91 Days of Scavenging
The news that the little robot possessed a special scroll of supernatural abilities was no longer a secret among well-informed individuals at Hope Base and Mountain Base, as he had not requested it be kept confidential.
Now that the mountain base has encountered a horde of zombies, they will naturally try to concentrate their firepower, and the owner of Naji Store, who has been making a lot of noise lately, will certainly not be overlooked.
At this moment, Feng Lixuan told the little robot about the military strength and various defenses of the Qunshan Base, including the presence of superhumans, without reservation, and sincerely expressed his need for help.
"Okay." The little robot agreed without hesitation.
Even if Feng Lixuan hadn't come to him, he would have stepped forward when he learned of the zombie siege. Given the magnitude of this human survival crisis, he couldn't possibly stand idly by!
The little robot closed the store door and followed Feng Lixuan toward the base command center.
Along the way, there were panicked base residents. The superhumans had all received the news and were summoned to the base walls in several directions to follow instructions and prepare to resist the zombie horde. Only these panicked ordinary people remained in the base.
They had all heard that there was no way to escape, and some people refused to believe it, shouting for the base gate to be opened, and some even climbed the city wall with red eyes.
The noisy roars intensified the despair in the hearts of those around them.
Some people had their supplies scattered all over the ground, and they were too lazy to clean them up, so they just slumped over.
Since we're all going to die anyway, why bother collecting anything?
Some people clearly wanted to eat their fill, taking out all the food they had carefully stored away and eating it to their heart's content.
They were afraid that if the base fell, they wouldn't have finished eating and it would be wasted.
More often than not, they would hug their relatives and friends and weep.
But some refused to accept their fate and wanted to fight back, holding weapons and staring intently at the direction outside the base, hoping to contribute to the fight against the zombie horde.
These human emotions were so intense, no matter what, that the little robot took in everything. Its emotional programming seemed to have been subtly affected as well, and for a moment, it felt an indescribable surge of emotion welling up inside it.
This emotional fluctuation had a significant impact on the little robot, so much so that when he saw that the mountain base did not have a particularly rich stockpile of weapons, he took the initiative to stand at the front of the base's city wall.
From that vantage point, one could see the densely packed army of zombies in front of them with perfect clarity.
Waves of various colored superpowers flew down from the city wall. At this time, the superpowered individuals did not need to worry about accuracy. Even if they threw with their eyes closed, they would definitely hit a zombie.
You can easily imagine how densely packed the zombies would be!
A group of superhumans unleashed their powers without reservation. Feeling their bodies empty and exhausted, they quickly retreated to the back. Another group of superhumans, who had been prepared behind them, immediately took their place and continued to throw their powers into the approaching horde of zombies.
The returning ability users had no time to rest. People specifically responsible for distributing crystal cores of the same attribute immediately placed the cores in their hands. These ability users sat down on the spot, closed their eyes, and began to absorb the energy from the crystal cores to restore their strength.
Besides the superhumans giving their all, those without superpowers also relentlessly attacked the zombies with weapons, all in an effort to slow down the zombie horde's advance by even the slightest bit.
Their efforts were worthwhile; although the zombie horde kept pouring into the base, the front line of defense had not yet been breached!
only……
No one felt any relief whatsoever.
The zombies in the distance continued to pour into the base in an endless stream, with no end in sight.
And these are just low-level zombies.
Those advanced mutated zombies haven't even appeared yet!
Advanced zombies are far more difficult to deal with than low-level zombies, both in terms of speed and physical strength. They even possess supernatural abilities, making the difficulty for humans to face them increase exponentially!
The thought of this made it impossible for anyone to feel happy, even though they had managed to hold off the zombie horde.
Just as the little robot stepped to the front, a group of superhumans, exhausted from their efforts, were changing shifts. Someone noticed him and looked surprised.
Because of Naji's shop, many people know this snow-haired shop owner.
Seeing this person standing at the very front, the one who is assumed to have the highest output, everyone couldn't help but divert some attention to him during this tense moment.
I can't help it, I'm just curious.
Ignoring the stares of those around them, the little robot took a cardboard box from the recycling bin and opened it.
Inside, scrolls of various patterns were crammed together.
The Feng brothers and several soldiers had been following behind the small robot. When they saw the box, they were both surprised and delighted.
The little robot didn't waste any time and quickly handed out scrolls to them, with each person carrying a bunch.
"I've already explained how to use it and the coverage area, so I won't repeat it. If you need more, come and get some more; I have more here."
As he spoke, his hands didn't stop; he quickly tore open a scroll and threw it into the zombie horde.
In an instant, everything in sight turned red, and flames that could ignite at the slightest touch burned fiercely among the zombie horde!
In the blink of an eye, a large area of the densely packed zombie horde was cleared, leaving only a dark patch of "gray" where it had been.
Everyone who witnessed the scroll's power for the first time was stunned and even doubted their own eyes.
"Let's move out, the zombies are coming again."
