It was still two strikes, each dealing twenty thousand HP, but this Level 3, Lord Zombie had fifty thousand HP, so Wang Tao's Continuous Slash couldn't kill it instantly.
However, Wang Tao's longsword had a Bleeding attribute. The damage from the bleed was roughly a tenth of the damage of each strike, causing the Level 3, Lord Zombie to instantly lose over four thousand HP! In the blink of an eye, it was down to a little over three thousand HP.
But this Bleeding effect wasn't a one-time occurrence, it lasted for two seconds, losing about a tenth of its HP every second!
Consequently, two more damage numbers popped up above the head of the Level 3, Lord Zombie.

HP depleted!
"This sword is so satisfying!"
Before, when Wang Tao was with Jade Lotus and the others, farming HP, he didn't use this longsword out of fear of killing the zombies in one hit. Now, this was the first time he used it.
This Bleeding effect lasted for two seconds with each strike, the initial bleed damage occurring simultaneously with the strike, resulting in three bleed events in two seconds. And since each bleeding damage was roughly a tenth of the strike's damage, that amounted to an extra 30% damage per strike!
Wang Tao charged towards the other zombies once more.
Protected by the Entangling Roots, Wang Tao didn't need to care about attacks from zombies below Level 4, he just cut his way through!
It didn't take long for Wang Tao to take care of the remaining Level 3, Lord Zombies. After dealing with some Level 3, Elite Zombies, he then returned to the base.
"Wang Tao!"
Jade Lotus and a few others were waiting for him on top of the wall.
As Wang Tao approached, Jade Lotus, without lingering, hastily handed him the binoculars.
Wang Tao looked in the direction she indicated.
"Damn!"
The thrilling sensation of instantly killing those Level 3, Lords vanished instantly.
In the direction Jade Lotus pointed, a vast number of zombies were approaching!
"This number... It must be hundreds of thousands, even millions..."
Jade Lotus' lips trembled as she spoke.
There was no way to count the exact number of zombies because the horde was truly endless.
Previously, during the zombie horde event, there were at least hundreds of thousands of zombies surrounding Zijin Base! Today, when Wang Tao took them out to hunt zombies, more arrived near the base! And now, there was a continuous stream of them heading this way!
Especially since many Mad Demon Zombies were seen dashing towards them. Mad Demons can climb walls!
Although the outer wall of the base wasn't short, under normal circumstances, Mad Demon Zombies couldn't climb into it, but what if the base of the wall was filled with zombies... They really weren't giving their base any chance to survive!
Jade Lotus instinctively grabbed Wang Tao's hand.
"Wang Tao... what do we do..."
"Don't panic."
Wang Tao's brain began to operate frantically.
Zijin Base had the protection of high walls, so it would definitely be able to withstand the zombies for a short time.
But the premise was that they had to clear the Mad Demons, Elites, Lords, and such. Mad Demon Zombies could climb walls, and Elite and Lord Zombies might have some unforeseen Special Abilities, so these had to be dealt with first.
As for the Ordinary Zombies, they posed no threat for the time being, but the most significant threat might come from them later on. There were just too many of them! Wang Tao wouldn't be surprised if they could eventually knock down the high walls, especially since the base was only half-finished, with many parts of the wall being reinforcements and nowhere near as firm as originally designed.
Of course, there was also the greatest hidden threat: the Four-level zombies!
Wang Tao hadn't yet seen any Four-level zombies, but with so many zombies around, he wouldn't believe for a second there were none among them.
And the strength of the Four-level zombies varied; if it was a Flame Monster, Wild Boar Monster, or a Black Skin Night Demon, Wang Tao could handle them. But if a Four-level zombie appeared that he couldn't handle...
"We can't hold them off. Be prepared to retreat at any moment."
Wang Tao spoke with a calm expression.
"...Is there really no other way?"
Jade Lotus' face turned pale.
There were twenty thousand people in Zijin Base!
Wang Tao did not respond.

Zombies were endless, and there was no escape from Zijin Base. Even if they could hold on, the base would eventually be overrun by zombies.
Unless the number of zombies was fixed and they could be killed off slowly, or Wang Tao had another way out, leading everyone to break out of the base and fight to the death.
Otherwise, staying here would be a slow death — no, given the current scale of the zombie horde, it might be a swift one!
Jade Lotus clearly understood this too, but as the leader of the base, she didn't want to retreat without a fight. She wanted to protect these people, the children who had been born only days ago, but... she was helplessly powerless.
Tears welled up in Jade Lotus' eyes, while Ying Feng sighed and started eyeing Jade Lotus unintentionally.
She knew Jade Lotus was a person with strong convictions but also a bit soft-hearted. There was a possibility that Jade Lotus would choose to stay and perish with the base...
Ying Feng didn't want Jade Lotus to die, and she knew Wang Tao didn't either. If Wang Tao truly wanted to take Jade Lotus away and she disagreed, Ying Feng would help knock Jade Lotus out! For Jade Lotus' safety, she was willing to be the villain.
Looking at Jade Lotus' somewhat desperate yet stubborn face, Wang Tao thought for a moment and then said.
"You guys start organizing people to kill the zombies. I'll contact the military base."
Wang Tao had never thought of himself as particularly clever or strong enough to be a savior. But if there really was a chance, he definitely wouldn't want to give up!
Wang Tao soon got in touch with the military base, prepared to tell Wei Zhenguo and the others about the situation here to see if they had any ideas.
But before he could speak, Han Rui's excited voice rang out first.
"Wang Tao! We've made contact with the base to the west! It's a super-large Survivor Base!"
