Chapter 196 The Original Female Lead Who Was Used as Cannon Fodder 46
Lin Wuque deftly extracted the Zombie King's crystal core and continued hunting down the remaining high-level zombies.
Wherever the gray flames went, the zombies were all turned to ashes.
Witnessing all this, the warriors' morale soared even higher, and they joined forces with the two level-nine powerhouses to launch the final cleanup.
After clearing away the zombies of level seven and above on the battlefield, Lin Wuque stopped and returned to the city wall in a few leaps.
He knelt on one knee, his blood-stained hand cradling the scarlet crystal core, his eyes smiling.
"Master, are you satisfied with this result?"
Ruan Yunzhen took the crystal core and gently tapped his forehead with her fingertip: "Well done."
The simple four words instantly ignited an astonishing light in Lin Wuque's eyes.
Ruan Yunzhen looked at Zhao Chenxiao and said, "The rest is up to you. Clean up all the zombies."
Without the high-level zombies, the horde is no longer a threat; what remains are nothing but mindless zombies.
She didn't intend to linger here any longer.
Zhao Chenxiao readily agreed: "Okay, you can leave it to me."
Ruan Yunzhen glanced once more at the devastated battlefield, then stepped off the city wall.
Lin Wuque followed closely behind.
Ruan Yunzhen paused, "You stay here."
Lin Wuque looked puzzled. "They're enough. I don't need to lift a finger to deal with these bastards."
There were several level-eight ability users present.
Ruan Yunzhen said succinctly: "You stay behind to hold the line. If anyone is injured, treat them with white bark immediately."
Although the spring water has the same effect, the cost-effectiveness of white barley is significantly higher.
Ruan Yunzhen still felt a pang of regret after taking out so much spiritual spring water.
Now that the biggest crisis has been resolved, Lin Wuque is free to save as much money as he can.
She felt no guilt or unease whatsoever about using Lin Wuque as a puppet.
“Master…” Lin Wuque pouted aggrievedly, but a hint of killing intent rose in his eyes.
What do he care about these people's lives or deaths?
"obedient."
With just two simple words, Lin Wuque immediately quieted down.
Lin Wuque's gaze followed Ruan Yunzhen's retreating figure with lingering affection until she disappeared around the corner, at which point he reluctantly turned his gaze away.
The smile on his face vanished instantly, and the surging infatuation in his eyes turned into violence as he turned and charged back into the horde of corpses.
The sooner he cleans up all this trash, the sooner he can go back to be with his owner.
Ruan Yunzhen had anticipated Lin Wuque's actions, which is why she handed over command to Zhao Chenxiao.
Compared to the reckless and willful Lin Wuque, Zhao Chenxiao is much more responsible.
The massacre lasted for three days and three nights.
When the last zombie was beheaded, the world seemed to fall into an eerie silence for a moment, followed by deafening cheers.
Many people dropped their weapons, embraced each other and wept, cheering in victory.
"Great, all the zombies have been killed."
"We won, we really won."
"We survived...we all survived..."
"……"
The mountains of zombie corpses reeked of a nauseating stench, yet they cheered and jumped for joy.
The putrid corpses piled up like mountains, and black blood flowed into viscous streams on the scorched earth. The nauseating stench permeated the air, yet it did nothing to diminish the people's ecstatic joy.
After the initial joy, an overwhelming sense of exhaustion washed over them. The superhumans retreated from the battlefield, while the ordinary people left the base and began cleaning up the battlefield.
They dissected the crystal core, burned the corpse, and dug away the soil soaked in blood...
Other bases were also watching the battlefield closely. It was unbelievable that the Savior Base had actually withstood the siege of hundreds of millions of zombies, and even reversed the tide, annihilating the vast majority of the zombies. Only a few scattered zombies on the edge of the battlefield escaped.
However, considering that there were two level-nine ability users at the Savior Base, it seemed only natural, and at the same time, he became even more eager for the spiritual spring water.
Clearly, they attributed most of Ruan Yunzhen's and Ruan Yunzhen's strength to the spirit spring water.
Because they discovered that many of the level 7 ability users previously sent to the Savior's base had broken through to level 8.
However, due to their combined strength, no one dared to say anything. Instead, the leaders of each base all rushed to the Savior Base.
Upon seeing Ruan Yunzhen, everyone was momentarily stunned.
Through the overwhelming video propaganda at the base and the battlefield footage of the past few days, they already knew of her beauty, but the shock of seeing her in person still far exceeded their expectations.
Only then did I realize that the images on the screen only captured a fraction of her charm.
Like a few glimmers of light plucked from a vast galaxy, though dazzling, they are far less breathtaking than the sight of her standing right before you.
Fortunately, everyone present had been through a lot and had previous footage to back them up, so they quickly recovered.
Wang Huai'an cleared his throat and spoke first: "Commander Ruan is truly a young prodigy. He single-handedly wiped out hundreds of millions of zombies here."
The others also began to flatter him:
"Yes, the younger generation is truly formidable."
"The future of humanity still depends on young people."
Wang Huai'an coughed lightly, a forced smile spreading across his aged face: "Commander Ruan is truly a genius, single-handedly quelling a horde of billions of zombies. Such an achievement is worthy of being recorded in history."
The other representatives echoed this sentiment:
"Heroes have always emerged from among the young, and Commander Ruan is truly the foremost figure of our time."
"The survival of human civilization ultimately depends on such talented young people."
"On behalf of the three million survivors of the Southwest Base, I extend my highest respect to you."
Hearing these compliments, Ruan Yunzhen didn't even raise an eyebrow. Only after the last compliment had faded into the air did she casually speak:
"Since you all hold it in such high regard..." A half-smile played on her lips, "then, in order to better coordinate resources and respond to crises, from today onwards, we will establish a joint command system, with the Savior Base coordinating the defense deployments across all regions."
The meeting room erupted in an uproar.
Before any objections could arise, she continued, "In addition, I hope to move the research team and experimental equipment for the original solution to the Saviour Base."
Wang Huai'an's expression changed drastically: "This is a bit too much—"
"That makes perfect sense." Ruan Yunzhen interrupted him. "The Savior Base's contributions to the survival of humanity are evident to all, and it truly deserves its name. So why shouldn't the Savior Base take on some more responsibilities for the future of humanity?"
Or perhaps...
She slightly raised her eyes, and an invisible spiritual pressure instantly enveloped the entire area.
"Are you all confident that you can end this apocalypse on your own?"
Sitting next to Ruan Yunzhen, Lin Wuque silently grinned, revealing a sinister smile.
The air in the conference room seemed to stand still, and everyone felt a chill on the back of their necks, as if a blade licked by a venomous snake's tongue was pressed against their throats.
After a long silence, everyone finally withstood the pressure.
"We need to consider this carefully at this point..."
These two people appeared too suddenly and were too young; they didn't know them at all.
