Chapter 1539: Blue Light Shrouds the Earth

We can't escape... we can't escape!!

They're all zombies, where can we possibly escape to!!

Don't open the door! If we don't open it, we still have hope to live!

On the outer defense line of Tulip Safe Zone, a squad leader responsible for guarding the city, his eyes blood-red, watched the chaotic crowd.

Shoving, arguing, chaos.

When the zombie tide surged like a flood covering the sky and earth, everyone realized that staying in the safe zone meant waiting to die.

From the third level down to the lowest stratum, every survivor tried to flee this place, to escape the unimaginably massive zombie tide.

The safe zone originally built nearby for easier access to supplies has now become a land of death.

When Tulip Safe Zone was first established, it wasn't that no one had worried about a zombie tide uprising.

But many thought that even if they couldn't hold out, they still had plenty of time to retreat backward.

But now, when disaster is everywhere, where is there any retreat to speak of?

"Don't run anymore!! Stop!!"

"Stay here! If you run out you'll die!! There's also a zombie tide behind us!!"

"Staying here still offers a sliver of hope!"

On the city wall, among the awakened ones guarding the city who were armed, some soldiers couldn't help but shout desperately downwards.

Amid the spreading panic, every survivor without flight capability was now screaming and charging the gate, begging the city-guarding soldiers to let them out.

When an unstoppable disaster descends, even if people know fleeing means death, they will instinctively run.

"Let us out!!"

"Guard the city!? Guard what!! Hundreds of millions of zombies!! Even the Fox Leader fled!! You think we didn't see that?!"

"Let us out! Only by going out can we survive!!"

Fear turns to anger.

Tens of thousands of humans crowded at the city gate, now climbing upward like a zombie tide.

Those trampled at the very bottom were all crying out and screaming.

The strong literally kicked off the wall and swiftly escaped the safe zone, fleeing into the wilderness.

The weak built human walls, desperately climbing outward.

They certainly knew that a huge number of monsters were closing in from outside.

But if they went out, at least the outside was vast, perhaps there would be a "gap" for them to escape through.

If they didn't go out, the entire safe zone would be like a can, and they would be meat in the zombies' mouths!

The voice was hoarse.

Repeated persuasion was useless; even realizing that if they kept stopping them, before any zombies arrived, the city would first descend into civil war.

Among the awakened ones guarding the city, a squad leader bitterly watched the members still holding their posts, and weakly waved his hand.

He could clearly see that even the team members wanted to escape.

But just watching the distant black line rapidly closing in, he was clearer than the panicked masses about where true hope lay.

Now the zombie tide has erupted for no reason, and it is moving in a single direction.

Although they will suffer the zombie tide's impact, the tide is highly likely to sweep past them and continue moving.

At that time, with the safe zone's defenses further improved, at least a few people could still survive.

But now, if they go out, with zombie tides on all sides, they have not even a shred of hope to survive!

He certainly knew that the crowd's desperation to flee was because those of the third level had already escaped first.

As a mere second level, his advice here was utterly meaningless.

"Captain! What should we do!!"

"If we hold out, if we don't open the door, people will kill us first!! They've gone mad!!"

Clutching his battle blade tightly, a young awakened soldier helplessly burst into tears.

Everything now is even more terrifying than when the apocalypse first broke out.

Beneath them, the awakened ones among the masses of survivors had already begun cursing and launching attacks at them.

Why is this happening? Why did the zombie tide suddenly erupt!! Is this world going to be destroyed!!

Who can save them!!

Under the sudden upheaval, every survivor in the North American War Zone felt like an ant beneath a collapsing sky and earth, unable to understand why this was happening.

Many people, even those of the third level, suddenly realized that the apocalypse had never changed at all.

In the face of any disaster, they seemed to have no power to resist.

What third level..

What safe zone..

In the face of true disaster, any natural calamity and zombie tide, they are powerless to resist.

Watching the team members already on the verge of collapse, the squad leader gave a bitter laugh and could only speak with a trembling voice:

"Then let's open the door... let everyone escape..."

"But I... those willing can stay here!! At least we can't..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

All that could be seen was that in the war zone channel, identical messages flooded the screen in an extremely short time.

Among the crowd, many survivors who constantly monitored the zombie tide's movements suddenly froze.

Just like a transmission, all survivors across the North American continent stared blankly at the war zone channel, as if it were meant to warn—not, but to remind them of the message.

"This is Long An! Huaxia War Zone Long'an Base!!"

Please all North American Survivors pay attention! In the next hour, you must stay in your respective Safe Zone!

Survivors in the wilderness, wildlands, or within ten kilometers of the zombie tide must enter the Safe Zone!

In thirty seconds, we will launch a Nuclear Strike at the following coordinates!

Coordinate 1: North Latitude: 41°04' West Longitude: 81°31

Coordinate 2: '-North Latitude: 42°4' West Longitude: 73°47

Coordinate 3: North Latitude: 43°4' West Longitude....

Coordinate 112: North Latitude: 40°6' West Longitude: 77°57'

Whoosh—Boom!!

Three seconds after the message flooded the screen.

A piercing screech suddenly tore through the sky above the Tulip Safe Zone.

Only seen, a silver-white spirit-energy fighter jet, like a white grim reaper, instantly flew over people's heads.

No one knew where these fighter jets appeared from.

Perhaps it was from the sky above ten thousand meters, or perhaps from near-Earth orbit pressing into the atmosphere.

From the moment when hundreds of fighter jets carrying spirit-energy nuclear bombs appeared, all of North America seemed to be plunged into shock.

Nuclear Strike!?

That was...

Countless Survivors instinctively looked up at the sky, toward the distant zombie tide.

Thirty seconds passed in an instant.

When the first blue sun blazed on the earth, the world filled with zombie howls seemed to regain tranquility.

So bright.

So glaring.
