Chapter 292 The Scorching Battlefield
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
Tank shells exploded continuously in the horde of zombies, instantly igniting flames and sending zombies crashing down in droves.
Although the shells were extremely destructive, they were clearly far from sufficient when facing an endless horde of zombies...
Chief Steward Wang stared intently ahead, then waved his hand, issuing the order to attack once again.
"Fire! All fire!"
As soon as the words fell, "Da da da da da da..."
The sound of machine gun fire continued, and another wave of zombies fell in the foreground.
No one dared to stop for a moment; the scene before them stunned everyone present.
Han Shuo kept his finger firmly on the trigger, and the flash of the Gatling gun never stopped.
Swarms of zombies surged in from all directions, their bodies falling one after another. In just a few seconds, the group had killed thousands of zombies.
However, for a legion of millions of dead, this was merely a superficial wound, like a stone thrown into a lake that only caused a ripple.
There are too many zombies, far too many.
"You yellow-eyed brats, prepare to die for me!"
The fat man became completely fired up, shouting wildly as he fired at the zombies in front of him.
However, even with such fierce firepower, the horde of zombies in the distance continued to advance slowly.
Everyone knows that relying solely on firearms is definitely not enough.
The next second, when Chief Steward Wang saw the zombie horde getting closer again, he immediately gave the next command.
"Rocket launchers, mortars, fire!"
"yes!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the soldiers responsible for operating the two weapons got ready.
And there it was!
One rocket after another was fired into the distance.
During this time, the tank crew had already loaded the second shell.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
Rockets and artillery shells rained down on the horde of corpses, igniting another sea of fire.
"good!"
Upon seeing the scene ahead, Han Shuo couldn't help but shout with joy.
Because, amidst the hail of bullets, and with the support of these heavy weapons, the advancing zombies actually stopped in their tracks.
At this moment, the zombie horde and the defensive line guarded by Han Shuo and others were about 200 meters apart.
This distance was not shortened further.
"It seems that even with overwhelming firepower, we can still hold off these ordinary zombies."
Han Shuo thought to himself, but did not relax his vigilance in the slightest.
Because he knew that the real threat to the underground research institute was never these ordinary zombies.
Alien species and giant zombies have not yet appeared!
Most importantly, he knew that behind the horde of zombies, there was an even more terrifying being.
That's the Zombie King!
When a wise king is able to command all the zombies here, it means that this war will definitely not end easily.
Humans have their own tactics, and the zombie king will also have his own tactics.
At this point, the two sides were locked in a stalemate on the battlefield.
Humans could not repel the horde of zombies, and the horde could not advance any further.
This is only the first clash between the two sides. The real outcome will depend on the hidden cards they each have up their sleeves.
...
Unbeknownst to them, under the bombardment of artillery fire, the horde of zombies 200 meters away had already died in droves.
The zombie corpses piled up to several meters high.
Behind them, an endless stream of zombies continued to pour out.
The sight of the densely packed horde of corpses ahead sent chills down everyone's spines.
They've been killing for so long, and there's still no end in sight...
This feeling is like they can't kill them all.
The number of zombies is definitely in the millions. What does this mean?
This means that each of the more than 10,000 people here needs to kill nearly a thousand zombies in order to completely clear the enemy from the battlefield.
These nearly a thousand zombies are not as simple as each person firing a thousand bullets.
Zombies have incredibly long lifespans; bullets need to hit their heads precisely for them to die completely.
The two sides were quite far apart, so even if everyone kept firing, the probability of hitting a head wouldn't be very high.
They couldn't aim and fire in bursts because without the impact of the bullets to repel the zombie horde, the zombies would quickly surge up again.
Fortunately, the underground research institute had prepared ample ammunition for everyone, so they didn't need to worry about running out of bullets for a short time.
...
As night fell, Chief Steward Wang noticed that everyone's vision was somewhat obstructed, so he issued another battle order!
"East, South, West, North! Throwers in all four directions, begin to light up the battlefield!"
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many people on the defensive line stopped firing and prepared to begin their operation.
Those who stopped this time were all genetically engineered humans.
Han Shuo, Fatty, and Xiao Zhao also temporarily took on the role of throwers.
Because illuminating the battlefield requires throwing flares, incendiary bombs, or similar weapons into the horde of zombies.
A distance of 200 meters is something that an ordinary person simply cannot throw that far.
Only genetically modified humans, who are stronger, can throw these projectile weapons into the horde of zombies without getting too close.
...
After putting down the Gatling gun, Han Shuo turned around and picked up a few incendiary bombs from the ground. At the same time, the fat man and Xiao Zhao on either side of him were ready.
The three of them looked at each other and nodded, then rushed forward without any hesitation.
Besides the three of them, the other genetically modified humans on the defensive line also ran out.
At this moment, Steward Wang's voice rang out again from behind everyone.
"Everyone else, keep firing and provide cover for the throwers who have temporarily left the formation."
"yes!"
The soldiers who remained stationed on the defensive line kept pulling the triggers.
Although many survivors were temporary additions to the war and their marksmanship wasn't very accurate, they weren't blind.
These people fired in a direction that avoided the position of the thrower in front.
And so, bullets flew past Han Shuo in a dense hail.
He quickly arrived at the very center of the battlefield.
From this position, we are only about 100 meters away from the horde of corpses ahead.
With the power of genetically engineered humans, they were able to reach the throwing range completely.
Without the slightest hesitation, Han Shuo and his two companions pulled the pins on the incendiary bombs and threw them one after another into the horde of corpses.
Five seconds later, after the three of them had thrown all the incendiary grenades, Han Shuo decisively turned around and ran back.
"Fatty, Xiao Zhao, let's go!"
"Um!"
As the throwers returned to their original positions, Han Shuo looked around. At this moment, the sea of fire was gradually burning in the distance.
The darkness was also illuminated, and with the fire as a shield, the pressure on the people on the defensive line was reduced once again.
However, Han Shuo knew that the Zombie King would never allow them to slaughter the zombies here.
It seems that the alien species will be making their appearance very soon!
