This one-minute battle would be remembered by Ye Fan for a long time to come.

Xiaoba completed the mission over there, and the War Bear and War Hawk units also completed their tasks, successfully eliminating their assigned Level 3 Zombies.

Udyr's side also finished, and the Light Prism Tower smoothly killed two Tyrannosauruses.

However, one Tyrannosaurus managed to destroy a Light Prism Tower in the process.

This led to a shortage of laser power and failed to completely take it down in time.

This wounded Tyrannosaurus brought over three hundred units of casualties to the Dawn Army, mostly injuries, but it was the most damage a single zombie had inflicted since the founding of the Dawn Army.

Thus, during the attack on the Corpse King, the area around Dawn City was chaotic, with the city wall even encountering a critical situation at one point.

A group of King Kong Zombies led hundreds of Mutated Zombies onto the city wall at a body pile, causing a significant crisis.

At this moment, the watchtower on the second city wall, which had not yet engaged, opened fire, and finally, even the newly produced Night Hawk Helicopter took off to join the battle, barely pulling through the crisis.

This wave was the most dangerous moment of the battle so far. After braving through it, zombies could no longer organize a decent offensive.

It's not that zombies were completely wiped out, but that the Corpse King over there was under such frequent bombardment by the Giant Cannon that he couldn't pay much attention to the front lines anymore.

The Corpse King's energy wasn't limitless; he needed to continuously mobilize the last of the Mutant Bird flocks to block incoming shells, otherwise, even with the protection of the Tyrannosaurus Zombies, he might not survive being hit by the Giant Cannon.

As such, his control over the front line began to sharply decline, and the zombies that had previously obeyed orders started acting on instinct.

With the base being secure, Ye Fan could now calmly mobilize his forces for a final encirclement and annihilation of the zombie horde.

The armored units, which had been entangled with the zombies, launched a full counterattack.

The target of the counterattack was the last tens of thousands of zombies under the Corpse King's command.

The armored units maneuvered and interchanged, using their powerful mobility to gradually erode the zombies' final ranks.

What played a decisive role, however, were two fighter jets.

After the number of Mutant Birds had decreased to a certain level, the two fighter jets finally found an opportunity.

Shen Long surveyed the ground horde from the air with radar.

It was already past seven in the morning, dawn was breaking, and the general situation of the horde could be vaguely discerned.

Soon, he spotted a massive Tyrannosaurus Zombie within the horde.

After all, its conspicuousness was high; he noticed the Tyrannosaurus Zombie seemed to be holding something.

Shen Long immediately tested the waters by firing an air-to-ground missile at the Tyrannosaurus Zombie.

This AR-2 air-to-ground missile had a range of 12 kilometers, streaking across the sky like a stream of light, heading straight for the ground.

Little One immediately sensed danger.

At this time, most of the Mutant Bird flock was still gathered at the front, blocking the Giant Cannon's fire, not expecting danger from the rear.

The missile was too fast, leaving him no time to react, only to have the Tyrannosaurus Zombie protect him as much as possible, curling up tightly.

Boom~~~~!

The missile hit its mark!

The massive Tyrannosaurus Zombie, able to withstand heavy machine guns, autocannons, and rocket launchers, still had little resistance against an air-to-ground missile, with half its body blown away, left dying.

Fortunately, its defense was strong, and the Little One in its arms wasn't taken out.

Little One's body fell, immediately commanding the nearby zombies to cover him.

A large number of zombies began to scatter chaotically; this was to disrupt the Dawn Army's line of sight.

As Shen Long's fighter jet skimmed over, his teammate's fighter jet followed up.

Another missile was launched, but this time it missed locking onto Little One, instead hitting a conspicuous King Kong and other zombies.

Amidst the widespread dust and smoke, Little One's whereabouts were temporarily lost.

At this moment, Little One was finally panicked.

Other zombies didn't know fear or dread, but the intelligent Corpse King did.

With the arrival of the fighter jets, for the first time, he felt an insurmountable sense towards Ye Fan.

Before, it was fear and dread, but he felt he still had hope and a chance.

But now, he felt he had no chance.

Little One's body began to tremble slightly, panicking, unsure of what to do next.

Just then, Wang Huining came over, grabbing Little One.

"Little Bu... I'll call you Xiaobu."

Wang Huining also wanted to call him Little One, but suddenly felt it wasn't very polite, so he simply called him Xiaobu.

Little One lifted his head blankly, not knowing what he intended to do.

"Ye Fan is too powerful. We must leave, get far away from here, and never come back. As long as we stay away from Ye Fan, we'll still be formidable out there."

Xiaobu immediately nodded, at this moment he didn't want to think about anything, just wanted to stay away from this guy named Ye Fan and never ever see him again.

Wang Huining had already prepared and called over his two giant owls. He and Little One each rode one.

"Control all the Mutated Birds and scatter them in all directions."

Wang Huining said, and Little One immediately complied.

