The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 676 - 669: Precise Control

Gao Yuan and his comrades could only wait, and the Serpent People were waiting too.

The sky darkened once again, while the aircraft emitting blue light above remained motionless.

It was during the night that the Solar System Squad, which had attacked and then retreated from Djibouti, stopped their retreat upon realizing something was wrong here. They adjusted their route and sent people one after another to inquire about the situation.

But that was all, mere inquiries. They couldn’t even deliver the urgently needed fuel because the retreat was too hasty. The fuel supply vehicles so essential for the tank armored units and the convoy simply had no time to be deployed.

The arrival of the Serpent People’s Mothership disrupted all plans. As a base for the Sanitation Workers, Djibouti had endless supplies, but now, unless all the monsters and zombies in Djibouti were cleared out, the vast resources stored there would just go to waste.

The war fought this way was frustrating. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Time passed slowly, night turned into day, and the Serpent People’s spaceship was still in the air, almost like a camera, only there to monitor the ground.

It was at this time that a breakthrough finally occurred in the standoff.

The moment the sun rose, the previously silent radios suddenly livened up, and a convoy, almost as if synched with the lifting of communication suppression, arrived at the same time.

A convoy of sixteen fuel trucks, four water trucks, and four supply trucks, along with ten ammunition trucks, instantly restored the combat strength of all nearby remnants of the army.

Tanks and armored vehicles rushed to refuel, soldiers who had been starving for a day ate their meals, and ammunition and bullets were replenished. This remnant force, which had taken Djibouti and then been driven out by the Serpent People, regained a certain level of combat strength.

Thus, naturally, a military meeting had to be convened once again.

Without Nate’s tea, without a tablecloth or flowers, just standing beside a Type 59 tank, a few people talking amounted to a pre-battle meeting.

"We won’t retreat. We’ll wait here for the repair of the Type 59," said Ram, looking up at the aircraft in the sky with calm determination. "I think the situation is quite clear now; the Serpent People are playing cat and mouse. They’ve opened our communications, watched us resupply our ammo and provisions. Now we can leave, but we won’t. We’ll just wait here to see what the Serpent People really want to do."

Nate didn’t speak. Xiang Weiguo looked to Gao Yuan, because Gao Yuan was now the captain of Spark Squad, and it was up to him to make the decisions.

In a low voice, Gao Yuan said, "Cut the nonsense. You all retreat after the Type 59 is repaired."

Ram shook his head and said, "No, it’s pointless. Where can we retreat to?"

Indeed, where could they retreat to? Even if they successfully pulled back to Malakal, back to Satan Town, it would only take the Serpent People a few minutes to catch up.

After the Serpent People’s attention shifted here, a mere distance of over a thousand kilometers was meaningless.

Gao Yuan said indifferently, "Still, we need to move the ones that should be moved. Break up the main forces, disperse them."

What is the end times? This is truly the end times.

The Serpent People’s Mothership had arrived, and no matter how one hid or fled, it was all meaningless. Whether it was Shenzhou sending out its final seeds or the Solar System Squad that had struggled up to this point, they were all as feeble as ants before the Serpent People.

Ram could only smile wryly and ask, "Is there any point?"

In fact, not just Nate had resigned himself to certain death, but everyone here knew this was the final war. Europa had completely fallen, America had given up resisting, and Shenzhou was still struggling but no longer harbored any illusions, so the world was ultimately doomed to destruction.

To be precise, it wasn’t Earth that was to be destroyed, but mankind alone.

After Ram learned that even after collecting the Ark of the Covenant and Revelation, he still couldn’t find the Ark, it was very possible that the Ark wasn’t on Earth at all, and thus the last hope of humanity had shattered.

The persistence of Shenzhou, Gao Yuan’s efforts, and the struggles of Ram and Poseidon, all these had turned into bubbles that the Serpent People could burst with a single poke.

Thus, having a final battle here was just a natural course of events. The only outcomes were to die here or go back to Satan Town to die with our families.

Ram preferred to die here because, as a warrior, he could let the Serpent People step over his body to destroy everything behind him, but he could never turn his back and hold his family and lover as they were slaughtered by the Serpent People.

Ram’s intentions were too obvious, so this pre-battle meeting ended just as casually as the one Nate had initiated.

Just then, Li Jingang, standing atop a modified 59 tank, shouted, "I see someone, not sure if it’s a zombie or a human, just one person, coming this way."

Li Jingang raised his binoculars, and after a moment, he suddenly said, "Huh, a big bald head, looks like it’s Murphy."

Ram was surprised, lifted the binoculars, and saw a shiny bald head, then he immediately said, "It really is Murphy, he’s not dead."

Yang Yi whispered, "It’s also possible he’s already dead and now a zombie."

Murphy moved forward alone and slowly; after he approached the Circular Defense Position, he collapsed to the ground, then struggled to get up and continued towards them.

"It’s Murphy, he’s still alive, go get him."

Two men went and helped Murphy back, and when he arrived before Ram, he could hardly stand.

His cracked lips showed Murphy was very thirsty, and his dazed eyes indicated he could faint at any moment.

"Water, give me water..."

Beyond Djibouti lies the desert. If Murphy had walked over two hundred kilometers of desert, his will was indeed strong.

Murphy grabbed the water bottle and gulped down the water, and after regaining a bit of energy, he immediately said, "Where is Xinghe?"

Gao Yuan pointed to Xinghe’s location, and Ram said to Murphy, "Seeing you alive is both unexpected and a relief. Tell me what happened to you?"

Murphy took a deep breath, freed himself from Li Jinfang’s support, and plopped down on the ground. Holding onto the canteen and panting, he said, "Everyone I led is dead, killed instantly. I knew something was wrong, so I drove off by myself, but the zombies caught up with me quickly. Just when I was about to lose my life, the zombie about to bite me suddenly stopped. They ceased moving, stopped attacking me, and just stood there. Then they joined the large horde of zombies and started moving this way."

After speaking, Murphy pointed behind him and whispered, "I walked all the way here, just ahead of the zombie horde. The zombies seemed to be summoned here, and they kept coming until I saw the ship hovering in the sky. So, you know what this means, right? The Serpent People can now control those zombies, with precision."
