Huang Xuewu, standing by, watched the battle with a grave expression. Initially, when the Reanimated first appeared, they were instantly annihilated, and he had been terrified.
However, in the next round, the Reanimated began slaughtering the survivors with an overwhelming advantage.
"Could it be... that the True God intends to use the Reanimated to defeat these survivors?"
"Brilliant! Although our side has fewer numbers, the Reanimated will increase with each battle, eventually allowing us to slaughter the Japanese encampment without shedding a drop of our own blood!"
Huang Xuewu applauded.
"However, I see those Japanese on the city walls pointing and seemingly analyzing the Reanimated's weaknesses."
"Once they figure out the Reanimated's weaknesses, our chances of winning will significantly decrease!"
"Moreover... this is a large encampment of over two thousand people, with countless experts. The Reanimated are currently only twenty-something."
"If the enemy were to sortie en masse, use control skills to immobilize the Reanimated, and then test each position... just like they did earlier..."
"Our chances of winning are likely still not great!"
A follower beside him whispered.
"This..." Huang Xuewu frowned, musing for a moment, then quickly said with a relaxed expression:
"We just need to trust the True God. Everything the True God has done so far has its reasons, and the situation is indeed developing in our favor. Let's wait and see!"
As soon as Huang Xuewu finished speaking, a crisp snapping sound was heard.
Snap!
A gust of wind blew, and in an instant, both the terrified captains on the city walls and Oshima, who was using his abilities to furiously analyze the Reanimated,
All turned into crystal statues!
Their expressions were frozen in place.
Their lives had also reached their end!
Bang!
One by one, the crystal statues shattered, vaporized.
They turned into wisps of smoke that lingered for a long time.
In their final moments, Oshima and the others had still believed that the greatest threat was the Reanimated.
As for Zhang Chen and the others, they were not worth worrying about!
Even Er Pang was a greater threat than Zhang Chen and his companions.
However, at this moment, they realized their mistake...
It was just that their realization came a bit too late...
Zhang Chen waved his hand gently and said, "The last obstacle is cleared. Deploy all the Reanimated!"
"Understood!"
Xu Ruina nodded.
At the same time, the Cleaners began to disembark from the giant armored troop carriers.
They quickly occupied the high points of the surrounding buildings and began directing the Reanimated to attack.
To prevent the Reanimated from being attacked by survivors with area-of-effect skills, the Cleaners deliberately adjusted the Reanimated's attack rhythm to be quite dispersed.
One by one, the Reanimated climbed the city walls, crossed the barbican,
And swiftly charged into the formation of the over two thousand Japanese within the encampment!
Inside the encampment, many Japanese were stunned by the formidable advance of the Reanimated.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Damn it, aren't the camp commander and squad leaders on the city walls? How did these monsters get in?"
"Could it be that our leaders... have met their demise? No way! Oshima-kun is a transcendent with a legendary talent, a truly monstrous existence. Even if everyone in the camp dies, he won't!"
"Everyone, don't panic. It's just these few monsters. If we all go together, we can cut them into mincemeat with one knife each!"
"Right! Right! I remember Oshima specifically mentioned in the chat channel that the Reanimated's weakness is their left shoulder!"
"If they have a weakness, then it's easy. Everyone, don't panic. Defend according to your respective squads!"
If the weakness of the left shoulder hadn't been mentioned, these two thousand survivors, with their chaotic hacking and slashing,
Could have potentially dealt with all twenty or thirty Reanimated.
But after being misled by the information about the left shoulder's weakness, this battle was destined for a crushing end.
As soon as the two sides engaged, not long after, the survivors began to cry out again.
"Something's wrong! I clearly hit its left shoulder, why isn't it affected at all?!"
"This intelligence is incorrect, quickly... quickly inform others..."
"Damn it, just a scratch on the skin can cause corpse transformation? I thought becoming a transcendent would grant immunity to zombie virus infection!"
"Retreat, quick, retreat!"
The defeat was like a collapsing mountain.
In reality, the Japanese still had an absolute numerical advantage. If they could have organized an effective counterattack and resistance, they could have held out for at least a little longer.
However, the chat function could not be used while in combat, and the distance over which shouting could transmit information was limited.
Those survivors who received the intelligence that the left shoulder was not a weakness were basically at the forefront of the battlefield.
Meanwhile, the survivors on the rear lines, eager to join the fray, still naively believed that the left shoulder was the Reanimated's weakness.
Thus, the morale of the engaged survivors plummeted instantly.
The defeat was like a collapsing mountain.
Soon, it devolved into survivors desperately fleeing.
While the Reanimated engaged in a one-sided slaughter!
In just half an hour, the encampment, which had been bustling with people and full of life before,
Had become a dead city!
Beneath the encampment's city walls, over a thousand Reanimated were densely packed!
Without exception, they were all mutated type IV infected, and even a few berserkers occasionally appeared!
Some Reanimated chased survivors out, while others, having lost their targets, wandered aimlessly in place.
"We have some bad news!"
Xu Ruina, frowning, appeared beside Zhang Chen and said,
"The Cleaners' control ability is roughly for 2-3 Reanimated. Now, with over a thousand Reanimated in the encampment, it has far exceeded the Cleaners' control range."
"If you don't harvest them immediately... I fear the sheer number will be too much for the Cleaners to bear."
"We risk being counter-attacked by the Reanimated."
Zhang Chen nodded and said, "I know!"
"However, to ensure the smooth progression to the other three encampments, a decisive numerical advantage of Reanimated is essential!"
The reason this encampment was taken down so easily was twofold: first, the enemy was misled by Zhang Chen's false intelligence, and second, all core combat members were dealt with by Zhang Chen before the battle even began.
The remaining encampments would surely have received some news.
It would not be easy to continue playing the pig to eat the tiger with false intelligence.
While it could be used for a surprise attack, to annihilate the remaining three encampments, totaling over 6,000 people, caution was paramount.
"Have all the Cleaners stand at the edge of the battlefield, only responsible for driving back wandering or potentially returning Reanimated to the main battlefield."
"This should greatly reduce their pressure!"
Zhang Chen suggested with a smile.
"This... is a good idea. In the absence of other attractions, the Reanimated will move irregularly. This way, the Cleaners only need to drive back the Reanimated that cross the line!"
Xu Ruina praised.
Thus, Xu Ruina, with 98 Cleaners, continuously drove the Reanimated army from the rear, chasing the survivors towards the next encampment.
