First Line of Defense

Intense combat sounds echoed throughout Future City.

Mingled with the shrieks of zombies were the screams of humans.

"Prepare for battle."

At the outermost edge of the territory, some crude defenses had been set up.

After an hour of fighting, the fires of battle finally spread to Xiao Jun's territory.

The first zombie charging over was casually slain by Xiao Jun.

Then the second, the third, the...

"Lone Wolf leader."

Xiao Jun called out to Lone Wolf, who was about to retreat.

"Brothers, you all know my brother Xiao Jun, the leader, right? Tonight, we all follow Xiao Jun's arrangements. If we don't kill all the zombies, we'll die."

"Got it, we'll listen to Xiao Jun."

Everyone wasn't stupid - there was no way they could let Xiao Jun's people protect them if they retreated further.

"Brothers of the Lone Wolf Group, hold this passage. Everyone else, guard your positions."

"Guo Yu, take your men and be ready to reinforce at any time. We can't let the zombies easily break through this line of defense."

Xiao Jun quickly made arrangements. The front line had already engaged the zombies and couldn't respond.

"Brother Xiao, what about me?" Lone Wolf looked at Xiao Jun dispiritedly.

"Take Lone Wolf leader to the rear to rest."

Xiao Jun had no time for him. Lone Wolf had already paid enough of a price, so keeping him alive was not a big deal.

A young lady swiftly approached and led the expectant Lone Wolf toward the rear.

"Rotate every twenty minutes. When changing shifts, the Tough Superhumans will take the frontline."

"Fire Element Superhumans, wait for my order. Don't act rashly."

Xiao Jun's commands came one after another, and the chaotic battlefield gradually stabilized.

Many even thought that as long as they were prepared, this was no different from their nightly battles.

But soon, the first blow came.

From the massive zombie horde, seven or eight extremely fast figures suddenly charged out. Seizing the moment when the shift change was about to happen, at least dozens of people were struck by the zombies.

"If infected, kill immediately. Don't hesitate - I won't when you're infected."

The cold words came from Xiao Jun's mouth as he personally killed two infected young ladies.

At the same time, Wan Qianya appeared behind Xiao Jun.

"Jun ge, there are eight Level 4 zombies in total."

Xiao Jun nodded and commanded:

"Lone Wolf Group, the two on the left are yours. Guo Yu, the two on the right are yours."

He then charged toward the nearest two Level 4 zombies, while Wan Qianya seemed to read his mind and went for the last two Level 4 zombies.

The nearest two Level 4 zombies seemed to sense the danger and didn't even look at Xiao Jun before fleeing into the zombie horde without a backward glance.

"Killed people and still want to run?"

Xiao Jun abruptly accelerated, instantly appearing behind the two zombies and blocking their escape route.

His steel blade swung in a wide arc, simultaneously decapitating both Level 4 zombies.

Wan Qianya also dealt with her two Level 4 zombies at almost the same time.

Guo Yu was no slouch either, favoring a straightforward approach after countless life-and-death struggles in pursuit of the simplest, most effective killing methods.

Only the Lone Wolf Group initially lost people to the two Level 4 zombies before four Level 4 Superhumans surrounded and slew them through numerical superiority.

As the battle unfolded, more and more zombies arrived, accompanied by large groups of survivors.

"Let us in, we're human too!"

"What are you doing? Let us in!"

But no matter what they said, Xiao Jun had only one cold response:

"Get close and you're dead."

Seeing no way in on this side, with hordes of zombies coming from behind, many lost hope in their eyes.

Some, lacking the courage to face the zombie army, even charged toward Xiao Jun's territory instead.

The outcome for such people was predictably unchanged.

"Kill five zombies and you can come in," Xiao Jun suddenly shouted loudly, with the young ladies repeating it several times.

When a person becomes desperate, a glimmer of hope for survival is like a drowning man grasping at straws.

They know the straw can't save their life, but still cling to it desperately.

"Jun ge, if they really kill enough, will we let them in?" Jiang Yue asked worriedly nearby.

"Of course. Amidst this massive zombie horde, without cover protecting them, how many do you think can kill five zombies?"

"I'm just using them. If there are still survivors after ten minutes, then we'll let them in."

Tonight, all areas of Future City were deployed by the major groups. These people had simply fled from a battlefield that had collapsed, possibly due to their own desertion.

Xiao Jun certainly wouldn't easily let such people in to disrupt morale.

If they had weapons, they could go kill zombies. If they truly killed enough, they completed the task.

Shouting erupted as the desperate crowd charged the zombies, holding steel blades high.

Just kill five, and they could live.

But on this chaotic battlefield without unified command or cohesion, they couldn't last more than a few minutes.

Not to mention the unknown number of Level 3 and 4 zombies hiding in the massive horde.

After a full ten-odd minutes of fighting, a bloodied young man suddenly ran toward Xiao Jun's side.

"I killed five! I killed enough, let me in!"

But he only made it halfway before a Level 4 zombie suddenly appeared.

The young man's back was torn open by a massive wound, the joy on his face turning to resignation as he slowly collapsed.

Within ten seconds, the man unnaturally stood up again, his back wound still spouting blood, but not affecting his speed at all.

Perhaps driven by lingering resentment, he had turned into a Level 2 zombie right after transformation, even retaining a hint of human traits in his eyes as he stared fixedly at Xiao Jun and charged straight toward them.

But before he could get close, a young lady casually decapitated him.

"Li Jingyin, take your team to the front and prepare to rotate."

"Guo Yu, send people to assist the Lone Wolf Group."

Xiao Jun didn't even glance at the young man, calmly observing the battlefield situation and issuing orders.

As time ticked by second by second, the zombies showed no signs of decreasing.

Even Xiao Jun and Jiang Yue took turns holding the front line for a while.

"Fire Element Superhumans, prepare."

Looking at the endless stream of zombies in the distance, Xiao Jun knew the first line of defense couldn't hold any longer.

Six Fire Element Superhumans stepped forward, twelve fire snakes spewing forth to completely cover the path ahead.

"Except for the Tough Superhumans, everyone fall back to the second line of defense."

Under Xiao Jun's command, the retreat of over ten thousand people proceeded without the slightest panic, following the predetermined order and routes.

"Brothers of the Lone Wolf Group, follow Guo Yu."

The Lone Wolf Group's thousand members were surplus forces, but their small numbers didn't significantly impact the operation.

Soon, everyone had withdrawn to the second line of defense - the usual nightly battleground against the zombies.

Here, in addition to those who had retreated from the front, Fat and thin Group leader had been waiting with several thousand fresh troops.
