After the evacuation on the northern gate's highway and the airport, all the retreat pressure of Ice City focused on the railway here.

The advantage of doing so was successfully avoiding the massive zombie horde at the northern gate and the nearly million-strong zombie group at the airport.

Due to the speed and distance factors of the zombie horde, it would be at least three hours before these two groups reach East Station after missing their target.

However, danger still exists. With a three hundred thousand zombie horde approaching East Station, it would be equally tragic if the last hundreds of thousands of survivors failed to evacuate in time.

If Ye Fan hadn't come to the rescue from the start, the current situation wouldn't be as problematic, and the evacuation would be deemed a huge success, albeit with some minor flaws.

In the eyes of many, this was the most challenging moment for the Dawn Army. They could abandon the last of these hundreds of thousands of people and leave, but that would certainly leave them with a bad reputation.

However, if they stayed, they must confront the zombies head-on without city walls and many heavy weapons, which would be suicidal.

So at this moment, even the people of Dawn City wanted to see what choice Ye Fan would make.

As for Guo Zhun, who was driving an armed mining vehicle amidst the zombies, he was here to watch Ye Fan's chaos and create trouble. His mood was extremely relaxed at this moment. Though he was no longer the leader of the Liberation Army, he felt as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted off his shoulders and a sense of freedom.

......

The square in front of the battle was already in chaos; even the Dawn Army could only firmly control the situation in front of the waiting room. They couldn't manage the chaos in other places.

After this evacuation, it's certain that many people will die because of stampedes, which is unavoidable.

Ye Fan stood on the second floor, constantly arranging the actions of the Dawn Army.

The Second Field Corps was still performing diversion tasks, and the First Field Corps had been dispatched to the train station.

Ye Fan issued an order for the First Field Corps to temporarily build a defense line behind the crowd, at the road in front of the station at the back of the square.

The constructed items were some abandoned vehicles, quickly set up into a few lanes of traffic as temporary shields to block the zombies' attack.

Soldiers of the First Field Corps swiftly entered the position, building a defensive line for the crowd on the square.

The moment this defense line was established, the survivors' mentality immediately changed.

The previously chaotic crowd suddenly calmed down, at least for now, as the zombies hadn't arrived yet, and they saw the army protecting them.

The crowd erupted into cheers, chanting the name of the Dawn Army, chanting the name of Ye Fan.

As for the earlier Guo Zhun, he had already been completely forgotten by them.

He had become a thing of the past; they were about to become members of Dawn City.

With the protection of the troops, the evacuation efficiency increased slightly.

As Ye Fan orchestrated the crowd's departure, thirty-plus trains that had been going back and forth between Ice City and Dawn City over the past few days were either returning or on their way back, queuing and awaiting orders at Ice City Station.

Each train could take away three thousand people, and it was expected that the final evacuation would be completed within two and a half hours.

However, some Dawn Army leaders were concerned. One regiment was trying to hold back a zombie horde of three hundred thousand, which seemed a bit far-fetched.

But no one would oppose the decisions made by the Commander-in-Chief. They would only offer some reference suggestions. Since Ye Fan had decided, they had no objections.

People were still continuously coming out and boarding the train at the waiting hall, but Ye Fan's attention was no longer there.

Standing on the rooftop of the waiting hall, he could already see the sprawling zombie horde in the distance.

The three hundred thousand zombie horde, though not so large compared to today's hordes, still reminded Ye Fan of the time when three hundred thousand zombies besieged the city.

The black tide of zombies spread along the highway, with the abandoned city behind them.

The Jiangbei District, which Guo Zhun had previously developed quite nicely, had now been laid to waste amidst this zombie siege.

Not only caused by zombie destruction, but also because of the mob within the city who committed murder and arson, leading to fires in vast areas, massive power failures, and leaving the city in ruins. After this zombie siege, it would certainly become a wasteland again.

The zombie horde was now moving through the smoke, not fast but steadily marching towards the station.

Guo Zhun's armed mining vehicle was mixed in the traffic, trekking through several streets. Sitting in the driver's seat, he could vaguely see East Station and the mass of people there.

Another night had passed, and the sky had brightened.

The dark clouds that had shrouded the sky for days gradually dispersed, and the temperature rose slightly.

Good weather was truly coming, and the daylight brightened greatly.

Guo Zhun himself was becoming somewhat impatient, but he dared not drive forward rashly.

He had to ensure that his speed was in sync with the zombie horde to avoid creating a commotion.

Otherwise, if his speed increased, he might crush the zombies beside him, which could attract the attention of the Corpse King, and then he would be in trouble.

But the slow pace of this zombie horde infuriated him.

When they crossed the Great River to attack Ice City, they were so quick, but now they slowed down?

He dared not urge, only maintaining this sluggish pace, slowly moving forward.

The few kilometers of road were dragged out over an hour by this zombie horde, and Guo Zhun could visibly see the people on Ice City's square steadily decreasing.

