The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 240
Chapter 240 Northern Counterattack
6:00 a.m. July 5, 2030.
It was just dawn, but in the Western Military Region, the outer city of the ancient capital had yet to erupt in battle.
Of course, this was definitely unusual. From July 2 onwards, when Han Xiaoxuan guessed Yifan’s intention to pass on her cultivation, she was smart enough to immediately let the Duan Clan spread out to investigate.
However, fifty kilometers away that day, scattered zombies were found rapidly gathering.
After Han Xiaoxuan learned of the situation, she quickly reported the situation to Lieutenant General Sun. Lieutenant General Sun, who originally admired Han Xiaoxuan, was also extremely decisive. He immediately referred to Han Xiaoxuan as a major general of the Western Military Region, plus Duan Wenxuan and the support of his family.
Han Xiaoxuan quickly ascended to the throne. Right now, she could be said to be the most powerful and capable young man in the Western Military Region. Of course, she was also the most powerful young man.
Han Xiaoxuan was incomparably wise. That night, she gathered her head to a meeting. That night, she finalized the battle plan and the retreat plan.
She knew that time was of the essence and that the battle plan was very simple. If the zombies wanted to besiege the city, they would have to face the gates.
If they wanted to face the city gates, they naturally needed to rush over, and this rush, of course, required a route.
The battle plan she had drawn up was called the Lonely City Plan. In a short day, the entire ancient city had been turned into a lonely city and a dead city.
The time it took for the zombies to surround them was delayed.
The so-called lonely city was of course an isolated city. It was also the destruction of key roads and bridges and the forced destruction of the main roads leading to the ancient capital city.
It was impossible to completely stop the zombies, but it was still possible to delay the zombies’ attack. Of course, these delays were used in the retreat plan.
As for the retreat plan, it was related to the Earth Elemental Evolution Realm. In fact, from the moment the plan was finalized, more than 300 Earth Elemental Evolution Realm cultivators in the Ancient Capital City had never stopped thanking them. They were divided into two groups and opened tunnels without stopping for 24 hours. Once the crystal energy was exhausted, they would absorb the crystal cores and replenish them.
That’s right. Their mission is to open tunnels. In Han Xiaoxuan’s plan, they need to open at least two tunnels, ten meters wide, five meters high, and more than a hundred kilometers in at most three days.
The final destination of this tunnel was, of course, a place called Taihua Ancient Town at the foot of Taihua Mountain. That place would be the beginning of a new era for the survivors of the Ancient Capital City.
Of course, it was impossible to evacuate all the 25 million survivors in the city. The target for the tunnel evacuation was tentatively set at 15 million.
It wasn’t Han Xiaoxuan who didn’t want to evacuate everyone, but she knew that it was impossible. If everyone evacuated, who would resist the zombie’s attack?
One had to know that such a large-scale retreat was not so easy. There were too many problems to be solved.
The time required was definitely not short. Where did this time come from? He needed to snatch it from the hands of the zombies with his life.
This meant bloodshed, and it was not a small amount of sacrifice. In Han Xiaoxuan’s calculations, at least millions of people would be buried in this battle.
Han Xiaoxuan could not be said to be weak. In a short period of time, she had deduced countless directions. In the end, only this method could maximize the survival of more humans.
The evacuation plan was like this. The Lonely City Plan was also like this. They had only one goal, leaving behind more fire seeds for the humans.
One had to know that even after arriving at Taihua Ancient Town, there would still be a large number of sacrifices. Taihua Mountain, as one of the five mountains in the world, had many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts.
After the mutation, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn’t treat humans as prey, and their strength shouldn’t be much weaker.
In addition, due to the shortage of food for humans, even if mutated beasts did not provoke humans, humans would still provoke them for their bellies. Of course, the sacrifices here could be foreseen.
Han Xiaoxuan had no choice but to admire Yifan once again. She knew that Yifan had established a small base called Heavenly Rock Town. He had introduced that it was a small town that relied on its backing.
It was only now that she realized how forward-looking Yifan’s decision was. The current situation was already clear at a glance.
The space for humans to survive could only be between zombies and mutated beasts.
Unfortunately, knowing such a thing meant knowing it. It could only be said that it was indescribable. Even if Yi Fan had told Han Xiaoxuan before the zombie riots, the zombies would riot and humans would set up a base at the foot of the mountain.
Han Xiaoxuan estimated that she would not believe it, or at most doubt it. Of course, even if she believed it, she would not be the head of the Western Military Region.
Even now, she was only accepting orders in the face of danger. If it weren’t for this danger, she wouldn’t have had such great power now.
As for the people from the other major military regions, they might even treat Yi Fan as a madman or a fool.
Because, in their eyes, this good, resource-rich city, I don’t want to stay, go to remote mountainous areas, work hard to build what kind of base?
What was even more ridiculous was the statement made by the Eastern Military Region and the Northern Military Region earlier that they would soon clean up the zombies and restore the regime.
What regime is there now? Leave some spark for mankind. As for the regime, it will still be alive two years later. Let’s talk about it.
