CHAPTER 1644: CHAPTER 1638: UNUSUAL CORPSE TIDE

The zombie horde kept coming relentlessly, and at this moment, the air seemed to turn viscous. The intense pressure made the soldiers feel difficult to breathe. Ghost Head’s face was slightly flushed; it felt as if his automatic breathing had switched to manual mode, subconsciously holding his breath instead.

"Relax!" Ghost Head was at a loss, glancing around to find someone who felt the same way. Just then, a soldier with a square face shouted, seemingly addressing him.

Ghost Head looked at the soldier and nodded. It was his first time at such an event; the tension of facing the massive zombie horde made his movements awkward. Brother Shi next to him was the same, his face pale, but his eyes held a mix of fear and determination.

Hoo~

Taking a deep breath seemed to make him feel slightly better, but the fear hadn’t entirely vanished. Watching the "black line" grow thicker brought discomfort to his breathing. On the wall, countless soldiers had gathered but were surprisingly quiet, allowing Ghost Head to clearly hear the booming noises of the advancing zombie horde from a distance! Countless rotten feet seemed to resonate with his heartbeat as they trampled the ground!

Zombies clad in torn military uniforms stumbled forward tirelessly, sprinting vigorously, constantly nearing the anti-zombie wall. A sergeant standing on a high platform put down the binoculars, with everyone’s eyes fixated on him.

The sergeant raised one hand, hesitated for two or three seconds, and then dropped it abruptly!

"Open fire!"

As the soldiers shouted, the laser weapons in everyone’s hands flashed brightly, shooting lasers like a torrential rain onto the zombies’ heads! The laser penetrated through the zombies’ bodies or smashed onto the ground, generating a sizzling white smoke. The soldiers paused after a brief burst of firing; the firepower was so fierce. Once the random shooting ended, the zombies, seen in people’s eyes, fell one by one, with their rotting flesh badly charred by the lasers.

Dealing with these ordinary zombies wasn’t difficult, but the soldiers dared not relax, because the real threat was the vast zombie horde behind them!

Rumble!

Suddenly, a loud sound came from behind them, drawing the attention of many, including Ghost Head and Brother Shi, who turned to look. Fortunately, it wasn’t anything bad happening within Sanctuary City. Instead, a large number of missiles were launched into the air, with their thrusters creating that noise. A massive amount of white smoke covered the buildings on the ground, while the red warheads shone brightly under the sun’s dim rays, trailing long tails straight into the sky. Upon reaching a certain height, they tilted downwards, drawing a beautiful arc before heading toward the zombie horde!

Boom!

Soon after, Ghost Head saw a huge fiery explosion representing the zombie horde from behind, with countless debris being blasted into the air!

Yahoo!

The soldiers began to cheer wildly, perhaps to boost their own morale, but watching the zombie horde being ravaged by missiles was indeed satisfying!

As the first missile landed in the horde, more quickly followed. The intimidating red warheads created suction as they hit the zombie horde, making it impossible for the low-level zombies to resist, pulling them together. Then a fiery light blossomed like flowers, and the tremendous impact exploded at the center, causing the already decaying zombie bodies to collapse instantly, with countless fragments flying everywhere.

"What on earth are these zombies doing?"

As the horde gradually advanced, Ghost Head finally got a clearer view but realized the zombies seemed intentionally grouped. The ones at the front were all ordinary zombies, with no evolved zombies in sight. Even further back, the Level 1 zombies were similarly separated by their ranks!

Naturally, others noticed it too, causing one by one to exchange glances in confusion. The advancement of the horde was slow, almost a walk, lacking the crazed bloodlust of living creatures. None of the high-level zombies at the back attempted to rush forward, staying in their designated zones as if they were a well-trained army!

This scene was extremely eerie, making many people’s expressions grow serious due to the anomalous behavior of the zombie horde, adding unease.

Missiles from Sanctuary City continued to fly into the sky endlessly, crashing into the zombie horde. The fiery explosions blasted countless limbs and remains into the air. The zombies within the horde remained silent, with only the dull thuds of countless feet hitting the ground.

They marched forward quietly, and a sergeant on the observation tower slowly pulled out a pre-Apocalypse handgun, scanning the area before finally pointing it at the sky, firing three shots.

Bang, bang, bang!

The gunshots were faint against the sound of the footfalls of the moving zombie horde, but on the anti-zombie wall, it was an unexpectedly sudden sound for the soldiers.

"All units, shoot any target within range!"

Following the sergeant’s command, everyone raised their weapons, aiming their laser guns at the boundless zombie horde. As the first person pressed the trigger, the first laser cut through the dust flying in the air, unleashing a storm that seemed to have been brewing for months!

The temperature began to rise, not due to the warmth bestowed upon the land by the sun, but from the scorching heat of the lasers!

The ground outside, overgrown with weeds, was immediately torn apart by the powerful and relentless lasers, ripping large chunks of concrete and red bricks. The zombies further ahead, walking in front, fell like wheat stalks in a field being cut through by a long blade, crashing down!

"Kill!"

Countless soldiers roared at the zombie horde, veins bulging on their foreheads as they fervently unleashed the power of their laser weapons. At this moment, the solitary sound of footsteps from the advancing horde was drowned out; the world’s sounds became enriched by the silver-blue laser rain!

Missiles launched from Sanctuary City continually diminished the number of zombies, while the soldiers on the anti-zombie wall had been firing intensely from the start. Before long, the fallen zombies piled up, forcing those arriving behind to climb over their former companions as they attempted to move forward. But as soon as they emerged, they met a torrent of lasers! Their already severely decayed heads were instantly torn into countless bloody chunks!

The ordinary zombies at the forefront were swiftly wiped out by the soldiers’ overwhelming firepower. But as the missiles from Sanctuary City heavily hit the Level 3 zombie group at the back, the previously complacent zombie horde finally unleashed its fury!
