Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Zombies
The sleeping people were awakened by the shrill screams. After a brief pause, they hurried to the nearest shelter - the continuous disaster prevention drills had formed muscle memory in them.
However, there is still some difference in the minds of the base residents between disaster prevention drills and real disasters.
No matter how hard the community workers tried or how loudly they reminded people, there were still people who quickly packed up their belongings in the hope of getting away with it.
The boundary between money and life is extremely blurred at this moment.
"Hey, hey, hey, meat. There's still some meat left."
"You are so stupid! You are about to die, what are you going to take?"
"You're stupid. There's nothing to eat in the shelter. What if I have to fight for three days and three nights? I'd rather die well-fed."
…
Similar conversations and scenes appear in different families.
Some people choose to leave everything behind and go away, some choose to pack up their belongings, and everyone makes the choice they think is right.
He Junxia put on his clothes with a serious expression, as he was about to rush to his own battlefield.
"Take good care of my mom, please."
Da Huang is a fourth-level alien beast, Xiao Hei is a third-level alien beast, and Xie Chaoyang is a third-level wind-type alien. He Junxia believes in their strength and also believes in the weapons he has made for them.
The only thing that worried him was Xie Liqing, who was so weak that she couldn't even tie a chicken.
Xie Chaoyang's eyes were firm, and he clenched his fists. "Brother, don't worry. Even if I die, I won't let Mom get hurt."
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about, kid."
Xie Liqing couldn't stand hearing such words, so she quickly stepped forward and manually shut the child's mouth, her eyes revealing tension and worry.
She looked at her son's tall figure, and all her words came together in one sentence: "Xiao Da, we'll be waiting for you at home."
"As you command, my lord."
The young man's funny tone and expression briefly dispelled Xie Liqing's worries. She couldn't help but reach out her hand and wanted to slap her shameless son as usual.
But the hand suddenly changed direction in mid-air and gently wiped the white dust off the young man's shoulders.
Xie Liqing watched her child go away.
The young man's back gradually lengthened under the moonlight, until it completely disappeared after a certain point, like a cool breeze on a summer night that you could not catch no matter how hard you tried.
Xie Liqing stood there in a daze, feeling an inexplicable panic and loss, as if her child, the one she had carried for ten months, had passed away with the wind.
However, Xie Chaoyang, who was very close to her, had another kind of longing for the future, admiration for his idol and desire to fight side by side with her in his eyes.
The grass in front of the door swayed in the night wind. The early spring wind was still chilly, and Xie Liqing couldn't help but shiver.
It happened so suddenly that she was only wearing a thin long-sleeved pajamas.
Xie Chaoyang waved away the cold night wind, stepped forward and took Xie Liqing's hand: "Mom, let's go back. Be careful not to catch a cold."
The villa area's defense measures are among the best in the entire base, and each villa has an underground shelter built by high-level psychics, so they don't have to leave home in a hurry like other people.
Xie Liqing reluctantly withdrew her gaze and silently prayed to God in her heart, hoping that everything would be safe and smooth.
The door was closed, the lights were off, and only a few faint breathing sounds were heard in the dark villa, as if there was no one there.
In fact, the big orange cat was pacing in the room, its tail swaying restlessly, its pointed ears erect, and its nostrils flaring, trying to absorb information from the air.
A big black rooster stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, staring at the dark night sky with its sharp eagle-like eyes, always alert to the killer from the sky.
Xie Chaoyang stayed by Xie Liqing's side without leaving, with the supernatural powers in his body ready to be unleashed. If there was any unusual movement in the outside world, he would attack without hesitation.
Xie Liqing looked at several family members who were highly focused, and her chaotic brain seemed to be awakened by a splash of cold water - as the person with the most social experience and the most experienced adult in the family, she should remain rational instead of panicking like a headless fly and waiting for others to protect her.
Xie Liqing calmed down, took a deep breath, and began to think about the next countermeasures.
