Chapter 378, Open the door to welcome guests!
I have never seen such a weird scene.
The dark mass of zombies was like a dark cloud, spreading from under the city wall to the end of the plain beyond the sight.
The stench of decay spread throughout the entire Xiling base.
Shen Yang stood on the city wall, looking down at the aggressive enemy.
He knew that these motionless zombies only needed a command from the person behind them, and they would swarm like locusts, devouring the Xiling base until only an empty shell was left.
Beside him, the captain of Team Z, covering his nose pretentiously, said in a muffled voice, "What do you mean by these zombies? They're lined up so neatly but aren't taking any action. Are they waiting for us to feed them?"
That’s really a pity. There is no food left in the entire base except for these few idle people.
His fingers tapped rhythmically on the guardrail in front of him, and Shen Yang smiled: "They are waiting for someone."
"Waiting for someone?" Chen Feng picked up a stone, threw it up and caught it again. He aimed at an ugly zombie and flicked his finger at it.
The stone was like a bullet, piercing the head of the zombie closest to the city gate.
The zombie fell straight to the ground.
The remaining zombies turned a blind eye and remained motionless, with no reaction to the death of their teammates.
Shen Feng smacked his lips. "Tsk, dead things are dead things." He nudged Shen Yang with his elbow. "Anyway, they don't move, so they're not as good as us..."
"Given the number of zombies within our current sight, I think even if all the psychics in our entire base come out in full force, they will only become their food." Not to mention, there may be a bunch of zombies waiting for them in the distance that they cannot see.
Chen Feng spread his hands: "Wouldn't we be their food when they attack?"
"They didn't attack. I guess they're waiting for someone."
Waiting for someone again? Waiting for whom? All the capable and useful people in Xiling Base were currently stationed on this wall.
If they wait a few more days and Si Xu and the others come back, they will have no choice but to wait for death - no, they are already dead.
Shen Feng was still lost in thought when Jiang Ran followed Zhong Qian up to the city wall.
"Brother, Brother Shen."
The little girl smiled brightly and kindly, and Chen Feng happily returned the greeting: "Sister Ranran is here."
Shen Yang scoffed at her: "Why is she your sister?"
Shen Feng sneered: “People call me Brother Shen, I know you are jealous.”
“…”
Jiang Ran walked to Shen Yang's side, looked at the zombie team downstairs, and said with a sigh: "Brother, look at this team, it's so neatly arranged, it's a blessing for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder!"
Shen Yang replied: "Yeah."
Zhong Qian had long been accustomed to the captain's double standards. He pushed his glasses and reported to Shen Yang: "Captain, everything has been arranged in the city."
Shen Yang nodded.
Chen Feng stroked his chin, thoughtfully: "So, you knew this was a trap all along? That's strange. If you let Si Xu out, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to handle it?"
Jiang Ran spoke frankly: "When we let Si Xu out, we didn't realize it was a trap."
They thought that the Nanjun base was a piece of fat meat thrown into a pit and waiting for the supernatural people from all sides to take the bait, but they did not expect that Shi Yuzhi's ultimate goal was Xiling.
Xiling is located in a remote area, backed by the Xiling Snow Mountain, and has the largest number of high-level psychics among the four bases.
Compared to Xiling, Beichen and Dongchao bases are obviously easier to attack.
But they chose Xiling... Why?
Jiang Ran took out a telescope from somewhere and started looking around.
"Strange, that person didn't come?" There are so many zombies, but no trace of Feng Ting was found... This is unscientific.
When Jiang Ran was wondering, the zombies seemed to have received an order. They all turned sideways, took two steps back, and made way in the middle.
Someone walked from the end of the zombie team to the front - the man was tall and walked alone among the zombies, with a sense of tragic grandeur like the whistling wind and the cold Yi River.
Jiang Ran put down the telescope and sneered.
The wind stopped but no one came, it was Shi Yuzhi who came.
Since it's Shi Yuzhi, there's nothing more to talk about.
"Mr. Shen, nice to meet you. I'm Shi Yuji, the person in charge of the Zhaoyang base." The man introduced himself at the foot of the city wall. "I've come here specially to pay you a visit."
The corners of Shen Yang's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to throw a bunch of dirty words at him, but he was now the face of the Xiling base, and it seemed not good to be too aggressive, so he endured it.
Jiang Ran held the telescope in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Shi, why are you here alone? Is the wind stopping?"
Shi Yuji also laughed, her laughter was loud and clear: "Feng stopped at the Nanjun base to do the next cleanup work. Didn't Miss Jiang get the news a long time ago?"
Jiang Ran sighed, regretfully: "I thought Feng Ting would come in person - after all, I am very special to him."
This sounded very ambiguous. Shi Yuji's forehead veins bulged out and he sneered, "So, Miss Jiang knows why I'm visiting you this time?"
Jiang Ran leaned his hands on the city wall, narrowing his eyes and smiling: "Mr. Shi, you are a smart man, and so am I—coincidentally, I might be a little smarter than you. Feng Ting didn't come because you were wary of me, and you came because you were wary of me. I wonder if I'm right?"
Shi Yuji was silent.
Yes, the most fundamental reason for choosing Xiling Base as the first target of attack was Jiang Ran.
This woman can easily dissolve Feng Ting's supernatural power. Even the external space that Si Xu had to fight for a long time and could not find a way to break is like a child's toy in front of her, and it will break at the slightest touch.
This woman is Feng Ting's nemesis.
If she and Si Xu join forces, even Feng Ting will definitely not be their match.
In this way, she will become the only stumbling block on his road to greatness.
Since it is a stumbling block, of course it must be removed as soon as possible.
"Miss Jiang, you guessed right." Shi Yuji was too lazy to beat around the bush with her. "You have two choices now - come with me, or watch the Xiling base being breached by zombies."
"This old man is really weird." Chen Feng whistled and commented with a contemptuous attitude, "He came to the gate of our base to snatch girls? Are there no women in your Zhaoyang base? Or are all the women in your family dead?"
Old man? Although Shi Yuji was a generation older than them, he was well-maintained and looked like a handsome uncle. How could he become an old man in his mouth?
Jiang Ran suppressed his laughter and shook his head: "Brother Shen, don't be so rude to the guests."
Even though someone wanted to kill her, she could still politely call him a guest. I don't know if she was really polite or sarcastic.
After calculating the time, it was almost time. Jiang Ran and Shen Yang exchanged glances, and the former clapped his hands: "It's a pleasure to have guests coming from afar! Everyone, open the door! Welcome the guests!"
As Jiang Ran's clear voice fell, the three gates of Xiling Base slowly opened, exposing the entire core of the base completely under the eyes of Shi Yuzhi and the zombies.
Jiang Ranran is very cunning and she is not someone who will give up easily. What is her purpose in doing this?
On the city wall, Jiang Ran made a "come in" gesture leisurely: "General Shi, Xiling welcomes you."
