"Quick, everyone hide! The zombies are coming!"
It's unclear who shouted first, but Zhu Sha City and Long Xiang City instantly erupted into chaos, with the citizens thrown into disarray.
Cheng Zhen reacted immediately, using his powerful ability to purify and prevent the zombies from attacking from above. Although he was already a level three ability user, his abilities were still limited, and protecting Long Xiangcheng was his limit.
Jiang Wan and her two children got out of the RV, and Jiang Xiaoshu immediately rushed to the edge of Longxiang City and Zhusha City, releasing his purification ability.
Jiang Xiaoxin immediately released her ten mutated rose assistants and ordered them to form a protective shield above the city wall, protecting everyone.
At this time, they did not distinguish between Longxiang City and Zhusha City, because the two cities were adjacent to each other by only one wall.
If Vermilion City falls completely, Longxiang City, as its neighbor, will inevitably be affected sooner or later. Moreover, the population of Vermilion City is dozens, even hundreds of times that of Longxiang City. If Vermilion City falls and its citizens all become a new wave of mutated zombies, then in the end, only Longxiang City will suffer.
But by this time, many zombies had already landed on the ground. These zombies were extremely ferocious and hungry, like beasts trapped in a cage that had been starving for a very long time. When they were suddenly released and smelled the fresh flesh and blood, they would rush over impatiently with astonishing explosive power.
Fortunately, as soon as the twins rushed out of the RV, Cheng Zhen asked Yu Fen to protect them, so the zombies on the ground, no matter how fierce, were all killed and did not pose a threat to the twins.
Jiang Wan wasn't idle either; she exchanged for countless Ice Archers and Potato Archers.
As soon as Cheng Zhen saw her come down, he immediately assigned her a squad of city guards: "Go and protect Jiang Wan!"
Jiang Wan saw that they were all highly capable superhumans and immediately refused: "I don't need them. They should go kill zombies. Just give me a team of people without superhuman abilities. I only need them to help me plant these weapons."
Cheng Zhen's gaze swept over the bag of seeds in her hand, and she nodded, instructing Song Hui to arrange manpower for her again.
When the people of Longxiang City heard that they were going to help plant experts grow plant weapons, regardless of age or gender, they all rushed out of their houses without saying a word.
The repeated battles against zombies have united everyone in Longxiang City.
Jiang Wan only had a few gold coins, and in no time at all, she spent them all.
The Potato Shooter costs 50 coins, while the Ice Shooter costs 80 coins. The key difference is that the Ice Shooter isn't permanent; it only has 50 bullets.
After considering it for a moment, she bought more Potato Shooters, 200 in total, and used the rest to buy Ice Shooters. She then had them planted in pots and placed them all on the highest point of the roof to shoot zombies.
Suddenly, she discovered another plant weapon in the tree hole space, which could be launched from a distance and was called the Corn Thrower, worth 80 gold coins.
Jiang Wan bought another 200 without hesitation, had them all planted, and placed on the shared city wall of Zhusha City and Longxiang City, mainly to target the zombies attacking Zhusha City.
Okay, I owe another gold coin.
Fortunately, this time the corn pitcher can throw corn indefinitely; as long as the plant doesn't die, it can keep firing.
It's better than the Frost Archer, which can only fire 50 times.
Above the two cities, Cheng Zhen and Jiang Xiaoshu possessed purification abilities, while Jiang Xiaoxin's ten mutated rose assistants formed a protective shield to block the invasion of mutated zombies.
However, the two cities are so large that there are bound to be loopholes that have not been taken into account. And these zombies seem to have become sentient, all converging on the direction of these loopholes.
Although there weren't many city guards in Longxiang City, they were all superhumans, and with Cheng Zhen and Jiang Xiaoshu's purification abilities, only a small number of zombies were able to land on the ground, but they were quickly killed by the armed citizens.
More zombies were shot down by plant weapons outside the protective shield. Potato Shooter was weak, but Ice Shooter and Corn Shooter were quite powerful, almost killing a zombie with a single shot.
But the truly unfortunate part was the section of Zhusha City furthest from Longxiang City, where the loopholes were too large and zombies kept pouring in.
Because of the great distance, Cheng Zhen and Jiang Xiaoshu's protective shields, as well as the vines of Jiang Xiaoxin's ten rose assistants, could not extend over there. The gap was large, and the zombies were invading very quickly. Even with the weapons in place, Zhu Sha City was struggling to cope.
However, after holding out for more than half an hour, the number of soldiers lost increased, because they were all ordinary people, not people with superpowers.
As Zhang Hao listened to their reports, his face grew increasingly grim. He desperately wanted to wage a decisive victory, but without any superhumans at his disposal, he couldn't possibly launch an attack.
"Lord Chen, perhaps we should ask the neighbors for help?"
The suggestion came from Liu Liwen, who has recently gained Zhang Hao's trust and respect, so Zhang Hao listens to what he says.
He asked, "How's things going with the Cheng family?"
Liu Liwen immediately waved his hand outside, and someone ran out to find out what was going on. After a while, the person returned and reported:
"They have superhumans who have built a protective shield that keeps most of the zombies out. They also have a plant-based weapon that can kill zombies instead of firearms."
Liu Liwen said, "There are many talented people in Longxiang City, and they also have mutated plants that they can use."
Zhang Hao had taken refuge in the air-raid shelter long ago, so he was unaware of the situation outside. Hearing this, he was very surprised: "Can they still command the mutated plants?"
"Yes, it's a type of vine that forms a protective shield over our city to help block the invasion of zombies."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately said, "Then why don't we have them send out more mutated plants to form protective shields to help us protect the city?"
His thinking was very simple: as long as he could keep all the zombies out of the city, there wouldn't be any problems. After all, he had too few superhumans. He had weapons, but his stockpile was dwindling and would eventually run out.
Liu Liwen said with difficulty, "Lord City Lord, I'm afraid you'll have to negotiate with that man surnamed Cheng. He's very cunning. He deliberately only built a part of the protective shield for us, leaving such a large gap."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately ordered, "Where's Jiang Ling? Where's Deputy City Lord Jiang? Send her. She's familiar with those people and has a lot of experience dealing with them!"
But after searching the air-raid shelter, there was no trace of Jiangling.
His face was very grim, and he demanded, "Where has she gone?"
