Chapter 532: Chapter 532 Worth It!
Roar!
The Fire Element Zombie unleashed another Fire Dragon at Lin Xiuyuan, who had long been prepared and used a thick Ice Shield to block the attack.
But the Level Five Ice Shield showed signs of melting in just seconds before the Level Seven flames!
"Lin Xiuyuan, make some room in the middle,"
called out Su Jin, who was running up from behind Lin Xiuyuan.
While maintaining control of the Ice Shield and preventing it from being toppled by the flames, Lin Xiuyuan shifted his figure to one side.
Soon the middle part of the Ice Shield melted away, and the very second after the flames broke through, a sharp vine suddenly extended in the opposite direction from the middle of the flames and pierced straight into the neck of the Fire Element Zombie!
The vine bored into the brain of the Fire Element Zombie through its neck, killing the Level Seven Fire Element Zombie instantly.
"Your vine didn’t even burn up?"
Lin Xiuyuan was still thinking about his Ice Shield melting a moment ago.
"Level difference,"
Su Jin simply stated these words and continued slaughtering the zombies on the field.
"..."
Lin Xiuyuan felt a sting in his heart.
Many people watching the battle from the city walls had crowded into the tower, knowing that if they continued standing outside, they likely wouldn’t last long before being turned into a snowman. However, the Heart Talk Team on the field was still fighting tirelessly.
"They are so strong. Don’t they ever get tired?"
Even the ten Guard Squad members had already been rotated once.
"And Su Jin was one of the first to go up..."
"So was Lu Hao,"
...
Su Jin could see that after several hours of continuous combat, Lu Hao was starting to tire, especially since he had been in the front lines blocking many attacks from the Mutated Zombies, allowing her to conserve energy for more Special Abilities.
"Shall we all take a break?"
Su Jin suggested, noting that there were many others inside the base who had not yet taken their turns as they had been fighting since nightfall.
"I’m still fine, it’s just that my Special Ability is a bit depleted,"
Lu Hao said, looking at his now significantly smaller Fireballs.
"Let’s take a break, I’m almost at my limit too,"
Lu Guanhai felt his arms were getting sore from keeping them raised.
"You guys go down first, I’ll move the Man-eating Flower over, I can hold on for a little while longer,"
Su Jin stated. Her Wood Element Ability had only been used halfway up to that point, and because of everyone’s protection, she felt she could continue using her Special Ability for a while longer.
But now people were already coming over to persuade her to take a break...
To avoid giving the impression she was overexerting herself, she merely moved the Man-eating Flower outside the metal wall and released a few Special Ability-consuming powerful moves against the zombies outside the fence before heading back inside the city wall.
The Special Ability Users queued up inside the gate had already begun saluting them.
"Su Jin, great work! You’ve done so much!"
"Others will take over now, please be sure to rest!"
"..."
Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. Did she really look that worn out?
She had just been sitting down for quite a while!!
But with the Man-eating Flower now providing support outside the city gate, there shouldn’t be too much pressure.
Her family and Guo Yang’s group decided to simply go back to the villa to rest, since they had come by car and it was continuously snowing heavily outside.
The gunners on the city walls would occasionally receive orders to open fire simultaneously at the Zombie Tide, catching the Mutated Zombies off guard with no time to react, just like Li Haochu had said.
This tactic was clearly very effective, not a single shell was wasted, each one smashing into the horde of Zombies.
Meanwhile, the snipers positioned in the middle of the city wall didn’t cease fire either, their shots always finding their mark in the brains of the target Mutated Zombies, alleviating the pressure on those fighting in the inner field considerably.
After the Heart Talk Team left, a bright light suddenly burst forth in the inner field, where Liang Jiuhui was fighting the Zombies.
Those who had experienced the first Zombie Tide within the base showed no surprise, but Xing Taining, Wei Junhao, and a few others, including Han Yue, were astonished.
A Base Leader actually ran into the midst of Zombies to fight against the Zombie Tide?
"Don’t they usually command from behind?"
Wei Junhao muttered, why had that kid gone up himself?
"Command from behind? That sounds nice. If our previous Base Leader had encountered this situation, he would’ve already hidden in the cellar,"
Xing Taining said with biting sarcasm.
Yet he did admire Liang Jiuhui. No wonder he had heard before that his Thunder Element Ability had already reached Level Five.
Liang Jiuhui felt it was nothing special, though. Fighting in the inner field might seem fraught with danger, but as long as everyone cooperated well, there was not much danger now. Moreover, it had been many days since he had last used his Special Ability.
Looking at the Man-eating Flowers in front of him that were still devouring Zombies, Liang Jiuhui thought they looked extremely cute for the first time.
Compared to the stench of the Zombies, the odor they emitted smelled so refreshingly unique.
The Level Five Thunder Element Ability was indeed dazzling among all the Special Ability Users. In a flash of lightning, a row of Zombies that had just tumbled in were electrocuted into clumps of charred remains.
Xu Shi and Guan Hong were both protecting Liang Jiuhui while also killing Zombies.
They noticed that these Zombies were not affected by the weather at all, and their movements were very agile, unlike themselves, whose reaction speed was affected by their heavy clothing.
Puchi!
The hand of a Power Element Zombie pierced through the chest of a Special Ability User.
"Old Zhou!"
His comrade cried out in anguished fury, his teeth gritted as he chopped off half the head of the Power Element Zombie, but it was clear Old Zhou was a goner.
"Just kill me,"
The man known as Old Zhou managed to say between spitting blood.
He wanted to go out human.
"Old Zhou!!"
The man cried out in unwillingness but still mustered the resolve to end his comrade’s life with a Metal spike.
While he was still mourning for his fallen comrade, a Zombie unexpectedly pounced rapidly towards his back!
Bang!
A bullet cut through the snowflakes, piercing the Zombie’s head.
Upon hearing the sound of the corpse falling behind him, the man looked in surprise towards the origin of the bullet. It was none other than the Security Team Captain Ye Rongxin standing there.
The man nodded in gratitude and turned back to continue slaughtering Zombies.
"Everyone, be careful, don’t get careless! There are too many Mutated Zombies, our advantage lies in using our brains and cooperating with our teammates!"
Liang Jiuhui shouted loudly, knowing that sacrifices were inevitable, yet in his view, every death of a Survivor from the base was a loss for humanity.
Therefore, a new rule was added to the sign-up station for those resisting the Zombie Tide at the base: for Special Ability Users below Level Three, no more than five individuals were allowed to enter the field at a time, and these five could only fight from the back or middle rows against the Zombies.
The base encouraged the Mercenary Corps or whole teams to take the field together, as coordinated fighting could minimize casualties to the greatest extent.
Far from causing dissatisfaction, this strict rule made all the Special Ability Users realize the base’s good intentions.
Even for lower-level Special Ability Users, the base didn’t belittle them; instead, it was tacitly protecting them and preventing them from making futile sacrifices.
To serve such a base was worth it!
