Chapter 884: Dispatching
Lu Xiao wanted to convince people so he wouldn't give them a chance to refute. He and Lu Weiyi had different personalities. His inner sense of responsibility made him never agree with Lu Weiyi's decision at this time. However, he had to put the lives of tens of thousands of people in front of him, leaving Lu Weiyi with no choice.
When Lu Weiyi came out of Lu Xiao's room, he felt more and more depressed. However, he had no way to vent when he saw people coming and going around him and greeting him.
"I will do my best," Qin Jin, who followed not far behind him, said inexplicably.
"Thanks".
Qin Jin shook his head and glanced sideways at Lu Weiyi, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
The entire team spent several days getting familiar with the surrounding situation. They also followed Lu Xiao's deployment, conducted a thorough investigation of all of Wei Minglang's zombie armies, and formulated a detailed plan.
Looking at Lu Xiao's step-by-step battle plan, Lu Weiyi finally understood why Zhuang Mingxu asked him to come and take command. If he were alone, he could attack and defend, but this kind of large-scale battle was indeed not something he could handle.
The general attack was scheduled for the early morning, and they needed to set off at dawn. In the middle of the night, Lu Xiao held a meeting with all the captains to make deployments.
"After several days of investigation, we discovered that Wei Minglang was consciously feeding zombie crystal cores to the mutated banyan tree. The number of low-level zombies in the city has been reduced. Compared to their own upgrades, almost all the zombies here have been stimulated to life." Lu Xiao brought up a problem that neither Lu Weiyi nor Qin Jin noticed.
"Those who can break through the upgrade barrier and survive are all high-level zombies, and those who cannot survive become stepping stones for others to upgrade. This means that the zombies here may be more humane than what we see outside. Most of them are controlled by Wei Minglang and hate humans. When you encounter them, no matter their level, do not underestimate the enemy."
After Lu Xiao's reminder, he went into detail about the combat process. There was no communication equipment available at all times, so they needed to perfect everything as much as possible in advance.
"Lu Weiyi will first assist the fire-type mutants and the heavy weapons team to take down the mutant banyan tree. During this process, Qin Jin, you need to hold Wei Minglang back."
"Don't give him the possibility to support other places."
"Okay," Qin Jin agreed very happily.
Lu Xiao looked at Lu Weiyi, who had been busy in the office most of the time these days, and said, "After the mutated banyan tree is dealt with, you should go to support Qin Jin quickly."
"I know." Lu Weiyi looked at the detailed plan on the table and asked uncertainly, "The zombies left behind are all conscious. Since there are so many of us here, they should also know our purpose. It's impossible for them to be defenseless, right?"
Lu Xiao glared at him, his tone a little gnashing his teeth, "Have you forgotten how many groups of zombies we caught in the past few days?"
"..."Lu Weiyi.
He really hasn't been paying attention here these days and has been focusing on the base.
"There's something going on at the base that needs the base commander to handle. I haven't had time to tell him about the situation here." Ning Yuan stepped forward and took the responsibility on himself, so that the team leaders would not think that he was not caring.
Lu Xiao had already asked clearly about what happened in Ning Yuan. He did not say much on this issue. Instead, he said in detail, "Wei Minglang knew the situation we were facing since the first time we sent people there. While he kept sending zombies to investigate the situation, he was also anxious to cultivate higher-level zombies."
"According to the instruments detected so far, there are six SS-level zombies, and the lowest level is A-level. The number and level of our psychics sound quite large, but in fact, the number of zombies we face is still about twice as many as ours."
"But don't worry, you don't have to face so many zombies head-on. After the two high-ranking SS soldiers are lured away, our hot weapons team will launch the attack first."
"After the thermal weapons attack, the psychics will clean up the battlefield and finish off the work. This is the way to cause the least damage to us, but we also hope that everyone will be vigilant." Lu Xiao looked at all the captains sitting there and reminded them solemnly, "The zombies here have human thinking and ideas, and many of them have even regained human consciousness. They are smarter than all the zombies we have seen, so..."
"Don't underestimate the enemy."
"clear".
"clear".
Everyone responded and listened to Lu Xiao's clear explanation of the timing and opportunity for each team to attack and even the signals when cooperation from surrounding teams was needed. After everyone had figured out the direction of their respective tasks, the time for departure was approaching.
Although Lu Xiao was the commander-in-chief, before setting off, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Weiyi, hoping that he could say something.
Lu Weiyi has never been good at this kind of situation. He pondered for a few seconds and said seriously, "No matter what unexpected situation happens, don't give up hope of survival. Just hold on and you will be rescued."
"Is it true?" Ji Zheng asked half-jokingly when he came out with these people for the first time.
