Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Beneath Yue Zhong, the 18,000 soldiers of the 15th Battalion were thrown into panic and despair. Many of them had resorted to taking their own lives by blowing their brains out. Compared to being eaten alive by the zombies, they would rather commit suicide.

Being consumed by the zombies was the cruelest way to die in the apocalypse.

Even so, many soldiers took up their arms and hid behind covers, eyeing their surroundings warily.

In the distance, a black line loomed over, representing the approaching sea of zombies. Once they reach, the only fate of these 18,000 soldiers was death.

The 15th Battalion stared out at the incoming zombies, their eyes filled with dread. They knew there were no reinforcements, their leader had chosen to flee, and against these zombies, there was practically nothing they could do.

"I’m Xiao Jian, commander of the 2nd Company, 1st Platoon, 1st Squad. That damn white pig Randy had abandoned us! They’re no longer our comrades. However, we cannot give up on ourselves!! Let us fight to the death, and wipe out as many damned zombies as we can! If we kill one, it’s a break even! If we can kill 2, we have earned 1! At the very least, let’s help those still alive in China!"

"Furthermore, our rations and ammunition are enough to last more than half a month! As long as we hold out, and secure this location, it’s not as if we don’t have a way out! If we give up now, we’ll definitely die!! Everybody! We must hang on! We will have a way out of this! From now on, everybody, listen to my command. We must stick together, and fight through this together!!" Xiao Jian, a male of about 31 or 32 shouted among the soldiers left behind within the command center.

"That’s right!" historical

"We still have hope!"

"Fight it out!!"

"..."

Hearing Xiao Jian’s words, those despairing soldiers immediately felt a rush of hope, and they hurried to heed his orders and got to their positions.

Seeing that the rest of the soldiers had gone back to their posts, Xiao Jian heaved a sigh of relief. However, his expression turned downcast, as he knew that there was only death awaiting them.

Soon, the huge sea of zombies came swarming like ants over.

Hong! Hong! Hong!

When the zombie horde came to within 200m of their defense location, the heavy machinery and artillery began to open fire.

The explosions rang out and blasted many zombies into pieces.

At the same time, the soldiers from behind opened fire, raining bullets all over the zombie hordes, tearing the zombies into hole-filled bodies.

Under the relentless fire of the human army, many of the zombies continued to crawl over their fallen comrades and charged for the defense point.

The zombies were starting to evolve in a frightening manner. If the bullets did not hit their spines or skulls, they would basically still be unstoppable. Only those heavy-caliber bullets, as well as stronger ammunition capable of mass destruction, would be able to annihilate them or stop them from getting back on their feet.

At the same time, in the skies, there were numerous aerial zombies swooping down towards the 15th Battalion.

There were plenty of anti-air weapons within the 15th Battalion’s arsenal, thus they began to fire out crazily, shooting the aerial zombies down.

Even so, there were too many of them, and they managed to pounce into the midst of the soldiers, attacking them wildly.

The sounds of screams and miserable wails resounded among the soldiers.

One particular elite warrior unit dashed into the midst of the aerial beasts within their ranks and began to utilize their abilities to decapitate them.

Among the rest of the 15th Battalion, there were 15 Type 3 experts wielding guns as they fired out at those aerial zombies as well.

Inside the base, countless ordinary soldiers were firing their rifles at the skies.

Other than their flight ability, those aerial zombies had claws that were sharp enough to tear through tanks, but their defenses were weak, thus ordinary rifles were lethal to them.

As the soldiers gathered together and fired, many aerial zombies fell down. The moment they landed, they were met with a rain of bullets, turning them into sieves.

At this moment when the soldiers were faced with danger, they exhibited their powerful combat strength and resolute wills. They were able to hold out with their simple fortifications while fighting back the 2-pronged attacks of the zombies.

If it had been the motley crew from the Heaven Sect in Hebei, by the time the first wave came, they would have collapsed entirely, fleeing for their lives before being consumed by the zombies.

In the clouds, Yue Zhong saw the outstanding reaction of the 15th Battalion to the situation caused by him, and his eyes brightened, "Not bad, this troop is really decent. Their fighting strength is also high, and they’re Chinese! Worthy of saving."

Yue Zhong had not yet left because he wanted to observe this troop. If they had crumbled at the first sign of attack, even if Yue Zhong was a Type 6 expert and displayed all his trump cards, he would not be able to save them, might as well let them die.

Within the command post, Xiao Jian’s face was full of worry as he stared at the display, while he issued out commands one after another.

All of a sudden, the display flashed, and Yue Zhong appeared on the screen.

The moment Xiao Jian saw him, he exclaimed in shock, "You’re Yue Zhong!"

By now, Yue Zhong had become the number one enemy of the Kingdom of God, thus, every soldier knew about his face. Whoever was the first to defeat him would be able to instantly soar to the top echelons of the organization, enjoying all that life had to offer. Xiao Jian had seen his photograph and memorized his information.

Yue Zhong directly offered, "I’m Yue Zhong, do you guys want to live on?"

Xiao Jian’s eyes flashed with a ray of hope, as he quickly replied, "I’m Xiao Jian, the temporary commander of the 15th Battalion. We want to live on, please save us!"

Yue Zhong immediately stated his conditions, "I can make my move. However, you will have to surrender unconditionally after this, and accept reorganization of your forces. You’ll have to fight for China, and if any of you were to reconnect with the Kingdom of God, don’t blame me for being merciless."

Xiao Jian did not even hesitate as he made his promise, "Fine! I’ll promise you!!"

Currently, the 15th Battalion was barely holding out, if Yue Zhong did not act, they would not last long. Furthermore, the Kingdom of God had already abandoned them, causing most of the soldiers to be filled with betrayal and hatred towards them.

In the sky, the half-step Type 5 intelligent zombie saw his troops being killed, and a look of anger flashed past his face. He flapped his wings, calling out a strong gust of tornado, and appeared right above a Type 3 human expert, slashing out with his claws.

The Type 3 human expert, whose name was Zhang Jin, had just killed 2 aerial zombies when he was caught by surprise, and his face turned pale, a look of despair on his face.

At this moment, an electromagnetic beam shot through the sky, directly blasting the head of the half-step Type 5 intelligent zombie.

Zhang Jin heaved a sigh of relief, as he looked to the sky, "That was powerful, who was he?"

He discovered a huge dragon made out of flames tearing through all the aerial zombies, and in an instant, all of them were caught in flames, giving out crackling sounds of burning. Their charred bodies fell out of the skies while being incinerated away.

After wiping out hundreds of those aerial zombies in a single move, Yue Zhong flew to the ground, directly activating his Summon Tamed Beast technique, and the Type 5 Mount Tai reappeared, charging towards the sea of zombies as per Yue Zhong’s will.

Under Mount Tai’s charge, the hundreds and thousands of zombies were flattened into meat paste, as it created a bloody path in its wake.

"What is that monster??"

"That’s too fearsome!! Are there still such beasts in the world?"

"It can practically wipe us out in an instant!"

"..."

When the soldiers caught sight of Mount Tai, their eyes were filled with shock and fear. Its massive size had exceeded their imagination. They were basically ants in front of such a monstrous entity.

After all, not many people could see a Type 5 Mutant Beast so easily.

"Breakthrough!"

Seeing Mount Tai break out, Xiao Jian’s heart shook, as he ordered out swiftly.

Under his orders, the elite soldiers of the 15th Battalion swiftly boarded their vehicles and in the midst of their attacking, they followed after Mount Tai in a bid to break out of the siege.

The zombies continued to pour towards the army like a sea wave, while the elite soldiers were still firing frantically.
