Chapter 79 Everyone shares the same hope...
The alarm was blaring loudly, and the voices broadcasting over the base were also very loud and urgent.
The zombie horde was already heading towards their base, and they were surrounded on all sides; they were clearly prepared.
Liang You has been bringing people back frequently lately; the matter of the Peace Base can no longer be kept secret.
Regardless of who is behind this or what their purpose is, since they attacked other bases, they will not let this base go.
The reason for bringing people back is that there is another screening process. One is to help them integrate better into their base, and the other is to prevent the mastermind from infiltrating their base and causing trouble.
Although I knew this would happen, it was still very sudden, coming so quickly.
Fortunately, they weren't entirely unprepared. Liang You looked at Sheng Hui, nodded to her, and then took out a walkie-talkie.
"Summon everyone immediately and prepare for battle."
Yes, everyone.
The situation didn't catch them off guard; they already had a plan. When they suddenly heard the alarm, they were indeed worried for a moment, but then everyone skillfully grabbed whatever was at hand and ran out.
Now everyone has superpowers. Even after leaving the construction base, everyone continued to train themselves. Upon hearing the call to action, everyone immediately ran out.
The base has recently received many people and has also expanded considerably.
Many ordinary people only became superhumans after arriving at the base. Before, they relied on superhumans for protection, but now that they also have superpowers, they no longer need to fear zombies. The thought of facing zombies soon fills them with anticipation.
All high-level ability users should go to the outermost city wall to fight, while the other ability users should guard the second layer of the city wall. If the second layer of defense is breached, then they can only flee.
Liang You quickly devised a countermeasure and issued instructions one by one. Seeing everyone preparing in an orderly manner, she was quite confident in dealing with the zombies.
They looked through the binoculars and saw a dense swarm of zombies, even more than the night they were surrounded. The zombies weren't slow, but their sheer number made their scalps tingle.
Sheng Hui stood next to Liang You; she could see into the distance without binoculars.
And behind those zombies, there was a black convertible.
There's someone behind the zombie.
After Sheng Hui's reminder, Liang You, holding up his binoculars, saw behind the horde of zombies. A black convertible was surrounded by zombies, who all automatically avoided the vehicle.
Sheng Hui also noticed a very special fluctuation emanating from the car. It was a very powerful force, and it was that force that was controlling the zombies around them. Even Da Hei and Si Si felt that force and became somewhat restless.
It wasn't fear, it was the feeling of wanting to fight to the death with the other person.
Sheng Hui placed her fingers on the city wall to soothe them, then used her consciousness to probe over it, only to realize that something was wrong.
She saw Li Lulu.
Her face was covered in blast marks, but she looked at Sheng Hui with excitement in her eyes.
But that power didn't belong to her; it came from the people around her.
Seemingly aware that Sheng Hui was watching her, the person next to Li Lulu raised their wine glass in Sheng Hui's direction.
Sheng Hui had met that person before. He was with Yan Ji at the time, and it seems he joined Yan Ji's team after she left.
He is the Zombie King.
Xiang Bei reminded her.
She felt that the system's function was too useless. It only revealed the identity when the character appeared. Now that everyone was surrounded, wasn't it a bit too late to talk about this?
The system sighed, "There's nothing I can do; that's just how it's set up."
"Then let's report it and get it fixed."
"The feedback has been sent out, and it might be fixed in the next world." The system smiled sheepishly.
It seems too late to upgrade now.
Xiang Bei was too lazy to continue talking to it.
With Sheng Hui's current abilities, dealing with a zombie king is not a problem.
She is no longer the same Sheng Hui who would feel dizzy and lightheaded if she overexerted herself even slightly.
[Go, Huihui! Defeat the Zombie King!]
Looking at the words floating by and the exploding fireworks, Sheng Hui pursed her lips; smiling was clearly inappropriate at this moment.
Besides, they haven't even fought yet, so she won't underestimate her opponent.
Li Lulu also raised her glass, but then poured it out.
"Damn it! Is she provoking us?" Liang You saw it through her binoculars and cursed a couple of times.
The zombies didn't attack Li Lulu and the others; instead, they headed towards the base. Their target was clear, and it was obvious that they were behind it.
Sheng Hui frowned. "Captain Liang, the person next to Li Lulu is the Zombie King."
The aura emanating from that person was incredibly powerful; the zombies were all under his control. Sheng Hui had already detected this as they approached.
The bad thing is that there are all sorts of mutated snakes and scorpions at the feet of those zombies, and mutated wasps are flying over from above, a dark mass.
The other party clearly had no intention of leaving them a way out.
"What should we do?" someone asked worriedly.
