While everyone was busy running around, only Lin Dan, Nie Ting and Xiao Junlin were still standing steadily, looking up at the bee colony with calm expressions.
"The fire cannot be extinguished." She grabbed Luo Yuheng, who had regained consciousness and was about to run into the watchtower.
Luo Yuheng looked at the jumping green flames and finally remembered what he had done. He originally came to take Dr. Xiao away and stop Lin Dan at the same time, but for some reason he ended up listening to Lin Dan's words. She asked him to clear the space, and he did it. She asked him to make a fire, and he did it. And these swarms of killer bees were the result of the spread of those strange smells.
If someone said that Lin Dan was not behind this, he would never believe it. He asked angrily, "Lin Dan, did you attract the swarm of bees here?"
"That's right." Lin Dan walked to the edge of the city wall and stared quietly at the swarm of bees that covered the sky. Everyone else ran away, but she was so calm and composed, as if she was not afraid of death at all.
Luo Yuheng showed an extremely painful expression and said in a hoarse voice: "Why did you do this? I have been with you for so long, and I always thought you were a man with conscience and principles. You are powerful and should fight to defend our homes and compatriots. Why do you help zombies destroy the world? Look, although the land is polluted, we have wood-type mutants; although the water source is polluted, we have water-type mutants. This world has despair, but also hope. Your idea is completely wrong!"
The killer bees fly very fast, and it is too late to run now. Luo Yuheng had no choice but to give up and walked to the city wall, looking at the green mountains and clear waters in the distance reluctantly. No matter how dilapidated the world becomes, in his heart, it is still beautiful, full of vitality and hope.
"You're right, hope will always exist." Lin Dan was not good at speaking, so he did not defend himself. She looked at the mountains in the distance with a gentle look.
Nie Ting stayed by Lin Dan's side all the time, blocking countless bullets and arrows for her, some from zombies and some from humans. They didn't understand what Lin Dan was doing, so they tried to kill her. Nie Ting had no idea why he did this. If Lin Dan died, he would be relieved. However, whenever he thought of such a prospect, he did not feel any pleasure. He followed her day and night. Wherever she went, he went. Whatever she did, he did too. They were like the existence of the real person and the shadow. If this person suddenly disappeared from his life, he would be at a loss.
So he did not take advantage of the chaos to escape, but stayed behind for unknown reasons, and used the last bit of his supernatural power to condense a thick steel plate to protect Lin Dan.
"Brother, brother, come here quickly!" Luo Yuyan's heart-wrenching cries came from the tower. She lay beside the closed window, looking with red eyes at the four people who were about to be swallowed by the zombies and bees climbing up the city wall. The city walls were filled with corpses of psychics and soldiers, but the four of them were the only ones standing there with their backs straight, as if they were saying something.
"Sister Lin, please let my brother come back, I beg you!" Luo Yuyan tried to hit the window hard, but was hugged tightly by her two teammates. They were trembling all over and seemed to be crying. More people crowded to the window and looked at Lin Dan with hatred. There is no doubt that she has become the public enemy of the entire base.
The seriously injured and bleeding Yang Huatong was carried into the tower by two soldiers. At this moment, he was leaning against the wall with a numb face. Through the stained window, he could vaguely see that the sky outside had long been blocked by the killer bees. There was no sunlight, no white clouds, only the scorching wind brought by the simultaneous flapping of countless wings.
"Being poisoned to death by killer bees is better than being torn apart by zombies." He chuckled twice with a resolute expression, while Lin Dan and Xiao Junlin, who were facing the swarm of bees, did not even frown.
Although Nie Ting and Luo Yuheng were determined to die, they were unable to suppress their inner fear and could not help but take two steps back. Lin Dan looked back at Nie Ting and asked in confusion, "Why don't you leave? Liu Ye has completely given up on you. You are no longer useful. If you want to leave, I won't stop you."
The veins on Nie Ting's forehead bulged slightly, and he felt both angry and happy. He was angry that Lin Dan used him, but he was also happy that she was merciful enough not to let him die. Is Lin Dan really as evil as Luo Yuheng said? No, even if she attracted killer bees, he felt that Luo Yuheng must be wrong. Lin Dan looks cold and hard, but her heart is softer than anyone else.
"I don't want to leave." While saying this, Nie Ting's eyes were always glued to Lin Dan.
Lin Dan nodded and didn't persuade her further. She was no longer planning to imprison Nie Ting. It was his freedom to leave or stay.
Xiao Junlin, who had been observing the bee colony carefully, suddenly turned around and looked at Nie Ting deeply. His eyes were sharp, yet with a hint of coldness.
During the conversation, the swarm of bees had already flown closer, and Lin Dan threw dozens of green porcelain bottles into the fire, setting them off one by one. The richer scent of grass and trees was carried up into the sky by the flames and diffused everywhere. Seeing her actions, the survivors hiding in the tower all had tears in their eyes. They wished they could shoot her to death, but they did not dare to break the glass and door panels to attract the killer bees in. Ordinary people in the city also received the news and closed their doors and windows, blocking every crack in the house.
Everyone knows that today's Base No. 1 will inevitably be destroyed.
However, they were wrong. They saw the black swarm of bees circling above the base and then changing direction to attack the zombies under the city wall. Lin Dan kept throwing porcelain bottles into the fire to increase the concentration of the grass and wood fragrance. The speed at which they flew away also increased. In the end, they dared not to violate the base's airspace at all.
