The off-road vehicle slowly approached, and the full picture of the red base gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.
The towering city wall is made of reinforced concrete and is more than ten meters high. It is like a sleeping dragon, protecting the entire base firmly.
On the city wall, there is a watchtower at regular intervals, with fully armed soldiers patrolling back and forth on it, vigilantly watching everything around them.
"Wow, this base is so huge!" The young girl leaned on the car window, amazed.
The middle-aged man nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's even more spectacular than I imagined!"
Zhou Yuxuan parked the car in front of the base gate. The gate was closed. Two rows of soldiers armed with live ammunition stood at the door. They had serious faces, sharp eyes, and exuded a murderous aura.
"Stop the car! Be inspected!" A soldier walked up, knocked on the car window, and signaled Zhou Yuxuan to get out.
Zhou Yuxuan and Chen Xiaoru looked at each other and got out of the car.
Others also got out of the car behind and stood aside waiting.
"Who are you? Where are you from? What is your purpose here?" the soldier asked as a matter of routine, his voice cold and emotionless.
"We are survivors who fled from the south and want to seek refuge in the Red Base." The middle-aged man stepped forward and answered respectfully.
The soldier's eyes swept over everyone, finally landing on Zhou Yuxuan and Chen Xiaoru.
"Are you people with superpowers?" He keenly sensed the unusual aura emanating from the two people.
"Yes." Zhou Yuxuan nodded without hiding anything.
The soldier's eyes changed slightly, and his tone softened a little: "Those with special abilities are given priority. You two follow me, and the others will wait here."
Zhou Yuxuan and Chen Xiaoru followed the soldiers into the base, passed through a long corridor, and came to a spacious hall.
There were already quite a few people queuing in the hall. They were all survivors from all over the place, waiting to be registered and arranged by the base.
"Name, age, and ability." The soldier in charge of registration asked without even looking up.
"Zhou Yuxuan, 24 years old, dual-element abilities of Thunder and Psychic."
"Chen Xiaoru, 20 years old, no special abilities."
"Dual powers?!" The soldier in charge of registration suddenly raised his head, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Are you sure?"
"Sure." Zhou Yuxuan replied calmly.
The soldier looked at Zhou Yuxuan deeply, then lowered his head and wrote down Zhou Yuxuan and Chen Xiaoru's information on the registration form.
"Wait here first. Someone will take you to test your ability level later."
"good."
The two found an empty seat and sat down, waiting quietly.
"It seems that dual-system psychics are also rare here." Chen Xiaoru said in a low voice.
"Well, after all, the probability of awakening superpowers is very low, and dual-system superpowers is even lower." Zhou Yuxuan nodded.
Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall, followed by a shrill alarm that echoed throughout the base.
“Woo—woo—woo—”
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
The hall exploded in an instant, people whispered to each other in fear, and the buzz of discussion exploded in the crowd like thunder.
"Oh my God, a tide of zombies? How could this happen?" A young woman's face turned pale and her voice trembled incoherently.
"It's over, it's over, I'm dead now!" A middle-aged man next to him slumped to the ground, his eyes vacant, muttering to himself.
"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet!" An officer in camouflage uniform with shining epaulettes strode into the hall, his powerful roar drowning out the noisy voices.
He had thick eyebrows and large eyes, and his gaze was as sharp as a torch as he scanned the panicked crowd. "The zombie tide is approaching, and the base has entered level one combat readiness!"
"All those with special abilities, follow me!" The officer waved his hand and turned to walk out. "Everyone else, follow the previous drill and head to the shelter!"
Zhou Yuxuan and Chen Xiaoru looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.
They stood up and followed the officer out quickly.
Climbing up the city wall, the sight before them made them gasp.
Outside the base, a black mass of zombies swarmed in like a swarm of ants, so dense that there was no end in sight.
They bared their fangs and claws, let out low growls from their throats, and attacked the walls of the base frantically, as if they wanted to tear everything into pieces.
"roar……"
"hiss……"
The roars and growls of the zombies were deafening and made people's scalps tingle.
The air was filled with a strong stench of decay and blood, which was nauseating.
Chen Xiaoru held the frying pan tightly, her palms slightly sweating. She looked at the tide of corpses in the distance with an expressionless face and cold eyes.
"So many..." Zhou Yuxuan muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, his face a little pale.
Although he had awakened dual abilities, he was still a little frightened when faced with such a huge tide of zombies.
"Are you scared?" Chen Xiaoru glanced at Zhou Yuxuan, her tone still cold.
"How is that possible?" Zhou Yuxuan came back to his senses, a sickly smile on his lips, "I'm just... a little excited."
He licked his lips, his eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light, like a beast about to hunt.
"Hmph." Chen Xiaoru snorted coldly. Without saying anything, she just gripped the frying pan tighter in her hand.
"Fire!"
The officer's order exploded on the city wall like thunder, carrying unquestionable majesty.
The soldiers on the city wall quickly pulled the trigger, and dense bullets poured down like a rainstorm, interweaving into a web of death, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the zombies.
