Command post.
While listening to his subordinates' reports, Yuan Weijie and the others stared at the battlefield with solemn expressions.
Even with the help of those two stabilizing the most worrying area, the overall situation on the battlefield was still far from optimistic.
"General Yuan, of the more than 9,000 men, more than 1,500 have already been lost, and of the 5,500 suicide squad members, more than 1,300 have also died!"
Now, some officers became even more nervous.
"General Yuan, shouldn't we light the fire to relieve the pressure on the main battlefield?"
"General Yuan, let's set it on fire! The losses in section A of the main battlefield have already exceeded a quarter! If this continues, we can't hold on any longer."
But Yuan Weijie remained unmoved.
An officer then explained, "We can't light it! The wind is blowing this way right now. If we light it, the flames and thick smoke will spread this way, and the smoke will be the biggest threat. The soldiers on the city wall won't be able to fire at all! They'll have no choice but to retreat!"
His explanation silenced everyone.
Even God isn't on their side.
Yuan Weijie said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Tell everyone to hold on a little longer. Flames are the last resort. Once the fire is lit, we can only leave it to fate."
On the other side.
Bai Feiming and Su Ziyu had lost count of how many zombies they had killed.
Their robes were now stained black and red with blood.
However, the horror of the zombie horde was fully revealed in this relatively flat area.
Here, there is nowhere to hide, and no terrain to use; as far as the eye can see, there are only endless zombies.
Suddenly, Nangong Wenyao's voice came through the walkie-talkie on the two of them, "Sister Su, Xiaoyu, Qingxuan and I have arrived above Lancheng. We can see you! We brought several tons of level-three eel entrails, which we can throw down to attract the zombies' attack!"
Bai Feiming looked up at the sky and, sure enough, two giant golden eagles were circling in the air, carrying several large bags wrapped in waterproof cloth.
She pressed the talk button and shouted, "Nangong, throw these entrails thirty meters in front of us! Spread them wide! Also, have Qingxuan find all the Level 1 Evolvers in the city! They are spies within the Chosen Ones sect, and I'm worried they might have other ways to cause trouble!"
She killed the zombies that surrounded her and said again, "Also..."
"good!"
Soon, the two giant golden eagles threw the bags of entrails they were holding in their claws onto the ground.
In just a few leaps, the two giant golden eagles tore through the waterproof cloth, dragging out the entrails from the bag and scattering them all over the ground.
Upon seeing and smelling these internal organs, the zombie horde went berserk.
It charged towards those internal organs like a madman.
Following Bai Feiming's instructions, Nangong Wenyao and Li Qingxuan rode giant golden eagles, circling in the air.
Soon, Li Qingxuan seemed to have discovered something and commanded the giant bird to rush towards a certain place.
Meanwhile, Nangong Wenyao found the command post on the rooftop.
Yuan Weijie and the others stared blankly as the two giant golden eagles dropped something, and then the zombie horde rushed toward the dropped object as if they had gone mad.
Standing on higher ground, they could see more clearly, as if all the zombies were drawn to what the two giant golden eagles had dropped.
Xiao Tian put down his binoculars and looked at Yuan Weijie with delight, saying, "It's the entrails of a giant beast! General Yuan, they're trying to use these entrails to distract the horde of corpses and relieve pressure on the entire front!"
Yuan Weijie also put down his binoculars and said with emotion, "So many giant beast entrails, probably weighing over ten or twenty tons, would be the best food for survivors, but now they're just being used to delay the zombies. And those two, they single-handedly held the most dangerous place. This kindness..."
He didn't continue speaking.
Some favors are best kept in your heart and repaid when the opportunity arises.
At that moment, the giant golden eagle landed on the rooftop.
None of Yuan Weijie and the others were afraid.
But when they saw Nangong Wenyao jumping down from the giant golden eagle, they were all slightly taken aback.
Another woman?
She was an extremely beautiful woman!
And judging from her outfit, it's similar to that girl from last time!
Could it be another super expert?
Nangong Wenyao only needed one glance to clearly see what Yuan Weijie and the others were thinking.
Except for that level two evolver.
Having already discerned Yuan Weijie and the others' intentions, Nangong Wenyao understood immediately. She then cut to the chase, saying with a serious expression, "We have learned that the Chosen Ones have left several spies here, all of them Level 1 Evolvers! Our people have already gone to arrest them!"
Nangong Wenyao's words surprised Yuan Weijie and the others once again.
The Chosen Ones are really trying every means to wipe them out!
Yuan Weijie's eyes were filled with anger, but he didn't show it directly. Instead, he said gratefully to Nangong Wenyao, "Thank you for everything you've done for us!"
Nangong Wenyao nodded and said earnestly, "Our reinforcements are on their way. We will do everything in our power to hold them off and help your soldiers hold on!"
Tears welled up in Yuan Weijie's eyes. He clenched his fists and said with a serious expression, "Thank you! We will definitely repay your kindness."
Nangong Wenyao smiled slightly and jumped onto the back of the golden eagle.
On the other side.
Inside a house, four people sat together, discussing something in hushed tones.
"The zombies have besieged the city, why hasn't the knight appeared yet and given us our next orders?"
"Shouldn't we retreat? If we don't run now, the zombies will completely surround us and we won't be able to escape even if we want to."
"If we retreat before completing our mission, the Lord and the Knight will not let us go, and they will not let our families go either."
"But what are our next orders? The two 120mm rocket launchers that the Knight gave us must be used to attack something."
"I think the most likely reason is to kill Yuan Weijie. Once he's dead, the whole city will be in chaos! And we'll be even less able to stop the zombies."
"But we can't deal with that Xiao Tian at all. Even among the knights, there aren't many who can handle him! Otherwise, the knights wouldn't have let him live until now."
“Killing Yuan Weijie now wouldn’t be difficult; just find a suitable spot and fire a rocket at him. What I’m worried about is that’s not the mission.”
"But the knight hasn't contacted us at all."
Just then, one of the people's heads suddenly fell off, and blood gushed out from the neatly cut neck.
The other three were all splattered with blood, and they were all stunned, staring blankly at this sudden scene.
After all, they were all evolved beings who had survived the apocalypse for so long. The remaining three suddenly came to their senses, scattered, and stared warily at the figure that had suddenly appeared in the room.
