Two days passed in a flash, and there was still no word from Xiao Zi.
Meanwhile, on land, the fighting had already broken out.
The military and various teams pushed forward relentlessly, and with the help of the mutated beasts, the progress was incredibly smooth.
Just as they were approaching Star City, the Bi family monsters, who had remained hidden until then, suddenly sprang up like mushrooms after rain and engaged in a fierce battle with them.
Fortunately, the main force of the military arrived in a steady stream, and the two sides were deadlocked for a time, with Star City as the boundary.
On the watchtower, Fu Tianyuan used binoculars to observe the situation on the other side.
"They're still assembling their troops; this battle won't be easy!"
He frowned deeply.
As far as the eye could see, there wasn't a single normal mutated creature; there were countless modified zombies and many abnormal-looking modified humans.
"Brother Nanchuan and Luo Yi have already led the people from the rear forces here. Yunhua has also communicated with the Zombie King. They should arrive here in another two days."
The Shen family and their mutated beasts, the Qiao family, the Jiu Fang family, the Yun family, and some smaller families were already waiting in the rear.
The medicine the research institute developed for them has also arrived, and enough supplies to last us for two months have also been delivered.
Qiao Huaxi stood beside him, also gazing into the distance, her expression revealing determination and confidence. "Our strength is not weak."
"But I've heard that their naval power is even greater than their strength on land."
Fu Tianyuan did not relax because of Qiao Huaxi's words; instead, he became even more worried.
"Shen Nanxing and Sister An'an haven't shown up yet, they must have gone to deal with this matter."
Luo Yue and Chen Yang walked up the steps from the back, while Lockheed stood guard at the foot of the watchtower.
"Yueyue, did they send you a message?" Fu Tianyuan asked Luo Yue hurriedly.
Since leaving the capital, Shen Nanxing and his group have disappeared without a trace, and the occasional news that comes back is not about them.
But at least they were the people they sent back, which gives people assurance that they are safe.
But in the past week, not a single message has come back, and we have completely lost contact with them.
His dad has been losing clumps of hair lately because of this, he's almost driven crazy with worry.
"I'm not sure." Luo Yue honestly shook her head. "I'm just guessing!"
Fu Tianyuan: "..."
"Yueyue, don't make things worse. My mind is already in enough turmoil!"
Fu Tianyuan sighed, put away his binoculars, and listlessly turned to walk down the watchtower.
Luo Yue pouted and made a face at Fu Tianyuan's back.
"My cousin is good in every way, except that he is too pessimistic."
Luo Yue walked to the railing, smiled, and waved down, "Luo Kexi~"
"Roar~~"
Roxie immediately responded with a soft growl.
Qiao Huaxi watched the interaction between the human and the leopard, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.
Luo Yue's current ability level is the same as hers, both at level seven.
However, in terms of actual combat ability, she is superior.
But if you include that leopard below that's almost level seven, then she has absolutely no chance of winning.
The combat power of the ferocious mutant beasts is simply too strong.
"When Sister An'an comes back, you can ask her to buy one too~"
Luo Yue didn't miss the envy in Qiao Huaxi's eyes, and turned to talk to her.
Qiao Huaxi smiled but didn't say anything.
Because of the relationship between Brother Nanchuan and his brothers, Jiang Nian'an would definitely give it to her directly.
However, considering their relationship, it's rather shameless of her to receive such a huge benefit from the other party for nothing.
So the best way is to keep quiet.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Luo Yue didn't respond either.
Although her impression of Qiao Huaxi had improved a lot, they weren't exactly inseparable or close friends.
"Sis, Commander Song is looking for you!"
Qiao Xingyang's voice came from below.
"They're here!"
Qiao Huaxi and Luo Yue nodded slightly, then quickly walked down to the watchtower.
Luo Yue leaned on the railing and stayed there with Chen Yang for a while longer.
It wasn't until the sun was setting and her stomach started to rumble that she pulled Chen Yang down from the watchtower and returned to the Luo family's encampment for dinner.
The Luo family's encampment was right next to the Shen family's, and at this moment, a rich aroma of food wafted from both houses.
"I wonder when my brother will arrive?"
Luo Yue held a bowl of hot soup and sipped it slowly, her gaze fixed on the direction of Beijing.
"It'll be soon, it should arrive by noon tomorrow at the latest."
If they're a little faster, you might see him as soon as you open your eyes tomorrow morning.
Chen Yang, also holding a bowl of hot soup, smiled and said.
"Then I'll go to bed early tonight, hoping to see my brother as soon as I open my eyes tomorrow."
Luo Yue quickly blew on the bowl and drank it in big gulps.
As midnight approached, the island was nearly devoid of vegetation, but the ashes on the ground grew thicker and thicker.
The sea breeze, carrying a biting chill, howled across the empty island, raising clouds of dust.
Jiang Nian'an and the others had no choice but to stay inside the tent to avoid being engulfed in the flying ash.
'Buzz—'
As dawn broke, starting from the center of the island, the air suddenly began to ripple outwards in concentric circles, visible to the naked eye.
Jiang Nian'an and the others were all startled awake and quickly came out of the tent.
At the center of the ripples, Xiao Zi floated in a huge, dark green ball of light that was so dense it was almost black.
The few remaining plants on the island quickly withered, and wisps of wood-based energy flowed into the ball of light.
"Sister, I'm a little short on energy, please help me!"
