Chapter 511 Ants... Good luck to you all.
Sure enough, the next second...
Lu Beiye: "My sister said I'm still young and haven't grown taller yet. I... will be taller than you sooner or later! Even if I don't grow taller, you really can't beat me!"
Lu Xici... [Intended to hurt each other, but ended up humiliating himself! My own brother, my own flesh and blood!!!]
He squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "...Okay, you're good."
Lu Nange pulled out a tissue and wiped the sweat from Lu Beiye's forehead.
Lu Beiye tilted his head back and let his sister wipe his sweat. His little temper from before vanished instantly, his eyes crinkled, and his voice softened: "Sister!"
Lu Xici curled her lips in disapproval: "At such a young age, the speed at which your expression changes is too fast!"
"Nan Nan." Chi Yanzhou walked over.
Lu Nange turned to him: "Brother Yan, after all the vehicles are parked, we need to hurry up and burn these zombie corpses..."
We have no idea how many zombies the enemy will send this time, or what level they will be.
Just in case, should we seal off the entire Flame Core, or should we move the entire pre-planned battlefield forward?
When Grandpa Chi and his elders came from the other side, their footsteps mingled with the tapping sound of Grandpa Chi's cane on the ground.
The elders' faces did indeed show signs of weariness, but their backs were straighter than flagpoles on a wall, and their eyes were as sharp as if they had been slashed by a knife.
Old Master Chi walked closer and first glanced at the pile of corpses still smoking under the wall: "Nan Nan is right."
This wall is our last line of defense. We can't put all our hopes on it. We need to retreat a bit further and create a buffer zone.
Even if...that lurking thing really got angry and threw over a dozen or twenty level seven or eight monsters, it wouldn't necessarily destroy the base.
"grandfather..."
"Grandpa Chi, Grandpa Shi..."
Grandpa Chi waved his hand, his white eyebrows furrowing slightly: "We're fine! These old bones haven't fallen apart yet!"
"We can hold on, and we can help! Don't always worry about us old folks! You should be building walls and setting up defenses! The important things come first!"
Grandpa Shi nodded emphatically beside him, slamming his cane on the ground with a dull thud, as if to express his agreement.
Chi Yanzhou did not respond.
He knew the old men's temper; saying anything more at this point would be superfluous.
His gaze shifted and landed on Chi Yi: "Chi Yi!"
“Yes!” Chi Yi immediately stepped forward.
Chi Yanzhou: "Notify all personnel on duty at the base's outposts that all individuals with level two or lower superpowers must immediately return to the base!"
All high-level superhumans, gather here and await orders!
The Level 2 ability users who were withdrawn from the base have been assigned specific tasks: primarily responsible for patrolling and guarding the base area and maintaining order!
Their core responsibility is to ensure the safety of all the elderly, children, and the injured at all costs!
"clear!"
"Wait a minute." Chi Yanzhou called out to Chi Yi, who was about to turn around, and turned his gaze to his grandfather and several elders, his tone becoming more solemn.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Shi, and all the aunties." He paused.
“Inside the base, relying solely on level two ability users is definitely not enough.”
It requires experience and someone who can keep things under control.
Therefore, I would like to ask you all to join me in guarding the rear.
Grandpa Chi and Grandpa Shi exchanged a glance.
The two old buddies didn't speak, but their eyes exchanged something only they understood.
The women, including Mrs. He, who had come along, remained silent...
A few seconds later, Old Master Chi spoke first: "Alas... I'm old and useless now. I can't help you young people with the things you risked your lives for back then..."
Lu Nange: "Grandpa! You are the 'pillars of stability' for our entire Flame Heart."
With you all staying home, we can focus wholeheartedly and charge forward without hesitation!
Lu Beiye, held in Lu Xici's arms, nodded vigorously: "Yes! Sister is right! Grandpa, you guys are amazing! With you guarding the house, we're not afraid at all!"
Grandpa Chi: "Alright. We old folks will take care of the house."
He turned his gaze to Chi Yanzhou and Lu Nange's group: "Don't worry, we're here at home! We're waiting for you to come back."
