In front of those 2 battalions, there were countless barbed wires and as the ordinary zombies shambled forwards, they were ripped and shredded by the blades, before being flattened underneath the zombies pushing from behind.
On top of that, there were countless uneven picks made of ice, which were made by using hot water in the midst of construction. It was simple, but effective, and as those zombies hit those steps, they were stopped by those picks, directly squashed from behind, and never getting up again.
These were all simple traps, but enough to cause over a thousand of the zombies to fall, before being crushed by their own.
The horde was simply too large, as countless zombies continued to pour towards the city, and with the advance of the L2, even those barbed wires were torn apart. As for those defences made of ice, they were stomped to pieces by the L2s as well.
Led by the L2s, more zombies managed to break past and got closer to the defensive posts.
This time, the experts from the 3rd and 5th Battalions rushed forth to engage the zombies in slaughter.
The moment the battle switched to melee, slowly but surely, casualties were appearing in the 2 battalions.
Thousands of S2s caught wind of the scent of blood, and dodged the rain of bullets to charge at the defence. Many of them were gunned down, but the moment those S2s breached the defence, it was hell on earth to those soldiers.
At this point, those barbed wires and uneven grounds with ice picks were most effective, causing the speedy S2s to be helpless against the traps, as they fell and were trampled upon by their ordinary zombies from behind. After all, the S2s had none of the strength the L2s possessed.
“Fire the cannons!!”
As the dense horde got closer and closer, the mortar and artillery team that were silent throughout finally bared their fangs.
Rounds after rounds of missiles landed on the horde, blasting an entire area apart, causing numerous zombies to be obliterated, turning into ash.
A single volley of heavy artillery was enough to cause a huge patch of the horde be wiped out.
“Scum Battalion, forwards!!” Yue Zhong eyed the sea of zombies and ordered coolly.
Amidst the Scum Battalion, one of the commanding officers, Wang Jian, who had chosen to betray Yue Zhong together with Murong He, bellowed furiously as he wielded a steel blade and charged at the horde: “Everybody charge!! We have only this shot at life left!! If we don’t kill them, we’ll be the ones to die!!”
“Kill!”
The criminals from the Scum Battalion charged out with bloodshot eyes at the horde that had just suffered a round of heavy artillery attacks.
Behind those criminals, 2 IFVs as well as 10 machine gun-mounted vehicles and 100 soldiers followed behind, eyeing them coldly. If there were any strange movements from the Scum Battalion, they would execute them immediately.
These criminals had been trained to the point of exhaustion after being sentenced by Yue Zhong, undergoing even more gruelling sessions compared to the Special Forces. They became so numb, and now, when faced with the threat of their lives being endangered, they looked back and realized how precious life was. Seeing those zombies, they unleashed their pent-up feelings, fighting to survive.
Only by killing enough zombies, then these criminals would regain a chance at freedom, and gaining proper meals.
These cannon fodder charged through the ordinary zombies, carving out a bloody path, however, they soon came across an obstacle.
An L2 appeared, and as 4 of the criminals slashed with all their might, they only managed to create a few scars on the skin.
The L2 raised its huge fist and pummeled one of the criminals, causing his brain to be instantly pulverized.
