259: Fierce Battle

Han Xin explained for a long time, and Han Huohuo kept it all in mind. Then, Han Xin, still worried about potential issues, prepared several contingency plans for Han Huohuo, explaining clearly how to handle emergencies.

Han Huohuo thought to himself, 'No wonder this guy is so exhausted now; he's constantly thinking about so many things.'

Facts proved that Mythical Heroes could not replace Epic Heroes; in crucial battles, they still had to rely on these formidable Epic Heroes.

Only after everything was clearly explained did Han Xin leave Snow Wave City. He was a bit mentally and physically drained and indeed needed a few days to rest and recover.

The battlefield was too complex, and Han Xin insisted that Thor stay by Han Huohuo's side as his super bodyguard.

Climbing onto the city wall, Han Huohuo officially took over the command of the battle. Looking out at the Wasteland, his eyelids twitched; it was too horrifying. The entire Wasteland was covered in skeletons, an endless number of them.

A bomber, having just finished its bombing run, was flying back erratically, its wings already corroded.

This was the handiwork of the Lich hidden within the sea of skeletons.

Suddenly, a corrosive cloud flew into the sky, with an incredibly long range, hitting the bomber directly. The bomber, already at the end of its tether, could no longer hold on and plummeted down with a crash, exploding into a ball of fire.

Ten Avengers, standing on the city wall, fired simultaneously, directly killing the well-hidden Lich.

The barrels of the Avengers' guns were already hot, continuously firing at the Lich hiding in the sea of skeletons in the distance. They ignored the small skeletons, which were handled by the artillery. Their targets were the distant Liches, who stood far away, beyond the range of the Apocalypse Tanks.

Fortunately, these Avengers had ultra-long-range shooting capabilities, even exceeding the Lich's range. Without these Avengers, the Liches would definitely become a huge problem.

Han Huohuo actually didn't have much to do; every unit was already assigned. His main task was to observe the movements of the Undead and promptly command the army to make adjustments.

The skeletons seemed to have no tactics; they just charged forward fearlessly. The mechanical Wolves blocking the city wall were shot into scrap metal by the skeleton archers, wave after wave.

The mechanical Wolves behind continued to rush forward to block, only to be shot dead again, piling up higher and higher, already reaching one-third the height of the city wall.

It's all iron!

Fortunately, I have a lot of iron ore!

Let's see who outlasts whom. I refuse to believe these Undead can deplete all the iron on this planet!

Besides, if worst comes to worst, I can still recycle them.

Although recycling also incurs losses.

But there's no need to do that yet.

Because the bodies of these mechanical Wolves just happen to form a steel protective wall, which is beneficial for the city's defense.

There were no shouts, no wails. On one side, there were skeletons fearless of death; on the other, there were mechanical units fearless of death.

This was a true match of equals.

After a day of killing, Han Huohuo checked his core mission. He had killed over a hundred thousand skeletons in total.

One hundred million was still a long way off. A simple calculation showed that it would take several years to kill one hundred million.

Han Huohuo was bolder than Han Xin; he immediately ordered more bombers to be dispatched.

The bombers were already flying very high, almost several kilometers up, but they could still be hit by the Liches. The range of these Liches was simply outrageous.

The bombers unleashed their bombs, performing carpet bombing, even clearing a large blank area on the battlefield for a short time.

It must be said that the area damage of bombers was more powerful than that of Apocalypse Tanks, and the coverage area was much wider.

After Han Huohuo deployed more bombers, he killed five hundred thousand skeletons.

This battlefield was a shredder, full of shattered bones.

These shattered bones, over time, would turn into black energy, but this black energy did not return to the rift like Chaos energy. Instead, it drifted randomly across the Wasteland, so the entire Wasteland was already filled with dense Yin energy, completely unsuitable for any human habitation.

Even the wild beasts on the Wasteland had all become ghostly.

After Han Xin had rested, he returned to Snow Wave City. Snow Wave City was illuminated by solar lamps and protected by the holy light of the nuns, so the Yin energy could not enter the city and all bypassed it.

Seeing the Lord was enjoying the killing, Han Xin couldn't help but advise, "Lord, the bombers are taking quite a toll. We actually don't need to fly too far for bombing."

Han Huohuo sneered, "It's fine. I have money. I'm going to bomb these bastard dead people to death."

That sounded a bit strange.

Han Xin sighed, "We've been fighting in Snow Wave City for too long. Gongsun Leopard is pressing hard, trying to test our true strength again."

Han Huohuo's eyelids twitched. Did this bastard want to drag him down again? He probably didn't know that if he couldn't hold on and truly abandoned Snow Wave City, and this sea of skeletons surged towards the mainland, who else could resist?

Just those Angels? Could they stop the Undead Army?

Han Huohuo thought for a moment and knew it was impossible, unless the Gongsun family had some other hidden trump card.

"Put that aside for now. Convert all resources into military units. No new refugees will be accepted in any city."

Han Xin nodded and added, "There's a strange woman in Tongtian City. She claims to be Cold Blade's messenger and wants to talk to you."

The image of the Snake Woman appeared in Han Huohuo's mind. He wondered what Cold Blade meant. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Tell her I'm busy right now."

Han Xin replied, "Understood!"

On the fifth day, Han Huohuo encountered a new Undead unit: flying Ghosts. These Ghosts flew extremely high, posing a much greater threat than the skeleton soldiers.

The only fortunate thing was that the number of Ghosts was not as exaggerated as the skeleton soldiers.

Having lost absolute air superiority, bombers found it difficult to take off. The Magic Storm of the Apocalypse Tanks was very ineffective against flying monsters. Out of desperation, even all the fighter jets from Zheng He's ship were transported to Snow Wave City.

The airport stopped launching bombers and began continuously launching large numbers of fighter jets.

The fighter jets' gunfire and missiles engaged in aerial combat and skirmishes with the large group of Ghosts.

Without the bombers' relentless ground bombardment, the daily kill count reverted to only a hundred thousand enemy troops.

The Undead Army was growing in variety, adding layer after layer of pressure!

Han Huohuo was a little frustrated. The goal of killing one hundred million enemies was simply too difficult, and after holding on for a week, he was starting to feel like he couldn't keep going.

He handed over command to Han Xin.

Han Huohuo returned to Tongtian City.

Finally, Ouyezi brought good news: not only were all six workshops completed and alloy production in full swing, but after a long period of exploration, their qualification rate had increased from 30% to 40%, and there seemed to be room for further improvement.

A continuous stream of alloy was being produced.

Han Huohuo first went to the research institute, where the test results for blue jade and white jade were out.

【blue jade】: A special alloy material that can be used to produce Alloy K, and can also act as a catalyst for the production of various alloys, increasing alloy production efficiency by 100%.

【White Jade】: A special alloy material that can be used to produce Alloy J, and can also act as a protective agent for the production of various alloys, increasing the alloy qualification rate by 100%.
