Zombies unleashed, and the soldiers unleashed their firepower as well.
Thirty soldiers from the second row poured their firepower recklessly into the horde of zombies.
Many of these soldiers in the second row had upgraded to Three Star rank.
A Three Star infantryman carries 1,200 rounds of ammunition!
A Three Star private carries 600 rounds of ammunition!
As the main combat units, these two types of soldiers can easily eliminate hundreds of zombies per person with precise shots, provided the situation is not too chaotic.
Of course, it's impossible to have such a controlled situation. The platform was wide open, and their task was to prevent the zombies from getting close.
Despite the precise shooting from these sharpshooters, zombies continued to be blown apart!
Bloody mist rose within the horde of zombies. Some dropped dead on the spot, some were snapped in half, and some kept crawling even after falling.
The zombie horde kept howling, with its horrifyingly grimacing and snarling faces.
In a team composed of ordinary survivors, this situation would likely cause them to collapse in fear.
But the Red Alert soldiers had no concept of fear. Perhaps they experienced fear in their previous lives, but after being granted new life by the system, they forgot the meaning of fear.
They possessed robust physiques, and there was also a medical team accompanying them. If they were injured in battle, their comrades would come to the rescue.
It could be said that as long as they didn't die, they could be saved, which made them even more fearless.
Bullets flew in crisscrossing trajectories, forming an impenetrable wall of firepower.
On the other side, the zombies kept pouring in. It was normal for Chishui County's station, as a county town, to have several thousand people on a regular day. It was impossible for these few dozen soldiers to quickly eliminate the horde of corpses.
Bodies fell one after another, yet more zombies immediately crawled and rolled forward, relentlessly. The soldiers' firepower was fierce, but they had to keep retreating.
Fortunately, the platform was long enough, providing them with enough space to fall back.
The front-row soldiers fired while the back-row soldiers switched magazines.
When some mutated zombies appeared, the snipers and heavy machine gunners started to demonstrate their prowess, ensuring that the zombies didn't get close.
The distance between the two sides remained around forty meters, and the bodies on the platform began to pile up.
Within the ranks of the soldiers, there were continuous bursts of brilliance, indicating that the soldiers were advancing in rank.
After upgrading, the soldiers' ammunition was fully replenished, and their stamina restored, making them formidable once again.
Xiao Fan and the two platoon leaders behind him watched the performance of the second row.
The scattered flesh, black blood, and gruesome scene no longer had any visual impact on them.
Especially Xiao Fan, after over a month of training, he had become well adapted to the post-apocalyptic world. Such scenes were no longer terrifying to him.
When the sound of gunfire gradually began to sparse, Xiao Fan gave the order.
"Second row, retreat! Third row, take over!"
"Yes! Second row, fall back!"
"Third row, move in and hold the line!"
The soldiers of the second row began to retreat, and as one soldier fell back, another soldier from the third row stepped forward. The transition between the two sides was orderly, something that almost no military could achieve.
The soldiers in the second row rested when they ran out of ammunition, while the soldiers in the third row immediately took their place, and the sound of gunfire became dense once again.
Although the zombies kept charging outward, their numbers were noticeably decreasing.
However, the soldiers' firepower remained undiminished, delivering fierce strikes and swiftly harvesting the lives of the zombies.
The intense battle continued for approximately thirty minutes, and finally, no more zombies appeared inside the waiting room.
Xiao Fan glanced around and immediately gave another order: "Security squad, engineers, artillerymen, and medics, anyone with a gun, move up and provide covering fire. Deploy the military dog unit and try to conserve the soldiers' ammunition."
These non-combat troops immediately took the place of the third platoon soldiers and advanced.
With the decrease in the number of zombies, the military dogs could finally be deployed.
These military dogs rushed into the zombie horde like a pack of wolves, engaging in combat with the zombies.
Ordinary zombies couldn't withstand a single bite from the military dogs. These dogs had undergone special training, surpassing the typical biting behavior of ordinary dogs and exhibiting a more intense bite.
The fragile bones in a human's neck were no match for the military dogs' bite.
As they fought with the military dogs, the advance of the zombie horde came to a halt.
Meanwhile, Xiao Fan's non-combat forces approached, armed with their rifles or handguns, and began precise shooting.
Although the sound of gunfire subsided somewhat, the efficiency of killing did not decrease at all.
Soldiers continued to level up, and the balance of numbers between the two sides started to reverse.
Before the number of zombies exceeded that of the Red Alert soldiers, everything had already been settled.
Shen Ruihui had reached one-star level during this battle. Looking at Xue Ninger, who had also reached one-star level, he secretly competed in his heart, determined not to lose to the female warrior, and to level up before her.
With the final zombie falling, the battle came to an end.
"Engineers, collect the supplies, make sure not to miss any gold or silver jewelry."
The engineers were professionals at this kind of miscellaneous work. They immediately went over and started searching for supplies within the zombie horde.
If they encountered any zombies that hadn't been completely killed, they were also responsible for finishing them off with a shot.
Nearly an hour passed, and the battlefield was cleaned up.
"Commander, the jewelry."
Xiao Fan took the jewelry and directly converted it, unexpectedly obtaining over five thousand gold!
Now the funds in his hands were close to one hundred and ten thousand, but he didn't touch these funds. When it came time to construct the base, large amounts of funds might be needed.
His main task now was to save money.
There were corpses scattered all over the platform, but Xiao Fan wouldn't leave them behind because he already knew some of the rules of zombie evolution.
Zombie evolution mainly relied on feeding and getting close to the meteorite crater. It had been over a month since the apocalypse began, and the energy of the meteorite crater was probably mostly depleted. The remaining means of evolution were through feeding.
Zombies didn't eat their living companions, but they would eat the dead ones. These corpses were a sumptuous feast and couldn't be left for the other zombies.
The intense sound of gunfire might even attract zombies near the square in front of the station, but these zombies didn't understand how to find a path, so they hadn't come for the time being.
Therefore, Xiao Fan gave the order for the flamethrower soldiers to take action and burn all these corpses!
Because the bullets of the Red Alert soldiers are refreshed every day at noon, and it's almost noon now, there's no need to keep too many gasoline bullets.
Several Flamethrower soldiers deployed, and fierce fire dragons swept across the platform, igniting and incinerating the corpses.
The intense burning lasted for about half an hour, reducing the thousands of zombies to charred remains, proving that they had once existed.
Such a big commotion and turmoil not only attracted the attention of the zombies but also caught the notice of some survivors.
