As the minefields outside the southern gate of Dawn City exploded, the zombie siege on the evening of the sixth day of the first lunar month finally began.

Little One, personally continued to issue commands to the zombie horde this time.

Since talking with Wang Huining, Little One felt as if his mind had become clear, and his thinking became much sharper.

He knew why he was here, not to kill or eat people, but to eliminate the fear in his heart.

Ye Fan, this person, had left a significant psychological shadow on him back when they were in the town.

It was out of fear that he came over immediately once he had the ability, to strangle the danger in its cradle while Ye Fan was not fully fledged.

He now hated Ye Fan, and feared Ye Fan.

Now he personally commanded because his fear had reached a certain level.

Although he just had the intelligence of a half-grown child, he was still smarter than a zombie.

He could even think that the people at Dawn City must also be exhausted, and they might be able to take it down tonight in one fell swoop.

As long as he eliminated Ye Fan, he could get rid of his inner fear, and Little One felt that his control ability had hope to rise to a new level.

Therefore, under his command, today's zombies erupted with stronger combat power.

Walking at the front of the ranks were all ordinary zombies.

Even if it was a mutated zombie, or even a Level 2 mutation, stepping on mines would easily blow off their legs; it's better to let ordinary zombies go.

Ye Fan's 300,000 landmines were indeed formidable, but 300,000 zombies were enough to stomp them all out!

In Little One's zombie horde attacking the city, aside from the mutated birds and mutant beasts like the mutant rats, there were 400,000 zombies.

Among them, the number of mutated zombies, Level 2 mutations, and fat zombies was as many as 100,000.

These 100,000 zombies were all at the rear of the ranks.

The remaining 300,000 zombies directly served as cannon fodder this time.

Little One watched expressionlessly at the booming explosions outside Dawn City, completely unmoved.

After nearly an hour passed, the sounds of explosions gradually subsided.

Little One, waiting impatiently, suddenly opened his mouth and let out a roar!

Beside him, the king of the mutant rats quickly rushed out.

In his horde, 150,000 mutant rats served as the vanguard of this siege.

With scarlet eyes, the 150,000 rats charged toward Dawn City like a pack of wolves in the night, squealing eerily.

Meanwhile, Dawn Army's cannons also began to fire at this time.

Clumps of deadly red flowers blossomed on the ground, further ravaging the already crater-ridden land from the minefield blasts.

Mutant rats were blown to pieces, constantly screaming as they were blasted skyward.

However, the speed of these large mutant rats far exceeded that of ordinary zombies after mutation, and their running speed was akin to that of wolfdogs; no matter how fierce Dawn Army's artillery coverage was, it could not annihilate them all.

Little One let out another roar, and in the sky, a large number of mutated birds also began to swoop toward Dawn City.

150,000 mutated birds spread out in a dispersed formation, leaving no opportunity for Dawn Army's flamethrowers to burn them in patches.

Quickly, the swarm of mutated birds surpassed the progress of the mutant rats, flying near Dawn City.

The city erupted like a volcano once again, as golden streams of bullets in the night sky resembled countless blooming fireworks, continuously taking down the incoming mutated birds.

Yet the sheer number of mutated birds and mutant rats was overwhelming, totaling up to 300,000, making it impossible for Dawn Army to wipe them all out in a short time.

Some mutated birds, using their numerical advantage, directly broke through Dawn City's defenses and flew into the city itself.

Following Little One's command, they didn't even attack the defenders but instead targeted the city's residents.

These fearless monstrous birds charged at residential windows; once they broke into a house, the residents inside had a hard time fending off their attacks.

Within a short time, thousands of residences inside Dawn City were under siege from the mutated birds.

Like zombies, mutated birds also carried the virus, capable of causing infections with their attacks.

Meanwhile, using the cover from the mutated birds, mutant rats also pushed forward.

Under Little One's command, the mutant rats dug hundreds of tunnels and infiltrated Dawn City from various directions, no longer confined to the vicinity of the Ice City Wall.

They couldn't enter the Inner City District, because there was another wall there; its foundation was more than five meters deep, making it extremely difficult to break through.

But causing destruction in the Outer City District was sufficient; he wanted to create chaos within Dawn City, rendering the Dawn Army unable to respond effectively.

Sure enough, this tactic worked, and soon chaos began to break out inside Dawn City.

Even from a distance, Little One could sense the turmoil in Dawn City, a scene that hadn't occurred in recent days.

Even the defensive formations on the city walls showed signs of loosening. At least some of those military dogs and eagles, always ready to pounce on the mutated birds and rats, had to be dispatched to deal with the creatures invading the city.

Wang Huining stood beside Little One, involuntarily admiring him.

This was truly the real Corpse King; his growth speed was terrifyingly strong.

These tactical methods were beyond even his imagination.

As long as Ye Fan still cared about Dawn City's residents, having the city breached tonight wouldn't be surprising.

BOOM~~~!

A red line of fire shot into the sky from inside Dawn City.

It was a long-range cannon attack; evidently, Dawn Army had noticed the abnormality here and launched a deadly strike.

