Ice City, Jiangnan District.

Due to the battles between the Dawn Army and the Liberation Army, no one paid attention to the situation here.

No one noticed that the zombies located by the riverfront in Jiangnan District had increased to a terrifying level.

Separated from the river by a street, taking advantage of the buildings for cover, masses of zombies were concentrated in this area over ten kilometers long.

The dense zombies were packed tightly like sardines, crowded together, making the scene countless times more lively than the Spring Festival travel rush.

In the center of the zombie horde, a cluster composed of countless advanced zombies occupied a park area.

The number of advanced zombies here astonishingly reached over a million!

Among this million, ninety-nine percent were mutated zombies, including Armored Zombies, Agile Zombies, and Fat Zombies.

Additionally, less than one percent were composed of Level 2 Mutated Zombies.

The combined number of King Kongs and Crawlers exceeded three thousand!

These King Kongs, over two meters tall, stood there like a large group of otherworldly demons, with arms as thick as barrels and huge bodies, which made people shudder at the sight.

The Crawlers were attached to the walls of the buildings, like a layer of alien creatures forming a bizarre outer garment.

And in the core area, Tyrannosaurus Zombies and Lickers, these two types of Level 3 Zombies, numbered as many as seventy or eighty!

The largest Tyrannosaurus Zombie was nearly four meters tall and weighed over five thousand kilograms. When it walked, the ground seemed to tremble.

The largest Licker had a body length of over five meters, their bodies were more elegant, with streamlined shapes that were very conducive to running.

Moreover, their tongues were over two meters long, like spears ready to launch, continuously flicking in and out, not only possessing terrifying penetration power but also covered in viruses.

As for the outer area, the number of zombies was countless, stretching to the horizon.

There were also numerous mutant rats scuttling back and forth, and the mutant rat kings with a body length of over two meters, there were three here.

In the sky, countless mutated birds quietly squatted on the rooftops, with the rooftops almost fully occupied.

There was also a particularly giant owl and a red-crowned crane, clearly no longer ordinary mutated birds, but mutated bird kings.

Wang Huining stood beside Little One and Old Tan, looking at this powerful zombie horde, feeling a sense of pride in his heart.

The reason for the delay in attacking Ice City was precisely to cultivate advanced zombies.

Wang Huining knew that the defensive force of Ice City might be even stronger than that of Dawn City, and ordinary zombies would be sent to their deaths; it was impossible without advanced zombies.

So, Little One and Old Tan, the two Corpse Kings, were coaxed by him to continuously breed advanced zombies.

It must be said, these two Corpse Kings were much more capable than him, every day countless advanced zombies were being bred, and their power was rapidly increasing.

To cultivate these advanced mobs, Wang Huining used a mass of ordinary zombies as materials, letting them devour each other continuously.

The cultivated elite even sacrificed over two million ordinary zombies, causing the surrounding zombie hordes to dwindle, and had to pull from denser areas.

Wang Huining even wanted to cultivate a Level 4 Zombie, but no matter what he did, he failed to succeed.

Level 3 Tyrannosaurus seemed to be the peak of evolution, with one Tyrannosaurus having devoured over thirty of its kind, yet still not evolving to Level 4.

Wang Huining then thought of another way, wanting the zombies to carry weapons.

However, under the command of Little One and Old Tan, the zombies at most held the weapons but did not use them; when it came to combat, they instinctively used their claws and fangs, discarding the weapons directly.

Wang Huining felt helpless, not knowing if it was due to their lack of ability or something else, but he eventually did not give up this tempting idea.

Despite this, the zombie horde here was still sufficient in number. Wang Huining believed that under such an attack, no city's defense could hold.

Of course, this did not include Dawn City; after being implanted with chips, Wang Huining did not dare to set his sights on Dawn City at all.

In fact, the attack could have commenced the day before yesterday, but with the river surface thawing, a group of testing zombies fell into the water and were carried away, forcing them to abandon the idea.

However, since last night, the situation changed.

The last frenzy of winter arrived, with heavy snow falling, causing the temperature to drop sharply, and the river surface froze over again.

Wang Huining knew the opportunity they had been waiting for had arrived.

"Xiaobu, Old Tan, we can act now."

Xiaobu was the name Wang Huining gave to Little One.

The Bald Old Zombie had a large, round bald head, and Wang Huining always itched to flick it but did not dare, so he named it Old Tan.

Wang Huining was already the brain among the three Corpse Kings, as Xiaobu saw Wang Huining give the green light, red light flashed in its eyes immediately.

Old Tan was the same, both eyes turning blood-red, the most obvious trait of a zombie.

"Let's act quickly. This cold spell could end at any moment, but it probably won't last long. Once it ends, the river surface will completely thaw, making it difficult for us to cross. We must seize this cold spell's end to capture this base city, devour everyone inside, and then leave for the south!"