Han Xiaoxuan hadn’t closed her eyes for three days. In these three days, she had considered a lot. Fortunately, she was an evolutionary, so this level of effort was nothing.
Of course, the most important thing to think about was the retreat. It was simply too complicated. Moreover, the overall situation of the Western Military Region was in her hands. She had a heavy responsibility, so she didn’t dare to play tricks on them.
Of course, it was also her three days of hard work. In exchange for precious time, the zombie army hadn’t been able to reach the gate of the city yet. However, according to her calculations, it should be soon.
“Bang …!”
The door of Han Xiaoxuan’s office suddenly opened. Duan Wenxuan rushed to Han Xiaoxuan and said, “Xiaoxuan, the Corpse Race has arrived. They have already arrived outside the moat.”
“Really …! Finally, we’re here.” Han Xiaoxuan murmured.
Then Han Xiaoxuan says seriously, “Where is Lieutenant General Sun?”
Duan Wenxuan said solemnly, “He has already brought people to the city wall.”
Han Xiaoxuan’s eyes flashed with a trace of unbearability as she said, “Let’s go out and take a look.”
After saying that, the two of them quickly flew out and shot out…
The ancient city was a special thousand-year-old ancient capital. It was the capital of several dynasties in China, with complete ancient city walls and moats.
These were two natural barriers. However, the city walls were ancient after all. Although they had been repaired and strengthened, they would still be barely able to withstand the impact of zombies and the bombardment of elemental energy.
Of course, after the apocalypse, the Western Military Region also had reinforcements and even used steel. However, it was still not perfect. Only half of the city walls were made of steel.
That was the first half of the eastern city wall. However, if the defensive work of the city wall was not perfect, then it was meaningless.
On the walls of the ancient capital.
A middle-aged man in military uniform stood upright. Judging from his rank, he was a lieutenant general. He was lieutenant general Sun.
Looking at the endless group of corpses outside the city, Lieutenant General Sun sighed.
Beside him stood five evolvers. They were all direct descendants of his Sun Clan, and they were all at the fourth rank.
Sun Shoucheng looked at the flood of corpses and shouted, “Prepare to fight!”
The sound shook the sky and reverberated through the entire Ancient Capital City.
“Kacha, Kacha…!”
The sound of gunshots rang out. Countless soldiers were already waiting for orders from the buildings, walls, and towers in the ancient capital.
Humans were no less ferocious than any wild beast in terms of life and death.
“Ah …!”
A zombie cry rang out. It was a three-meter tall, exceptionally sturdy, and sturdy Silver-armored Zombie King within the group of zombies.
This Silver-armored Corpse King’s body was extremely strange. It was like a metal material. The Corpse King’s body was still lingering. Strands of golden light were clearly a zombie, but it appeared extremely dignified. Obviously, he was not an ordinary Corpse King.
Beside him stood three Corpse Kings. Two of them were also Silver-armored Corpse Kings, but their heads were slightly smaller than his.
As for the other Corpse King, apart from the dark blue skin on one of his arms, the skin on the other parts of his body was incomparably pale and emitted a cold aura.
It was probably an Ice Corpse King, but the blue color on its arm seemed to indicate that it was no ordinary Extreme Ice Corpse King either.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”
The Corpse King roared, and countless zombies responded. They began to riot like waves, surging out of the walls of the ancient capital.
Northern Military Region, Imperial Capital City.
Imperial Capital City, also known as Jingdou City, was also divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city was the inner third ring, and the outer city was the outer third ring.
This was the capital before the apocalypse, and also the imperial capital after the apocalypse.
After the apocalypse, the Imperial Capital City was still the most powerful city, with the strongest army, and the most heavily armed city.
If there was a city among humans that could withstand this zombie uprising, then it would definitely be the Imperial Capital City.
Of course, this required everyone in the Imperial Capital City to defend the city with one heart and one mind, regardless of sacrifice.
As for the garrison forces in the imperial capital, the total population in the imperial capital alone was as high as 30 million. Moreover, every survivor since the end of the world, as long as you can still move, must receive training. It can be said that everyone is a soldier.
Within the inner city, the eight great general clans were entrenched. There was no longer any leader. If there was anything important, the eight great general clans would convene a general meeting to study it.
Everyone was smart, occupying their respective positions. They were divided into two sides, restraining each other. One of them was led by the Luo Clan and the other by the Lin Clan.
In terms of imperial capital, the strongest clan was the Luo Clan, because the Luo Clan was a man who had almost reached the peak of power before the end of the world.
Apart from the occasional gunfire, there were no zombies sieging the capital.
In fact, the corpses should have been surrounded, but the strategy of the Northern Military Region was unexpectedly strong.
The eight great clans held a meeting to study the matter, and they were actually divided into eight different directions and began a reverse conquest of the zombies.
Under the attack of powerful missiles and the firepower of powerful ordnance, the zombies were actually pushed back fifty li by the powerful military forces of the Northern Military Region.
Yesterday, it was said that someone heard the Corpse King’s roar. The zombies seemed to be continuing to retreat…
