Chapter 61

Kee!

Another sharp roar echoed as the zombie controlling the storm suddenly struck, annihilating dozens of shells. Another zombie suddenly leaped up, its entire body instantly freezing, and a white frosty aura instantly spread for hundreds of meters. The torrential rain suddenly froze into ice, and with the zombie's will, it whistled and rose up.

The frost storm enveloped the falling shells, and the rumbling explosions continued to sound, but the white frosty aura continued to freeze the rain, forming a massive ice ball hundreds of meters wide in the air, containing all the explosions within it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Another zombie suddenly stirred up a towering flame, the blazing fire rising to the sky, bringing up large amounts of steam in the rain, and a thick white mist instantly obscured a large area. With a whistle, a pillar of fire shot up, sweeping across the sky, and dozens of shells that had not yet landed were instantly detonated.

The explosions and flames rose together, but they could not suppress the thunderous sound from another direction. A zombie, with its body jumping with bright blue lightning, brought its hands together, pulling out a leaping arc of electricity, just like the legendary thunder. With a release of its palm, the leaping arc of lightning instantly rose, leaping into the air, making the rain all over the sky turn blue.

Rumble!

Drawn by this arc of lightning, the sky was filled with thunder, and a bolt of lightning struck down, destroying everything in its path. The rain was annihilated, and dozens of shells along its path were instantly detonated, exploding into terrifying fragments.

This sudden change left everyone in the combat command room in shock, speechless, their hearts trembling, and their faces, which had been filled with joy, instantly turned ashen.

General Soros suppressed his shock and anger. He had not expected that among the zombies Li Mu controlled this time, there would be such terrifying X-type zombies, but it was not entirely beyond his expectations.

After all, in a group of two million zombies, the appearance of any monstrous existence was normal. He had not hoped that the bombardment alone could completely crush this terrifying zombie tide.

Moreover, from the current situation, even Li Mu, even with the earth-shattering actions of these X-type zombies, could not completely intercept all the shells.

At least from what General Soros could see at the moment, the number of shells that successfully landed was clearly much greater than those intercepted.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The cannon fire roared, and even with several incredibly powerful X-type zombies intercepting the shells, they still could not intercept all of them. The explosions continued to sound, and large numbers of zombies were blown to pieces.

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

Although the second round of bombardment was far less effective than the first, killing at most tens of thousands of zombies, the third round of bombardment was already roaring in.

Li Mu's face was expressionless, coldly watching everything. The red mutant parrot perched on his shoulder was somewhat angry, "Your Majesty, this won't do. Those humans are too despicable. By the time we get there, most of us will already be dead."

A cold light flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and he slowly raised his hand. His silver eyes became brilliant, and in an instant, the zombie horde running beneath him suddenly paused, then roared continuously. All the zombies bowed down, their hands grabbing the ground violently and brutally, as if the entire surface of the earth had been scraped away in an instant.

In response to the humans' third round of bombardment, the zombies under Li Mu's control did only one thing: they grabbed anything around them—abandoned vehicles, power poles, rubble, even large sections of the road.

Among the evolved zombies Li Mu controlled, X-type zombies were ultimately a minority, with most being M-type zombies. These physically evolved zombies demonstrated the power of muscle to the humans at this moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In response to the whistling third round of bombardment, the zombie horde under Li Mu's control responded with a whistling black shadow—stones, concrete blocks, metal, cars, streetlights, mobile phones, computers...

Everything created by humans became a whistling weapon in the hands of these zombies, and the terrifying power gave the debris in their hands the speed of bullets.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The third round of bombardment instantly triggered a spectacular explosion in the air, with brilliant fireworks and rolling shockwaves, as if the sky itself had been pressed down a layer.

Large buildings collapsed instantly in the high-altitude explosions, and even the skyscrapers that Li Mu manipulated, floating forward like warships, shook violently, and a section was torn off by the continuous shockwaves.

The explosions were so brilliant that everyone who witnessed this turned pale, sitting in despair on their chairs. General Soros's face was ashen, and he unconsciously gripped the cup in his hand, which shattered with a crack, the broken shards piercing his palm, blood dripping, but General Soros no longer felt the pain.

His mind was filled with one thought: It's over.

Indeed, it was over. In response to the human bombardment, the zombie tide used two sacrifices to accurately stop the third round of bombardment. Faced with these zombies that could grab stones and fire them with the speed of bullets, human bombardment was already difficult to be effective.

Everyone felt a sense of despair, and the subsequent bombardments confirmed this. From the third round of bombardment, the intense cannon fire could no longer cause much damage to the zombie tide.

Everyone could see the image of over 1.5 million zombies surging into the base, which was the true end of the world.

"Continue the bombardment, and immediately begin the second phase of the operation plan."

General Soros made a decisive decision, knowing that it was a delusion to think that the bombardment could eliminate the zombies' fighting force. The only option was to immediately begin the second phase of the operation plan, blocking the zombies at the sea-crossing bridge, with the vast sea as their barrier.

The order was given, and the army, already positioned at the forefront of the sea-crossing bridge, silently began to check their weapons, waiting for the battle to begin.

They were not fools, and although they did not know what the second phase of the operation plan was, they could guess that the only possibility was to blow up the sea-crossing bridge.

Although they could not see the whole picture like the staff in the combat command room, they knew that the situation had already deteriorated to the worst possible extent, requiring the execution of the second phase of the operation plan even under such intense bombardment.

And they were left at this end of the bridge, building defenses, clearly to buy time for the destruction of the sea-crossing bridge, which, to put it bluntly, meant they had been abandoned.

But what could they do? Their families and friends were still in the base. As soldiers, even knowing they would surely die, they had to fight!
