Chapter 698: Chapter 698 Rescue
The people on the stone platform were fighting fiercely, and Su Jin on the city wall was performing just as admirably.
She chose the locations where the zombies were thickest to attack, her vines shot out from the top of the wall, each striking straight into the masses of zombies below, with dozens of zombies dangling from each of the dozen or so vines, and each one piercing directly into the zombies’ skulls.
These long vines greatly consumed her wood element ability, but she was desperate for it.
After repeating such attacks dozens of times, Su Jin finally looked toward other areas.
Whoosh!
Around the stone platform where zombies were most concentrated, wooden spikes suddenly shot up from the ground, immediately alleviating the pressure on the power element ability user.
The special ability users on the platform also fought with great enjoyment as Lian Jiyue and his friends didn’t just slay zombies—in the field, they were timely in saving special ability users who encountered danger.
"Thank you,"
Zhang Cheng said to Su Xiangzhe, just now, had it not been for Su Xiangzhe’s thunder element ability, he almost got stabbed by a level six metal element series zombie.
"No need for thanks, be careful,"
Su Xiangzhe nodded, continuing to cooperate with everyone in killing zombies.
Feeling the special ability within her, Su Jin stimulated the growth of a patch of vine plants in an area densely packed with zombies below.
Those vine plants were scattered among the zombie hordes. Although they attacked very slowly, they were able to attack continuously. As soon as they grabbed a zombie nearby, they could pull it onto the vine to strangle it.
"Heaven has eyes, our base is saved!"
A middle-aged man came up and said as he looked at the scene below.
"Old Cai, weren’t you going off to find a place to kill yourself? What, couldn’t find one?"
A woman nearby asked jokingly.
"Cough cough, didn’t I see hope, stop teasing me, I’m going back to killing zombies,"
Feeling awkward about his previous behavior being exposed, the man was just one among many who had contemplated suicide earlier. He had hurried back upon hearing people talk about the current situation in the base.
"Su Jin, do you remember me?"
Zhuozhuo finally mustered the courage to approach Su Jin.
"How could I forget, Miss Zhuozhuo, you..."
Surprised, Su Jin looked at Zhuozhuo’s now flattened belly.
"Don’t worry, the baby was safely born a few days ago, and is now back at the base,"
Although it was night, Su Jin could still see by the light that Zhuozhuo’s face was pale as paper.
"If it was just a few days ago, you should be resting now. Go back,"
Su Jin said concernedly, as a fellow woman and mother, she felt some sympathy for Zhuozhuo’s situation.
"Yes, I’m about to go back to breastfeed. I couldn’t resist coming over to greet you, it’s thanks to you all that our team has managed to hold on until now,"
Zhuozhuo sincerely said that if it hadn’t been for Su Jin reminding her of her pregnancy, and giving them food and a basket of eggs, she might not have been able to successfully give birth to the baby.
"That’s what you deserve,"
Su Jin said with a smile. If it had not been for Cen Chu and Zhuozhuo’s help at that time, their mission would not have been able to be completed so smoothly.
Zhuozhuo also smiled, chatted with Su Jin for a bit more, and then said goodbye to her.
It felt good that Su Jin still remembered her; they were all so formidable. If they could successfully repel this zombie tide, it seemed that it would be Su Jin and her group who would have saved her life again.
Lu Hao and Lian Jiyue fought on the battlefield for three to four hours before returning, drenched in sweat. Actually, Lu Hao felt that he could hold on for a while longer, but Su Xiangzhe and Nie Qing seemed very tired, so they simply returned.
Most of the high-level zombies had been dealt with. To ensure the safety of the others, Lian Jiyue had everyone on the stone platform return, leaving only a platform full of zombie corpses.
"Why not continue killing? I was about to join the fight,"
Liu Shibiao, who had fully recovered his Special Ability, asked Lian Jiyue anxiously.
"We’re all tired. We need to rest now. Without the Mysterious Fire Fan’s coordination, it’s better not to take the risk. Let’s continue to attack from the city walls,"
Lian Jiyue said, wiping his face with a wet towel handed to him by Lian Zongren, utterly exhausted.
Hearing what Lian Jiyue said, everyone thought it made sense. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
The reason those people could focus on killing zombies on the stone platform was because of that fan’s coordination with the Fire Element Ability User. The flames incinerated the surrounding zombies trying to climb up. Without the fan, like now, the stone platform was already crowded with zombies that had climbed up following the scent.
Lu Hao and the others were somewhat surprised to see that none of these people demanded to keep the Mysterious Fire Fan for their use, unlike back at the S City base, where many had their eyes on the fan.
Actually, it wasn’t that everyone in this base was of pure intentions, but because the impact that Lu Hao and Su Jin had on them was greater.
Mutated plants that could devour zombies, the powerful Wood element ability, the act of encasing the entire base walls in ice, and the ability to instantly kill a high-level zombie in a matter of minutes were all not inferior to the effect of the Mysterious Fire Fan.
Now, these people amazed the survivors in the base, as if they were saviors.
The scene of them arriving at the base by riding mutated plants over the sea of zombies left everyone present in shock for a long time, and for the foreseeable future, that scene would remain etched in the minds of those who had witnessed it...
Perhaps, in this apocalypse filled with suffering and despair, the appearance of these few people also allowed them to see hope and warmth.
Perhaps the term ’Savior’ truly exists, and a real Savior not only saves lives but also rescues despairing hearts...
...
Inside the Wood Spirit Space, the family, utterly exhausted, still struggled to take a bath first, or else even Local Tyrant Gold and Little Wu and Little Liu would not want to approach them because of their smell.
"Xiao Jin, hurry up and eat, then go rest!"
Lin Tianhui pretended to be angry. She knew something must have happened when she entered the space in the evening and found the family was not there. However, she never imagined that they had encountered the zombie tide in E City—and even at the back of it!
Getting through the zombie tide was one thing, but Su Jin was still not coming in to rest so late. If it hadn’t been impossible to reach where the family was, she would have gone out and forcibly pulled Su Jin in.
"Mom, I didn’t leave the space until after five in the afternoon, I was sleeping in the space before then,"
Su Jin said a bit guiltily, as Lin Tianhui’s nagging drove away her sense of achievement...
