Zero sat in the SUV, silently watching the troops gather.

After he came back from the forest, Zero lay in the hospital for a few more days. Even though he had been discharged from the hospital, the wound was only barely healing. But Zero did not care, because there was an even more important task waiting for him. That was why he had ended his treatment early and was now packed in the SUV.

However, the harvest from this trip was great. Each member of the party received 200 to 500 contribution points in return for completing the quest. The Wind Treader team's rating also increased from the original E1 to E2, increasing by an entire level. The biggest gain was Saurun's corpse. During the healing period, the Hall of Heroic Spirits' officials bought the crystallized demon corpse for a high price of two million tolls for research purposes.

Saurun could be said to have been killed by him alone. According to Feng, the two million were all going to belong to him, but he still gave 100,000 to Feng and Su Feng respectively. Even the vigilant Ma pei gave out twenty thousand, which made the three of them extremely excited. As for the rest of the money, Zero had only saved fifty thousand yuan for its daily equipment. The rest was given to Doctor Victor to fund the flow of the laboratory.

During his stay in the hospital, he had visited him personally and brought him shocking news.

Remter was surrounded by nearly ten thousand living corpses!

What made Zero even more surprised was that Remter's biggest sponsor was actually Asgard. And because of this, Asgard could not let this wilderness city go unscathed. After receiving a request for help from Remter, the headquarters had convened an emergency meeting and unanimously decided to provide military a.s.sistance.

Of the five legions, ten teams were first sent out from the Hammer of Destruction to fight together, and then three thousand soldiers were sent out from the three garrison armies of Victory Spear, s.h.i.+eld of Dawn, and Saber of Darkness. In addition, Asgard dispatched twenty artillery tanks, missile and armoured vehicles, thirty heavy artillery off-road vehicles, and a number of troop carriers.

This was not a simple mission, but a command from the headquarters. It was also the first time that he had partic.i.p.ated in a war. Although the targets of the battle were only living corpses with low intelligence, seeing so many of them gathering their forces, although the scene was not considered unprecedented, it was still something that had never been seen before.

He had seen the only time when multiple troops worked together and the chariot escort formation was at Phoenix City. The clean-up operation that had been launched by the Phoenix City Army in the direction of the home nest of the Finry Wolves, however, at that time, regardless of whether it was the number of soldiers, quality or type of chariot, was still far inferior to the combined forces that had been temporarily mobilized by Asgard.

However, although there were a lot of people partic.i.p.ating and their lineup was large, none of the captains were able to join the battle. It seemed that the army of ten thousand living corpses was not yet qualified to be led by the captain, so this time the leader was a Holy Spirit, the seventh step Deep Ice Avenger, Avenot. Avenot had his own tactical team, Ice Storm, which consisted of him, three Ice Element Adepts and twenty slave warriors.

Ice Storm in the Asgard rating, far surpa.s.ses the windwalker's B2 level. Avenot was not only experienced in combat, but also a rare tactical commander. With his experience, he had fought against the foreign forces in the west many times. Every record could be said to be a perfect lesson in war. Otherwise, Avenot would not be in command of this huge army of over three thousand soldiers.

Avenote's fighting style was also very traditional in the way that Asgard did battle. Avenot granted his comrades in the Hammer of Destruction maximum freedom. Under the premise of not going against their tactical targets, the nine Hammer of Destruction teams, including zero, could engage in free combat. The main target of Avenot's command was still the large army formed by the three great legions.

With regards to this kind of combat method, Zero disapproved. Although he had lost his memories, he still possessed the standard military training of the old era. Avenot's commanding style could only be described as a mess. However, he also understood that the tactics of the old era were not suitable for the new era. On average, the official soldiers of Doomhammer who were at least at the fifth step would have more destructive power in their nimble combat than in their teamwork.

After all, every powerhouse of the fifth step had a range range of at least a hundred meters or more. But a soldier with a long-range attack like Zero had a range of more than five hundred meters. Restraining those who had the ability within the same range could only be considered a waste of combat power, which was why they had developed this method of fighting on a regular basis.

