Their formation was hollow in the center, completely surrounded, with no way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their only option was to fight to the death and hold the line until Bian Junwu and his team completed the decapitation mission!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood and flesh flew across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human soldiers, armed with advanced weaponry, could take down hundreds of zombies each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a single misstep meant being overwhelmed by the endless horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a zombie couldn’t bite through their protective gear, sheer numbers could crush them under the weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the giant mutated rats, which could break through their defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his vantage point atop a high-rise, Zhang Yi systematically sniped nearly all the Bronze Armored Zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His terrifying precision as a sniper became even more apparent on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that Zhang Yi alone had relieved at least 20% of the pressure on the allied forces!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If those heavily armored Bronze Armored Zombies had reached the frontlines, the human defenses would have collapsed in no time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by—twenty minutes had already passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The allied forces fought while retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each withdrawal left behind an array of traps, filled with incendiary materials and explosives, wiping out waves of zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defensive perimeter kept shrinking, and casualties had already reached 30%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Honglian gritted her teeth and contacted Bian Junwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t hold out much longer! How’s it going on your end?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Junwu’s response was cold. “We’re close to finding the Zombie King. Hold on a little longer, and we’ll have results soon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the allied forces clung to the last shred of hope and continued their desperate defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after ending the call, Bian Junwu remained outside—he hadn’t ventured underground yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still waiting for more zombies to emerge from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an attack of this scale, Bian Junwu was certain that the Zombie King wouldn’t want to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhang Yi and the others held out long enough, the Zombie King would be forced to send reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a battle of endurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Zombie King couldn’t be sure whether this was a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the opportunity presented itself, Bian Junwu’s seven-man assassination team would strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield ahead was turning into a bloodbath!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yue, Uncle You, and Fatty Xu formed a special task force, reinforcing the western flank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yue’s Loong Roar Sword was made from Adamantium—otherwise, it would have dulled from hacking zombies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She moved like a human tornado, slashing through the horde with relentless fury, her blade tearing dozens of zombies apart with each swing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle You had incredible defense, but when faced with the massive zombie horde, he relied primarily on his two enormous Gatling guns to mow them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only good news was that Zhang Yi and his team had an ample supply of ammunition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Fatty Xu’s abilities proved invaluable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Snowstorm ability was incredibly versatile, especially in battlefield control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While not as deadly as Wei Dinghai’s Ice and Snow Lord, which excelled in stealth attacks, Fatty Xu’s ability to control the battlefield was even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Different strengths for different situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his power alone, Fatty Xu covered an area of several kilometers in ice and snow, drastically slowing the zombies down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave the others an opportunity to cut them down more efficiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Zhang Yi’s team was small, they were among the most active on the battlefield, contributing more than many larger factions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time crawled by, another thirty minutes passing in an agonizing struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every second felt like an eternity, filling everyone with despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had no choice—they were cornered, forced to fight like madmen against the undead tide!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The relentless fighting gradually slowed the zombie advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the horde kept pushing forward, the allied forces’ shrinking formation made it harder for them to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, casualties among the ordinary followers of the Snow God began to mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how tight the defensive line was, some zombies would inevitably slip through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this point, no one had the capacity to care about the fate of the common followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Followers of the Snow God had evacuated them to high-rise buildings and deep underground tunnels in advance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zombies and giant rats had an uncanny ability to sense living prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some zombies managed to breach the defenses and infiltrate the hiding places of the followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there were no elite fighters stationed there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few zombies could slaughter an entire floor of defenseless believers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screams filled the air as they rushed to the windows, crying out for the armed forces to save them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Honglian and the others ignored their pleas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no manpower to spare—barely managing to protect themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zheng Yixian and his people could only sigh and mutter, “Return to the Divine Kingdom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they turned away, indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, just holding back the zombie horde was pushing them to their limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they split their forces to deal with scattered zombies in the rear, their entire defensive line would collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi spotted a dozen zombies slipping through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated for a moment before adjusting his aim and picking them off one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t particularly care about the fate of the Followers of the Snow God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he absolutely couldn’t allow chaos to break out behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the common believers panicked and ran everywhere, they could disrupt the frontline forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, more and more zombies were breaching the defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle had devolved into brutal hand-to-hand combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s already been forty minutes! What the hell is going on over there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Honglian and Xing Tian were getting anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were supposed to hold the line for thirty minutes—why were the zombies still attacking with full force?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are still a lot of zombies underground. Hold on for ten more minutes, and we’ll finish them off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Junwu’s cold reply irritated Xiao Honglian and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this point, they had no choice but to believe him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the defensive perimeter shrank further, the hiding places of the ordinary followers had to be abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this also had an unexpected advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zombies were drawn to living humans, highly sensitive to their presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large concentration of believers became an irresistible lure, drawing a significant portion of the horde away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This significantly reduced the pressure on the combat forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, from the very beginning, these believers had been part of Bian Junwu’s plan—as bait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To annihilate the zombie horde, anything was expendable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Desperate screams echoed throughout the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the protection of the armed forces, the ordinary believers stood no chance against the zombie and rat swarms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly became nothing more than food for the undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they could hold on a little longer,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Hua Hua suddenly pricked up its ears, growling as it bared its sharp fangs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Author's Note\u003C\u002Fp>",1238,"2026-06-03T02:47:19.037Z","2026-06-03T02:47:23.880Z",1,"novelbin.me","6bf74d0b30c0ad117a02cf5f951f035d5006fcdee002fd6f6d6c8d6a2b93dcb3","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-492","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-364",1370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-cover.jpg"]
