The macaw that was attacking Yu Ren and his group immediately abandoned its target, quickly swooped down, and stopped in front of the two.
"Take us to the very back!"
"Yes, my beauty!"
Lu Nange and Chi Yanzhou each grabbed one of Gangzi's claws. Gangzi let out a loud cry, its wings flapped violently, and it soared into the sky with the two of them.
The macaw carried the two people as it flew toward the two level-eight zombies.
......
Inside the Flameheart Base, the moment the first gunshot ripped through the night sky, the entire base seemed to boil over as if a stone had been thrown into a lake.
Grandpa Chi and his group of elders were drinking tea in the courtyard when they heard the gunshot. Shi's mother's teacup slammed onto the stone table.
Grandpa Chi suddenly stood up: "They're here!"
Grandpa Shi strode towards the door, acting nothing like a man in his sixties: "Judging from the sound, it's coming from the front door!"
Aunt Gu: "Grandpa, let's go and meet him too!"
"Let's go!" Old Master Chi waved his hand. "Let the young people see that we old bones can still fight!"
Meanwhile, people were standing in front of all the dormitories in Flameheart.
The people were disheveled, their faces still showing signs of sleepiness, but their eyes were unusually clear.
"The direction of the gate..." A young man clenched his fist: "Should we go help?"
The older woman next to us said worriedly, "But...won't we just make things worse? In a battle between superpowered individuals, we're either low-level superpowered individuals or ordinary people..."
"What are you afraid of! Let's go ask the guards nearby! This afternoon, Miss Lu and her group set up high ground along the walls. We can use firearms and arrows... for ranged attacks!"
These words immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the crowd.
"I've practiced archery since I was a child! I can hit a target from a hundred paces away!"
A woman held up a hunting rifle: "I can use this! It's a pretty good shot!"
The construction workers at the base rolled up their sleeves, showing off their muscular physiques: "We're strong enough to move ammunition!"
More and more people are responding: "I can do logistics!"
"I know first aid!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, "What are we waiting for? There's strength in numbers! Let's go!"
At this moment, all the survivors of Flameheart spontaneously organized themselves.
Some were carrying kitchen knives, some iron bars, some hunting rifles... and they surged towards the various defensive positions...
Upon seeing this, Deputy Captain Wu on patrol quickly stopped the group: "What are you doing?"
"Deputy Captain Wu!" the middle-aged man in the lead said excitedly.
"We can't just watch Captain Chi and Miss Lu fight on the front lines because they're strong! We need to do our part too!"
"That's right, Flameheart is our home! We can protect it together!"
Deputy Captain Wu said with difficulty, "But Captain Chi and the others specifically instructed us not to wander around unless absolutely necessary..."
"Deputy Captain Wu! Look, the walls are all high vantage points. We can hit the enemy with arrows, stones, darts, and guns!"
"We can take the elderly and children to help with bandaging... In case any superhumans get injured and the healing staff can't keep up, we've all learned basic bandaging techniques!"
A chorus of voices rose from the crowd: "We can help!"
Let's do our part!
At this moment, there is no distinction between those with superpowers and ordinary people, no difference between the strong and the weak.
Everyone wants to contribute their own way to protecting this hard-won home in the apocalypse.
They may not have powerful superpowers, but their determination to protect their homeland turns each of them into a fearless warrior.
