Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Three High-Level Zombies
"Captain Xing, I now feel that it was absolutely right for all of us to come here together,"
After the exercise, Wang Zhi, who was beside Xing Taining, said. Their group of 12, besides Xing Taining, the remaining 11 had successfully joined the guard squad of the S City base. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Since they had undergone professional training even before the apocalypse and still retained their military IDs from that time, Liang Jiuhui had enthusiastically enlisted them all into the base.
Now, they all felt incredibly grateful to have come here with Xing Taining.
"It’s good that you know. Keep up the good work,"
Xing Taining patted Wang Zhi’s shoulder. Over the past month, the formerly emaciated men, who could have been blown over by a single gust of wind, had gained some weight, and Zhou Chengren, who had been injured, had completely recovered.
According to his earlier plan, he had intended to visit Xing Taian in the next few days, but a sudden blizzard meant he would have to wait a bit longer.
While chatting, he seemed to see Su Jin’s family’s two cars. He initially wanted to go over and greet them, but when he looked up again, he noticed the cars had already driven away.
"Darn, it’s been snowing for a few days now. You can’t even make out what the base looks like. There used to be so many people back in the day,"
Lin Xiuyuan was enthusiastically introducing the S City base to Li Xiuying in the car. However, the base was currently blanketed in white, and there were very few pedestrians on the roads.
"No wonder Sister Xiao Jin always recommended that our family come here,"
Lin Yunguo nodded and spoke. Even with the snowfall, they could feel that this base was different from other bases they had visited before, evident from the expressions of the passers-by.
Due to the extreme cold, Su Jin was worried that the elderly might not adapt well, so she had them enter the ’space’ early.
Just as the family was about to drive back, Mao Qiqi in another car issued a warning: "Sister Xiao Jin, three large dots have appeared outside the base. They’re High-Level Mutated Zombies!"
Mao Qiqi did not know the exact level of these Mutated Zombies, but judging by the size of the dots, she felt they must be at least Level Seven, as they had never encountered Level Eight zombies before.
Level Seven or higher Mutated Zombies?
Su Jin frowned and also looked towards Lu Hao. Should they go out and check?
They soon realized that Zhang Chuyang, a speed element user, was already waiting for them outside.
"Su Jin! The base leader is calling you guys over to help!"
Zhang Chuyang rushed over as soon as Lu Hao opened a window and shouted to him.
"..."
What does he mean by ’your base leader’?
But the family didn’t hesitate any longer. They took Zhang Chuyang along and quickly drove towards the direction outside the base.
If they were dealing with Level Seven or higher Mutated Zombies, then outside right now...
At that moment, Liang Jiuhui was fighting a Level Seven Power Element Mutated Zombie. As soon as this zombie appeared, it was impervious to knives and guns, knocked over more than a dozen special ability users, and even grabbed a slow running female ability user and tore her in half!
The scent of fresh blood excited the other two Level Six Mutated Zombies, one of whom, a Fire Element Mutated Zombie, was like a madman, releasing countless fireballs at the combatant guards.
Bang!
Jian Zongzheng was also hit by a wind ball from another Level Six Wind Element Mutated Zombie, and was knocked several meters away into a pile of snow.
The wind balls of a Level Six Wind Element Mutated Zombie were no longer just small ones, Jian Zongzheng thought he could avoid it, but the area of impact of the wind ball was so large that he now felt the entire right side of his body numb.
Roar!
"Ah Zheng!"
From a distance, Anna screamed heartbreakingly, but because she had no special ability, she was currently being evacuated with the crowd and could not get anywhere near the frontlines of the battlefield.
At this moment, she could only watch helplessly as the mutated zombie’s claws reached for Jian Zongzheng, who was lying in a pile of snow.
Whoosh!
It seemed like a figure brushed past her at an incredibly fast pace, so fast that even the wind element mutated zombie didn’t notice before the figure gave it a hefty kick!
It was Zhang Chuyang!
Anna wept with joy, grateful that Jian Zongzheng was safe.
The wind element mutated zombie was furiously enraged, sending fierce wind blades towards Zhang Chuyang’s direction.
Zhang Chuyang didn’t face them head-on but kept running forward instead.
Though the wind element mutated zombie was level six, it was still far slower than the level five speed element ability user Zhang Chuyang. By the time the wind element mutated zombie realized it and turned around, Zhang Chuyang had already picked up Jian Zongzheng from the ground, and was sprinting towards the base at high speed!
Roar!
Seeing its prey escape, the wind element mutated zombie was about to give chase when Xue Wanyi arrived and blocked its path.
He had just escorted his trainees to safety after the appearance of the high-level mutated zombies, then quickly returned to the fray.
Guan Hong and Xu Shi were also aiding Liang Jiuhui on the side.
The vivid red bloodstains on the snowy ground were startling and drew even more zombies from afar towards the base.
"Old Xue, back off!"
Lu Hao shouted.
Although Xue Wanyi’s wind element was close to advancing to level five, he was still no match for the level six wind element mutated zombie!
Seeing Su Jin and Lu Hao and the others had caught up, Xue Wanyi didn’t try to tough it out, quickly leaping out of the attack range of that wind element zombie, attacking other approaching zombies instead.
The guard squad members, who had just concluded their drills on top of the city walls, were also ready and waiting under Li Haochu’s command, with snipers aiming forward.
But since the team clearing snow the next day was several hundred meters away from the base, they couldn’t shoot, merely waiting silently for the first zombie to run towards the outside of the city walls.
"Commander Li, I’ll take some ability users and go support!"
Xing Taining, who had just participated in the drill, came running up to say.
Li Haochu used a telescope to glance at the distant battle situation, and nodded gravely.
It was unclear where those three high-level mutated zombies had come from, nor whether the distant fight would attract a zombie tide. However, one thing he was sure of was that the horde of zombies had been drawn there.
"Open the gates! All special ability users level four and above, follow Xing Taining to the front for support!"
Li Haochu shouted.
"Yes!"
The team’s response was resoundingly loud; many spectators at the drill became aware of the situation outside, and numerous teams of ability users were already armed and ready to follow the guard squad to provide support at the front.
Xing Taining was somewhat surprised; were there really so many survivors at this base willing to join the official forces to protect it?
