Chapter 1206 - Precarious (1/2)

Under the giant wall, the bullet’s orange-yellow trajectories wove into a net and trapped the zombies outside of the wall.

After the NAC soldiers joined the fray, the net lasted for a few hours. In the past hours, the raging zombie flood stopped its ravage forward and Pingan Street escaped its inevitable doom.

However, the net that had last for a few hours was now at its breaking point. With the constant attack of zombies, it had finally began to break.

The armored force flanking from the side already exhausted all their ammunition and the energy in their fuel rods wer running out. It began to retreat to the military base.

Four transport helicopters acting as gunboats finally fired out the last ammunition in its cabin and began to return to AS Order far above the Bohai Bay.

Aurora-20S continuously provided fire coverage, but the limitations of the fighters meant that although the 20mm guns could wipe out everything in its path, they couldn’t fire forever. The interval between two subductions was often more than one minute apart, but only lasting for an instant. The interval between two air strikes was more than half-an-hour.

Even with Aurora-20s peerless cruising speed, resupply took time.

Looking at the line of defense that was constantly being squeezed under the giant wall, the NAC officer’s expression began to turn stern.

“Use the incendiary bombs, it will be too late if we don’t do it now.” Next to the officer, Song Chenyu, who had returned to the giant wall, reminded, “If the zombies on fire charged into the line of defense, the situation would be much worse.”

“I know.” The officer frowned, clenched his fist, and asked Song Chenyu, “How much of your fuel inventory is left?”

“Enough for two rounds.” Song Chenyu smiled bitterly. “You brought so many incendiary bombs, didn’t you think about bringing something like gasoline?”

“We didn’t bring gasoline, but we did bring a tactical nuke.” The officer shook his head.

Song Chenyu sighed.

A tactical nuke was very effective against personnel, but was counterproductive against zombies. Other than the first wave of the explosion clearing out the initial zombies, the remaining radiation would become the hotbed for zombies to continue to mutate. Radiation could not kill the living dead, since the X1 bacteria itself was a mutated variant…

In the increasingly tense situation under the giant wall, the soldiers were equipped with bayonet, ready to fight with the zombies in close range.

Finally, the officer made up his mind and roared into the intercom.

“ATTENTION Logistics team, get ready to dump the fuel!”

“Frontline, you must continue to hold your position! Throw the incendiary bombs in one minute!”

Buckets of fuel were poured onto the corpse slope outside the wall, and a mixture of jelly-like fuel, alcohol, and oil soaked down the gaps between corpses. The yellow oil turned the entire ramp into a viscous, amber-like landslide.

The zombies rushing to the edge of the wall fell on the landslide, and were trampled by the zombies behind them, sticking together by a silky thread.

The bloodthirsty pupils glared at them like demons that climbed out of the gate of hell. Their thin arms scratched around, as if they were tearing the people on the wall apart.

“Incendiary bomb! Fire!”

“Fire!”

The electromagnetic pulse cannons fired and sent the incendiary bombs into the air.

Followed by countless homing noises, the bombs smashed down from air and formed a series of orange fire flowers in the sea of zombies. The flames instantly engulfed the land covered in fuel and the light that shone off of the wall was as bright as day.

The zombies finally stopped in front of the raging fire.

When they felt the heat waves and smelled the stench blowing in their faces, the soldiers sighed with relief, unbuttoned their helmets, put their hot rifles to the side. They began resting against the wall while taking water or nutrient supply from the logistic soldiers.

Finally, they could get a break.

On top of the giant wall, the mood of the NAC officer was different than the soldiers who could gain a moment of rest.