Some people even experienced zombie attacks in other bases, saying, "This one is on a larger scale than the previous ones."
Not only are there zombies, but also mutated insects, which are terrifying to look at.
Liang You said, "If you're scared, then step back."
As the leader of the base, she cannot back down; if she does, it will only make those behind her more afraid.
Looking at the medicine Professor Lin had given her, Liang You hardened her gaze and said to Sheng Hui, "You should go to the back too."
Sheng Hui laughed and said, "If the leader doesn't retreat, how can I retreat?"
Tao Min and the others also came over. "That's right, we agreed to advance and retreat together. Boss, are you trying to keep all the crystal cores for yourself? That won't do. With so many zombies, those crystal cores are enough to make me burst."
"Get out of here! Can't you speak properly? Saying such unlucky things at a time like this." Liang You glared at him.
It's one thing to be careless with your words in ordinary times, but you can't joke about life and death at a critical moment like this.
Lu Ting and her team also arrived. Her mother was still there, even in death, trying to hold off the zombies.
"Don't be so pessimistic, try this first." Liang You took out the reagent that Professor Lin had given her.
It's said to be effective against zombies, so I'll use these zombies to test the drug's abilities.
Liang You threw the item out, unleashing a wind blade to shatter the reagent bottle, then whipped up a gust of wind to scatter the reagent among the zombie horde.
Soon, the zombies underwent changes, but only minor ones, since there weren't many of the medicines available.
However, any change indicates that the medicine is effective.
“It seems to work. Go tell Professor Lin that her stuff is useful,” Liang You said immediately.
Those potions can slow down the movement of zombies; zombies with the potions on them move noticeably slower than other zombies around them.
Someone immediately went to find Professor Lin.
The zombies sprayed with the reagent suddenly changed, becoming even more frenzied. Sheng Hui realized that someone was controlling them, so she tried to take control of the zombies herself.
Qi Yuan's expression changed instantly.
The other side also has someone who can control zombies.
The zombies suddenly changed direction and surrounded their car.
Li Lulu's expression immediately changed. She had done this so many times before, and was already very skilled at using zombies to take over the base. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
"What's going on? Why are these things turning around? What are you doing?"
Qi Yuan sensed something was wrong. He tried to guide the zombies back to their original direction, but the zombie army continued to surround them. It seemed that the other side was still more powerful.
He simply stopped pretending. His originally almost transparent white skin turned into a zombie-like bluish-gray, and there was a faint smell of rotting flesh on his body.
His dark, lifeless eyes now seemed even more lifeless.
"Qi Yuan, what's wrong with you?" Li Lulu saw the change in Qi Yuan and already understood, but she still couldn't help but ask.
I had suspected it before, but seeing it in person still made my heart race.
When Yan Ji's body exploded, Qi Yuan shielded her, but she was the only one injured; Qi Yuan was completely unharmed.
She found it strange at the time, but she didn't want to think about it further.
The situation was now beyond her control; even if it meant living among zombies, she had to kill Sheng Hui.
Sheng Hui is the only change in this world; only when she dies can I unify the apocalypse.
What that good-for-nothing Yan Ji can't do, she'll do.
Having reverted to his zombie form, Qi Yuan unleashed his full power, unleashing tremendous energy that forced the zombies to obey him. He commanded them to continue advancing, razing the peaceful base to the ground.
The zombie king's immense power was noticed by all the superhumans in the base.
Sisi managed to hold back, but Dahei, stimulated by the Zombie King, returned to its original size, and even showed signs of continuing to grow larger. It no longer resembled a Groanda Shepherd Dog and couldn't help but bark, sounding somewhat like a wolf.
Some of the animals summoned by Qi Yuan immediately stopped in their tracks and couldn't help but prostrate themselves on the ground.
“I understand. The Zombie King can only control zombies. These mutated animals may have a Mutant Animal King, and our Big Black can control those mutated animals,” Zhang Jian said in surprise.
The others were surprised to find that Big Black had already evolved into the King of Animals. However, the power fluctuations on Big Black's body were quite significant. Besides, the claim that it was a level six mutated dog was just a lie. It was more than level six; it seemed to have reached a power stage that they were unaware of.
Fortunately, Big Black was on their side, and the mutated animals were commanded by Big Black to attack the zombies.
"Looks like my big black brother is still the best."
"If only we had a mutated plant king, we wouldn't have to worry about not being able to take down these zombies."
Sheng Hui touched her wrist; Sisi's current calmness seemed a little off.
Despite the large-scale raid, some zombies still managed to reach their outer wall.
The outer wall here has just been built and is not very sturdy yet.
After being slapped a few times by the zombies, a gap appeared.