Both Xiaobu and Old Tan nodded at Wang Huining's words.

"Let's go! Capture this city, the era of the zombies has arrived!"

Wang Huining pretended to command, but in reality, he could directly control only three hundred thousand zombies.

Xiaobu and Old Tan howled, and the entire zombie horde immediately moved.

Countless zombies marched, rumbling as they walked out of the Riverfront.

A black line instantly appeared by the riverbank.

That black line spread across the river in an unstoppable manner, lunging towards the Ice City Base on the opposite bank!

......

Meanwhile, Guo Zhun was urgently rushing towards the Dawn Army's position with his troops.

He had been marching with these sixty thousand men in the snow for over four hours.

A journey originally taking two and a half hours was slowed significantly by the heavy snow. Guo Zhun had to deploy numerous bulldozers to clear the path, but the pace was still slow.

Guo Zhun himself was riding in a strange vehicle with a huge metal shovel.

This vehicle was three meters tall, ten meters long, and three meters wide, running on metal tracks instead of wheels, with extremely powerful propulsion.

The entire vehicle was bulletproof, impervious to sniper rifles, and even equipped with a mounted heavy machine gun.

Many didn't recognize what kind of vehicle it was, but someone who used to work in engineering suggested it might be a mining vehicle, though armed with a machine gun, indicating it had been modified and earning the name "armed mining vehicle."

This vehicle was acquired by Guo Zhun's subordinates in Mei City, reportedly found in an area known as Prosperous Mountains and Rivers.

Gaining this vehicle was like acquiring a treasure for Guo Zhun. When he discovered the vehicle, its container-like bed was filled with pots and pans.

He discarded those items, now loading the vehicle bed with his valuables.

Twenty tons of gold, numerous precious jewels and artifacts, some crystal cores, fine mutant beast meat, and some new coins and Light Yuan.

Guo Zhun couldn't trust leaving these items anywhere else, so he kept them inside this vehicle, parked in his garage, with him the sole keyholder.

On this outing, he personally drove this vehicle out.

But he was still anxious, as the journey was excruciatingly slow.

Yan Zhihuan had been in contact with him, and they had spoken just twenty minutes earlier.

The Dawn Army was too strong, having eliminated the Liberation Army's armored units. Now that forty-thousand-strong force was facing heavy casualties, with many new recruits surrendering.

Now, only about fifteen thousand could still fight.

Guo Zhun insisted they hold out no matter what, ensuring chaos in the Dawn Army's ranks.

Once his troops arrived with overwhelming force, they could destroy the Dawn Army utterly.

It was a pity that the bad weather severely limited their aircraft, or otherwise nearly fifty fighter jets from Ice City could join the battle.

However, it worked out since neither he nor the Dawn Army had air superiority, so it was to be a ground war.

Less than twenty kilometers ahead was the border of the Dawn Army.

While the blizzard obscured visibility, the northern wind carried the smell of gunpowder and the sound of distant gunfire still reached Guo Zhun's nose and ears.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Damn it! Haven't you eaten enough? Move faster!"

"Where's the artillery? Set them up now! Once set, bombard that side!"

"What? Yan Zhihuan and the others are still there? I can't worry about that now, Yan Zhihuan and his men are about to be annihilated. Their existence is justified by taking the Dawn Army down with them!"

"Without their entanglement, I wouldn't have this opportunity!"

Guo Zhun's eyes were bloodshot, resembling a zombie, breathing heavily through his nose.

Nothing else mattered now; the chance to eliminate Ye Fan was within reach, and no cost was too high for it.

Vehicles behind were hauling towed artillery, advancing.

As the artillery was about to be in position, a messenger came running, stumbling.

"Report~~~~! Report to Count! Major trouble, the base... the base is under attack, we must return immediately, return immediately!"

Guo Zhun raised his hand and slapped the messenger: "Are you out of your mind? Do you know the cost of disseminating false military information? I could have you shot! Our enemy is Ye Fan, and Ye Fan's forces are ahead. What other enemy would attack Ice City?"

"Count... it's not humans... ah! I mean, the attackers are not humans, they're zombies! A massive horde of zombies!"

"What? What did you say? Repeat that!"

Guo Zhun's eyes turned blood-red, grabbing the messenger by the collar.

"Zombies, it's zombies, the horde from Jiangnan District, led by the Corpse King, is attacking Jiangbei Base. Their numbers are immeasurable, the base is suffering heavy casualties, it won't hold much longer. If we delay, our... our home will be lost!"

With that, the messenger handed the radio over to Guo Zhun.

At that moment, desperate shouts from the officers remaining were blaring through.

"Count! Come back! Come back quickly! We can't hold on! If you're late, you'll have to collect the bodies of over five million of us!"

Bang!

The radio fell to the ground, and Guo Zhun's face turned ashen.
