A foul, fishy smell gradually filled the air; it was unpleasant and disgusting.
Ruan Tian forcibly suppressed the urge to vomit, carefully sensed the surroundings, and immediately realized that the mermaids in the river might have already come ashore!
Normal zombies smell bad, at most a rotten smell.
But these fishmen are different; they're really fishy.
Ruan Tian had followed Ye Mofeng and Gu Yi to the tallest building in the temporary camp. From the top of the building, they could clearly see everything around them.
Under the influence of the Red Moon, many zombies have experienced a significant enhancement in their sense of smell, movement speed, and destructive capabilities.
In Ruan Tian's field of vision, countless black dots appeared; these were all zombies.
Their enhanced sense of smell allowed them to detect the scent of human flesh and blood in the air with remarkable sensitivity.
Unable to resist their craving for fresh human flesh, the zombies swarmed in large numbers towards the makeshift camp.
Even though Ruan Tian already knew in advance that this zombie horde was the most severe one ever.
But when she saw the scene before her eyes, she was still shocked!
"This is insane!" Ruan Tian got goosebumps and gasped, disgusted by the dense horde of zombies.
Ye Mofeng remained calm and reassured everyone, "Don't be afraid. Gu Yi and I have reinforced the defenses around here, so these Tier 1 zombies can't get in at all."
What truly terrified them were the second-tier zombies.
Just like humans, zombies' abilities can also evolve, and the abilities they evolve may be even more diverse than those of humans.
The invisible zombie that Ruan Tian saw in B City is the best example.
In order for humanity to survive, in addition to constantly improving their superpower level, it is also necessary to seize the opportunities that allow them to live.
Ruan Tian had great faith in Ye Mofeng and Gu Yi's abilities; with these two on their side, resisting these level one zombies would be quite easy.
The real challenge lies with the second-tier zombies lurking among them, as they may have already awakened all sorts of bizarre superpowers.
The fact that zombies are immune to pain is practically a cheat code; this alone has already put many humans to shame.
Sensing Ruan Tian's worries, Ye Mofeng reassured her, "It's alright, trust me and Gu Yi."
Although Ye Mofeng sometimes disliked Gu Yi, he had to admit that Gu Yi did a very good job in defense.
Ye Mofeng wouldn't subconsciously ignore Gu Yi's contributions and strengths just because he had some dissatisfaction with Gu Yi.
Other survivors shared the same concerns as Ruan Tian; they were also terrified of the second-tier zombies.
The future of humanity is becoming increasingly bleak.
Gu Yi pointed to the pit behind the base gate and explained to everyone:
"Actually, I had already considered this issue before the Red Moon Tide broke out, but at the unanimous request of Ye Mofeng and me, the earth-type ability users in our base worked together."
Together, they created a sturdy earthen wall. When powerful zombies break through our first line of defense, we can simply release this earthen wall, which can resist a lot of zombies.
This will buy us more time to survive, so there's no need to worry. We are all survivors in this apocalypse, and we should work together to ensure the continuation of human civilization.
It must be said that Gu Yi is a very good speaker and very good at inspiring people.
His speech greatly reduced the survivors' fear, and many began to feel more confident.
While the others weren't paying attention, Gu Yi secretly turned his head to look at Ruan Tian and winked at her gently, as if he were asking for praise.
Ruan Tian quickly understood Gu Yi's meaning. His special ability was mind reading, and she guessed that he had heard many people in the upper echelons of society speak like that when they were in City A.
Now that he's learning, he's naturally quite adept at it, and it's no challenge for him at all.
Ruan Tian quietly gave Gu Yi a thumbs-up, praising him for doing a great job.
But in a corner unnoticed by anyone, Lu Xuexue's gaze turned cold as she stared at the zombies on the ground and the survivors in front of her.
Pence was holding a new woman in his arms, presumably someone he had just started dating in the last few days.
Lu Xuexue's appeal to Pence has now dropped to zero.
If it weren't for Ye Mofeng's words, Peng Si wouldn't have bothered with Lu Xuexue at all and would have just told her to die.
This resulted in Lu Xuexue living a life of luxury before, and even after the apocalypse, she lived happily thanks to Ye Mofeng.
But this sudden change is something she can't take anymore!
The survivors in the temporary base also looked down on Lu Xuexue, thinking she was a treacherous bitch.
Suffering from Pence's passive-aggressive behavior and being looked down upon by the other survivors, Lu Xuexue's life was miserable, and her heart had long been twisted.
If she's not doing well, then nobody else should be doing well either!
Lu Xuexue sneered and slipped downstairs while no one was paying attention to her.
To get revenge on Ruan Tian, Ye Mofeng, Peng Si, and all the survivors who ignored her, she decided to do something very daring.
Ruan Tian was completely unaware that Lu Xuexue had disappeared without her noticing.
Her attention was focused on the zombies downstairs, especially the mermaids who had already hidden themselves, who were Ruan Tian's focus.
The fact that the other party was able to injure Gu Yi in the water proves that the other party is not a single-celled organism and may have already developed self-awareness.
With this thought in mind, Ruan Tian narrowed her eyes and continued searching the surroundings.
To Ruan Tian's disappointment, she couldn't find any trace of these mermaids, but she dared not let her guard down.
Even though she couldn't see the mermaids now, the fishy smell in the air was getting stronger and stronger.
This proves that these fishmen are indeed moving towards the temporary base, but they also possess exceptional intelligence and know how to conceal themselves.
Ruan Tian forced herself to suppress her inner panic and continued to keep her eyes glued to the screen.
The first wave of zombies consisted of no powerful zombies, only the lowest-level ones, all just there to make up the numbers and posing no threat whatsoever.
With several long-range attackers in their base, plus pre-set traps, taking down these Tier 1 zombies was quite easy.
Before Ruan Tian and the other survivors could even celebrate, they quickly realized something was wrong!
She sniffed and smelled an extremely strong fishy odor!
No sooner said than done!
Ruan Tian has sharp eyes and immediately spotted some mermaids at the very back of the zombie pile.
Their upper bodies are extremely ugly. Some of the mermaids have scales that have burst open, and their bodies are covered with small bulges filled with pus!
It looks absolutely disgusting!
Ironically, he also had normal human legs growing from his feet, creating an extremely eerie feeling.
Ruan Tian's vigilance instantly heightened, and she loudly reminded:
"Those mermaids are coming! Be very careful!"
