Central Combat Island, southern section.

A young man sitting inside the giant steel beast—the prototype of a steam-powered tank, asked.

"Captain Louis... I'm a bit nervous, are you sure this machine can do what you think it can?"

"Of course it can! I've got it all planned out! Professor Mark even ran all the data using artificial intelligence to confirm my baby is ready for action. So don't worry, everything's going to be fine!"

The old lecher replied while driving the massive vehicle.

There were six other people inside the tank.

Four people operated the flamethrower turrets, one person drove the tank, and two people manned the main cannon.

The engine of the steel giant roared, occasionally spewing steam like a locomotive.

But the steam was ejected from hundreds of small pipes, not from a single large one.

The tank soon reached the southern center of the island, but to avoid the battlefield filled with zombie corpses and hedgehog barricades designed to deal with infantry, it had to take a detour.

In front of the tank, there was a group of zombies trying to enter the southern canyon, but their numbers were not large.

"I see our people. Prepare for battle, it's time to have some fun!"

The tank fired a volley of incendiary shells, causing a small but fierce fire within the zombie horde.

Then it charged into the zombies!

[You crushed 10 zombies...]

[Gained 1 Experience Point!]

[You crushed 10 zombies...]

[Gained 1 Experience Point!]

...

Like a bull charging through a wheat field, the tank carved a path through the horde of zombies, leaving behind not trampled wheat but crushed zombie bodies.

And this path of corpses continuously provided a large amount of Experience Points!

Four flamethrower turrets sprayed flames into the zombie horde, roasting these undead creatures.

The forward turrets could ignite everything within a 30-50 meter range, while the rear turrets had a range of 15-30 meters.

[You used your equipped weapon to destroy 5 zombies...]

[Gained 1 Experience Point!]

[You used your equipped weapon to destroy 5 zombies...]

[Gained 1 Experience Point!]

...

At the beginning of the operation against the zombies, Louis discovered that—

Once the system recognized this tank as system equipment, as the owner and user of this piece of equipment,

he could gain Experience Points from any zombie the tank crushed, and also share some of the Experience Points earned by his subordinates through the tank.

Now, his Experience Points were surging in like a tide!

The tank was surrounded by raging fire.

The flamethrowers sprayed ordinary gasoline, not burning agents, otherwise they would have melted instantly, but even so, the effect was astonishing.

A stream of fire from one turret could ignite dozens of zombies.

[Congratulations! You have reached Level 10!]

[Reward: —— 2 Attribute Points and 1 Skill Point.]

"Finally!" Louis shouted excitedly.

In this war, he accumulated a large amount of Experience Points, now he could finally upgrade his Mechanician skills to Level 3, hahaha!

The tank continued its rampage, creating death and destruction, but—

Due to poor visibility inside the tank, Louis did not see the massive creature with red skin and four arms, standing seven meters tall.

The creature roared, charging at the tank, flipping it over several times.

It wasn't until the tank's engine sputtered and died that Louis knew things were bad.

The entire left side of the tank was crushed, three of its tracks were torn off, and the vehicle was leaking gasoline...

But the monster did not stop its attack.

