Chapter 160: Zombie tidal wave finally strikes

The speed of the controlled zombies is extremely fast. In a short three days' time, they have already reached a few miles away from A's city walls.

Up on the city walls, every available cannon, mortars and howitzers has been turned to face the front, with all the Ability Users lining the wall as well.

"Like this...there really wouldn't be any problems? Boss?" A soldier tightly gripping his rifle asks nervously, glancing at the handsome man next to him. Dressed in a neatly-pressed military uniform, unlit cigarette clenched between his teeth, submachine gun resting on his shoulder and a foot stepping on the low merlon, he exudes a magnificent aura.

Sure enough, Boss is the best-looking officer out here...eh...no, no. Now is not the time to be thinking about this. Zombies are about to lay siege to the city. Their top priority is to ensure these walls are not breached, and the survivors within are kept safe. If they fail, the last survivors left in this country will...

This fortified city spans a vast piece of land. He has no idea why Boss would issue a command like this, but he unexpectedly ordered everyone to guard only the front. What if this horde decides to flank them from the sides and rear? Wouldn't this be a lost battle from the very start?

"When has your Boss ever been unreliable? Rest easy and concentrate on defending!" Long Zhanye waves a dismissive hand towards the soldier.

"Yes, Sir." Clicking his heels together and saluting, the soldier clutches his firearm closer and fixes his gaze in front.

Right this moment, a few figures appear, dashing over at high speeds. Before anyone has time to react, they leap high into the air, landing easily on the top of the city wall as though they had somehow grown wings.

Black hair fluttering elegantly in the wind, the person crouching on the low merlon regards everyone calmly, like a deity surveying mere mortals below.

"Is everything settled?" A faint, affectionate smile appears on Long Zhanye's face as he draws that person into his arms.

"Of course," Huo Zaiyuan answers, kissing Long Zhanye's cheek.

The sweet little exchange between the pair of lovers succeeds in easing quite a bit of nervous tension. More than a few soldiers witnessing this scene flush red, but can't seem to pull their gazes away.

"Focus on the front! Not allowed to look here!" In a flash, the smile on his face morphs into a furious glare, startling the soldiers who instantly turn their heads away, not wanting to bring their Boss' ire upon themselves.

Time seems to crawl by slowly. None of the defenders knows exactly how long they stood at the ready for when suddenly, a loud alarm rings through the entire city. The warning comes from one of the watchtowers near the walls.

"Everyone, at the ready. Tens of thousands of undead have appeared..." This short message repeats three times before cutting off.

Above the city wall, the soldiers move forward to the edge, all firearms aimed towards the front. The crews manning the cannons and various artilleries take up position, and the runners in charge of delivering ammunition increase their speed ten-fold.

"Reporting. Another large swarm has been spotted coming from the east!" Another voice informs over the loudspeaker. The east side means A City's left. The wall on that end is completely unmanned.

As soon as this report information sounds, the troops from other cities that volunteered to assist in guarding the walls fall into a panic. On the other hand, the well-trained soldiers of A City remain firmly glued to their positions, unfazed by the announcement.