Luo Yuheng looked up at the swarm of bees, and his expression of determination to die was replaced by surprise.
"Why did they fly away?" he asked in disbelief.
Lin Dan said nothing, but jumped onto the wall and observed the situation of the swarm of bees and the zombies. Xiao Junlin chuckled twice, as if he had heard an extremely stupid question.
"It's very simple, because these smells don't attract bee colonies, they disperse them." Nie Ting's voice was cold.
"Is that so? Then the purple smoke before..."
"That's what attracts the bees." Nie Ting has seen through everything.
"So that's how it is!" Luo Yuheng suddenly understood, and when he looked at Lin Dan again, his cheeks suddenly turned red. He quickly climbed up the wall and looked down, only to see that a black swarm of bees had flown into the zombie group, piercing the zombies' flesh with their sharp mouthparts, injecting a venom that dissolved their bones and blood, and then sucked them out.
The zombie horde that humans could not kill no matter what fell down in large numbers under the impact of the swarm. When the open space was exposed, Luo Yuheng discovered that the surface was crawling with all kinds of insects, including corpse-eating bugs, ants, centipedes, spiders, etc. They had all undergone varying degrees of mutation, and their attack and defense capabilities were beyond human imagination.
The zombie horde that destroyed countless bases has now become food for these tiny bugs. They spray venom to dissolve the zombies, then devour their bodies voraciously, disassembling the uneaten rotten flesh and bones and taking them back to the cave.
Their individuals are not as powerful as humans and zombies, but when they gather together, they have the power to destroy everything.
Luo Yuheng felt his scalp tingling as he watched the special battle taking place under the city wall. Nie Ting's face turned pale and his stomach acid surged.
The corners of Xiao Junlin's lips curled slightly, and his expression was surprisingly happy.
Four people stood side by side on the high city wall, looking down, and were not attacked at all. There were no zombies climbing up the city walls to kill humans, and no killer bees flew into the base to wreak havoc. The imagined hell scene never happened. Gradually, Yang Huatong also realized that something was wrong and said decisively: "I'll go out and take a look."
"Commander, you are seriously injured. Let's go out and take a look." Two scouts went up to stop him.
While several people were arguing, the anxious Luo Yuyan had already opened the iron gate and rushed out. Several other people with special abilities couldn't hold back their curiosity and followed him out. They quickly ran to the city wall, looked down, and then cried out in surprise.
I saw a constant stream of zombies fighting against a continuous stream of insects. The zombie army, which should have been invincible, was no match for these little bugs. Most of them had been split, dissolved, and swallowed up. They were so busy dealing with all kinds of insects that they had no time to climb the city walls.
Seeing that many insects were crushed to death, Lin Dan took out dozens of black porcelain bottles, threw them far away, and then detonated them. As the purple smoke spread, more insects emerged from the ground and flew from the sky to join this unprecedented battle.
After eating all the zombies, the black insects climbed up the city wall and tried to enter the base, but stopped when they reached the top. They lingered on the wall for a long time, causing the psychics watching on the side to break out in cold sweats, but after ten minutes, they couldn't stand the pungent smell and retreated one after another.
It was not until this time that these psychics realized that Lin Dan was not destroying the base, but saving it. The purple smoke can attract nearby insects, while the green liquid has the effect of repelling insects. She used these tiny creatures to completely reverse the outcome of the battle.
A stone from another mountain can be used to polish a jade. This idiom is interpreted perfectly by Lin Dan. And these fools not only fail to understand and support her, but also try to erase her existence! If she did die, what would happen to the base?
No one dared to think any further, and their gazes towards Lin Dan had already changed from suspicion and hostility to guilt and awe. It is no exaggeration to say that today's defense battle was won by Lin Dan alone. They were just lucky and happened to meet her, so they saved their lives!
Yang Huatong, supported by two soldiers, walked to the edge of the city wall and stared at the battle below, his eyes radiating a strange light.
"What are you still standing there for? Call out all the wood-type mutants and have them drop the seeds of mutant plants down to ripen them. Put down all the blood-sucking vines, devil vines, and golden vines." Lin Dan said slowly.
"Doing this will also cause a devastating blow to the base, right?" Yang Huatong hesitated. Wood-type mutants can ripen mutated plants and use them to fight, but they have no way to kill the plants after ripening them. The lethality of many mutated plants is often more terrifying than that of higher-level zombies. Just planting one plant can occupy a large area of land.
Therefore, wood-type mutants only fight in the wild. After they leave, the mutated plants they leave behind will take root in the soil and cause harm to the people. Wood-type mutants can only control life, but cannot decide death. Transcending life and death, that is another level of power. Moreover, the more powerful the mutant plants are, the more difficult it is to control, and backlash may often occur.
The several mutant plants mentioned by Lin Dan are all king-level existences. It is easy to ripen their seeds, but it is difficult to control their activities. Once planted, the entire base will be surrounded by these mutant plants and become a dead city.
"We don't have the seeds of these plants. They are too powerful and we can't even get close to them." A wood-type mutant said in shame.
"I have some here." Lin Dan took out a canvas bag and ordered, "Plant them. I can kill those mutated plants." Thanks to Luo Yuyan's affinity for plants, Lin Dan got a lot of precious seeds these days.
Her words were originally unbelievable, but these psychics did not hesitate at all. They immediately took the seeds and sowed them.