It continued to pound the tank with its fists until it turned into a heap of scrap metal...

~~~~~~

Lin Yi was issuing commands.

The code-named "Spy" suddenly reported.

"Boss, there's something strange outside... it's not good, I see a large group of Third Level mutants, led by a massive red-skinned mutant!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's expression changed.

They're here!?

"Everyone, get ready! If you're not in good shape, head to the rear! We're about to have a direct showdown with the final boss!"

Lin Yi shouted, then turned back with anticipation, as if he thought the Zombie General would appear before Hubert's reinforcements arrived...

"All those with laser rifles, try to disable the enemy! They're not easy to kill. We're just buying time, ready the traps to trigger!"

Soon, the enemy arrived...

A red-skinned giant, followed by a hundred huge mutants...

In the battle that lasted five hours.

The support team stayed busy, not just providing ample ammunition for the soldiers, but also setting up and upgrading traps, preparing for a big strike.

The traps triggered, the lead mutants were hit by logs, rocks, and clay pots filled with burning agents.

The logs clearly couldn't kill these mutants, but the three smallest ones fell.

The rocket shot out right after.

In an instant, everything was engulfed in flames!

The mutants caught on fire, but only a few were seriously injured…

Somehow, they seemed to adapt to the flames?

However, the fire slowed them down, followed by a barrage of arrows, laser beams, and bullets.

"Prepare to retreat!"

Lin Yi felt they couldn't hold the wall.

The advanced mutants were just too many…

The Zombie General would protect them like precious treasures, using them as the last weapon in a blitzkrieg.

It was possible that it had been modifying these mutants in some way, speeding up their evolution to prepare for the final battle…

The mutants were getting closer!

But the defenders weren't idle either, warriors from both races unleashed their skills, employing heavy weaponry.

The mutants had just burst out from the flames when they were immediately met with overwhelming firepower.

However, the lackeys and First and Second Level mutants kept swarming.

They sustained casualties due to the traps, but the fire soon waned, and when it finally extinguished, the zombie horde began trying to breach the army's defenses.

Projectiles whistled through the air, a massive, three-meter-long spike struck the steel wall with a loud bang, embedding deep within.

The spike wasn't enough to penetrate the wall, but it was enough to make some dents…

However, the sheer number of spikes began to cause casualties among the defenders—

An orc archer had his belly pierced by a spike, pinning him to the side wall of the canyon.

The human soldier next to him was torn in half. Other projectiles struck the tower they were on, and the tower collapsed with a roar.

Another mutant spat acid at the wall, splattering over the soldiers behind the barricade.

The acid hissed and corroded the soldiers' flesh—even their steel armor couldn't hold it back.

"Mages, take those guys down! I don't care if you exhaust all your Magic Power!"

Lin Yi shouted orders.

The mage captain Piero was the first to react.

He conjured a fire wall about five meters long, completely sealing off the canyon and halting the enemy's advance.

Next, a Wind Mage joined in, but instead of using Wind Blade, he summoned a storm.

The storm also covered an area of about fifty meters, directly blowing away the lackeys. But most importantly, it created a "return wind" effect.

Piero realized his Magic Power consumption had increased several times, cursing, but with the aid of the wind, the flames were extremely effective…

A wave of flames covered nearly a hundred meters, wiping out thousands of zombie enemies.

He received a barrage of Experience Points notifications, instantly boosting him to level 12.

Piero leveled up three times, but before he could feel pleased, he passed out from exhaustion, and the Wind Mage wasn't much better off…

A soldier shouted, "Now that's a combo!"

"What are you all looking at?! Fight, you lazy bums!"

Lin Yi shouted again, never stopping his shooting.

Solomon occasionally reported, "Boss! We've completed the evacuation preparations."

"Great! Everyone, fall back to the eleventh wall! Move quick!"

The soldiers retreated once more.

The tenth steel wall only held the mutants for a minute before being quickly breached by their powerful fists.

But everyone had retreated, and after the mutants broke through, the humans triggered another trap between the tenth and eleventh walls.

This trap wasn't particularly effective, but it bought them some time.

The reinforcements had already arrived at the rear, installing a Gatling gun on an armored vehicle.

The archers fired another volley of arrows, causing the flesh and blood to fall off the giant mutants.

Electric Arrows partially paralyzed some of the larger mutants, and Explosive Arrows left terrible wounds or directly blew off mutant limbs.

When the Zombie General saw the humans continuously killing its beloved "children," it roared in rage.

Then, the entire zombie army went into a frenzy, speeding up their attacks.

Several Third Level powerful mutants sprinted at top speed, crashing into the wall and creating several holes.

In the process, they also suffered severe damage, breaking many bones.

But it didn't matter because ordinary zombies and smaller mutants could already crawl through the holes to engage the defenders in close combat.

Terghai transformed into Dragon Wolf form, rushing ahead, while Teruo used his Magic Blessing to enhance the warriors' body Attributes.

Solomon reached level 10 in combat and now was truly a Stone Man.

He grew taller, his shoulders broader, reaching over three meters in height, with improved body Attributes.

He led the melee soldiers, engaging in fierce combat with the zombies.

Many warriors had rare Skills. Some could transform into half-beasts, many could enhance their weapons, or use some cool technique.

An incredibly fierce battle erupted, with every warrior fighting with all their might.

Terghai engaged the Red-Skinned Zombie General!

But he wasn't a match…

Besides, the lackeys constantly distracted him, hindering his actions.

The Giant seized the moment, deeply embedding its claws into the Dragon Wolf's back, tearing off several scales.

Terghai swung his tail fiercely toward the Giant's face, but was countered by a knee strike to the chin…
