Chapter 545: Chapter 545: A Strong Enemy Appears at the Base
Just in the final two days of the zombie tide at the base, the Weapon Research Institute finally delivered some good news.
They had created silenced shells using the principles of silencers. Although the sound couldn’t be entirely eliminated and the shells still made a noise when they exploded on impact, the sound was much quieter than before and could barely be heard a few kilometers away.
As the number of zombies began to dwindle, Liang Jiuhui did not order to shoot them down with weapons.
The blizzard had not ceased, so this could serve as practice for the base’s special ability users!
That night, while the special ability users who had been fighting all day were sound asleep in the base, Su Jin suddenly opened her eyes.
Had a Man-eating Flower been snapped off?
Since there weren’t many zombies left, Su Jin had withdrawn most of the Man-eating Flowers during the day, leaving only two, one on each side. And now, one of her Man-eating Flowers had been broken off?
What had happened outside the base?
Could it be a high-level mutated zombie?
At that moment, Mao Qiqi also knocked on the door.
The family had not been resting in space these past few days. Because of being previously targeted by Han Yue, Su Jin and her family had been staying in their villa all along.
"Sister Xiao Jin, there are many large animals outside!"
Mao Qiqi said while knocking on the door.
Large animals?
Could it be mutant animals?
And at that moment, the sound of bombings coming from outside the base reminded everyone that formidable enemies had arrived!
"Qiqi, how many is ’many’?"
Su Jin asked as she opened the door.
"Twelve, and they appear to be quite large,"
Mao Qiqi replied.
"What happened, Qiqi? Has something else happened?"
The family upstairs and the people from Deputy Wei’s villa had also hurriedly dressed and came over to ask.
"Qiqi said that there are twelve large animals outside the base,"
Lu Hao said with a frown. Why would large animals suddenly come to the base?
"It must be a mental element mutated zombie that can communicate with animals,"
Su Jin guessed. In fact, the abilities of many Mental Element ability users were different, and not all Mental Element ability users could understand the meanings of various animals like Qiqi.
But if so many large animals had suddenly appeared outside today, Su Jin suspected it was very likely a Mental Element mutated zombie that had drawn the zombie animals there.
The family didn’t stay uninvolved. When they braved the blizzard to leave the villa, the base was already brightly lit.
Many special ability users were heading toward the direction of the base’s gate, either on foot or driving quickly.
The Heart Talk Team was no exception, and they drove two cars toward the action.
"Mutant animals are easier to kill; they feel pain and have weaknesses. Zombie animals, on the other hand, are more troublesome; you can only aim for their heads,"
Su Xiangzhe analyzed based on their past encounters with mutant and zombie animals.
"Right, and it’s very difficult to destroy the brains of large animals,"
Su Jin also prayed that it wasn’t a large zombie animal, otherwise they might suffer countless casualties that night.
Roar!
The closer they drove, the clearer they heard it: that tremendous roar seemed capable of piercing the skies.
What Su Jin’s group feared, came to pass. As they quickly scaled the city wall to look outside, they saw below them a crowd of decomposing animals, their fur gone, revealing their zombified state!
And at that moment, another Man-eating Flower had been flattened by a zombie tiger...
"Ahh!! Those damn zombie animals, they’ve destroyed the Man-eating Flowers of me, Su Jin the boss!!!"
An angry voice came through, Su Jin turned her head curiously, and sure enough, it was the boy from the Wood Element Counterattack Squad she had seen before.
"It’s okay, I still have many seeds of the Man-eating Flower"
The young man was startled by Su Jin’s sudden interjection. Had he really not noticed that Su Jin, the big shot, was standing right next to him?
"Su, Su Jin Big Shot, are you saying it doesn’t matter if the Man-eating Flower is damaged?"
The boy asked excitedly.
"It’s fine, it won’t affect me much,"
Su Jin explained.
"Phew, that’s good, that’s good, I was worried it might affect your cultivation or something..."
The boy said, scratching his head sheepishly.
"..."
Cultivation? Did this guy really think she was in the business of immortal cultivation? Su Jin found it a bit funny.
However, the situation under the city walls soon left little mood for chatting, as the zombie animals seemed to have gone berserk, one by one crazily crashing into the city walls! They almost seemed intent on knocking down the wall.
The metallic fences inside had already been smashed to smithereens, and each of the mutant animals was over two meters high. The base had already ordered all the Guard Squad Members outside to return within the city.
Although they wanted to fight those creatures, the disparity in strength was still too great at the moment.
Suddenly, a Zombie Leopard arched its back and crouched down on the ground; it looked like it was about to pounce in the direction of the base walls?!
"Everyone, get out of the way, quick! Just in case that thing jumps up here!"
Someone shouted.
The snipers in the middle of the city wall kept firing, but since the zombie animals had thick skin and tough skulls, bullets had difficulty penetrating their skulls.
"My lord, I’ve never seen such a big animal before,"
As soon as someone finished speaking, the Zombie Leopard leaped toward the people on top of the city wall!
Boom!
A clump of red and black Special Ability Fire was hurled right at the Zombie Leopard’s head!
Because the city wall was too high, the Zombie Leopard failed to leap onto it, and instead got hit by a clump of Lu Hao’s Special Ability Fire, which made it yowl even louder.
Quite a few people even covered their ears because at this moment, the noise outside the walls was truly like a demon screech, without a second of silence.
Clearly, the cannons were no use, the zombie animals were not brainless, and they would jump away to dodge as soon as they saw danger approaching.
"Should we let that mecha have a try?"
Li Haochu suggested; he really had no other ideas.
"I’m afraid not, mecha gunfire is a straight shot, and these dodging animals will evade it in no time,"
Wrapped in a blanket, Lian Ze made his way to the top of the wall at some point.
However, his eyes showed no sign of an anxious mood; it was his first time seeing a giant mutant animal! Indeed, staying in S city was the right choice.
"If it really comes down to it, just let them be outside for now, we’ll leave them be temporarily,"
Liang Jiuhui said, furrowing his brow.
The mutant animals outside weren’t just one or two—with even a thousand-member team going out, it probably wouldn’t be enough to withstand a stampede by these creatures.
Just then, Su Jin approached a group of people in the middle and asked, "What do you all think?"
"On that Zombie Cat, there is a High-Level Mutated Zombie" 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Trying to get a better look at the bottom, Lian Jiyue held Mao Qiqi at her side. At that moment, Mao Qiqi pointed to a Zombie Cat emitting a piercing meow below and spoke.
Glancing outside, Su Jin couldn’t see clearly due to the distance, but truly, was there a Mental Element Mutated Zombie there?
