“God…how are we going to get back?” Fang Hao stared at the field of black heads in front of him, stunned, not knowing what to say.
He Zizhong also stared at the sea of zombies surrounding the tall A city base walls with the same expression.
They just wandered around the city a few more days, so how did the base get surrounded and become what it is now? This appearance resembles that prison base they visited before.
The two looked at each other helplessly – “Do we… go back?”
Or, can we even go back?
He Zizhong stared at the base walls. The current situation is different from when he visited that prison base. Back then, all the zombies contained were below level 3, and only a few were level 3 zombies. But level 4 zombies are the ones leading the siege.
The deeper they snuck into the urban area, the more level 4 zombies they encountered. Although they had a way to deal with them, the premise is there are not too many. Some level 4 zombies are smarter and like to bring several little brothers with them. If those younger brothers are zombies below level 4, they can kill them one at a time and ensure their own safety.
But if it is a spirit zombie with a group of other level 4 zombies with low IQ, they cannot guarantee that they can get out.
But seeing so many level 4 zombies scattered in this sea of zombies…
“…I’m afraid the base’s situation is very dangerous this time.” He Zizhong frowned and looked at the wall with a sigh. That tall wall had already blocked two waves of zombies, and now…
Fang Hao bit his lip and looked at He Zizhong with complicated eyes. “We…” Should we go back? Even if they rush back to the base, they may not be able to keep it.
“If we don’t go back, the base will be broken…” He Zizhong sighed lightly and glanced around. “It’s not impossible to go back.”
Fang Hao suddenly smiled. “Then let’s go back, our space is still waiting to be upgraded.” Before they left the urban area, the fog in the space had already thickened to a certain extent. They transferred a lot of food and materials into the jade pendant space, and were prepared for the wait. After returning to the base, they planned to upgrade the space and rest a few more days. Who would have thought that this situation would happen?
He knew that He Zizhong was actually not as unsociable and hard-hearted as he looked on the outside. Although he didn’t like communicating with people at ordinary times, once they got to know each other, he and Guo Bing and the others could still talk very well.
Fang Hao knows that even if the two of them go back this time, they may not be able to hold on to the base. But if they don’t go back, when they come out of the space again and find the base destroyed and no human beings left in the world, He Zizhong will definitely regret it. Even if he doesn’t say it, he can understand it.
“Let’s fight. If the base is broken after trying our best, we have nothing to complain about.”
A glimmer of light flashed in He Zizhong’s eyes. At this time, even he himself couldn’t tell how he felt, but he knew that in this world, Fang Hao is the person who knows him best.
Raising his arms around Fang Hao’s waist, He Zizhong used his wind ability to wrap both of them. Although he could not block the other people’s breath right when he rose to level 4, after spending time at this level and practicing, the variety of uses for his abilities and flexibility in using them has increased. It’s now possible to help block the breath of those close to him.
“Be careful, we’re going to fly.”
“Okay!”
He Zizhong still couldn’t fly with his ability – not to mention he was even holding another person?
But the two people wrapped in the blue wind can glide in the air!
Holding his person in his arms, he jumped up powerfully. He Zizhong stepped on the head of a flying zombie, and used the gliding effect created with his wind abilities”fly forward”!!
“Look, what is that?!”
“A new wind zombie?”
“No, it’s a person holding a… God, this can’t be…”
“Human! It’s a person!!”
The people who was defending against the eastern fence in the direction of the city boiled over and rushed over after hearing the sound. One of them picked up binoculars and glanced at them and immediately waved: “Don’t attack! Our own people!!”
“It’s He Zizhong and Fang Hao! Our team’s!”
“It’s those level 4 ability users!”
There was a huge uproar on the wall, as everyone focused their attention on the pair. The two seldom appeared in front of new members since returning to the base and “that team” was established. They only came back every one or two months, and whenever they do, they will also bring a large number of crystal cores to help meet the team’s monthly crystal nuclei collection task.
