Chapter 69
When the base was first established in City D, it experienced dozens of waves of zombies, large and small.
The largest zombie wave they had dealt with so far was on the order of 10 million. In this confrontation, they used large weapons and obtained thousands of crystal cores. This laid the foundation for the D City base to employ so many psychics, and was also the source of the base's ability to raise a fourth-level psychic.
However, weapons of mass destruction, the kind of bombs that can kill three to four million zombies in several districts with one bomb, are limited. There are only five such bombs in the D City base.
In order to build the base and deal with tens of millions of zombies, City D had used two of them. Now there are only three left, and they cannot be used easily.
The current zombie tide is on the scale of two million, which is not considered a top-level zombie tide, and the base does not want to use large weapons.
Especially, there should be a zombie king among these zombies, so the zombies do not swarm in from one direction, but come from all directions at the same time. This means that even if bombs are used, the directions to be bombed are scattered, and mass-destruction bombs are definitely not affordable, so only ordinary bombs can be used.
The people at the base were ready.
However, when the zombies came to an open attack range, the detection device showed that the superpower fluctuations on the zombie side were very violent.
Speaking of this, Fu Erdie sighed a little. While he was still busy with various infrastructure projects, City D had actually optimized the detector to the point where it could detect supernatural fluctuations from such a distance. The degree of improvement was not small at all.
The base judged at the time that there were at least twenty level three mutant zombies in the zombie group, and the zombie king was most likely level four.
This is not something that can be solved with ordinary weapons. Most of the weapons are consumed there, and they may not be able to aim at the location of the third and fourth level zombies.
It is no wonder that the psychics in the base are unwilling to go out to fight the zombies. They have noticed the abnormality a long time ago and have retreated to the base to protect themselves, waiting for the base to use weapons to fight.
The base suggested that the psychics go out and lure the psychic zombies out of the zombie pile so that the army could launch targeted attacks.
However, the psychics refused to move, even if the base offered them a high commission.
Fu Erdie twirled her fingers as she listened to her aunt Cao Rui's translation of the telegram.
It's not that he doesn't dare or is unwilling to move. He is clearly looking for every opportunity to use up all the bombs in the base as quickly as possible, and then take over this large base where the infrastructure work has been almost completed in the past year since the end of the world.
The reasons given by the psychics were very sufficient - there might be fourth-level zombies in the zombie group, so they needed the fourth-level psychics in the base to go out and explore the way before they could go out.
But when both of them are at level 4, whoever's boss shows up first will be in greater danger and more likely to be attacked. Don't these psychics even understand this?
They understand, and the base understands too. This is a deliberate conspiracy to make the base admit defeat.
No one at the base could hold back and had a big fight with the psychics before the zombie tide arrived.
The speed of the zombie tide's advance was not very fast. From the time we received the news of the zombie gathering in the early morning, to the time we determined the direction and number of the zombie tide during the day, to the time a huge conflict broke out within the base due to the problem of mutant zombies in the evening, to the time the D City base informed Fu Erdie of the matter via telegram at eight o'clock in the evening and requested cooperation and help, it took less than 24 hours in total.
At the rate the zombie tide is walking, they will reach the D City base in one day.
Fu Erdie thought about the zombies' speed, which was about 70 to 80 kilometers a day. That means the people sent out by the D City Base to work outside could detect the abnormality of the zombies at a distance of nearly 200 kilometers. This is much better than the situation in Senyu Community, where people had to stay within a few hundred meters to get to know the abnormal movement in the dandelion-covered area.
Fu Erdie couldn't help but envy the detection system of the base in City D.
Sang Wenhao looked at Fu Erdie: "Should we go over now?"
Fu Erdie looked at the time and shook her head: "It's too late. Let's go and see it early tomorrow morning."
City D is afraid of these zombies, but Fu Erdie thinks that every wave of zombies is an opportunity for her plants to upgrade.
However, two million zombies was still a huge number for Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao. After all, they only had a rhythm of more than 100,000 zombies a day before, and this was the result of pulling the zombies to the open space for processing.
Now we have to deal with more than two million...
Fu Erdie decided to use the old method and deal with the mutant zombies in the zombie group first.
Before, when she and Sang Wenhao dealt with zombies with special abilities, they would wait for these zombies to rush out and then kill them.
But the leader of this zombie wave is intelligent, and is able to somehow make the mutant zombies within a radius of hundreds of kilometers work for him.
This kind of zombie definitely won't come out as soon as you seduce it.
Therefore, Fu Erdie planned to bring Han Zhi with him and use his psychic abilities as a searchlight to accurately identify the zombies with special abilities and attack them with pinpoint accuracy.
Of course, this time, Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao are not only going to bring Han Zhi, but also the entire team of six psychics in the community, as their first real battle.
It is no longer the previous practice in the community, but real practice.