Chi Yanzhou, Lu Nange, Lu Beiye, Lu Xici... the group nodded.
The elders walked to the back, and Lu Beiye blinked.
"Sister, Brother Yan, I'll go call Sister Xingyou, Brother Zhuo, and Brother Xian right now!"
"Bring all the metal and earth elemental ability users from our base. Grandpa and the others are at home. We need to completely seal off the outer perimeter of the base and reinforce it with our abilities!"
Once the convoy is all parked, you can dispose of the bodies and prepare for cremation, and we'll finish reinforcing the defenses. Then we can move the battlefield forward without wasting any time!
Chi Yanzhou: "Thank you for your hard work, Aye."
"Mmm!" Lu Beiye responded, then patted Lu Xici, who was still hugging him, "Brother, put me down..."
Lu Xici clicked her tongue, tightened her arms, and instead of letting go, lifted him up a little higher and adjusted her holding position.
"You little... little kid, running around like that, how much time are you wasting? Let me carry you! It'll be faster!"
Lu Beiye: [Don't think that just because I packed up quickly I didn't know you were going to call me short-legged, hmph!]
Seeing the fine sweat on Lu Xici's forehead, she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Lu Beiye put his arm around Lu Xici's neck, gave a muffled "oh," and waved his little hand at Lu Nange and Chi Yanzhou.
As noon approached, the sun grew increasingly intense, and the air became scorching hot.
Sunlight leaked down from the edge of the giant curtain in the sky, cut into dazzling beams that slanted down on the walls, the ground, and everyone.
In the light and shadow, shadowy figures moved about, their sweat pouring down their faces.
Once Grandpa Chi and his entourage of elders stood on the ground of Flameheart, Lu Beiye, Luo Xingyou, Ji Xian, and He Zhuo immediately sprang into action...
They brought along the metal and earth elemental ability users of Flameheart and began to "lock" Flameheart up.
The pale golden power and the earthy yellow energy complemented each other, layering, reinforcing, and sealing the inner and outer bases of the tall shield wall.
Ultimately, the entire Flameheart base was completely encased in a "shell" constructed using their supernatural abilities, leaving only a few small square observation ports and some tiny ventilation holes above the shield on the rear side.
Through the square observation port, you can still see the giant electronic screen that is still suspended in the sky.
If the situation becomes critical, Grandpa Chi and the others can use their metal and earth elemental abilities to completely seal off the opening, turning Flame Heart into a truly airtight "iron can".
After doing all this, Lu Beiye and his group immediately headed towards the front line of defense where Lu Nange and Chi Yanzhou were located.
When they arrived, all the vehicles from various bases that had come to provide support were already neatly parked in the open space in front of the Flameheart Gate.
The people in the car had already disembarked and joined the Flameheart ability user.
The battlefield that was previously filled with zombie corpses has now been almost completely cleared.
Gu Wan, leading a group of fire-type ability users, was carrying out the final incineration.
Gu Wan: "Brother, He Zhuo, Ji Xian... wrap it up!"
Gu Qi controlled the water jets to extinguish the fire, while He Zhuo and Ji Xian unleashed their earth-based powers.
The ground began to roll and writhe violently.
The embers were swept underground, and fresh, damp soil was churned up from deeper within, covering the surface...
In just a few breaths, the battlefield, which was once ablaze with flames and littered with corpses, was now covered by a patch of freshly turned, level brown soil.
Lu Beiye and Luo Xingyou have also retrieved the two metal ramps and resealed the tops.
Just as everyone began to advance orderly along the top towards the front, the image of the Flame Core Base, which occupied the center in the sky, suddenly shrank and receded, becoming one of countless segmented images.
And even more images appeared on the screen!
Each frame contains a similar yet different scene.
A large horde of zombies is approaching in all directions...
The images constantly switch and refresh, starkly presenting the crises that are unfolding or about to erupt around the world to everyone.
The cold, emotionless synthesized electronic voice once again pierced the eardrums of everyone who looked up.
"I'm not happy with the start. Well then, you ants... good luck!"
