The soldiers roared and charged forward, instantly turning the tide of the battle.
The people, who were originally panicked by the zombie army, were now like they had been given a stimulant, wielding their machetes with great force.
Prior to this, they had already undergone several rounds of rigorous training, including various weighted running exercises and weighted weapon wielding exercises... The amount of training was insane compared to before.
Not only that, they also had to practice teamwork. They didn't realize it during actual combat, but now that they were on the battlefield, they were surprisingly adept at it.
Only through hard work can you ensure you don't let yourself down.
They are humanity's first line of defense and also its last.
"Wow, that's amazing." Freya sat on the edge of the helicopter. "Your sister made absolutely thorough preparations."
"Be careful." Shi Yin's expression remained unchanged: "This helicopter has been targeted."
"Huh?" Freya was taken aback for a moment, then after carefully sensing it, she laughed happily: "Big sister is amazing~"
Shi Yin didn't say anything more. She picked up Chang Ning and jumped down, landing steadily and lightly on a railing of the school wall, like a feather.
[Everyone retreat, shrink the protective circle.]
All the soldiers below heard these words; the voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
Everyone's brains froze for a moment. Behind them were the people they were supposed to protect, and in a way, they shouldn't have retreated.
At first, when Shi Yin went in to solve the problem and look for clues, someone was killed by zombies. They were tense and anxious but helpless. Now, they really don't want to retreat.
However, obeying orders is a soldier's duty.
They didn't have time to think. Almost the instant Shi Yin gave the order, their bodies reacted. They had undergone so much training that their bodies would subconsciously obey orders the moment they heard them.
Whatever the command is.
So, from above the helicopter, one could see that the soldiers, who were originally about to charge forward and even overpower the zombies, suddenly retreated in an orderly fashion.
Their teamwork wasn't particularly seamless, but it was just right. They remained calm and coordinated with each other, with one attacking and the other defending.
Seeing this, Shi Yin's previously irritable mood finally improved.
That's it. Dealing with zombies only requires 30% courage; the remaining 70% is about staying calm.
The soldiers were well-trained and retreated much faster than the zombies, quickly maintaining a safe distance from them.
With the surrounding obstacles and the school's walls, the zombies were temporarily blocked outside.
Shi Yin put Chang Ning down and said softly, "It's your turn, Glutton."
"Sister, please don't call me by my superpower name, it doesn't sound nice." Changning tugged at Shiyin's sleeve playfully, "After eating the zombies, I want strawberry candy~"
“Of course, you can eat whatever you want.” Shi Yin’s expression softened slightly.
Changning immediately became happy and jumped off the wall.
A strange thing happened: the zombies, who were usually so enthusiastic about humans, showed hesitation and struggle in their eyes when they saw Changning.
The desire for flesh and blood and the fear of not daring to move forward frequently intertwined in their eyes, causing them to hesitate for a moment.
"ah--"
Changning opened his mouth wide, and what happened next left everyone dumbfounded.
Changning's mouth was like a black hole tearing everything around it. Anything without roots that Changning saw was directly sucked into its mouth, indiscriminately, like friend or foe, like the magical gourd of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn Kings in Journey to the West.
Changning didn't even need the other party's consent; she simply looked at the zombies, opened her mouth, and the zombies uncontrollably shrank, twisted, and became ethereal, as if being sucked into her mouth like smoke.
Moreover, this is an area-of-effect attack that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe; any soldier who gets even slightly close feels as if their entire body is being torn apart.
Shi Yin's cane had somehow returned to her hand. Shi Yin stood beside Chang Ning, and the military uniform she had changed into at some point made her look as tall and straight as a mountain, sharp and solemn.
The golden snake head on the cane emitted a faint light, yet even so, the soldiers not far away felt powerless.
Even Shion couldn't completely suppress this feeling of being devoured.
"boom--"
A deafening roar came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw sparks, smoke, and pink crystals colliding and exploding in the air, just like dazzling fireworks.
"Treating a girl so roughly is not gentlemanly at all." Freya made a shooting gesture and winked playfully at the end of the missile's trajectory: "This kind of shell is outdated."
"Don't provoke us," Shi Yin said. "Let's stabilize the situation first; now is not the time to start a war."
"Alright, I was just joking," Freya said with a smile. "But judging from the direction and coordinates, it's not in China. Your task is quite demanding."
Shi Yin didn't respond, which she was well aware of.
"Hiccup~"
Changning withdrew his superpower and burped.
"They taste awful." Changning pouted, a little unhappy: "They're all bitter, both bitter and astringent."
“This is your job. As long as you can eat them, you will never go hungry and can eat whatever you want.” Shi Yin rubbed Chang Ning’s head and returned to the helicopter.
"Mmm." Changning tugged at Shiyin's sleeve and nodded obediently.
"Welcome back." Freya smiled and made way for Shi Yin, handing her a small walkie-talkie: "Our signal was blocked, so we couldn't contact the Doomsday Beacon. I just reinforced it, so it should be working now."
"?" Shi Yin was taken aback: "How did you get stronger?"
"It was just a little modification. I used the driver's toolbox for a bit," Freya said proudly. "I've tried modifying TVs and cell phones before, but this is my first time modifying something like a walkie-talkie. Luckily, it seems like I succeeded."
Shi Yin: "..."
Was I lucky?
“Yes, yes! Success is 1% perspiration and 99% luck,” Freya said with a smile.
Shi Yin: "..."
Is it 99% luck or 99% talent?
Driver: "?"
Is that how it's said?
“But I feel like that horde of zombies down there is under someone’s command. It shouldn’t be a manipulator, the frequency is different.” Freya continued, “The frequency of those zombies’ roars is very strange. I guess zombies should have their own language, but I may have to listen a couple more times to determine the pattern.”
You think listening to it a couple more times will reveal the pattern? So you're saying you've already figured out a pattern after just one listen?
