A powerful fireball erupted from the zombie horde outside the defensive wall. The fireball instantly turned into a raging inferno on the outer wall. The moment the gasoline ignited, the flames illuminated the entire night sky, and the intense heat instantly assaulted the senses.
The zombies on the defensive wall were engulfed by the sea of fire. For a moment, flames danced, and the screams of the zombies and the sounds of explosions intertwined into a chaotic symphony. Xia He and Xiao Lin hovered in the air, looking down at this fierce battle.
Xia He watched as the zombies in the sea of fire burned and smoke billowed from their seven orifices. She knew that this method was only temporary, but it could buy precious time for the base.
Only then did everyone understand why Xia He had asked them to retreat from the defensive wall. Although the metal outer shell of the defensive wall would not collapse when heated, the temperature was indeed very high. Although everyone was now 10 meters away from the defensive wall, the scorching heat was still enough to burn their skin.
As the flames died down, Xia He and Xiao Lin landed back on the ground. Outside the defensive wall, zombie corpses lay scattered everywhere, the acrid smell of burning flesh lingering in the firelight, and smoke filled the air.
Xia He and Xiao Lin returned to the base. They could no longer climb up the defensive wall, so they simply instructed people to guard the base and monitor the surrounding area.
The group sat around the meeting room. "Base commander, the zombies seem to have evolved. There weren't any zombies that could climb walls before, but now they have."
“That’s right, base commander, we can’t just sit here and wait to die.”
Xia He frowned and pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath and said to everyone, "We must take measures. The evolution of zombies means that their threat level has increased. We need more effective means to fight them, and at the same time, we need to find safer survival solutions."
Xiao Lin added, "First, we need to continue strengthening the base's defenses to ensure we have enough time to deal with the zombies' evolution. Second, we need to send teams to explore the outside world, find resources, understand the zombies' movements, and search for traces of other survivors."
Xia He nodded in agreement: "Yes, we need to know more information to better formulate a response strategy. In addition, we must closely monitor the evolutionary trends of zombies and find their weaknesses. However, most importantly, we must remain united and work together to deal with this predicament."
Inside the meeting room, everyone listened attentively to Xia He and Xiao Lin's opinions and discussed the next steps. The atmosphere in the base was tense and heavy, but everyone was filled with a desire for the future and a determination to survive.
Inside the meeting room, everyone listened attentively to Xia He and Xiao Lin's opinions, discussing the next steps. The atmosphere in the base was tense and heavy, but everyone was filled with a longing for the future and a determination to survive. This new world was full of unknowns and dangers, and they had to work together to face this harsh reality.
Under the base's long-term protection, Xia He and the others have gradually begun to adapt to this new world full of uncertainties, but the challenges ahead have only just begun.
After the meeting, Xia He took the two little ones home. When she opened the door, she felt a little unaccustomed to the absence of Xiao Hua's chattering voice, but Xia He knew that the current situation did not allow her to be too depressed.
She entered her own space and sensed the faint spiritual awareness, realizing that although Xiao Hua had entered a dormant state, she had not left her. This connection was a strong bond between them, filling Xia He's heart with determination.
In the polar night, darkness reigned everywhere, with only faint lights illuminating the base, bringing a semblance of tranquility. However, everyone knew in their hearts that this peace was only temporary, and a severe test still lay ahead.
Xia He lay on the bed, gazing quietly at the ceiling of the room. The indoor temperature was comfortable; thanks to ample energy, the heating was on full blast, and aside from water, the base had no shortage of supplies.
The two little ones sensed Xia He's emotions and quietly walked to her side, gently rubbing their mouths against her hand. The two little ones probably weren't used to Xiao Hua's chattering without her. Although Xiao Hua was their mother's pet, after spending so much time together, Xia He had long considered Xiao Hua family, just like the two little ones, both being her pillars of support in this apocalyptic world.
The next day, the base's restoration work began. The removal of corpses and the repair of defensive walls proceeded smoothly. Xia He was among those working. As time passed, the base gradually stabilized, and the zombie horde was temporarily brought under control.
Xia He continuously improved her spiritual power during training, while working closely with everyone at the base. Now, Xia He and Xiao Lin alone cannot resist the large-scale zombie horde. The abilities of the superhuman team need to be improved, so Xia He took on the role of training officer, constantly honing the abilities of the superhumans in the training ground every day.
Xiao Lin led his men to continuously survey the area around the oil field from the air. Xiao Lin still couldn't find the reason why his mental exploration failed, so he could only explore the surrounding environment little by little.
After several days of exploration, Xiao Linsheng captured a zombie and gave it to Professor Fu for research, while he, along with Hai Dong, Ling Feng, and the others, thoroughly investigated the surrounding area.
The zombies seem to be confined to the area surrounded by the oil field; they only operate within specific regions. This is why the zombie virus has not spread worldwide. Xiao Lin set up a safe house outside the oil field, which also serves as a base station for sheltering survivors. At the same time, the location of the safe house is constantly broadcast over the loudspeaker, hoping to recruit more survivors and people with superpowers to come here.
In a post-apocalyptic world, it's not enough to go it alone; humanity must unite to overcome natural disasters.
