"Ah, Ah Zhan, what are those things down there...?" Xiao Jing asked uncertainly, looking at the densely packed dark figures below.
"As you can see, they are all mutated beasts, but some of them are poisonous. Although being bitten will not kill you, it will still give you a lot of trouble. Of course, this is effective against people with superpowers. Ordinary people will not be able to do this and will soon turn into corpses."
The three of them were about to say something more when they heard screams from below.
Although a bite wouldn't be fatal, what if they were devoured by a mutated beast? It was just too damn bloody. Even though they were used to killing zombies, the three of them felt nauseous at the sight.
"Ah Zhan, can we leave now? These supplies are really hard to get, it's killing us!"
"Wait a minute, this time it's not just the National Security team, there are other bases nearby waiting to pick up the scraps. Let's wait until they all make their moves before we go and grab the scraps."
"Listen to you, going down now would be suicide."
Seeing the chaotic battle below, with people dead and wounded, Mo Han was even more confused. He hurriedly directed the packing of supplies to make a run for it. He thought that so many superhumans had already died, and if the supplies couldn't be brought back, this trip would be really hard to end.
But when he tried to run, the mutated beasts behind him kept chasing him.
They threw their firearms around like they were free, and many were visibly killed, but the National Security Base suffered the most heavy losses.
As they fled, taking some mutated beasts with them, people from other bases came out and began killing the remaining mutated beasts.
But those people completely miscalculated, because there were just too many of them; even firearms couldn't kill these monsters unless they hit them in the eyes.
As Zhan Siyu watched the superhumans dying below, he felt a chill in his heart. Even knowing the outcome, seeing their gruesome deaths still made him feel uneasy.
Thinking about how he escaped death in his past life, he was really lucky.
Mo Han was the unluckiest one. He led 200 superhumans on a mission, but the supplies were insufficient and nearly half of the superhumans were lost. With many mutated beasts following behind him and his firearms about to run out of ammunition, he was extremely anxious.
However, this scene was witnessed by the people left behind at the station. When Mo Han passed by their encampment and saw the hordes of mutated beasts, they all covered their mouths in fright, afraid of being discovered by those things. No wonder the captain didn't let them pass. This was not just dangerous, it was something even American blockbusters wouldn't dare to portray. If they were targeted, they would be lucky to escape with their lives. I wonder how the captain and the others are doing.
Once the large number of animals were out of sight, Zhan Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his brow. It was truly terrifying. At least with zombies, they could put up a fight, but these creatures were rarely seen, and their weaknesses were completely unknown. In particular, the animals' attack speed was simply too fast, giving them no time to react.
Zhan Siyu had already anticipated this scene, since it was the only way back to the city. He wanted to show others that the apocalypse wasn't just about zombies; there were many unknown creatures as well.
While other bases were fighting off the mutated beasts, Nan Xiangwan suddenly discovered that Zhou Muyang and Li Jie were also there.
It seems this batch of supplies is quite attractive.
"Zhan, two little shrimps have appeared. Do you think we should start collecting some interest?"
Upon hearing his wife's words, Zhan Siyu looked down and, upon seeing Xiangyang and the other two, said with a slight smirk, "We don't need to lift a finger. They'll suffer on their own. These little guys are incredibly difficult to deal with. These people really don't take them seriously at all. After this battle, these bases will be severely weakened, and we'll reap the benefits in the end."
Xiao Jing hadn't expected Zhan Siyu to be so ruthless. If it weren't for his brother's intelligence, it would have been hard to say whether the 30 people they brought would have made it back alive. He still had goosebumps all over his body.
As time passed, there was basically no one left down there; some were dead, and some had fled.
Of course, Zhou Muyang and his group also suffered heavy losses; in fact, they gained nothing and were essentially just throwing their lives away.
The same applies to other bases.
However, after the battlefield quieted down, the sun was about to set. Zhan Siyu glanced down and said, "Let's go back first and come back tomorrow. There are still some mutated animals inside, but not many. We'll bring people over to collect supplies first thing tomorrow morning."
"Okay, it's definitely not safe at night, and I'm starving now."
Afterwards, before the sun had completely set, the three rode their motorcycles back to their temporary encampment.
When the South Station Squad saw that their captain had finally returned alive, they were all extremely grateful.
At this moment, Liu Yang, the deputy captain under Xiao Jing, came over and asked, "Are you alright? What exactly happened today? This afternoon, we saw the National Security officers running away like stray dogs, chased by a group of animals. We were so scared that we didn't dare to make a sound."
Xiao Jing lit a cigarette and said casually, "You guys are smart. If those mutated beasts had found you, you would have been in serious trouble, if not dead. We watched the battle for several hours this afternoon. Almost half of the base's ability users who came here were killed or wounded. It was a terrible situation. I really can't understand how they could be so stupid. Our team is much smarter. We can go and collect supplies first thing tomorrow morning."
After hearing Xiao Jing's words, everyone else felt like they had escaped a disaster.
"Alright, I'm hungry. Arrange for someone to cook. After you eat, get some rest, especially you four space ability users. We'll need you to pack supplies tomorrow. How can you work if you're not in good spirits?"
"Yes, we will get some rest."
When Zhan Si saw them take out pots and pans, he didn't hesitate and handed them two pork ribs, saying, "I've made them all. Have a good meal, and when we get back, each of you will get a bottle of baijiu as a reward."
"Okay, thanks, Captain."
After a lively dinner, Nan Xiang ate a little and went next door to find a place to rest. He had to admire Xiao Jing; he had found a really good place. Apart from being a bit dusty, everything was clean.
After a short rest overnight, Zhan Siyu led everyone to the place from the previous day at the crack of dawn.
"Everyone, grab your weapons. There are still some mutated beasts inside that haven't been cleared out. You need to aim carefully when you shoot. Their weak point is their eyes; shooting anywhere else won't work."
"Yes, we understand."
"Well, don't worry, there's not much left. Yesterday, people from other bases cleared this place out. Once we've completely cleaned it up, we can collect supplies and then expand the base again when we get back."
After hearing Zhan Siyu's words, everyone immediately perked up. They had to complete the mission; otherwise, their trip would have been in vain.
