Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At first, Du kunsheng said that he would be fine with giving up on the base, as if he didn’t care about the base at all. But then, he continued, “We built this base with quite some efforts though. And now you’re talking about giving up on it. Aren’t you making this decision a little too easily? I won’t give the base up so easily! It’s not the first time we have dealt with a ma.s.sive zombie attack. If we can’t survive it, we’ll talk about giving up at the last second. I’ll be fighting until then.”
Clearly, they didn’t achieve an agreement. Having finished talking, Du Kunsheng stood up and then said to one of his subordinates, “Give my order… If the fence wall breaks, everyone should get into the underground base immediately. The supplies we stored underground can at least last tens of thousands of people for a month.”
Then, he glanced at Gao Haoyun with a grim look before turning and leaving.
What he said had explained his determination clearly: he wouldn’t give up on the base easily. The ma.s.sive zombie attack, zombie kings and queens, or even a zombie emperor, nothing would make him give up until the last second.
That was his base. He needed to be responsible for the lives of the people who lived there. He had spent years of time and a great effort to build the base. He built an underground base because he didn’t want to give up all the base members again like he did years ago.
Gao Haoyun watched him leave expressionlessly.
Du Kunsheng had no idea that the people who died recently had all eaten Mo Yan’s flesh. Gao Haoyun and Meng Yuxuan were the last twoon building and were the highest-leveled among them all.
The a.s.sa.s.sin drove a ma.s.sive zombie crowd to the base because he or she was planning to destroy the entire base, then make it look like a ma.s.sive zombie attack. Therefore, the underground base would be broken at some point. In that case, people might as well leave as early as possible.
The base didn’t own a big number of helicopters. The helicopters could make a few round trips, but couldn’t possibly s.h.i.+p tens of thousands of people away from the base.
“Use the S Plan.” After a few minutes of silence, Gao Haoyun gave his order.
“Yes, sir!” The two vice-leaders responded and then left quickly.
On the other side of the base, Meng Yuxuan was looking at the countless zombies that were crowding under the wall and climbing up restlessly. As every second pa.s.sed, his hope dimmed gradually.
But, he never stopped releasing his power. A part of the fence wall was covered in thriving, green vines. The vines twisted and swung, whipping the zombies off the wall or wringing them into pieces.
At a distance away, three figures scattered as they merged into the zombie crowd and moved swiftly toward Meng Yuxuan. They restrained their vibes so that he didn’t discover them.
Meng Yuxuan was getting a little impatient as he hadn’t received a response from the base.
He was a green-power possessor who could be very powerful in woods or forests. However, no plant existed on the wall, or within a thousand meters around it. Even the area outside that range was mostly occupied by buildings. Therefore, he was now trying very hard to release his power ma.s.sively.
He even wished that he had wind power at that moment. At least, high alt.i.tude could give wind power possessors some advantages.
As Meng Yuxuan was controlling his power to stop the zombies from climbing on top of the wall while waiting for the instructions from the base center, the three figures had approached him without being noticed.
Suddenly, Meng Yuxuan’s heart raced, and his whole body became cold. He felt an extreme danger, the feeling rising along his spine.
He instantly turned around and saw a large number of sharp metal pieces floating in the air. The moment he looked back, those metal pieces suddenly flew at him.
A series of shrill swis.h.i.+ng noise was heard.
Meng Yuxuan popped his eyes and instinctively raised an arm. A wave of vines immediately rose before him and wrapped him up tightly.
Puff! Puff! Puff! The sharp metal pieces pierced into the vines which were growing crazily fast. They broke the leaves, but couldn’t penetrate the thick vines.
Bang! Right at that moment, a scorching hot fireball landed straight on the giant vine coc.o.o.n that Meng Yuxuan had created and caused a thunderous boom.
Yes, to protect herself from those sharp metal pieces, Meng Yuxuan had himself wrapped up in vines and made himself look like a giant vine coc.o.o.n.
The fireball was much hotter than the regular fire. Once it touched the vine coc.o.o.n, the green leaves withered.
As the fire descended, a large number of metal objects quickly rose into the sky as they melted and merged together, turning liquid at last. Next, the molten metal surged and poured itself on Meng Yuxuan’s giant vine coc.o.o.n.
Sizzle… The molten metal wrapped the vine coc.o.o.n entire up and turned it into a huge metal ball once it touched the vines.
Next, an eagle sound was heard. Following the sound, an enormous figure rose into the air from the other side, flipped in the sky, and then swooped down at the metal ball, casting a large shadow.
A giant bird flapped its huge wings and dived. Its strong and sharp claws penetrated the metal ball, then clasped and lifted it up. Carrying the metal ball, it flew straight away!
Boom! Boom! Boom! As the metal ball was lifted by the bird, a series of the gigantic fireb.a.l.l.s were thrown onto the wall.
“Ahhhhh!”
“This is bad! They got Deputy Chief Meng!”
“What is that! Is that a zombie beast or a superpowered man?”
“d.a.m.n! The line of defense is broken! The zombies are coming!”
Without Meng Yuxuan, the line of defense collapsed right away. As the vines had disappeared, countless zombies climbed up and fell into the base, then got up from the ground and rushed at the base center.
Some zombies reached to the wall top, then turned and pounced on the soldiers and superpowered people there.
The gigantic bird had caused some loud noises, so quite some people raised their heads to look at it. It was a huge eagle with a human face. It looked exactly like an eagle, but was larger than regular eagles by tens of times over.
As Gao Haoyun and his people heard the news that Meng Yuxuan was taken, the latter’s dead body had been thrown back into the base.
His mouth was torn from ear to ear, his face covered in blood. A large, bleeding hole was left in his stomach, right under his chest.
He looked like the people who were murdered earlier. The others didn’t even need to check to know that his stomach was missing.
“This is… Deputy Chief Meng! He’s dead!”
The surrounding people were shocked when the very dead Meng Yuxuan was thrown to the ground.
