The battle at the base gradually intensified. Fortunately, there weren't many enemies, and for the base, holding them off wasn't a big problem.
General Duomao and Fang Liang, who were hiding nearby, looked rather grim as they watched their soldiers dwindle.
General Duomao said in a deep voice, "Let's retreat first."
Fang Liang looked at him and asked, "General, aren't those soldiers going to retreat together?"
The hairy general glanced at him and said, "The ten thousand soldiers showed me the military capabilities of this Flower Kingdom's mainland. They died a worthy death."
As he spoke, he headed toward a fighter jet that was parked in the distance.
Fang Liang glanced at the soldiers who were still fighting desperately, sighed, and turned to follow General Duo Mao onto the fighter jet.
The drones and various aircraft that had been hovering in the sky fell one after another under the attack of the flying ability users. Among them was one that was guarding a door of the base for its master and also secretly contributed a little.
The fighting continued until the early hours of the morning before finally ending. The other bases didn't send as many people as the Fifth Base; those other bases only had a few thousand people going to explore.
With so few people, they naturally couldn't cause any trouble.
Following the instructions of their superiors, the logistics personnel used knives to dig out the core stones from these already dead people. At first, everyone wondered why they had to dig out the hearts of the already dead.
In the apocalypse, everyone knows that only zombies have core stones, and only mutated plants and animals have crystal cores.
When going on missions, there are always people who don't survive. Later, someone tried to use the bodies of deceased superhumans, and it turned out that humans don't have these things to cultivate, neither heads nor hearts.
Even Zhou Yan and the others changed their bodies, possessing the bodies of the superhuman soldiers who died in bases they randomly found on the battlefield.
Everyone saw that their teammate, who had clearly died before, touched his wound and stood up again.
Some newcomers might be surprised, but anyone who's been in the military for a long time is used to it.
Someone explained to the newcomers: "This is a team possessed by ghosts, a special kind of superpower. After each battle, they will randomly find a teammate to help clean up the battlefield. Team Leader Ye said that as long as they kill someone themselves, the resources will be given to them for cultivation."
Zhou Yan, who was currently possessing the body of a tall, dead man, heard someone explaining to them and chuckled, "Don't be afraid. We'll pick you up and drop you off when we possess you. After we clean up the battlefield, we'll go back to the crematorium to lie down. It'll be like collecting the bodies of our teammates."
Since the apocalypse, whether zombies or humans, once they die, they all go to the crematorium and become a pile of ashes. It's not that the base is cruel, but why not let people be buried in peace? This has always been a custom in the Flower Kingdom.
However, everyone's body may carry some kind of virus. If a large number of corpses are buried underground, what if some disaster occurs?
A few might not be a big deal, but what about hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands? That's why the base mandates that all these corpses be burned after any large-scale war.
Today's losses are manageable. According to the statistics, several hundred people were killed. It is impossible for war to be without death. A few hundred people annihilating an enemy force of ten thousand is already a great victory.
Chen Zui sat on the back of the little whale, or rather, lying down. He hugged the little whale's neck, lying there quietly and helplessly, with bloody tears streaming from the corners of his eyes—the consequence of every superhuman overuse.
However, it seems he overuses it every time. Chen Zui's temples are throbbing and his eyes are also hurting. He closes his eyes to rest, and the energy in his dantian is almost completely depleted.
The little whale used its own power to create an energy shield for him. "Let's go back and rest first."
Chen gave a weak "hmm" and then whispered, "I'm still too weak."
The little whale carried him slowly along the road. "You're very strong. If it weren't for your foresight, most of the people would have died today."
That's true. With Chen Zui around, casualties have been minimized, and many people have had ten seconds to prepare and think.
For Chen Zui, that almost required precise calculations and the ability to quickly report the location.
They also need to be given ten seconds. The ability users have a very strong grasp of time and know what kind of attack they will experience ten seconds in advance.
It's somewhat similar to the ability of a prophet, but here they rely on Chen Zui's foresight to escape one calamity after another.
Little Whale praised, "You're really amazing! Your boss will be so proud of you!"
Chen Zui smiled faintly, "Hmm, that makes sense."
He's already a teenager, and will be an adult in two or three years. As a high-level ability user and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he'll never lack cultivation resources, which is why he's so eager to become stronger.
After returning to his residence, he ate something first, and then went back to his room to cultivate and regulate his breathing.
Little Whale set up a barrier at his door, allowing him to cultivate in peace.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhou Yan and the others took the core stones they had been assigned and burned the corpses they had possessed before returning home.
She detached herself from the kitten and returned to her original body lying on the bed.
At only eighteen years old, she is now a high-level ghost spirit possessed ability user. When she first gained this ability, she was terrified and even thought she was dead.
If she hadn't automatically returned after 24 hours, she wouldn't have known what to do. Later, she learned that this was her special ability. In the early days of the apocalypse, she used this ability to take revenge on those who had stolen her food.
