When the boundless yellow sand was swept up by the wind and fell in all directions like a sandstorm, Lu Xiaobu could no longer stay there. Countless grains of sand stung his face like needles, and he looked like a sandman. Lu Xiaobu cursed as he entered the car. The first thing he saw was the screen. The boundless sand flooded the black land like a torrent. The moment the black tide of zombies collided with the dust, they shattered like sand sculptures being washed away by a flood. The speed of the torrent did not slow down at all because of the zombies' collapse. It was like a group of unreasonable mad cows trampling on endless ants, and with every step they took, hundreds and thousands of zombies were dragged into the mud under their hooves.
Other than Lu Xiaobu, who was enjoying the view, most of the officers did not shout out loud. This kind of scene happened every day. Other than the time needed to maintain the tanks, over two million zombies had been killed by the tanks. And in the images captured by the drone's camera, the sea of zombies was no longer as boundless as it was a month ago. Over three million zombies were killed by the bumper tanks and fire-breathing tanks, and they could not even evolve by eating corpses. Every time, the human's mechanical army had the upper hand, causing the Z2 zombies in the sea of zombies to be pushed into a corner. Now, the zombies had long given up on charging and had changed to fleeing towards the main zombie army at the foot of Yin Mountain. The stretched zombie sea was like a hundred-mile long snake, and under the pressure of the bumper tanks, its tail was chopped off bit by bit.
"How many zombies are left?
How long can the tank's fuel last?
Also, has Minister Shi decided on the final battle? "
Lu Xiaobu's series of questions did not cause the officers to panic. They were already prepared. In today's battle with the zombies, the military strength of the Yin Meng Empire was growing every day, and the quality of the officers was also improving. A young female officer with Chinese-Russian blood opened the blue leather folder in her hand and reported to Lu Xiaobu in crisp Mandarin, "Up until now, there are only 800,000 zombies left. Hohhot has been completely recovered yesterday, and the tanks' fuel can still last for another two and a half hours. We have to stop the attack after an hour and leave some fuel to prevent accidents. Minister Shi has not sent any orders yet. I heard that the airship fleet was officially inspected yesterday, and 30 airships are ready to go. Perhaps there was a small accident …"
"I hate accidents, I hate plans, I hate watching the zombies do nothing …" Lu Xiaobu was no longer the construction worker who had graduated from university. Under the baptism of countless battles, he had grown into the aura that a leader should have. Every word he said was enough to convince the officers below him. The other officers all focused on their work like ostriches, ignoring Lu Xiaobu's angry roars. Only the beautiful female officer with blue eyes and black hair stared at Lu Xiaobu fearlessly with her 36D bust that she inherited from her mother. The difference was that there was a flash of displeasure in her blue eyes, causing Lu Xiaobu's harsh words to be stuck in his throat. Sweeping a glance at the mixed-blood, Lu Xiaobu raised his hand to cover his mouth and pretended to cough. He then shouted to the other officers, "Order Zhao Jiawei to speed up. I'll only give him an hour. After an hour, he must stop the attack …" After saying that, Lu Xiaobu's heart flashed with even deeper resentment.
Yin Meng had been reorganized into the Second Army of the Renaissance Army, but the scale of it was incomparable to Hubei and Sichuan combined. The 1st Division was originally the main force of Yin Meng, but after the changes, it was expanded into four brigades. Each brigade had tens of thousands of people, and the former armored regiment was forcibly kept in the 1st Division. Fan Zhongfeng was also promoted to the commander of the armored brigade, and the entire armored brigade had over a hundred tanks and a few hundred armored vehicles. It was stronger than his so-called armored group. There were 18 Type-96 tanks, 12 Type-98 tanks, and 12 of the most advanced Type-99 tanks. Other than that, there were 60 Type-88 tanks. All of them were mainstream tanks in the army in his previous life, and each tank could fire a fatal shot. They were all equipped with all sorts of equipment, and it was not something that the iron coffins in his hands could compare to.
