Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 491: Holding the Line

The battle on the outskirts of the Followers of the Snow God camp had reached its climax.

There was no need for elaborate tactics—the zombie horde had only one strategy: overwhelming with sheer numbers!

Over 200,000 zombies had completely encircled the camp, launching relentless assaults from all directions.

The human forces used every means at their disposal to fight back—artillery, traps, superhuman abilities, and melee combat!

Every possible method was being deployed.

They knew they couldn’t retreat. Their formation was hollow in the center, completely surrounded, with no way out.

Their only option was to fight to the death and hold the line until Bian Junwu and his team completed the decapitation mission!

Blood and flesh flew across the battlefield.

Zombies were blasted to pieces, but even with only half a body left, they continued crawling forward, roaring.

Human soldiers, armed with advanced weaponry, could take down hundreds of zombies each.

But a single misstep meant being overwhelmed by the endless horde.

Even if a zombie couldn’t bite through their protective gear, sheer numbers could crush them under the weight.

Not to mention the giant mutated rats, which could break through their defenses.

From his vantage point atop a high-rise, Zhang Yi systematically sniped nearly all the Bronze Armored Zombies.

His terrifying precision as a sniper became even more apparent on the battlefield.

It could be said that Zhang Yi alone had relieved at least 20% of the pressure on the allied forces!

If those heavily armored Bronze Armored Zombies had reached the frontlines, the human defenses would have collapsed in no time!

Time flew by—twenty minutes had already passed.

The allied forces fought while retreating.

Each withdrawal left behind an array of traps, filled with incendiary materials and explosives, wiping out waves of zombies.

The defensive perimeter kept shrinking, and casualties had already reached 30%!

Xiao Honglian gritted her teeth and contacted Bian Junwu.

“We can’t hold out much longer! How’s it going on your end?”

Bian Junwu’s response was cold. “We’re close to finding the Zombie King. Hold on a little longer, and we’ll have results soon!”

Hearing this, the allied forces clung to the last shred of hope and continued their desperate defense.

But after ending the call, Bian Junwu remained outside—he hadn’t ventured underground yet.

He was still waiting for more zombies to emerge from below.

With an attack of this scale, Bian Junwu was certain that the Zombie King wouldn’t want to lose.

If Zhang Yi and the others held out long enough, the Zombie King would be forced to send reinforcements.

This was a battle of endurance.

And the Zombie King couldn’t be sure whether this was a trap.

As long as the opportunity presented itself, Bian Junwu’s seven-man assassination team would strike.

...

The battlefield ahead was turning into a bloodbath!

Liang Yue, Uncle You, and Fatty Xu formed a special task force, reinforcing the western flank.

Liang Yue’s Loong Roar Sword was made from Adamantium—otherwise, it would have dulled from hacking zombies!

She moved like a human tornado, slashing through the horde with relentless fury, her blade tearing dozens of zombies apart with each swing!

Uncle You had incredible defense, but when faced with the massive zombie horde, he relied primarily on his two enormous Gatling guns to mow them down.

The only good news was that Zhang Yi and his team had an ample supply of ammunition.

At this moment, Fatty Xu’s abilities proved invaluable.

His Snowstorm ability was incredibly versatile, especially in battlefield control.

While not as deadly as Wei Dinghai’s Ice and Snow Lord, which excelled in stealth attacks, Fatty Xu’s ability to control the battlefield was even stronger. 𐍂аNöＢĘṤ

Different strengths for different situations.

With his power alone, Fatty Xu covered an area of several kilometers in ice and snow, drastically slowing the zombies down.

This gave the others an opportunity to cut them down more efficiently.

Though Zhang Yi’s team was small, they were among the most active on the battlefield, contributing more than many larger factions!

Time crawled by, another thirty minutes passing in an agonizing struggle.

Every second felt like an eternity, filling everyone with despair.

But they had no choice—they were cornered, forced to fight like madmen against the undead tide!

The relentless fighting gradually slowed the zombie advance.

Although the horde kept pushing forward, the allied forces’ shrinking formation made it harder for them to break through.

However, casualties among the ordinary followers of the Snow God began to mount.

No matter how tight the defensive line was, some zombies would inevitably slip through.

And at this point, no one had the capacity to care about the fate of the common followers.

Although the Followers of the Snow God had evacuated them to high-rise buildings and deep underground tunnels in advance,

Zombies and giant rats had an uncanny ability to sense living prey.

Some zombies managed to breach the defenses and infiltrate the hiding places of the followers.

And there were no elite fighters stationed there.

Just a few zombies could slaughter an entire floor of defenseless believers!

Screams filled the air as they rushed to the windows, crying out for the armed forces to save them.

Xiao Honglian and the others ignored their pleas.

They had no manpower to spare—barely managing to protect themselves.

Even Zheng Yixian and his people could only sigh and mutter, “Return to the Divine Kingdom.”

Then, they turned away, indifferent.

At this moment, just holding back the zombie horde was pushing them to their limits.

If they split their forces to deal with scattered zombies in the rear, their entire defensive line would collapse.

Zhang Yi spotted a dozen zombies slipping through.

He hesitated for a moment before adjusting his aim and picking them off one by one.

He didn’t particularly care about the fate of the Followers of the Snow God.

But he absolutely couldn’t allow chaos to break out behind them.

If the common believers panicked and ran everywhere, they could disrupt the frontline forces.

However, more and more zombies were breaching the defenses.

The battle had devolved into brutal hand-to-hand combat.

“It’s already been forty minutes! What the hell is going on over there?”

Xiao Honglian and Xing Tian were getting anxious.

They were supposed to hold the line for thirty minutes—why were the zombies still attacking with full force?

“There are still a lot of zombies underground. Hold on for ten more minutes, and we’ll finish them off!”

Bian Junwu’s cold reply irritated Xiao Honglian and the others.

But at this point, they had no choice but to believe him.

As the defensive perimeter shrank further, the hiding places of the ordinary followers had to be abandoned.

But this also had an unexpected advantage.

Zombies were drawn to living humans, highly sensitive to their presence.

The large concentration of believers became an irresistible lure, drawing a significant portion of the horde away.

This significantly reduced the pressure on the combat forces.

In fact, from the very beginning, these believers had been part of Bian Junwu’s plan—as bait.

To annihilate the zombie horde, anything was expendable.

Desperate screams echoed throughout the camp.

Without the protection of the armed forces, the ordinary believers stood no chance against the zombie and rat swarms.

They quickly became nothing more than food for the undead.

Just as Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they could hold on a little longer,

Beside him, Hua Hua suddenly pricked up its ears, growling as it bared its sharp fangs!