At this time, there were still about two thousand Mutated Birds, and under Little One's command, they scattered like heavenly maidens scattering flowers, frantically fleeing in all directions.

And Wang Huining's two owls followed the flock of birds, fleeing southward.

At this moment, two fighter jets returned.

But facing countless escaping Mutated Birds, they didn't know which one to attack for a moment.

This place was already over twenty kilometers from Dawn City, and once this large flock of Mutated Birds dispersed, many soon disappeared beyond the fifty-kilometer range of the radar screen.

About a minute later, the zombie horde showed anomalies again.

The previously somewhat organized zombies instantly turned into a swarm of headless flies.

They stopped attacking the city and instead began devouring, devouring the corpses of their companions.

This proved they no longer had command and could only act on instinct.

Seeing this scene, Ye Fan finally let out a long sigh.

The pilot reported to him that there was no trace of the Corpse King, but Ye Fan wasn't particularly concerned.

Because Wang Huining had been controlled by Ye Fan before, he knew some of Wang Huining's thoughts.

This guy's biggest thought was to stay away from him, away from the Dawn Army.

His fear of him had penetrated to the bone.

Just now, he even sensed Wang Huining's presence, realizing he had left with another Corpse King.

Although it was a bit regrettable, Ye Fan knew that with his current strength, capturing the Corpse King alive in this situation wasn't realistic.

If he were the Corpse King, he wouldn't even need to run too far, just return to Huacheng City District. In just ten to fifteen days, he could probably raise another army, and next time Ye Fan might not have such strong resistance.

The current situation was actually quite good; the Corpse King had gone far away and definitely wouldn't be back in the short term.

It didn't matter where they wanted to cause havoc afterward, as long as Ye Fan was given time, he could develop rapidly, and within a year or two, the zombie hordes wouldn't be considered a threat at all.

So Ye Fan didn't even let the War Eagle Team and the fighter jets pursue them but started focusing on cleaning the battlefield.

Now, outside the entire Dawn City, all the participating zombies added up to just seventy to eighty thousand, just right for the Dawn Army to use for upgrading.

With the main battle coming to an end, the Dawn Army's casualty statistics were also out.

In this four-day city-defense battle, over 2,400 of the Dawn Army were killed and over 5,000 were wounded, with more than 3,000 already returning to the battlefield.

The loss in Money was substantial, as Ye Fan's over ten million was completely exhausted, and after replenishing a batch of wounded soldiers, he had barely over ten thousand Gold left.

The raids by Mutated Birds and Mutant Rats resulted in the loss of hundreds of survivors within the city, but the infection did not spread. Any detected cases were treated immediately if possible, and those who had mutated were directly eliminated.

To ordinary people, this battle seemed to have resulted in heavy losses for the Dawn Army, with total casualties reaching eight thousand, but for Ye Fan, it really meant nothing.

Strictly speaking, his real loss was only in Money, and under the powerful medical unit's treatment, the actual combat losses were roughly only around three thousand people.

With the price of three thousand people, they wiped out a three-million-strong zombie horde; the results of the battle could only be described as glorious.

And now the number of bodies outside the city was countless, and a wave of spoils could be collected to replenish the losses.

Ye Fan assigned the task of clearing the battlefield to the newly enlisted recruits.

He needed to let the recruits quickly grow up to the level of Three-Star.

For instance, the two Night Hawk Helicopters also needed to be upgraded to Three-Star at this time.

Killing zombies, collecting funds, burning bodies, cleaning up the battlefield, and repairing the city walls—these were the main tasks for the Dawn Army in the coming days.

With the end of the main battle, the electricity for the Dawn Army was also restored.

Ye Luo came to the frontline again to conduct television interviews.

Ye Fan did not participate in the interviews; the interview targets were all members of the Dawn Army or survivors within the city.

For instance, the members of the Adventurer team who participated in last night's battle were also a good group of interview subjects.

Zhao Xiaoman, partaking in the interview, said gallantly, "We were never afraid; I know Chief Ye Fan's ability, and victory in this battle was inevitable."

"It's just about eliminating zombies; we've been doing this since the beginning of the apocalypse. All of us voluntarily participated in the battle; no one forced us. We are willing to stand by Dawn City, and I personally am willing to stay by his side to witness each great moment together."

A common survivor also accepted an interview.

"We won! I cheer for our Chief Ye Fan! He is so amazing, a hero, the hope of us survivors! We wish him happiness, hopefully, someone to take care of his personal needs—we all want to see someone providing him with care in life!"

Company Commander Shen of the Guard Company also accepted an interview.

"I am honored to fight by the officer's side. I have personally witnessed how hard he works. He has always lived alone, and he leads a frugal and simple life. He has very low material and physical desires, dedicated to restoring a peaceful world. His spiritual world is noble and great, and despite countless temptations around him, he hasn't even found a companion because he doesn't need those lowly things!"

"I am very willing to relieve the officer of his worries, even though I'm already the Guard Company Commander, I am ready to take on more significant responsibilities at any time."
