Chapter 147, Zombie Attack
After enduring the bitter cold of winter, when the ice and snow melted and all things revived, the zombies also regained their former mobility and began to move in groups, following the smell of flesh and blood in search of food.
As a result, the bases where humans live became the main targets of attack by the zombies.
In the first spring after the apocalypse, Xiling Base welcomed the first wave of zombies.
Tens of thousands of zombies were like a dark cloud, rushing in from all directions to surround the base, making it impossible to escape.
The stench of decay wafted through the base, becoming increasingly stronger.
Ordinary people huddled in their homes, not daring to say a word.
The army stood guard on the city walls with weapons, sweeping away the ordinary zombies that kept approaching, while the psychics needed to be wary of the mutated zombies and mutant beasts that had also evolved psychics.
Waves of zombies crashed against the city walls. The vast Xiling base was like a small boat on the sea, which could be swallowed up by the foul-smelling waves at any time.
The corpses of zombies piled up outside the city wall, gradually forming a human staircase.
"Superpowers, clean up the zombie corpses!" On the city wall, Shen Yang looked at the growing pile of zombie corpses and shouted, "Be careful of the mutant beasts in the sky! Don't give them a chance to get close!"
An earth-type mutant pushed the ground structure outside the city wall, pushing the mountain of zombies away from the city wall.
"We can't go on like this, Captain! There are too many zombies, and we don't have enough manpower!"
"Tsk." They were originally going out to pick up Shen Bai and Jiang Ran who had returned, but they didn't expect to encounter a wave of zombies before they even left the house. Shen Yang tugged at his collar in frustration, "Where's A117?"
"At the north wall—the troops over there are almost overwhelmed."
"Tell them to clean up the dead zombies and prevent them from climbing up."
"yes."
"Where are Chen Bai and the others?"
"We haven't found the whereabouts of the deputy captain yet."
Shen Yang frowned, thought for a moment, and made a decision: "Go to the Military Control Building to find Marshal Shen and tell him about the situation here. He knows what to do."
I didn't expect that such a large-scale zombie tide would occur after the snow melted. Now most of the base's combat power is outside. If the base can't withstand it, we can only mobilize the forces under the Shen family.
"What did you say?" After receiving the report from his subordinates, Shen Lang's expression changed several times, "Zombie tide..."
"Captain Shen, are you going to mobilize our psychics?" A trusted aide stood beside him, frowning after hearing the report. "I'm worried Captain Shen and the others can't hold on."
"If we mobilize Team Z now, won't that expose all our strength?" Shen Lang stood up and paced back and forth in the office anxiously. "There are so many psychics and military personnel out there. If they can't even withstand a swarm of zombies, what's the point of keeping them in the base?"
"But..." The confidant looked out the window and saw the flock of mutant birds circling over the base. He hesitated, "I'm worried about Captain Shen Yang..."
"You go, let A117 stay with Ayang to protect his safety!"
"this……"
"Hurry up and go!"
"yes!"
…
Below the city, the zombies were still relentlessly attacking the city walls.
More and more people with special abilities overuse their special abilities, and their bodies cannot bear the burden and they lose consciousness.
Some soldiers in the army were attacked by mutant birds. Although they were immediately carried away for treatment, it was obviously impossible to prevent ordinary people from turning into zombies.
There are more and more zombies under the city wall.
The defensive power on the city walls is decreasing.
Shen Yang avoided the mutant bird that attacked from the air, shot it in the head, and then kicked the falling corpse off the city wall.
What's going on? Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?
Could it be that... at this point, Grandpa is not planning to arrange for people from Group Z to come over for support?
Thinking of this possibility, the man cursed.
The decrease in the number of people with special abilities meant that there was not enough time to clean up the zombie corpses, and soon some zombies took advantage of their companions' bodies and found an opportunity to jump onto the city wall.
The sharp vines swept over, cutting the zombies that jumped onto the city wall into two sections and throwing them to the ground.
The vines moved among the zombies, overturning all the climbing zombies and the human stairs formed by the zombies.
He was very familiar with this attack method. The man felt an ominous premonition in his heart and turned around.
Sure enough, Shen Youyou was standing a few steps away, having broken the neck of a mutant bird that attacked her and casually thrown it on the ground.
"A117?!" Shen Yang blurted out, "Why are you here?!"
Now that she is here, who is guarding the north city wall?
"Shen Shuai asked me to protect you." The girl walked up to him and replied with a stern face, "I won't let them hurt you."
The man almost kicked her off the city wall due to the emotionless response.
However, knowing clearly in her heart that her actions were not something she could decide on her own, Shen Yang took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"Follow me, we're going to the north wall."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cry of surprise came from the back of the base.
"Zombies! Zombies are coming!"
Shen Yang’s expression changed slightly, and he grabbed Shen Youyou’s collar: “Let’s go over there.”
Shen Youyou still had no expression: “Oh.”
…
After losing the most important battle, the north city wall was quickly breached by zombies.
A group of zombies mixed with mutant beasts jumped down from the city wall and rampaged through the base.
The soldiers guarding the city wall were preventing more zombies from crawling in, while arranging people to go down and deal with the zombies that had already crawled in. For a while, they were in a panic.
"What are you yelling about?!" Gu Yunqing, who had also heard the commotion and rushed over from the South Gate, had a cold expression on his face. He used his wind blade to cut through the ladders piled up by the zombies and shouted sternly, "Everyone! Don't take a single step back! Reinforcements are coming soon! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"
With a high-level psychic in charge, the panicked team members regained their composure: "Yes!"
"Ahhhhhh!" Screams rang out one after another in the base.
There were many ordinary people living under the north city wall. Now that they were attacked by zombies, most of them could only hold their heads and tremble.
Shen Yang, who had just arrived, looked at the direction where the scream came from, raised his hand and threw Shen Youyou out: "A117, go save people."
Shen Youyou landed lightly on the ground without moving: “The order I received is to protect you.”
"I am your master." Shen Yang was annoyed with her and said in a bad manner, "You want to disobey my orders?"
Shen Youyou said in a flat tone: “I understand, Master.”
She turned and ran towards the residential area.
The small figure quickly disappeared among the tall buildings.
…
Unexpectedly, the base was surrounded by zombies. Shen Bai stood on a steep slope a hundred meters away, watching the situation in the base through a telescope.
"Deputy Captain, we..."
"The north side of the base has the most zombies." After just a quick look, Shen Bai had a sense of proportion. "Zhong Qian, take everyone in the second team to the north to support the city defense team. Everyone else, follow me to cut off the three main roads leading into the base."
"yes!"
"Um..." Zhong Qian looked around and asked Shen Bai in a low voice, "Deputy Captain, Professor Si and Miss Jiang..."
"Don't worry about them." Chen Bai interrupted his question, "Si Xu will protect Ran Ran, we just need to do our own thing."
