A battle was organized by the remaining domestic official bases, with the majority of them joining forces to capture former military bases. Although they did not achieve a complete victory, the two groups successfully seized the coveted military bases after battling the roaming zombies within.
Due to the scarcity of raw materials and the fact that most personnel responsible for production had turned into zombies, it would be difficult to produce new weapons.
However, with the significant decrease in the human population and limited personnel in each base, the captured conventional weapons from these two military bases could supply the people for a long time.
Among them were numerous weapons of mass destruction, which could be used according to the original plan. At least one or two former cities could be selected for thorough bombardment. After assessing the effectiveness of this plan, the other bases could tailor their strategies based on the outcome of this operation.
In a second-tier city near T City, to the southwest, the hot weapons obtained through the joint action of dozens of bases were transported to the central base of the operation while the zombies still slumbered in the snow.
Simultaneously, to boost morale and mitigate the negative impact of the failed operations in the three military bases, the central base immediately organized personnel to carry out comprehensive bombing missions on the nearest second-tier city, coinciding with another snowfall.
Military vehicles loaded with terrifying weapons were transported to designated locations, and the commander-in-chief, filled with excitement, issued the order to commence the campaign: “Bombardment, begin!”
The battle began, and after a collective launch of missiles from a rocket launcher vehicle, a deafening roar shook the earth.
Canons of various calibers, and small missiles, accompanied by a howling sound, bombarded the sleeping city.
In another part of the land, a base equipped with heavyweight weapons also initiated its operation. Unlike the previous city, the military bases captured by these forces contained a large number of bombers and bombs. Compared to ground weapons, these weapons were undoubtedly more effective at leveling a city.
One by one, aircraft took off, and after passing over the city, the snow-covered city blossomed with vivid flowers…

The roar of explosions resounded, and the earth seemed to be engulfed in anger. Brilliant red flowers bloomed everywhere, and thick black smoke rose, turning the once quiet city, brought to a standstill by winter and slumbering zombies, into a living hell.
The remaining people in the city, still fighting for survival, gazed in astonishment at the breathtaking scene outside their windows and listened to the thunderous explosions. They were bewildered, unable to comprehend what was happening.
Having experienced the transformation of zombies and the sudden transformation of their loved ones and friends into flesh-eating monsters, they had not been killed.
After experiencing global minor earthquakes, substandard housing, and furniture collapsing on them, they were not crushed to death.
After enduring water and power shortages, lack of clothing and food, and the arduous task of scavenging for food and water amidst zombie attacks to sustain their lives, they did not starve to death.
After experiencing conflicts with their companions, and witnessing the deaths of loved ones and friends one by one in the struggle for food and survival against zombies, they did not die in despair.
But now, they could no longer survive.
How many zombies were killed by the massive vibrations and explosions? They were not sure. But they saw their living space, the last refuge that could protect them, with doors and windows blown off and walls shattered under the bombardment. The food and water they carefully collected in the apocalypse were either blown away or burned after the buildings were destroyed.
And outside, the zombies that were originally blocked by the buildings and refused to leave rushed toward them after losing their shelter.
The survivors in the two cities, in the first snowfall after the New Year, mostly died in the bombings or were devoured by zombies. Perhaps some of them were lucky enough to escape this disaster, just as there were always some zombies in these two cities that survived due to their favorable positions. But how many lucky ones were there? No one knew.
“I refuse to accept it, I refuse!” A man with a dirty face and stubble roared as half of his body was pinned under the collapsed house, blood streaming down his face. He looked up at the smoky sky and the snowflakes falling: “Why! Why didn’t I die in the jaws of zombies but have to die in their bombings? They escaped the city themselves, abandoning us amid zombies, never sending anyone to rescue us, and now they come to bomb the city!”
Not far from the man, several lifeless bodies lay in a pool of blood, two of them still on fire as the flames consumed their clothes and hair.
“Why, why…” The man’s vision became increasingly blurred due to excessive blood loss. Just as he exhausted his last strength to shout those words, several zombies, missing several body parts, sensed the smell of fresh blood and swayed toward him.
