With a delicate shout from Renesmee, white frost surged rapidly, vanishing into the black currents.
"Haah—" At that moment, Lulu let out a sigh of relief, her expression visibly relaxing.
Clearly, Renesmee's frost domain had taken effect, freezing the rain of iron spears launched by the Zombie.
Suddenly, Renesmee's hands blurred, and her upper body swelled dramatically, even her proud chest seemingly increasing in size. It was a sight that made one's blood rush.
In an instant, the entire space experienced a sharp drop in temperature; for the first time, snowflakes began to fall over the equatorial plains! Then, a spectacular scene unfolded as the iron spears, previously entangled in Lulu's black mist, fell like birds with broken wings.
A rain of iron spears poured down from the sky, truly magnificent!
In just a moment, the once menacing group of iron spears seemed to lose all momentum and crashed to the ground like missiles without power.
The Zombie likely did not expect that its full-force attack could be so easily countered in the blink of an eye. However much it resented this outcome, it could not change the reality that had already occurred.
Yet with just this one strike, both Lulu and Renesmee were utterly exhausted; their high-level combat power had been depleted in such a short time.
"Artillery ready!" Lin Yi commanded as he observed the tide of Zombies surging forward.
Immediately, sounds of mechanical movements echoed from the city walls as all artillery began to calibrate, aiming directly at the densest clusters of Zombies.
The role of modern artillery had diminished significantly; all artillery designs had not changed much from a century ago. However, in terms of shooting accuracy and lethality, today's artillery far surpassed that of the past.
The sound of explosions erupted with "Boom!" It seemed that other Satellite Cities were also under attack as cannon fire echoed continuously.
For both the Zombies and humans, this battle was one of attrition. Across a battlefield spanning over a hundred kilometers—on land and in water—fierce battles for survival raged everywhere. The forces led by Lin Yi were merely one notable power within this Ten Million Level conflict, but they were relatively well-known among people.
The Zombie attack was quickly repelled; they left behind a ground littered with corpses! Meanwhile, on the Human Camp side, weapons were smoking everywhere alongside heaps of spent bullet casings piled high like mountains.
The decisive battle began with the first rays of sunlight illuminating the land. According to the timeline, that moment was fast approaching.
At that moment, Lin Yi received new intelligence from Jiao Jiao: Wu Hao had led a large force to the outskirts of the Gulf of Guinea Defense Zone, effectively forming a counter-encirclement against the Zombies surrounding the Gulf of Guinea.
Of course, these people could not encircle the Zombies. Other factions were also rushing to the scene. The outer Armed Forces had nearly reached a million troops, and all of them were elite fighters. Ordinary Zombies were completely insignificant in the face of such power.
"Connect me to Wu Hao!" Lin Yi thought for a moment and decided to get a detailed understanding of the situation from Wu Hao.
Soon, Jiao Jiao relayed the message to Lin Yi's communicator: "Wu Hao, this is Lin Yi. How is the situation on your end?"
"I just arrived and am currently setting up a defensive perimeter and coordinating with neighboring units! It looks like this battle will start by noon at the latest, so we need to be prepared!" Wu Hao panted on the other end; his combat ability was relatively weak, and such a strenuous journey was naturally exhausting.
"What is your troop situation now?" Although Lin Yi had cleared many obstacles along the way, it did not mean that the subsequent forces would have an easy time.
"It's okay; there are only a few stray Zombies, which we easily dealt with. Plus, there are plenty of Nine-Star Combat Power experts around us secretly guarding, so the Zombies haven't made any excessive moves!"
Lin Yi nodded to himself; he could sense many powerful presences moving around them. High-level combat power was the fundamental guarantee for this battle; even Lin Yi and his team were merely advanced cannon fodder.
In the end, who could survive depended on their own abilities. This was a war of attrition, and it was all about who could hold out until the end.
...
In the following time, Lin Yi discussed specific battle plans with Wu Hao. The entire outer Armed Forces would unite and deploy before noon, but there was still debate over who would command this united force.
Lin Yi naturally paid no mind to these matters; such things were always determined by the strong. The outer forces were indeed stronger than those within the Gulf of Guinea Defense Zone and would definitely be led by someone with High-Level Combat Power.