The little robot couldn't help but speak up to remind us.
The Feng brothers, who had regained their senses, and all the soldiers holding the scrolls were much stiffer than before.
What he's holding isn't a scroll, it's a bunch of nuclear bombs!
Despite their tension, their hearts inexplicably relaxed at that moment. Their steps quickened considerably as they set off to distribute the scrolls according to the previously agreed-upon route and locations.
Not only them, but everyone near the little robot who witnessed that scene couldn't help but sigh in unison—
"There's hope!"
"You bet! That was incredibly powerful! Just a light throw, and it instantly wiped out such a large group of zombies. Even the strongest known superhuman couldn't do that!"
And that scroll looks like it can be used by someone else!
Look at all those people carrying such a huge pile! Judging from what that Ji Tong said, he still has a lot more in his hands!
If these things were thrown into the zombie horde, even a god wouldn't be able to withstand it!
With that in mind, how could we possibly lose the base?
Some people couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Soon, as sound effects and light effects appeared one after another around the base, accompanied by countless people exclaiming in shock, the zombie horde seemed to disappear in an instant.
As soon as one area clears up, another one opens up over there. Before the zombies can even surge over from behind, another scroll is unleashed, creating yet another zombie crater.
The empty spaces are too full to be filled by all those zombies!
Suddenly, the relationship between the base and the zombie horde was completely reversed.
A deafening cheer erupted from the city wall.
Everyone knows that the mountain base has been saved!
Sure enough, after Feng Lixuan and his group replenished the scrolls at the little robot, the zombie horde that had been pouring into the base without stopping suddenly stopped.
The visually enhanced individual, seeing this from afar, happily reported to the others: "They've retreated! They've retreated!"
Not long after he finished speaking, the zombies that had surged in like a tide receded just as quickly.
In less than an hour, the hordes of zombies were no longer visible around the base.
Only a few zombies with broken legs, unable to move, swarmed on the ground.
Even ordinary people could see the situation now; the base had truly survived the zombie siege!
Some of the superhumans even said, "Why don't they keep coming? If they get cleared out by the scrolls a few more times, maybe they can clear out all the zombies around here, and then it will be safer to travel in the future."
The person with superpowers who said this was met with eye-rolls from those around him, who criticized him for being greedy.
However, everyone then chimed in with "Yeah, right?", which drew a burst of laughter.
.
Having survived the zombie siege, the mountain base decides to hold a celebration.
As the biggest contributor to this effort, the little robot naturally received an invitation well in advance. The leaders of the Qunshan Base wanted to thank him in front of the entire base and even wanted to erect a statue in his honor.
The little robot repeatedly waved its hands in refusal.
Although it refused to have a statue erected, the little robot did not refuse to participate in the celebration.
He even took the initiative to provide some supplies so that the Qunshan base could make the celebration even better.
As for being invited by the base leaders to go on stage and express their gratitude in public, the little robot naturally refused, but it couldn't refuse.
Even after solemnly expressing his gratitude to everyone at the Qunshan base, the leader handed the microphone to the little robot.
The little robot, facing this scene for the first time, was completely at a loss.
After a moment, he managed to say, "Ahem, um... I hope everyone will pick up trash and patronize my shop. That's all I have to say."
The little robot shoved the hot potato-like microphone back into the leader's arms.
Laughter filled the air both on and off the stage.
Some of the bolder ones even shouted, "Don't worry, Mr. Ji! I'll send you a huge pile of garbage tomorrow!"
The little robot responded by nodding.
.
Not everyone was happy about the celebration.
At least Tan Mengzhu's face was gloomy.
She thought she was going to die twice. Once was when she encountered the vanguard of the zombie horde shortly after leaving the mountain base, and the second time was when the zombies besieged the city.
But even though she's still alive, Tan Mengzhu feels she'd be better off dead!
She was badly injured when she escaped from the zombie horde's vanguard back to the mountain base.
She's disfigured!
Not only was she disfigured, but her arm was also broken, and even half of her chest was sunken in and disappeared.
Everything she was so proud of is gone!
Tan Mengzhu was furious when she saw her current appearance.
It's all Ji Tong's fault! If he hadn't rejected my advances, I wouldn't have left so quickly in a huff, I wouldn't have encountered the vanguard of the zombie horde, and I wouldn't be in this situation now!
Moreover, although she didn't go out today, she heard shouts of Ji Tong's name coming from outside.
She was furious. If he had agreed to be with her, all of this would be hers! She should be standing tall and proud, surrounded by cheering crowds, not here like a mouse!
No matter how angry she was, Tan Mengzhu knew that she couldn't show any abnormality, because the most important thing for her right now was to recover.
And perhaps those magical scrolls of Najitong can do that.
Therefore, she needs to think of a better way.
Tan Mengzhu didn't think she could get what she wanted by begging Ji Tong, since she had offended him and he would definitely not do business with her again.
We need to find another way.