In the team, except for Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao, only Ye Jia, the short-haired woman with wind blade, is quasi-third level. The other psychics are only second level now. It's time to upgrade.
In terms of plant combat, Fu Erdie chose the zucchini that had been upgraded to level 2.
As the ace discovered by Fu Erdie and also a comrade-in-arms who has been clearing zombies with Fu Erdie for four months, it combines the strength of head-on combat, the extremely tough and entangleable nature of its roots, and the scent of flowers and fruits that can cause slow movements. No matter what the occasion, it has room to play.
In this way, it cooperates with the team of psychics. Although they are all at the second level, they can play the role of the third level.
In the evening, Fu Erdie confirmed the traveling personnel and handed over the security of the community base to five third-level plants: green ivy, spider plants, succulents, potatoes and gardenias. He mentioned some precautions and confirmed the subsequent strategies and tactics with the psychic team. Everyone had a clear idea in their minds, so they were ready to go with various emotions of excitement or nervousness.
The next day, the family got into the box truck and came to the roof of the electric car, and the group set off for City D.
The total distance from Senyu Community to the D City Base is 300 kilometers, and because of the mutual communication during this period, the road is in a state of continuous opening, so the group traveled very fast on the road.
After driving fifty or sixty kilometers, they found many traces of zombies moving.
Whether it was the messy footprints on the ground or the rotten flesh and blood of the zombies, all of them proved that the zombies were indeed gathered here, and even moved towards the D City base in a premeditated and purposeful manner from this highway.
When they arrived at a place one hundred kilometers away from the base in City D, Fu Erdie and his companions could already see groups of zombies at certain turns or in high terrain.
Han Zhi used his superpowers to quickly report the data after a quick scan: "There are about 300,000 zombies, three superpowered zombies are above level 2, and there are more than 90 level 1 and 2 zombies."
Fu Erdie raised her eyebrows slightly. This ratio seemed to be much higher than that of normal superpowered zombies.
"Share the location of the third-order and above zombies with special abilities with me and Sang Wenhao." Fu Erdie said, "Leave those three to us. Just share the information once so that we can locate them. The remaining ninety or so first- and second-order zombies are left to you."
Han Zhi: “…”
The rest of the people: “……!”
Four level two monsters, plus a zucchini, versus more than ninety mutant zombies? !
Fu Erdie smiled and said, "Sangsang and I will help you. Come on."
As she spoke, she had already found the locations of the three third-level zombies in the shared field of vision, and signaled to Han Zhi that it was time to cancel.
Sang Wenhao stepped on metal sheets and flew through hundreds of thousands of zombies, instantly killing the nearest third-level zombie. At the same time, he took out the sniper rifle on his back and killed two other third-level zombies while moving at a high speed.
Everyone who just got Han Zhi's vision and saw this scene: "......!!!"
So, it's that simple! Sang Wenhao took out a third-order crystal core, which happened to be of the metal system, and digested it immediately.
Fu Erdie used the new "superpower" she developed - stepping on the flying catkins controlled by the third-level dandelion, walking slowly in the air, making a posture of lotus blooming with every step, and came to the dead third-level superpower user, casually placed a seed of intelligent mutation, waiting for it to slowly corrode the zombie, and left the crystal core to her.
The zombies around her rushed towards her, but before she could fight, they were dealt with by Dandelion.
Fu Erdie tossed the third-order crystal core like a ball: "Actually, I just wanted to stretch my muscles."
Dandelion ignored her and dutifully eliminated the zombies that were still coming over from the Bee Pupa.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
On the other side, Sang Wenhao got two third-level crystal cores and returned to Fu Erdie, feeling somewhat helpless: "Stop playing around. If you encounter a fourth-level zombie, you will have to take action."
The two men walked back with the dandelions. The intelligent mutated plants that had just grown out of the zombies' bodies were afraid of being left behind, so they corroded the zombies at the fastest speed. Their leaves and roots used their hands and feet to rush to the area where the Fuldie box truck was.
At this time, the team of superpowers was cooperating in actual combat for the first time after practicing in the community for so many months.
Han Zhi shared the vision, and Ye Jia controlled the wind blade as he had practiced before, trying his best to hit the zombies with special powers that were within the range limit of his special powers.
Unlike when he first joined Senyu Community, Ye Jia's control of the wind blade has improved significantly. At the second level, he can already hit the mutant zombies one kilometer away. Although he cannot carry out large-scale attacks in order to maintain distance, this is already a very good improvement in long-range attacks.
She can be responsible for the mutant zombies within a one-kilometer radius, but there are more than ninety mutant zombies, and more than thirty of them are within this range.
Ye Jia caused damage and tied down seven of the mutant zombies. The remaining twenty or so rushed towards where they were.
When the rushing zombies shortened the distance between them and Ye Jia and the others to within a hundred meters, they were within the "medium-range" attack range of Zucchini and Cen Xiyang.
