"Major Zhang, let me give it a try!"
Chief Engineer Li shouted anxiously as he watched the menacing ant-like zombies about to trample the underground city.
"Zombie shells? Okay, let's give it a try!"
Zhang Shaohua was completely out of options.
"good"
"Attention everyone, shells are loaded!"
At Chief Engineer Li's command, everyone sprang into action. They quickly moved the zombie shells to their designated positions and carefully pushed them into the cannon's muzzle; every movement was tense yet orderly.
"Lower it, lower it even more!"
Chief Engineer Li shouted loudly, hoping to eliminate the zombies charging at the front first. He knew that this was a life-or-death struggle, and if the enemy could not be hit accurately, the consequences would be unimaginable. So, everyone adjusted their angles and tried to make the shells hit the target more accurately.
Finally, everything was ready.
"Alright, launch!"
Chief Engineer Li issued the order.
A flash of fire appeared, and the cannonball shot out like an arrow, carrying boundless power as it hurtled toward the small hill made of piled-up rocks.
"boom......"
A deafening explosion rang out, and the shell landed steadily on the hill. However, unexpectedly, there was no scene of flying debris as expected.
Instead, a pale green mushroom cloud slowly rose from the explosion site, and this mysterious mushroom cloud quickly spread, enveloping the ant zombies.
As the ant zombies came into contact with the green gas, they suddenly vomited violently, their bodies trembling violently. Soon, these zombies lost all signs of life and collapsed to the ground.
Holy crap! Isn't this a biological weapon? Ye Lei saw the power of the zombie shell, but if humans absorbed this gas, they certainly wouldn't fare much better.
"Everyone, please put on your gas masks."
Ye Lei whispered, not wanting to end up like those ant-like zombies, vomiting uncontrollably and dying on the spot.
Soon, the faint green gas drifted towards the underground city. As it spread for a long time, the gas became thinner, and the ant zombies, while vomiting, continued to crawl forward.
"emission!"
At this critical moment, Ah Gang witnessed all of this. The time for the Witcher to act had come. He shouted loudly, ordering his men to nock arrows dipped in Soul Eater onto their bows, aim at the ant-like zombies, and fire them out like a torrential downpour.
These ant zombies, which had already been attacked by zombie shells, quickly lost their ability to move under the influence of the soul-devouring agent. They could no longer crawl and remained motionless in place, as if frozen in place, until they lost their lives.
At the same time, the ant zombies at the forefront were also besieged by demon hunters wielding knives and guns.
These demon hunters brandished their weapons, launching a fierce attack on the ant zombies without mercy. Under the barrage of blows, the yellow liquid flowing from the ant zombies splattered everywhere, staining shields, weapons, and the demon hunters' bodies, emitting a foul stench.
However, the situation changed again at this moment, and the pale green gas quickly drifted to the entrance of the underground city.
Many soldiers, unable to cover their mouths and noses in time, inhaled the gas and experienced the same symptoms as the ant zombies: they began to vomit incessantly and felt dizzy. Fortunately, their lives were not in danger.
"Quick, get them some water."
After seeing the soldiers' reactions, Chief Engineer Li shouted loudly, for only he knew best what this pale green gas was.
"Chief Engineer Li, keep firing, this time fire further."
"yes"
Zhang Shaohua also noticed that the power of these zombie shells far exceeded that of his heavy weapons and the attacks of the five warriors. With such powerful firepower, even a large number of ant-like zombies could be completely wiped out.
"Rumble..."
Zombie shells were continuously fired into the distance, the explosions resounding through the sky. The once arrogant and domineering ant queen was now feeling unprecedented fear. If this trend continued, her ant zombie army would rapidly decrease.
However, the Queen Corpse Ant did not back down. Instead, she turned around and faced the underground city with her rear end facing the direction of the city. Clearly, she was preparing to use her endless reproductive ability to fight against the humans.
Soon, one ant egg after another poured out from its rear end like a waterfall. As soon as the ant eggs landed, they quickly transformed into ant zombies and continued to attack the underground city.
"What are we going to do? We can't kill them all!"
When Deputy Captain Liu saw the waterfall of ant eggs, he shouted in disbelief.
"We must find a way to kill the queen ant, otherwise we'll never be able to kill them all."
Zhang Shaohua also sensed the power of the Queen Ant Corpse Emperor, which far exceeded his expectations.
"However, we have very few zombie shells left, and the zombie shells do not seem to do any damage to that queen ant."
Even when Chief Engineer Li thought victory was assured, he was caught off guard by the endless reproductive ability of the Queen Ant Corpse.
"Let me do it!"
Ye Lei shouted.
At this moment, whether it's heavy weapons, the Five Warriors, zombie cannonballs, or the Witcher, they have all done their utmost. It's almost fair to say that the dungeon has no chance of resistance whatsoever.
"Ye Lei, it's all up to you now, good luck!"
"Ye Lei, the safety of the underground city is entrusted to you."
"You won't let us down, will you?"
"With Ye Lei taking action, no matter how powerful you are, it's a piece of cake."
"Ye Lei, you must succeed!"
…………
When the survivors heard that Ye Lei was about to make a move, they felt a surge of excitement and anticipation. They stared wide-eyed at Ye Lei, hoping to find a glimmer of hope in him.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were tightly linked. They placed their last hope on Ye Lei, because only he could bring them a chance to live, and only he could lead them out of this desperate situation.
"Xiuxiu, yell at it!"
"Yes, brother."
Upon receiving the order, Xiuxiu took a deep breath, opened her mouth, and roared at the oncoming ant zombies. The roar was as loud as a lion's roar, deafening and awe-inspiring.
The ordinary zombies clearly couldn't withstand such a high decibel level; their ears were ringing, and their bodies began to tremble involuntarily.
Some zombies even collapsed and rolled on the ground because they couldn't bear the pain. The ant zombies in front were in an even worse state. Their heads were hit so hard that yellow liquid flowed from their seven orifices, and they stopped moving.
These yellow liquids emitted a pungent, nauseating odor.
Xiuxiu's Lion's Roar not only has powerful destructive force, but can also plunge enemies into confusion and fear.
At this point, the ant zombies had lost their organization and command, and they began to scatter and trample each other, creating a chaotic scene.
Xiuxiu's attack loosened the previously tightly organized ant zombie army, giving Ye Lei more opportunities to counterattack.
