Professor Fu's appeal echoed repeatedly within the base. Everyone inside, regardless of age or gender, who was able to move, joined the construction of the defensive wall. Fortunately, the remaining two phases of the project were not completed before the relocation, and the remaining materials were sufficient for the construction of the defensive wall.
Personnel within the base rushed to the construction site of the defensive wall, working together in a coordinated effort, mobilizing urgently, and racing against time to carry out the construction. Some were carrying heavy objects, some were digging foundation pits, and some were cutting metal; a tense yet orderly atmosphere permeated the area around the base.
The defensive wall is a rough sketch that Professor Fu just built temporarily. There is no time to deal with the specific details, but the defensive wall and the main body of the base can be connected to a system. Therefore, the defensive wall is built entirely of metal without using a single brick. Professor Fu's later idea is that the current defensive wall can be retracted into the base, but time is tight and the task is heavy.
The later modifications can only be carried out later.
Metal defensive walls are much faster to build than brick walls. With Professor Fu's technical expertise, most of the metal blocks only require splicing and welding.
However, the construction project was not so easy to carry out. Just as everyone at the base was working hard on the construction, the second wave of zombies, hearing the commotion at the base, quietly crept over in the darkness.
The polar night environment obstructs human vision. In the recent battle, Xiao Lin and Xia He discovered that zombies have no vision and can only sense their surroundings through hearing and touch.
When the personnel patrolling in the air spotted the approaching zombies, they were already no more than 1,000 meters away from the people at the base. The patrol personnel immediately contacted the base headquarters via communicator.
"Calling headquarters! Calling headquarters! A zombie horde is approaching! They're 1000 meters from the outer wall of the defensive line!"
When the news was heard in the base control center, everyone inside the base was working feverishly on the construction of the defensive wall.
"Everyone, stop construction! Return to the base!" Professor Fu's voice immediately rang out over the loudspeaker, conveying a serious alarm.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and rushed back into the base, vigilantly watching the direction of the zombie horde. The base quickly entered a state of emergency, and everyone proceeded methodically according to the pre-arranged escape procedures.
"Haidong, prepare the defensive equipment, everyone get ready for battle!" Xiao Lin urgently notified the various combat teams in the base via communicator.
"Understood, boss!" Hai Dong's response sounded unusually calm.
The base's armed forces immediately assembled, and various defensive nodes were rapidly deployed in preparation for the impending zombie horde. Professor Fu nervously directed the entire emergency response process from the control room, while simultaneously monitoring the surrounding area.
In such a short time, neither Xiao Lin and Xia He nor the superhuman team could restore their energy reserves to their optimal state.
However, reality is cruel. Everyone involved in the battle is exhausted, but for the sake of the base's survival, everyone has shown their greatest fighting spirit.
The zombie horde surged like a black tide, its deep, chilling roars echoing through the night. Their forms appeared and disappeared in the darkness, inching closer to the base.
After the previous battle, the ground was littered with numerous zombie corpses. Now, the zombie horde trampled over the bodies of their comrades and surged toward the people in the base.
They moved with faltering steps, yet with extraordinary tenacity, unburdened by fatigue. Some zombies may have missing limbs, but they still struggled forward, emitting hoarse roars.
At the forefront of the zombie horde, some rather unusual zombies wore remnants of green military uniforms, suggesting they had once been members of an army. These uniformed zombies appeared even more ferocious, their movements orderly and compact, like a uniformly commanded army.
As the zombie horde drew ever closer, the night sky was thick with the stench of death. In the darkness, the zombies' figures intertwined, creating a horrifying scene. The occasional howls echoed through the darkness, like the gates of hell had been opened, and the cries of ghosts pouring forth.
The zombies' pupils held only deathly stillness; they had lost all human reason and emotion, leaving only a thirst for the living. In the darkness, the arrival of the zombie horde was like a deathly carnival, every step a trampling of life, every roar a lament for the world.
Before the base's defensive line, scorching gunfire and powerful supernatural abilities intertwined to create a sea of flames, a stark contrast to the ruthless horde of zombies lurking in the darkness. This scene resembled a battle on the brink of life and death, a confrontation between death and hope, pushing this darkness-shrouded base to the edge of survival.
Some superhumans, exhausted or depleted of their abilities, have fallen to the gaping maws of zombies. Their companions watch helplessly as their comrades are surrounded and disemboweled by the zombies, unable to do anything about it.
Some zombies were extremely fast, grabbing onto residents within the base who were slower on their feet and unable to run back in time.
Xiao Lin urgently called out, "All combat teams, assemble in the center of the base to protect the residents who haven't yet returned. We cannot afford to lose a single one!"
The combat teams quickly adjusted their formation, closely guarding the fleeing residents. The zombie horde rapidly approached in the darkness, and the base's defenses began to crumble.
The residents who had fled back to the base gathered together, their faces filled with anxiety, their eyes brimming with fear and endless worry. The vibrations and sounds of battle emanating from outside the walls made everyone's heart pound.
In the darkness, a tragic symphony of death and survival unfolded on the base's defensive line. The zombie horde approached, their figures like phantoms in the darkness, gradually engulfing everything around the base.
