Mutant Army Attack 01
The autumn sun is not very warm anymore, but for the sacred tree that has been growing in the dark cave, it is like the warmest encouragement.
Its branches stretched out from the cracks, greedily absorbing the power of the sun.
Standing on the gravel and dust, Chen Guanghai felt his body full of strength. He picked up a piece of gravel from the ground, exerted light force, and the gravel broke into scattered small pieces in his hand.
He looked at the small stone in his hand that he had crushed in disbelief: "Master Shenmu, look."
Shenmu: "Call Li Qi over. The changes in her will definitely be more obvious."
Chen Guanghai's eyes were a little subtle: "Yes, I'll call her over right away." A few minutes later, a girl with short sharp hair appeared next to Shenmu.
"You called me."
"Yes, I want to see your current strength." The sacred tree's voice was soft, and its branches gently brushed her hair.
Li Qi picked up a stone from the ground and, with a little force, it instantly turned into dust, which floated into the air. Her expression was a mixture of surprise and understanding: "Your strength has increased again."
"That's right. I need you to lead the rest of the base tomorrow to attack the First Base and destroy their buildings. It would be even better if we could capture Jiang Lin."
"I will do as you wish." Li Qi lowered her head and looked at the remaining powder on her hands. This was her strength. She clenched her fists and looked at the sunlight shining through the cave, her eyes slightly narrowed.
At the First Base, Jiang Lin changed from Director Jiang to the Minister of Construction Department. However, as the Minister, she was currently repairing the wall. In order to prevent the sacred tree from growing some fungi on them without anyone noticing, she added an electric fence on the wall.
Wen Yan was beside her as she worked.
"Are you free?" Jiang Lin was a little confused. The first base covered a large area, and it would take Jiang Lin a long time to repair it all.
Wen Yan: "I'm worried that you might be in danger and no one is around."
Jiang Lin replaced the severely damaged wall with the system's materials: "If it's dangerous to me, then the people around me are also in great danger."
After she finished speaking, she laughed twice. Wen Yan looked at Jiang Lin, who had become more cheerful, with tenderness in his eyes: "Let's fix the rest tomorrow. There's still a long way to go, and it's going to be dark soon."
"That won't do. What if they attack us tomorrow?" Jiang Lin looked at the setting sun with a bit of worry, and her heart was very uneasy.
Wen Yan took out an apple from the car next to him and threw it to Jiang Lin: "Eat something to replenish your energy first. You can rest in the car for a while if you get tired."
Jiang Lin took the apple and took a bite: "You really have a lot of good things."
Wen Yan smiled without saying anything. He unscrewed a bottle of nutrient solution and drank it. "When can it be repaired?"
"If the progress is fast, it will be around 11 o'clock tonight." Jiang Lin estimated the approximate time. It was really a long way to go.
The front wall has been almost reinforced. Wen Yan drove Jiang Lin to the back wall, which was more severely damaged.
Because it is rarely maintained and is in the shade, the outer material has fallen off in large areas, but it makes no difference to Jiang Lin.
She quickened her pace and finally finished around eleven o'clock. Jiang Lin got in the car and closed her eyes in the back seat to rest, wondering when Shenmu would strike next.
When he opened his eyes again, the car had stopped. Jiang Lin waved to Wen Yan and went into his house. The dinner at the door was still warm in a special insulated box.
There was actually a bowl of egg custard today. Jiang Lin quickly finished her dinner, washed up, and lay down on the bed. The saplings in the yard had grown a little taller, and she was really looking forward to the day when they would bear fruit.
He could go to work in the afternoon the next day, so Jiang Lin turned off the alarm clock and prepared to have a good rest.
In the early morning when it was still dark, Li Qi led the mutant army to the vicinity of the first base. They all crawled on the ground, like human heads and snake bodies.
The base where Shenmu is located does not have as much equipment and resources as the first base, so this time their target is also the first base's sophisticated equipment, weapons and transportation.
Li Qi put the telescope to his face. There was no trace of fungi on the wall. It looked even more solid. The electric fence on it could be vaguely seen.
She felt a little annoyed. It was much stronger than she had expected. How did the First Base upgrade the wall to this level in such a short time?
"Captain, when do we attack?" The person behind him leaned over and asked Li Qi in his ear.
"Wait a moment, I'll go check out the situation ahead." Li Qi took off the telescope and quietly went to the wall of the base.
It was indeed covered with electric fences, so even if she wanted to attack manually, it would not be easy to break through the wall. She was a little troubled.
The man stationed on the wall was feeling a little sleepy as it was almost time for a shift change. He forced himself to wake up. Dawn was breaking, but the ground was still dark.
Li Qi returned to the main force: "The wall is very strong, with electric fences on top, so it's not easy to break through."
"What should we do, Captain? If we wait any longer, it will be even more disadvantageous for us because it will be dawn soon."
