Chapter 561: Working Together
Just dodging is enough to consume a lot of the psychics' superpowers, and they also have to guard against the zombies' aimless attacks.
Compared to the reckless zombies, the psychics are timid and want to protect the families of the high-ranking members of the surrounding teams as much as possible, which seems to be stretched.
The zombie in the middle didn't pay any attention to the surrounding situation at all. He looked around in front of the pits and roared downwards from time to time.
It didn't look threatening at all, but when half of the villa fell towards him, the wolf head above his head suddenly raised up, hit it, and threw the villa away in mid-air.
As the only person at the scene who had experienced the previous battle scene at Laoshan, Gu Qingji suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He controlled the mutant vines to protect the Flame Team members he was slightly familiar with, and he retreated a little to the rear of the battlefield and hurriedly called Li Yan.
When the cell phone rang, everyone in the command room thought it was an urging call from Xu Sa, so Mr. Zheng made a quick decision.
"I will have someone deliver an A-grade crystal core immediately. All psychics please guard the northwest direction."
Li Yan's mouth curled up coldly, and his brows furrowed again when he saw that the person on the screen was Gu Qingji.
"I am Li Yan."
"Listen, there seems to be an SSS-level zombie near the villa. None of the psychics here will be its match. Let's think of a way quickly." Gu Qingji himself didn't even notice that his voice was trembling. Even though he was no longer in the direction where the battlefield could reach, he still lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard and alarmed.
"What did you say!" Li Yan asked, "SSS-level zombie?"
The command room fell silent again, and everyone's eyes immediately turned in the direction of Li Yan. Li Yan took two steps forward and stood at the drone command post. After taking a look, he quickly recognized the drone that was monitoring the vicinity of the villa.
"Come closer," Li Yan said.
"Captain Li, this is the closest distance we can get. If we get any closer, the drone will be easily destroyed. The current situation makes it impossible to rebuild drones. This is already..."
"Fuck obeying orders!" Li Yan shouted angrily, interrupting the operator's chatter.
In the operator's gloomy face, Mr. Zheng ordered, "Execute!"
"yes!".
As the drone approached the villa area, real-time surveillance from there was also delivered.
It's a pity that the picture was affected by the surrounding yellow earth and stones, and it kept shaking, but it was still possible to see clearly that although the battle inside was huge, there was no threatening situation.
"Are you sure?" Li Yan asked, found the direction of Gu Qingji in the video, pointed at the screen, and asked someone to move the drone closer to him.
"Not sure," Gu Qingji replied, and before Li Yan spoke, he said again, "We encountered such a situation in Laoshan, and we were facing Gu Sheng at that time."
That duel was so brutal that Gu Qingji still doesn't want to recall it.
The strongest psychics who had always been held in high esteem were defeated without any power to resist, and they couldn't even find anything to attack them.
If it weren't for Gu Fei's rebellion, they would have had almost no chance of winning.
"What evidence do you have?" Mr. Zheng suddenly asked.
Gu Qingji looked at the energy detector in his hand uncertainly, wondering whether this thing could be considered a secret of their base.
Although some information needs to be shared, but...
After all, there is no such thing as sharing for nothing.
Li Yan immediately thought of this matter in his mind, and he said calmly, "Okay, I got it. Be careful and don't resist. We will discuss a solution immediately."
Without waiting for a response from the other end, he hung up the phone and looked at Mr. Zheng sternly, "I suggest expelling him. We don't have the strength to kill him."
His words were tantamount to believing what Gu Qingji said.
"You said yourself that you are not sure if it is an SS-level zombie." The villa area there is full of high-level officials and their families from various teams in the base. Since Zheng Tongzhen did not go to the underground shelter, it is possible that countless family members did not leave.
"But I believe that something common must have happened that gave him this understanding." Li Yan didn't want to explain more, nor did he want to listen to the various thoughts of other people in the base. He looked at Mr. Zheng seriously and said, "Please give the order immediately."
The only thing that could drive away the zombies is a powerful thermal weapon, but if a missile is sent there, the remaining people in the villa area will have no chance of survival. What's more, there may even be some hidden supply depots of some teams there.
The Zheng family is already in a precarious situation, and Mr. Zheng doesn't want to offend the various teams and add another mountain of pressure to him at this time.
Li Yan had no intention of waiting for him to make a decision. He walked towards the signalman in three or two steps, picked up one, pushed him aside, took his place, and started tapping quickly with his hand.
“Hey, you…”
The signalman wanted to step forward to stop them, but was stopped by the psychic who was following Li Yan, who said with a smile, "Brother, we'll just use it, don't be so stingy."
He stood in front of Li Yan alone, with no intention of letting anyone get close to him.
