Chapter 247 Moat
The three of them quickly arrived at the gate, and the soldiers stationed there hurried over to greet them as soon as they saw them, because Liu Yi had already informed them that Miss Yun would come to help.
"Ms. Yun, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to help us."
"There's nothing to thank me for. This tide of corpses concerns the life and death of all of us. What should we do? Let's get started."
When the man saw her decisiveness, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, you can go out right away. We will help you watch the child."
After hearing this, Ye Zixu was dissatisfied again. He said angrily, "Hey! I'm a fifth-level psychic! I'm here to do a mission too!"
"Ah, sorry!"
The soldiers around looked at the child who looked about ten years old in amazement. Suddenly, they remembered that when they first arrived at the base, this child was registered as a fourth-level psychic. However, because Yun Shuhuai and Xi Qing were too high-profile and dazzling, they all ignored him.
The outside has been baptized by artillery fire. Now there are fewer zombies, and some of the construction teams have gone out one after another.
Yun Shuhuai and the other two were just able to follow the second construction team out.
Outside the wall, construction is in full swing.
They are called a construction team, but in fact they are a group of earth-based esper. They use their powers to make the ground separate and sink, forming a river channel, and then water-based esper pours water into it. This is very efficient, much faster than using an excavator to dig one by one.
When the end of the world just came, the wall was also built in this way.
It's just that when they were working, many zombies came to harass them, and they had to guard against the zombies' sneak attacks while working.
As soon as Yun Shuhuai came out, she started to attack the zombies outside.
Hundreds of Hunter No. 3s wove into a net and flew all over the sky. Wherever they went, zombies immediately lay in large numbers. Yun Shuhuai also put the crystal cores she collected into a box. She couldn't store them in the space, so she absorbed the transparent crystal cores on the spot, leaving only a small number of supernatural crystal cores, which were also convenient to carry.
Although I knew that Yun Shuhuai was a sixth-level supernatural, I was still shocked to see her kill so many zombies at once. Not only did she kill them, but she also took back the crystal cores, and she didn't have to go down to pick them up. It was really convenient.
The moat was built at the edge of the buffer zone because they found that zombies would not take the initiative to go into the water when they encountered a river. The moat could more or less block the zombies' progress when facing a tide of zombies.
The moat would eventually be connected to a river not far from the base, so that water users would not have to manually add water.
Seeing the helpers coming, the construction team breathed a sigh of relief, so they could work with peace of mind.
This is a big project. The moat must be at least ten meters wide and five meters deep to effectively block the zombies. It will be deepened and widened later when there is time.
These earth-type esper had worked for more than an hour to complete a length of less than 50 meters, which was still far from connecting to the river. They were already exhausted and needed to rest.
Fortunately, their replacements came with powerful helpers.
Building a moat is not just about digging a hole, but also about ensuring that it will not collapse or get blocked easily. Therefore, the river channel must be reinforced, and the excess soil dug out must be dealt with, so it can only be thrown to both sides for compaction.
The second batch of construction teams to support have arrived, and with the protection of Yun Shuhuai and others, the progress has also been accelerated.
Yun Shuhuai followed the construction team the whole time. As long as she stood in the middle, no zombies could get within a hundred meters of them. Even if there were high-level zombies that could attack from a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, Yun Shuhuai could deal with them in time with flame energy blades and energy bombs.
But in this way, she alone could defend this construction team, and Xi Qing and Ye Zixu seemed a little idle.
They came out to find something to do, so the two of them rode motorcycles to other places to kill zombies.
Two seventh-level psychics with a fifth-level psychic can easily clear all the zombies.
Xi Qing brought Ye Zixu to a nearby place. When Ye Zixu came, he brought a piece of wisteria that he had picked from the door of his house and stuck it into the ground.
Driven by the wood power, the wisteria quickly grew and spread along the ground. Whenever a zombie stepped on it, its legs and feet would be entangled and fixed to the ground. Then it would climb onto the zombie and strangle it to death.
Since the wisteria vines are relatively hard, the zombies entangled by it would die in a very tragic way.
In order to dig out the crystal core of the zombie, the vines inserted into the zombie's seven orifices to dig out the crystal core, and it was easy to break the head. The red and white brain matter flowed down the vines, which looked very cruel.
But this ten-year-old child didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all. He seemed to be having fun sitting on the small chair bent out of the wisteria.
The people around were shocked. Is this what a ten-year-old child should look like?
But there was nothing they could do. In this world, we can no longer use normal standards. Children are forced to adapt to this world.
Due to the advent of the end of the world, not many children can survive. Although we have tried our best to ensure the survival rate of children in the early days, only a small number of them have been rescued. Most of them cannot adapt to the suddenly changed social environment.
Now it is difficult for an adult to support himself, let alone a child.
Although the base can only provide the most basic protection for children under the age of fourteen, without sufficient nutrition, they are short and thin, which makes people feel distressed.
It was obvious that Ye Zixu was well-fed. He didn't look malnourished at all, and his face still had some baby fat. He even had the strength of a fifth-level cultivator. He was not afraid of zombies at all and handled them with ease. Some adults couldn't compare to him.
He was probably the youngest fifth-level mutant in the base, and his future was limitless.
Why hadn't I noticed him before?
It was because his two sisters were too strong.
Yun Shuhuai was bored and moved a stool to sit aside. A group of shuttles flew around them to form a safe zone. She would only move if the construction site changed.
Xi Qing didn't dare to stay too far away from Ye Zixu. She didn't do anything, but was protecting Ye Zixu.
When zombies attacked them with their powers, Xi Qing would control the strong wind to blow them back.
The highest level zombies here were only level 4, and these dangerous high-level zombies had already been killed by Yun Shuhuai in advance. Even if there were new high-level zombies around them, Yun Shuhuai would quietly tell Xi Qing through the intercom so that she could deal with them in time.
Therefore, the remaining small zombies were not a big threat to Xi Qing, who was level 7, and they just happened to be convenient for Ye Zixu to practice.
Only when Ye Zixu wants to rest will she take over his job and continue to harvest.
