Chapter 307: Defending the Formation
The intercom rustled for a long time, and Lu Xiao's voice came cautiously, "Is it an upgrade to S-level?"
"right".
After a moment's silence, Lu Xiao said, "I'll bring people over right away, you stay with them first, don't worry."
Not far away, Lu Weiyi had not yet finished his second pancake when Lu Xiao and his men hurried over.
Following him were Gu Qingyue, Dean and Xu Yi.
Lu Weiyi and his companions were staying in a narrow high place, surrounded by zombie corpses. Within a radius of one hundred meters, the zombie corpses formed a high slope, like a pyramid of corpses.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xiao was a little stunned. He turned to look at the people behind him and said, "Did you see that? This is called hunting zombies. You should develop in this direction in the future."
"Yes!" The crowd behind him responded in a thunderous voice.
"Keep your voice down, you bastards, or you'll attract more zombies here," Lu Xiao lowered his voice and scolded, "Get rid of the zombies around here first."
"Wait, Master Xiao," Cong Qing tried to stop him, "Although the zombies are all dead, our people have been busy all night, and there is no guarantee that they may have minor injuries. If they come into contact with them, there is a risk of being infected and becoming zombies."
He looked around and didn't find a good way up, "Let the earth-type mutant pave a path for us, and then burn this place down later."
"Okay." Lu Xiao turned around and looked at the people who followed him. Several earth-type ability users came forward spontaneously and used their abilities forward.
The pile of zombies surged upwards from the bottom. After a moment, a one-meter-wide road extended from under their feet to Lu Weiyi. Lu Xiao took the lead and strode upwards, "Cong Qing, take everyone to spread out and be alert."
"Yes," Cong Qing responded, but did not follow him up.
Dean followed closely behind, looking at the zombies on both sides of the road and trying to focus his eyes, but he still couldn't help but tilt his head, and was grabbed by Gu Qingyue who was following behind him, "Be careful."
Dean nodded and looked up, and sure enough, he saw Antonio looking at him nervously.
Dean smiled at him soothingly, calmed himself and followed Lu Xiao's steps closely.
At the top of the slope, four people sat on the ground, Lu Weiyi facing their direction, Xu Sa and Gu Qingji facing other directions, forming a safe triangle that surrounded the four people in the middle.
Lu Xiao did not disturb them. He took out three plant crystal cores from the space and handed them to Lu Weiyi, "These are all the plant crystal cores in our team. You can take them first for emergency."
Lu Weiyi shook his head and pushed it back, "No need, uncle, we are prepared."
"Then take it first." Lu Xiao was afraid that he was being falsely polite. "Our team doesn't need to upgrade in the short term. I will take them to hunt mutant plants later. Are there enough crystal cores? I still have some fire and gold crystal cores in my hands, which should be useful."
He took out a handful of mixed crystal cores from the space, with golden and dark red crystal cores intertwined, and stuffed them directly into Lu Weiyi's hands.
These two types of crystal cores are the most scarce and difficult to collect at any time. Lu Weiyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll use them first and then return them to my uncle."
Lu Xiao waved his hands and looked at the four people worriedly.
"They will succeed," Lu Weiyi comforted.
Lu Xiao looked at him with distrust, as if to say, "How can you be a guarantor for others in your situation?"
Lu Weiyi laughed, "Uncle, it took me two months to upgrade from S-level to SS-level. It was because the speed was too fast."
Lu Xiao was surprised, "Two months?"
"There was nothing we could do about the situation at that time." Lu Weiyi didn't want to say more and looked behind him.
Gu Qingyue was squatting beside Gu Qingji, feeding him water and talking to him in a low voice. Gu Qingji lowered his head slightly and nodded from time to time.
Dean stood not far from Antonio, met his smiling gaze, clenched his fist to cheer him up, his golden fur swaying in the breeze like a little sun.
Xu Yi's gaze swept across the four people and finally stopped at Li Zhuang. When Li Zhuang looked over, he quickly looked away.
"Uncle, have you found the psycho zombie you mentioned before?" Lu Weiyi asked.
Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "The zombies in other places haven't been cleared yet. I have already sent some psychics over to provide support. If it weren't for the situation here, I would have let you go with me."
Seeing that he was nervous and kept looking around, Lu Xiao comforted him, "Don't worry, that's just everyone's guess. Is there still..."
"Lu Xiao, what did you do over there? All the zombies on my side are heading towards you." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Qiang's breathless voice came through the intercom.
Immediately afterwards, the intercom on Cong Qing's body not far away also rang, "Lu Xiao, the zombies are coming towards you, all of them, did you poke their lair? Thank you so much."
It’s Zheng Yi.
"Master Xiao!" After hearing this, Cong Qing ran towards Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao's heart tightened and he looked at Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi looked in one direction and whispered, "They are coming."
Now he was sure that there was definitely a zombie in command, otherwise how could all the zombies in the city gather here.
"What are they doing?" The entire east city was divided into four areas. In Lu Xiao's area alone, he had killed tens of thousands of zombies. If all the zombies from other areas gathered here...