Fang Tang also looked at Lu Weiyi. Although the people in his team were young, given the special abilities they had acquired through additional training, their team tended to be in the center.
"Really?" The people outside had already gathered, and when they saw the few people coming out, they all looked over.
Lu Weiyi stood at the front and repeated his words, "I promise, as long as you hold on, you will definitely wait for the rescue team."
"The Yuebanwan Base will not abandon any teammate who fights side by side with us."
"I also hope that everyone can do their best."
He wanted to go back and didn't want to waste any more time here. Lu Weiyi's mental power swept through the space that had prepared the crystal cores for him in advance. He handed a few of the obviously different ones to Qin Jin, raised his chin towards him, and made a move to take the lead.
The two disappeared in the crowd in the blink of an eye, and the rest of the people immediately headed in different directions. The night concealed their whereabouts, but they were probably not able to hide it for too long as they were all on alert.
The various abilities made monitoring easy and also turned this trip into a battle of pure strength without any skills involved.
Even though Lu Weiyi had tried his best to use his supernatural powers to help the large army conceal themselves, the coverage area of the mutant banyan tree was too wide. As soon as they approached the territory of the neighboring city, the enemy was already on high alert.
Lu Weiyi and Qin Jin separated immediately and headed towards their respective goals.
Compared to Qin Jin who only needs to delay Wei Minglang, Lu Weiyi's responsibility is much more serious. He has to draw the attention of the entire mutant banyan tree to himself, so that other teams can approach the city without being attacked by the mutant banyan tree.
Lu Weiyi was very familiar with how to anger high-level mutant creatures - any intelligent creature could not tolerate someone targeting its crystal core, which was tantamount to attacking its life.
Everyone knew that this was a decisive battle and no one would be left any room for maneuver. Lu Weiyi ignored the zombies that attacked along the way, dodged them and ran directly towards the main trunk of the mutant banyan tree.
The towering mutated banyan tree has shown no signs of their last attack in the past few days, and has grown lush and green again. However, compared to the last time when all the energy bodies were only a few meters in size, the energy integrated into the body has now expanded to nearly five meters. Even though the other branches have been surrounded as much as possible for protection, the energy can still be clearly seen seeping through the branches.
No one knows how many crystal cores it has absorbed to reach its current state, but according to this trend, if the problem is not resolved, one day it will completely integrate the energy into its body, and it will become a formidable enemy of theirs.
Without hesitation, Lu Weiyi immediately took out the heavy weapons specially brought for this attack from the space, and attacked the trunk of the mutant banyan tree with a bang. A dazzling white light flashed, and a huge hole appeared on the mutant banyan tree, running through the trunk. The whole mutant banyan tree was waving its branches in all directions like crazy.
Without giving it time to relax, another shot was fired at the location where its energy was located, instantly shattering the branches that it had deliberately hidden outside, revealing the branches filled with energy hidden underneath.
The mutated banyan tree was completely enraged, and all the trunks and roots began to attack Lu Weiyi. After he decisively sent a signal to the cooperating team, he continued to attack the location of the crystal core.
Not long after, Liu Rui arrived with fire-type mutants, sharing some of the firepower, allowing Lu Weiyi time to distribute the heavy weapons they brought to the surrounding areas.
The deafening artillery fire echoed throughout the surrounding area, pushing the battle into a life-and-death struggle.
The giant mutated banyan tree was assisted by fire-type mutants and heavy weapons. The flames never stopped burning on its body. Its flaming branches were struggling and waving in all directions along its trunk, becoming increasingly out of control under the urging of the fire-type mutants.
The energy body of the banyan tree was released, and it was directly shattered by the crystal core weapon without the Phoenix taking any action.
This was the first time that Lu Weiyi saw this kind of damage so clearly, which made him feel that the SSS ability was not so invincible, but he was also somewhat glad that this thing appeared in his own base.
I originally thought that Lu Weiyi would be the main force in the battle, but after seeing the cooperation arranged by Lu Xiao, I realized that the most thing Lu Weiyi did was to protect the surrounding psychics from being hurt by the random attacks of the mutant banyan tree.
He became a complete support, providing defense for those around him and ensuring their attacks were maximized.
There were constant sounds of gunfire and the hideous roars of zombies coming from the surroundings, mixed in with some hoarse human language, which sounded like unwillingness and anger.
The originally standing city soon became ruins under the attack of artillery fire. As the branches of the mutant banyan tree shrank, more and more of the situation underneath was revealed. The zombies that had been lying in ambush and preparing to attack were met with a wave of cleansing before the psychics arrived.
The enhanced power of the shells was quite strong against zombies. Zombies kept disappearing in the dust, and the sparkling crystal cores fell everywhere with the flying dirt and gravel.
There are also high-level zombies that work together and organize to attack in the direction of the weapons.
