The alarms blared urgently within the base, and a tense atmosphere permeated every corner.

On the wide square, hordes of zombies surged in like a tide, their roars echoing and sending chills down one's spine.

"Base commander, the zombie horde is less than five kilometers away from our base."

"How many are there? Can you estimate the quantity?"

Even Qiu Ling's special ability couldn't detect how many zombies there were on such a large scale.

"According to the hummingbird's reconnaissance, the zombie king was constantly gathering more zombies as the horde moved. The final number, according to the research institute's calculations, is at least 150,000."

Moreover, they are all high-level zombies of level four or above.

"What are the defense arrangements?"

"All the major legions and superpowered groups are in position. As soon as the zombies appear, we will attack immediately."

"Issue a Level 1 alert immediately and arrange for children under the age of seven to take emergency refuge in the underground research institute."

The number and level of the zombie horde far exceeded his expectations. At their current size, they could easily destroy a large base with a population of millions.

If it weren't for the fact that my precious daughter and Fu Muyu were of high rank, and that the army had introduced some special ability warriors after storming the underground research institute, the situation would have been different.

It's possible that Long Ye chose to lead the entire base to relocate after Long Yangyang discovered the scale of the zombie town.

Even the worst weather is better than dying in a zombie apocalypse.

······

The horde of zombies gradually approached the base's walls, and soon they were close to the first line of defense.

"Bang bang bang—" The zombie horde's stiff hands kept pounding against the thick barbed wire, making dull sounds.

Some zombies began to climb along the wall; their movements were stiff, yet they carried a terrifying persistence.

At the same time, more zombies converged from all directions, tightly surrounding the entire base.

"Power up the iron fence, beware of wind-type zombie air attacks."

As soon as Longye finished speaking, countless zombies rose into the air, flew over the iron net, and headed towards the base.

"Zizzi-"

The electric current of tens of millions of volts was so powerful that even level four zombies could not withstand it, and they were electrocuted and fell to the ground in batches.

But soon they got up, their bodies covered in a layer of brown armor, and continued on their way.

"These zombies climbing the iron fence are all earth-type zombies."

"Gunners, prepare to kill these zombies before they appear."

The encirclement of the zombie horde was tightening, and the base's defenders nervously aimed at the ever-approaching zombies. A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, making every breath feel difficult.

The howls of zombies mingled with the clanging of barbed wire, creating a jarring and unsettling noise.

"So far, no zombies of level six or above have appeared." Qiu Ling knew this using her supernatural ability.

At this moment, the base's high-ranking officials and the leaders of all the superpowered groups were in the base's conference room, observing the battle situation through the information department's video feed.

The sounds of shells, explosions, and attacks reverberated throughout the base, almost deafening everyone.

"This zombie king is quite powerful," Han Qinghan remarked.

It's obvious that these level 4 and 5 zombie hordes are the vanguard arranged by the enemy, commonly known as cannon fodder.

The other side's objective was clearly the same as theirs: to wage a war of attrition.

On one side are tireless zombies, and on the other are humans. If this continues, it's obvious who will give out first.

Time passed second by second, and the light in the sky gradually disappeared.

The searchlights on the wall flickered faintly in the darkness, their light and shadows swaying among the zombie horde, creating distorted and terrifying images.

"Lingling, how is it? Have any zombies of level six or above appeared?" Long Yangyang asked.

With such a massive zombie siege, Qiu Ling's special abilities were fully exposed during the battle.

"No." Qiu Ling shook her head.

The hummingbird detectors created by Wu Heng and Xiao Tu flew over the battlefield, constantly reporting the situation on the battlefield.

Long Yangyang watched the horde of zombies fall and rise again amidst the gunfire. Unlike humans, zombies could stand up at any time as long as their crystal cores hadn't been extracted.

"These bombs are too weak, Dad. Didn't I ask Xiao Tu and Wu Heng to give you a new batch of explosives?"

Long Ye nodded and ordered Long Yuanchen, "Commander Long, after the next batch of soldiers are handed over, change to gold weapons."

"receive."

The golden weapon that Longye mentioned is a gun and ammunition developed using Long Yangyang's mutated corn as firepower.

As Long Yangyang's superpower level increased, the mutated corn jade she contracted also became an eighth-level mutated plant.

Its corn bombs are extremely powerful; the most powerful corn bomb, while not as powerful as a nuclear bomb, is comparable to an intercontinental ballistic missile.

The base staff rotates combat personnel every six hours, while logistics and medical personnel rotate every eight hours.

At this time, neither side's main forces had entered the fray, and the time for a full-scale war had not yet arrived.

The enemy is using these cannon fodder to deplete their forces, but it depends on whether they are willing to accept the challenge.

"Sister Long, are you planning to strike first?"

Long Yangyang nodded. "They obviously didn't expect these zombies to survive. In that case, let's go along with what they want."

But considering the possibility of a war of attrition, that's impossible.

Both sides are well aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses.

She's not crazy enough to wage a war of attrition against zombies.

"Boom boom——"

The explosions grew more frequent, and the flames illuminated the dark night sky.

Combatants operated various weapons to stop the zombie horde's advance.

Some heavy machine guns fired rapid fire, and corn-shaped bullets flew out, forming deadly barrages.

The corn bomb exploded amidst the horde of zombies, sending up a shower of bloody, mangled fragments.

Each explosion was accompanied by the shrill screams of zombies, whose bodies twisted and turned into terrifying fireballs.

Until they were completely burned away, leaving only crystal nuclei.

The battle lasted until midnight, during which many zombies died, and the entire space was filled with the stench of rotting zombies.

"What are the casualties?" Longye asked.

"More than 30,000 people were seriously injured and 5,000 died, most of whom were ambushed by wind-type zombies," Long Yuanchen replied.

Aerial combat is at a significant disadvantage for them.

Among the zombie horde, there are at least nearly ten thousand wind-type zombies.

The situation is quite the opposite at the base. There are not many wind-type ability users to begin with, let alone high-level ones like level four or five.

There are fewer than a hundred people in the base.

As for aircraft, a technology that requires a large amount of manpower and resources, it's beyond the capabilities of our current base to research and develop.

If it weren't for Yangyang's powerful corn bombs, the base would have suffered a huge loss in this zombie attack.

Seeing that the zombie horde's offensive momentum was weakening, Long Yuanchen knew that the zombie king behind them was probably planning a new attack.
