Chapter 356: The Battle of Istanbul

The zombie army has already arrived under the city of Istanbul, but all the zombies are like well-trained soldiers, lined up in a neat queue, lined up outside Istanbul, and did not attack.

Istanbul is an ancient city with a very long history, founded in 658 BC at the eastern tip of the Balkan Peninsula and on the western shore of the southern mouth of the Bosphorus, on a headland between the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara, then known as Byzantium.

In 324 AD, Constantine the Great of the Roman Empire moved the capital from Rome here, renamed Constantinople, and became the capital of the Ottoman Empire in 1453, customarily called Istanbul, but Western countries believed that the Ottoman Empire was the invader here, so they still insisted on calling this place Constantinople.

It was not until 1923, when the Republic of Turkey was first established, that the name "Istanbul" became the official international name.

And now, Turkey has long been history, as for the end of the world, there is no way to know whether there are humans living here, anyway, the current Istanbul is being transformed by the gods and heavens at a very fast speed, and is developing in the direction of a military fortress.

Most of the ancient buildings in the city have collapsed, and even the few that have survived have been continuously destroyed by the destruction of various construction machinery in the heavens of the gods.

Houses in typical Turkish style were pushed away, the ruins were quickly cleared, and after the land was leveled, new military camps full of futuristic sci-fi style were built.

On the western shore of the Bosphorus, a towering steel wall stood along the shoreline, and a soldier of the gods and goddesses stood motionless on top of the wall, heavily armed.

And on the other side of the strait, the zombie army is also motionless, facing the army of the gods and heavens across the sea.

The reason why the zombie army did not attack was because of the Bosphorus Strait, which is 30.4 kilometers long, 3.6 kilometers wide at its widest point, 708 meters at its narrowest point, 120 meters at its deepest point, and only 27.5 meters at its shallowest point.

From the map, it is a very narrow waterway, but in fact the water is very wide, and for the zombies who are afraid of water, it is almost like a moat in front of them, making it impossible for them to move forward in the slightest.

The zombie army never attacked, but the gods and heavens did not dare to relax their vigilance, and a large area of land behind the city wall was cleared, either stacking supplies, or setting up various weapons to defend the city, very busy.

Looking at the weapons and equipment of the gods and heavens, the equipment of the Chinese army is not at all a grade compared to them, even if there is no huge difference between cold weapons and hot weapons, at least there is a gap between the bolt rifle and the automatic rifle.

Among the many busy figures, Leon finally saw an old acquaintance - Zeus.

The appearance of Zeus is not surprising, the gods Heaven has so far, and only Zeus, one of the doppelgangers of the gods, has reached the eighth level on the surface, as for those divine envoys, they have not appeared for a long time, and Leon even wondered if they were all cold.

And that mysterious humanoid hasn't appeared since the battle with the Poseidon Dragon, so I really don't know what the hell they're up to.

Just when Li Ang was thinking wildly, the zombies in the middle suddenly turned sideways to make way for a road, and a zombie wearing a white military uniform slowly walked to the front of the zombie army with steady steps, looking at the steel city wall across the strait from a distance.

The uniformed zombie paused for a moment and then continued to move forward, heading straight into the strait, without any intention of stopping, and the other zombies followed it.

At first, it was nothing, but when it gradually approached the sea, the originally silent zombie army gradually appeared a little commotion, and some of the zombies who walked in front of them let out an uneasy roar in the face of the clear blue water.

"Rubbish!" The zombie in military uniform scolded coldly, but continued to walk forward without stopping.

However, as soon as it stepped into the water, the blue water suddenly flashed white, and the white color quickly spread out in all directions.

The water, which had been a little choppy, suddenly quieted down and turned into a thick ice.

It turned out that this zombie in a white military uniform actually had the ability of ice, and in a short period of time, the wide Bosphorus Strait turned into a world of ice, and the water surface was completely frozen.

Ice paves the way, and the attack of the zombie army has officially begun!

No orders, no mobilization, no fear, no panic, the soldiers of the gods and heavens launched a counterattack in an orderly manner.

One after another, the cannonballs smashed down on the white ice with a sharp whistling sound, blowing up a large number of zombies and blowing up a huge hole in the ice, and the icy sea water sprayed out in an instant.

The zombie in military uniform stood in the middle of the sea, a pair of cold, emotionless blue eyes watching everything in the battlefield, under its gaze, the destroyed ice surface would be the first to re-form a thick ice.

