Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields-Chapter 392 - 375: Assault on Zombie Island

The girls quickly washed up, got dressed, and went for breakfast.

They were the last batch to arrive.

Orianna felt that Rein was behaving very strangely.

Her face was flushed, her breathing was hurried, and when responding to others, she only said a few short and swift sentences.

"Rein! Come on, spill it!" Annie called out, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Spill what?"

"Your grand date! The boss didn't do anything too much to you, did he? Was the date super boring? Did you kiss him?! Oh my!"

"Behave, Annie!" Orianna snorted and gave the little prankster a pat on the head.

"The date was amazing! We went to the market, ate some snacks, saw all sorts of interesting things, and also listened to Katsya's concert."

"And what about the plan?!"

"Plan? Oh, right! Katsya, can you help me translate this?"

As Rein spoke, she sent a blob of darkness to Katsya, from which fell a piece of paper into Kaya's hands.

"Oh! Hehehe... oh... oh oh!" Katsya giggled while reading.

"Hurry up, don't tease me! Just say it!"

"I think it's best you don't read it, Katsya..." Orianna said, but the sparkle in Katsya's eyes told her it was already too late to stop.

"First item: Pick up Rein and tell her how beautiful she looks. Second item: Go to the market, walk around, have fun, and eat some snacks.

This one is already crossed off.

After that... go for a boat ride on the lake.

How romantic! This one is not yet crossed off.

Go watch a movie, sit in the back row, kiss, maybe even touch Rein a little, but not too much."

Initially, Rein was a little disappointed; she had wanted to go boating on the lake with Lin Yi...

But upon hearing the part about watching a movie, her face turned crimson, and she glared at Orianna.

"I was only trying to help you."

"I'll keep reading, hee hee hee.

After the movie, go to the park, take a walk, enjoy the beautiful scenery, compliment Rein, then have a bit of intimacy.

Be sure to touch her, but be gentle!

When things heat up, teleport home and enjoy to the fullest."

Katsya looked at Rein, whose face was beet-red and she covered it with her hands.

Katsya smiled and delivered her final verdict.

"If you ask me, it was a perfect date."

"Look!" Annie exclaimed, and everyone turned to her to see the reason for her excitement.

Lin Yi and Chen Youyou had just walked out of the house and were heading toward the bathing area together.

"What a playboy! He had a wonderful date with Rein, and as soon as he got home, he's hooking up with Chen Youyou!"

"Chen Youyou probably slipped in at the last minute, that sneaky little thing..."

"Yeah, Rein, you've got a tough fight ahead. Chen Youyou attended my concert last night, she saw you with Lin Yi."

"There's another happy couple over there. Look at them, they seem radiant!" Orianna complained.

"Good morning, everyone." Melanie said, her face flushed and unable to stop smiling.

Lin Yi appeared soon after, followed by Chen Youyou a few minutes later. The girls immediately shifted the conversation to various topics.

After breakfast, the usual morning meeting began.

Sylvie looked exhausted as she reported that the Weapon Smiths had been working all night to repair and upgrade the Hulud people's equipment.

They finished just as the sun rose.

The total expenditure was 5,500,000 Coins.

They hadn't had time to repair the motorcycles yet.

Chen Youyou reported on the survivors from Hanover and other affairs of the Shelter, while Solomon gave a report to the boss about army recruitment and the new recruits' training camp.

Lin Yi handed the list of people he was interested in to Solomon and received a briefing on the preparations for the military operation.

They planned to start demolishing and clearing the zombie-infested city that morning at 9 o'clock.

"Clearing" meant they would dismantle and reclaim all the buildings.

To achieve this, they set up a First Level outpost in the city so that debris could be transported there and then teleported to the pit.

They weren't worried about a sudden attack.

The scouts found the sewer tunnels in the city and conducted a thorough examination of them from the surface.

As soon as breakfast was over, they intended to bombard those tunnels with Flame Magic and then plug them with the city's earth and debris.

Next was Louis's report.

The upgrades on tanks and other captured vehicles were completed.

After that, Xiao Chuan reported on the supply of Arrows.

When not busy with combat, he was almost the main supplier of Magic Arrows.

Because he could apply magical effects twice as much as other Archers, yet used only half the Magic Power.

All the teams had been completed, with nearly 800 soldiers having consumed the Stat Reset Potion.

The Beastmen and Shapeshifters underwent the most change, their numbers reduced by a quarter, as many had replaced original Skills with more efficient ones.

Due to the reorganization, the number of Mages increased to 900.

Some Mages also changed their fields of specialization; now the teams included 170 Fire and Wind Mages.

The former hunters and scavengers from Hanover will soon join the army, and they will also begin gradually converting experienced civilian volunteers into regular soldiers.

In the past few days, 707 people have joined the army, and they have made efforts for this.

