Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 0986 The Story of Weng Lan-Fierce Battle

Provo, Utah, about 60 kilometers from the salt lake.

Prior to the apocalypse Provo was known as the cleanest and tidiest city in America.

Now, after being abandoned for many years, this place had become a battlefield, becoming extremely dirty and smelly.

Rosen's army arrived at Provo three days ago and began to build defenses to eliminate the zombies from the north.

Actually, Liu Tian did not tell Weng Lan the truth. The battle on the frontlines was ten times more intense than what she had described.

Three nights ago, the battle began. The Rosenian army's long-range artillery unit launched a two-hour artillery attack on the zombies fifteen kilometers away.

Many zombies had died, but this did not stop them from advancing.

Tang Jiudie was now a rank 6 Awakened. There was a D6 leaping zombie in her body. Without any interference, she could control over a million zombies.

Originally, Tang Jiudie had played a crucial role in protecting the entire army along the way. She had absorbed some of the small corpses. Thus, even though she did not control a million zombies, she still had hundreds of thousands of them.

In that case, Tang Jiudie was the first to leave this place. The zombie army that controlled her had a dog-to-dog battle with the oncoming zombie army.

However, the battle only lasted for a dozen minutes before stopping.

A few zombies about 3.5 meters tall appeared, their bodies robust, and they had hard skin on one side of the black iron.

The most eye-catching thing was that there were seven-colored crystal stones on their chests! It meant that they were D7 mutated zombies, and judging from their appearances, they should be rank 7 mutated zombies.

Tang Jiudie was actually very knowledgeable about zombies, but she had never seen a D7 zombie before. What was even more terrifying was that there weren't only a few zombies!

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Since there are so many D7s appearing at the same time, it means that in this seemingly inconspicuous group of hundreds of thousands of zombies, this higher-level jumping zombie should be hidden. That is D8!

In short, Tang Jiudie's control over the zombies had lost its effectiveness. The zombies that she had originally controlled had actually turned around and rushed towards Provo Temporary Stronghold.

After Tang Jiudie returned to report on the situation, Rosen's face turned blue!

The hundreds of thousands of zombies from outside, together with the hundreds of thousands of zombies that Tang Jiudie had originally controlled, wasn't that equivalent to a million zombies on the other side?

Fortunately, he had pulled all the troops to build the stronghold. Otherwise, if these zombies wanted to catch up with the army, it would only take a day or two. One had to know that the zombies were running much faster than the migrating troops.

What shall I do?

After pondering for a few minutes, Rosen thought that his side could be considered to have enough food for soldiers, so he decided to fight! Wasn't it just a million zombies? He had 40,000 people, and each of them killed more than 20 zombies.

Thus, on the first night, Rosen led 40,000 soldiers out of Provo's defensive stronghold and sprinted for five miles to engage in a face-to-face but retreating sniper battle with the corpses. The scene at that time was truly spectacular. The 40,000-strong army stretched for a total of five to six kilometers.

Originally, the zombies had traveled a longer distance, but in the end, they were also attracted by the firepower.

It wasn't until noon the next day that the troops retreated back to Provo Stronghold. The soldiers were basically unharmed, but they killed almost 150,000 zombies along the way, winning the first battle.

The soldiers were excited, but Rosen was worried.

In just one night, his ammunition had already been depleted by 60%. In other words, if he continued to fight like this, even if he ran out of ammunition, even if he was eliminating 150,000 zombies, there would still be more than 700,000 zombies left.

Moreover, this was an inaccurate number. The aerial scouts sent out reported that the zombie flow was endless, and the overall length was about 80 kilometers.

In other words, zombies would not fight less and less, they would only fight more and more.

After much thought, Rosen decided that he still couldn't retreat.

His troops were already at the forefront of the migrating army, so the zombies came from the south.

If he headed in the direction of Seven Swords City in the west, then the follow-up troops and civilians would surely suffer the impact of the zombie flow.

If they led their troops north to dodge the zombies, they would probably encounter a group of zombies heading south from the north in a few days.

Then they could only fight, attracting the zombies, waiting for the follow-up troops to increase the number of men and annihilate the zombies in one fell swoop.

Thus, at noon on the second day of the battle, the stronghold of Provo was surrounded. Because there was no city wall, the zombies broke through the defensive line and entered the city of Provo at night.

Rosen split up the troops, letting everyone use the abandoned high-rise buildings as a stronghold. Their respective organizations continued to use their firepower to consume the number of zombies, waiting for rescue.

The next night, the second troop of 40,000 from the east arrived.

They fired artillery shells at the zombies five kilometers east of Provo. Some of the zombies were attracted and moved over, alleviating the crisis in Provo.

However, the intensity of the battle did not lessen at all. The soldiers in each stronghold were still desperately killing zombies. Everyone was helpless, because it was impossible not to kill them. There were such hateful undying creatures all around them.

On the third day, the battle entered an even more tragic situation. The zombie's follow-up troops arrived, and the third troop of the Giant Forest City, 20,000 people, also arrived.

Starting from Provo City, an even larger battle between humans and zombies broke out on the entire thirteen kilometers east side of the border.

At the same time, the first batch of civilians of the migrating army had already moved westward along the Great Salt Lake. They had entered a wild running mode. It was impossible not to run. Everyone was afraid that the zombies would break through the defensive line and rush into the crowd.

Actually, as early as the second night of the battle, the 20,000 people on Weng Lan's side had already received news of their departure.

The reason why they didn't leave immediately until this afternoon was because they were waiting for the grain truck behind them.

How can we travel without food? He had eaten up all the food he had brought with him. If he were to run away from the follow-up troops, it would be a terrible thing for 20,000 people to be unable to keep up with the supplies. There seemed to be a few American gangs ahead. It would be even worse if they caught him. One had to know that there were many cannibals in the American gangs. Thus, they waited for supplies and troops from the rear to arrive before transmitting the order to retreat from Rosen.

After receiving the news, Liu Tian did not immediately tell Weng Lan because her husband, Jess, Qin Qicai, and the others were still at the front line.
