In this black area, the speed of the falling raindrops suddenly slowed down, and the zombies' forward movement slowed down. The zombies that were about to get close to them suddenly seemed to move in slow motion.
At the same time, the black substances seemed to be corrosive, corroding the zombies' skin.
With a few whooshes, several golden lights slashed through the darkness, and in just over ten seconds, dozens of zombies were knocked to the ground. Mei Baisheng felt relieved of the pressure, and he withdrew his supernatural powers and gasped for breath.
A clear, crisp female voice echoed in my ears: "Corrosion should be targeted at vital parts. They are zombies. Even if you corrode a layer of their flesh, they can still run and jump."
Mei Baisheng wiped the rain off his face and nodded.
"However, it's already impressive to be able to gain precious time at a critical moment," Lin Tantan added.
Mei Bosheng smiled and said, "That's true."
Then he picked up a machine gun and started killing people everywhere.
Before they knew it, the convoy left outside was getting shorter and shorter, and the last large group began to enter the base gate.
A group of zombies followed behind the convoy. There were huge numbers of them and they came with great momentum. At first glance, they looked like white waves at high tide. No one knew where they came from.
"Roar!" A zombie suddenly roared, and like a spring monster, it jumped several meters and climbed onto the roof of the last car. The people in the car screamed wildly. The zombie waved his hand, and the invisible force cut two long gaps on the roof. Lin Tantan happened to see this scene, and his pupils shrank. It was a wind-type zombie!
Just as she was about to do something, a strong wind blew, and the rain was blown almost parallel to the ground. The zombie that was about to stick its head into the car was knocked down, splashing a large pool of mud.
A black figure came quickly and blew the wind-type zombie that was about to get up again directly into the group of zombies behind.
It’s Ye Xiao!
Immediately afterwards, the familiar whirlwind appeared again. Four whirlwinds rose out of thin air, and amidst the splashing raindrops, they swept up the zombies. Then the four whirlwinds merged into a huge whirlwind. Countless zombies were forcibly moved several meters horizontally like rags in a washing machine, and then thrown into the zombies behind, crushing them.
Ye Xiao turned around and said, "Let's go!"
The car was about to drive as fast as it could when suddenly the water on the ground froze into ice and the tires of the last few cars were quickly frozen.
Ye Xiao's eyes fixed. The soles of his shoes also froze, and frost and ice quickly climbed up his legs. He immediately jumped onto the roof of the car and looked fiercely at the zombies along the icy path. Which one was it? At the same time, he shouted, "Fire element! Who is the fire element!"
Lin Tantan suddenly jumped off the armored vehicle and stomped his foot on the ground. Countless hard and sharp spikes quickly emerged from the ground, piercing the ice in an instant.
The ice formed by supernatural power is different from real ice. Once the supernatural power is broken, the hard ice layer immediately turns into turbid muddy water and flows away. The car that was desperately accelerating started again with a bang. Ye Xiao couldn't stand firmly on the car due to inertia, but he quickly adjusted his posture and landed neatly and handsomely with the help of the wind.
He looked at Lin Tantan in surprise, but Lin Tantan could not receive her gaze through the thick rain curtain. She pressed one hand into the mud and water, and a stream of energy quickly spread underground. The soil under the feet of the zombies in the distance suddenly became softer and muddier, causing them to sink more than ten centimeters, imprisoning them like a swamp.
After doing this, Lin Tantan felt a little stuffy and nauseous in his chest, and his head was dizzy. This was a common feeling after his supernatural powers were drained. When he stood up, he staggered and sat down in the mud.
The sound of heavy footsteps on the water approached, and a large hand touched her forehead, brushing aside her wet hair: "Are you okay?"
"Ah?" Lin Tantan looked at Ye Xiao in confusion. Wasn't he quite far away? How come he came here all of a sudden?
"Come." Ye Xiao put her arms around his neck and lifted her up with force.
"Wow, no, no need!"
But she had already been picked up, and Ye Xiao's voice summed up her. He shouted: "Retreat! Retreat to the base!"
The artillery vehicle and its crew immediately headed for the base's main gate, right at the tail of the 10th Battalion. The armored vehicles brought up the rear, and Mei Bosheng and Bai Cheng inside continued firing. Seeing the zombies closing in, Mei Bosheng unleashed a final burst of fire, a hemispherical field of dense darkness expanding once again. All the zombies in the semi-arc ahead froze in their tracks.
The armored vehicle drove into the base gate smoothly, and Ye Xiao followed with Lin Tan in his arms. As soon as they came in, the door slammed shut, and the zombies could only pounce on the door and bang and scratch it wildly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the door closed, as if they had survived a disaster. Ye Xiao put Lin Tantan down, and before he could say anything, Mei Bosheng rolled out of the car and began vomiting. This was what happened to him when he overused his supernatural powers in an instant. Lin Tantan's condition wasn't as serious, but seeing him vomiting, he seemed to be affected as well, holding his waist and retching.
Ye Xiao supported her with one hand and patted her back gently with the other.
