Chapter 746: Behind The Ma.s.sive Zombie Attack
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Qiao restrained her vibe and led Qiu Lili, Lu Tianyi, Shen Yujen, Jingyan and the other zombies to take a detour toward another direction, in order to lower the probability of running into Wu Chengyue.
Wu Chengyue and his people were in the outer area of the forest near West Lake while Lin Qiao and her zombies had gone through the forest and entered the inner area of the park, which was also the lakeside.
West Lake was a large lake. Quite some creatures lived in the lake before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, ninety-nine percent of all water sources in the world was infected. The rest one percent was hiding somewhere in a corner of the world that hadn’t been found yet.
The entire West Lake was infected as well, and the creatures in the lake were no longer the same as before. If the mutated animals in forests scared people, the mutated creatures in the water were even more mysterious and dangerous.
Lin Qiao and her zombies didn’t know what they might run into, but in the Northeast, things in Heilong Base weren’t going well for sure.
The a.s.sa.s.sination had stopped, but a ma.s.sive zombie attack had started.
The fence wall that was over ten meters tall could not stop those crazy zombies from stepping on each other and climbing up.
“Roarrrr!”
“Roarrrr!”
Waves of zombie roars could be heard from the other side of the wall. Countless zombies were climbing onto the wall, looking like ants that were trying to build towers with their bodies. Superpowered people and soldiers from Heilong Base were standing on top of the wall, constantly attacking those zombies to stop them from reaching the top.
The soldiers who didn’t have superpowers never stopped shooting. Some bullets. .h.i.t zombie heads, and some hit nothing.
“We mustn’t let these zombies get across the wall! Guard the wall tightly!” Meng Yuxuan the Deputy Chief was leading at the front line. As he raised an arm, a wave of green vines grew out from under his feet, growing taller and larger speedily while reaching down along the wall and bringing down all the zombies that were climbing up.
He was only able to guard one side of the wall. Five hundred meters around him, no zombie could pa.s.s that area. But outside that range, there were more zombies that needed to be stopped
From the wall top, people could see the zombie crowd extending to a thousand meters away from the wall. All those zombies were crowding toward their base.
With one single glance, people could see tens of thousands of zombies that would make their scalp numb. Those ordinary zombies were supposed to be slow, but at this moment, they were all strangely energetic. They bared their teeth and reached out their claws while rus.h.i.+ng quickly to the wall, then climbing up with all fours.
Gradually, the zombies came faster and faster, and the superpowered people on top of the wall couldn’t manage to stop them all. The ordinary soldiers were doing even worse. They could shoot quickly, but their bullets would run out at some point.
Meng Yuxuan was so anxious that he had sweat streaming down his head. While paying attention to the overall situation, he also needed to release his power as much as possible to stop the zombies from coming into the base.
Hurriedly, he dragged over a man and yelled at him, “Go, go and tell the others that there’re too many zombies out there! These average superpowered people can’t possibly keep them outside. We need to use the S Plan.”
“Yes, sir!” That man responded immediately, then turned and went down the wall, rus.h.i.+ng toward the base center.
In the headquarters at the center of the base, Gao Haoyun, Du Kunsheng, and the other two vice-leaders were looking at a base map. Everyone on the scene was wearing a depressed look.
After hearing the report, Du Kunsheng agreed without hesitation, “I agree to use the S Plan!”
Gao Haoyun stayed silent with a sullen face as he fixed his eyes on the map. No one knew what he was thinking.
“I agree too! Chief, give the order, or it’s gonna be too late!” Another vice-leader nodded and said.
“Are you sure? These are the strongest weapons we have. We’ll have nothing when they are used up, yet the zombie crowd can be endless. If we use the last weapons we have but fail to destroy the entire zombie crowd, our only choice will be to give up on all the base members,” said Gao Haoyun in a grim tone.
Hearing him, the others looked at each other.
“You and I are still here, aren’t we? Can’t the two of us stop those zombies?” Du Kunsheng didn’t take his words seriously.
“The two of us?” Gao Haoyun glanced at him and said, “You, Meng Yuxuan, and I can each take one side, and the last side can be guarded by weapons. But, can you say for sure that your superpower won’t run out in three whole days?”
“Three days? The zombie attack won’t last three days, will it?” Du Kunsheng pressed his lips together and said.
“If it were a natural ma.s.sive zombie attack, we wouldn’t know how long it might last. It might be a day, or half a month. However, this is not a natural zombie attack. It was triggered on purpose. Do you think whoever started it will dismiss those zombies in a couple of days,” Gao Haoyun raised his head and looked at Du Kunsheng with cold eyes.
“What should we do them? Tell us!” Du Kunsheng spread his hands and said straightforwardly.
The ma.s.sive zombie attack started before the a.s.sa.s.sination ended. Therefore, Gao Haoyun had to connect those two things. However, he couldn’t figure out how the enemy started the ma.s.sive zombie attack. He hadn’t even grasped a trace of that mysterious enemy yet.
He guessed that the mysterious person might have some kind of tools that were highly attractive to zombies. He believed that was how he or she started the ma.s.sive zombie attack.
He couldn’t have imagined that the mysterious being had nothing to attract zombies. Instead, he started the zombie attack by easily giving an order to the group of zombie dominators under his command.
He knitted his brows. It wasn’t the zombie attack that concerned him. Instead, what made him worry was the zombie dominator that attacked him and then disappeared.
He thought about that zombie dominator all the time. It made him feel like being targeted. However, that zombie dominator showed up suddenly and disappeared quickly, not seeming to want a long fight with him.
He wasn’t afraid of any zombie dominator, but couldn’t ignore the weird behavior of that one.
The slayer who only killed people who had eaten Mo Yan’s flesh, the weird zombie dominator, and the ma.s.sive zombie attack… Connecting those three factors, Gao Haoyun felt that things weren’t as simple as they looked like.
“We need to prepare ourselves. We might have to face a few level-six, or even level-seven zombies after the ma.s.sive zombie attack. If that really happens, how long do you think we and those weapons can last?” Gao Haoyun said. He seemed ready to give up on all the survivors in the base at any time.
“Are you saying that we should give up on all the survivors in our base? In that case, I’m fine with it. Do what you want,” Du Kunsheng figured out his meaning as he said carelessly while crossing his arms and leaning against the back of his chair.
