Chapter 42: All or Nothing! Savior!
"Where on earth did all these zombies come from?!"
There were so many zombies that even Jiang Changyi felt desperate.
Chu Yesheng is a strong 1v1 fighter, but facing this kind of group attack battle, his energy reserves seem a bit stretched.
Zhimi is a master of illusion, but zombies have no intelligence...illusions are ineffective against them.
So even Jiang Changyi was powerless to do anything about this situation.
"Are we just going to stay here and die?"
"wrong……"
Jiang Changyi knew that Zong Qiong was not the kind of person who would do useless work. If he really felt that the base could not withstand the current situation, he would have organized a retreat and escape long ago.
"You already have a plan, right?"
Zong Qiong chuckled, "Haha... That's basically the situation. It can be called a desperate situation, but I do have a trump card."
"Tom, what are you waiting for? The zombies have already rushed into the base, why don't you show your trump card?!" Jiang Changyi's forehead veins were throbbing.
He suddenly realized that this leader who had always been calm and self-controlled actually had a dark side hidden deep in his heart, but there were too few people who could come into contact with him, and even fewer people who could see this.
Zong Qiong: "It's not time yet. I need some time to prepare. My research on magic crystals is still in its infancy, and the weapons I create have unknown risks. However, I am 40% sure that I can resolve this crisis."
“Forty percent?!”
"Only 40%?!"
Jiang Changyi was speechless.
"With such a low success rate, you actually want us to stay and defend the city?!"
He practically roared.
"Calm down." Zong Qiong's voice was as calm as ever. "This is already the option with the highest success rate. Do you know what would happen if we chose to abandon the city?"
"Faced with the fearless zombie horde, no one was willing to remain behind. Everyone fled in disarray, some even willing to harm others to create a chance to escape."
"Besides that, there was the stampede, the crowds, the panic, and the running of the herbivores on the African savannah."
"By then, out of the 5,326 men on this base, we'd be lucky if only 500 survived."
On the rooftop of the tallest building of Xijiang University, Zong Qiong was gazing into the distance. He had severed his spiritual connection with Jiang Changyi.
There were many strange parts and glowing crystals floating around him, rotating around each other in an extremely strange way.
As these parts moved faster and faster, a line of blood and tears slowly flowed from the corners of Zong Qiong's eyes, and blood gradually seeped out of his ears and nostrils, looking very scary.
His mental power and analytical ability have been pushed to the limit, and being able to establish a mental link with Jiang Changyi is the last drop he can squeeze out.
"So, Jiang Changyi, the person who should reveal your cards is you..."
"If I can't buy more time, even if I crack this great rune technology, I won't be able to save the situation."
Although Zong Qiong is also an advanced awakener, with his current analytical ability, it is still very difficult for him to crack the rune technology.
Now, forcibly activating the rune's power was actually depleting his vitality. Perhaps after using this rune, his life would come to an end.
"hehe."
The blood looked so bright on his pale face, but he could still smile.
"Being able to decipher such great rune technology at the last moment of my life, perhaps seeing my father in the underworld won't be so depressing, right?"
"Although... I don't believe that Huangquan exists in this world."
…
"ah!!!!"
Zombies with bloodshot eyes rushed into the base. Even if the guards did not retreat, they could not stop the zombies from breaking through the defense line.
Wan Xiaoyu was very scared. She was a very timid person. If Guo Beibei had not been by her side, she would probably have been so scared that she would have closed her eyes and squatted on the spot.
——Although her legs are shaking like a sieve and are not much better now.
Wan Xiaoyu and Guo Beibei were in the temporary watchtower at the door. As medical personnel and highly flexible scouts, they were responsible for providing timely support to various locations.
"Light rain."
Guo Beibei's voice at this moment was as cold as the winter wind.
Wan Xiaoyu looked up at her. The girl holding the bow and the moon was staring at the tide of zombies outside, and from time to time she shot an arrow at the second-level or even third-level zombies in the tide of zombies.
As an awakened archer, Guo Beibei is the best hunter to kill these high-level zombies.
Wan Xiaoyu actually admires her a little.
She is also a girl, but she is so brave.
Hearing Guo Beibei calling her, Wan Xiaoyu responded, "I'm here. What's wrong, Sister Beibei?"
Guo Beibei sneered: "Do you see the arrows in my quiver? Take one."
"Okay..." Although Wan Xiaoyu didn't understand why, she still took it obediently.
Guo Beibei quickly explained the reason: "If the base falls, you will pierce my heart with this arrow."
Wan Xiaoyu exclaimed: "No!!"
"Haha." Guo Beibei could actually laugh. "It's okay, Xiaoyu. I don't want to become one of those ugly and disgusting zombies even more than dying."
Looking at Guo Beibei's clear and handsome profile, Wan Xiaoyu had a lot of thoughts in her mind.
She is truly a woman with the demeanor of a general.
She doesn't care about her skin getting tanned, because she says, "Why should beauty and ugliness be defined by skin color?"
She doesn't care that her arm muscles have become bigger from practicing archery. She says, "Why should muscles be a man's privilege?"
Guo Beibei is really different from herself. Wan Xiaoyu is often surprised by her ideas, but... she does not oppose her views.
Wan Xiaoyu even often thinks that it would be great if she could be as brave as Guo Beibei.
"No... No way... The base won't fall!" Tears began to glisten in Wan Xiaoyu's eyes. "We, we will definitely be able to defend the base!"
"if only……"
As long as we move forward together.
【All suffering will disappear with the wind! 】
A voice sounded from deep within her mind, causing Wan Xiaoyu to fall into a brief daze.
…
Ma Jianyue's sword was like a sickle for reaping heads. He swung it left and right, and corpses piled up around him.
The president of the martial arts club, who always had his hair slicked back before the apocalypse, no longer had the chance to take care of his hair after the apocalypse, so he simply shaved his head into a neat crew cut, which actually made him look less greasy.
But at this time, his body and face were already splattered with black blood, and wherever he stepped, he would step on his palms or legs. He looked like a Shura from hell.
Looking at the countless zombies in the distance, he couldn't help but feel a deep despair in his heart.
Can you still hold on...
Will a savior appear...