There was a full square of people before, but now only half remained.

"Damn it! In such a short while, Ye Fan has evacuated forty thousand people!"

"At this dawdling pace, the people here will be gone in over an hour!"

Amidst Guo Zhun's complaints, the zombie horde finally approached the road in front of the station.

Guo Zhun parked the car in front of a building's shopfront by the roadside, patiently waiting for the zombies to launch an attack.

The zombies lingered for a while longer before finally initiating their assault.

But this offensive made Guo Zhun nearly pop his eyes out in disbelief.

Incredibly, the massive zombie horde only dispatched about ten thousand ordinary zombies to attack.

These ordinary zombies hadn't even mutated and staggered forward as if suffering from a stroke, heading towards the front lines.

The soldiers of the Dawn Army, who had long been ambushed behind the flow of vehicles, began precision shooting as if in target practice.

It was really one bullet for one enemy; Guo Zhun, having experienced the zombie siege, had witnessed how fierce zombies could be. But seeing one after another get headshotted by the Dawn Army, he felt like he was going crazy.

If you were this weak earlier, how could I have ended up in this miserable state!

At that time, I was still the majestic Lord of Ice City, the esteemed Imperial Count.

But why?

Why did the narrative change when it came to the Dawn Army?

Ferocious zombies turned into a group of crippled individuals, slaughtered by the Dawn Army like pigs.

Ten thousand zombies, in less than twenty minutes, were completely wiped out by the Dawn Army.

Then, the brainless Corpse King settled on dispatching another ten thousand.

This time, Guo Zhun felt a little comfort—mutated zombies joined the fray.

Yet, neither the Armored Zombies nor the Agile Zombies could withstand the heavy machine guns and sniper rifles.

The Dawn Army had set up their firepower and began relentlessly destroying them, clang clang clang.

Guo Zhun was so anxious he could barely hold back, desperately wanting to join in himself, wanting to shout at the Corpse King.

Send in the King Kong! Send in the Crawlers! And those terrifying Tyrannosauruses and numerous Mutated Birds, get them in!

Look, look!

Look at those retreating people—they're getting fewer and fewer, and they're not even that scared anymore. When leaving, they even take out their phones to film the Dawn Army's zombie kills. Do they think they're on a sightseeing tour?

The expected bloody battle never occurred, and two hours had already passed.

The survivors who lingered at the pre-battle plaza were almost gone. The last few trickled into the waiting hall.

Guo Zhun couldn't hold back any longer. He finally mobilized the armed mining vehicle, joining the fourth wave of stroke... no, the fourth wave of zombies in their attack.

Clunk clunk clunk~~~!

The machine gun on the armed mining vehicle kept adjusting, aiming to attack the still-defending Dawn Army.

If the zombies couldn't do it, then he'd help them sweep away the Dawn Army and clear a path to the waiting hall for the zombies.

With a heart full of rage, Guo Zhun pulled the trigger on the machine gun!

The armed mining vehicle suddenly stalled!

All the oil and electricity systems in the vehicle stopped working at that moment.

Guo Zhun immediately broke out in a cold sweat. No matter how sturdy the mining vehicle was, if it couldn't move, wouldn't he have no chance of getting out?

He frantically tried to restart it, but the mining vehicle seemed dead, not giving any response.

"What the hell? I just refilled the oil and electricity, why is it breaking down now?"

"Didn't those experts tell me that this type of mining vehicle is of the best quality and hardly ever has mechanical issues?"

Guo Zhun was in utter panic. He couldn't fire, couldn't start the vehicle, and couldn't even open the door to get out. All he could do was watch as the last survivors disappeared.

The waiting hall gradually emptied until he couldn't hear the rumbling of the train anymore.

The 5.7 million survivors of Ice City, after several non-stop days and nights of evacuation, were finally all transferred away.

And this group of zombies lingering around him was still sluggishly tangling with the Dawn Army, after leaving tens of thousands of corpses behind, in no hurry to launch a massive attack.

Even the Dawn Army had started an orderly retreat, regiment by regiment, continuously pulling back.

Now that the survivor transfer was complete, the last to withdraw would be this Dawn Army group.

Guo Zhun even saw another regiment of the Dawn Army, which had been sniping inside the city, coming to the pre-battle plaza and running into the waiting hall along with the defending regiment.

Guo Zhun still held on to a sliver of hope, thinking that when this defending regiment retreated to its smallest numbers, the zombies would launch an assault, rushing into the station to trap those who hadn't boarded the train yet.

But alas, when the Dawn Army finally withdrew, it was when this final wave of zombies beside him was completely wiped out.

The last zombie of this wave fell, leaving Guo Zhun alone in the mining vehicle, stranded at the entrance of the East Station.

At this moment, Guo Zhun felt the world's immense malice against him.

Ye Fan raised the flag of rebellion, the survivors of Ice City betrayed him.

The zombies wouldn't cooperate with his actions, and now even the vehicle refused his command.