The other side
He Junxia rushed to the weapons manufacturing department as quickly as possible. There were many people on the road who were "going against the flow" like him.
People hurried into the meeting room, swept by the chill of early spring, with sadness and anxiety silently spreading across their faces.
The disaster that led to the destruction of the Red Mountain Base left a deep mark in their hearts, and no one could ignore or forget it, even though most of them were powerful psychics in the eyes of ordinary people.
Fortunately, the confusion of the crowd did not last too long. A few minutes later, the backbone arrived. Minister Pang walked into the meeting room with great vigor and decisiveness, explained the current situation concisely and clearly, and assigned tasks to each group in an orderly manner.
After a series of operations, everyone felt motivated and hopeful, and their anxious hearts gradually settled down - although the zombie siege was scary, they had made some progress during this period.
Who says humans will definitely lose?!
Whether it’s a mule or a horse, take them out for a walk!
In such an atmosphere, everyone's work was in full swing, and the huge building was brightly lit all night long.
They are not on the battlefield, but they have their own battlefield.
The people and equipment that really need to go to the battlefield have already arrived at their own positions based on the results of multiple drills.
Maybe some people were afraid, but no one thought of giving up.
This is their home, their relatives and compatriots are here, and this is a war that is destined to be a life-and-death battle.
However, just as everyone was determined to defend the base even at the cost of their lives, the following developments became strange, as if an invisible giant hand had forcibly broken up the huge zombie tide.
Only two or three zombies actually broke through the heavy defenses and reached the city.
Not to mention breaking through the base gate, the machine guns mounted on the city walls alone are enough to turn them into sieves.
…
The next day, the sky brightened
The warm sunshine dispelled the chill of the spring night, and the seemingly surging tide of zombies broke up into small pieces and scattered in all directions.
A war that was expected to be terrible ended in such a whimper, and almost all the soldiers on the front line were completely confused.
They have made up their minds to die on the battlefield, and they don't mind dying together with the enemy.
But nothing happened.
Why?
Although it seems to be a great thing on the surface and has greatly reduced casualties on our side, it cannot help but make people worried and vigilant, doubting the meaning behind the false zombie tide and wondering if there is a bigger conspiracy behind the scenes.
The soldiers on the front line thought so, the higher-ups at the base thought so, and the residents who had just walked out of the shelter thought so too. The once noisy and bustling base was now reduced to only one sound.
The suspicious zombie tide is like the sword of Damocles hanging over the base. People will not be able to rest easy until the root cause of the problem is found.
Except He Junxia.
After a busy night, his eyes were bruised, his face was tired from staying up all night and exhausting his supernatural powers, and every joint in his limbs was sore.
He Junxia didn't care about this war that started off well but ended badly, but he would rather recover his condition than be nervous and speculate aimlessly.
Otherwise, if the zombie tide suddenly came back, he would be so exhausted that he would have no place to cry.
He Junxia took out the key and opened the door. Xie Liqing wanted to ask him about the details of last night, but when she saw her son's tired appearance, heartache immediately surged in her heart, and she ruthlessly put the previous thought behind her.
"You must be hungry. Come, eat a bowl of noodles first before going to bed."
"good."
He Junxia sat down readily, facing the fragrant aroma, and finished a large bowl of noodles in just a few mouthfuls.
The noodles and side dishes are all made from exotic animals and plants. The soup made from them also has a taste of energy. When the warm noodle soup flows into the stomach, a warm current flows through the meridians to all parts of the body, dispelling fatigue in the body.
After eating the noodles, He Junxia was urged by Xie Liqing to go to rest. Although he had obsessive-compulsive disorder, he still insisted on changing into pajamas before going to bed.
Perhaps due to the severe depletion of his supernatural powers and physical strength, he fell asleep almost the next second. A moment later, loud snoring sounded, and the people and animals in the villa spontaneously lightened their footsteps.
Three hours later, He Junxia woke up. He opened his eyes and listened to the special notification tone coming from his mobile phone with a clear look in his eyes.
Something big happened!