Unlike most of the crystal nuclei paid by others, which are mainly first-level crystal nuclei, the minimum crystal nuclei they collected were level 2, and most were even level 3.
The news that there were level 4 zombies in the urban area, and the difficulty fighting them, was also gleaned from this pair.
This time the tide of zombies is fiercer than before. Everyone was surprised, and immediately prepared themselves for the last battle. The timing of their strongest ability users’ return was timed well, and gave everyone a powerful boost.
When He Zizhong landed on the wall hugging Fang Hao, there was a burst of cheers from the wall, which caught them off guard for a while.
Hearing the news, Chen Ning, who happened to be on duty, squeezed over. “Go, go to headquarters first. Yan Xin and the others are studying defensive warfare.” He Zizhong and Fang Hao obviously came from the city and should know more about the situation.
The two didn’t say much and nodded. Each activated his own abilities and jumped down from the wall like lightning – with their speed ability and wind ability, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
—–
“…There is still a steady stream of zombies gathering from the urban area. Before we returned we saw a lot of fourth-level zombies. They were all on the edges of the zombie tide, and they were not mixed in with the rest.” After explaining what they saw, they sat down and retrieved a water bottle from their bag to rehydrate.
Yan Xin frowned. There was a simple sand table in front of him, with the base in the center, surrounded by ruins that were almost the same as the outside. This was his professional habit from being a soldier, and he would use sand tables to analyze tactical strategy whenever possible. Fortunately, with the assistance of earth abilities, it was very easy to do.
“The number of zombies surrounding the base this time is more than double the number I saw last time at SH prison base. There are at least two or three million zombies surrounding the base.” Yin Dong pushed his glasses and looked up at He Zizhong, “Can you use the method of the last time to temporarily lure the zombies away?”
He Zizhong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. “I’m afraid it won’t help much, this time the zombies are led by fourth-level zombies. We have encountered some fourth-level zombies in the urban area. If these low-level zombies are really controlled by them, they won’t be so easily lured away.”
“Temporarily then?” Yin Dong rubbed the thumb, index, and middle fingers of his right hand subconsciously. “Now they are all facing the base. If they can turn around and leave, while it is troublesome, we can seize the opportunity to launch a strong counterattack.”
He Zizhong thought for a while before responding. “We can try, but I can’t guarantee the effect.”
Yan Xin spoke up. “Immediately start collecting blood, and let the healers act together.” After speaking, he stood up. “Start the experiment outside the east gate. You don’t need to diver their attention too much. Even if it’s tossed in the middle, it doesn’t matter. It’s just to fight for a period of time.”
“If this is the case, it is not even necessary to let He Zizhong leave the base. As long as we find a person with a power ability to throw the blood bag in a designated direction, it will play a restraining role.” A layer of white light reflected Yin Dong’s glasses.
Yan Xin thought about it again and looked at He Zizhong. “Although this method is also possible, let’s experiment and see what range those fourth-level zombies can control up to.”
After several surrounding walls were almost in danger due to the mix of level 2, 3, and 4 zombies, Yan Xin quickly over as the actual commander of the base.
This zombie siege outside is not like the previous two times. No walls lack zombies outside. Under the command of level 4 zombies, a large group of zombies are outside each of the four gates, surrounding the entire base without miss.
More than once, high-level earth zombies have emerged from the ground and caused problems. Fortunately, everyone encountered this situation in the previous zombie siege. Now most of the ground in the base is covered with steel plates to prevent being attacked by zombies coming out of the ground.
He Zizhong took some things and climbed up the eastern wall again, and went out to perform the task. Although Fang Hao was worried, he still waited honestly on the fence, while sending Tuanzi to spy on He Zizhong’s situation from midair.
After discovering that there are many level 4 zombies present, Tuanzi’s excitement and bottomless appetite reemerged. Fortunately, although it is greedy, it is not ignorant. It is now floating in the air, helping mama “watch” papa!
