The convoy arrived in Qingyang County Town.
Along the street, Xiao Fan and his group made their way to the former jewelry store with little obstruction.
However, this time, there were some scattered zombies on this street. Without the Lickers lurking around, some ordinary zombies had wandered over.
Xiao Fan even spotted the overturned Hummer, though it was unclear what the Hummer had come seeking.
The troop pushed forward and reached the broken bridge by the river.
"Arrrghh!!!"
The zombies on the opposite side of the river, spotting Xiao Fan and his team, excitedly gnashed their teeth and drooled, as if longing to immediately rush over and devour them.
"Everyone out of the vehicle and fortify our position."
Following Xiao Fan's order, the soldiers disembarked and began setting up defensive fortifications.
At this street intersection by the bridge, with a sizable area, the soldiers constructed multiple lines of defense.
Primarily composed of sandbags, they effectively impeded the zombies' advance while facilitating firing.
A large open space was left at the bridgehead, which would become the zombies' graveyard.
The setup proceeded in an orderly fashion; the zombies in two nearby buildings were swiftly cleared, and snipers occupied vantage points.
Over a dozen flamethrower soldiers prepared.
Over a dozen rocket launcher soldiers and anti-aircraft infantry prepared.
The medical team prepared.
"First squad, first and second platoons, prepare to engage the first wave!"
Sixty soldiers quickly took position, forming a semicircular enclosure around the bridgehead.
The engineers Ai Yin, Ma Dun, and others advanced to the bridgehead.
They opened their toolboxes, took out an assortment of tools, and busily got to work.
A few minutes later, a small room appeared.
This was a Red Alert black technology - a bridge repair hut.
The engineers entered the bridge repair hut and began operating, and a miraculous event occurred.
The previously destroyed and severed bridge began slowly repairing itself.
The steel and concrete gradually restored to their original state, and the bridge surface took shape.
Seeing the bridge's restoration, some zombies impatiently crowded at the bridgehead, ready to surge forth like a tidal wave once the bridge was complete.
Thousands upon thousands of zombies were packed on the opposite side, a black mass with no end in sight.
A gust of wind blew, carrying a nauseating stench of putrefaction.
The Red Alert soldiers stood motionless, utterly unfazed by the hellish scene before them.
Xiao Fan lit a cigarette, took out his assault pistol, and pulled back the bolt.
He relished the atmosphere of an impending massive battle and waited in anticipation.
The bridge was nearly complete!
Arrrghh!!!
Just as the bridge surface had only two meters left to connect, two agile zombies unexpectedly leaped across!
Bang!
A dull gunshot rang out as a sniper on the third floor opened fire.
One of the agile zombies instantly fell without a sound.
The second agile zombie charged forward, heading straight for the bridge repair hut where the engineers were stationed, already salivating to feast on them.
At that moment, Xiao Fan opened fire!
He unleashed a burst of rounds that sent the agile zombie staggering backwards!
Clang clang clang clang... Thud!
While firing, he adjusted his aim until one bullet finally struck the forehead, killing the agile zombie.
By then, the engineers had completed repairing the bridge and swiftly retreated.
As they withdrew, the Zombie Tide on the opposite side surged forth.
"Ai Yin, over here!"
These engineers were no feeble scholars; every Red Alert unit received basic military training. The few swiftly jumped behind the sandbags and into cover.
"Open fire!"
Following Xiao Fan's command, intense gunfire erupted!
The bridge was around fifteen to sixteen meters wide, and the front ranks of zombies charging across immediately met devastating fire.
The Red Alert soldiers didn't even need to aim; simply firing in that direction would ensure hits.
The Zombie Tide was so dense that many bullets pierced through multiple zombies.
Pff pff pff pff!!!
Black fountains of blood spurted into the air!
Zombies in the front were mowed down like blades of grass, while those behind immediately trampled over their fallen comrades and rolled forth.
Although zombies would devour their fallen brethren, the fresh, succulent meat across the bridge was far more enticing than these desiccated old jerky.
In such a situation, even if the zombies wanted to stop, it was impossible; the Zombie Tide behind would simply push the front ranks forward.
Not that the zombies had any intention of stopping.
If viewed from above, one would witness a spectacular scene.
The Red Alert soldiers fired relentlessly, countless bullets forming streaks of light shooting rapidly into the dense Zombie Tide.
Yet the zombie horde was endless; this narrow bridge was no obstacle. As the front ranks fell, those behind simply climbed over, stumbling and staggering forward.
The rate of fire couldn't stem the Zombie Tide's advance!
Until the heavy machine guns began roaring!
Two heavy machine guns opened fire first, their massive rounds propelled by immense force, forming a deadly stream of metal.
Each round could pierce through at least three or four zombies, shattering these walking corpses!
However, the heavy machine guns only delayed the inevitable, and their primary role was guarding the bridge. They couldn't handle the swarms of zombies spilling forth.
Soon, the Zombie Tide surged across the bridge and into the open plaza the Red Alert soldiers had prepared.
"Open fire! Unleash hell!"
Following the commander's order, all soldiers standing in position on both sides opened fire.
The frontal barrage transformed into an arcing ring of fire.
Without any mutant zombies, this would have been sufficient to contain the tide.
But the armored zombies appeared, the agile zombies rushed forth, inevitably affecting the soldiers' rate of fire.
The snipers on the rooftops also opened fire, but at this point, it was impossible to distinguish individual gunfire. The intense barrage sounded like a string of firecrackers, a continuous stream of noise, visible only as zombies being dismembered or decapitated.
Only a black torrent of blood began flowing forward like a river, quickly reaching the sandbags.
Two powerful armored zombies suddenly emerged!
They squeezed out from the side of the bridge and withstood several sniper rounds.
Their bodies riddled with bullet holes, they nevertheless pushed into the bridgehead plaza amid the Zombie Tide.
As they neared the second platoon's defensive position, they suddenly charged!
The soldiers fired desperately, using the sheer impact force to repel one, but the other charged straight up to the sandbags.
Arrrghh!!!
A massive claw swiped down, and one soldier was nearly doomed!
At the critical moment, he threw himself prone to the ground.
Whizz!!!
A soldier-fired missile streaked over from behind!
Kaboom!!!
The armored zombie's massive bulk was blown apart, showering the area in front of the sandbags with a rain of blood.
The soldier who had narrowly escaped death looked back and gave a thumbs-up, praising his comrade's timely support.
After the gesture, he immediately rejoined the battle.
Witnessing this scene, a gratified smile spread across Xiao Fan's face.
This was his troop - perfectly coordinated, unstoppable!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
