Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Su Jin’s Consideration
"Tired?"
Lu Hao carried over a stool and walked to Su Jin’s side to ask with concern.
"Hmm, indeed, standing for so long has tired my feet; I’ll be fine sitting down. You guys continue,"
Su Jin also wanted to ask Lu Hao where he found such a comfortable chair, but now was not the time for idle chatter. Lin Xiuyuan’s Special Ability needed replenishment quickly.
What Lin Xiuyuan was doing was not just coating the city walls with a layer of ice; the ice below was also shaped into a slope, ensuring that zombies couldn’t climb up anymore in the areas covered by ice.
"Brother Lin, you’re amazing. I can’t do it anymore,"
Liu Bin said, leaning against the wall.
A Level Six Ice Element Ability this powerful? He was Level Four, so why did it feel like there was such a huge gap?
"My Special Ability was purely advanced by killing zombies. Don’t be surprised; I just laid a solid foundation,"
Lin Xiuyuan said while proudly accepting Su Jin’s Special Ability replenishment. This cheat was really useful.
The others didn’t doubt Lin Xiuyuan’s words at all. The wall on the right side of the city gate was completely sealed by ice thanks to Lin Xiuyuan; what they did was just a small part on the top.
"You kid, stop bragging too much,"
Huang Yunxiang rolled her eyes and said, this youngster’s old habits were showing again.
The night grew darker, but both inside and outside the E City base were bustling with noise. Outside, zombies were incessantly howling, and inside, survivors were bustling about.
After discovering the defensive capabilities of the Ice-Element Special Abilities, more and more Ice-Element Ability Users rushed over to join Lin Xiuyuan in sealing the city walls with ice, and the two-meter-high stone platform at the Man-eating Flower’s location was completed with the concerted efforts of the Earth Element Ability Users.
The stone platform was backed against the city gate, and Lian Jiyue added a row of metal railings around it using his Metal Element Ability to ensure the safety of the people inside.
"God! What are they going to do?"
Could it be that someone was going to stand on it to kill zombies?
Liu Shibiao, who had returned after resting for two hours or so, was surprised to see the stone platform below.
Although no zombies had climbed up yet, that was because there was nothing on top to attract them. But once someone stood on it, it would attract all of the surrounding zombies, wouldn’t it?!
"No, not necessarily. As long as the speed of killing zombies is faster than the speed of them climbing up, it should be okay,"
Cen Chu said from the side.
When the people looked towards the stone platform again, they saw Lian Jiyue had already grabbed a vine and leaped down to the very center of the platform!
"Xiao Yue’s jumping ability is still so good,"
Mao Qiqi said enviously. She also wanted to go down and kill zombies with Lian Jiyue, but he wouldn’t allow it, saying it was still too dangerous.
Following the vines down were Lu Hao, Lin Xiuyuan, and Su Xiangzhe and Nie Qing.
"Have they gone mad? What are they thinking!"
People looking at the few individuals below couldn’t understand; it was beyond dangerous.
"Let’s deal with the surrounding zombies first,"
Lu Hao said to Nie Qing.
"You got it, quick, my apprentice,"
Nie Qing said as he looked at the swarm of zombies climbing onto the platform, feeling that one swipe of his fan would have an awesome effect.
The Man-eating Flowers had been moved by Su Jin to the side of the city wall, where at intervals, a Man-eating Flower was devouring zombies. Coupled with the Ice Element reinforcement of the city wall, there were absolutely no problems now.
Lu Hao didn’t hesitate and exerted his full strength to release his Fire Element Ability around the platform.
The flames around the platform suddenly spread to the left, right, and front. Nie Qing immediately leapt up and vigorously fanned with the Mysterious Fire Fan. In an instant, a vast sea of fire formed in front of and on both sides of the platform, countless zombies wailing and silencing within the inferno...
"Hahaha, this is truly exhilarating,"
Although Nie Qing was just using the Mysterious Fire Fan, he was also using his Wind Element Ability to control the direction of the fire’s spread, ensuring that the platform wouldn’t be accidentally hit by the flames.
Layer upon layer of zombies surged up again, treading on the ground full of ashes. Lu Hao still had plenty of Fire Element Ability left, so the two of them coordinated, with Su Xiangzhe and Lian Jiyue providing cover. The battle on the platform captured the attention of everyone above the city wall.
"What is that? Did they use gasoline? Why does the fire spread so quickly?"
"Black and red fire, this is my first time seeing it."
"What in the world is going on?"
"That attack must have killed five or six hundred zombies, right? So impressive!"
Seeing everyone’s curiosity piqued, Su Jin stood up and said to the crowd, "As you can see, we are in dire need of Fire Element Ability Users right now. If any Fire Element Ability Users are willing to go down there, we will do our utmost to ensure their safety. Also, this is only open to Level Five and above Fire Element Ability Users."
The Mysterious Fire Fan grows stronger with stronger fires; if the ability fire is too weak, it won’t achieve a very good effect, and they would also have to take extra care to protect the user, hence her addition of the last sentence.
Upon hearing Su Jin’s words, everyone was at first hesitant, but then they heard the clause about only Level Five and above Fire Element Ability Users being eligible, and disappointment showed on the faces of those below Level Five. Suddenly those with Level Five Abilities and above felt an inexplicable sense of honor.
They were Level Five; if not them, who else would step up?!
"I’ll go down!"
"I want to sign up!"
"I’m in as well!"
Huang Yunxiang took down the names of these volunteers and their abilities according to Su Jin’s request. Although everyone was not sure why they had to register their names, since there were not many Level Five Fire Element Ability Users to begin with, no one questioned it.
"I’ll send you down in groups of three, just sit on the vine and there won’t be any danger,"
Su Jin said with a smile to the first three people.
Once Lian Jiyue and Su Xiangzhe teamed up to deal with a Level Seven Fire Element Zombie, Su Jin sent the first three down on the vine.
Yuan Le sat on the vine, still somewhat apprehensive, holding on tightly, but the vine was very steady and even lowered them smoothly. When the three of them clearly saw what the Wind Element Ability User was holding, they were completely baffled.
A small fan could fan out the Special Ability Fire with such great power?
"Just release your abilities; this is no ordinary fan, I guarantee you’ll be overjoyed,"
Nie Qing didn’t explain much, simply flying into the air and speaking to the three who had taken positions below.
With quite a few High-Level Mutated Zombies leaping up, Lu Hao had to deal with those, so it was only Nie Qing and these Fire Element Ability Users who had to work together now.
"Su Jin, I’m curious; why did you take down their names?"
Lian Zongren asked Su Jin during a lull in the action.
"Well, it’s just preparing for a rainy day. You all have repelled the Zombie Tide this time and will destroy the institute’s authority. I suppose you can’t come out unscathed, can you?"
Su Jin explained with a smile.
By then, Base E will need rebuilding, and she didn’t believe that the father and son, after doing so much, would abandon Base E and leave. If it really came to that point, weren’t these people, willing to contribute to the base, the first choice for recruitment?
