After taking a deep breath, Lin Xinghai looked at Zhang Yue and said gravely, "Go and make arrangents at once. Dispatch one artillery squad, three rapid response units, and 3,000 Combat Robots to each of Sentry Posts 107 and 109."
"What?! If you send that many troops over there, how are we supposed to defend this position?" Zhang Yue was stunned by Lin Xinghai’s order.
If they really did as Lin Xinghai said, the safety of those two sentry posts would be assured.
But here, they would only be left with one artillery squad, four rapid response units, and 4,000 Combat Robots.
Their defensive strength here would be cut by nearly two-thirds.
And yet, they had to face 4,000 Raging Zombies and an unknown number of Blood-colored Beetles. How could they possibly hold them off?
"It can’t be helped. With only their standard defenses, those sentry posts wouldn’t stand a chance against the Raging Zombies and Blood-colored Beetles. Only by concentrating enough forces there can we prevent any disasters."
"As for this position, we’re still here, aren’t we? Don’t worry. It’s just one wave. We can hold it off, even if it costs us. We’ll probably lose a lot of Combat Robots, though. You should be prepared for that," Lin Xinghai said, returning to his designated firing platform.
In addition, he also summoned two mbers of the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps to act as his loaders.
Hearing Lin Xinghai’s words and seeing his actions, Zhang Yue inexplicably felt a little more at ease. At the sa ti, he was also a little curious. "Are you planning to fight personally?"
"Mhm." Lin Xinghai nodded. His own strength was his greatest source of confidence. He dared to send so many troops away as reinforcents because he was sure he could personally make up for the gap in their combat power.
Receiving an affirmative answer, Zhang Yue felt a faint sense of anticipation build within him.
He had known Lin Xinghai for so ti, but he had never seen what it was like when he truly fought. Today, he would finally have the privilege of witnessing it.
The Raging Zombies were rapidly approaching. Even amidst the dense tide of Zombies, their completely red bodies were exceptionally conspicuous.
anwhile, Sentry Post 108 was a hive of activity. Squads that had already been prepared for battle were quickly regrouping and assembling to reinforce the other two sentry posts.
The remaining personnel rapidly adjusted their positions to fill the gaps left by the departing units.
It had to be said, the military’s discipline was truly on another level compared to that of rcenaries. Even when faced with a sudden situation requiring temporary adjustnts, they remained busy but not chaotic, working in an orderly and thodical way.
With such efficient mobility, and the fact that they were only a few hundred ters from the other two sentry posts, the reinforcent teams were certain to arrive before the Raging Zombies.
Therefore, Lin Xinghai only watched for a mont before turning his attention back to Sentry Post 108.
’Defending Sentry Post 108 is what truly matters.’
The Raging Zombies rapidly closed in: 2,500 ters... 2,000... 1,500... 1,000... 500 ters.
When the Raging Zombies were only 500 ters from the first line of defense, Lin Xinghai finally made his move.
While having the two mbers beside him load ammunition, he ordered the Armored Vehicle to move forward toward the first line of defense.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue wanted to speak up and stop him. According to Lin Xinghai’s arrangent, all personnel had already fallen back to the second line of defense, leaving only Combat Robots at the first.
But now Lin Xinghai was heading there himself—it was far too dangerous.
In the end, however, Zhang Yue only opened his mouth, not actually saying anything to stop him. He believed Lin Xinghai understood the danger better than he did.
So he just watched in silence, wanting to see what Lin Xinghai planned to do.
He soon noticed that the two subordinates beside Lin Xinghai began taking out Tearing Rifles and placing them on the firing platform.
Zhang Yue counted them. There were ten Tearing Rifles in total, with five placed on Lin Xinghai’s left and five on his right.
And that wasn’t all. After setting out the Tearing Rifles, the two mbers responsible for loading also produced 20 magazines and 10 automatic loading boxes.
’This is just ridiculous!’ Zhang Yue couldn’t help but think.
’Anyone who knew what was going on would understand these two were loading for Lin Xinghai. Anyone who didn’t would think they were servicing an entire firing squad!’
’Even an entire firing squad probably wouldn’t need ten automatic loading boxes.’
However, he had no more ti to dwell on it. As the Raging Zombies closed to just 300 ters from the first line of defense, the artillery squad opened fire.
Burning Bullets shot out from the Grenade Cannons, landing amidst the ranks of the Raging Zombies.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The sound of dense artillery fire rang out nonstop.
This kind of saturation bombardnt consud a terrifying amount of resources every second—enough to easily bankrupt an entire rcenary Corps.
But the effects were also remarkable. The 300-ter stretch of ground in front of the first defense line instantly beca a death zone.
In that mont, it wasn’t just the Ordinary and Interdiate Zombies in the tide; even the High Level Zombies faced certain death under the relentless bombardnt.
No matter how fast or agile these Raging Zombies were, it was useless without enough space to dodge.
They could only do their best to avoid the epicenters of the explosions, but they were powerless against the spreading shockwaves and shrapnel. All they could do was rely on their tough bodies to endure the punishnt.
However, it was clearly impossible to eliminate these Raging Zombies using only Burning Bullets and Grenade Cannons.
Once in their raging state, their body’s Defense Power nearly doubled. Unless a shell from a Grenade Cannon landed and detonated directly on their heads, it was almost impossible to kill them with the blast.
Moreover, because the Raging Zombies moved extrely fast, they could cross the bombardnt zone in a very short ti, which effectively reduced the number of hits they took.
The end result was that, aside from a few particularly unlucky ones, the vast majority of the Raging Zombies managed to charge out from under the dense artillery barrage.
Of course, the Raging Zombies that made it through were still heavily wounded.
But these Raging Zombies showed not the slightest hint of fear; on the contrary, they beca even more frenzied.
With a bloodthirsty craving in their eyes, they charged straight for the first line of defense, now just a stone’s throw away.
But they had no idea that this was the most dangerous mont, for Lin Xinghai, who had been preparing all this ti, had already raised a Tearing Rifle.
The very mont they broke through the artillery fire, Lin Xinghai pulled the trigger.
