123: Bombing air raid shelters

However, tempered by the apocalypse, he was no longer that timid and cowardly youth. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and silently calculated a countermeasure.

Just as Xiao Zhang was preparing to fight to the death, he heard the shouts of his companions.

It turned out that members of the other teams had heard the commotion and rushed over to provide timely support.

Everyone quickly formed a tight defensive circle and engaged the zombies in a fierce battle.

The zombies lunged forward, baring their fangs and claws, letting out bursts of spine-chilling roars.

Xiao Zhang and his companions wielded their weapons, resisting with all their might.

Steel pipes collided with the bodies of the zombies, producing dull thuds.

Every attack was accompanied by a zombie falling and blood splattering.

The battle was exceptionally fierce, and both sides fell into a stalemate.

The zombies surged forward continuously, seemingly endless.

Xiao Zhang and his companions gradually felt their strength failing, but they did not retreat in the slightest.

They had only one belief in their hearts: they must obtain the Potassium Nitrate and complete the mission.

Just when everyone was about to collapse, Xiao Zhang suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He realized that although the zombies were numerous, they were slow-moving and lacked basic tactical awareness.

Therefore, he shouted loudly, "Listen up, everyone! Let's concentrate our strength and attack the zombies' legs to make them lose their mobility!"

Hearing this, his companions immediately adjusted their attack strategy.

They no longer blindly attacked the zombies' heads and bodies, but instead swung their weapons toward the zombies' legs.

In an instant, the zombies fell one after another, losing their ability to move.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, everyone broke through the encirclement, carrying the precious Potassium Nitrate, and quickly left the dangerous area.

After a difficult trek, they finally returned to the stronghold.

Meanwhile, the Stonemasons of Xiaohe Village were anxiously waiting in the workshop.

They looked at the empty workbenches, their hearts filled with helplessness and anxiety.

These Stonemasons were all experienced veterans, eager to produce explosives as quickly as possible and contribute their strength to this war of the apocalypse.

Finally, members of the Azure Dragon Gang returned one after another, bringing various Materials needed to make explosives.

The Stonemasons immediately got busy, skillfully mixing the various Materials according to precise ratios.

Every step they took was meticulous, their eyes revealing focus and determination... With everything ready, one evening, Yang Chunlai led Zhu Yeqing and other elite subordinates, marching mightily toward the Air Raid Shelter.

Their steps were heavy and firm, their weapons held tightly in their hands, constantly vigilant of the surrounding movements.

Every person knew that this would be a life-or-death battle.

After arriving near the Air Raid Shelter, everyone quickly dispersed and began carefully checking for other exits.

They searched inch by inch, not letting go of any possible passage.

Yang Chunlai stood at the entrance of the Air Raid Shelter, his expression solemn.

He recited a mysterious incantation, and as the spell sounded, the surrounding air seemed to grow cold.

Suddenly, a black figure slowly emerged from behind him—it was Murong Zhan, the Millennium Zombie stored in his spatial dimension.

As soon as Murong Zhan appeared, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop instantly by several degrees.

He was tall, over two meters high, and exuded a chilling aura.

His skin displayed an eerie bluish-gray color, and his ghostly green eyes flickered with strange light in the darkness, seemingly capable of seeing through everything.

Yang Chunlai used the Soul Control technique to drive several captured zombies as guards, following behind Murong Zhan.

Although these zombies were slow-moving, they became exceptionally obedient under Yang Chunlai's control.

Murong Zhan led the guards toward the Air Raid Shelter.

Several zombies carried explosives, and a few others laid out the fuses.

Yang Chunlai and the others hid in the distant dense forest, closely monitoring Murong Zhan's movements.

Murong Zhan was about to approach the entrance of the Air Raid Shelter.

The group of defending zombies nearby blocked Murong Zhan's path.

Murong Zhan negotiated with the zombies.

But it seemed their languages were incompatible, leading to mutual disputes.

Suddenly, a heavy set of footsteps came from the front, as if some massive object was slowly approaching.

Everyone was startled, immediately stopping and vigilantly watching ahead.

As the footsteps drew closer, a massive figure slowly appeared in everyone's line of sight.

It was a Giant Zombie, its body more than three people tall, muscular and resembling a small mountain.

Its skin was a dark brown color, covered in bulging veins, looking as if it could burst at any moment.

There was no expression on its face, only a pair of hollow eyes that emitted a chilling aura.

The Giant Zombie let out a deafening roar that echoed through the cave, making everyone's eardrums ache.

The Giant Zombie grabbed the package from the hands of a zombie guard.

That was the explosive Yang Chunlai had brought.

The Giant Zombie seemed to realize something was wrong and smashed the explosive fiercely onto the ground.

It waved its thick arms and lunged toward the crowd.

Every swing brought a fierce gust of wind, making it almost impossible to stand firm.

In the dense forest, everyone grew tense. "This is bad, we've been discovered."

Yang Chunlai laughed, "Don't worry, if worse comes to worst, we'll fight them."

He then silently recited the incantation in his heart, ordering Murong Zhan and the others to begin the fight.

Murong Zhan received the command and showed no fear.

His figure flashed, rushing toward the Giant Zombie like a black bolt of lightning.

His speed was incredibly fast; his figure was almost impossible to discern.

The Giant Zombie swung its arms, trying to block Murong Zhan's attack.

But Murong Zhan dodged flexibly, his hands moving rapidly, attacks raining down upon the Giant Zombie's body.

Although the Giant Zombie possessed immense strength, its movements were slightly sluggish.

Under Murong Zhan's assault, it gradually exposed its weaknesses.

Murong Zhan seized the opportunity, leaped up abruptly, and quickly gathered a powerful surge of energy in front of his chest.

This energy shimmered with blue light, seemingly containing boundless power.

Following this, Murong Zhan struck the Giant Zombie's head heavily.

This blow contained tremendous force, resulting in a dull, massive sound.

The Giant Zombie swayed a few times, then finally crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The subordinate zombie guards also joined the fight one after another, dealing with the zombies guarding the entrance.

Having dealt with the Giant Zombie, Murong Zhan continued forward.

Finally, they found the crucial spot at the Air Raid Shelter entrance.

The Stonemason took a deep breath, slowly squatted down, and lit the fuse of the explosive.

The fuse began to burn, making a "sizzling" sound, with sparks flying everywhere.

Everyone quickly turned around and retreated toward the safe zone.

Their steps were hurried and panicked, their hearts filled with tension and anticipation.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...With several loud blasts, the earth shook and mountains swayed.

The entrance to the Air Raid Shelter was blasted, sending soil and rocks flying; huge stones and dirt rained down, instantly burying the opening.

Rolling smoke and dust spread out, lingering for a long time.

Everyone looked at the destroyed Air Raid Shelter entrance, sighing in relief.

He knew that this difficult battle had finally come to a temporary close.

However, just then, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from underground.

The sound was low and muffled, seeming to emanate from the deepest part of the earth, carrying an endless sense of oppression.

Yang Chunlai's expression instantly became solemn, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

What exactly did this sound mean?
