"Bang bang bang bang"
"Boom boom boom"
The sound of intense artillery explosions echoed through the mountains, accompanied by the buzzing and screeching of mutated birds.
Su Li and Xuan Qing stood together on the mountaintop, looking down at the base that had been overrun by mutated bird flocks. The dark mass of birds exuded a chilling aura of death.
Meanwhile, the mountaintop military post, not far from Zurich's residence, was also surrounded by flocks of birds flying in from the other side of the mountaintop.
Standing here, you can occasionally see sparks and blue-purple lightning flashes from the dark flocks of birds, as well as black corpses constantly falling from the sky.
Large mutated animals have begun to run from outside the villa walls toward the base down the mountain.
These monsters were uniformly purple and black, with extra limbs and tentacles on their bodies. They attacked indiscriminately, friend or foe. Under the moonlight, you could see their half-meter-long fangs, some with bits of flesh still hanging on them!
These monsters roared as their massive bodies charged past, trampling down the newly sprouted mutated plants one by one, and sending boulders tumbling down the mountainside.
The zombies, who were the greatest threat to humans at the beginning of the apocalypse, are now caught in the middle of the mutated animal horde. If they are not careful, they will be knocked down by the huge, thick thighs and trampled into mincemeat in the chaos!
Su Li looked down at the base below the mountain. Although it was a long distance away, she could hear the chaotic sounds of fighting coming from down the mountain.
The birds’ sharp cries almost drowned out everything; once a group was knocked down, they would quickly fly to the front to join it.
Even so, these dense flocks of birds failed to break through the base's outer defenses.
At this moment, one can see a brightly lit base city in the sky, the lights shining out effortlessly, indicating that no mutated bird flocks have entered the airspace above the base.
These mutated birds were all stopped outside the base's perimeter, but it's unknown how long the base's ammunition will last.
After all, the flock of birds was just the vanguard of the zombie horde; the main force of the zombie horde had not yet arrived.
Thinking this, Su Li clenched her fists and took a few more steps towards the top of the mountain.
Although the night breeze was cool, the fishy smell it carried was hard to dissipate.
She suddenly turned to look at Xuan Qing, and pointed to the top of her head:
"Xuanqing, take me up there."
Xuan Qing, standing beside her, was slightly taken aback, but did not ask anything. Instead, he obediently stepped forward and took Su Li's hand, rapidly circulating his inner energy while simultaneously forming a divination gesture with his right hand.
The next second, Su Li felt a lightness on her body, and her feet were off the ground.
She watched as her feet moved further and further off the ground, until in just a few seconds she was level with the mutated birds.
But these mutated birds seemed to be completely oblivious to her!
Su Li knew that this was because Xuan Qing had placed a barrier around the two of them!
At this moment, she was finally able to see what these mutated birds looked like clearly.
These birds' feathers did not appear to have turned black like the mutated animals, but their bodies had become much larger, especially their hard-looking beaks that seemed to gleam with a metallic sheen, and their sharp teeth that could not be closed and protruded from their beaks!
It looks like it could peck a hole in someone's head with just one shot!
And these birds couldn't escape it either. Their mutated bodies began to grow extra torsos, such as crows with six wings, sparrows with three legs, and parrots with blood-red eyes all over their bodies!
Su Li was lifted up little by little by Xuan Qing, and brushed past the mutated parrot. Even though she knew that the mutated parrot could not see her, she still felt as if she was being stared at by countless eyes, and the hair on her body stood on end!
Soon, Xuan Qing brought Su Li to a stop in mid-air. Looking down, Su Li could even vaguely see a large black army in the distance.
That's the approaching horde of zombies!
Do you need help?
Hearing Xuan Qing's suicidal question, Su Li didn't hesitate for a moment and turned to look at him:
"Of course!"
Then, a second later, a huge fireball, almost fifty meters in diameter, suddenly appeared out of thin air in the pitch-black night sky!
The fireball burned fiercely in the air, like a falling sun, leaving behind trails of burning, charred corpses wherever it passed.
These corpses, hanging on the ground, were smashed into pieces!
The moment the fireball appeared, the artillery fire from the base at the foot of the mountain even paused for a second. Even the mutated animals that had no thoughts of their own and only roared that they wanted to eat people stopped in their tracks and looked up at the night sky that was now illuminated!
At that very moment, all the mutated animals and survivors in the base looked up at the giant fireball with mixed feelings of doubt, fear, and anticipation.
Suddenly, the fireball exploded violently as it fell!
A gasp rang out in the base, but people soon realized that the exploding fireball had shattered into countless fireballs that looked no bigger than a fist.
These fireballs streaked across the dark sky like meteors, crashing into the mutated birds and animals outside the city!
The fireball seemed to carry extremely high temperatures. Although it was only a small one, when it fell on the mutated animal, it almost immediately caused huge flames to rise from the dry fur. Then, from an angle that people could not see, the fireball would quickly burn through the mutated animal's flesh!
Strangely, those fireballs almost always landed precisely on the heads of the mutated animals, burning their skulls through.
Just by looking at the snowflakes falling like a blizzard, you can feel how powerful this fireball is!
What's going on?
"Where did that fireball come from? Is it some new technology from the base?"
"It doesn't look like new technology; it looks more like the work of a fire-type ability user!"
"Are you kidding me? What kind of superhuman could unleash such a massive fireball?!"
The superhumans who were helping out on the city wall with the army looked up at the rain of fireballs overhead and murmured to themselves!
The person next to him couldn't help but sigh as well, but snapped back to reality in the next instant and quickly pulled the other person away, saying, "Hurry up, don't stand there, kill a few more while we have the chance!"
As he spoke, he quickly threw a throwing knife at the mutated birds above his head. The mutated birds had already flown over the city wall when his throwing knife severed their necks, and their bodies fell directly into the city!
The others around them snapped out of their daze upon seeing this!
Meanwhile, on the city wall at the south gate of the base, Lu Yu, along with Bai Feng, Qi Zhi, Lin Dong, and others, were attacking the mutated animals that were crashing into the wall below!
In the brief moment, Lu Yu suddenly looked up towards the east gate of the base, where a fireball identical to the one from before had just exploded!
The countless red stars scattered across the sky were weapons, yet they were as beautiful as fireworks.
This reminded him of a line of poetry, which was quite inappropriate for him:
The east wind makes thousands of flowers bloom at night, and blows down stars like rain!
