The most appropriate antonym of the word overrun is surrender.
- Overrun means "to spread over or occupy (a place) in large numbers."
- Surrender means "to give oneself up to the power of another; yield."
The other words do not have the same meaning as overrun, so they are not its antonyms.
- Inundate means "to flood or cover with water."
- Storm means "to attack or invade (a place) with violence."
- Invade means "to enter (a country, region, or place) with an armed force, especially with the intention of conquest."