Under everyone's gaze, Li Yan wasted no time in explaining the situation here to Yuebanwan and stated that he was ready to retreat and provide support at any time.
Ning Yuan, who had been following the news since they left, issued the order as quickly as possible.
In just three minutes, Li Yan had already called the captain of the Yuebanwan team at the front line.
"Are you planning to leave?" Mr. Zheng had agreed to many harsh requests for the sake of the superpowers and weapons in Yueban Bay. When he heard that he was preparing to leave, he immediately became angry.
Li Yan held onto Mr. Zheng's dry branch-like hand and said solemnly, "Old man, I came to support Kyoto with sincerity. Can you see what the support troops under your command are doing?"
He pointed at the fighting figures on the display screens in front of him, and swept his eyes over the persons in charge of every base present, "They are fighting for their lives, and you are still scheming against each other. Can't you see that the zombies are already at the door? You want to win with such a team? Dream on."
"If you are willing to sacrifice the psychics in Kyoto, that's your business, but no psychic in our Yueban Bay can be sacrificed in vain."
He pulled away Mr. Zheng's hand that was holding him, and said seriously as if he was passing a verdict, "You're getting old, and you're starting to become indecisive."
Mr. Zheng took two steps back as if stimulated, and looked at the real-time monitoring screen blankly.
The old man's resolute face gradually turned gray, his resolute figure suddenly hunched over, and then...
Slowly falling backwards.
“Chief——!”
**
Mr. Zheng fainted.
Fainted in the front-line command room.
The old man was lying on the bed, emaciated. Healing psychics and doctors were already in place, but none of their abilities could save an elderly life.
As he fell, the command room fell into chaos for a while. Several powerful bases quickly stabilized the situation, but the people in Kyoto base were more familiar with the deployment of personnel.
Zheng Yi knelt at the head of the bed, his face covered in blood, his clothes mixed with dust, his bloodshot eyes staring at the old man, holding his hand tightly, and shouted in a trembling voice, "Grandpa."
"Sorry, General, I'm not targeting you." Li Yan looked at his pale face and had bad thoughts in his mind. He was too excited just now and didn't notice the old man's hot hands for a while. It was not until he moved the man to the ground that he felt the fever. He knew that he had been sick for several days, but he still stayed here.
The old man patted Zheng Yi's hand, breathing so heavily as if someone was pinching his neck, "Don't... don't be afraid."
"I...have lived enough."
"Grandpa, don't say anything. There is a way to save you. I will find the best doctor. I..." Zheng Yi buried his head in the old man's hand and choked with sobs. It was his incompetence that caused the old man to come out to support him at such an old age despite his illness.
Old Master Zheng stroked the back of his most proud grandson and looked at Li Yan, "You...you...you are right. I am old."
He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that he began to look ahead and behind, and began to weigh everything.
"General..." Li Yan didn't know what to say.
The old man stared at the monitoring screen in front of him, with a resolute look on his face. "Give my order, and have all the remaining personnel in the villa area evacuate. In fifteen minutes, the fighter planes will drive away the zombies and head towards..."
"Expel in a southeasterly direction."
Li Yan turned his head to look at the other responsible persons, and saluted the old man in silence, "Yes!"
"Grandpa, you take a rest first..."
Mr. Zheng waved his hand and saw the family doctor bring over the treasured nutritional injection and signaled him to give him the injection.
Through a series of means to preserve the nutrient injections and the healing ability users constantly repairing the inside of his body, the old man's pale complexion has improved a lot.
He listened to the continuous explosions of artillery shells outside, and watched the collapse of the residential buildings that had been built with great difficulty in the surveillance video. The residents who were hiding were injured by the chaos, and the blood seemed to be coming through the screen. He heard the people crying, and they were calling for help.
Old Master Zheng gasped violently for a few times, and his breathing gradually stabilized. He instructed Zheng Yi to help him half sit up. The fall just now made him look much older, and his forced spirit at this moment gave everyone a bad premonition.
"Grandpa, you take a rest..." Zheng Yi tried to force a smile, but it looked uglier than crying.
"It's not time to rest yet," Mr. Zheng patted his back kindly.
He turned to look at everyone and gave another order, "Assign some earth-type ability players to repair the city walls and rebuild the defense line!"
Li Yan met his gaze and saw Mr. Zheng smiling at him heartily, "This is my hometown, I was born and raised here, and I will rest here forever."
"You're right, I'm old," he looked at everyone in the command room, "I have experienced many wars, but I actually forgot that the prerequisite for winning is unity and cooperation."
When he spoke again, his eyes became much sharper, "As the supreme commander, I order all those who come to assist in fighting the zombies. From this moment on, all teams will be deployed in a unified manner. Any team that delays the fight will be liquidated by Zheng's army after the war."