After three days, from the selection of the soldiers to the gathering of the troops, to the allocation of equipment, to the maintenance of the chariots, Asgard's large squad finally departed from the belly of the Julian Mountains. Looking from afar, the group formed by more than a hundred vehicles was like a metal torrent surging towards the south. Wherever this torrent pa.s.sed, no mutated beasts dared to approach.

Whether it was the killing intent emitted by the soldiers or the war equipment, they all created a huge aura. No mutated beast would dare to provoke them, except for the occasional corpses on the way. They were either knocked down by the vanguard troops or directly crushed under the wheels.

Five days later, the convoy crossed the Hessen Bridge and approached Remt along the coast road.

March was spring in the old days. However, in the new era, it was as if summer had arrived. The sky's light, reflected from the thick clouds of radiation in the sky, was enough to distort the ground in the distance, but even so, when Zero was sitting in the SUV and looking in the direction of Remter, he could still clearly see a large sea of corpses gathering near him.

That's right, the sea of corpses formed by tens of thousands of living corpses surrounded the entrance to Remus' base. Remulte was like a small rock in the sea of anger, as if he could be engulfed by the waves at any moment!

"This lineup is truly spectacular." Feng muttered.

At this moment, Avenot's voice sounded from everyone's communication device. The commander issued a series of orders, to the effect that the artillery and tanks would suppress the fire, the mixed forces would launch a trapezoid attack, and the team from Doomhammer would freely attack and launch the first stage of the attack.

Avenot's strategy was not complicated. He divided the battle into several phases, one of which was to clean up the living corpses near the entrance. The other was to reorganize and understand the current situation of Remus, and the last was to launch an all-out counterattack.

Now, under Avenot's orders, artillery tanks have begun to launch suppressive bombardments. After a few minutes of bombardment, the intense gunfire became the only sound that resounded through the sky. The artillery sh.e.l.ls rained down like a storm, and the exit of the highway started heading towards the entrance to Remt's base, blasting a path made of flesh and blood.

Every time a sh.e.l.l fell, it would definitely shatter a dozen living corpses, and the explosion of the sh.e.l.l would even affect the living corpses within a hundred meters. Shrapnel fragments, which could either break their arms and legs or penetrate their bodies, caused a lot of damage. If he was lucky and directly blew up the head of the living corpse, it would increase his battle record.

After a round of bombardment, a large number of zombies were killed. Following the heavy artillery cross-country vehicles, they drove off the road. The gunners behind the vehicles shot with precision, using rapid fire heavy artillery to build a firepower net to expand the battle results of the artillery tanks. With the cooperation of the two chariots, the sea of corpses leading to the entrance of Lemour was ripped open. But before the living corpse could catch its breath, a sharp whistling sound could be heard. It was the missile armoured vehicle that had opened fire.

Small missiles flew through the air, and the dense fiery clouds caused by the explosions started to spread deep into the sea of corpses. The high temperature of the flames engulfed half of the battlefield, and the hearts of the corpses instantly exploded and disappeared. The area affected by the explosion was at least two thousand meters, and yet another large number of living corpses were immediately buried in the flames.

However, this round of bombardment consumed more than half of the missile reserves. The zombies in front of the army had been cleared out, and the zombies on both sides were coming back. However, during this period of time, the zombies that the army was facing had become extremely rare, so there was no need to waste the remaining missiles.

When the army began to move towards Remus, all the members of Doomhammer, including Zero, were given the order to kill the enemy freely.

"Go ahead." Zero jumped out of the car with a huge sniper rifle on his back.

It was much larger than a normal sniper rifle, and its rough design made it look very wild. Width up to 12.1. The 53 caliber made it look like a reduced version of a rapid-fire cannon. Zero took the large weapon and skillfully loaded the special sniper rifle.

Asgard's newly developed "Giant" sniper rifle, powered by a high-volume battery, has a single-shot capacity, an effective range of 3,200 meters, and an initial velocity of 1800 meters. In a battle within two thousand meters, a single shot could pierce through the composite armor of a war chariot, and could be said to be a weapon on the battlefield. And its powerful recoil was not designed for ordinary snipers.