Wang Huining's heart grew solemn; he knew this cannon—it was from the town's giant cannon in Dawn City.

Before he could say anything, Little One prepared swiftly as well.

A large group of mutated birds suddenly gathered in the air, forming a thick layer, and actually detonated shells in mid-air.

Boom~~~!

A rain of blood fell from the sky, and the protective layer composed of about a hundred mutated birds was directly blown to dust, but it did not harm the area where Little One was on the ground.

Wang Huining was astonished, mouth agape, looking at the tens of thousands of mutated birds left by Little One, and couldn't help but admire him immensely.

The power of gathering hundreds of mutated birds together to intercept enemy shells in the air was a brilliant idea.

As long as the shells exploded a hundred meters away, the shrapnel was deadly to humans, but posed no threat to zombies.

The number of mutated birds here was over ten thousand, enough to intercept hundreds of shells from the Dawn Army, and he didn't believe Ye Fan's big cannon could fire indefinitely!

The balance of victory in war began to rapidly tilt toward Little One.

....

"Quick, quick, quick! Everyone, get moving!"

Shen Ruihui of the Guard Company, with the entire Guard Company, had rushed into the city's clean-up operation against the mutated birds and mutant rats.

It wasn't just the Guard Company that was mobilized; even the paratrooper units of the Dawn Army, the engineer units, and anyone who could hold a gun were urgently assembled.

Even the cooking troops picked up handguns and started shooting at the mutated birds in the sky.

Casualties had already occurred in the city, and even some survivors were infected. If the virus spread in the city, it would be a huge problem.

But there were too many of these ferocious mutated birds and mutant rats; relying on them alone was becoming overwhelming.

Ye Fan had urgently started increasing the number of military dogs, as they were the best choice to deal with these sporadic mutated beasts without getting infected.

However, this also consumed the remaining funds of Ye Fan, which was very grim.

At this time, many people in Dawn City began voluntarily stepping up.

Right on the Avenue of Dawn, Shen Ruihui encountered several adventurer squads.

Qin Yumo, Zhao Xiaoman, Dai Yu...

Each mutant-led hunting squad proactively assisted the garrison in eliminating zombies.

Don't underestimate these adventurer squads; they were at least Level 1 mutations, and some had even reached Level 2.

Individually, these people were not inferior to the Three-Star Soldiers of the Dawn Army.

"Company Commander Shen, we're here to help you!"

Shen Ruihui looked at these people and frowned slightly: "What are you doing here? Be careful not to get infected."

"Don't worry, Company Commander Shen. We've battled these zombie mutant beasts countless times. We won't act recklessly, just help you as much as possible to clear the mutated birds and rats near residential areas."

"Haha! We're also part of Dawn City. Please, Officer Ye Fan and Company Commander Shen, don't forget about us in the future when these ordinary mutated bird beasts are dealt with!"

Dozens of adventurer squads, with thousands of mutants, eagerly joined the battle and were all full of vitality.

There's no denying, the participation of these people did indeed alleviate the internal pressure of Dawn City significantly.

But the situation remained dire, and while Shen Ruihui and the others were struggling in battle, he received orders from Ye Fan.

"Shen Ruihui, concentrate all your forces on defending the West District, leave the East District vacant."

"Ah! Vacant? Sir, although there aren't many people in the East District, if it's left vacant....."

"Xiaoba has made me starve for several days now, do you understand what to do?"

"Ah! Understood!"

Shen Ruihui instantly became spirited, focusing his forces on defending the West District.

In doing so, the mutated bird beasts that felt the strong resistance here began to shift towards the East District.

Shen Ruihui personally led a group of demolition engineers to the core area near the Seven-Star River.

A series of explosive charges were set up to blow open the ice-covered surface of the Seven-Star River.

Then Shen Ruihui personally went over to open the ice-covered sluice gate, releasing Xiaoba.

Xiaoba was a marine creature and couldn't stay out of water for long. Unfortunately, because of the freezing weather, the river surface had been locked in ice, trapping him in the core area's pond without space to move.

Now that the river surface was blown open, he could rush out through the river.

Sure enough, with the river blown open, Xiaoba immediately propelled through the waves and the floating ice out of the river channel.

The demolition engineers continued blowing open the river, extending all the way to the Outer City District.

Reaching the Outer City, Xiaoba went ashore.

At this time, a large number of mutated birds and mutant rats had arrived in the East District.

Seeing food crawling all over the sky and ground, Xiaoba excitedly roared, then waved its thirty-three to forty-meter-long tentacles like an ancient behemoth, crawling up from the river.

When it comes to eating, no one in the Dawn Army was a match for Xiaoba.

Eight tentacles swung like Titanic serpents, and the mutant rats and mutated birds were easily swallowed like candy.

All eight tentacles lashed out, leaving havoc in their wake!

For a moment, the East District was filled with the sound of crunching and munching.

At this time, the riverbank region of the Seven-Star River in the East District was not yet overly developed, as it was reserved as a commercial area with not many residents.

Only a few people, in the darkness, saw a mountain-like marine creature rampaging through the city, devouring recklessly.

From today, a legend of a sea monster remains in the East District.