“Zombies… zombies… hehe, zombies…” The man felt an even fiercer blaze of anger as he saw those zombies, who suffered the same pain and injuries but seemed unaffected, still able to move, still able to hunt for food. After this battle, as long as they retained most of their limbs, they would slowly recover!
Suddenly, he raised his arm towards the nearest zombie. “Come! Bite me! Bite me! Turn me into a zombie too! From today on, I won’t be human anymore! I’ll become a man-eating monster!”
The nearest zombie, enticed by the exposed arm, gleamed in its eyes and lunged at the man, biting into his arm. Not far from the man, the lifeless bodies subtly moved their fingers…
“Mr. Zhang, the intercepted official message just now stated that the nearby base will completely bomb the cities of V and P in the south today.” In a villa area, a man who had just received the message walked into one of the villas.
In the living room of the villa, a middle-aged man sat on the sofa, while across from him, a young male zombie, although constantly roaring fiercely, was tightly bound.
Upon closer inspection, although this zombie was also roaring at the nearby humans, it didn’t appear as ferocious as the other zombies outside. Although its current behavior couldn’t compare to the two neighboring zombies in the Aixuan community, this relative calmness and obedience were completely incomparable to other zombies.
“Oh? The fight finally begins?” The middle-aged man sneered upon hearing the news, holding a crystal with a translucent green core in his hand. He carefully brought it in front of the young zombie, which eagerly swallowed it in one bite.
“Take it easy, Anan. Eat slowly.” After feeding the zombie, the middle-aged man wore a sinister smile, as if sighing, “Let them bomb it, as long as they don’t hit the roof of my house. After all, all the living people will eventually turn into zombies, and the survivors in the city are no exception. Those guys won’t care about human rights when they start killing.”
Having said that, he paused and observed the young zombie’s reaction to eating the crystal, as if carefully confirming its emotions. He sighed again, “It’s a pity those two cities are too far away from us. Otherwise, after the bombing, we could send people over. Who knows, maybe we could pick up a bunch of zombie crystals for free.”
The man standing by the side remained silent and only spoke in a low voice after his boss finished expressing his thoughts, “The matter of sending people out to retrieve weapons from the base…”
Mr. Zhang, the middle-aged man, pondered for a moment. “It’s about time. I’ll discuss it with them and make sure to do it before the snow melts. And about the research on the energy of the crystals, we need to get another batch of crystals and urge those scientists to speed up their research. If we can extract the energy from the crystals, we might be able to completely replace electricity and even develop new weapons! Unfortunately, we lack a lot of equipment now, otherwise…”
“We can send cars to the factories from before the apocalypse to search!”
The middle-aged man shook his head slightly. “The military is also keeping an eye on those things, and they don’t mention a lot of information in radio or satellite communications. Each base operates independently. It’s different from before the apocalypse. Whoever grabs it first, it’s theirs. There’s not much difference between warlords and feudal lords.”
“But that’s not our concern. Our main focus now is to wait for those scientists to figure out how to restore the consciousness of zombies and how to safely turn people into zombies without losing their memories and intelligence!”
As he spoke, a gleam of excitement and madness sparkled in the middle-aged man’s eyes.
The selfishness and ruthlessness of human beings! So many survivors died without warning, so many zombies who’d been once human too…
i feel so bad for those survivors, humans are really still humans worst enemy, even when the whole world is against them, they’d still find a way to turn against each other. we deserve to be extinct.
You can tell that the bombings were more about making them feel better then an actual tactical strategy cause if they actually wanted to kill the max amount of zombies they probably should have waited till the snow melted. Laying on the ground under a thick layer of snow probably helped a lot of zombies survive. Also, now there’s even less stuff to scavange. In a world with no livestock and where you can only grow potatos and carrots. Smart.
Another madman? Is he dreaming of raising his own zombie empire the after all he wants to know how to turn humans into an intelligent zombie.
Every powerful old man wants to gain immortality.
Well. That was a kaleidoscope of the worst human beings… TY for the update 🤣❤️
