Five years into the apocalypse, Zhuang Mingxu, the strongest ability user in the safe zone, was killed by his so-called “family.”
Lu Weiyi, who had been indifferent to everything for over...
Chapter 554: Leading Zombie
The person who was speaking seemed to remember something and stopped talking suddenly. He quickly glanced around and didn't find anyone from Lieyan present. Then he continued, "With that person here, it's hard to say what will happen if there are any high-level zombies now."
"Indeed. So what's going on with that person? Wasn't he upgraded? There's no news about the upgrade? Did he fail?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. I have reliable information. The person is still alive. But the psychic system is an invisible energy body. When it is upgraded, it will cause mental problems to the psychic."
"I asked some psychics, and it's true, but the low-level upgrades aren't serious. According to them, it's just like the inner demons during upgrades described in the novels about cultivating immortals."
"It's so mysterious, doesn't it mean that if you can't get through it..."
"Ahem... why are there ordinary people here this time? Didn't you require that all of them be high-level psychics? Are they here to make up the numbers?"
Seeing that the topic was gradually moving in another direction, someone quickly pulled it back.
"There are more than 3,000 ordinary people, and they only brought about 20 S-level psychics. Obviously, not all the high-level psychics in their base have arrived. Is it too hasty for us to pin our hopes on them?"
"Can you guarantee that they can lead us to victory when they come?"
Various problems emerged one after another, and in the end, they all seemed to deify the Yuebanwan support forces, as if they could do anything once they arrived.
Chen Guozhong was speechless, not to mention the other people in the command room. He didn't let them waste their time on irrelevant things and asked directly, "How long will it take them to arrive?"
"soon".
**
The advantage of having a lot of power is that it can share the pressure, while the disadvantage of having a lot of power is poor obedience and weak execution.
Because Yueban Bay had not arrived yet, several bases were dissatisfied and did not take their personnel away, but were determined not to go to places where there were many zombies.
Mr. Zheng is an ordinary person, and he is under tremendous pressure to command a group of people with special powers. The lack of cooperation from some individual teams will lead to more casualties on the battlefield.
When the zombies suddenly evacuated on a large scale and gathered towards the southeast, Mr. Zheng decisively mobilized the entire Jin Province base team to support the southeast. Unexpectedly, the Jin Province team was slow in action, and when the support arrived, hundreds of thousands of zombies had already used their psychics and zombie bodies to tear a gap in the southeast city wall.
In order to prevent the zombies from entering the city, Mr. Zheng had to dispatch the garrison team in the northwest to provide support. Fortunately, most of the zombies here had been transferred away, and only ordinary zombies with weak combat effectiveness were left.
What was unexpected was that as the team stationed here evacuated, the zombies that originally appeared to have no special abilities suddenly became powerful, and each of them displayed an S-level ability.
"They are all above A-level, and there are more S-level zombies. Support..."
“Requesting support—!”
The heart-wrenching cries of the remaining psychics came from the other side of the communicator.
"Didn't you report that they didn't have any superpowers?" Old Master Zheng's eyes were red from being awake for several days. He asked loudly, patting his chest and coughing violently.
The front-line teams are all equipped with supernatural detectors that can roughly detect the level of zombies. Although when facing tens of thousands of zombies, all they show is a large mass, which seems to be useless, it can still serve as a warning when the scope is narrowed.
This is also the reason why Mr. Zheng chose to mobilize manpower because he believed that what they reported were "all ordinary zombies."
“……”No one answered this question.
They can't just say that they thought the instrument was useless and never looked at it again, right?
"Commander, the earth-type zombies have breached the city wall. We can't hold them back. Most of our brothers have died... Water-type mutants, quickly stop the attack of the fire-type zombies..."
"Ah! Fire type, is there any fire type? Burn these plants quickly..."
"Damn, they are too high level, my fire element can't burn them."
“Support! Commander! Ah——!”
The screams of the soldiers continued to be heard from the communicator. Mr. Zheng covered his chest and looked around the remaining teams. "The Feihong Tiger elites, go immediately..."
"Commander, a large number of zombies suddenly appeared in the north direction. The estimated number is over 100,000. Requesting support."
"The zombies in the southeast have evacuated."
"They are gathering toward the north—"
In a flash, Mr. Zheng seemed to have figured something out. His face suddenly turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Before, Lu Xiao said that there were zombies directing the operation. Mr. Zheng listened to him and had been tracking the suspicious zombies. However, the inherent impression that zombies had on humans made them think that it was a miracle that they could have consciousness.
No one would have thought that they would actually use military tactics.
From mobilizing all the zombies to launch a feint attack in the southeast direction, to luring away the psychics in the northwest direction, they quickly gathered together to attack due north.
They applied the tactics of war in the battle, taking the team of superpowers into account step by step.
For the sake of disguise, they even let high-level zombies disguise themselves as the lowest-level ordinary zombies in the city.
