Chapter 86 Escape
Ultimately, Jiang Baiyue's side had more people and more firepower, giving them the upper hand, and the battle ended quickly.
Severed limbs, blood, internal organs, and debris littered the ground. The surrounding buildings were engulfed in flames, the air was thick and polluted, and even the oxygen seemed scarce.
"Go to hell!"
The muscular man held a toy-like iron soldier in his hand and threw it forcefully into the crowd of mercenaries surrounding Jiang Baiyue.
Everything is over!
If the peach blossoms wither and die, the base cannot be upgraded. Moreover, the resources in the peach blossom base are all stored in the warehouse and distributed on time every day.
Now that the base administrator is dead, he has no way out. He might not even be able to get into the base now. Hatred and despair have made his eyes bloodshot, and his mind is filled with thoughts of killing the lazy bum.
Kill her!
Jiang Baiyue teleported away from the encirclement and, once she regained her footing, she saw the iron soldier land and quickly grow to nearly three meters tall, looking down at the "dwarfs" around her.
She even had the illusion that the soldier's carved mouth curved upwards slightly.
The soldier raised his heavy sword and brought it down, the air seemingly cleaved by its speed and force.
The mercenaries rolled away to get away, but the group didn't fall into disarray; instead, they quickly launched a counterattack.
Bang bang bang bang—!
The bullet struck the metal sheet with a metallic clang, and upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the bullet had ricocheted off course.
The mercenaries groaned.
Jiang Baiyue threw a fireball, and the soldier turned his head stiffly, but quickly intercepted the fireball with his heavy sword.
The fireball could not ignite the soldier, and even the intense heat could not melt his heavy sword.
Jiang Baiyue immediately went to collect the resource boxes dropped by the Red Demon Giant Scorpion and the severely injured and struggling little scorpions on the ground around it.
The muscular man, seeing the helpless woman lying on the ground in disgrace, was extremely excited: "Hahaha! Kill her! Kill her!"
Jiang Baiyue raised the double-arrow crossbow with her left hand, and fired two arrows. The sound of sharp weapons slicing through flesh followed immediately, and then the sound of items falling to the ground was heard.
Knowing what was going on, she stopped paying attention to the muscular man and focused her attention on the soldier.
The soldiers' attack was not over. Two junior mercenaries were wounded and withdrew from the center of the battle to treat their wounds with bandages.
"retreat!"
Defeating the prop soldiers offers no benefit, and besides, there might be others lurking nearby.
The mercenaries immediately abandoned their attack and covered Jiang Baiyue's escape.
After the two sides created some distance between them, the prop soldiers stopped chasing and began attacking the surrounding zombies.
Jiang Baiyue took out her alarm clock and checked the time; it was already past 5 PM.
Thinking that there was still something to deal with regarding Lin Chi, Jiang Baiyue didn't delay any longer and immediately rushed back to the base.
...
"There's a base here! Let's go in quickly!"
"Run! Hang in there! Once you get to the base, you'll be fine!"
A group of people were being chased by more than a dozen tall, helmeted zombies.
The last old man, his face flushed, saw the base gate. His eyes lit up and widened. Then, a foul-smelling, scalding mouth was shoved over his head, and his muffled cries for help were drowned out by the sound of bones shattering.
A group of people felt hot blood splattering on their backs and heads, and were filled with fear, unable to control themselves and screaming to vent their terror.
The one at the very front finally reached the base entrance and shouted, "Agreed! Agreed!"
[The administrator of Peach Blossom Base, Peach Blossom Blossom, has died. Entry to the base gate is now prohibited.]
"What?! Let me in?! Aaaaaaah!"
"grass!"
"What should I do?! What should I do?!"
The man knelt on the ground, exhausted, and cried desperately, clinging to life. How could this happen... He had run so hard, so incredibly hard, for so long, and he... he had abandoned his own son...
"Aaaaaah, I'll fight you to the death!"
The man took out the only bomb left in his backpack, lit it, and charged into the horde of helmeted zombies without a second thought.
"You fucking idiot, do you want to die?!"
"Idiot!"
Two people were bumped into by the man, and they cursed loudly as they got up.
With a loud bang, the bomb exploded, and a group of people were knocked down by the impact, some even experiencing temporary hearing loss.
They harbored resentment in their hearts, but dared not delay in escaping. They struggled to their feet and ran for their lives.
However, when the others reached the base gate, they realized why the man had gone mad!
At that moment, the gate opened, and the group of people seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
"Let us in! Let us in!"
"Help us!"
"Please, please, let us go inside and hide..."
When Qingsong Yubai saw that several zombies with missing arms and legs were standing up shakily behind the crowd, he quickly ordered the group to move aside and took out a rocket launcher to blast them.
Bang--!
The helmeted zombie's health bar was emptied, leaving behind a mess of items.
A group of people collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily with their mouths agape, as if they had just survived a disaster.
Qingsong Yubai walked out of the base, took a few steps, turned back and said, "Peach Blossom Base is currently closed to newcomers. It's not that the base is full, but because the base leader has died, and the rules for entering and exiting the base cannot be changed. You should find another base."
Yangchun Baixue glanced at the time and tugged at Qingsong Yubai: "Let's go. Don't worry about so much. We don't have much time left, we need to get to the space station quickly."
"Let's get out of here. We're already in a bad situation. What if we bring a few more people and attract zombies by shouting? All our supplies are in the base warehouse, and we can't get them out now..."
Anger was simmering in the hearts of every player in Peach Blossom Base. Even the smallest thing ignited their fury, and they started complaining loudly without any reason or basis.
Some people gritted their teeth, wishing they could devour a group of people who were like peach blossoms in full bloom: "What a heartless person! He exploited us while we were alive, and he ruined us even after he died."
An elderly woman wiped away her tears, thinking of her strong and healthy son, and almost fainted from the grief: "Oh! Don't say anymore, my heart is aching right now. All the supplies I painstakingly collected! My son!"
A young man slapped himself twice, regretting that he hadn't fought back and that he couldn't bear to part with the supplies and hadn't left the Peach Blossom Base with his friends.
It's too late to say anything now! All the supplies have been lost; we can't get a single medicine or food out!
"Nobody's as miserable as me. My props were taken by that jerk, and now I don't even know who has them."
The group of people who had just escaped danger were in a daze, staring blankly as many people kept walking out of the base gate and heading towards the dangerous urban area.
"Them? Are they telling the truth?"
"I...I really still can't get in!!"
"What do we do? It's almost dark! Aren't they afraid it's unsafe outside?"
"Dad, get up. Let's hurry and catch up with them. We can't get in anyway, so we have to catch up with them while there are still a lot of people."
The group suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly scrambled to catch up with the main group ahead.
The torrential rain crisis has passed, and some people, relieved, are now working hard to collect supplies to stockpile for future unknown crises.
Some people had wicked ideas again. In addition to the Peach Blossom Base falling into a survival crisis due to the death of its base leader, several other bases also suddenly announced to the residents that their base leaders had died.
The residents of these bases were stunned by the news, and many wanted to leave but held back because it was dark.
However, the chat area was flooded with messages, one after another.