Li Qi also thought so: "Attack directly." The people she brought with her this time all had special abilities, and with the added power of the sacred tree, a head-on attack was also an option.
"yes!"
"Hey, look over there, it feels like there is a crowd of people." Li Xiang poked Wang Che next to him and rubbed his eyes.
Wang Che had been dozing off a bit, but he was startled awake by the push. He took out his binoculars and looked: "In the distance, a dense group of people are rushing towards their base at an incredible speed."
"Quick, sound the alarm!" Wang Che didn't care what the thing was, and quickly picked up a long-range weapon and fired at that place.
"Bang, bang, bang." The sound of weapons was particularly clear in the silent dawn.
Li Xiang quickly sounded the battle alarm. The other goalkeepers were not very clear about the situation, but they all fired at the direction where Wang Che was attacking.
"Are the zombies coming?"
"I don't know. Let's fight first and see."
The people on the wall were a little confused, but they still tried their best to identify the enemy in the dark.
Li Qi and his group crawled on the ground. The low brightness was their best camouflage, and crawling in the dust could also help them avoid most attacks.
"I feel like I didn't hit anything." Li Xiang joined the attacking team after sounding the alarm.
Wang Che also had this feeling. It seemed that his shooting did not hit any real objects, but he was shooting according to people's height, so how could he not hit any of them?
Li Xiang threw a bomb over, and Li Qi realized the danger immediately. She led the large force to retreat quickly to the side, but some people were still hit by the explosion.
Green juice sprayed on the ground, and Li Qi sighed. However, these dead companions will grow again in this world in other forms. Some people whose heads were not damaged will slowly grow new bodies.
This place is far away from the sacred tree, so the regeneration rate has slowed down, but it still exists.
In just a few breaths, this group of mutant troops had run to the city gate, just in the blind spot of the wall guards.
Li Qi pressed the electrified door without hesitation. The pain from the electricity flowing into her body was not obvious, as her nerves had been paralyzed long ago, but her arm was visibly charred.
The people next to them did the same, and the gate began to loosen unknowingly. Groups of people began to attack the main entrance wall and gate.
Li Qi stepped back and waited for the power of the sacred tree to restore her arm.
The sunlight hit her face unexpectedly. As the sun rose, she felt the strength in her body become abundant.
"Do you feel the wall shaking again?" Li Xiang was not sure if it was his illusion, so he stopped attacking and looked at Wang Che.
"No way, Minister Jiang built the wall very solidly." But the shaking sensation under his feet became more and more intense.
Wang Che looked down in confusion: "Oh my god, there's a group of people down there!"
His exclamation attracted everyone's attention. The wall guards looked down and saw that there was indeed a group of people gathered at the main gate.
Their expressions were dull and the wall shook even more violently.
The patrolman on duty in the distance also went around to the gate from the back and saw that the originally sturdy wall was already in danger.
"Hurry, get down from the wall." The patrolman below shouted loudly.
The personnel on the wall evacuated urgently, and the patrolman immediately notified the patrol center. This time, the alarm of the entire base sounded and entered the first level combat readiness state.
Jiang Lin was awakened by the shrill alarm.
[Host Shenmu's mutant army has arrived at the gate and will likely break through the main gate soon.]
"What?" Jiang Lin quickly jumped out of bed, put on his combat uniform, and ran towards the city gate.
The road was full of people wearing combat uniforms, and Jiang Lin just got on a car heading to the main gate.
When she arrived at the main gate, she happened to witness the collapse of the wall that had just been repaired yesterday.
A huge cloud of dust was raised, and the visibility around dropped rapidly. In the yellow dust, visibility was extremely low, but Jiang Lin's hearing improved.
She heard a rustling sound coming from underground.
An ice blade stabbed down quickly, and the sound of liquid splashing was heard. Jiang Lin squatted down and met a pair of incredulous eyes.
She pierced the man's head without any hesitation. Shenmu's mutant army had actually invaded.
The dust slowly cleared, and everyone could see the image clearly. The gate had collapsed, and some species that were not like ordinary people had infiltrated the base. They were crawling on the ground and moving at an extremely fast speed.
Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes and quickly stabbed the ice spikes into the heads of nearby mutants: "Attack their heads, their head is their Achilles' heel."
The mutant army and the people from the First Base were fighting each other. Jiang Lin was surprised to find that these people from the First Base had almost no advantage in close combat with the mutants.
There is no doubt that the power of the sacred tree has increased again.
Jiang Lin's expression became solemn. A mutant wrapped around her body, causing unbearable pain in her legs. The force was so great that it almost broke her legs instantly.
She quickly tensed her muscles, and the dagger killed the mutant with a sound of wind.
I touched the condition of the legs. Even under the protection of combat uniform and muscles, there were probably some injuries. It was really a terrifying power.
The mutants did not linger in the fight. They quickly destroyed important buildings and stole weapons from the dead. The situation began to get out of control.
