Chapter 508 Some Old Friends...
The giant screen in the sky projected the bloody battle outside the Flameheart Base into every corner of the world in real time...
At this moment, no matter which base, which corner of the ruins, or which underground bunker you are in...
The survivors who could still see the sky held their breath, their eyes glued to the first battle that would determine whether humanity could survive the so-called "game."
"My god...this Flameheart Base is too powerful!"
"That little girl...did you see her? She took down two level eight zombies all by herself!"
"Am I seeing things? That guy who fought the level eight zombie has dual level eight abilities?"
"That kid!" Someone pointed to a corner of the screen, showing Lu Beiye controlling golden threads to strangle a level seven wind-type zombie.
"He killed a level seven monster! Good heavens... are kids these days all this powerful?"
"It's not that the kids are scary, it's that these guys are incredibly strong! Look at their teamwork...it's amazing!"
"Hundreds of high-level zombies... Level 4 and 5 zombies are everywhere, there are quite a few Level 6 and 7 zombies, and there are even three Level 8 zombies... and they're actually overwhelming us! They're too strong!"
On the watchtower of a medium-sized survivor base in Nanshi.
A woman with short, neat hair was gripping the railing tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
She stared at the figure on the screen, her lips moving slightly: "Miss Lu..."
"Boss, do you know him?" a teammate asked in surprise.
The woman nodded: "Yes. Without her, I wouldn't be who I am today."
A middle-aged man not far away turned his head to look at the woman: "Du Ning, do you know them?"
"Uncle Qiangzi?" Du Ning turned around, somewhat surprised. "You know him too?"
Uncle Qiangzi nodded: "I've dealt with them before, back when the apocalypse had just begun. They were a group of... remarkable young people."
Similar conversations were taking place simultaneously at several survivor bases that had previously interacted with Lu Nange and her group.
Ning City—"Mouse! Mouse, look! It's Big Sister! It's Big Sister and the others! They're still alive!!"
Mouse's eyes were red and swollen: "It really is them... Brother Da, that's great... that's great! I knew my brothers were really strong!"
Quzhou City—Liu Ning pointed at Luo Xingyou's dashing figure wielding the golden blade on the screen, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Fei Tian! Look! It's Sister Xingyou! And Miss Lu! It's them! They've arrived in Beijing!"
Fei Tian also showed an expression of mixed shock and relief: "As expected... only they could be in an advantageous position in this situation..."
Chiayi City—"Mom! Mom, come quick!" Zhou Siyu grabbed his mother Pei Qique's arm.
Pointing to the screen showing Lu Beiye and Gangzi fighting together, his voice was full of worry and pride.
"It's Ono! And Miss Shika and the others! So many zombies...they..."
Pei Qique held her son's hand and looked at the screen: "They'll be alright. Miss Lu and the others... they always manage to create miracles."
Shunshi—Yu Xuan stood alone on the terrace, a gentle breeze ruffling her long hair.
She looked up at the giant screen in the sky, tears silently streaming down her cheeks.
“Dad…” she murmured softly, “Did you see? Miss Lu, Young Master Chi… they are still alive.”
She wiped away her tears, her eyes gradually hardening: "It's a pity you can't see it... but I will watch, I will remember, and then... I will live well."
Suzhou City—The boy tugged at his mother's sleeve and pointed at the screen!
“Yes, it’s your aunt and uncle!” Yuli said, holding Juanjuan and pointing to the figures of Lu Nange and his group on the screen.
Liu Hanhai walked over, put his thick arm around his wife's shoulder, and said in a deep voice.
"Why are you crying? They're incredibly strong! These kids and girls, do you think they can lose to those brainless idiots?"
Yuri: "Who's crying! I'm happy! I'm happy to know they're all still alive! No...!"
She looked at the intense battle on the screen, then frowned again: "This scene doesn't seem suitable for being happy..."
"What's inappropriate?" Liu Hanhai's voice was loud, attracting the attention of many people around him.
"They fought well, they fought beautifully, we should be happy! Shout it out loud—Flameheart! Go for it! Kill them!"
His shout instantly ignited the emotions of those around him.
Yes! Keep it up!
"Flameheart will prevail!"
"With Miss Lu and Young Master Chi there, there's no way we can lose! Yan Xin is guaranteed to win!"
Shouts echoed throughout the Suzhou base; people waved their fists and yelled at the screens in the sky...
It was as if their voices could penetrate the vast distance, giving Lu Nange and her group a boost of strength.
Ping City—Jiang Zhiwang squeezed to the front of the crowd, his eyes shining brightly as he stared intently at the scene on the screen.
"Sis! Sis, did you see that? It's Miss Lu and the others! They've become so strong! So strong! I...I want to go to Beijing too!"
Standing next to him, Jiang Zhian slapped his younger brother hard on the back of the head.
"Don't I want to? But what can we do besides hold everyone back? Let's improve ourselves, and when we become stronger... we'll fight side by side one day!"
Her gaze swept across the figures on the screen, finally settling on Lu Nange's cool and focused profile, and she silently clenched her fist.
......
From south to north, from east to west.
At this moment, countless survivors who had been unintentionally helped, saved, or fought alongside Lu Nange, Chi Yanzhou, and others recognized those figures who shone brightly in the battle.
Those past interactions may have been brief or insignificant.
But at this moment, when the entire world's attention is forced to focus on this so-called "game"...
When despair tried to overwhelm everyone, these figures appeared—their strength, their resilience, their teamwork...
Like the first ray of sunlight piercing through thick dark clouds, though weak, it clearly illuminates a fact: humanity has not yet lost!
There are still people fighting, and they are fighting so beautifully and so thrillingly!
Hope has never truly been extinguished.
It was just lying dormant in my heart, waiting to be rekindled by such light.
On the giant screen in the sky, the battle continues fiercely... The number of zombies is decreasing, but the fight is far from over.
Beneath the giant screen, a silent resonance is stirring and converging in the hearts of millions of survivors.
They clenched their fists, held their breath and stared intently, shouting in their hearts.
For the flame core...
And so, for that new future that may be just ahead, one that requires everyone's joint efforts to reach...
......
Outside the Flameheart Base, the ten-meter-high circular shield wall was now densely packed with people.
The light of supernatural abilities flickered on the exhausted body, while the smoke and the smell of blood rose and fell in the air.
Having gone through that hellish battle, everyone's eyes were like tempered knives—exhausted, yet sharper than ever before.
Outside the wall, only a handful of the hundreds of high-level zombies remained. The few dozen survivors were mostly mutilated, staggering and howling amidst the burning flames and scorched pits, their threat greatly reduced.
Lu Nange, Chi Yanzhou and their group remained at the forefront of the defense line.
Lu Nange's face was so pale it was almost transparent. The level eight fire-type zombie had its head smashed by her level eight mental attack, and its filthy brains were splattered all over the ground.
However, forcibly maintaining mental control over the level eight zombie... this near-limit operation brought Lu Nange's mental energy to the brink of exhaustion. It felt as if countless red-hot steel needles were churning in her mind, and her vision blurred.
She popped two Qingming pills into her mouth...
The cool medicinal power instantly dissolved, like a sweet spring flowing into her nearly dried-up mental sea, temporarily suppressing the sharp pain and allowing her consciousness to regroup.
