Chapter 549: Chapter 549 The End of the Zombie Tide
Cheers erupted from atop the city wall.
All the zombie animals had been dealt with!
Wei Junhao and Han Yue also arrived at the top of the city wall in the first instance and witnessed the entire process.
"This Heart Talk Team really lives up to its SS rating, absolutely amazing,"
Wei Junhao somewhat regretted not having recorded that scene; his uncle sure had good taste!
"It’s just a pity it’s not our team from City B,"
Han Yue said regretfully.
Wei Junhao glanced at Han Yue beside him; he probably meant it was a pity it wasn’t his Han family’s team!
"What does it matter where they’re from? They’re all strong teams from Huaxia, as long as they can kill zombies. Brother Han, why fuss over these details,"
Wei Junhao said with a smile.
Han Yue huffed and said no more.
As six giant plants moved towards the city gate, hordes of zombies gathered at the feet of the giant plants, attempting to hinder their progress.
Su Jin saw this, and remembering that Nie Qing was riding a giant cactus that had not yet been tried out, commanded the giant cactus to attack those zombies.
Puff, puff, puff!
The giant cactus slowly extended its two "palms," and along with it, a dense array of cactus spines shot at the approaching zombies. Li Haochu and others came out to support and witnessed this scene.
Loads of zombies fell in front of the six plants, some shot in the head by the cactus while several man-eating flowers occasionally lowered their heads to take a bite.
"Xiao Cui, we’re tired, let’s go back first, and we’ll feed you more when we get the chance,"
Su Jin communicated reluctantly with Xiao Cui. After all, it had been eating zombies for more than ten days now; how could it never get enough?
Burp~
The man-eating flower where Su Jin stood let out a loud but unpleasantly scented burp...
"Oh my God,"
Nie Qing couldn’t help but fan the air, trying to disperse the smell that drifted with the wind.
Seeing the approaching guard squad members and the following special ability users, Su Jin also withdrew her wood element ability.
Once everyone reached a safe area, the man-eating flower willingly shrank to a size where everyone could jump off its leaves.
Mao Qiqi had already fallen asleep in Lian Jiyue’s arms, but she breathed evenly, and her complexion seemed much better. The family speculated she was just tired.
Lian Jiyue held her steadily, ensuring she endured as little jostling as possible.
A gust of wind came sweeping through, and Zhang Chuyang excitedly ran up to Su Jin saying, "Su Jin, you guys are too incredible! I thought I was dreaming!"
He and Wang Zhu had never seen such a large-scale event. The previous zombie tide had involved everyone from the base, so he had been too busy to "confess" his admiration for the Heart Talk Team. It was only after seeing the battle of plants versus zombie animals today that he couldn’t resist coming over.
"Just so-so,"
Su Jin replied with a smile.
"Chuyang, Su Jin and the rest need to go back and rest; don’t keep them here any longer,"
Wang Zhu came over to intervene, knowing that the Heart Talk Team had been fighting from dusk till dawn and must be exhausted. It was better not to disturb them further.
"Right, right, Su Jin, you all hurry back and rest. I need to go out and kill some zombies too,"
Zhang Chuyang said as he ran off, seemingly afraid of holding up the group any longer.
"Let’s go; I am indeed very tired. Those zombie animal heads are really thick; my ice spikes were all broken,"
Lin Xiuyuan said listlessly, leaning on Lin Cheng’s shoulder as they walked forward. 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
"Son, don’t mind the exhaustion, think about our 500,000,"
Huang Yunxiang reminded by the side.
Previously, when Lu Hao told Liang Jiuhui that the higher the reward, the more certain they could be, he wasn’t joking. Knowing that every time they thought about those 500,000 crystal cores while killing those zombie animals, they felt a surge of strength fill their bodies.
Lu Hao, holding Su Jin’s hand, was walking ahead but noticed two figures standing by the roadside, seemingly waiting for them.
Looking at the person wrapped in a quilt, Su Jin also recognized him. Was that Lian Ze?
Lian Jiyue also saw Lian Ze and Moli. When he intended to ignore them and continue walking, he heard Lian Ze say beside him, "If you feel any discomfort in your body, you can come to me."
Carrying Mao Qiqi, Lian Jiyue paused for a moment before continuing forward.
Discomfort, huh...
...
After the Heart Talk Team left, the arriving guard squad and special ability users were particularly active in killing the remaining zombies. The inner fences had been destroyed, but fortunately, there weren’t many zombies left, especially after they were attacked twice by Su Jin’s plants.
Almost all the people from the entire base had mobilized, even Liang Jiuhui joined the battlefield.
Xu Shi and Guan Hong still guarded by Liang Jiuhui’s sides, while Rong Yuan protected Li Haochu. Among the remaining zombies, there were no high-level mutated zombies, mostly ordinary zombies.
"Hey, killing these zombies is thrilling, just like playing 3D games back in the day,"
"Everyone still be careful not to get scratched or bitten,"
Liang Jiuhui, while speaking, smashed a few zombies with a thunder ball, directly exploding their heads with his thunder element ability.
The more critical the moment, the more cautious one must be, otherwise, it would truly be regrettable.
The area that Rong Yuan covered was littered with corpses, and Liang Jiuhui couldn’t help but take another look at this young man. Li Haochu’s judgment wasn’t wrong; the kid’s accurate and ruthless performance in killing zombies was indeed one in a hundred.
The most important thing was his youth. Despite his tragic background, he didn’t show any signs of malevolence, even flawlessly protecting Li Haochu. Perhaps, he could be well nurtured.
...
Two days before the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the zombie tide in S city was finally completely eradicated.
Not retreated, but annihilated without a single one left by the survivors of S city base.
"That’s amazing,"
Xing Taining, covered in dark blood, exclaimed.
Nearly three million zombies!
"Yes, Captain Xing, last time during D city’s zombie tide, because everyone thought there were too many zombies, so towards the end, everyone hid, and we were trapped for nearly a month waiting for the zombie tide to subside,"
Wang Zhi recalled, having never imagined that a zombie tide could be entirely eradicated.
"If you don’t kill the zombies, won’t they just come back again?"
A person nearby asked, puzzled.
"Yes, it’s a pity nobody understood that back then; probably everyone was too scared,"
Xing Taining said self-mockingly, that zombie tide being his most failed command ever, without reinforcements or any support, better left unmentioned!
"Let’s go back, clean up, and get ready to receive our bonuses!"
Someone said cheerfully.
"The new year wasn’t celebrated properly, but we can now truly celebrate the fifteenth, just don’t know if the Heart Talk Store will have that many delicacies for sale,"
"They must have, the Heart Talk Store is always so supportive,"
The dirty survivors from S city walked into the base gate with relaxed smiles and hopeful anticipation of the future, chatting and laughing...
