The horde of corpses on the edge of the battlefield continued to surge, but under the precise fire of thousands of soldiers from the First Army, it was nothing but a futile sacrifice.
Soon, the number of zombies surging in decreased.
Wu Ming issued a new order: "One regiment will stay behind to protect the battlefield, and the rest of the infantry will board the vehicles and enter the county town to wipe out the remaining zombies!"
The soldiers, already fully equipped and ready to go, quickly boarded various modified vehicles.
Armored vehicles led the way, followed closely by off-road vehicles and pickup trucks, making their way into the county town.
Hundreds of modified vehicles filed in, and under the reconnaissance of drones and the command of the headquarters, they quickly dispersed and entered the auxiliary roads in groups of three or five.
These modified vehicles have protective railings and firing ports installed on both sides of the cargo compartment, allowing soldiers to fire without having to lean out.
Their automatic rifles and light machine guns continuously spewed fire, shooting down the zombies that rushed out of the alleys along the way.
Wherever they went, zombies fell to the ground, and not a single one could even get close to the vehicle.
Each time an area is cleared, trucks will drive in, and a group of soldiers will jump off the trucks.
They cleared out the zombies building by building.
These soldiers, on the contrary, disliked using firearms and preferred to use melee weapons.
They were both accurate and ruthless when killing zombies.
Lin Lu rode in the command vehicle, following behind the troops into the county town.
This was her first time truly entering a county town that was still in the process of being recovered.
The sights along the way were horrifying to her; the streets were lined with abandoned vehicles and collapsed buildings, and the ground was littered with the remains of zombies and putrid dark red blood.
Watching those formidable soldiers fight the zombies hand-to-hand with various melee weapons instead of firearms.
Her eyes were filled with shock.
She could tell that these soldiers were not evolved beings.
But their skills, techniques, and physical abilities far surpassed those of the ordinary soldiers under her command!
She even had the illusion that if these ordinary soldiers joined forces...
Even if only the use of cold weapons is permitted.
Those level one evolvers in Deer Cry Fortress could probably only take on three or four opponents at most.
Is this the qualitative change that Brother Wu Ming mentioned, caused by the enhancement fluid and long-term consumption of evolved beast meat?
The revival of China is so powerful that even ordinary soldiers are this strong!
Lin Lu glanced at Wu Ming sitting next to her, but his eyes showed no sign of anything unusual.
This indicates that the soldiers' performance was just the norm.
Wu Ming thought Lin Lu had seen enough, and said with a smile, "Little Lu, why don't we go to the giant rat area? There are no high-level evolved zombies in this county, so nothing unexpected will happen."
Lin Lu nodded, then subconsciously glanced at the reconnaissance drones that were everywhere in the sky.
She felt a surge of excitement.
With them, the entire county was under the control of the command center.
Achieve twice the result with half the effort!
While the troops were clearing out the zombies in the county town.
Another logistics unit of over a thousand people has begun collecting the corpses of mutated rats on the outskirts of the battlefield.
These soldiers, dressed in special protective suits and carrying sharp machetes and ropes, dragged the enormous carcasses of mutated rats to a designated area for mass storage.
The corpses of the mutated rats were incredibly heavy; a single ordinary mutated rat weighed over 100 pounds.
However, these soldiers were all elites who had joined the Restoration Army for at least six months or even a year.
The enhancement fluid and the long-term consumption of evolved beast meat have given them strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.
They can easily drag one of the mutated rats, each weighing around 100 pounds, with one hand.
The only thing that could be found was the corpse of the level-three mutated giant rat, which was as big as a small mountain and could only be removed with the help of a heavy crane.
They barely managed to lift it from the pool of blood and slowly place it in the center of an open space.
As Wu Ming approached, the soldiers saluted and shouted, "Commander!"
Wu Ming also saluted and said earnestly, "Keep working! We'll have a big meal at noon!"
His words made thousands of soldiers nearby cheer with joy.
This time, nearly 10,000 mutated rats were killed!
Even if you take away the inedible parts of a mutated rat, you only get 80 pounds of meat.
That's nearly 800,000 jin (400 tons) of evolved beast meat!
That's 400 tons of evolved beast meat!
And if you include that giant rat, we're rich!
They were all veterans of the Restoration Army, and they all understood. This time, they could eat their fill of evolved beast meat again!
Lin Lu walked to the corpse of the level-three mutated giant rat and observed the enormous creature up close.
Even if it is already dead.
Standing before it is like facing a mythical, primordial beast.
I'm under a lot of pressure.
Its fur is thick and tough; it was hit by a lot of heavy machine gun bullets during the battle.
But now it seems there isn't even the slightest trace left.
Its sharp claws, like blades forged from meteorite iron, gleamed with a cold light, sending chills down one's spine just by looking at them.
Suddenly, a man emerged from the hole on the giant rat's head, shouting excitedly, "Commander, we've got the energy essence! This color... it's level three energy essence! This really is a level three evolved beast!"
His words made Wu Ming's eyes light up.
The next second, Wu Ming jumped onto the giant rat's head and took the level-three energy essence from the man's hand.
Upon seeing this level-three energy essence, Wu Ming's face beamed with undisguised joy.
"Level 3 energy essence! It really is level 3 energy essence!" The soldier next to him shouted excitedly, his voice trembling slightly.
The surrounding soldiers also erupted in cheers, their faces filled with surprise and excitement.