Lu Xiao didn't even dare to imagine that scene.
"There are four S-level crystal cores and one SS-level crystal core here. Zombies are very sensitive to the strength of crystal cores." This is like putting a few pieces of delicious cake in front of you. There is no reason not to have a taste.
Zombies rushed in from all directions, giving people a feeling of a zombie siege.
Their target is very clear, which is the group of people in front of them, or the few people who are being upgraded.
"Uncle, let ordinary people leave and call for support from others." Lu Weiyi stared at the place not far away, swinging the small green branch in his hand flexibly on the ground, occasionally bending it into an enchanting posture.
In this situation, ordinary people are simply courting death, or even just filling up the enemy team. Even those with special abilities only have a relatively higher chance of survival.
Fortunately, these people in front of us are obviously residents of the base. For today's psychics, the level of the newly infected zombies is so high that there is no possibility of being infected as zombies even if they are bitten.
Lu Xiao did not hesitate, "Baozi, take the ordinary people back to the safe wall."
The direction they came from had been completely cleared by Lu Weiyi and his team. In the early morning, another soldier led a team to sweep the building. All the survivors had been taken back to the shelter, and the scattered zombies had also been cleared away. At this time, there was no trace of zombies in this direction.
Most of the people he brought with him were ordinary people. The people with special abilities had been busy all night and were now replenishing their energy in the rear. After they left, only a dozen or so were left.
Lu Xiao looked at the four people who were upgrading and said hesitantly, "Xiao Yi, otherwise..."
"No," Lu Weiyi shook his head.
He knew what Lu Xiao was going to say, which was simply to ask them to give up upgrading. Even if they did not upgrade, their late A-level strength was now enough to gain a foothold in any base.
What's more, the higher the level of the psychic, the more difficult it is to upgrade. S-level is a huge hurdle. People like Zhao Qiang have begun to suppress the absorption of crystal cores and try to delay the upgrade time. They don't have to force it.
But Lu Weiyi knew that this was not a long-term solution.
The stronger the superpower, the more energy it contains. When the crystal core can no longer contain the energy, it will upgrade. If the upgrade fails, it may not seem to be a problem, but the energy is still accumulating, and it will become a time bomb, which may lead to death at any time.
"Uncle, take your men to guard the direction we have cleared and leave a way out for us." Among the directions, only the place where they came from was free of zombies for the time being. If they were not taken care of, they might not be able to hold out for long.
"You..." While Lu Xiao was seeking support from other forces, he anxiously pulled Lu Weiyi, wanting him to go with him.
Lu Weiyi pushed him and said with a firm look, "I'll give them some time. If they can't hold on any longer, I'll take them away."
He took out a large number of weapons from the space and gave them to Lu Xiao, including grenades and rocket launchers.
"...I will guard this place for you." Lu Xiao entered his own space and strode away along the newly built path.
Lu Weiyi turned his head to look at Dean and Xu Yi behind him, and without waiting for them to speak, he said, "You two should leave with me. Even if the zombies can't get through, you won't be able to withstand the upgraded energy impact."
Dean wanted to say something, but Antonio said sternly, "Dean, be obedient."
Dean pursed his lips and looked at him, and Antonio softened his tone, "Baby, I'll be back soon."
Under the protection of Lu Xiao's men, Xu Yi and Dean ran quickly in the direction they came from.
Gu Qingyue stayed behind to help them guard one direction.
Lu Weiyi commanded the little green branch to swing hard on the narrow road, and the newly formed path was immediately broken.
He took out a few barrels of gasoline from the space and distributed them to the other three people to "clean it up."
Several barrels of gasoline were used, and the smell of fire and meat filled the air, blocking the first batch of zombies.
The zombies, who had just been infected, had no special powers and were immediately burned when they were swept by the flames. They stepped on the corpses that were constantly burning to ashes and falling down, and soon became one of them.
This scene made everyone on the top breathe a sigh of relief, and then the water dragons of the water-based zombies with special abilities suppressed the fire again and again.
"I will try my best to buy you some time, you guys should do the same as soon as possible," Lu Weiyi said with his back to the people, "I suspect there are mental zombies mixed in among these, you'd better protect your own minds and not be controlled by the zombies."
As soon as he finished speaking, his little green branch was the first to swing towards the zombie that was staggering up. The corpse in front of Gu Qingji was already covered with the lush green leaves of the mutated ivy. Gu Qingji continued to inject his supernatural powers into it, commanding it to strangle the approaching zombies.
Gu Qingyue’s water combat ability has always been inferior to Ning Yuan’s, and now he can only continuously launch water arrows.
Xu Sa's lightning came out in a whole piece, which seemed to be very powerful, but also consumed a lot of energy. After a short while, the crystal cores in his hand were used up. The repeated absorption and exhaustion made his face look extremely ugly.
The psychics coming to support have arrived from all directions. Various superpowers can be seen flashing and gunshots can be heard, but all the zombies in the area are gathered here, and no living people can be seen within thousands of meters.