He Zizhong reached the designated position and dropped the blood plasma and the time bomb, then turned around in the of the base. The wind roared beside him, and a level-4 speed zombie that was not confused rushed towards him like lightning!
He Zizhong’s figure disappeared for a moment out of thin air, and then flashed out again! He turned around and jumped, stepping on the head of a zombie and sprinted towards the wall. This coping method was trained after dealing with a very difficult level 4 speed zombie in the urban area.
The level 4 zombie who was still chasing behind felt something slash the back of its head, but didn’t care. As long as it can eat this person, it will recover quickly. Even if it couldn’t eat this guy, after 2 days the wound will heal itself…
The idea just wandered in it mind, but before it could catch up with the food in front, it suddenly fell to the ground and couldn’t get up again.
Tuanzi swayed around excitedly, sucking the crystal nucleus from the head of the zombie whose head was shattered by He Zizhong’s mixed wind and gold ability, and had a great time.
He Zizhong headed straight back. During the few months training in the urban area, his use of gold abilities became more unpredictable. Before, he had to use weapons as a medium to attack the enemy, but now he can control the wind and gold together to perform craniotomy on the zombies without a weapon. Anyway, with Tuanzi, if he just opens their heads, Tuanzi will eat them slowly.
Running all the way back to the fence, the bomb behind exploded and blood burst out. All zombies smelled it!!
“The effect is not good.” Yin Dong held the binoculars and watched with a pity that only the nearest zombies made a small commotion, and then returned to the great cause of besieging the wall.
He Zizhong had already jumped up the wall along a rope that had been dropped, and turned around with a sigh of relief to look back.
Fang Hao hurriedly ran to him, carefully checked whether he was injured, and put his fingertips into his cuff to help him check.
“It still has a certain effect. It can affect the zombies within a radius of ten meters until the blood is completely stepped into the mud.” Yan Xin was already satisfied with this, turning his head to look behind, “According to the predetermined plan, start the defensive counterattack!”
The defensive counterattack began. Using the bloodthirsty characteristics of zombies, they traps that not only disrupted the zombies, but also found ways to directly kill the zombies who come together.
But, in the end, it’s only a small tactic.
Zombies in the city continued to surround the base. One wave was eliminated, and another wave began. The continued battle was extremely difficult…
—–
One city after another, large and small bases formed by human survivors, were besieged by zombies, as if all zombies received unified orders at the same time.
A small figure lay on the body of a huge zombie composed of countless zombie limbs. If one didn’t look carefully, the small figure would be hidden amongst the many limbs, and ignored.
With a loud bang, the city wall in front of it collapsed.
The small body raised its head and made a silent roar towards the sky with its wide mouth. At the same time, all the zombies nearby stopped their movements, raised their arms and screamed into the sky. After the roaring stopped, they walked towards the base not far away.
The second one…
Some of the zombies left behind bent over to pick up the crystal nuclei in the brains of the dead compatriots, collected them together, and respectfully piled them in front of the huge zombie carrying the small one. After a while, screams were heard from the base, and two people covered in blood were sent to the kid after their hands and feet were cut off by the zombies.
It still likes to eat human flesh, but unfortunately these people are now hiding in small spaces and refuse to come out. Luckily there were still those shiny nuclei to fill it’s belly, though the tainted taste wasn’t to his liking.
Jumping down from the huge zombie, the little zombie bit into the flesh of the two humans.
As the little zombie ate, the zombies stood to the side silently like stone sculptures. After it was full, they started to act again – under its signal, they ate the remaining human stumps and crystal cores on the ground!!
The little zombie jumped back onto the “head” of the huge zombie, raised its head, and its two dark eyes “looked” to the north – there is a very attractive smell in that direction, and the food there must be delicious and abundant.
After that food left, it took this road. Although the smell was very weak, in this world where the air was almost stagnant, the taste seemed to be like a beacon guiding the way, attracting it…
Now, it has been nearly three full months since the zombies besieged various bases.
The last chapters are extra long, so expect at least 5 releases coming up.
