After the joint attack on Yunling City by civil forces in Yunhai City, the overall situation in Yunhai City changed.
In this incident, Yunling City and the three official bases were not damaged, but the four major civil forces and the six medium civil forces suffered heavy losses.
After the 10 civil forces retreated, they all lost the strength and courage to enter into foreign affairs. They can only try their best to stabilize the base and work hard to kill zombies to restore the lost power.
Yunling City's Zhao Xuan and Yunling City's mutant dog Hei Yun both advanced to level four. Not only did Zhao Xuan replace Yan Chengfeng as the number one expert in Yunhai City, but Yunling City also became recognized as the strongest base.
It stands to reason that Yunling City should naturally become the city where all free mercenaries want to be stationed, but this is not the case. After the incident, the population of Yunling City did not change much, and even tended to decrease.
The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that Yunling City was built on the seaside.
Ever since Zhao Xuan was injured and comatose on the battlefield of the Sea Tribe, the threat posed by the Sea Tribe to land creatures, especially those in offshore areas, has become increasingly greater.
Perhaps because the end of the world has been around for a long time, the strength of the originally weak Sea Tribe began to grow rapidly. Countless sea tribesmen who came ashore were constantly adding energy and meat to Yunling City, and they were also gradually increasing their damage to humans.
The situation has developed to this point. Both the mercenaries in Yunling City and the mercenaries in the base outside have developed a certain degree of fear towards the Hai Clan troops who come ashore regularly every day.
They can no longer keep the Hai Clan firmly on the beach. Instead, they must put the Hai Clan under the east and south walls of Yunling City, which is only more than a thousand meters away from the sea, and rely on city defense to resist. Sea people, and wait for opportunities to hunt the sea people to obtain meat and crystal cores.
But people with a discerning eye can already see that as time goes by, as the overall strength of the Hai Clan becomes stronger and stronger, sooner or later the Hai Clan will break through the walls of Yunling City and destroy Yunling City.
This caused the mercenaries outside to lose confidence in settling in Yunling City.
Many generals in Yunling City were worried about this, but Zhao Xuan was not too nervous. Because Zhao Xuan knew that it was unrealistic to completely block the Hai Clan. In two years at most, the Sea Clan will completely occupy the offshore land and force all offshore survivor bases to move inland.
The fundamental reason why Zhao Xuan insists on seizing Yunling Villa to build Yunling City is not for long-term peace and stability, but to use this favorable terrain to achieve the purpose of training troops and collecting high-quality meat.
As long as the soldiers are well trained and high-grade meat is collected, they will not be at a loss when the time comes to retreat into the interior.
Now Zhao Xuan was thinking deeply in front of a document.
The document was signed by the three official bases as well as the Iron Sword Martial Arts Hall and Lingxiao Pavilion. The content of the document is to invite Zhao Xuan to participate in the encirclement and suppression of two of the three corpse kings in Yunhai City.
In order to maximize Yunling City's interest in participating, the inviters unanimously promised that the spoils would be distributed fairly according to contribution. And if the Space Corpse King is captured, the space crystal core will belong to Zhao Xuan.
The document did not mention dealing with the Dark Corpse King on the East China Sea, the Dragon Python King who threatened the Longcheng Gang, and the Golden Eagle King who threatened the War Drum Hall, nor did it mention the Tiger King in Zhenhai District.
Zhao Xuan, who has memories of his past life, knows all about the true purpose of the inviters.
"Haha, it's really a reality. On the surface, the slogan is to eliminate disasters for the surviving humans, but in fact, it is all for the growth of his own force. Qin Kedi took a fancy to the fourth-level thunder crystal core of the Thunder Corpse King, and Yan Chengfeng took a fancy to the rare fourth-level light-type zombies among the Space Zombie Kings, while Sikong Zhen took a fancy to the fourth-level wind-type zombies among the thunder-type zombie kings. They both needed those crystal cores to advance to the fourth level quickly. After all, level three to level four is a big hurdle, and it is not easy to break through. The other two official bases are interested in the mountains and seas of level three zombie crystal cores in the two zombie groups. They want me and Hei Yun to Go fight the main force and help them block the Corpse King and other level four zombies to prevent any accidents from happening." Zhao Xuan said with a smile.
"Then are we going?" Zhang Xiaocai asked.
"Of course we want to go. We take advantage of the fact that the Sea Clan has no threat to our outer city wall yet, so we can clear out those two groups of zombies and harvest a large number of high-level crystal cores," Zhao Xuan said.
"But there are so many zombies. The two zombie groups add up to more than five million. Even a pile of them can kill humans. Not to mention there are so many third-level and fourth-level zombies." Qin Feng Said unoptimistically.
"This is the reason. But this time the situation is different. In order to achieve their goals this time, the three major official bases have decided to use all the missiles in stock." Zhao Xuan said.
"Boss, aren't the current missiles unable to be launched? How do they use them?" Lu Qiang asked in confusion.
"Although the missile couldn't be launched, they changed the use of the missile. They decided to use the missile as a mine." Zhao Xuan said.
"Ah, missiles are used for mines?" The generals were stunned for a moment.
"Yes, although the missile cannot be mounted on the launcher, it can stand on the path where the zombies must pass and detonate it with a fuse. The zombies don't know missiles anyway."
"By using the missile in this way, not only the warhead part of the missile can function normally, but also the missile's rocket engine fuel can be used, which greatly increases the missile's lethality."
After a while, the generals came to their senses and were all impressed by the idea.
"I just don't know how many missiles are stored in the three official bases? If the number is small, it won't have much effect." Someone immediately said worriedly.
"You don't have to worry about this. The three official bases are responsible for guarding the largest city in our country before the end. Their total number of large, medium and small missiles is not a thousand, but also eight hundred." Someone said very optimistically.
"If that's the case, why didn't they use it before?" someone questioned.
"This..." The optimistic person was suddenly speechless.
However, Zhao Xuan showed a clear smile.
The reason why missiles were not used in the past was mainly because the official base had not been directly threatened by the zombie hordes, and they thought it was unnecessary.
They want to save that thing for the most critical moment.
But now they have discovered that no matter what kind of creature it is, once its level breaks through to level four, it seems that even heavy artillery can be ignored to a certain extent. They began to worry, wouldn't even missiles be able to kill the creatures after they reached level five, six, or seven?
Rather than that, it is better to use the missile on the edge of the knife now.
Regarding this, Zhao Xuan could only say that their choice could not be more correct.