The second-level zucchini, whether it is the fruit or the roots, stems and leaves, can extend to about one hundred meters.
The fruits and branches rose from the air to attack the zombies with special powers in the zombie group. The roots quickly passed through the soil and spread to a radius of 100 meters around, forming an invisible circle underground, ready to attack at any time.
Cen Xiyang's space compression ability can accurately coordinate with zucchini to attack through zucchini's body and the vision shared by Han Zhi. The moment zucchini hits the enemy, the ability is pushed into the opponent's brain, creating a vacuum.
Immediately afterwards, the zombie's brain suddenly sank in as if it had been hit flat, and it instantly lost the ability to move and died.
This kind of attack is good in every way, but it will always crush the crystal core in the zombie's brain. If you want to take it out, you must carefully wrap the crystal core fragments and brain matter with a blackout cloth, so that you can store the crystal core and distribute it later.
Fu Erdie watched from the side and felt a little sympathetic towards Han Zhi who was going to do this later.
Since Cen Xiyang and Zucchini were two second-level players working together, they achieved the effect of 1 + 1 being greater than 2 and successfully intercepted and killed more than seven or eight zombies.
Finally, there were five zombies who came within ten meters, very close to the psychic team.
Due to Han Zhi's vision sharing attribute, everyone except He Xuan's vision is directed to a farther position, and they can hardly see the nearby situation, so the nearby defense is handed over to the mascot who is not connected to the vision sharing - Miss He Xuan who has the good luck buff.
In fact, if the onlookers did not know the truth, they would not think that He Xuan played any role. They would only sigh in shock: "How can Zucchini be so lucky! It is obvious that it raised its fruit and branches high up, bypassed so many ordinary zombies to fight the special zombies in the zombie group, but for some reason, it just turned around, or just used its strength to knock away the ordinary or extraordinary zombies around it?!"
There were many zombies rushing around the body of the zucchini, as well as a few zombies with special powers that broke through the defense line and came nearby.
But these zombies, without exception, were "accidentally" knocked away by zucchini.
Those mutant zombies that were hit but not knocked away would be affected by the smell of zucchini flowers and move slowly, making it much easier for He Xuan to rush up and finish off the enemy.
So, with the help of He Xuan's luck, the five zombies with special abilities were often hit by Zucchini, who was not paying any attention to this side, and then they were often killed by He Xuan, and fell down or were pulled away one after another.
One of the zombies finally approached the zucchini and was about to tear the zucchini and the bodies of the people around it apart. Then, a dandelion slowly floated down and turned the zombie into a bursting dandelion catkin.
He Xuan looked at Fu Erdie with gratitude and apology, only to see Fu Erdie nodding encouragingly at her and giving her a thumbs up.
This good luck buff is truly amazing.
More than ninety second-level zombies were still too many for them.
After dealing with more than sixty of them, everyone was exhausted.
Especially Han Zhi, who was maintaining the wide-range vision shared by the three people, became dazzled and almost fell to the ground.
Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao did not force them and asked everyone to go back to the box truck to rest. They killed the remaining mutant zombies in seconds and took the mutant zombies to a nearby place. Together with everyone else, they dug out the crystal cores and stored them.
Fu Erdie used her special powers on Zucchini and Cen Xiyang to help them quickly recover their strength and energy.
As for Han Zhi, He Xuan, and Ye Jia, Fu Erdie can only push the superpowers into their bodies without hurting them, allowing them to recover half of their superpowers. It is not feasible for them to participate in subsequent battles in full condition again.
Fu Erdie then said, "He Xuan and Ye Jia, you drive the car with the crystal core and lead these 300,000 ordinary zombies back to Senyu Community, and let the plants deal with these zombies. Xiyang, Han Zhi, let's continue on our way."
Han Zhi's next job is to enable vision sharing when necessary, allowing Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao to lock on to the target. This does not consume much special energy and he can do it with ease.
After resting for ten minutes, several people drove the box truck and continued to rush to the base in City D.
The base was still in a state of anxiety at this time.
The person in charge of the base has sent many fighter jets out to bomb the zombie groups. Basically, except for the zombie group in the direction of Fu Erdie that they were agreed to deal with, the other six zombie groups all showed signs of fighting with hot weapons.
But the fact was just as they predicted. Ordinary zombies were easy to fight, but they couldn't tell whether they had hit the mutant zombies after fighting for a long time. Then, unexpectedly, some mutant zombies that could fly or attack at a long distance rose from the ground and hit the wings and fuselage of the fighter plane, causing the fighter plane to lose balance and fall. The pilot who had trained for a lifetime lost his life.
The comrades in the base who were watching these scenes from afar through binoculars were almost biting their teeth. For a moment, they hated the psychics who were watching the fun without realizing it more than the zombies.
