As the helicopter lowered and lowered to the zombies, it stopped just within a few hundred feet above them.

A massive horde had already been built up, rapidly stacking on top of each other in an attempt to reach them.

"You ready?"

With a nod from the pilot, the two quickly opened the crate to the side, revealing a box full of grenades.

The two captains immediately began pulling the pin and throwing it out the window, timing it just right so that it would explode upon impact.

However, the explosion was so loud and close that the helicopter itself swung side to side a little before it stabilized again.

"Sorry! Miscalculated the distance." The pilot apologized as he quickly ascended back up.

After reaching a much safer distance, the two captains repeated the same steps.

This time, the explosion didn''t affect the zombies. Instead, it blew up before it could reach them.

Yet the two of them didn''t stop, continuing to let the grenade explode mid-air, almost as if that was their initial plan.

"Geez, this thing is so damn loud even though the ear protector." The first captain complained.

"What did you say?"

As the second captain threw another grenade into the air, the pilot started to fly down the designated path.

"Nothing!"

The two of them began to slow down the speed of the grenade being thrown out, only doing it occasionally every few minutes.

After almost three hours of dragging the horde, they were forced to head back to refuel first.

When they headed back to the horde, they somehow had traveled much further down the intended path.

Not wasting any more time, they resumed luring the zombie down the road all the way until they finally reached the bridge.

"There they are," Xiaoyun murmured as he could hear a faint helicopter spinning in the distance.

"All units on high alert! The zombies are incoming!"

As soon as the order was passed out, all of the soldiers stood ready and waited.

After ten minutes, the first zombie finally approached the front line as the helicopter flew towards the makeshift airfield.

Gunshots immediately began at the first defense, drawing the zombie''s attention as more and more began flooding in.

Just as the zombies overran the first defenses and reached towards the cars, explosions quickly went off.

As the hundred soldiers ran back to the main defense, the wall of fire from the cars continued to rage on.

The tightness of the zombie hordes immediately caused a cascading effect as more and more of them caught on fire.

Soon, almost all of the front entrances became raging infernal, stopping the zombie''s track from advancing any further.

However, after a while, the fire began to die down, and barely any zombies died from the fire itself.

It only caused a small dent in the numbers, with more in the back quickly replacing the ones that had fallen.

The zombies had once again advanced to the middle, rapidly making gains throughout the smoke screen.

"This is going to make me so rich..."

Kate smirked as she watched all the soldiers free-fire at the zombies, with zero care for saving Ammos.

"You know what, the first thing I''m going to do when I go back to raise the corporate tax to 90%."

Xiaoyun joked as the battlefield became relatively stable, with the zombie''s advancement stalled right just a few steps past the middle.

"Hey! Don''t do that! Aren''t you already getting my best assets?"

As Kate hugged Xiaoyun''s arm in her chest, Xiaoyun didn''t take her bribe a single bit.

"Too bad. You shouldn''t have flexed your money like that. Time for you to pay your fair share."

Kate rolled her eyes as she let go of his arm, turning her attention back to the binoculars in hand.

"Says the one who''s the richest person in the whole world right now. Have you ever paid your taxes?"

"I don''t even have a salary... There is no taxes for me to pay."

"Oh, right... Totally not because a certain individual just prints his way out when he needs to pay."

Xiaoyun''s face finally blushed a little as he turned his attention back to the frontline.

To his surprise, the zombies had stopped advancing, even though it had only been less than an hour.

It has only been exactly thirty minutes, but it is almost as if the zombie horde on the other side was timing their attack precisely.

"Huh... They really are retreating to the other side."

As the two watched with confusion, the zombies had exited the bridge and remained idly by at the entrance.

"Commander, should we remain in position?"

Xiaoyun''s walkie-talkie finally spoke up, as the leading Colonel down below couldn''t understand what was happening.

"15th and 16th Division, take this time to swap with 13th and 14th, over."

As the unit on the ground began to swap position, the zombies on the other side still showed no signs of advancing.

They did not show any signs of retreat either, as they continued remaining on the other side of the bridge.

"They definitely have someone directing them."

Kate murmured, as the zombies behaved almost the same as the ones they encountered in the past.

All of them stood there as if they had received the order to remain still, even with humans across from them.

"If they want to wait it out, we can wait it out as well." Xiaoyun determined as he looked through his binoculars.

"Can we really afford to wait it out?"

Kate raised her concern as she knew how much it was costing to have an entire Army Corp out in the open.

Not to mention the lingering worry for the soldiers to constantly be worried that the zombies were going to advance at some point.

"It''s too late to turn the horse around... Besides, they seemed to be in a hurry, too."
