Seeds of various mutated plants fell into the zombie group, were catalyzed by the wood-type mutants, and then instantly grew into lush plants, with their roots buried in the soil or the flesh of the zombies. The outer area of the city wall, which was originally littered with corpses, is now green and lush, showing a somewhat vibrant scene.
The higher mutant plants seemed to have developed self-awareness and were indeed difficult to control. As soon as they grew up, they began to spread everywhere in search of food. Due to the need to evolve and become stronger, in addition to light energy, rotten corpses are also one of their favorite nutrients. Therefore, taking root in a zombie group is like taking root in heaven for them. They quickly broke free from the orders of the wood-type mutants, used their thick vines to trap the smelly zombies, and quickly sucked them dry.
Their speed was no slower than the insect tide. In the blink of an eye, they wiped out a large number of zombies and then spread to further places. The city wall was too high, and they could not find food even if they extended it more than ten meters upwards. However, there was an inexhaustible supply of nutrients in the opposite direction, so their roots and vines no longer grew on the city wall.
Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Don’t be dazed. There are still endless streams of zombies coming from behind. There are still too few mutated plants. Use your special abilities to ripen them, make them bloom, bear fruit, and produce new plants. As long as the Zombie King is still here, there will be continuous new zombie legions replenishing us. We are still a long way from victory.” Lin Dan stood on the guardrail, looking at the endless tide of zombies.
No one knows where these zombies come from or who calls them. The Zombie King is not like a human commander who would wear a military uniform with epaulettes and stand in a particularly conspicuous place. He was hiding among these zombies, his festering skin and tattered clothes made him look no different from any other zombie. As long as he doesn't die, the battle will not end. However, his self-awareness and thoughts are completely different from those of humans. No one knows why he started this war, so no one can predict his next strategy. He will not retreat like the human army if he cannot win. What's more likely is that he will continue to summon nearby zombies to attack the city until the place is razed to the ground.
The zombie army has no so-called "battle damage" or "budget". Once they start a war, they will fight to the death, so humans must be prepared to fight them to the death.
"Don't be timid, just do as I say. After the battle, I have a way to clean up these mutated plants." Seeing that the wood-type mutant was still hesitant, Lin Dan urged him again.
"Okay, we believe you." After seeing Lin Dan's methods, the psychics in the base have developed an extraordinary trust in her. They immediately used their special powers to make the vines under the city wall quickly bloom, bear fruit, fall to the ground, take root, and sprout. The green ocean rolled over wave after wave, extending to a farther distance. Wherever it passed, it was like a sickle harvesting wheat ears, strangling the tide of zombies to death. However, they have a symbiotic relationship with insects. Instead of hindering the insects' feeding, they attract more insects.
The zombie army that originally wanted to destroy this base is now facing the danger of being destroyed.
The people hiding in the tower ran out one after another, watching the scene with serious expressions. They felt relieved, secretly happy, and also had an inexplicable fear. Zombies are scary, but compared to these overwhelming mutated insects and plants, they seem nothing. With powerful enemies surrounding us, does humanity still have a future?
Xiao Junlin curled his lips slightly and murmured word by word: "Did you see it? This is the true face of the end of the world. Zombies will eventually withdraw from the stage of history, and mankind will face more severe challenges."
Luo Yuheng felt his scalp tingling, and Nie Ting covered his chest, as if he was feeling very suffocated. Some people, however, did not realize that the real crisis for humanity had already arrived, and were now celebrating and cheering in low voices.
Lin Dan said slowly: "All things are interdependent and mutually exclusive. How can we know that mankind has no way out until the very end?" She seemed to have become accustomed to facing crises and death, so her mentality was very calm. She took out a large bag of seeds and called out, "Which wood-type psychic is free? Can you help me grow these plants? I need to make more insect attractants and repellents."
Both the insect swarms and mutated plants will be consumed by the zombie army. She cannot relax at all until the battle is truly over. Although it seems that she still has a lot in stock at the moment, who knows how long this battle will last? Maybe it will be one or two days, or maybe one or two months, but she must always be fully prepared.
Several wood-type ability users did not dare to ignore Lin Dan's request at all. They immediately followed her to the nearest field and began to promote the growth of various herbs. Lin Dan quickly sucked the grown plants dry, refined the medicinal liquid, and put it into a porcelain bottle. Other psychics freed up their hands to find containers of suitable sizes for her, or helped her harvest extra herbs, and then placed them next to her in different categories so that she could use them at any time.