As the decisive moment approached, everyone felt an overwhelming pressure. The continuous battles had shown them the determination and might of the Zombies.
The endless emergence of High-Level Combat Power among the Zombies cast a shadow over everyone's hearts. Although the population of the Gulf of Guinea Human Camp had reached twenty million, less than one-tenth were truly capable of fighting. All Zombies were soldiers, and most were fearless in battle; that was what made them truly terrifying.
Six hours later, the sun hung high above everyone's heads, scorching rays illuminating every inch of land as temperatures soared, as if trying to roast the very ground itself.
Three hours prior, Lin Yi had received notification from the Gulf of Guinea Defense Zone Commander that noon marked the true day of reckoning!
The Zombies and humans had become locked in combat; the only battle left was a primal struggle for survival! Large-scale bombing weapons were no longer applicable at this moment, as they would risk harming their own forces.
A distant and ancient sound echoed, growing closer, spreading out into the distance. It was the oldest Death Knell.
"Dong—dong..." The Death Knell drew ever nearer to the number twelve, each reverberation striking at the hearts of everyone present.
With each toll of the Death Knell, both Zombies and humans instinctively tightened their grips on their weapons!
"Dong—" The final Death Knell rang out, and in that moment, the world stood still!
"Kill—"
"Roar—"
Zombies and humans roared in unison; whether they were Zombies or humans, everyone seemed to be filled with an exhilarating rush of adrenaline!
"Clang—" A Zombie clashed with a human soldier. The soldier's long knife struck against the Zombie's worn Axe, producing a sharp metallic tremor.
Immediately, the soldier stepped back as quickly as possible, angling his long knife toward the Zombie's waist.
"Whoosh—" The soldier felt a chilling wind rush toward his face. Instinctively, he looked up to see a massive axe shadow hurtling toward him.
The soldier did not shout; he simply quickened his movements with the long knife in hand.
"Thud!" Two metallic sounds pierced through the air almost simultaneously. The soldier's head was cleaved in two by the Axe, red and white brain matter spraying out in an instant.
The Zombie’s body was also sliced in half by the soldier’s long knife, collapsing to the ground.
The battle had only just begun. As the first soldier and the first Zombie fell, both sides finally engaged in close combat.
Lin Yi remained atop the wall, not directly participating in the melee. As the highest commander of Satellite City, his role was more about coordinating the efforts of everyone involved.
More importantly, since the enemy's High-Level Combat Power had yet to appear, Lin Yi saw no need to intervene personally.
This was the most primal of battles, where everyone fought in the most primitive way possible—either you die or I live, continuously playing out in this space.
Even the bloodiest of fights became monotonous after a while, so dull that even as he watched the victorious Zombie gnawing on the intestines of fallen soldiers, Lin Yi's eyes did not twitch even slightly.
He had seen too many scenes like this; it wasn't numbness but a deep sense of helplessness.
"It seems they only intend to send those ordinary Zombies to test us today," Li Qiweng said, standing beside Lin Yi. She knew that in a battle of this scale, they could be scattered at any moment, which was a terrifying thought.
Lin Yi wrapped his arm around Li Qiweng's slender waist and spoke softly, "No matter what happens, I will do my best to fulfill my duties and protect your safety."
A hint of color flushed Li Qiweng's face, barely noticeable. Love was always the most beautiful yet most perplexing thing in the world.
As expected, the battle progressed just as Li Qiweng had said. Millions were divided into countless fighting groups, battling from high noon until sunset. The entire battlefield was drenched in blood. The black Zombie fluid mingled with human blood, creating a hellish landscape. From above, it appeared as a terrifying blend of black and red.
Eventually, somewhere along the line, the fighting ceased. The battlefield quickly returned to silence. The tide of Zombies receded while soldiers retreated to their Defense Zones.
Under the red sun, the battlefield lay in ruins, littered with human soldiers reduced to mere bones and Zombies hacked into piles of flesh.
Human combat power was still significantly stronger than that of ordinary Zombies. Although they were vastly outnumbered, they fought to a standstill!
In this vast battlefield spanning over a hundred kilometers, after six bloody hours, countless lingering souls were buried beneath. This battle seemed only to be the beginning; as for where it would end, few could truly say.