He originally had his eyes on these tanks, but the other party refused to let them go, and even said that they would give them to him when the army was reorganized. How could he not know that this was their delaying tactic? They probably wanted him to be the commander of the armored group on equal footing with Ishihara and the others, and it was also to give Zhang Xiaoqiang peace of mind. In the end, it was all because of the mountain people, and even Zhao Jun and Ishihara were not exempt from it.
Therefore, although his armored group sounded nice, in reality, there were only a dozen or so old tanks that could fire, and a quota of 5,000 people. This was only possible because he wanted at least two drivers for each tank. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know what he was here for. Zhao Jiawei was one of the armored officers he had brought from Hubei, and could be considered his confidant. It was also because of Zhao Jiawei that he was able to form the combat power of the armored group in such a short time.
"Motherf * cker, who asked you to screw me over? In this battle, 80% of the zombies were taken care of by my team. You bastards, look carefully, our Uncle Lu is not that easy to bully …"
Thinking about it, Lu Xiaobu could not help but curse out loud, and the other officers lowered their heads even more. At this time, Ishihara's hoarse voice came through the communicator, "All units, prepare yourselves. Operation Heaven's Wrath has officially begun. Commander Lu, please stop the attack, the air force is about to attack …"
The sudden order made Lu Xiaobu grin widely. He felt an unprecedented comfort that made him forget himself. He pinched the female officer's butt and said loudly, "Ha, it's finally time to pack those things. Chen Anna, after this battle is over, we'll have time to rest. I'm still waiting for you to give me a son. Brother Cockroach, Old Frank, and Yellow Springs all have children. I'm the only one who doesn't. It'll be embarrassing if this gets out …"
All the military officers looked at each other in delight. Even if they did not speak, they could see the teasing in each other's eyes. Only the female military officer, Chen Anna, blushed. "You're courting death …" She yelled and pinched Lu Xiaobu's arm hard. As he grimaced in pain, she rolled her eyes. Right at this moment, the screen showed another image. Thirty huge airships were slowly rising into the sky. Hundreds of support vehicles were speeding below these airships on the grassland for dozens of kilometers. Countless supplies were piled up like mountains on the helipads, and there were tens of thousands of people working on the helipads.
"Zhao Jiawei, stop the attack and get out of contact immediately. Metal Box, get ready to flank us, and get Fire Rabbit to block the zombies behind us. Conserve fuel and prepare for the follow-up action …" Lu Xiaobu saw the airships rising into the air, and he immediately grabbed the communicator to personally give the order to Zhao Jiawei. At this time, the frontline had already become a sea of sand. Be it the zombies or the tanks, they were all covered by the yellow sand. Only the countless flames could be vaguely seen in the yellow sand. The flames ignited, and the thick black smoke mixed with the sand. As the heat rose, it covered the sky, and the endless smoke rose a hundred meters into the air, chasing the drones to higher ground. In the screen of the drones, the zombies, the black smoke, and the yellow sand were all mixed together. Countless zombies surged in the opposite direction after the flames. The sea of zombies had already lost the confidence of victory, and the Z2 zombies were finally cowering under the tyrannical charge of the armored troops.
The armored troops started moving again, and a large patch of yellow sand was split into two. They went around the area where the flames and smoke were mixed together, forming a huge encirclement. However, they slowed down and gradually advanced at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. The faster the tanks moved, the more fuel they consumed. If they maintained their momentum, the failure rate of the tanks would increase exponentially. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to repair the tanks every two days. Many bumper tanks would suddenly break down in the middle of an attack. Now that they were advancing at a normal speed, the mechanical tension of the tanks was alleviated, and at the same time, the time that the tanks could be used was extended, allowing them to be ready to deal the final blow to the sea of zombies.
When the thirty enormous airships arrived above the sea of zombies, even with the naked eye, one could see the dark clouds in the sky. The scene of the thirty airships arranged together was shocking. Each airship's airbag was equivalent to a huge warship, and the space occupied by the thirty airships cast a shadow on the ground that could practically shroud the endless sea of zombies.
