Chapter 511: Chapter 511 Malice
One by one, vehicles slowly drove out of the entrance of the military base, with Su Jin’s two cars following behind several military trucks belonging to the guard squad.
After all, where to clear zombies and how to assign personnel were decisions made by the base, and this time, leading the guard squad was none other than Li Haochu, with Su Jin even spotting Rong Yuan and Ye Rongxin accompanying him.
Rong Yuan was very excited and thrilled; this was his first time going on a mission with his teacher, Li Haochu, and Su Jin’s group was following them too. He even felt as if he was out on a vacation.
Li Haochu had also warned him that they might encounter dangerous situations today and should never be complacent or underestimate the enemy, especially since he was worried that their large number could attract high-level zombies.
However, with the Heart Talk Team accompanying them this time, he knew that the girl in their team had the same Mental Element Ability as Sheng Jing. If there were any sudden dangers, Su Jin and the others would inform them using the walkie-talkies they provided.
The area 500 meters outside the base had already been swept clear of snow during the past two days, though a layer had accumulated again overnight.
As they drove further, the vehicles had to trudge through the thick snow.
The vehicles moved very slowly, with every driver fully alert. Hitting zombies wasn’t terrible; the real trouble would be if the zombies caused the vehicles to skid.
Su Jin finally understood why Ye Rongxin, the captain of the security team who had no special ability, had also come along.
Zombies would occasionally rise from the snow upon hearing the noise of the vehicles, only to be shot in the head the next second by a silencer gun wielded by Ye Rongxin sitting in the passenger seat, not missing a single shot.
"Excellent marksmanship!"
If Su Xiangzhe weren’t driving, he would have clapped his hands. From such a distance, not even abilities were certain to hit, but he managed with just a gun. No wonder he was known as a sharpshooter within the base.
"Be a little cautious after driving another five hundred meters; there are over 400 zombies to the front right,"
Upon receiving Mao Qiqi’s warning, Lu Hao informed Li Haochu in the vehicle ahead via walkie-talkie.
In the leading military truck, only Li Haochu, the driver, and Ye Rongxin, the passenger, were seated so as not to interfere with Mao Qiqi’s special ability.
"Received,"
After hearing the message, Ye Rongxin also braced himself; over 400 zombies, and they were only about 2 kilometers away from the base.
Indeed, after the vehicle had driven a bit further, those 400 zombies were already frantically running towards the trucks through the snow. Li Haochu quickly issued the order to exterminate them.
However, not all of these 400 zombies were ordinary; half of them were mutated zombies, prompting Su Jin and the others to get off their vehicles as well.
"Xiao Tian, Shi Jin, don’t stray too far from the team,"
Lu Hao said, noting that Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin seemed eager to start killing zombies, but there were too many mutated zombies now.
"Yes, Captain Lu,"
Out of habit, the two responded as they would have before the apocalypse, exchanging smiles before quickly engaging in battle.
In truth, these zombies didn’t pose much of a challenge in the eyes of Su Jin’s group. With their current numbers, it wouldn’t be difficult for one person to take on one zombie, so the family mostly provided support, helping out wherever there was danger.
Especially after Liao Yifan joined them, her Level Four Power Element kicks could explode the head of a zombie, making the guard squad members, who had never seen such a fighting style, swallow hard.
Are all the girls in the Heart Talk Team this tough and explosive?
As Su Jin kept an eye on Yin Chengtian’s situation, she saw that he did not falter when facing a Wind Element Mutated Zombie. The constitution of an Ability User allowed him to dodge swiftly, and the vines he produced were winding, brown woody vines. Although they couldn’t strike the zombies quickly, they served to block the attacks for him.
Not bad, Su Jin thought.
At least he was able to use it in combat, Su Jin believed that with more fighting experience, he would be even more comfortable.
Although Shi Jin was still a Level Two Power Element user, he had followed the team and killed quite a few zombies before, so he quickly took down three or four zombies. no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
When killing zombies in the crowd, Shi Jin always felt like someone was shoving him, but because there were many people and his full attention was on the zombies around him, he didn’t pay much mind to it.
Xie Hengrui was a Speed Element Ability User, and his movements were also very fast, but since Shi Jin was a Power Element Ability User, Xie Hengrui tried pushing him a few times but failed to push him into the zombies.
"Little Xie, what are you spacing out for?"
The captain of the Sun Moon Rivers and Mountains Team, Zeng Peng, asked, with so many people helping to kill zombies, he was the only one standing there as if daydreaming; it was hard not to notice him.
Originally, Zeng Peng brought him along just in case they encountered danger, he could help draw the zombies’ attention. But now, the battle obviously didn’t require the help of a Speed Element Ability User, and Zeng Peng didn’t know when he had slipped in.
"Yes, sorry, Captain, I also want to help, I just got distracted for a moment..."
Xie Hengrui explained with a forced smile.
Lu Hao, who wasn’t originally paying attention to this side, glanced sideways at the two men speaking in the front.
Distracted while killing zombies?
Zeng Peng also felt that Xie Hengrui was deliberately trying to embarrass him, so he scolded him and told him to go back to the van.
Although Xie Hengrui continuously feigned shame, the moment he sat in the car, his face instantly turned cold. Zeng Peng was just a Level Five Ability User, and yet he didn’t leave him any face in front of so many people.
Thinking of Su Jin and Lu Hao helping those in danger alongside the Heart Talk Team just now, he felt that his captain was even less deserving of the title. He must find a way to get into the Heart Talk Team...
The group of zombies was dealt with in less than ten minutes, and the Guard squad quickly extracted the Crystal Cores.
Li Haochu breathed a sigh of relief; there were no casualties, and he had brought along several Healing Element Ability users, which seemed unnecessary for the time being.
Rong Yuan felt that the fight had ended before he had his fill, even though they had only just left for a short while.
"I think if we encounter such minor waves of zombies again, just a few of us coming down would be enough. With so many people, I can’t even tell who is human and who is a zombie," said Liao Yifan, who felt that she hadn’t killed many zombies, mainly because it was hard to fight in such crowded places.
"Exactly, I also felt like someone kept pushing me from behind, and I almost fell over," Shi Jin added.
Their conversation reached the front of the van, and Lu Hao furrowed his brows; he indeed felt that when everyone got out, it had the opposite effect in some ways.
