds in the sky, these tens of thousands of zombies wouldn't even be worth mentioning.

The mutated birds and zombies working together still caused a bit of trouble.

When the wall defenders were taking heavy strikes on the zombies, the mutated birds swooped down.

Compared to when facing the mutated birds alone during the day, defending this time was slightly more difficult as they had to deal with both ground and aerial enemies.

However, the Dawn Army had countermeasures; some tanks and armored cars were moved close to the walls.

The high-caliber machine guns on these vehicles formed a line of defense in the sky.

Ye Fan had focused heavily on the anti-aircraft setups.

He believed the wall defenses were tight; as long as the air wasn't breached and the mutated birds didn't rampage into the city, this battle could be held.

The pre-arranged setup proved very effective; the mutated birds were shot down to pieces from a thousand-meter height, with only a few managing to come down.

Even if there were some casualties, it was well within the Dawn Army's tolerance range.

Ye Fan's attention remained locked on the zombies attacking from the ground.

Under intense strikes, the number of ordinary zombies started to dwindle.

In such a situation, one could see the difference between mutated zombies and ordinary zombies; those managing to survive and approach the walls were mostly mutated zombies.

The King Kong Zombies and Crawlers appeared at this moment!

Within the zombie horde, several tall black shadows moved forward.

The first wave of flares was about to fall, and the second wave had been launched.

Ye Fan had a large quantity of these flares, and every mortar soldier produced came equipped with flares; he merely bought some spares to ensure the city wouldn't be plunged into darkness tonight.

Under the swaying light of the flares, King Kong Zombies were exposed with no place to hide.

And the Dawn Army's cameras promptly captured them, directly filming the King Kong Zombies.

The appearance of King Kong Zombies prompted an audible gasp from the viewers.

These Level 2 Mutated Zombies were now found in the wild; King Kong and Crawlers have become nightmares for many human bases.

The earlier Armored Zombies and Agile Zombies were troubling enough; people had barely found ways to deal with them, but now Level 2 Zombies had emerged.

Some small bases or settlements that could have survived encountered Level 2 Zombies and faced annihilation.

Even sniper rifles were helpless against these zombies; King Kong's defense was super strong, while Crawlers moved incredibly fast.

Even major bases found these zombies extremely troublesome.

Thus, everyone watching was worried as the King Kong and Crawlers appeared.

"Aim carefully! Focus fire with the machine guns! Fire!"

Zhongjing ordered again, and several towers near King Kong Zombies opened fire simultaneously.

The machine guns, which had just paused a while, began roaring again!

Barrage of bullets linked directly to the King Kong Zombies like chains.

"Clang clang clang clang~~~!"

Bullets hit King Kong's skin, sparking at first, soon followed by a spray of blood!

The resilient skin of King Kong Zombies could withstand one or two shots but could not endure the sustained barrage of the machine guns!

Very soon, the tough skin was shattered, and bullets entered the body, destroying all its physical tissues!

Penetration!

Destruction!

The crowd in front of the TV erupted into cheers!

Because in their understanding, this type of zombie was the strongest, and if the Dawn Army could kill the King Kong, then nothing could threaten them anymore.

The Crawlers were more difficult to deal with in this environment than the King Kong because of their rapid speed, making it hard for bullets to hit them.

But they couldn't withstand the dense firepower.

Zhongjing was determined not to let the Crawlers get close to the city walls, focusing heavy machine guns on them, while snipers picked them off one by one.

There were at least two snipers on each watchtower, and these Three-Star Snipers could essentially hit whatever they aimed at.

Blood blossoms continuously burst on the Crawlers, making their speed increasingly slow.

Once they slowed down, the tongues of the heavy machine guns would follow, and under the frenzied strafing fire, the Crawlers were also smashed to pieces!

Although the Dawn Army could focus their fire on the King Kong and Crawlers, the horde numbering two hundred thousand zombies was not so easily wiped out, and large numbers of zombies still approached Dawn City.

The firepower pouring from the city walls nearly reached its limit, as the machine cannon roared again, turning the area below the walls into a living hell.

At this point, there was no need to aim carefully; they just had to pull the trigger below, and they would surely hit something.

The zombies tried to build a pile of corpses below the city walls, but the Dawn Army would not give them the chance, as scouts continuously bombarded them with grenades. Each time the zombies accumulated even slightly, they were immediately blown flat.

The air and ground fired intensely at the same time, and the firepower of the Dawn Army was impenetrable.

The attacking zombie horde was continuously depleted under this high-intensity attack, becoming fewer and fewer.

The situation on the front lines seemed to lack any suspense; the zombie horde would not be able to break through Dawn City in this wave.

But Ye Fan did not relax. The night was not yet halfway over, still benefiting the zombies. He had to remain aware and watch what further tactics the zombies might attempt.

********

Little One looked in the direction of Dawn City, filled with anger and fear.

As a Level 3 Command Zombie, Little One had developed considerable command abilities, even capable of designing attack formations and understanding zombie pairings.

He even knew to attack under the cover of darkness since he discovered that humans were like blind men in the night.

But upon arrival here, this tactic failed, as illumination flares completely disrupted his plans.

His mind was in chaos now; he could easily overrun many human bases, but facing Ye Fan, he felt uncertain.

This human's firepower was too strong; two hundred thousand zombies, including several King Kongs and Crawlers, hardly made a splash and were about to be wiped out by humans.

He had not yet used all his trump cards; during the first wave of zombie attacks, he hadn't deployed the Fat Zombies, nor had he used the large Mutant Beasts and a few Tyrannosaurus Zombies under his command.

Yet at this moment, he was not entirely confident. Even if he used them, could he certainly achieve victory?

Gazing at the human city spewing forth torrents of metal, Little One wanted to attempt it but hesitated.

Anxiously pacing in circles, he occasionally glanced towards Dawn City.

A Mutated Bird flew overhead, skimming past Little One and the angle of a flare.

Sight briefly went dark.

Little One froze for a moment, though his scarlet eyes suddenly lit up!

He seemed to have found a flaw of the humans!

********

The first wave of the zombie siege neared its end.

The zombies under the walls couldn't retreat and could only slowly wait for the Dawn Army to eliminate them.

Ye Fan checked the time; it was almost midnight, nearing twelve o'clock.

If they could hold out for a few more hours, the rest of the night would be much easier.

After all, this night battle was a severe drain on human stamina and energy.

And just at that moment, the situation changed again.

In the sky, a group of larger Mutant Birds took to the air.

These Mutant Birds flapped their wings and headed straight for the flares in the sky!

The flares, using time fuses, ignited propellant at a predetermined position in the air, releasing the flare with a parachute system, slowly descending.

The illuminating agent emitted a strong light, covering a large area.

Currently, the Dawn Army relied on flares to continue fighting the zombies.

These Mutant Birds flew over, and Ye Fan even saw a giant eagle open its mouth wide and swallow a flare whole!

The battlefield plunged into darkness!

A gasp came from in front of the television, and people's hearts leapt to their throats!

Without a light source, human vision could not compare to zombies at night.

If this continued, Dawn City was in danger!

Seeing this, Ye Fan realized he had underestimated this zombie leader.

To think it could come up with a move to counter the flares; this zombie's intelligence was like that of a child.

The flares could not be allowed to be devoured by the Mutated Birds. Ye Fan knew the focus for the latter half of the night was to contest air superiority with the zombies!
