When the level 3 alarm sounded over Taoyang at three in the morning, Zhuang Wan was taking everyone to the cafeteria to blow up birthday balloons late at night.
My boss’ birthday is in two days. I don’t have time during the day, so I can only work at night.
In fact, everyone felt very heavy in their hearts. They were all aware of the news from the outside world: more and more zombies were gathering in Taoyang and Dongyang.
So far, no attack has been launched. On the one hand, it is being held back by the man-eating grass developed by Wu Zhen, and on the other hand, the mutated zombies may be waiting for the opportunity.
Obviously, the alarm was sounded, the time had come, and the first wave of attack was about to begin.
Xiao Yu was frightened by the alarm and choked. The air in the balloon flowed directly back into his lungs, choking him and making him roll his eyes.
Qian Rongrong shook him: "Stop being dazed, Boss Su will definitely speak later."
Sure enough, at the same time, Su Tao's steady voice rippled across the entire Taoyang, full of the power to stabilize people's hearts:
"Please remain calm and don't panic. The sudden alarm means that mutated zombies are attacking Taoyang's protective shield. The alarm may sound from time to time in the next few days. But I assure you that even if Taoyang is besieged by tens of thousands of mutated zombies, not even an inch of the land beneath our feet will be trampled by zombies! Everyone here will be safe and sound until everything settles!"
As soon as these words were spoken, some of the awakened tenants immediately lay back on their beds, turned off the lights and continued to sleep.
Boss Su has said it all, so there is nothing to worry about.
Some careless people even ran down to the high wall and electric fence at the border of Taoyang and yelled at the outsiders:
"You beasts! Come in if you dare!"
The sound of the shield being hit became louder.
Some people came purely to watch the fun, having never seen mutated zombies that looked like humans before and were curious.
But there was nothing to see late at night and it was very boring, so we said goodbye to each other and went back to sleep.
Let's wait and see during the day. I heard that some of the mutated zombies look deformed and have tentacles, just like an outdoor zoo.
Su Tao felt the same as everyone else.
There's really nothing to worry about.
On the contrary, she was a little excited, wishing that as many zombies as possible would come to her door, and it would be best if they could all be gathered together. When the number was almost the same, she would just throw an "Absolute Control" over and catch them all in one fell swoop.
It just so happens that Shen Wencheng is still short of zombies. The current medicine produced is only enough for spraying in most of the south, and more zombies are needed.
Now she just has to wait for the mutant zombies to gather on their own, the more the better, so she doesn't have to go through the trouble of catching them herself, and she can also give Shi Gui and the two kids a break.
At this moment, Su Tao was filled with gratitude. It was rare to find such a sensible enemy.
The only thing that gave her a bit of a headache was that once a zombie attacked the shield system would automatically sound an alarm, just like the scary alarm just now.
It wasn't a big deal originally, but once the alarm was sounded it seemed like their end was near and they were about to fall.
Fortunately, Taoyang's tenants have enough trust in her and are very calm.
There was some panic and unrest in Dongyang, which made the management work of various districts more difficult.
Su Tao had no choice but to ask the district heads to do a good job of appeasing the people.
The alarm also scared other bases, especially Changjing. A group of senior leaders were woken up in the middle of the night for a meeting, and they were thinking of sending people and weapons to Taoyang.
Can that protective shield withstand the full force attack of dozens, or even hundreds of mutant zombies?!
You have to know that a mutated zombie can single-handedly take down a small base with a permanent population of 20,000.
According to the latest news, there are more than 60 mutant zombies gathered around Taoyang, and the number is still increasing.
In such a horrific situation, it is possible that both the people and weapons sent there will be lost.
The leaders of Changjing were so panicked as if humanity was going to be extinct.
So after Su Tao comforted her own tenants, she had to comfort Changjing.
After receiving countless assurances over the phone that nothing would happen and Taoyang would never be breached, the people in Changjing finally calmed down.
Su Tao hung up the call with Chang Jing and then received a call from Zhuo Ercheng in Xindu.
Zhuo Ercheng's tone was unusually serious, with a sense of determination:
"Boss Su, Xindu can send 30,000 troops to support us, as well as 6,000 weapons, 5,000 crystal cores, and—"
Su Tao: "Although I really want it, I really don't have any use for it right now."
The phone was suddenly snatched away by Ling Tianji:
"Boss Su, please don't be so polite. Don't hold on! It's already this late. Xindu will live and die with Taoyang!"
Su Tao: “.” Has this person been successfully brainwashed by Zhuo Ercheng?
After trying hard to reject Xindu's kindness, Mayor Ren from the Wutai base called again and also said that he wanted to send people and resources.
He even proposed a self-sacrifice plan that surprised Su Tao - to help Tao Yang attract firepower and lead away some of the mutated zombies.
Mayor Ren sighed and said, "Boss Su, I used to think Taoyang was Dongyang's warehouse, and that we at Wutai could get a piece of the action. I was wrong. I think you knew we had this idea at the beginning, but you still accepted our researchers and brought back the precious identification agent without keeping anything to yourself. I am ashamed."
Su Tao was somewhat moved.
She did know that Wu Tai had been obsessed with personal gain before, and had even threatened and intimidated her at the alliance summit.
But the past is gone, and Wutai actually did not cause any loss or harm to Taoyang, so Su Tao did not take such petty grudges to heart.
"Boss Su, Taoyang is in such great danger this time. We at Wutai will never stand idly by. We can help attract firepower and lure away some of the mutant zombies. Give Taoyang a chance to breathe. You must hold on—"
Such good intentions were declined one after another, and even Yun Cang, who was struggling to protect himself next door, wanted to lend a helping hand.
The various caravans, mercenary teams, and even some gathering places with only a few thousand people that Ma Dapao knew wanted to do their best to help Taoyang.
What Su Tao didn't expect the most was that even Shouan Base made an awkward call, asking if they needed tanks. Seeing that Taoyang was pitiful, Shouan could provide fifty heavy armored tanks as a friendly favor.
He also told Taoyang not to be ungrateful and to accept them quickly, saying that these were the only fifty heavy armored tanks they had left for defense, and there were no more.
Su Tao's eyes were a little sore, but she still refused without hesitation:
"Come on, keep it for yourselves. Do you have enough identification potions? If not, I'll send you some."
Shi Zijin, who had been with her the whole time, almost laughed out loud when he heard this.
He looked out the window. Dawn had already broken in the sky, revealing a brilliant morning glow that was breathtakingly beautiful.