They are racing against time. Once the insect tide and mutated plants are depleted and not enough to resist the zombie tide, they will release more seeds or insect attractants. During this period, other psychics were free, and only the wood-type psychics were the most tired. Of course, Lin Dan, the only one who could make potions, would be even more tired than them.
There were a few times when her supernatural powers were exhausted and she almost fainted, but she recovered in time. She didn't dare to expose the fact that her superpowers were only at the elementary level, so she didn't absorb the elementary crystal core in front of everyone. However, as her supernatural powers continued to overdraw, she discovered that she could actually restore her mental strength through meditation and naps, and after each overdraw, her mental strength limit would be broken a little, which made her extremely excited.
In the cruel end of the world, strength is the foundation for a person to survive. Lin Dan will not expose his weaknesses, nor will he let others notice his peculiarities. She accepted with a smile all the high-level water crystal cores that Yang Hua had sent over, and then began the next round of medicine refining amidst a splitting headache. When her mental strength reached a certain critical point and could no longer break through, she finally spat out a mouthful of blood. Now it was the eighteenth day of the zombie siege.
Nie Ting, who was covered in blood, was stunned for a long time before he hugged Lin Dan. His expression was uneventful, but his eyes were filled with panic. The hand on Lin Dan's shoulder was shaking slightly. "Lin Dan, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Don't mention making these potions. I'll take you back to rest!" His voice was hoarse, and he was about to take Lin Dan away.
Luo Yuheng was also very worried and hurried forward to check the situation.
The wood-type mutants who were busy giving birth to alien plants were greatly affected and stopped the output of wood elements. The other psychics also gathered around, looking anxious. Unknowingly, Lin Dan has become the mainstay of this base. As long as she sits cross-legged on the city wall and refines potions, everyone will feel at ease. If she is gone, the team will fall apart in an instant.
"I'm fine, put me down and I'll just sit against the city wall for a while." Lin Dan massaged Taiyangxue while speaking.
Nie Ting held her in his arms and refused to compromise.
Even though the other psychics were a little flustered, they couldn't bear to see Lin Dan tired, and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Xiao Junlin stood not far away, looking at Lin Dan who was surrounded by a group of people with unfathomable eyes. He took two steps forward, but when he smelled the foul smell coming from these people, he stepped back with a slightly cold expression. After fighting for more than ten days in a row, these people had no time to take a shower. They were all unkempt, even Lin Dan, who was always very clean.
He covered the tip of his nose with a pure white handkerchief and stepped back a little further. He found that Lin Dan was still vomiting blood, and his eyes were flickering more and more. After standing there for a while, he turned around, climbed up a watchtower, and began to search among the zombies. After a moment, his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
This is the eighteenth day of the zombie siege. When the battle just started, the people at Base No. 1 could never have imagined that they could hold out for so long and with so few casualties. Even though the zombie tide showed no signs of abating, they did not lose confidence and fall into panic. Because Lin Dan is still there, and she is always so calm, as if in the next second, mankind will be able to win the dawn of victory.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and said in a steady tone: "Help me throw these insect attractants out, throw them farther, and I will detonate them. The battle will end, we have to persevere."
Nie Ting said hoarsely, "You don't need to detonate it. I can use my supernatural power to break the bottle. Go back. The potion is enough. You should get a good sleep now. Don't waste any more time."
“You don’t understand. Only I can make the liquid in the bottle reach a temperature of over 100 degrees in an instant and evaporate into mist. The diffusion effect of mist is countless times stronger than that of liquid. Only I can do this job, so I can’t leave.” Lin Dan emphasized repeatedly.
Nie Ting didn't expect that the simple action of throwing a bottle actually concealed such a complicated operation, and he was silent for a moment. He gritted his teeth and nodded, "I'll help you throw them. After you're done, you have to go back and rest."
"Throw it away." Lin Dan forced himself to stand up with his weak body. Luo Yuheng and Luo Yuyan quickly supported her on the left and right.
Nie Ting threw the bottle out with force, and Lin Dan released his mental power to heat the liquid medicine inside. In just a moment, the bottle was cracked by the steam, and several clouds of purple smoke spread in the air. Such scenes happen every day, but today is different. As the smoke spread, Lin Dan also spat out a mouthful of blood, and he was already at the end of his strength.
Several psychics exclaimed and quickly ran over to check the situation. Looking at Lin Dan's pale face, chapped lips, and thin body, their eyes became sore and they almost shed tears. Now, who dares to doubt that Lin Dan is anti-human? She is more determined than anyone else to defend her homeland!
“Look, the zombie tide seems to have dispersed a little!” Someone shouted, but Lin Dan had already closed his eyes and could not hear anything...
