Chapter 428 Defense Line

Besides their village, operations are underway throughout the base.

In the castle town, Su Su's father, Su Jianzhong, called out to people he knew and gathered them together, preparing to head to the edge of the town.

"My good son-in-law Qiu Zhiyi is fighting zombies on the front lines, so we can't just sit idly by. Those who can kill zombies should kill zombies, and those who can contribute should contribute their strength. We are the group that has received the most favors from the base leader."

Back when we were at the seed base in Haicheng, it was the base manager who gathered us together, rescued us from dire straits, and took good care of us in a villa.

Later, the Dawn Base was established, and we worked hard under the base commander. Now, we've all been entrusted with important responsibilities and hold positions within the base, doing high-paying and respectable jobs.

The base commander has protected us all the way, done so much for us, and never asked for anything in return.

Now, the base needs our help, and it's time for us to repay the base commander. We must go.

Qiu Zhiyi's mother, Ge Cuilan, shouted, "That's right! Without the base commander, there would be no us. We might have died long ago from the natural disaster. How could we be like this now, with all of us eating so well? Even if I die this time, the base cannot be allowed to be in trouble."

Tao Yarong's mother, Tao Lina, responded, "Yes, yes, let's hurry up and kill some zombies as soon as possible, which will also help the children a bit more."

In another street, Zhou Wen shouted, "Lulu's mom, hurry up! Folks of the fishing village, it was the base leader who rescued us from the village. Now that the base is in trouble, that's when we're needed. Let's hurry up and drive to the outskirts to help."

Lulu's mom, carrying a kitchen knife and a hoe, said, "We're here! We've brought all the fighting gear we can use. Those damned zombies, they just have to ruin our good lives. My Lulu is on the front lines too, and I'm going to go too, to kill a few more zombies."

In a village somewhere, a group of people are also gathering.

“Yang Wen and Lili are both superhumans. They were summoned by the base a few days ago to prepare for battle. I didn’t expect it to be to deal with a zombie horde. We have to go too.”

"It's just killing zombies, that's what we're best at. Now that we're well-fed and have the energy, we can kill even more zombies."

After hearing about the situation, people throughout the base began to take action.

As they drove toward the edge of the base, they discovered that many vehicles were converging on the road, all heading toward the edge of the base.

Cars continued to converge on the main road, gradually forming a traffic flow. They looked at each other and saw determination and indignation in each other's eyes.

They then realized that there were many, many more people like them who were willing to go to the edge of the base to lend a helping hand and contribute their modest efforts to the base's current predicament.

The Dawn Base now houses over 100,000 people, and when they come together, they form a force to be reckoned with.

When Su Su and her group arrived at the nearest edge, they saw Tao Yarong leading the superhumans in resisting the zombie army.

The scene was chilling to behold.

In the distance, the dense, dark army of zombies had completely covered the white snow, leaving only a dark, oppressive mass.

Shells were constantly being fired from the base, landing about 200 meters away, exploding one after another with a loud bang and sparks flying everywhere.

However, facing an army of zombies as numerous as ants, the bombs could not completely eliminate them, and many zombies still managed to reach the edge of the Dawn Base through the bombing zone.

Those with superpowers are the second and final line of defense.

Tao Yarong unleashed her full power, countless vines waving in the air, stabbing and killing hordes of zombies, but soon new groups of zombies would rush in.

The withered, dark, grotesque, skeletal zombies, like withered trees come to life, were truly terrifying to behold.

Tao Yarong stood within the boundary, gritting her teeth and doing her best to resist the zombies' attack.

Her small figure appeared so weak in the face of the zombie army.

Besides her, there were many other superhumans who stood along the boundary of the base, forming a thin yet sturdy defensive line that stretched outwards, holding firm to their position.

Various supernatural abilities, when introduced into the zombie horde, can only cause a small ripple.

But these tiny waves were doing their utmost to stop the zombies' attack.

Occasionally, a few escaped and slipped through the wall of superhumans to their rear. They could only spare a small portion of their energy to quickly kill them before continuing to focus entirely on dealing with the zombie horde.

Every superhuman was on high alert, not daring to relax even slightly.

There were support staff nearby, constantly observing the ability users who were holding their ground. If they saw that someone's attack was weakening, it meant that the ability user's ability was about to run out, and they would immediately provide them with an ability enhancement fluid.

After finishing the drink, the superhuman continued fighting.

They dared not relax for a moment, because behind the wall of superhumans, there was nothing.

Once a gap is torn open by zombies, it will be troublesome for them to flood into the base.

Every superhuman was gritting their teeth and enduring it.

But now, a third line of defense has arrived.

Su Su stepped forward to Tao Yarong's side and asked, "Where is Qiu Zhiyi?"

Tao Yarong didn't dare to turn her head, staring intently at the horde of zombies, "Lead the superhumans to defend elsewhere."

Su Su quickly replied, "We have come with more than a hundred people, carrying food and tools, and we can kill zombies. In addition to us, other residents have also come. Just tell us if there is anything you need us to do."

Upon hearing this, Tao Yarong breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great. Let the strong men with weapons guard our backs. If any escapees manage to get inside, you can kill them. We only need to guard the zombies in front, which will allow us to relax a little."

In addition, mobilize as many people as possible to bring metal from the base, the more the better. We can't worry about that now. If we don't have enough metal, we'll dismantle buildings, farm machinery, and anything else we can. After we bring it over, I'll have earth-type and metal-type ability users work together to build a high wall.

Once the high walls provide protection, some of the superhumans can be freed up, greatly alleviating the pressure of the confrontation.

I will have the ability users take some time to transport the slain zombie corpses inside the defensive line, and have the women dig open the zombies' heads to collect crystal cores. Then, I will quickly send the crystal cores to be made into ability-enhancing fluid.

The superhumans are constantly fighting zombies, and the consumption of the power-enhancing fluid is too great; if the supply is cut off, everything will be over.

These plans should be communicated to the residents so that they all follow them.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Su Su nodded, "I understand, I'll go and make the arrangements right away."

She turned to the hundred or so people who had followed her and shouted, "Young and strong, take your weapons and stand behind the superhumans. If any zombies break through the defenses, go forward and eliminate them to protect the safety of the superhumans!"

Some of them pulled in the zombies around the superhumans, collected their crystal cores, and sent them to make superhuman enhancement fluid.

Another group of people are now returning to the base, dismantling pots, pans, houses, and machinery, and bringing in as much metal as possible to build high walls.

Those teenagers, you're responsible for disseminating these plans throughout the base. As for how to do it, figure that out yourselves, but be quick.

Upon hearing Su Su's instructions, the residents quickly sprang into action, and no one dared to delay.