The strongest wall they have built so far is the one they initially constructed. Because it is reinforced layer by layer, it would take a whole day for even superhumans to launch an attack.
The superhumans couldn't just stand by and watch the zombies break down the wall, so they used their powers to annihilate the zombies.
With Big Black's help, the advance of the zombie army was slowed down.
But as a buzzing sound came over, everyone's expression changed.
"Oh no, it's a mutated wasp."
Wasps' stingers are inherently venomous, and now these mutated wasps are flying overhead.
The superpowered individuals used their abilities to create a barrier in the sky.
Sheng Hui quickly left the first outer wall and went to the second outer wall.
She took out everything Xiang Bei had given her and handed it to the people waiting at the second wall, saying, "Throw it at the wasps, hurry up."
That was the deworming medicine that Xiang Bei had exchanged for for her.
This is no ordinary potion; it's more than capable of dealing with these mutated insects.
Fortunately, everyone had the strength now, so they threw the potion bottles into the sky with all their might. Some threw them, while others were responsible for breaking the bottles. The potion bottles exploded in the air, and all the mutated insects fell down.
"Get out of the way!" Ji Yu shouted.
She and Ye Shuangshuang brought over those mutated pheasants, especially the newly hatched ones, which grew quite a bit in just a few days. Whether they were domesticated chickens or these wild pheasants from the mountains, they all loved to eat insects.
The deworming medicine didn't affect the pheasants; in fact, they flapped their wings and flew up to eat the mutated insects.
"That's great, that's really great."
The group held hands, weeping with joy.
But it's too early to be happy. Zombies are coming from all directions. If the battle continues like this, everyone's strength will eventually be exhausted. The zombie king on the other side doesn't look tired at all.
Sheng Hui threw Sisi down and then scattered some mutated seeds down as well.
The originally delicate dodder suddenly became incredibly thick and strong, strangling many zombies that were trying to break through the outer wall and enter the base.
The decision to plant mutant plants on the periphery of the base was the right one.
We didn't have time to plant the outermost layer, otherwise we could have added another layer of protection.
Even the mutated seeds quickly took root and sprouted, blocking the zombies' path.
Sheng Hui and the Zombie King looked at each other from a distance, both seeing the killing intent in each other's eyes.
Taking out a dagger from her spatial storage, Sheng Hui jumped off the wall. Her movements were so fast that even Liang You and the others couldn't catch a glimpse of her.
"A magnificent painting!"
Sheng Hui ignored the shouts behind her and quickly weaved through the horde of zombies. She was so fast that the zombies had no chance to touch her.
These actions had been rehearsed in my mind countless times, so performing them went quite smoothly. The Zombie King had to die. If he didn't, he would summon even more zombies, and the superhumans in the base would eventually run out of stamina, and then they would be the ones to die.
Once the Zombie King is dead, Sheng Hui will be able to control the zombies to kill each other, and everyone will be safe.
Seeing Sheng Hui come down, Qi Yuan also jumped down.
He was also very fast, so fast that even his shadow could not be seen.
The moment He Shenghui faced off, neither of them exchanged any words and they immediately started fighting.
Sheng Hui's supernatural power shone brightly, overwhelming Qi Yuan and leaving him unable to retaliate, forcing him to constantly dodge.
They had only noticed that there was a powerful superhuman in the Peace Base, but they never expected Sheng Hui to be so powerful.
This was the first time Li Lulu had witnessed Sheng Hui's strength. She watched from the sidelines and noticed that Qi Yuan, who was being suppressed by Sheng Hui, took out a gun from his waist, aimed it at Sheng Hui, and pulled the trigger.
Sheng Hui didn't dodge. Just as the bullet was about to hit Sheng Hui, it suddenly changed direction and shot directly at Qi Yuan.
All that could be heard was Qi Yuan's angry roar. He reached out and grabbed the bullet, then crushed it to pieces with a squeeze.
The surrounding zombies also began to stir, but Sisi kept blocking them, preventing them from reaching the outer wall.
When Li Lulu fired again, the bullet bounced back, and Li Lulu dodged it with a few leaps.
When she raised her hand again, it was out of control, and she actually pointed the gun at her own temple.
Li Lulu looked terrified, yet also somewhat unwilling.
She has worked so hard for so long. As long as she takes over this last base, she can successfully unify the apocalypse. The glorious Yan Ji she saw in the premonition will be replaced by her, Li Lulu.
Even her superpowers are stronger than many other superpowered individuals, so why is this happening?
It must be Sheng Hui. How could she be so powerful? How could she control her own body?
Li Lulu's face was filled with terror, and tears streamed down her face.
She didn't want to die; she was unwilling to die like this!
Driven by intense resentment, Li Lulu fired a shot, hitting her own temple.
