"Should we continue defending the city, sis? Besides the base squad, there are only three of us left!"
Lin Yu frowned with worry as he looked at the few people with superpowers.
Although they are all very powerful, they are powerless against the onslaught of countless zombies!
Lin Anran understood her younger brother's meaning, and she had no intention of becoming a free henchman for the base.
Currently, the number of zombies is still increasing, and even some low-level mutated zombies have begun to appear. If high-level zombies with independent consciousness appear in this group, then they will be no match for them.
As long as the zombies outside the city can't get into the base, there won't be a problem for the time being. But how did the zombies inside the base get in?
In her past life, she was forced to lead away half of the zombies, and she didn't remember much after that, only that the base returned to peace after a week.
"Xiaoyu! You and Uncle Luo go back to Area C first and take good care of the children and the elderly. Anian and I will go check on things!"
This happened inexplicably. Now even the base is unsafe, and with everyone in a state of panic, no one dares to go out and kill zombies.
Lin's father sternly refused the arrangement, saying, "I don't agree, Ranran, unless I go with you."
"Yes, baby~, it's safer if we go with you."
Without saying a word, Lin Yu and Gu Chen also wanted to follow.
Want to shake off these tagalongs? No way!
Lin Anran was helpless; it was difficult to get rid of either of them. She crossed her arms and looked indifferent.
"Alright then! You guys come with me! Anyway, Little Flower and the others don't need protection, they're such pitiful little girls!"
The group hesitated and stopped. If anyone knew how to manipulate their psychology best, it was their precious daughter.
"Then forget it, we won't go. Anyway, Xiao Nian is here! We don't need to worry about your dad."
Lin's mother resolutely saw the two off and turned to walk towards Section C.
The zombie outbreak at the base had already caused quite a stir in the points redemption center's office.
The deputy base commander was timid and cowardly, and dared not even leave his office, which had long aroused resentment among the people.
Before the apocalypse, he was just a minor official, but his home was very close to the base. He donated enough resources before being recommended to become the deputy base commander.
The base commander had disappeared two months ago and there had been no news of him. Meng Dongcheng, as the deputy base commander, quickly won over the people and seized real power.
So many days of revelry had left him with no way out, but thankfully, as long as Su Xing continued to protect him, no one would dare to touch him!
Thinking of the man in the basement, Meng Dongcheng's eyes narrowed into slits, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
We're almost there!
"Deputy base commander! You have to step in! The situation is tense. If you don't step in to stabilize morale, our base will surely be lost to the zombie horde."
"Yes! Deputy Base Commander, please, I beg you to intervene!"
"The zombies have now infiltrated the base through some means, and everyone is panicking. If we don't stand together, and everyone is just trying to protect themselves, this place will eventually be overrun."
Each word pressed Meng Dongcheng in his seat, his face turning ashen and his eyes flashing coldly.
What a bunch of idiots! They actually have the nerve to pressure him now!
"You're all trying to figure something out for me now, and I'm providing you with everything you need! But when it really comes down to it, you want to push me out to take the fall? Who gave you the guts to do that?!"
Everyone blushed, daring not to speak out against their anger.
At this moment, the quiet office door opened from the outside.
Meng Jingyin looked at the tense crowd with a gentle smile, "Uncles and elders are all here! I just made some pear soup, you can try it too."
She seemed oblivious to the cold atmosphere, her face full of understanding as she picked up the cups and handed them out one by one.
“Jingyin knows that things are chaotic outside, and her uncles, elders, and father are all worried about this, but we can’t let things outside ruin our harmony.”
Seeing everyone's attention focused on her, she continued gently, "Moreover, in this emergency, we should work together to find a solution instead of blaming each other. What's done is done, and there's always a way out."
If everyone works together, we're sure we can come up with a perfect solution, don't you think, Dad?
Meng Dongcheng's expression softened slightly as he slowly spoke, "Xiao Yin is right. With such serious external threats, we should be even less prone to internal chaos."
After everyone drank some pear juice, their complexions improved.
"Yes! We need to think of a foolproof solution now, instead of just arguing."
"We must first stabilize public morale and get them to voluntarily join the zombie-killing team. We also need to find the breach in the base and figure out how those zombies got in."
"Yes! Yes! So what should we do now?"
Seeing that the time was right, Meng Jingyin stood behind her father and slowly said, "Jingyin has a plan, but I don't know if it will work!"
"Xiaoyin! Tell us! Let your uncles and elders listen and see if it works!"
Meng Jingyin's eyes were dark, and although her face still held a hint of gentleness, her words were icy cold.
"The biggest reason why the zombies are besieging the city is because they smelled the food in the city. As long as there is other food that can lure them away, we can get rid of most of the zombies!"
As for the zombies in the city, they must have entered through some hole. We just need to find that hole and stop them at the source.
Furthermore, by sincerely persuading the superhumans who are hiding at home, and getting everyone involved, the city will return to normal in just a few days.
*Smack! Smack! Smack!*
Applause erupted, and everyone excitedly stood up. How come they hadn't thought of this idea!
"As expected of a graduate from a top-tier school, Xiaoyin is incredibly smart!"
"Yes! Yes! I agree with that suggestion."
"We agree!"
Meng Dongcheng was utterly amazed by his daughter's beauty. He smiled and said, "Since everyone agrees on this method, let's implement it now."
Shortly after, the base's loudspeaker blared again.
"Urgent notice! Urgent notice! Hello everyone! I am Meng Dongcheng, the deputy base commander. It is unfortunate that I am meeting you under these circumstances. Our base is currently facing a huge crisis."
It is with great sadness that I announce some bad news: the base is very likely to fall in a few days. Therefore, I, Meng, urge everyone to stand up, unite, and work together to protect our safe haven.
"Urgent notice! Urgent notice! Hello everyone! I am..."
Perhaps the broadcast had an effect, because the number of zombies wandering around the base decreased significantly throughout the day.
