Chapter 248 Hit
Perhaps because the mission had been released, some supernatural beings appeared in the base one after another. They were also here to help.
Some participated in the construction, and some took on the protection mission.
With more people participating, the construction of the moat progressed quickly. By the morning, a length of six or seven hundred meters had been built. Suspension
bridges were built at intervals in front of the base gate. They would be raised normally and would only be lowered when people and vehicles passed.
The excavated river channel was filled with water, and the moat had begun to take shape. It was obvious that the zombies on the other side of the river were blocked when they approached the moat. They did not dare to cross the river easily, and could only roar at them from the other side of the river.
Everyone was very satisfied to see this scene. At least the morning's efforts were not in vain.
Before lunch, Xi Qing rode a motorcycle to the river and shot two mutant geese. She handed them over to the army and asked them to help stew them as a reward for everyone who had worked hard all morning.
After lunch, they rested for a while and then continued to work.
Time waits for no one, and they must hurry to complete this project.
However, in the afternoon, Xi Ling actually brought his own members over.
He did not bring the other three cadres, but brought earth-type and power-type psychics.
The members of Night Blade are now basically above level four. With their joining, the construction speed is faster.
Afterwards, Liang Yi brought people from Tianxiang over, and Jiehuo also came with a few people, but Qin Ye was taken away by Liu Yi and did not come.
Recently, the internal situation has been unstable, and because the leader went crazy in the mission hall not long ago and injured several people, none of them came out.
Now most of the forces in the base have also participated, and the construction speed has been greatly accelerated.
However, according to the helicopter reconnaissance report, the corpse tide will arrive in less than three days at most, and they need to complete this project within two days.
Although there are so many psychics to help, the time is still too tight. The length of the moat needs to be more than ten kilometers, and two days is far from enough.
In order to speed up the progress, the base sent out an excavator, which can provide some help.
But it is still too slow, which makes the responsible warriors anxious.
Yun Shuhuai stood by the river that had already been built, looked at the still water inside and thought for a while, then asked, "Can we ignore the mass if we speed up?"
"Yes, anything is fine as long as we can connect the river." said the person in charge.
Because there is no time now, it doesn't matter what it is.
"Okay then."
After saying that, Yun Shuhuai walked to the construction site, stretched out his arm blade and chopped down the unexcavated land.
The ground instantly separated, forming a deep gully, which was about the same width as the moat, but it was very irregular, but it was not a big problem, as long as the earth-type and power-type esper took a short rest.
"Good, very good!" exclaimed the person in charge, "Ms. Yun, thank you very much, let's do it this way."
With Yun Shuhuai's demonstration, other esper also showed their magical powers and attacked the ground.
Anyway, it is easy for so many high-level psychics to kill so many zombies, so they might as well participate in the work of digging the moat.
In order to increase efficiency, Yun Shuhuai stepped on the shuttle to rise into the air. With sufficient height, she could cut a longer distance with one knife.
Everyone was divided into two groups and worked simultaneously from both ends of the moat. The efficiency was much higher, and two days were enough to complete the task.

In the underground laboratory, Song Chixian was negotiating with the people sent by Qin Ye.
"Dr. Song, I still suggest that you change places."
"No need, just here." Song Chixian rubbed his sprained hand and said.
His injuries were not serious, and he would be fine after a few days of rest. It seemed that the intruder did not intend to kill him, or even kill anyone, and the damage in the laboratory was not great.
The man was shocked to hear Song Chixian say this: "But this place has been exposed, and the man may come back at any time."
Song Chixian curled his lips, his pale face showing madness, "That's really great."
He was very excited when he thought of the scene he saw that day. What exactly is such a magical power? He was eager to know, it would be great if the man came again.
Since he didn't intend to kill himself, wasn't it possible to communicate?
"What?"
Song Chixian did not answer, but said: "Anyway, I will not change places."
"But, the invaders may also expose everything here, and maybe they have already obtained evidence."
"So what, I am doing serious research, and the military is secretly supporting me. As a scientist, I have spared no effort to study zombies and mutated plants and animals, but it is for the future of mankind."
Song Chixian grinned at the person opposite him and said, "Even if it is exposed, I think you know what to do."
The man looked at Song Chixian and a drop of cold sweat fell from his head. Although this scientist was just an ordinary human being, he gave people a very uncomfortable feeling. His pale face always made people think of zombies.
"I... I see. Does Dr. Song need help? We can send
someone to stay here." "No, I'm used to being alone."
"Then please be safe."
"I see. Oh, why didn't Qin Ye come?"
Song Chixian was a little surprised. Such a big thing happened last night. He should have come to check it out, but he didn't come after a day.
Jiehuo looked a little unhappy. He thought about it and finally spoke, and briefly told Song Chixian the reason.
After hearing this, Song Chixian sneered and said sarcastically: "Oh, it turns out that he is tied up by a woman again. It seems that what he wants is not as good as a woman."
"No, the boss is just playing around. He wanted to come here anyway, but was stopped by the woman's former lover who went crazy, and both of them were taken away by the military."
"Humph, I hope he won't be tied up by a woman again in the future."
"Yes, yes, the boss will throw it away when he gets tired of it. If you are short of goods, we can also deliver them to you."
After the robbers left, Song Chixian simply tidied up the laboratory, put on gloves and picked up the scalpel.
The first-level zombie was still lying on the operating table. He had wasted a day, and he didn't know if the crystal core in its brain had grown out. He needed to see it with his own eyes.
But just as Song Chixian used the scalpel to cut the zombie's head, the zombie struggled madly, and the operating table shook a few times. The next second it broke apart. The zombie was freed and immediately rushed towards him.
The sudden change caught Song Chixian off guard.
Fortunately, it was winter now, and he was wearing thick clothes, so he would not be quickly broken by the zombie. As an adult man, he was also able to temporarily suppress this first-level zombie.
After a struggle between the man and the corpse for a while, he finally found a chance to insert the scalpel into the zombie's head, killing it completely.
But Song Chixian did not stop to rest immediately after dealing with the zombie. He quickly took off his gloves and found a small bloody wound on the side of his palm.
He was bitten by a zombie!
Song Chixian felt his breathing was very rapid, as if something was crawling up his arm. He gritted his teeth, quickly found a rubber tube in the mess and tightly tied his blood vessels, then walked to a cabinet, took out several syringes filled with liquids of different colors and randomly stabbed them into his arms, then untied the rubber tube and sat paralyzed on the ground.
The laboratory was extremely quiet. After an unknown amount of time, Song Chixian, who was sitting on the floor, suddenly raised his head.
Under the dim light, one could see a layer of white film covering the pupil of his left eye, and faint purple blood vessels appeared around his eye socket.