When these airships slowly flew above the sea of zombies, dozens of transparent drones were cruising above the sea of zombies like a swarm of bees. Among them, there were three shuttle-shaped combat airships the size of small yachts. These three small combat airships were the three prototypes made by the UAV Research Institute. These three manned combat airships were the main air forces of the Yin Meng military's next development. Although they were nothing compared to the fighter jets before the doomsday, their durability and endurance were countless times better. As long as the pilots were willing, they could even drive these small airships to cruise the earth.
These three small airships did not cruise constantly like drones. On the contrary, they silently floated above the sea of zombies like hot air balloons. The small airships were divided into three directions, slowly cruising in the air as if they were looking for something. The 30 airships also stayed quietly in the sky as if they were waiting for something. As time passed by, the sea of zombies seemed to feel something. Countless zombies were like collapsed mountains, slowly spreading around. Anyone familiar with the zombies in Yin Meng knew that the Z2 zombies in the sea of zombies had lost control. Just like the Z2 zombie in Erdos, it was ready to abandon the troops and flee. At this moment, one of the small airships suddenly discovered something. Like a shark smelling blood, it quickly jumped to the position behind the zombies, opened the cabin, and dropped dozens of metal cans shining with silver light.
The metal pipes fell from the sky one after another. The moment they came into contact with the zombies, colorful paint sprayed out from the cans, dyeing the thousands of zombies. These cans didn't have the slightest killing power, their purpose was to color the zombies, dyeing the dark zombies in a variety of colors. After the small airships finished throwing the cans of paint over the zombies' heads, the sea of zombies had a colorful abstract picture. Of course, this wasn't the only scene. Almost every small airship would find a place worthy of throwing the cans during its slow patrol. When the colorful zombies slowly wandered around, the airships in the sky finally moved.
Every airship rushed towards the dyed zombies. The airships were like murderers descending slowly towards the sea of zombies. Shadows covered the zombies in the sky, and the sunlight was also dispersed. Only the colorful zombies could not feel the heavy shadows falling on them. When the airships were only a hundred meters above the ground, the cabin doors opened one by one. Then one by one, ceramic jars that looked like pickle jars rolled down the slanted stainless steel plate of the cabin door. These jars fell into the sea of zombies one after another and broke. At the moment when they broke, layers of thick green smoke filled the air among the colorful zombies, followed by ear-piercing screams from the zombies.
In the midst of this ear-piercing sound wave, countless colorful zombies had their heads exploding. They were like light bulbs that had exploded. Following this, countless zombies on the periphery seemed to have received an invisible summon, and they all surrounded the zombies in the center. After these zombies rushed into the thick green smoke, it was as if they had rushed into a black hole. The green smoke was like the mouth of a giant beast, waiting for the zombies to come and devour them. As more and more zombies disappeared into the thick green smoke, the expanding fog had already swallowed tens of thousands of zombies.
In the process of the airship's ascent, the dense sea of zombies was like a blooming green flower, curling and spreading in all directions, sucking in more zombies. Each blossoming green smoke would suck in thousands of zombies, and not long after, the size of the sea of zombies had decreased by a small half. Among the places where the thick fog was concentrated, there was a tendency to converge, enveloping all the zombies in the center. At this time, the sea of zombies had completely lost control, and the zombies were no longer as dense as before. The zombies at the edge had spontaneously dispersed, and the dense sea of zombies had also begun to show signs of scattering, revealing the grassland under their feet.
After waiting for two hours, the previously dense sea of zombies had already been divided into several pieces, and the green smoke had also been exhausted, revealing many pond-like green pools. In the gaps between these pools, countless scattered zombies wandered aimlessly, and from time to time, zombies would fall into the green pools of different sizes, and never get up again. At this time, the armored group that had formed a faint encirclement finally moved, and the dust that covered the sky rose again, forming a huge ring that rushed towards the center of the zombies. After this, countless mutant horses and off-road military vehicles also rushed out from behind the armored group to charge towards the zombies, and even more soldiers came from all directions to encircle the zombies. Further away, on the side of the long wooden caravan, countless commoners wearing ordinary clothes were holding glass bottles that were prepared to be filled with Source Corrosion and Corpse Liquid.
