"Fire!"

With the command issued, the Dawn's justice cannon finally fired!

A shell flew like a meteor across the night sky, heralding the start of the counterattack.

In the darkness, the shell streaked past, targeting the gathering of fat zombies.

These fat zombies could self-detonate, but they would also explode upon strong impact, triggering a chain reaction.

Ye Fan gave up on the Mutant Rhino because he noticed how the fat zombies were entangled together.

A shell flew out, directly exploding in the center of the fat zombie horde.

Bang~~~~!

The ground trembled!

A colossal explosion rocked the sky, and a fireball ascended into the air.

The fat zombies situated at the explosion center were annihilated by this one shell.

Their massive bellies, whether ruptured by shrapnel or broken by the shock wave, would explode.

When the central fat zombies exploded, the adjacent ones were affected too.

The highly corrosive acid sprayed out, instantly riddling the nearby fat zombies with holes, causing them to explode again.

Thus, a chain reaction unfolded instantly.

Boom boom boom boom~~~!

Pop pop pop pop~~~!

The thousands of fat zombies instantly turned to ash!

Acid flew everywhere, and clusters of green liquid sprayed all around, resembling ripples spreading rapidly across a lake from a thrown stone.

This group of fat zombies accounted for nearly half of the total fat zombies, and they were wiped out by a single giant cannon shot!

Not only were they eliminated, but a large group of zombies nearby was also affected by this explosion, with nearly ten thousand losses.

An area once densely packed with zombies had now become a hell on earth.

Bodies decayed rapidly, severed limbs and torsos littering the ground.

The overwhelming stench of acid and decay drove the Mutated Birds in the air to flee, unwilling to approach this area.

Seizing this opportunity, a flare from the Dawn Army soared into the sky.

When the devastated battlefield appeared before everyone's eyes, they were astonished.

Ye Fan, who had seen the area cleared on the radar, found the actual sight even more shocking.

The impact of this shell was truly astounding, even he hadn't anticipated it.

"Fantastic!"

Ye Fan excitedly pumped his fist, his heart surging with emotion.

As for the Dawn Army soldiers, witnessing this scene made them cheer with excitement.

"Oh whoa~~~~!"

The soldiers' cheers echoed far, while within the city, people closely monitoring the battle continued to cheer.

Even Ye Fan's enemies couldn't help but sigh with relief upon witnessing this scene.

Along with a sigh of relief, they felt a bit envious, acknowledging Ye Fan's relentless efforts, this single shot felled at least twenty thousand zombies, significantly alleviating a once precarious situation.

Not only did the Dawn Army's morale soar, but people's confidence skyrocketed, and it dealt a severe blow to the zombies' arrogance.

The Little One witnessing this from afar caused the entire zombie sentiment to falter.

The original attack formation instantly fell apart; losing the crucial fat zombie unit made the original plan unworkable.

The zombies receiving attack orders did not stop advancing towards Dawn City despite the fat zombie's annihilation.

However, the area of the fat zombies' annihilation had turned into a death swamp.

The highly corrosive acid flowed everywhere, quickly eroding the feet of other zombies, rotting their ankles, causing them to collapse.

Once on the ground, their bodies too were corroded, becoming part of this decayed wasteland.

The Little One wanted to order the zombies to retract, at least to bypass this area if advancing.

However, the two hundred thousand zombie horde had already advanced too far, making retreating challenging.

The frontline zombies, somewhat wounded, had reduced mobility, failing to withdraw smoothly and becoming entangled with the following horde.

This is the difference between zombies and the Red Alert Team; their low intelligence lacks the agility of human brains, unable to adapt at critical moments, descending into chaos.

Ye Fan also realized this opportunity.

"Whether we make it through tonight depends on this moment!"

"Line up the artillery and don't spare any ammunition!"

"War Hawk Team, take flight to counter the Mutated Birds approaching."

"All air units, engage fully, strike hard!"

Several orders were issued, and the Dawn Army immediately commenced a counterattack.

All artillery within the city began a new round of shelling against the zombie horde.

The cannons led the way, followed by rocket launchers, with mortars adding to the artillery barrage.

Bang bang bang bang~~~~!

Amidst the roaring artillery, the outskirts plunged into another sea of fire.

The zombies bogged down, unable to advance or retreat, once again became sitting ducks.

Countless explosions erupted within the zombie horde, resulting in massive and evident destruction.

Groups of zombies fell in the barrage of artillery fire, even Little One found it overwhelming.

At this moment, it finally made a mistake.

Seeing that retreat was difficult, it issued another order for the zombies to continue attacking. After all, it was nighttime, and if they didn't take the opportunity to attack now, it would be much harder in the morning.

