The zombie horde's advance was faster than Zhang Chen had anticipated.
He had expected them to arrive around noon, but they showed up early in the morning.
Zhang Chen placed a [Laser Tripwire] one kilometer from the edge of the trap.
Its purpose was to serve as a warning.
Fortunately, he had stayed here last night.
Otherwise, he would have missed the most exciting part!
Zhang Chen perked up, opened a bottle of bottled coffee, and chugged it down.
Time to get to work!
Er Pang had no idea what was happening.
But seeing Zhang Chen's fighting spirit, he also became excited.
Woof~
Er Pang let out a bark.
The man and the wolf walked out of the villa.
Casually, Zhang Chen stored the villa into his ring.
He didn't want it getting damaged during the upcoming fight!
At a distance of one kilometer, it would take zombies 7-8 minutes to advance normally.
However, the explosion just now must have stimulated them.
If they advanced at full speed, they would likely reach the trap's edge in 3 minutes.
Zhang Chen placed Er Pang at the north end of the Yongyu Bridge.
Er Pang, you guard here!
Er Pang wagged his tail excitedly at Zhang Chen.
Perhaps he understood.
Zhang Chen summoned his armed mecha.
He leaped lightly upwards and entered the cockpit.
The combat cabin slowly closed...
Let's go!
Zhang Chen maneuvered the armed mecha with a powerful jump, and then the rocket boosters activated.
Whoosh!
A burst of blue flame erupted.
The armed mecha shot violently into the sky.
The immense inertia pressed Zhang Chen back into his seat!
Hiss... this G-force...
The new armed mecha was truly something else.
Full of power!
Soon, the armed mecha flew to the forefront of the trap and landed on a rooftop.
As soon as he stabilized...
Zhang Chen felt an unusual vibration.
Not just the mecha was shaking, but the entire building, the entire street.
Even the cars parked on the street were trembling slightly.
As if anticipating the coming storm and shivering in fear.
CRACK!
A flower pot on the balcony of an old house fell to the ground.
Shattering into pieces!
Immediately after, countless zombies.
A dense horde of zombies, like a tide, poured out from behind the buildings.
Shoulder to shoulder...
Moaning and scrambling, they emerged from the obstructions of the buildings.
The terrifying low growls of countless zombies joined together, one after another.
The cars that had been stopped on the road were like reefs in the tide.
Except... the tide was no ordinary tide, and the cars were not real reefs!
A zombie was blocked at the front of a car.
Before it could react, it was pushed over by the surging zombies behind it.
One stepping on another, they climbed onto the car's roof.
And then rushed down the back of the car.
One, two, three...
Countless zombies trampled over the sedan.
Before long, the sedan was crushed, almost flattened against the ground.
It was completely erased from Zhang Chen's line of sight.
Countless zombies advanced frantically on over ten streets, sometimes converging into a torrent, sometimes dispersing into alleys to become tributaries.
They swept madly over everything on the road!
Crawlers were as numerous as fleas, hopping around within the zombie horde.
The slow-moving Toxic Fecundators were almost pushed along by the regular zombies.
The numerous, massive Brutes, in this surging sea of corpses, no longer seemed so conspicuous.
It's time!
Just as the vanguard of the zombie horde reached the edge of the trap.
Zhang Chen directly pulled out the armed mecha's electromagnetic cannon.
With ammunition and energy supplies, why should I hesitate?
An ace from the start!
Zzzt zzzt zzzt...
The sound of electromagnetic charging began.
As the charging sound's pitch rose higher and higher!
The sound becoming sharper!
Blue light, accompanied by electrical sparks, began to gather at the muzzle of the cannon!
ZZZZZ!
A powerful bolt of lightning shot down from above!
Like divine punishment descending from the heavens!
BOOM!
ZZZZZZZ~
Immense currents snaked and spread.
They directly struck the Brute's body.
Countless currents, centered on its body, began to spread outwards to the surrounding horde.
ZZZZZ... WHOOSH~
Regular zombies could not withstand such currents.
And they were packed so densely, one next to another.
In an instant, hundreds of zombies convulsed a few times, then stiffened and fell.
Before their bodies even hit the ground.
They turned into wisps of white mist and disappeared from the spot!
With just one shot!
A vacuum zone was blasted around the Brute!
The zombie horde paused for a moment, then quickly refilled the gap with their screeches.
ROAR~~
The Brute spotted Zhang Chen on the rooftop and roared in fury.
A large portion of its chest was charred, but it wasn't dead yet!
[20% of Brute's body tissue has been destroyed... 10% more is needed to kill it completely!]
No fear, one more time!
Zhang Chen aimed the electromagnetic cannon and began to charge again.
Zzzt zzzt zzzt...
BOOM!
Another lightning-like current!
It pierced directly through the Brute's body!
Killed!
The Brute's body, along with hundreds of regular zombies around it, dissipated into mist and scattered into the air!
Awesome!
This was the most satisfying kill of a Brute!
However...
Such bombardments were like throwing a large stone into the ocean for the zombie horde.
Although it caused a brief splash, it was quickly submerged.
It was as if nothing had happened.
The vacuum zone on the road was filled again.
And they surged forward.
The electromagnetic cannon had fired twice consecutively, and its muzzle was starting to glow red. The mecha system also prompted that the weapon was overheating and could not be used again temporarily.
RUMBLE!
RUMBLE!
Deafening explosions came from behind Zhang Chen.
He knew that the zombie horde had bypassed from other roads and had already entered the trap area!
Zhang Chen casually sliced open a Crawler that had climbed onto the rooftop, attempting a sneak attack.
Then, he leaped upwards, hovering in mid-air.
Screeeech-CLICK!
The rocket launcher on his shoulder popped out.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH-WHOOSH!
Dozens of rockets were launched towards the zombie horde below.
Rocket barrage!
The entire street was consumed by the fear of the rockets' powerful explosions!
BOOM~~RUMBLE~~
The immense sound echoed through the buildings.
Countless windows shattered in response!
Waves of heat lifted the regular zombies near the explosion radius high into the air.
Then slammed them heavily onto the ground.
Some zombies were unlucky.
They landed headfirst.
Instantly turning into a cloud of white mist.
The street below was a mess.
It was impossible to tell if it was the dust kicked up by the rockets or the white mist from countless fallen zombies.
But before the smoke could dissipate.
At the street corner, countless zombies were attracted by the explosions, rushing in eagerly.
Another dense mass...