Solomon holds them to strict standards in the boot camp, at least requiring them to meet the minimum standards he has set.

He seems unaware that most soldiers in the army can't even meet his exceptionally high "minimum standards".

After breakfast, Lin Yi conducted an inspection, checking their ammunition reserves, containers of burning agent, and the power armor of civilian combatants.

Currently, they have exactly ten thousand sets of power armor.

As promised, the Rusted Fortress has manufactured many power armors, and they did it quickly and at low cost.

This armor provides good defense and can increase physical attributes by 2 points. Then he checked the reserves of anti-virus pills and other medications.

Meanwhile, all fire mages were gathering at Zombie City.

They rode on horses and beetles.

The scouts, after carefully studying the sewers that look more like underground mazes, found seven locations suitable for magic attacks.

The earth mages have flattened these areas and widened the tunnel entrances.

Just like during the snake pit incident, the mages surrounded the openings and began working together to create a massive fireball in mid-air.

Then, they turned it on like a faucet, spewing flames from the fireball into the underground.

They didn't wait to see what would happen but immediately fled the city.

A few minutes later, a third of the city was engulfed in flames. Flames shot out from hundreds of ground openings, annihilating those unfortunate zombies and setting the entire city ablaze.

Needless to say, the undead hidden in the sewers were all burned to ashes.

The mages, equipped with magic storage devices and energy cores, didn't have time to replace them,

Because their magic power was consumed too quickly. In fact, merely two minutes later, all the fire mages were as gaunt as mummies.

Currently, the shelter has three hundred magic storage devices, and the jewelers have been busy making them.

To complete the plan, the jewelers worked overtime, not sleeping or resting, but as a reward, they could go to the rehab center.

As soon as the city caught fire, the shelter launched an artillery strike. They aimed at what they believed to be the nests of mutants and giants.

But there was a problem...

Either Lin Yi pushed the Zombie General too hard, or they advanced their plans a bit too quickly...

A massive zombie horde appeared from the north and east of the city.

Drones were busy transmitting images of the artillery strike, so Siri's scout beetles scattered across the island sent out an alert of the approaching zombie horde.

Currently, the shelter has 124 scout beetles.

The massive zombie horde quickly approached the first line of defense in front of Zombie City in the desert.

Soldiers hurriedly took up defensive positions.

The operation was supposed to start an hour and a half later, so many soldiers weren't ready.

Moreover, the fire mages' magic power still hadn't recovered, and they couldn't fight for several hours.

A mage who had regained consciousness said he was overwhelmed by a barrage of experience notifications.

It turned out there were hundreds of thousands of zombies underground.

To reinforce the remaining defense lines in time, the first two layers of defense had to be abandoned.

After all, the front line is three kilometers long, a significant defensive zone, and without sufficient firepower, they simply couldn't hold it.

And, unfortunately, the zombies started attacking the entire section of the wall simultaneously...

The zombies would concentrate their attack on a specific area, trying to breach the line, but clearly, the general changed tactics.

After all, this is his island, not the human ark, where zombie bodies would be mysteriously absorbed underground...

Machine guns roared, arrows, spears, and boomerangs whistled as they flew out.

Even infantry with assault rifles switched to magic rounds, but the zombies still easily scaled the steel wall.

Barrels of burning agent buried in the desert, and the first thing the zombies did was dig them up and move them away.

The soldiers managed to detonate a few barrels of burning agent, but aside from burning a few hundred zombies, it had little effect.

The general had long prepared for this attack; Lin Yi could feel it in his bones.

It's evident that no mutants appeared this time, all the pressure came from ordinary undead.

Soon, the main trouble emerged: the three giants.

Da Chuan flew out to confront them, but he was only one dragon, and it was hard to fight against three massive monsters...

Additionally, treating critically injured humans is easier than treating critically injured dragons because they have sarcophagi and recovery platforms.

And dragons don't have those things.

Of course, dragons also have natural regeneration abilities, and severed limbs can grow back in a few weeks.

The zombies quickly breached the three layers of steel walls, then the fourth, and so on...

What happened next was nothing short of a bloody frenzy; amidst a large number of first and second-level enemies, fourth-level mutant zombies were hidden.

They wore rags, so no one noticed them.

These evolved zombies were surrounded by a group of low-level undead, capable of controlling these low-level zombies without revealing their own position.

Soon, soldiers began to notice zombies crawling out from under the ground in front of the walls.

They had dug tunnels beneath the walls!

However, this wasn't too alarming.

The tunnels quickly became clogged with bodies, and the zombies digging the tunnels were eventually suffocated by the bodies of their fellows, but...

Then, the zombies grabbed onto the steel wall, starting to pull down the three-kilometer-long wall simultaneously... 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

And they actually succeeded—the wall collapsed with a crash!

Thousands of zombies were crushed to death, but many zombies escaped. With the first wall down, they immediately began attacking the second...
