<h4>Chapter 475: Start of the Battle</h4>


    Trantor: _Min_ Editor: Rundi


    The artillery support consisted of eight trucks modified into “Fireball-1”unchers. The previous BM-21s that Jiang Chen bought from Russia quickly went obsolete.


    Just in terms ofbustion, Fireball-1 hadbustion energy twice that of BM-21 and abustion time that was three times longer. At the same time, its uracy was higher.


    Other than thebustion rockets and bombs, the Aerospace Research Technology Institute led by Jiang Lin explored their imagination and designed variousser explosive missiles, EMP missiles, and other futurist weapons.


    EMP missiles were simple to exin. Once exploded, all electronic equipment in the area would be rendered useless or destroyed.


    And the power of the explosiveser missile was not to be underestimated. The missile would beunched into the air before exploding into countless high energy beams. The powerser damage dealt a considerable amount of damage to any target. Under the shower of multiple missiles, the scene would be as glorious as a massive storm.


    Because Jiang Chen contracted out the shell of the rocket to private military factories in the Sixth Street, the number of rockets held in NAC’s reserve far exceeded the 1000 target Jiang Chen had set a month ago.


    Thousands of giant rockets stacked together on theunching ground at the Aerospace Technology Research Institute with the artillery soldiers under the directmand of the advisory department carefully loading the rockets into theunchers.


    Right now, Jiang Chen stood beside theuncher with a tablet in his hand while he listened to Jiang Lin’s instructions.


    “The details of each vehicleunch status is here along with the internal temperature of theuncher and the number of the ammunition. The tablet can be used to target the coverage fire area and the number of rocketsunched. The projectile motion will be calcted with the smart program. Afterpleting all the input specifications, just print your finger beside it.”


    Jiang Chen intriguingly rubbed his chin looking at the red circle beside the tablet.


    “The automatic ammunition loading program is still under design. It won’t bepleted until some timeter. Just use this for now.”


    “Not bad. A reserve of 5100 rounds of rockets, 1000 bombs, 151ser explosive missiles… no EMP?” Jiang Chen asked.


    “No. Themand office ordered us to prioritize the production ofbustion rockets. Isn’t this an attack against mutants? EMP is useless against creatures.”


    It didn’t take long for all theunchers to be loaded. The soldiers all backed five meters away, dragging the ammo boxes with them.


    On themand tablet, the First Corps and Third Corps were marked with blue dots, approaching the city center. The scanned out red dots were zombies and mutants, behaving aggressively. Just from the map, Cheng Weiguo was approaching Wanghai Airport.


    With his finger sliding on the screen, he drew out a circle. Just like a life restricted zone, it included all the mutants in the airport.


    “It feels like I’m casting a spell.” With his finger hovering above theunch button, Jiang Chen grinned.


    “And it is the forbidden spell.” The designer of the weapon Jiang Linughed along.


    With a finger on the red circle, the scanning waves ripped through the screen and the merciless words appeared.


    Fireball-1 attack groupunched.


    At the same time, theunch ground was engulfed by the exhaust left by the ascendingbustion rockets.


    …


    Outside of Wanghai airport, the heavy metal symphony was ying.


    After a few days of rain, the burning marks left on the street were beginning to fade. The dried up corpses under the weather turned to dust.


    Suddenly, the tranquil streets were broken by engines homing and yellow shells.


    Tiger IIs crushed the corpses with its mighty force and the charged cannon released its prowess, shredding the heads of Roshans into bits. The zombies and mutants on the east side of the city spread to the city center again. However, the concentration was at a normal level.


    The machine gun on the top continuously unleashed its bullets as they trampled the zombies on the highway. Zombies without forming into a sizable group would not pose a threat to tanks.


    Most of the risks faced by the First Corps were from the dark alley and the shattered windows of the stores. A lot of zombies in there remained inside, and the zombies from the east were mixed among them.


    “Follow up.”


    Feng Yu in kic skeleton fired with his right hand while his left hand signaled his team to move forward.


    Suddenly, heinous zombies flooded out from a side street and tumbled toward his team.


    “Grenade!”


    A soldier ripped off the grenade in front of his chest and threw it toward the swarm of zombies rushing out.


    Fire, explosion, and chunks of meat flew toward the team.


    Feng Yu shook them off before raising his rifle to fire back.


    Firing in close range meant that only explosive grenades can be used instead ofbustion grenades, or the burning zombies would be catastrophic to other creatures. To the zombies with their limbs exploded off, the soldiers finished them off with one more bullet. Or they stepped on them as most of the soldiers were injected with the gic vine could crush the corroded skull of the zombies.


    “Dammit, there are more and more zombies in the front!”


    With the opportunity to exchange clips, Feng Yu scanned the EP on his left arm.


    The drones marked out the zombies in the area as the dense red dots made his skull feel numb.


    But he would not back down, because he was an upper citizen of the Sixth Street.


    He finally climbed to that level today. He was only one step away from being a knight, he was not going to back down!


    “It’s a Death w!” Suddenly, a shout came through the radio.


    A lizard on its feet, waving its w, rushed out from the street nearby with a soldier struggling to break free from its mouth. From its wrinkled skin, it should be a Death w that survivedst month’s attack.


    “Fu*k!” The face that was slowly losing life chilled Feng Yu.


    Without hesitating, he immediately ordered the team to move back while firing at the head of the Death w.


    “Grenade!”


    Grenades alone could not kill the Death w. At most, it could suppress its movement.


    A sharp w shredded the smoke of the explosion as the grenade hurt it, but it didn’t die.


    The Death w tumbled toward their direction as its two ws waved in front of it. Just as it was about to touch Feng Yu, its throat was mped by a powerful hand that forcefully turned it by 90 degrees, and smashed into the concrete wall.


    “ROARRRR!”


    The Death w let out itsst roar with its sharp ws leaving a series of deafening screeches on the C grade steel.


    But against the T-4 power armor, a dying Death w’s attack was more like a scratch.


    With a hand like an iron w, the minigun fired and the close distance shooting prated the head of the Death w.


    “You owe me a life, buddy.”


    The power armor threw down the Death w and pumped the steel te on its chest before it continued to move with its tactical rifle.


    The armored vehicles began grouping together on the road. The zombies in the area were cleared out, and they didn’t encounter any dangers upon arriving at the airport.


    Breathing heavily, with his rifle lowered, Feng Yu looked at the Death w on the ground still shaken by what had happened.


    “Captain, what are we going to do next?” An infantry moved beside Feng Yu while panting.


    “Continue to move—, wait, alert from themand office.” With the shing symbol on the EP, Feng Yu immediately stopped hisrade from moving forward.


    The fleet stopped moving, and the power armor dashing in front also stopped and enacted a defensive stance.


    Feng Yu raised his head and looked at the clear sky.


    Suddenly, hundreds of sharp arrows soared through while dragging long trails of smokes, heading toward the airport.


    The bright red me ascended into the air and the thick smoke hid away the airport.


    “Combustion rockets…”


    “Our artillery!”


    A soldier put down his gun while staring nkly at the sky. Feng Yu who was gazing at the mes shooting up did the same. He quietly watched the fireworks.


    When the smoke dispersed, only the ground scorching in fire remained.


    The soldiers raised their rifles up high, and loud cheers erupted.


    With the cover fire of the rockets, the First Corps with boosted morale stepped onto the road again. They headed towards thest territory that blocked them from reaching the city center.