The two contradictory commands made the already chaotic horde even more disordered.

The front part of the horde was retreating, while the back was advancing, causing a congestion that did nothing but make it easier for the Dawn Army to attack.

Several rounds of artillery fire inflicted heavy casualties on the zombies, and then the planes from Dawn City took to the skies.

The rare death of the fat zombie caused the Mutated Birds to retreat. When else would the air force take off if not now?

The upgraded gunship became a Heroic Unit, its firepower on the plane having doubled.

The gunship led the way, looking like a giant dragonfly spewing fire all over the sky, bursting forth with a storm of bullets.

Streams of bullet rain poured down from the planes, with every soldier gripping a heavy machine gun, launching a fierce barrage on the countless hordes of zombies below!

Bang bang bang bang~~~!

Wherever they arrived, it was like a hurricane passing through, cutting down swathes of zombies like mowing grass.

Behind the gunship, almost all the aircraft capable of flight from Dawn City had taken off.

Helicopters flew like a swarm of large moths, quickly joining the rare extermination battle.

Everyone knew that the corrosive aura from the fat zombie would soon dissipate, and then a large number of Mutated Birds would return, making this a fleeting opportunity.

So now was the best time, they just needed to fire at will.

The air-to-ground sweep unfolded immediately.

In the distance from the flight formation, Ye Fan's newly acquired War Eagle Team flew to intercept any approaching Mutated Birds.

They would neither be too close nor too far, with the aim of ensuring the success of this raid.

Corpses littered the land!

The zombie minions were useless under such conditions, completely suppressed by the Dawn Army's firepower, unable to put up any effective resistance, just being slaughtered relentlessly!

Ye Fan stood on the city wall, observing the chaos below, closing his right eye, and using his left eye to focus stringently on targets on the battlefield.

He hadn't forgotten that there was a Mutant Rhino in the horde, and he needed to take this chance to eliminate it.

Scanning the battlefield with one eye like a pirate, he quickly spotted the rhino.

The rhino and its herd had bypassed the swamp formed by the fat zombie, advancing from the southeast.

"Southeast, ten o'clock direction, send two helicopters to pin down that rhino!"

Two helicopters immediately flew over, catching up with the group of Mutant Beasts, and locked onto the rhino from above.

The machine gun bullets rained down, causing small bursts of blood on the Mutant Rhino, but it wasn't lethal, only superficial wounds.

However, the rhino's speed slowed down, making it the perfect time to shoot it down.

"Dawn Justice, another shot, send this old bull back to its maker!"

After a successful shot, Dawn Justice reoriented its cannon towards the rhino.

"Fire!"

Dawn Justice fired a shot!

Boom~~!

A ball of fire erupted, hitting the center of the herd.

The largest Mutant Rhino wasn't killed, but was flipped over by the bombardment, now struggling to roll back upright.

"Helicopters, keep firing, don't let it get up, another round!"

In the Inner City District, the soldiers urgently reloaded the ammunition.

The helicopters abandoned attacking other Mutant Bulls, concentrating all their firepower on suppressing the rhino, its bulk rendered temporarily incapacitated by the barrage.

Dawn Justice's cannon was reloaded once more, unleashing another projectile.

This time it hit its mark precisely!

The huge shell directly struck the rhino; regardless of its elephantine size, it was torn apart!

Chunks of beef flew through the air!

Mostly well-done, with a few rare pieces.

A rhinoceros horn over two meters long spiraled down from the sky.

Even after the Giant Cannon's shelling, the rhino horn wasn't shattered, indicating it's undoubtedly a valuable item.

Ye Fan casually ordered a few War Eagles to fly over and fetch the rhino horn for him.

He hadn't yet decided its use, but he definitely wouldn't use it like some African tribesmen, tying it to that area below their waist.

Even Ye Fan couldn't find practical use for a rhinoceros horn over two meters long.

With this Mutant Rhino dead, the herd seemed to lose its leader, scattering in all directions.

Without the threat of the Mutant Rhino, Ye Fan knew that Dawn City would hold this wave.

This horde of two hundred thousand zombies had endured the explosion of the fat zombie, artillery tilling the ground, and relentless air strikes, losing seventy to eighty thousand.

Without the fat zombie and the Mutant Rhino, they couldn't capture Dawn City by themselves.

Even if the Corpse King wanted to regroup, back and forth, tonight would be over.

Sure enough, as the Mutated Birds finally returned, the planes of the Dawn Army withdrew smoothly, loaded with victory as if they had completed a honeymoon trip.

At this moment, the sky finally turned a pearly white hue, the sun about to rise.

The harshest night had finally passed.
