"Da da da".
"Bang bang bang".
"Put-put-put."
"boom!"
Gunshots and supernatural explosions filled the entire Victory Base, and blood stained the snow red for miles around.
But they can't be killed off, they just can't be killed off. These zombies come from who knows where, they keep popping up one wave after another, just like weeds.
Not only at Victory Base, but at all other bases, the blood-red landscape of Z Country was covered in wounds.
When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.
Inside a hidden base, a man wearing a red mask looked at the pattern on his hand, a violent smile playing on his lips, and wisps of black smoke rising from his head.
Inside the Victory Base.
One piece of bad news after another reached Chen Yuanzheng's ears, driving him to a frenzy. "Report! We're out of bullets!" "No more shells!" "Our superpowers are gone!"
Chen Yuanzheng made a decision: "Everyone, consume crystal cores to replenish your powers, and always be aware of your companions. If anyone mutates, kill them!"
"Those on the fighter jets, parachute to safety and detonate the helicopter!"
They have lost their superpowers and all their firearms. Now, their only option is to consume crystal cores to replenish their superpowers.
They had no way out.
All the superhumans were covered in sweat and looked exhausted. They took out the crystal cores they had prepared in advance and stuffed them into their mouths.
"Ah! Kill them!"
With their powers replenished, they went on a killing spree once more. When their powers were exhausted, they ate crystal cores, killed more zombies, exhausted their powers again, and ate more crystal cores. They seemed to be trapped in an endless vicious cycle.
Half an hour later, the first mutant appeared in the Victory Base.
Veins bulged on Li Tong's face and neck, turning black inch by inch. Clinging to his last shred of sanity, he said to his companion beside him, "Quick, kill me!"
"Thump!" The head fell through the defensive wall and was devoured by the zombies below.
Li Tong's transformation was like a signal. Before long, the group of people with the lowest ability levels also underwent transformations. They did the same as Li Tong: they informed those around them, or they committed suicide.
Having protected their companions for so long, they absolutely cannot harm them.
An eerie silence fell over everyone on the defensive wall; their previous attempts to comfort each other turned into complete silence.
Silent battle raged, wave after wave of people fell, and behind them were the fearless superhumans who continued to advance, killing zombies. If the zombies didn't die, it was their children, their parents, and their friends who would die.
After consuming a crystal core, Chen Yuanzheng looked at the seemingly undiminished horde of zombies below and fell silent.
Inside the air-raid shelter, Li Yu and Chen Feng pleaded with the two guards standing at the entrance, "Please, let us out. We can kill zombies too, we definitely won't hold you back."
Behind the two were elderly people, children, and women who also lacked supernatural abilities.
Women and men without superpowers shouted, "Kill the zombies! Kill the zombies!"
“We can protect you too. I have some oil here; let’s burn these zombies.”
"I have a shovel, I have a stick!"
"We are men, and we are very strong. Look at the muscles on our bodies!"
The elderly people were also saying, "Let the children stay, we'll go. I'm an old man, but I can still contribute to the base!"
The children disagreed, their little faces full of determination, mimicking their parents' example, "We kids can kill zombies too!"
The guard's earpiece kept ringing with bad news. Looking at the people they had been protecting inside the air-raid shelter, their faces were filled with fighting spirit. They did not back down. He made a decision that went against Chen Yuanzheng's wishes: "Open the door!"
Chen Yuanzheng looked around at his companions. They were exhausted from their superpowers and collapsed, but they still insisted on squeezing out the last bit of their superpowers. Some were undergoing mutations, while others had already collapsed.
But there were still so many zombies below, as if they hadn't killed any before.
He looked at his son, whose hair was wet and plastered to his scalp, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and he didn't say a word, but the light that had always been in his eyes seemed to have disappeared.
They couldn't hold on any longer.
Chen Yuanzheng opened his mouth and made a difficult decision, "We..."
"Chief, we're here!" The elderly voice, gentle yet strong, filled with hope, reached Chen Yuanzheng's ears.
The elderly, women, and men without supernatural abilities all came out of the air-raid shelter, leaving only the children inside.
"Chief, oil! Burn them!"
"A rock, such a heavy rock, it's sure to kill a zombie!"
"This is the bow and arrow I've been honing for a long time. Use it to pierce the zombie's head!"
…
Chen Yuanzheng turned his head and looked at the ordinary people in the base below the defensive wall with surprise. At this moment, his despairing heart seemed to be filled with hope again.
Not only Chen Yuanzheng, but also the exhausted superhumans on the defensive wall rallied. Among the crowd below, they saw their elderly parents, their wives who had supported each other for most of their lives, and their children who had just come of age.
"We're here! We'll fight zombies with you, and we'll provide logistical support!"
"We are together! Let's fight the enemy!"
Chen Yuanzheng swallowed back the words "Let's self-destruct" that he was about to say, and shouted instead, "Let's kill! Kill! Kill!"
Protection is always a two-way street.
The people protecting them gave them immense confidence, and they wielded their superpowers with reckless abandon as they faced the horde of zombies below.
The superhumans ran out of power, so the ordinary people around them attacked, throwing stones, stabbing with arrows, hitting zombies on the head with shovels, burning zombies, and knocking down those zombies that tried to climb over the defensive wall!
They still have hope!
Two hours passed, and everyone was exhausted. Chen Feng leaned against the foremost defensive wall, panting heavily, as did Li Yu beside him.
Just as the two were about to ask the superhuman in their positions to take their place, Chen Feng was suddenly pulled down by a zombie that climbed up.
"Ah!" Chen Feng screamed in agony. Li Yu noticed and grabbed Chen Feng's hand tightly, his voice trembling with tears, "Feng, someone come quick!"
Attracted by their exclamations, Xu Tingting saw it and slammed the shovel, stained with zombie blood, into the head of the zombie that was grabbing Chen Feng's arm.
Chen Feng was sweating profusely. He had been bitten by a zombie, and the zombies below were gnawing at his flesh. "Let go! Stop saving me! I've been bitten! Let go!" He desperately struggled to break free from Li Yu's grip.
Li Yu didn't have much strength left. She struggled for half a minute before finally watching helplessly as Chen Feng fell into the horde of zombies below.
Not only them, but many others on the defensive wall were pulled down by the suddenly rampaging zombies.
Hope did not seem to come their way.
Just then, a giant cube-shaped object appeared in the sky, accompanied by Ye Zhi's childish voice, "Grandpa Chen, we're here!"
