Global Descent: 100×Reward

Chapter 36: Battle the Zombie Wave!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Zombie wave?” Lin Ye raised his eyebrows.

Didn’t the Civilization Archive mention that there would only be a zombie wave every seven days?

It was only the second day now. There was no reason for the wave to arrive early.

Was it because I was too strong? Did the system want to reward me with some experience to level up?

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

The thousands of soldiers in the training grounds stopped their fights.

Pairs of tiger eyes turned to the patrolling soldiers.

What did they just hear?

Zombie wave?

Hammer! It was time to make a name for himself!

They had already obtained information from the older soldiers.

The more enemies they killed, the more contribution points they would get. They would be given upgrade scrolls or high-level equipment.

When they heard this news, the eyes of the thousands of new soldiers lit up and they almost drooled.

If not for the fact that their lord was holding them there, they would have rushed to the front line and killed the invading zombie wave.

On the contrary, the few patrolling soldiers who had escaped were dumbfounded.

They were still instinctively shouting, “It is bad! The zombie… zombie wave…”

The more they shouted, the softer they became.

In the end, they swallowed. The word ‘here’ seemed to be enticing the thousands of excited eyes.

What was going on?!!

At first, they were really frightened by the zombie wave.

Although their lord was rich, he only recruited a few hundred Class 1 soldiers.

If hundreds of Class 1 soldiers were to clash with the thousands of zombies, even if they won, it was unknown how many lower class soldiers would be sacrificed.

Therefore, on the way back, everyone was solemn and it even wavered their loyalty, wanting to escape back to the underworld.

However, when they entered the inner circle of the territory and met those hungry eyes, their mouths gaped so wide that they almost could stuff eggs into them.

“Gods… this number… is at least 2,000!” Someone was flabbergasted.

“As expected of the lord. In less than half a day, our army of soldiers has increased by several folds. It’s simply crazy.” Someone said with reverence.

“What are you standing there mutely for? Come here.”

Lin Ye’s shout startled the few patrolling soldiers.

When they arrived, Lin Ye asked, “What’s going on at the front line, why is there a zombie wave?”

“We don’t know either. The south, east, and west directions have always been safe since we’ve cleaned up the area well. The only exception was the north. Perhaps it’s because of the Haunted House, but there are too many zombies there. We didn’t dare to go over recklessly. However, about ten minutes ago, something strange happened in the north. Before we arrived, we saw a wave of more than a thousand zombies coming from the north. Their target was clear, and they were heading straight for our territory,” the leader of the patrol replied truthfully.

“Zombie wave? Just this?” Lin Ye shook his head, a bit disappointed.

However, this was good as well. He had just strengthened his troops and could treat this as training.

“My lord, I’m not trying to make a mountain out of a molehill but I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”

At this moment, the elegant and easy-going Light Priest Gran walked over and interrupted with a serious expression.

As he showed his presence, he also revealed his other talent to Lin Ye.

“What do you mean,” Lin Ye asked calmly.

“The zombie wave is mentioned in the ancient books of every clan. Except for the seven-day killing tribulation, under normal circumstances, even a zombie king with high intelligence will not casually lead its minions to attack. This is a rule set by the gods. Zombies can never cross that line, but there are a few situations where they are no longer restricted by those rules.”

“The so-called special circumstances are, for example, humans themselves.”

Priest Gran looked straight at Lin Ye and paused for a moment before continuing, “There have been strategies since ancient times to invoke fights between parties while the bystander benefits. Perhaps the lord has offended someone, or that someone wishes to use the zombies to kill the lord. They can use humans to attract the zombies in the north to attack.”

After speaking, he lowered his head and ended there.

“You mean the five-man team!” Lin Ye’s thoughts raced, and he instantly caught onto a trace of something fishy going on.

However, it was not time to guess now.

Tap-tap-tap…

The sound of footsteps was getting closer.

As far as his eyes could see, he could already vaguely see the silhouette of the zombie wave eight hundred meters away.

The large number of zombies was letting out heavy cackling sounds. Their eyes were bloodshot as they charged towards the camp crazily.

“Tru, Adelia,” Lin Ye called out immediately.

“I’m here!” Tru, who was in the crowd, replied loudly.

“I’m ready for your orders!”

On the second floor of the bunker, Adelia leaped and landed in front of him.

“Give the recruits a show. Adelia will command 600 rangers as a cover. Shoot at the wave of zombies from a distance first. After that, Tru and the other Class 2 soldiers will lead the charge. Lead your light armored shield soldiers as the front. Only when the third wave comes, will it be the new recruits’ turn.”

Lin Ye swept his glance across everyone and said calmly, “Let’s get this straight. In terms of equipment, manpower, and level, we should completely crush the zombie wave. If any team has more than five deaths, all contribution points for the week will be wiped off, and living supplies will be reduced to the lowest standard.”

As soon as he said that, both the veterans and the new recruits straightened up. Their excitement was instantly swept away.

“I look forward to your performance. Go then, let the corpses of the zombies become your accomplishments!” Lin Ye waved his hand, pointing at the incoming zombie wave.

“Rangers, enter the 300-meter range and rain arrows down on them from afar!”

Adelia’s gaze sharpened. Although she was injured and could only shoot three times a day, her dynamic vision was completely unaffected.

Watching as the zombies pressed closer, she raised her fingers. “Ten, nine…. three, two, one.”

“Shoot!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

As soon as she finished speaking, more than six hundred arrows tore through the air and fell into the center of the zombie wave like raindrops.

Gurgles!

Blood appeared above the heads of hundreds of zombies.

In an instant, more than forty of them were killed.

After shooting five times in a row, it immediately caused quite a stir among the zombie wave.

There were those which tripped and fell, those which were stepped and trampled on. A gap formed momentarily within the zombie wave.

The ones at the front were only a hundred meters away from the graveyard.

Tru took out his spear and shield. He slammed the shield with the spear in his hand.

“Thud!” A dull sound was heard. While attracting the zombies, it also caught the attention of the light armored shield soldiers.

“Cone-shaped formation, line up!”

He bellowed.

The light armored shield soldiers followed the instructions and quickly arranged themselves into a cone-shaped formation.

At this moment, the zombies in the front row were only 50 meters away. Tru roared, “Charge!”

Whoosh—

300 light armored shield soldiers, with the 25 Class 2 soldiers on the front led by Tru, charged straight into the zombie wave like tyrannical pikes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As soon as the zombies in the front row touched the shields, the terrifying power instantly crushed those Level 1 zombies like a bulldozer.

Zombies were sent flying one after another. As soon as they landed on the ground, the veterans drew their spears and quickly impaled the zombies through the gaps in their shields.

After a few rounds, 70% of the zombies in the front row had been cleared.

While the fight was in full swing,

In the dense forest 500 meters to the west, dozens of stealthy figures circled behind and reached the back of the Lin Ye’s territory.
