Chapter 402: Defending the City

As they talked, they followed their team leader and walked towards the ice wall. Chen Xiang, who was left behind, asked with his team members, "Base Commander, where are our team members going?"

"You will be divided into four teams based on the strength of your superpowers, and go to four outposts to help the soldiers prevent zombie superpower attacks."

"Yes." Chen Xing quickly assigned the members of his team and thought about leaving in different directions.

As soon as Lu Weiyi finished speaking, Ning Yuan's voice came from the intercom, "Base Commander, the people coming are from the Menghu team. I accidentally killed Menghu. The remaining people are willing to help us resist the zombies. Should I let them join us, or kill them directly?"

"Let them guard the front line, and let them go if they survive." As he spoke, the psychics below had already come into close contact with the pursuing zombies.

On the low city walls, all kinds of supernatural powers were flying around, artillery fire was constantly heard in the distance, zombies kept falling down, and more zombies kept moving forward on the corpses of their companions.

It seemed like they had encountered an early zombie siege.

The rocket launcher occasionally dealt with the zombies coming from the front, but zombies still continued to come from time to time. Before long, night fell and the scene in the distance could no longer be seen.

Lu Weiyi could only extend his mental power thread to keep an eye on the movements and numbers of the zombies in front of him.

"Xiao Yi? What's the situation?" Zhuang Mingxu's voice came in a muffled voice. Lu Weiyi turned around and saw that he was wrapped from head to toe. If it weren't for the voice, he would not be able to identify who he was.

"There are still zombies coming. I can't handle it. It's too cold. You should go back."

"It's okay. The ordinary soldiers in the base are also holding on. I've been training for the past few months and am no worse than them," said Zhuang Mingxu. He took a telescope from the side and took a look. Only crowds of people could be seen a hundred meters away, and it was pitch black in the distance.

"The darkness is not very friendly to us." Zombies rely on smell and sound to determine directions, while most psychics rely on their eyes.

"I have trained them in advance to use their special powers in various parts of the body. I don't know how they will hold up." At the moment of life and death, Lu Weiyi would not hide this private matter, but not everyone has the spirit of the only team member who is so focused on training and studying until death.

"Xu Yidian, there are injured psychics down there. You go down and help. Speed ​​up the expulsion of the zombie energy from their bodies." Lu Weiyi glanced at the available psychics behind him and called out their names, "Li Dongsheng and Wu Yue. Each of you protect one. We must not let anything happen to them."

The four were transported under the ice wall. Lu Weiyi used the walkie-talkie to notify the leaders of each team and asked them to transport the injured team members to the rear.

"Are there enough spare crystal cores? The people below need to replenish the crystal cores," Lu Weiyi asked Zhuang Mingxu, quickly throwing away the small green branch and storing the zombie crystal cores that were piled up into the space.

"If so many psychics rely on us alone, they won't be able to support four wheels," said Zhuang Mingxu, adjusting the telescope in his hand continuously. "I've told them before that in an emergency, they should use their own crystal cores to make up for it, and then we'll add a certain number of purified crystal cores based on their ability levels. They all agreed."

"And there are still zombies coming?"

"Yes, I don't know what the situation is in the rear." Seeing that we have been holding on for nearly two hours, we don't know when the zombies will end. If we continue like this, we don't know if the crystal cores stored by each team will be enough.

Lu Weiyi thought so and glanced sideways at Zhuang Mingxu, who was observing the situation below.

"Can you see it?" Lu Weiyi was surprised.

"A telescope and night vision goggles will be fine within a certain range." Zhuang Mingxu looked at his eyebrows and hesitated, "Do you want to go down and help?"

"Um"

"It's not the time yet. Let those who can't hold on be replaced with the people from Chen Xiang's team. When most of them have reached their limit, you can take action," said Zhuang Mingxu as he changed the channel on the intercom.

"Bai Miao, received the reply."

"Got it, Brother Mingxu, what do you need me to do?"

"Lead the team to cook some ginger sugar water, which is thicker, and some easy-to-eat food, and have someone deliver it directly to the rest area at the rear later."

"Received, will deliver in half an hour."

With Zhuang Mingxu's help, Lu Weiyi only needed to pay attention to the rear and occasionally manipulate the little green branch to help the people below. Although everyone seemed to be struggling desperately, there was no real danger.

Until traces of more than a dozen cars appeared within the range of Lu Weiyi's mental power.

"There is a car coming towards this side." Lu Weiyi had just finished speaking when he saw a car throwing something forward, splitting into two teams and driving in different directions to the left and right.

It was too dark at night to make out the exact thing, but when they saw that the zombies chose to give up chasing them and instead ran towards here, they knew it definitely couldn't be a good thing.

"Looking for death," Lu Weiyi gritted his teeth, "Someone has attracted more zombies, I will go and stop them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he controlled the small green branches to tie up the sentry, and jumped down himself. As he landed, he ran towards the group of zombies. The surging SS-level mental power spread from his body, and as he moved, he quickly cleared a passage leading directly to the land.

