Those who had been lying motionless got back up and continued fighting, while those exhausted from battle dropped to the ground to rest. The cycle repeated endlessly, and the Gear Strangler battle never stopped turning.
As for the remaining thousand people, they were responsible for replacements. If anyone was injured or an emergency arose, they would be deployed.
However...
By now, they had fought for an entire day and night. Nearly thirty thousand high-level zombies had been slaughtered, and the corpses on the ground were piled up to the point of nearly overflowing, yet not a single casualty had occurred.
This spectacular battle, this perfect suppression of the zombies that had everyone fired up, was due not only to the strength of the Feather Slayer Squad, who had fought nonstop for an entire day and night, but also to the Wolf Fang Shooting Team.
Perhaps they had truly been idle for too long beforehand, so idle that they had begun to doubt their own value. The moment they entered the Gear Battle, they unleashed full firepower, as if risking their lives to prove the Shooting Team's purpose.
The instant a high-level zombie was spotted, the Shooting Team immediately blew its head off with a single shot. The team also had clear divisions of responsibility, and although they remained within separate small circles, they cooperated with an uncanny tacit understanding.
Which ranks of zombies belonged to whom, how to cripple a high-level zombie they could not defeat and lure it toward their comrades—every detail was carefully planned. Not to mention Chen Shaoye, God's Sniper, who controlled the entire battlefield.
Not a single zombie had the chance to lay a hand on a human. Being a zombie was far too miserable!
In short, do not try to challenge the Wolf Fang Regiment
