Chapter 518 is worth a try.
Since zombies started to develop a little bit of self-awareness at level five, zombie hordes have become less frequent.
Of course, if such a situation occurs, the danger level would be several times greater than previous zombie hordes.
After all, zombies controlled by humans and zombies without human control are two different things.
At the entrance to the base.
After the alarm sounded, the superhumans inside the base quickly gathered at the entrance and awaited instructions.
The recruited guards stood on the city wall, keeping a close watch on the situation ahead.
As for ordinary people, most of them hid indoors, while a small number of trained individuals came out with weapons to see if they could help.
The base entrance is large, with a stone statue in the middle, but the statue is covered with a red cloth. There are also some railings and warning lines around it, with signs saying "No Entry". It is not clear what is covered inside.
When Li Si arrived, his assistant immediately came up to him and reported: "Manager Li, our scouts report that the zombie horde is less than a kilometer away from our base, and there are about 10,000 zombies. Please give instructions."
"How many flight ability users are there at the base now?"
Ten.
The assistant quickly replied, before Li Si could speak, "The method of flying ability users throwing firearms probably won't work. This zombie horde is likely being directed by a zombie with psychic abilities. The scouts ahead said that the zombie horde is very organized and they concentrate their attacks on ability users instead of scattering, which almost caused the scouts to escape."
"This is troublesome."
Li Si frowned, his mind racing through various solutions for dealing with the zombie horde. Just as he was about to speak, someone next to him said, "Manager Li, this psychic zombie should be level five. I can handle it."
He was taken aback, looked to the side, and found that the speaker was Gu Zijing from the adult team, who was a psychic.
He didn't know how strong they were, but since they were by the adults' side, their strength must not be too different.
Li Si was delighted: "You can handle a level 5 psychic zombie?"
To be honest, zombies with psychic abilities are inherently difficult to deal with, especially when they are causing trouble from the shadows.
Even those with similar abilities are sometimes focused on dealing with zombies, and before they even see the zombie, they are ambushed by it.
Dawn Base had previously encountered a small zombie horde with only a little over two thousand zombies, most of which were level three. Even so, Dawn Base had a tough time dealing with it.
The zombies controlled by the psychic zombies were no longer stupid and foolishly unaware of their abilities. Instead, they cooperated to maximize the zombies' power, which resulted in Dawn Base deploying twice as many ability users to deal with the zombie horde. Furthermore, the level 5 psychic zombie behind them managed to escape.
This time there is a zombie horde of 10,000, but the total number of superhumans in Dawn Base is only a little over 8,000. That number excludes those who are on missions outside. There are probably less than 5,000 superhumans in the base right now, which is simply not enough to deal with them.
The reason why Li Si was not in a particular hurry to ask other bases for help was because the adults were at the base.
“I can give it a try.”
Gu Zijing didn't dare to speak too confidently. If she couldn't handle it, it was okay to embarrass him, but it would be bad if she lost face as an adult.
If someone can say "let's try," then they're at least at the same level.
Li Si hadn't thought about fighting across levels. After all, he wasn't the male protagonist of a novel. While it's not impossible for someone to fight across levels, he certainly hadn't seen it before.
Li Si sincerely said, "Young friend Gu, then I'll leave it to you!"
"Um."
"Now that Mr. Gu has handed over the psychic zombie that was directing things, let's proceed according to the previous plan. Deploy the electric fence, have the flying ability users lead the way with firearms, followed closely by the firearms squad, and then the earth-type ability users provide cover..."
As Li Si issued his orders, the previously panicked crowd immediately became orderly, with everyone performing their duties and going up in teams.
Gu Zijing and the others followed Li Si to a high point on the city wall, where they saw that a new city wall and electric fence had already been erected a hundred meters ahead.
Ten flying ability users flew ahead and above, each carrying a bag on their back and holding a bomb in their hand.
Below the city wall stood rows of guards dressed in uniform black combat gear, each carrying a gun. There were about two hundred of them, all with focused expressions and eyes fixed ahead.
"Hehehe—"
The howling of zombies came from afar.
In less than a minute, the dark scene became visible to the naked eye. Above the zombies were four flying zombies with large black wings, twisted joints, and grayish-blue skin, looking like a new type of monster.
Li Si looked through the binoculars, silently calculating the distance in his mind. Then he put down the binoculars and said to Gu Zijing, "Mr. Gu, the psychic attack in a little while will depend on you. Of course, our psychic users will also help out."
Dawn Base has two psychic abilities, one of whom is a dual-ability user of flight and psychic abilities. This person is used as a spy.
If this superhuman hadn't possessed dual abilities, he wouldn't have been able to escape after discovering the zombie horde.
Gu Zijing nodded: "Don't worry."
Pei Yi said from the side, "Manager Li, we'll help out later too."
Thank you everyone.
Li Si said something, and then waved the red flag in his hand towards the superpowered beings in the distance.
The next second, the flying ability user made the first move.
One bomb after another was thrown into the zombie horde two hundred meters away. There were so many zombies that it was easy to hit them with any throw.
Because of the distance, the bomb exploded as soon as it reached the zombie's head.
Bombs rained down like a dense storm, one after another.
Soon, earthen walls and water curtains appeared above the zombies in front, which weakened the power of the bombs to some extent, and even isolated the zombies from their power.
Bang bang bang—
The sound of bombs was incessant.
Sensing the fluctuations in mental energy, Gu Zijing immediately activated his mental attack. There were too many zombies, making it difficult for him to locate their leader.
But it's alright, he can take his time. After all, when it comes to storing superpowers, no one has more than him.
If the superpower is lost, it can be immediately reabsorbed using a pure crystal core.
What can the zombie commander use to fight him?
Despite the hundreds of zombies falling ahead, the zombie horde continued its advance, its corpses mercilessly trampled.
When they got close enough, the firearms squad opened fire.
Submachine guns, mortars, and other long-range firearms and ammunition were all fired.
Immediately, the superhumans joined the battle, unleashing all sorts of superpowers. The zombies' superpowers also came at them, and the earth-type superhumans instantly helped with cover and defense.
The flying superhumans and the firearms squad retreated into the base while they were under cover, and then the city gates closed instantly.