"Who is at the command center? What's going on? Why do I see..." Ning Yuan's breathless voice came from the intercom.

"It's me, Zhuang Mingxu. There was an unexpected situation ahead. The base commander went to deal with it. Now I'm taking over the command. All teams continue to follow the original orders," Zhuang Mingxu responded quickly.

"How many zombies are there ahead? The B-level mutants can't hold on any longer," asked Li Zhuang.

Zhuang Mingxu was holding an infrared telescope and could vaguely see the situation in front of him. His vision was not as detailed as that of the psychics, but what he saw was a crowd of people.

"It will take some time. B-level psychics, please withdraw and rest for half an hour," Zhuang Mingxu said, then changed the channel. "Supply full fire support, and don't let any zombies get closer to the coast."

The artillery fire continued, and Lu Weiyi was already standing a thousand meters away. Under his supernatural power, the surrounding zombies formed a circle of vacuum, and the tires of the cars that took a detour were cut by him, and the supernatural people on them lost the chance to leave.

While thousands of people attacked the zombies, they moved towards Lu Weiyi.

"I am Jiang Ning, the base leader of the Pingjin base. Now most of the zombies in Pingjin have been attracted here. If we don't unite and rely on ourselves, no one can escape."

"So..." Lu Weiyi looked at the slightly plump man in front of him, unsure for a moment whether he was really Jiang Ning.

Rumor has it that Jiang Ning hates ordinary people because his wife and children are ordinary people and he has been supporting them since the early days of the apocalypse.

But his supernatural powers were not strong at that time, and he went out all day to collect food. However, his wife used the food he brought back to support her gigolo, and even his children were brainwashed into thinking that there was nothing wrong with it, because he had no time to accompany them, but that man could be with them every day.

After he caught his wife cheating on him in bed and slapped her in anger, his two children, who had never said a harsh word to him before, stabbed him in the back and called him a genetically mutated monster and an outcast.

The psychics have strong vitality. Jiang Ning, who survived, did not seek revenge on them. Instead, he went to Pingjin alone and established the Pingjin base. From then on, he refused to accept any ordinary people.

Just as they said, superpowers have divided them into two races, and conflicts are always going to arise, so he might as well nip everything in the bud from the very beginning.

"How many zombies did you bring?" Lu Weiyi asked.

Jiang Ning didn't say anything, and the psychics following him looked at each other in silence.

Lu Weiyi turned around and wanted to leave, but a woman said, "At least tens of thousands. We, we just want..."

"You just want to lure the zombies here and let the people in our base die for you," Lu Weiyi added.

The woman said nothing.

Jiang Ning asked, "What do you want? I have crystal cores, food, and everything else."

"The ransom for an A-level mutant is 10,000 crystal cores, and the ransom for a B-level mutant is 8,000," said Lu Weiyi.

Jiang Ning glanced at the people who had survived with him with great difficulty, gritted his teeth, and said, "...Deal."

"Divide the work and cooperate. You are responsible for the zombies between 1 and 5 o'clock. If a zombie crosses the line, it will be your problem."

"If we pay the ransom, won't we be allowed to enter the city?" someone asked.

"What are you thinking about? If you don't deal with the zombies you attracted, everyone will die here." Lu Weiyi commanded the little green branch to confine an area of ​​more than 200 meters around him. The approaching zombies had their crystal cores absorbed and fell down, and soon a circle of zombies formed a wall.

"What's your ransom?"

"Of course it's the ransom after you survive," Lu Weiyi said shamelessly. He looked at Jiang Ning, "You don't think the good things done by the Pingjin base will be wiped out because of the zombie attack, do you?"

"As long as people are alive, debts must be repaid."

After Lu Weiyi finished speaking, he took the lead and returned to the direction of the base. At the same time, his mental power and the small green branch stretched out at the same time. The zombies on the entire ice layer were under strong pressure, and the sound of explosions was endless. In a short while, only broken limbs were left on the ground.

"From one to five o'clock, everyone should retreat and rest. Execute now." Lu Weiyi turned around and looked back, then raised his chin towards the team that had already returned in the distance.

Jiang Ning had a gloomy face and looked at Lu Weiyi steadily. Finally, he waved to the person behind him and walked forward first.

"Captain, what's going on?" Xu Sa asked.

"We have...helpers." Jiang Ning's team hadn't gone far yet, so Lu Weiyi was too embarrassed to say anything else.

"Let the friendly forces of the Menghu team rest together," Zhuang Mingxu's voice came from the intercom, and then Lu Weiyi's personal intercom rang, "Xiaoyi, how about your special ability? Can you suppress it for a while from nine to eleven o'clock to give them time to rest?"

Finally, he asked, "How many zombies are there? Do you have any idea?"

"There are still zombies approaching within the range of my mental power. It will take at least a few more hours. We must be prepared for a long battle. I will collect some of the zombie crystal cores first," Lu Weiyi replied, walking towards the direction of Li Zhuang and others, while continuously collecting all the crystal cores from the bodies of the fallen zombies.
