General Soros's face turned ashen, and he coldly glanced at the person who had committed suicide by swallowing a gun. His gaze swept over the others, "Is the battle plan ready?"

There was no response. It wasn't until General Soros asked for the third time that someone, numbly, handed him a plan. General Soros glanced at it. Although these people were on the verge of collapse, they were still professional staff officers. Leveraging the terrain of Garden Island, they had quickly drawn up a detailed plan.

If it were before, General Soros might have praised them, but now, as he looked at the dense horde of zombies on the computer screen, he knew it was just a matter of doing what they could and leaving the rest to fate. Without saying more, he waved his hand, "Proceed according to this plan."

The order was given, and the remaining military forces in the forward base immediately sprang into action. Even though many didn't know the specifics, the military order had been issued, and they could only follow their duty as soldiers. They left the forward base and began constructing the first line of defense before the cross-sea bridge.

Rumble!

The torrential rain intensified, and lightning occasionally flashed. The red mutant parrot stood proudly on Li Mu's shoulder. Seeing that Sydney was within sight, it immediately shouted, "Your Majesty, we've arrived at Sydney! Those damned humans seem to be on some Garden Island..."

The red mutant parrot's words were cut short because Li Mu had already seen Garden Island. Standing coldly on the floating building that rose like a warship, he looked down from a height. Even the torrential rain couldn't obscure his vision, so he saw the Garden Island base.

At the same time, someone in the forward base also saw Li Mu. Although they were very far away and it was raining heavily, making it impossible to see Li Mu clearly, the building that rose like a warship, crashing through the landscape and causing a great commotion wherever it went, was noticed the moment it appeared on the horizon.

"What the hell is that thing?"

Someone was dumbfounded, shocked into silence.

"God, what is that thing?"

Someone instinctively took a few steps back, unable to hold their gun, and collapsed to the ground, fear spreading like a flood.

For the people in the forward base, except for a few who had witnessed Li Mu's terror firsthand, most didn't even know that zombies could evolve.

Seeing the building that rose like a warship, a miracle-like sight, they were truly terrified and found it hard to accept. Even the army in the base was somewhat restless, but fortunately, orders were quickly issued.

Someone immediately shouted, "Fire! Fire immediately!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cannon fire roared, and a series of shells shot out from the forward base without hesitation, piercing through the rain and bombarding the conspicuous building.

Li Mu's face was expressionless, his silver eyes flickering with a cold light. He stood immovable, coldly driving the building forward. The shells that exploded in the sky seemed to be deflected by an invisible hand, unable to reach the building, and instead twisted and exploded.

In an instant, the sound of cannon fire echoed throughout Sydney.

The war began just before the zombie horde entered the city. The cannon fire was relentless, and General Soros dared not hold back any of his forces.

The barrels in the base turned red-hot, as if they wanted to fire all the shells in the base in one go.

The whistling sound of the shells drowned out the torrential rain and the thunder. The sound of cannon fire was everywhere. At this moment, the vanguard of Li Mu's zombie army was still hundreds of miles away from the Garden Island base. Even though the zombies were countless and densely packed, enough to flood the city, they had no means to counterattack the forward base.

They could only endure the bombardment from the forward base. The shells that exploded in the sky couldn't get close to Li Mu, but there were so many that they almost cut off the rain, making it impossible for the rain to fall. With such a large number, even Li Mu found it difficult to twist and control all of them.

In fact, Li Mu didn't intend to control the shells. It would be too foolish to try to resist the entire base's cannon fire with his own strength.

Li Mu only twisted the shells aimed at him. As for the other shells that exploded and killed countless zombies, he didn't care at all.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cannon fire and splashing rain brought up blood flowers. In the face of the humans' relentless bombardment, the zombie horde was almost instantly reduced by a tenth.

Large gaps immediately appeared in the vast black mass, and this outcome invigorated everyone in the command room.

"We can still fire at least ten more rounds before the zombie army reaches the cross-sea bridge. As long as the cannon fire keeps up, we might not lose this battle!"

Someone began to calculate frantically, and the results were heartening.

General Soros also smiled, nodding. Looking at the cold Li Mu standing on the building on the screen, he knew that human military power might find it difficult to deal with Li Mu, but it still had a decisive advantage over the zombies.

Especially in the current situation, where the zombies could only passively endure the bombardment and couldn't fight back, even two million zombies would still be reduced to ashes.

The spirits of the people in the base were lifted, and the second round of bombardment whistled, even more fiercely than the first, towards the rapidly advancing zombie horde in Sydney.

"Your Majesty, this won't do."

The red mutant parrot screamed in anger. The humans were too despicable, and the situation was extremely unfavorable for them, as they could only passively endure the bombardment.

Li Mu's face was expressionless, his silver eyes cold and merciless, showing no emotion. Seeing the second round of bombardment whistling towards him, he still showed no sign of acting, just coldly watching everything.

The whistling shells all twisted and fell before reaching Li Mu, bombarding the zombie horde on the ground.

Scream!

A sharp roar, and a zombie suddenly rose into the air. Suddenly, a storm raged, and a tornado formed on the ground, sweeping up the rain. Dozens of whistling shells were instantly caught in the storm, exploding in the air but unable to tear through the sudden tornado.

The shells, which were expected to kill at least thousands of zombies, were instantly extinguished in the tornado. This situation immediately made General Soros's smile freeze, his pupils contracting, and he said, "Type X zombie! Damn it!"
