Chapter 496 With Young Master Aye here, we can definitely win!

Lu Nange and Shi Xu were focused on assisting with the repair work, and neither of them released their spiritual energy.

Suddenly, Lu Nange felt a blur before her eyes, and the scenery around the Flameheart Base came into view.

"Chirp chirp chirp..." The vines gently wrapped around her wrist.

[The master... is Zhizhi's visual sharing.]

Through the shared vision of the branches, Lu Nange "saw" scenes from all directions—vehicles were approaching the Flameheart Base from all directions and in all areas.

These vehicles come in all shapes and sizes, including modified off-road vehicles, dilapidated pickup trucks, and even a motorcycle convoy. They move at extremely high speeds, like moths swarming towards the lights in the night.

"...There are many, many vehicles approaching our base."

Chi Yanzhou, Lu Xici, Gu Qi... the group almost simultaneously stopped what they were doing and quickly walked towards Lu Nange.

Shi Xu immediately unleashed his full mental power, and an invisible sensory network instantly covered an area of ​​several kilometers around him...

Lu Nange picked up the walkie-talkie: "Attention all guards on the watchtower, immediately check all directions for any approaching vehicles!"

Upon hearing Lu Nange's instruction, the patrol members on the gate tower immediately raised their binoculars and looked around.

Urgent reports soon came through the walkie-talkie.

"Report! A convoy is approaching at the location of guard post number 7!"

"Report: A convoy is approaching at the location of guard post number 5! We can't see the exact number!"

"A convoy has also been spotted at guard post number 3!"

"Watchtower No. 6..."

......

As Grandpa Chi and his entourage walked from the back of the base toward the main gate, preparing to take the children home, they all stopped in their tracks upon hearing the voice on the walkie-talkie.

Aunt Gu: "Who exactly is this force? One wave after another, it never seems to end!"

Shi's mother said worriedly, "The children took Panshi... Could it be people from the Longteng base?"

Mother He shook her head: "With a creature that's half-beast and half-zombie, it shouldn't be Long Teng... I think it might be the darkest place under the lamp, one of those forces hiding in the shadows."

Grandpa Chi: "Let's go check the entrance first!"

Just as the elders quickened their pace, Shi Xu suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Those who have come are all superhumans! The energy fluctuations are very chaotic, but their numbers are astonishing."

"The elderly and children should return to base first. The rest of you, prepare for battle." Lu Nange's voice clearly echoed throughout the Flameheart through the walkie-talkie.

"Received!" A unified response rang out from all parts of the Flameheart Base.

The Flameheart ability users who were resting behind the gate instantly went into battle mode.

Some people immediately put down their water glasses, others grabbed the weapons they had just unloaded, and everyone's eyes warily turned towards the door...

Lu Nange: "Zhuo-ge, Xian-ge, you two take the earth elementalists and continue repairing the road surface, speed things up... the rest of you, follow me to the city wall!"

He Zhuo and Ji Xian said in unison, "Okay, Mei Bao/Nan Nan!"

He Zhuo wiped his sweat and shouted to the earth-elemental ability users, "Brothers, give it your all! The sooner we finish, the sooner we can deal with those uninvited guests!"

......

Lu Nange took Lu Beiye's hand and walked quickly toward the sentry post.

The little one held his sister's hand tightly, and although he was still young, his eyes showed a determination beyond his years.

Chi Yanzhou, Lu Xici, Shi Xu, Gu Qi, Gu Wan, Luo Xingyou, Chi Yi, and others followed in turn.

Wen Qing, who was busy treating a healing-type ability user, looked up and shouted to Lu Nange and her group, "Watch out!"

Lu Nange and the others nodded in acknowledgment and quickly climbed onto the watchtower.

When their gaze passed over the city wall and they could see the distant view clearly, everyone's expression became extremely solemn...

Around the Flame Core, countless car lights twinkled like stars in the night.

These countless points of light surged in from all directions, their scale far exceeding that of the battle just now.

"This scale..." Gu Wan murmured to herself, her voice filled with disbelief, "It's more than ten times larger than before, isn't it?"

Gu Qi narrowed his eyes: "It seems someone doesn't want us to catch our breath."

"Chi Yi, notify all injured ability users to evacuate immediately. Those remaining who can fight, take up the highest point!" Chi Yanzhou gripped the walkie-talkie. "He Zhuo, Ji Xian, return to the team immediately!"

"receive!"

Once the order was given, the Flameheart Base began operating rapidly, like a sophisticated machine.

The Flameheart ability users who were still able to fight, as well as the ordinary survivors who could use weapons, rushed to the nearest defensive steps without hesitation after receiving the order.

The sound of footsteps blended into a firm rhythm in the night.

"Hu Yuan, you coward, you're here too?" A middle-aged man wearing glasses shouted as he ran.

Hu Yuan, panting, glared at him: "Li Wenhai, shut your stinking mouth! You coward, didn't you also say you'd just live your own little corner of the world?"

"Bullshit! Yanxin is my home. If I lose my home, what land do I have left?"

"I'll argue with you after I win!"

"Rare indeed!"

The two argued verbally, but ran side by side...

......

The injured companions retreated in an orderly manner with the help of the elderly and children.

An elderly woman grabbed the injured superhuman who was about to run up the steps and gently patted the back of his hand with her calloused hands.

"Child, don't rush. You need to heal your injuries first... Only when you've recovered can you help more effectively."

Another old man next to him nodded in agreement: "Yes, with the Twelve Fiends around, our base won't fall!"

Let's retreat a bit, so as not to delay your battle! If things really get critical, we old guys will stand in front of you youngsters.

"Yes, let's do what we can and trust Captain Chi and Miss Lu!" A middle-aged woman said as she deftly bandaged the wounds of the injured.

Just then, a little boy who looked only eight or nine years old looked up and said confidently, "With Young Master A-Ye here, we can definitely win!"

The slightly older girl beside him immediately chimed in, "That's right! Young Master Aye is a Level 6 Metal-type Ability User, and Miss Lu, Captain Chi... they're all high-level Ability Users too. Our base will definitely be invincible!"

The children's innocent yet unwavering beliefs flowed like a warm current through everyone's hearts.

A soldier, whose wound was being bandaged, looked up: "That's right, our base will be invincible!"

Grandpa Chi and his entourage arrived just then.

Looking at the orderly scene before him, filled with shouts of "Invincible!", Old Master Chi turned his head and said, "You few assist with the evacuation; we two old men will go check things out up ahead!"

Aunt Gu, Mother Shi, Mother He, Ji Huan... all nodded immediately and quickly got to work organizing the evacuation.

Grandpa Chi and Grandpa Shi continued walking towards the gate.

The two elderly people looked at the Flameheart survivors climbing higher, their wrinkled faces showing relief and pride.

Although the survivors were exhausted from the fierce battle, an indomitable flame burned in their eyes.

They want to prove to everyone through their actions that this place is not a pushover that anyone can take advantage of!

As He Zhuo and his group strode through the gate, they saw that the ground, which had been ravaged just moments before, was now completely smooth, showing no signs of the great battle that had just taken place.

Chi Yanzhou looked around to make sure everyone was in place: "Close the door!"

The heavy door slammed shut with a deafening roar.

The sound was like a war drum, announcing that Flameheart was ready to face the next battle.

On the city walls, every survivor gripped their weapon tightly, and every superhuman gathered their power in their palm...

Beneath the city walls, the logistics personnel stood ready, and the elderly and children evacuated in an orderly fashion. The youngest child was held tightly in his mother's arms, neither crying nor fussing...

At this moment, the entire Flameheart was united, awaiting the coming storm.
