In the apocalypse, I hoarded goods and handed over my storage space to the government.

The initially apprehensive crowd gradually hardened their resolve under the influence of the Great Xia army's morale.

"Damn it, if these ordinary people aren't scared, why should we be!"

Long Yiwan ripped off his tactical mask, his heavy breathing echoing inside his helmet.

"Let's do it!"

Austin slung the machine gun over his arm and gritted his teeth.

"If we can just pull through, we'll get a free crystal core exoskeleton! Let's give it our all!"

"Damn it! So what if I'm killing zombies? I'm going to make a name for myself today!"

"Today I'll show the people of Great Xia that we're not trash!"

A hundred or so Awakened Ones wearing exoskeletons gritted their teeth and walked to the front-line trenches, standing side by side with the soldiers of Great Xia.

In the trenches at the forefront of the position, dirt was falling down in a rustling sound.

The smell of gunpowder made people cough.

The ordinary soldiers, lying prone behind sandbags, could already vaguely see the horde of corpses, their figures shrouded in gunpowder smoke, rapidly approaching from the front lines.

Those gray-white figures, smelling of burnt metal, charged forward at incredible speed, braving a hail of bullets.

The sound of gunfire never stopped, and planes flew overhead one after another.

"Bullet loaded! Safety on!"

The frontline commander, his voice hoarse, shouted an order for everyone to be on high alert.

"Don't worry about ammo! Shoot when you see one."

The horde of corpses is approaching.

Three kilometers.

Two kilometers.

One kilometer.

The second-tier bone-armored zombies at the forefront have already broken out of the artillery's coverage area.

They were incredibly fast, running on all fours like a surging gray torrent, hurtling straight towards the defense line.

"Fire!"

The commander was hoarse from shouting.

Thousands of crystal-powered heavy machine guns roared simultaneously along the entire defensive line.

Azure beams of energy intertwined to form an impenetrable web of death.

The first zombies to charge crashed head-on into the barrage of fire. Their bone armor was pierced by the high-temperature rays, and their mangled bodies tumbled forward due to inertia before being torn to shreds by the subsequent hail of bullets.

Behind them, the smoothbore guns of heavy tanks opened fire one after another.

Each time the cannon recoiled rapidly, a large fan-shaped area was cleared out from the horde of corpses in the distance.

There are too many.

Several mutated crawlers stepped over the corpses of their kind, leaped high into the air, crossed the minefield, and landed in the trench.

"court death!"

Wang Bin raised his gun and fired.

The crystal energy rays hit precisely, destroying his brain.

Lon Ivan, standing nearby, roared and unleashed his exoskeleton's full power, delivering a powerful punch to the skull of another crawler.

The sound of bones shattering was clearly audible as the monster flew backward, smashing over a group of ordinary zombies behind it.

"Fire!"

He raised his left hand, activating his supernatural power.

A 30-meter-long pillar of flame swept out, turning the zombies charging in front of it into fireballs.

The smell of burnt flesh completely overpowered the smoke of gunpowder.

Amidst the hail of bullets, spent cartridge cases poured down from the ejection port like water, piling up small, golden hills on the ground.

"roar!"

A second-tier giant zombie, braving heavy machine gun fire, charged ten meters to the front of the position.

It snapped the barricade made of special steel in half with a single blow.

"Change to armor-piercing grenades! Quickly!" the veteran roared.

The giant zombie opened its gaping maw, full of fangs, poised to pounce.

A figure leaped into the air from behind the trench.

It's Austin.

The exoskeleton thrusters on his back spewed out azure flames, propelling him like a cannonball as he wielded a broadsword and slashed down fiercely.

"laugh!"

The blade sliced ​​through the skull of the giant zombie, and green slime splattered out.

Austin landed on both feet and rolled over to dissipate the impact.

He looked up at the monster's corpse, which had been split in two, and gasped for breath.

"Well done, you foreign devil."

Wang Bin whistled and fired a burst of shots from his rifle, blowing the heads off several zombies that were trying to ambush Austin.

Austin paused for a moment, then raised the machine gun on his right arm and opened fire on the horde of zombies.

"Go to hell, you scum!"

Once the war machine of the Great Xia was in motion, it displayed a chilling level of discipline.

Ammunition handlers moved between the trenches, and the logistics supply line, like the main artery of the human body, continuously transported the supplies needed by the front line.

Even when faced with monsters roaming the mountains and fields, not a single person showed any sign of backing down.

This atmosphere is highly contagious.

These foreign mercenaries went from being forced to fight to becoming increasingly bloodthirsty.

They discovered that as long as they did not retreat, the artillery support from the Great Xia would always arrive precisely at the most dangerous moment.

The medics from Great Xia would brave a hail of bullets to rush up and drag the wounded back to their bunkers.

This was a tacit understanding and support they had never experienced while wandering the wasteland.

"Report! The left flank, 104th defense zone, is under a suicidal attack by a large number of Tier 2 zombies. A three-meter gap has appeared in the quick-setting concrete wall! The horde is pouring in!"

An urgent plea for help came through the communicator.

"Long Ivan! You take your men and hold the line! Seal the breach at all costs!"

The frontline commander issued orders without turning his head.

"Roger that! Mission accomplished!"

Upon hearing the command, Lon Ivan didn't even think before responding, instinctively roaring in response.

Without hesitation, he waved his hand and led the dozen or so foreign awakened individuals behind him in a counter-charge towards the weak point in the defense!

"They're all crazy... They're all fucking crazy!"

Austin, his eyes red, roared as he watched Lon Ivan's retreating figure.

"Then I'll go crazy with the Great Xia people today!"

The fighting spirit of this group was completely unleashed.

At this moment, they were no longer cowardly mercenaries, but fearless blades completely assimilated by the spirit of the Great Xia army!

……

Meanwhile, on the battlefield below, the fighting was raging fiercely, and the meat grinder was running at full speed.

High in the sky, the Xuan Nu fighter jet hovered in the stratosphere at an altitude of three thousand meters.

Inside the cabin, Mo Yun stood in front of the panoramic window, looking down at the defensive line below that was occasionally breached but was instantly flattened by the firepower of the Great Xia, and then turned to look behind him.

"Brother Su, there are too many zombies on the outer perimeter. Should we join the battle now and relieve some pressure on the position?"
