Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space Chapter 896 896: Attacked From Both Sides ( 16 )

Upon hearing his brother's words, Chen Qianxiao declared, "Qianfeng, I'm afraid we're dealing with an alien invasion."

Right after those words left his mouth, Chen Qianfeng saw the sunlight vanish in an instant, mimicking a solar eclipse. A chill of foreboding gripped him as he tilted his head skyward, spotting a enormous saucer-shaped craft hovering overhead, blotting out the sun entirely.

"Brother, I believe I've spotted the spaceship as well."

His sentence wasn't even complete when the signal abruptly cut off, breaking their connection. The crackling static from his phone drew a heavy sigh from him before he tucked it away.

The abrupt arrival of alien spaceships left both the Lin'an City Base and Green Lake Base completely unprepared.

Meanwhile, in Gongzhou City, Pei Yijun gazed at a colossal spaceship looming over the steep cliff near the Mountain Base.

Chu Zhimiao, standing next to him, whispered in disbelief, "What in the world is that?"

"It resembles a spaceship straight out of the movies," Li Yang responded.

After a tense pause, Pei Yijun commanded, "Sound the alarm and get ready for combat."

Chu Zhimiao and Li Yang, hearing this, understood a dire crisis loomed ahead.

All had believed the endless winter was the worst trial, yearning for its end. Yet with winter gone, they now saw it as the calmest period since the apocalypse began.

As the piercing alarm echoed across the Mountain Base, civilians rushed to underground bunkers while brawlers and mutants geared up for the fight.

Chaos like this unfolded not just in Huaxia and the Thirteen Colonies, but across the globe, with endless alien spaceships materializing over human strongholds.

Aboard the Earth-orbiting space station, astronauts gaped in shock at the swarm of spaceships invading the planet's orbit. Just when they thought that was the extent, a gigantic alien space station materialized from thin air.

In a flash, it barreled toward them. Their own station seemed like mere dust beside the alien behemoth.

They had no time to respond before the alien station pulverized theirs into fragments. The blast left no mark on it, scattering only wreckage through the void.

Within the alien space station, a enormous insect perched atop a towering platform. This platform dominated one-third of the immense hall, making the bug appear colossal next to the Matkuna Generals below it.

The Matkuna Generals prostrated before the monstrous bug, conversing in their alien tongue. Soon, the giant insect parted its jaws, emitting a shrill screech.

That piercing cry broadcast to every spaceship dispatched to Earth.

Obeying their King's directive, a brilliant beam lanced from each spaceship to the surface below. Wherever the light struck, it reduced all within to ash.

BOOM!

Moments later, hordes of Matkuna soldiers emerged from the light pillars.

Survivors, catching sight of them, erupted in panic and fled chaotically. Order collapsed as Matkuna troops seized weapons and slaughtered humans indiscriminately.

Zing! Zing! Zing!

Laser blasts tearing through flesh blended with the wails and shrieks of the dying.

This slaughter ravaged small bases and survivor camps. Larger bases, however, stood firm against the Matkuna onslaught.

Thirty minutes into the assault, Wen Hanli faced a flood of desperate pleas from neighboring bases.

"Our base is under siege too—we can't spare anyone to aid you," he replied with regret.

"Vice Commander Wen, your base boasts plenty of elite mercenary squads. Send a couple our way—we'll pay whatever it takes to hire them."

Wen Hanli shook his head at the plea. "It's not unwillingness on our part, but we can't even venture outside our walls. How could we dispatch help?"

"Please, find a way…"

His words trailed off as the line went dead. With signals jammed, contact severed, leaving each base to fend for itself.

Wen Hanli shut his eyes briefly, then strode from his office toward the 4th wall.

There, Xun Che directed the defense. Battle-hardened from countless clashes, Lin'an City Base residents stayed far steadier than those elsewhere.

Perched on the wall, he thrust up his hand. "Load the cannons!"

Guards swiftly charged the artillery, poised for his signal. As Matkuna soldiers crossed into range, Xun Che swept his arm down. "Fire!"

In the very next instant, distant explosions boomed as cannonballs obliterated wave after wave of Matkuna soldiers.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

These cannonballs in the fight were the enhanced versions crafted by Mo Junjie and Du Beiye in their spare time. Owing to their ingenuity, the weapons' destructive force had surged by at least five times.

Though Xun Che had foreseen the cannons' might, the sight of their devastating effectiveness against the alien race still left him stunned.

As guards and mutants beheld countless bugs getting slaughtered, their morale skyrocketed. Panic faded away, and their actions turned far more disciplined.

Guided by Xun Che's orders, they wiped out the initial wave of Matkuna soldiers. Yet when the second wave surged forward, its size tripled that of the scout team.

Meanwhile, fresh hordes of Matkuna soldiers poured in from all sides, striking relentlessly. Overburdened by the vast battlefield, he couldn't oversee it all solo, so he tasked Chen Qianxiao with the north sector, Wen Hanli the east, and Wu Zimo the south.