It was a lethal weapon specially designed for those with the ability of zero. When Zero picked it up, a sharp killing intent immediately spread out from him. Even the people closest to him, such as Lian Feng, could feel his murderous aura and couldn't help but feel their scalp tingle.

The money that he had left behind this time included the purchase of the giant Type 1 sniper rifle, a special 50 rounds bullets, a pair of golden Warhawk Type 3 automatic pistols and a few ammunition grenades. After upgrading his equipment, he didn't even have ten thousand left. It was easy to imagine how expensive the new weapons developed by Asgard would be.

However, the expensive price for it was the power that the firearms of the old era could not compare with!

Zero led the way into the battlefield at nine o'clock. They didn't have to kill many enemies, just to crush the sea of corpses and prevent them from forming an effective swarm.

The moment he stepped off the battlefield, Ma pei had already rushed towards the seemingly endless number of living corpses in front of him. Halfway through his charge, he let out a furious roar as he activated the Armored Rhinoceros transformation. The sudden appearance of the warbeast brought with it ripples of energy as it charged into the group of living corpses, immediately knocking over countless dead people. Ma pei did not pay attention to the live corpses beside him. He just desperately rushed forward, creating a path for the team to move forward.

But there were simply too many living corpses, and there were constantly living corpses jumping on Ma pei's body. They bit with their teeth, dug with their claws, and desperately inflicted wounds on the beast's body. However, in just a few minutes, Ma pei's sprint was forced to stop. The living corpse was like a sticky paste, forcefully killing Ma Pei's charge. From afar, Ma pei could see that his body was covered with living corpses. They were gnawing at Ma pei like crazy, even pus.h.i.+ng the rhinoceroses to the ground!

Fortunately, there were other members of the team behind Ma Pei. The custom-made heavy sword was a completely square-shaped piece of metal. The heavy sword weighed two tons and let out a terrifying whistle as it was swung. The destructive power of the heavy sword was also extremely terrifying. The flesh and bones of the living corpses that it grazed were shattered, and their flesh and blood splattered everywhere. Even if Su Bai did not hit the head of these important locations, the fragmented living corpses had lost their ability to move and were unable to obstruct the team.

Feng, on the other hand, did not take the initiative to kill the zombies blocking the way. Instead, he rushed to where Ma Pei was.

The rhinoceros struggled to stand up after getting rid of more than half of its corpse. It raised its front hooves with an angry roar and stomped heavily on the ground with all its might.

A m.u.f.fled sound was heard. The energy ripples that were visible to the naked eye brought up a circle of earth waves. With Ma Pei as the center, the waves spread out for hundreds of meters and then disappeared on the left, right, and left side. All the living corpses within the range of the earth wave were thrown into the air and their bodies were turned into mincemeat under the shock of the energy.

After launching this attack, Mappa's energy was no longer sufficient to sustain the huge body of the armored rhinoceros, so he switched back to the human genes. Turning back into human form, Ma Pei could only use the machine gun in his hand to continue his battle with the living corpse. However, his efficiency was far inferior to that of the armored rhinoceros.

In terms of efficiency, no one could compare to zero.

Zero stood at the edge of the battlefield, squatting and holding his gun. He did not aim. After all, there were so many living corpses on the battlefield. Anywhere he looked, there would be a large number of targets. Zero calmly pulled the trigger, and the body of the Type 1 Giant sniper rifle shook violently. The high-volume battery inside the gun's body instantly generated electricity. The huge amount of electricity shot out propelled the special bullets that the collision needle had slammed into the chamber.

When the sniper rifle was pressurized to heat up, the inflated air immediately began to adjust the propelling force of the bullet by a spiral. The moment the bullet left the chamber, it actually exploded into a wave of air. The huge recoil, which could shatter ordinary people's hand bones, was reduced to less than a meter by a series of vibrations from the muscles of his hands.

The sniper bullet that came out of the sniper rifle left a bright flame in the air and instantly hit a live corpse on the chest. This living corpse was immediately lifted up by a tremendous force. If one slowed down, they would see that the chest of the living corpse that was in midair had sunk down, split open, and exploded, finally turning into a bowl-sized hole. At the back of the hole, the sniper rifle bullets had already shot out several live corpses.

