Chapter 279 Rescue of the First Base

A group of people being chased by zombies not far away saw a team of powerful, uniformly dressed warriors coming to their aid. Their eyes welled up with tears, and they shouted excitedly.

"Look, everyone! A team of superpowered individuals is coming to our aid."

"There must be over a hundred of them! And each one of them is incredibly powerful!"

"Great, we're saved."

"Quick, let's get around them, then we'll be saved."

"That's right, let's run that way right away!"

"If we get there, we can survive."

Many survivors finished speaking excitedly and ran desperately towards the direction of the Lord.

After a period of frenzied slaughter, Junjue felt the increasing points in the system and was full of motivation to work with his teammates to break through the zombie horde, carrying out a crazy massacre and trying their best to stop their attack.

Fireballs, water spheres, lightning bolts, wind blades, and vines, all larger than a fist, danced among the zombie hordes.

Before long, hundreds of level one and two zombies had been knocked to the ground.

Thirty purple-haired robots were diligently digging for crystal cores in the back, while seventy robots and the Lord's group frantically killed the zombies that rushed towards them.

Seeing the endless stream of zombies, the Duke warned his teammates:

"Everyone, be careful and control it. Don't use up all the energy of your superpowers. If you use it all up, you'll be too weak to even stand up."

"No problem, Captain!" Su Ye assured him.

After saying that, he swung his water-based power at the zombies not far away, along with fist-sized bolts of lightning-based power, burning the surrounding low-level zombies until they were charred and tender.

"No mistake, watch me!"

After watching Su Ye's battle, Di Zhantian finished speaking with excitement, aimed at the zombie's head, and fired more than a dozen thumb-sized golden needles in succession. He also threw more than a dozen small earth balls larger than his fist, which smashed the zombie to the ground and made it unable to get up.

Seeing his increasingly powerful abilities, he happily exclaimed, "After upgrading my abilities, it was so much fun using them to fight zombies today!"

"Whoosh..."

"Sizzle..."

The intense fire and wind blade powers were unleashed, slicing open the heads of the surrounding zombies and engulfing their bodies in flames.

Yue Chi only possesses spatial abilities, allowing him to teleport 200 meters and light-based abilities, one for storing items and the other for healing. He has no offensive capabilities and can only cooperate with Dongfang Ao.

Dongfang Ao unleashed over a dozen fist-thick wooden vines to bind the zombies. She was responsible for using her "Willful Transformation" skill to obliterate the bound zombies with a single shot, then picking up the crystal cores on the ground and continuing to kill the other bound zombies.

"The weapons the captain gave us are amazing! This is so efficient, safe, and effective," Yue Ying said happily.

After Yue Chi devoured fifty or sixty zombies, he watched as a group of zombies collapsed, reduced to black bones, before continuing to devour another wave.

Hearing his sister's words, he smiled and said, "That's right! It doesn't matter that my sister doesn't have any offensive abilities. As long as she has this weapon that can change at will given by the captain, she can kill low-level zombies at any time."

"Yes! Brother is right!"

After Yue Ying finished speaking, she continued killing zombies, using her ability to change weapons at will and have unlimited ammo. Not satisfied with single shots, she quickly pressed a button, instantly switching to rapid-fire bullets, increasing the power several times over.

A group of survivors who had finally made it there were deeply moved to see how brave the reinforcements were.

They waited, they were finally saved.

A few days ago, a zombie outbreak occurred, and the entire base fell. Out of 50,000 to 60,000 people, only a few hundred awakened their superpowers, while more than 2,000 people did not. The rest all turned into zombies.

After the base's high command discovered that the base had fallen, they fled with those who had awakened superpowers, leaving only a group of ordinary people behind.

A group of people arrived at the safe zone, panting heavily. Seeing that there were only five or six hundred survivors, the Duke did not let them rest.

He took out a pile of water and said to the group, "After you finish drinking the water, let's help fight zombies or collect crystal cores."

"Once the zombies are all wiped out, I will exchange several days' worth of food for anyone who hands over the crystal cores."

A group of disheveled, emaciated, and sweating people, upon seeing the suddenly appearing water, licked their parched lips and scrambled to drink it.

After drinking a bottle of water, everyone felt like they had come back to life.

Upon hearing Junjue's words, the group excitedly asked:

"Really? You really have food?"

"Really, the crystal cores are useless to you. As long as you take the crystal cores from the zombies' heads and hand them over, you'll have at least three days' worth of food and water."

"If we dig a lot, we can not only have three days' worth of food, but also sunscreen and skincare products if we want," Junjue assured him.

"Great! All the food has gone bad, there's nothing left to eat, and we've been starving for a long time."

"Everyone, get to work quickly and try to get today's food and sunscreen."

"Where there are crystal cores, there is food. Everyone, get moving!"

"This is wonderful! I haven't had a proper meal in ages."

"With food, my stomach won't have to go hungry every day."

Upon hearing that there was indeed food, a group of people rushed to dig for crystal cores, throwing stones at them when they had no weapons.

He didn't care about the dirt when he got the crystal core; he put it in his dark pocket and went to smash the next one.

Seeing that he suddenly had so much manpower, the Duke had thirty robots hand over the crystal cores to him and then send them to kill zombies.

With so many people involved in the crystal core issue, let's use all the robots to hunt down more zombies.

More than a hundred of them were killing frantically, holding their ground, and using their superpowers and weapons to eliminate as many zombies as possible.

The ground was littered with first, second, and third-level corpses, and it wasn't long before five or six hundred people dug out all the crystal cores.

This relentless battle lasted a long time, and no one had any intention of retreating. They continued to cooperate, kill, and control the situation.

Finally, as the last zombie fell, silence returned to the field.

Junjue loosened his grip on his weapon, glanced at his teammates, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"We did it. We successfully supported the first base." His voice was full of pride and relief.

[Beep—The Salvation System's support mission for twenty bases has been completed, 20/1]

Di Zhantian patted Junjue on the shoulder, "Yes, we won."

Next, we must move on and find the next base that needs rescue.

"Let's settle everyone down first before we head to the next base!" Yue Ying said, looking at the group of disheveled people with some distress.

If she and her brother hadn't met their teammates, they might have been part of that group too!

“Yes! Yue Ying is right. Let’s get these people under control first before we go to the next base.”

Their eyes hardened once more; faced with this dangerous world, they had no room to back down.

Looking at a group of ordinary people who were as thin as skin and bones, they understood that only their efforts could bring hope and safety to innocent people.

The horror of the apocalypse became the driving force that ignited their fighting spirit.

They will continue to fight, protecting this remaining human world, until the very last moment.
