Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Lian Ze’s Combat Mecha
People who had experienced the last Zombie Tide could tell that this time the tide was significantly different!
The Mutated Zombies’ attack on the base had intensified, and the numbers seemed hardly fewer than before.
Bang!
Boom!
The cannonballs launched from the city walls, as per Li Haochu’s orders, landed in various corners below, blasting many zombies into minced meat. Soon, the zombies behind swiftly crowded forward, filling the gaps left in the front.
"Keep firing!"
Li Haochu felt immensely thrilled as he saw hundreds of zombies being blown away under the wall. Now that the base had a sufficient reserve of ammunition, they no longer had to conserve as much as they did last time.
However, it didn’t take long for some Mutated Zombies to notice the power of those cannonballs. A Fire Element Mutated Zombie even threw its Special Ability at a cannonball midair!
Boom!
Several cannonballs exploded midair upon colliding with the abilities thrown by the Mutated Zombies, failing to hit the zombies below!
"Getting smarter, huh"
Li Haochu gritted his teeth.
There was even a Power Element Mutated Zombie that picked up a nearby Ordinary Zombie and threw it at the cannonballs in the air.
"Commander Li, this isn’t working, much of the ammunition is wasted!"
A Guard Squad Member who was operating a cannon yelled, they had never anticipated this situation before!
"Slow down the pace but keep attacking. Even if it’s a waste, at least it will deplete those Mutated Zombies’ Special Abilities. Once the base’s Special Ability Users are all ready, we’ll change our strategy!"
Li Haochu ordered.
"Yes!" no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
Within the base’s city walls at that moment, the Special Ability Guard Squad, various mercenary corps, and teams were assembling. Hearing the deafening roars of zombies outside, Li Haochu couldn’t help but think of the Heart Talk Team.
He missed Su Jin’s Mutated Plants and Lu Hao’s Mysterious Fire Fan so much right now...
The Heart Talk Team was already prepared.
These past few days, Mao Qiqi had not stayed in the Space for long. She awoke in the evening, when the Zombie Tide was still at some distance from the base, and quickly informed her neighbors, Su Jin and Lu Hao.
Indeed, within a few minutes, the base’s alarm rang, presumably Liang Jiuhui and the others had noticed it right away.
"Where’s the Base Leader?"
Ding He asked, noting the absence of Liang Jiuhui.
"He went over to the Weapon Research Institute."
Shao Zian said, Liang Jiuhui had heard something from Rong Yuan just before and excused himself, mentioning he’d make a quick trip to the Weapon Research Institute and be right back.
Weapon Research Institute?
"Could it be..."
Ding He widened his eyes, could it be that behemoth they saw last time?
Could that thing really be deployed in battle?
...
A vehicle raced from inside the base to the foot of the city wall, and Liang Jiuhui indeed emerged with Sheng Jing and Song Sibo, followed by Lian Ze and Moli?
Lian Ze wrapped in two layers of thick down jackets and a scarf and hat, only his excited eyes visible.
Zombie Tide?! It was his first time having the chance to see it!
Liang Jiuhui and his group walked briskly up the stairs to the city wall.
Seeing Lian Ze struggling to climb the stairs, slipping with every step, and even shivering from the cold, Liang Jiuhui spoke to someone beside him. Moments later, a tall woman came over and simply hoisted Lian Ze onto her shoulders and carried him up to the city wall.
Lian Ze being carried: "I’ve experienced the strength of a Power Element Ability User for the first time, it’s amazing."
Moli following behind: "..."
Seeing that the Heart Talk Team was also waiting on top of the city wall, Liang Jiuhui excitedly said to everyone, "I’ll show you all something nice soon."
"Something nice?"
Su Jin asked puzzledly, wondering if there was some powerful Special Ability or Special Ability User coming?
"Xiao Song, bring it out."
Accompanied by the booming explosions from below the city wall, Liang Jiuhui made everyone clear a large space.
Song Sibo nodded and pulled out the Combat Mecha that had stunned him when he had recently collected it from the Weapon Research Institute.
The scene went silent for a few seconds.
Even the Guard Squad Member, who was still firing, couldn’t help but turn to look for a moment.
Snap!
Li Haochu patted a curious Guard Squad Member who had turned his head, saying, "What are you looking at? Afraid of missing your aim? I’ll let you see enough soon!"
However, he too was staring intently at the grand and majestic Mecha that Song Sibo had brought out.
He had seen it before, but after these few days, the Mecha looked even cooler!
"Is this a robot?"
Lu Guanhai clicked his tongue in wonder, feeling as though his neck was about to twist from looking.
In Lu Guanhai’s eyes, the robot stood about two meters tall, its whole silver-gray body gleaming with firelight and lights on the lit-up city wall, emitting bursts of cold light.
It merely stood there silently, and already everyone present could feel its power.
"A Mecha?"
Lin Xiuyuan’s mouth hung open for a while before he came up with that name, wondering if he was dreaming.
Su Jin saw that Lu Hao, Lin Cheng, and several other men had their eyes full of astonishment. It wasn’t just the men, even she felt that the scene before her eyes was too staggering.
It was her first time seeing it in two lifetimes!
"Achoo!"
An incongruous voice came over, as Lian Ze rubbed his nose, reddened from the cold, and looked contently at everyone’s awestruck faces before saying to Moli, "Moli, you control it."
Moli glanced at the Zombies below the wall, swallowed hard, and felt scared to go into the Zombie crowd!
"Don’t worry, even if the energy runs out, the Zombies won’t be able to break it."
Lian Ze comforted her, and in his view, there was nothing to be afraid of. If he were a Special Ability User, he might have gone up already.
"I..."
Moli was on the verge of tears, afraid she would press the wrong button in her nervousness.
"I’ll do it!"
Rong Yuan came forward from the back and said.
He had formed this Mecha, part by part, under Lian Ze’s guidance; no one knew its structure better than him. Moreover, he had test-driven it in the Weapon Research Institute. Although he hadn’t pressed the attack button, he still knew the basic maneuvers.
Moreover, to fight in the midst of a Zombie crowd was something he was eager for.
"Can you handle it, kid?"
Li Haochu reluctantly looked at Rong Yuan, feeling as if jumping down there was like diving into an abyss.
Rong Yuan just smiled, nodded, and quickly jumped into the driving seat of the Mecha.
He could do it!
"My God!"
The young Guard Squad Member who had been slapped by Li Haochu just now was stunned again, for he saw that super cool big guy jump right before his eyes!
It jumped into the Zombie pile?!
Lights shining outside the base walls as bright as daylight and reflecting silvery gleams, the Combat Mecha grabbed the attention of everyone on the city wall.
Although it leaped directly from the high city wall, it didn’t smash into a heap of scrap metal; the bright light emitted from the bottom buffeted it well, allowing it to land steadily on its feet.
