Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Chapter 262: Chapter 262: The First Two Wave

As tens of hundreds of artillery landed at the hordes, massive gaps began to form as the densely packed horde meant a single explosive shell was able to kill or injure hundreds of them at a time.

Seeing how the zombies ruthlessly ran over zombies who had fallen, Xiaoyun knew those zombies that were injured were as good as dead.

But still, it only made a dent in the number of zombies that they were about to face as the empty field ahead of the town was still filled with zombies.

Fortunately, as they approached closer and closer, the narrow entrance of the town that didn't do much for the last zombie fight was actually coming in useful.

Almost hundreds of thousands of zombies were forced to start clumping against each other or even fall over the cliff, with most of them falling to their deaths.

It also meant the artillery started to become even more effective as the explosion engulfed thousands of them at once.

But it didn't last long as the zombies were now too close range for the artillery to fire reliably without friendly firing.

"All soldiers rifle fire only!"

Han Bang and all other major orders at the same time as the first wave of zombies got into range.

Within seconds, thousands of bullets were fired at the same time as they hit the first rows of zombies.

Due to the positions of the soldiers being above the zombies, the bullet couldn't travel through multiple zombies at once.

Still, some of the bullets managed to take out multiple zombies at once due to how densely packed the zombies were.

As the zombie horde started to overwhelm the bullet walls created by the rifles, the MG-42 was immediately ordered to fire.

The sudden increase of bullets being fired at the zombies quadrupled and created an almost laser-like line that cut the zombies the moment they walked past it.

Despite more and more zombies dying every minute, it was almost never-ending, as the only thing that everyone on the wall could hear was gunshots being fired.

Slowly, the first waves of zombies were finally starting to thin out.

Zombie bodies were filling up the moat completely, with their body stacking up almost halfway up the wall like a staircase.

Still, almost every soldier on the wall was tired beyond relief from having gunshots constantly blasting in their ears.

Not to mention the civilian volunteers who were on the brink of collapse from needing to pay attention to every movement on the battlefield.

"Yueyue, you okay?" Xiaoyun asked as he noticed her hands shaking as she tried to reload her guns.

Yueyue could see him speaking, but her ears couldn't hear it clearly.

"What did you say? I can't really hear you." Yueyue asked.

"I say, are you okay?" Xiaoyun yelled out much louder this time.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."

As Yueyue finished reloading, she began firing her rifle as the zombies started climbing on top of each other much faster than usual. Almost as if they knew their time was limited.

Suddenly, Xiaoyun's walkie-talkie got a transmission.

"Commander Xiaoyun, all the soldiers are about to run out of ammo, and the logistics crew reported back that they don't have any more ammo. There's too many zombies at the right flank!"

Lingang's voice came out of the transmission as he stated his request.

"I grant you full authorization to use any tools you need... You can use your grenades and RPGs at the zombie hordes."

Xiaoyun initially wanted to hold them for tank mutants, but seeing them still hadn't appeared, he chose to let Lingang use them.

"Yes, sir!" Lingang excitedly replied as he ended the transmission.

Seeing the explosion coming from the far right side of the wall, Xiaoyun's heart skipped a beat thinking about the raw material he needed to supply afterward for the factory to make them.

"Raw material can always be made... Human life is more valuable." Xiaoyun murmured to himself as he continued firing his rifle.

Soon enough, the final zombie of the first wave was killed.

The soldiers and civilian volunteers immediately sat down in relief as they celebrated the zombie's defeat.

But Xiaoyun was much more worried about the second wave as he looked toward the ammo that had been used.

Almost an entire month of the stockpile was gone in twenty minutes, and with no other way to resupply ammo, Xiaoyun's hand was practically forced to bring the ammo from the inner wall all the way to the front walls.

"Inner wall soldiers began moving to the outer wall, and outer wall soldiers and civilian volunteers, you may all switch to the inner wall." Xiaoyun issued the order to all the majors.

"Yueyue and Kate, you two go back to the inner wall too."

The two hesitated for a second as they wanted to argue back, but seeing Xiaoyun's fully serious face, the two accepted it.

"Miss Tianci, please take care of Xiaoyun," Yueyue asked before she left with all the other soldiers and civilians.

"Of course, I'll protect him... I can't let my free meal get hurt." Tianci murmured the last part.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyun had switched to Yezi's channel on the walkie-talkie.

"Yezi, how long until the second wave gets here?" Xiaoyun asked.

"The scout reported about an hour or so from now. Also, I already asked Yuqi to direct some of the people over to the factory instead.

I'll try to get more ammo there... But you might need to come down to make more raw resources." Yezi stated.

"Okay, I'll go to the factory warehouse later."

---

Exactly one hour and a half later, the second wave was finally in the distance as an artillery shell began firing at them.

"Lingang, you're not going to rest?" Xiaoyun asked as he had just come back from the warehouse.

"The soldiers can rest. I'll help with the other majors' directing." Lingang replied.

"You're out here because you saw Han Bang staying, didn't you?" Xiaoyun sees through Lingang's excuse and points out.

"Boss..." Lingang looked a little embarrassed as he had just been caught red-handed.

"Don't worry, you aren't the only one staying."

As the two finished talking, Lingang went back to the right flank as Xiaoyun took out his binoculars to look in the distance.

This time, he could finally see mutants in the crowds of zombies rushing towards the wall.

But it wasn't any mutants he had seen before.

It had a giant green pimple strapped to its back, almost like a container being carried as a backpack.

Coincidently, an artillery shell landed right at the green pimple mutant, and it produced an explosion about ten times the size of the artillery shell.

Xiaoyun immediately raised his walkie-talkie and turned it to all signals.

"All soldiers, if you see a zombie that has a giant green circular shape on their back, set them as your highest priority and immediately open fire at them before they get near the wall.

They can cause a massive explosion when killed... If they are at the wall, do not fire at them."

After repeating it over three times, all the soldiers understood what Xiaoyun meant as they could see it with their own eyes as large explosions that were much bigger than the artillery shells began appearing.

"Maybe mutants aren't all bad..."

Xiaoyun murmured as the explosion from the green mutants was killing so many of the nearby zombies that it was starting to make massive gaps in the zombie horde.

Especially when there was this type of green mutant all over the zombie hordes, with Xiaoyun being able to count over a hundred alone.

Still, some were able to make it past the artillery and even started blending with the regular zombies as they approached the wall.

As they got closer and closer, bullets finally started flying towards them.

Almost instantly, the soldiers were able to take care of the green mutants as explosions went off at the dense zombie hordes.

The massive collateral damage almost reduced half the size of the zombies as they approached the wall.

But suddenly, an explosion went off at the left side of the wall.

"Han Bang, what's happening at your side? Do you need backup?" Xiaoyun asked urgently as he held down the trigger of his rifle one-handed down at the zombies.

"They're able to blend in too well with the zombies! We're fine right now. The wall isn't damaged that severely." Han Bang replied as another explosion went off.

"I'm sending some of the soldiers to your side right——"

Before Xiaoyun could finish, an explosion sound appeared from the right flank of the wall.

"Fuck! These mutants are way more dangerous than I thought."

Xiaoyun quickly took out his walkie-talkie to contact Lingang.

"Lingang, are you okay?" Xiaoyun asked as he could see a sudden large smoke near where Lingang had been earlier.

"Yeah, we are fine. One of the grenades went off on accident. It wasn't the mutant that exploded at the wall——"