Qi Yuan roared and lunged at Li Lulu, catching her as she fell.
But Li Lulu had already stopped breathing. Her eyes were wide open before she died, as if she couldn't believe she was dying like that.
Qi Yuan unleashed all his power.
I'm going to kill you!
Sheng Hui was waiting for him to make a mistake, so she gathered all her strength and struck him with all her might in the chest.
But the zombie king did not fall as she had expected.
The Zombie King's weakness is actually different from that of other zombies.
While Sheng Hui was still in a daze, the zombie king pounced on her and grabbed her by the neck.
Sheng Hui, without changing his expression, took the dagger and slashed at the zombie king's arm, but failed to cut it.
At such close range, she saw it—she saw where the Zombie King's crystal core was located.
It's not the legendary white color at all.
It was a crystal core that looked like crystal.
Her dagger was taken by the zombie king.
"I'll use your knife to send you to your death!" Qi Yuan roared.
The zombie king's knife failed to strike. Instead, Sheng Hui took a pair of scissors and stabbed the zombie king in the head, then used her superpower to blow his head open and extract his crystal core.
Seeing the zombie king fall to the ground, Sheng Hui gripped the crystal core tightly.
The Zombie King's crystal core is transparent.
It also radiates a colorful light.
It was a very beautiful crystal core, more beautiful than any she had ever seen.
Without the zombie king's control, the zombies were disoriented and wandered around aimlessly. Sheng Hui made them kill each other, and then the superhumans rushed over, and together they dealt with the zombies.
As for those mutated insects, they were also eaten by the pheasants. They probably ate too many, and even vomited out a lot of crystal cores.
Sheng Hui withdrew the strands, letting the other mutated vines entangle the zombies and mutated animals, and used her fire-type ability to set them ablaze, burning them all to ashes.
After the fire, the ground was covered with crystal nuclei.
As everyone cheered for their victory, Liang You walked over.
"That was really scary."
Liang You was genuinely startled when Sheng Hui jumped. Although she knew Sheng Hui was exceptionally strong, she was still somewhat worried.
“It’s nothing,” Sheng Hui said with a smile, extending her hand.
She looked up at the sky, then at everyone, who were busy filling bags with the crystal cores scattered on the ground and carrying them into the base.
Tao Min called on a few people to help with the statistics.
Sheng Hui and Liang You exchanged a glance and immediately laughed. "Captain Liang, please keep this a secret for me."
"Everyone saw it."
"I don't care. As long as I don't say anything, there's nothing."
Liang You walked over with a smile and put her hand on Sheng Hui's shoulder. "Okay, but if you want to bribe me, you'll have to lend me Dahei next time I go out."
Zhang Jian called everyone out, and the crystal cores were piled on Dahei's back in sacks, saving them the trouble of carrying them to the base this time. Everyone's face was filled with joy.
The biggest problem has been solved. Although there are still some minor problems, they are no longer a big deal for everyone.
As the base took in more and more people, rules and order were re-established.
More and more people flocked to their base.
Liang You stood on the high wall, sunlight streaming down. Although everyone was busy, they all had smiles on their faces.
Professor Lin's research is ongoing.
"Professor Lin actually has a psychic ability? I really didn't know that," Liang You said with a smile.
"The professor's psychic abilities are all used to memorize her vast amount of data; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to get results so quickly," Sheng Hui said with a smile.
"And you? You're much stronger than me, and..."
Liang You pointed at the dodder-like bracelets on the wrists of Dahei and Sheng Hui, who were playing nearby, and said, "Your strength makes you more suitable to be the leader of the base than I am."
With a mutated animal king, a mutated plant king, and Sheng Hui's own strength, they could reign supreme in the apocalypse.
Sheng Hui waved her hand, "I'm not a leader at all. I just want to grow crops and flowers with my parents. But if anything happens at the base, Captain Liang, just let me know, and I'll definitely do my best to help."
I have to go now, and I won't be coming back. Take care!
Upon seeing the words appear in the sky, Sheng Hui's smile faltered, and her expression suddenly turned melancholy.
Then she smiled again and waved vigorously, "Goodbye, take care of yourself."
"Who are you talking to?"
Sheng Hui looked up at the sky and said, "It's a god sent by God to save us."
"immortal?"
"I would say he is a very special superhuman, Captain Liang, and that is my secret."
Liang You smiled and shook her head. "You really have a lot of secrets. Oh well, if you don't want to tell me, then don't. Anyway, we have the same goal."
The two men smiled knowingly, then went down to help everyone repair the damaged parts.
If they keep working hard, sooner or later they will be able to return to their former lives.
Everyone shares the same hope.