As time went on, it became colder and colder, and it was the hottest afternoon of summer, but the cold wind was howling over the Bosphorus, dark clouds were rolling, and it was snowing in a short time.

The snow became heavier and heavier, from a thin layer like mist at the beginning, to now the snowflakes were in a ball and fell like piles of cotton, but in five minutes, the heavens and the earth had been ruled by white.

The dense artillery fire and gunfire of the gods and heavens were sparse under the cover of heavy snow, and even the most well-trained soldiers were a little helpless in such weather, let alone aiming at the enemy in the distance, and even the front end of the weapon in his hand could not be seen clearly.

The automatic guns in the heavens of the gods are almost completely muted, and the weapon systems that rely on AI to independently choose to lock on to the enemy are now unable to find the enemy at all, and under the chaos of universities, whether it is an ordinary imaging system or an infrared system, all of them are out of order.

Although the zombies can't see where the gods and heaven's army are, this does not prevent them from continuing to attack, compared to the eyes, the zombies' noses are more sensitive, and they rely more on the information obtained by the sense of smell.

When a black-brown withered palm suddenly stretched out from the white snowball, a terrible scream kicked off the real prelude to the battle.

Before you know it, the zombie army has silently climbed the steel walls of the heavens of the gods.

Rumble! Rolling thunder resounded all over the world, at this moment, the weather is completely chaotic, how can there be goose feathers and heavy snow in the summer, and where there is snow and thunder.

The rumbling of thunder was naturally the handiwork of Zeus, and lightning raged in the dark clouds, like huge thunder snakes, constantly writhing, flicking powerful tails, and scattering pieces of dark clouds.

The zombies in military uniforms naturally did not let Zeus be satisfied, the blue light in a pair of cold eyes continued to flicker, and the scattered dark clouds quickly coalesced, continuing to pour large clouds of snowflakes on the earth.

"Look for death!" Zeus was extremely angry, the thunder no longer stirred the dark clouds, and there was always a sense of aggrieved that the dark clouds were hit with thunder and lightning, so he simply changed the target and pointed directly at the enemy chieftain.

For the existence of the eighth level, the obstruction of the line of sight did not affect their perception, a thunderbolt penetrated the heavens and the earth, the thunder light was scattered, the thunder net was dense, and a large number of zombies instantly emitted a burst of scorching smell, slowly falling down with black smoke, and the ice under their feet was also full of cracks.

However, the zombie in military uniform was no longer in place, but appeared in the sky, looking at Zeus with a cold face.

With a wave of his hand, thousands of snowflakes were like well-trained soldiers, instantly condensing into sharp ice spikes, whistling and shooting towards Zeus.

"You stupid trash, die!" Zeus's face was twisted, and he had a deep hatred for zombies, and as he quickly rushed towards the zombies in military uniform, a dragon composed of thunder and light roared out of his body, and his two claws continued to wave, smashing sharp ice spikes into ice chips in the sky.

Under the full attack of Zeus, the zombies in military uniforms also had to spend most of their energy to deal with Zeus's attack, the snow white that ruled the heavens and the earth was somewhat reduced, and the artillery fire of the gods and heavens gradually became noisy again.

Li Ang hid in the clouds in the distance to watch the play, and had no intention of making a move at all, at least not now, let them fight first, judging from the series of actions of the gods and heavens, they were obviously ready for a protracted battle.

At a glance, the zombie army is even denser, occupying almost half of Turkey.

The battle on the city wall is in full swing, and the base in the rear has not stopped the pace of construction, not only that, but there are also a large number of convoys coming here from the direction of Europe, bringing a large number of supplies and soldiers, and the gods and goddesses are obviously determined to keep the zombie army out of Istanbul.

The scorching heat of the battle began to move in favor of the side of the gods and heavens as the firepower of twenty gigantic battle ships poured down.

The huge battle ship was like a fortress in the air, spilling one barrage after another, and countless zombies were blown to pieces and bombarded into pieces of dust.

However, zombies are not vegetarians, and there is a dense sound of wings flapping in the distant sky, and the crackling sound of countless wing membranes cutting through the air makes people's scalps tingle and uncomfortable.

A large group of flying zombies were like dark clouds floating in the sky, and soon they completely enveloped the combat spaceships, the cannon roared, the roar continued, and the flying zombies were ruthlessly shot down, and some were even directly torn into pieces by the terrible artillery fire.

The losses were heavy in a short period of time, but the flying zombie hordes were not here to send heads, and the large sacrifices were not meaningless, and the sturdy outer armor of the battle ship was finally torn open after countless attacks.
