Chapter 377: Scroll

A sudden burst of holy-gold spirit energy lit a corner of the night sky; the panicked soldiers, upon sensing Lin An's appearance, steadied considerably.

"It's the God Envoy!"

"The Envoy is about to act!"

Excited shouts rose as the third batch of soldiers charging the position fervently looked upward, many hearts stirred.

They couldn't see how many zombies there were, nor had they come into contact with any.

The previously panicked momentum from the sudden change instantly surged.

But unlike the high-morale soldiers, Lin An only felt his heart suddenly sink.

At a glance, endless zombies almost covered the entire front of the battlefield.

The 100,000 zombies facing the first-line squad were merely a "tendril" extended by the corpse tide.

Zombie speed increased, poison strengthened, and they even launched attacks proactively.

How could this be!?

What's the reason?

Below the field of view, Zhang Tie, transformed into a black bear, roared angrily, red light bursting from his body as he charged the zombie horde, attempting to block the "great dam" of the breach.

Not giving Lin An much time to think, a shocked shout came from the squad channel:

"Captain Lin! Why does the zombie I killed turn into a puddle of water!?"

At the other end of the effort to block the zombie tide, Gao Tian stared in disbelief at the zombie whose head he had blown apart, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

Under the perception of his killing instinct, he could clearly sense that the zombies before him were continually strengthening.

Just like.

For every zombie he killed, the entire zombie army strengthened in sync.

Unbelievable.

In just a few seconds.

Like a tsunami, the zombie tide slammed fiercely into the position.

As the black bear clumsily smashed a batch of zombies, large amounts of black corpse fluid began to evaporate strangely.

The night was dark, and the zombie tide seemed to have broken through some kind of critical point.

In the darkness, hundreds of millions of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up.

Familiar yet strange.

Those pairs of brutal, bloodthirsty red eyes made Lin An instantly recall the zombies of the real world.

Dissolving, corpse fluid, strengthening..

Almost without thought, he instantly realized what it was.

"Stop!"

"All squad members, stop!"

Our killing of zombies will fully strengthen the remaining zombies' strength.

Almost an instinctive association, Lin An immediately thought of the Indestructible Asura.

But everything before him was even more terrifying than the Indestructible Asura.

Damn it! This is over 700 million weakened versions of the Indestructible Asura!

After receiving Lin An's order, Gao Tian also realized the problem and hastily stopped.

Intense fear welled up in his heart.

He's not stupid.

We've only been fighting for a few seconds, yet the zombies have already strengthened to this extent.

If we continue fighting, even if Lin An acts...

It's hard to imagine what horrifying scene that would be.

I don't know what to do.

Soldiers on the position roared, firing guns; dense fire dragons mingled with the explosions of howling shells.

Many uneasy glances were cast at the two suddenly halted superiors; the morale that had just risen was suddenly blocked.

Superiors, why aren't you acting!?

No time for them to form many thoughts.

The charging zombie tide quickly broke through part of the defense line.

Shrieks and wails, self-destruct alerts rang out one after another.

"Captain Lin!?"

Although Zhang Tie didn't understand what was happening, he retreated to the rear under Lin An's command.

He anxiously lifted his gaze toward Lin An in midair:

"What do we do!?"

"Should we use heavy weapons!?"

"If this continues, the front will soon be lost!"

The suddenly strengthened zombies caught them off guard, especially since, to carry out the skinning plan, the entire front had been stretched too long.

Night assault, combined with the strengthened zombies.

The soldiers' casualty rate surged, especially since most of them were untrained lower-class civilians.

Unexpected.

In midair, Lin An's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he directly issued the order:

"Launch the bait directly!"

We rush into the high tower!

Without any hesitation, psychic power enveloped and spread:

All artillery and missile units, hear the order!

Bombard the corpse pile at the high tower with full force! Blast open a gap for me!

All air force units, deploy! Initiate Plan Four!

Not a single minute or second can be delayed.

Lin An took a deep breath, his figure suddenly accelerated toward the nearest fighter jet:

Gao Tian, Zhang Tie, Mo Ling! Get on the plane with me!

We charge in!

The distant front line was gradually swallowed by the vast zombie tide.

The artillery units that received Lin An's order found it hard to believe the command they heard.

Bomb the corpse pile?

Shouldn't we bombard the zombie tide assaulting the front line?

Even if they couldn't figure out the situation, they realized that bombing the corpse pile would do nothing to alleviate the current crisis.

However, under the brainwashing of this period and their trust in Lin An, the artillery brigade and missile units still chose to obey the order.

The well-prepared air brigade took off, with bombers loaded with air-burst bombs heading straight for the corpse pile.

Beside the command vehicle, Kosman watched helplessly as Lin An, with a grim expression, led people onto the plane.

For some reason, he felt that he and the others had been 'abandoned'.

Engines roared.

On the fighter jet, Lin An fixed his determined gaze on the distant massive corpse pile.

The high tower hidden beneath the corpse pile had already revealed a corner.

Faintly visible on the black stone exterior wall were intricate patterns.

It seems, somewhat familiar?

In the fighter jet's cockpit, Zhang Tie's heart pounded uncontrollably.

From high above, the surging zombie tide kept tearing apart the human defense line.

In an absolute disadvantage, humans hardly had any chance to block.

The sole heavy-weapon unit with hope of resisting the zombie tide was even more so diverted by Lin An to bombard the corpse pile.

It can be said that defeat is already decided.

At most two hours, the human front will completely collapse.

Even from high above, Xiong Hanzi saw large groups of the Corpse Horde break through the human defense line and then encircle from the rear.

As if something were directing them.

Mindless zombies exhibited an uncanny coordination.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Sharp breaking-air sound.

One after another, howling shells tore across the sky, blasting the sparsest part of the corpse pile.

Under the order for full-force bombardment, all ammunition reserves of every faction were mobilized to strike.

Artillery fire exceeding a hundred times per second thundered across the land like a storm.

The corpse pile hit by artillery bombardment was visibly wearing down at a perceptible rate.

The shockwave from the explosions hurled shredded corpses into the air, where artillery met flesh.

It seemed as if meat rain fell from the sky.

On the position, humans were devoured by the zombie tide, while at the corpse pile zombies were baptized by artillery fire.

This scene was like being immersed in an apocalyptic battlefield.

Gao Tian looked toward the position with unbearable eyes.

This was probably the most horrific scene they had ever seen.

Lin Dui, have we really abandoned everyone?

Not far from Lin An and the others, a low-flying transport aircraft opened its spraying device.

The aircraft spraying blood bait was already in position.

Red blood lines were drawn out, like a long red stroke on a dim oil painting.

Twenty red blood streams sprayed from midair, linking the corpse pile with thirty thousand humans.

The oil tankers on the position also sprayed.

A strong smell of blood filled the entire battlefield.

Black, red, and explosive orange-yellow added a touch of cruelty to this apocalyptic tableau.