"Hey, aren't you pregnant? You're still rushing on the road even though you're pregnant. It's not easy!" Suddenly a frivolous voice sounded, and a team armed with guns came in the rain. Leading the team was a young man with a mixed-race appearance. His hair was dyed chestnut brown, and it should have been permed recently. He had a silver earring hanging on his ear. He wore an ordinary raincoat but he looked very trendy. He was a fashionable and flamboyant guy.
He looked around at everyone with a smile: "Sorry, I'm late, but I'm relieved to see that you've all made it safely. Alas, because of you, you attracted so many zombies, and we've been very busy."
Lin Tantan stood up and looked at the man indifferently, wondering if it was someone he had heard of. As for the man's teasing, he didn't need to pay any attention to it.
She thought to herself, the entire convoy's entry into the base took more than ten minutes. If they really wanted to help, why would they arrive only now? It seemed that they were really not welcome by the base, or was this the Ning City base's attitude, not caring about the lives of the new survivors at all.
Well, a big part of the reason is probably because the base is saturated with people and supplies are in short supply. Although population is wealth, if you can't feed them, the more people there are, the more trouble they will cause.
Ye Xiao didn't say anything polite to the man. He said, "Even without us, the zombies will still come. Oh, and Major General Xing is still more than ten kilometers away. I don't know what's going on right now."
The young man's expression changed slightly: "The chief wants to see you."
"We need a place to stay."
"We'll talk about that later. Meeting the chief is more important."
Ye Xiao was uncompromising: "My people got caught in the rain and need to wash up and rest immediately."
The young man frowned. "With over a hundred thousand people, how can we spare so much space in such a short time?"
"You don't need that many. Just arrange for those who got caught in the rain first."
The young man gritted his teeth and said, "I'll have someone take them there right away, okay?"
Ye Xiao said to Bai Cheng: "Bai Cheng, you make the arrangements."
Bai Cheng responded, "Okay."
Ye Xiao turned to Lin Tan and said, "When we get there, take a shower and have a good rest."
Lin Tantan's face and lips were pale. He asked, "Are you going to Xing Guoliang's place later?"
"Not necessarily. It depends on what the chief here thinks. Otherwise, it would be useless for me to go alone." Ye Xiao said, "But you don't have to worry about these things. Just rest well. Especially you. So many people got caught in the rain today. It's hard to say how many people will get sick. You may have to work hard then."
Lin Tantan thought about it and nodded: "I understand." But she looked at Ye Xiao's wet clothes, moved her lips, and still wanted to say something.
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "You've forgotten what special ability I have. It dries quickly."
Lin Tan Tan: ... can it be used like this after air drying?
But since she had said that, she couldn't waste his time any longer. Lin Tan Tan sighed inwardly: "Be careful."
The two people themselves may not have noticed it, but others saw it clearly. When Ye Xiao talked to Lin, his voice was lower and softer than when he talked to others. The atmosphere between the two was also very different.
The others were fine, but the mixed-race young man rolled his eyes: "What time are you still fussing about romance?"
Lin Tantan was stunned, then frightened. Her first reaction was to look at Bai Cheng, but she couldn't see anything. But she felt even more uneasy. She quickly took two steps back and distanced herself from Ye Xiao. She felt that she had done something very bad.
Ye Xiao: “…”
Ye Xiao looked at the mixed-race youth coldly: "If you really care about time, your leader should not have waited for me to see him, but should have come here himself or issued meaningful instructions immediately."
The mixed-race youth choked and wanted to say something, but Ye Xiao had already said, "Let's go."
Ye Xiao left in the base's car, and the rest of the group also gathered themselves and headed for their destination. In the distance, under the eaves, Xu Tianjin stared blankly at the car passing by, muttering, "Ye Xiao, it really is Ye Xiao."
Zhou Yan smiled and asked him, "Do you know this Ye Xiao?"
"Uh, I just heard about it."
"He seems to be a very powerful person. His men are also very strong. They held off the zombie tide for several minutes. It's really admirable."
"Yeah." Xu Tianjin looked at the remaining people at the gate. The heavy rain made it hard to see their faces. Were they all members of Ye Xiao's team? The girl named Mei or something should have been dead by now. Oh, if only Doctor Lin could see this; she was a fan of Ye Xiao.
Then he became conflicted again. He admired and was grateful to Dr. Ye who saved him. Now Dr. Ye’s idol was right next to him, but he had to cling to Zhou Yan and even help Zhou Yan in the future?
Zhou Yan looked at him and said to the others, "Let's go. My brother seems to be in this convoy too. Let's go and take a look."
…
In addition to Lin Tantan and his group who were soaked to the skin, the people on the artillery cart, as well as the psychics and guards who came out to help later, were also in a very bad situation. Some of them were even turned into mud figures. The weather was already cold, and they were wearing wet and heavy clothes, and they were almost shaking like sieves.
These people were placed in a decent-quality residential area, one of the few places in Ningshi Base that still had limited access to water and electricity. Lin Tantan and his group were taken to the villa area. These weren't fancy villas, but rather country-style villas, nestled at the foot of a mountain, not far from the residential area. The red roofs and white walls of the houses gave them a very rustic feel.
