Outside the Flameheart Base, the stench was so strong it gave people a headache.
The air was thick with the smoky smell of burning meat, and beneath it lingered a metallic, bloody stench...
Where hundreds of zombies were just moments ago jumping around, now only scattered fragments remain.
Arms and legs lay scattered haphazardly, the charred torso smoldering, blood seeping into the earth and forming blackened, sticky puddles...
Amidst this mess, Zhizhi and Chi Yi manipulated the vines as if they had eyes, specifically targeting the zombies' heads.
One by one, the crystal cores were rolled out and piled up at Lu Nange's feet.
At this moment, Lu Nange sat on a folding chair, Wen Qing holding her hand, a gentle, soothing, pale green energy flowing between them...
The wind was strong on the wall. Lu Beiye, Lu Xici, Shi Xu, Luo Xingyou, Gu Wan and others surrounded the two.
Seeing that Lu Nange's complexion was gradually recovering, Chi Yanzhou walked towards the edge of the shield, looked down at the convoy gathered outside the wall, and picked up the megaphone.
"Thank you... thank you all for traveling through the night, knowing that the road ahead is fraught with danger, yet still coming without hesitation! We at Flameheart will remember this kindness!"
A mixed but equally enthusiastic response erupted from outside the wall: "Captain Chi, you're too kind!"
"We're all Chinese, you can't say things like that!"
Chi Yanzhou paused slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the giant screen floating in the sky, his voice suddenly rising.
"As you all saw... our Flameheart team managed to win a match by sheer luck!"
Let that cowardly rat hiding in the gutter see clearly that we are living, breathing human beings, not ants to be manipulated at will!
"Captain Chi, you're right, we're not ants!"
"Yeah, fucking bastards!"
"That cowardly little thing, I'm not afraid of it!"
"No matter how many come today, we'll wipe them all out!"
There was an uproar outside the wall.
Some people raised their fists, while others stuck their heads out of the car windows and shouted at the top of their lungs. The anger that had been building up all the way, mixed with the madness of surviving a disaster, burned so intensely that it made people's eyes water.
Several seasoned veterans who had come from other bases even pulled out half a bottle of liquor that they had been hiding for who knows how long, tilted their heads back and took a swig, cursing and laughing at the same time.
Chi Yanzhou let them shout for a few seconds before raising his hand and pressing down, and the area outside the wall gradually quieted down.
Chi Yanzhou changed the subject: "But... having dampened their spirits, they will never give up. The next wave of 'support' is probably already on its way."
The area in front of us is full of zombie corpses... so please wait in the vehicle for a moment! We'll clear a path and bring you in!
"No problem, Captain Chi!"
"Don't worry, Captain Chi, we'll follow your instructions!"
The teams responded with understanding and support; there was no urging, no questioning, only trust.
Chi Yanzhou put down the megaphone and looked at the ability users in Yanxin: "He Zhuo, Ji Xian, Shi Xu, Gu Wan... lead our people to retreat to both sides of the wall and clear a space."
Quickly check the injuries. Use crystal cores to restore those whose superpowers are exhausted, and let the healers treat the more serious injuries first.
Those who can't hold on any longer should retreat back to base. We...still have tough battles to fight.
"Received!" the four replied in unison, taking the low-level crystal cores that Lu Nange had taken out in advance and heading towards the Flameheart Ability User.
He Zhuo: "Family members of Yan Xin, did you all hear that? Let's move to the side, those who are injured, raise your hands! Those whose superpowers are almost depleted, come and get your crystal cores!"
The crowd quickly sprang into action, and although exhausted, they maintained order.
Chi Yanzhou turned to Lu Xici: "Brother Ci, you stay and watch over Nannan."