The sniper rifle shot out more than two thousand meters, and the tracks it pa.s.sed by were like wheat field falling down, and countless living corpses fell towards the same direction. On this path, horrifying wounds appeared all over their bodies. Some of their bodies were almost broken, while others had their heads and shoulders smashed into pieces. The sniper bullets plowed their way through, bringing about a rain of blood and gore.

With just one shot, Zero had already taken out more than two hundred living corpses, and the number of people injured could not be counted.

After two more dull gunshots, the wilderness in front of Team Zero clearly became a lot emptier. But that was the end of the Giant's performance. From within the fallen living corpses, two blurry shadows suddenly sprang out. It was the Ripper, and they rushed over with criss-crossing tracks of revenge. Zero's silhouette was reflected in those blood-red eyes.

Zero quickly pressed a b.u.t.ton on the gun and the giant's barrel immediately separated from the body of the gun. With one end each, insert the backhand into the fixed set on each side of the walking gear. Then, he placed his hands on the outer pockets of his two legs, and a pair of golden automatic pistols immediately jumped into Zero's hands.

Gold War Eagle III automatic pistol, its entire body a dark gold, the b.u.t.t was made of black polythene, with dark markings on it, making it difficult to get rid of.

Twin guns in zero hands, arms stretched horizontally toward the Ripper. Under the illumination of the sunlight, the dark golden spear's body brought up two golden ribbons of light. As they were dragged through the air, they became like a pair of golden wings, and in a split-second, they pa.s.sed by the Ripper.

In a split-second, the sound of gunfire rang out a total of eight times.

The two Ripper continuously spun in midair, each time turning their body and bringing with it strands of dark red blood. When they hit the ground, they were shot in the forehead, in the throat, in the left and right sides of the chest. The specially crafted spiral warheads pierced through their chests, leaving identical holes on their bodies.

With his feet still on the ground, Zero dashed into the battlefield with his two guns, harvesting the scattered corpses.

After a while, there were only a hundred or so living corpses left near the four of them. Looking at the positions of the other teams, other than the Windwalker, the other teams were all formed of a regular soldier from the Hammer of Destruction paired with a low-level powerhouse or slave soldier. Such a team was naturally unable to compete with the Windwalker in terms of combat power. Therefore, the speed at which they harvested living corpses was not slow, but the ability of the teams to match weapons was more than enough.

However, Asgard's mixed team was not as successful as Hammer's team. After the initial artillery and missile turn attack, the army was quickly met with a counterattack. Using a dozen butchers as meat s.h.i.+elds, they blocked most of the sh.e.l.ls and s.h.i.+elded the Ripper from the artillery tanks. The Ripper's sharp bone spikes and its 10 claws crazily cut at the tank's barrel. By the time Avenot had deployed some of his soldiers to protect the tank, there were already 10 artillery tanks that were unable to fight normally.

This sent Avenk into a rage. He had underestimated the number of high-grade living corpses in the sea of corpses, and he had paid a price for it. But no matter what, the army continued to move towards the entrance to the base, and was soon supported by Remus' forces.

Although it was not a smooth sailing process, at least the first phase's strategic objectives had to be achieved. Zero was calling everyone to gather in the direction of the main group in the communication channel. Suddenly, a sense of fear arose in Zero's heart.

The wind was blowing from the southwest, and the wind carried the signal of danger. He looked southwest at the ruins of the city, and the Golden Eye immediately activated its free field of vision. As his pupils dilated, the image in the distance zoomed in and out of his eyes.

A butcher suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and behind the butcher was a large number of normal living corpses. Among these ordinary living corpses, the figure of the Ripper could be seen. In addition, Zero also saw another special kind of living corpse. Whether it was male, female, old, or young, they all looked as thin as firewood. Only their stomachs were large, bulging on their thin bodies, so obvious that even a zero couldn't ignore them.

Looking at this special corpse that he had never seen before, an indescribable sense of danger arose in his heart!
