Chapter 504 When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?
Chi Yanzhou's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Nannan, Ashu, confirm if the zombies are all coming from the main gate?"
Shi Xu: "Received!"
Lu Nange closed her eyes, fully unleashing her spiritual power. A moment later, she opened her eyes.
"That's right, they're all heading towards the main gate!"
A brief static sound came from the walkie-talkie.
"Understood." The next second, Chi Yanzhou's voice was transmitted through the base's public channel to the walkie-talkies in all areas of Flameheart.
"Attention all personnel—enemy forces have been confirmed to be concentrating their assault on the main gate area!"
Repeatedly, the main force of the zombie horde was concentrated in the area around the main gate of the base!
All ordinary survivors should immediately and orderly enter the underground shelter according to the emergency plan!
All outposts shall operate according to the defensive deployment from the previous night! Ensure that personnel at each outpost have sufficient ammunition!
Except for those essential to remain on duty, all remaining ability users must assemble at the main gate's defensive wall! Hurry!
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a series of responses came through the walkie-talkie.
"First squad received! On their way to the gate!"
"All personnel at Outpost No. 5 are in position!"
"Sentry from Watchtower Seven...!"
"Outpost number three reporting...!"
"Received, on its way! Expected to arrive at the main gate in three minutes!"
The sounds were short, forceful, and tense.
Footsteps and wheels mingled together, creating a tense atmosphere like a taut bowstring, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder...
Meanwhile, in all survivor bases within the city of Kyoto, everyone was watching the scene unfolding in mid-air.
Inside the Zefeng Base.
"The number and level of these zombies... Flameheart's chances are slim this time." As he said this, a hint of relief unconsciously flickered in the man's eyes...
"idiot!"
An elderly man with gray hair suddenly slammed his hand on the table, making the teacups on the solid wood tabletop tremble.
He pointed at the screen and shouted angrily, "What are you gloating about? Huh?!"
The man was startled and opened his mouth to explain, "Dad..."
But the old man scolded him harshly: "What father? You're over forty years old. Don't you understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?"
Today it's Flameheart, tomorrow it could be any one of our bases! If even Flameheart can't withstand this wave—what do you think our chances of holding out are?
The man's face turned deathly pale, his lips moved a few times, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"Deployed once every 24 hours. If they concentrate their attacks on one point like this every time, even the strongest base can't withstand it."
If we fight alone, we'll only end up being picked off one by one. We can't just stand by and watch; we have to go help!
"Yes, we need to help!" someone immediately echoed.
"If Flameheart falls, we might be the next ones to suffer! We must unite!"
"If we concentrate our strength and fight alongside Flameheart, there might still be hope of victory!"
Similar debates and resolutions were being played out almost simultaneously at various large bases in Beijing.
Fear breeds short-sighted wishful thinking, but a deeper sense of crisis and the instinct for survival have made more and more people see the only way out—unity.
Starlight Base...
Si Sheng stood on the high platform in the base square, below him was a dark mass of Starlight Survivors gathered together.
"Everyone saw it! This isn't about Flameheart Base; it's aimed at all of us who are still alive! When the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?"
He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.
"I have decided that all non-combat personnel must immediately enter the underground shelter!"
To the brothers who are willing to stay and protect the base, I, Si Sheng, thank you. Your mission is to ensure the safety of the shelter and the core facilities of the base!
As for me, and all the Starburst Ability users who are willing to fight for the survival of more people—we will set off immediately to aid Flameheart!
This journey could be fraught with peril, and my fate is uncertain. Therefore, this time, I will not force anyone!
Those who are willing to come with me, step forward! Those who choose to stay, protecting our base, will also have an honor!
Before he could finish speaking, a tall figure stepped forward without hesitation and stood beside him—it was Jin Xiao.
"Base Commander, I'll go with you!"
Lin Shuang: "Base Commander, damn it! If we're still worrying about our own gains and losses at a time like this, we're doomed! We have to stick together and fight to the death to have any chance of survival!"
"Wow!"
"Count me in! Damn it, let's fight them!"
"I'm going too!"
More and more people stepped out from the crowd and stood in front of Si Sheng.
Looking at the faces of those who had chosen to face danger side by side, Si Sheng felt his chest fill with a surge of intense emotion.
He didn't say anything more grand or ambitious; he simply waved his hand.
"Those willing to go, get ready and assemble at the parking lot within five minutes! Let's go—Flameheart!"
......
The wind swept in from the depths of the wilderness, carrying sand and a faint stench of decay, as it passed over the highest watchtower at the main gate of the Flameheart Base.
Lu Nange and her group stood by the railing, their clothes fluttering in the wind.
Lu Nange closed her eyes, her hair dancing wildly in the wind, her mental energy extending to the area beyond the wall.
On the distant horizon, vehicles are rapidly approaching...
“There are about three hundred.” She opened her eyes, her voice calm.
Lu Xici stared at the huge electronic screen in the sky.
On the screen, the scarlet countdown was still ticking, and his eyes were fixed on the delivery categories below...
"According to the proportions written in that damn thing, we are facing... three level eight zombies, twenty-seven level seven zombies, and sixty level six zombies."
The remaining two hundred or so were all high-level zombies, level four and five.
He Zhuo spat angrily: "Damn, three level eight zombies? And twenty-seven level seven zombies came all at once? How are we supposed to fight this?"
Gu Qi: "The number of high-level ability users in our base has increased significantly recently, so we might not be unable to win!"
"The zombies are all near the front gate. We can't let them rush to the base of the gate... Once the wall is breached, Flameheart will be in trouble."
Lu Nange paused, then suddenly quickened her pace: "We must keep them outside the shield wall—out of that open space!"
Ah Ye, Sister Xingyou, Brother Zhuo, Brother Xian... Now, bring all the level four and above earth and metal ability users from the base...
She pointed to the open area that had been fenced off in front of the base gate.
There, six shields, layered with metal and earth elements, had been erected, guarding and protecting the Flameheart Gate...
"Pull those six layers of shield wall higher! Make them at least five meters higher than the sentry post we're standing on now!"
The top needs to be secure, able to hold people, and resistant to impact... Let's move everything up there and push the first line of defense to the outermost edge!
"Okay, sister!"
"Understood, Nan Nan!!"
"Leave Meibao to us!"