"Commander, the city in the north... has been breached!"
They eventually paid the price for their contempt.
Mr. Zheng trembled all over and leaned to one side uncontrollably.
"Commander!" The guard quickly supported the man and prevented him from falling. "Commander, you haven't had a rest for three days."
But at this moment he couldn't say anything to let the old man go to rest.
There were also members from other bases in the conference room. They stared at the commander closely, fearing that their own team would suffer.
"Grandpa! What's wrong with you?" Zheng Yi's anxious voice came from the communicator.
"team leader……"
Mr. Zheng raised his hand to stop the guard from speaking, and stood firmly on the table with one hand, his face still looking firm, "It's okay."
"Report the situation in all directions!"
"Report to the commander, the high-level zombies in the northwest have broken into the city and are moving towards the city. There are about a hundred zombies, most of them are S-level zombies with super powers, and some have invisible super powers."
"There are less than 300 psychics left, and they are unable to resist..."
"Hundreds of thousands of zombies have gathered in the north, including ordinary zombies and zombies with special powers. Their levels are not high, but their numbers are large. They have already broken through the city wall. Zheng's army and Lieyan have led the support and have temporarily controlled the dispersion of the zombies."
"In the southwest direction, the number of zombies is estimated to be less than 10,000, and their level is not strong, so 20,000 psychics can be transferred away."
"There are not many people with special abilities in the northeast direction, and 30,000 people with special abilities can be transferred there."
"Seventy thousand people with special abilities can be mobilized in the southeast direction."
"Command post received it." Old Master Zheng listened to reports from all directions, his eyes swept across the inner city planning city of Kyoto base, and ordered, "All A-level high-level and S-level psychics of each team will support the northwest, and the remaining personnel in the northeast, southeast and northeast will support the north."
"Also, a mandatory order is issued to all residents in the city to move to the shelters immediately. The six shelters will be closed in half an hour. Anyone who disobeys the order will be at their own risk of life and death."
"yes!"
As Mr. Zheng gave the order, the whole city moved instantly. The sound of the broadcast resounded throughout the entire base. Those who had been keeping an eye on the battle situation immediately ran towards the underground shelter that had been built in advance.
The underground shelter of the Kyoto base was built using the former subway passage. The repaired and reinforced subway passage can accommodate the residents of the entire base, but the ventilation is not as good as before and the light is dimmer.
Residents of the entire base ran towards the nearest entrance, and the silent city suddenly became noisy again.
"What's going on? Isn't there a rescue team here? Why do we need to go to the shelter?"
"I heard that they can't defeat them. All the zombies in downtown Kyoto are heading this way."
"What's the point of going to the shelter if we don't evacuate immediately?"
"The entire base is now surrounded. Where can we retreat?"
"Everyone, hurry up and don't take your luggage for now. Safety is the most important. Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The ordinary people in the guard team who maintain order usually patrol the entire base and are now at ease.
"Auntie, you don't need to take that jar of pickles with you, just go in first."
"Well, I'm talking to you. Put down the quilt and hold the child tightly!"
"Don't push, come in one by one—"
The voices of patrol police kept coming from the loudspeaker, but there were only so many entrances. After half an hour, everyone was afraid of being left on the ground, and there was constant crowding, trampling, cursing and crying.
Coupled with the sound of artillery fire in the distance and the roar of zombies, fear was on everyone's face. They all wanted to get a definite safety message, but no one could give a guarantee.
The bustling city disappeared like a withered Epiphyllum in the bleak autumn wind, leaving only traces of the past, such as garbage-strewn floors, unclosed doors, and overturned tables and chairs.
In half an hour, the two broken entrances had been breached by zombies, and the zombies in other directions gradually retreated and rushed towards these two places.
It became increasingly difficult for the psychics to resist without the advantage of the city walls.
Fortunately, Mr. Zheng brought the news that all residents in the city had been evacuated to the shelter, which made everyone feel relieved. A group of people with weak combat power might not be able to help much, but if they fall next to the zombies, they will become new opponents.
"Commander, we... need to retreat..."
"Commander, I seem to have found that unique zombie."
Cong Qing's voice interrupted the previous inquiry.
"Where is it?" Lu Xiao asked first.
At this time, Lu Xiao, Zheng Yi and Zhao Qiang brought all the S-level psychics from various bases gathered together. They were facing the north where high-level zombies gathered.
Cong Qing led the remaining members of Lieyan and a large number of support teams to fight in the northwest where a large number of zombies gathered.
"He's in the middle of the zombie pile, wearing tattered camouflage clothes with blood stains on his clothes." Cong Qing's eyes were fixed on an inconspicuous zombie in the zombie pile. Compared with the ferocious and aggressive other zombies, he was abnormally quiet, but there seemed to be a circle of zombies surrounding him in a protective state, separating him from those low-level zombies who only knew how to obey and were attracted by flesh and blood.
