Chapter 306: Chapter Three Hundred and Six Hope
Ye Rongxin had no special ability, but he had extremely accurate marksmanship.
In command at the city gate, whenever he saw a guard squad member or a special ability user in danger, he would back them up with a shot for support, and no one dared to underestimate him, for he had saved many lives, even in the unclear vision of the dark night, he always hit his target.
However, since Su Jin and the others joined the fight, he found that he no longer needed to keep watch by their side.
Not to mention the lethality of Su Jin’s vines, the cooperation between Lu Hao and Nie Qing had maximized the power of the fire element and the Mysterious Fire Fan.
Flames soared into the sky for a moment, and countless zombies perished in the sea of fire.
Liang Jiuhui felt a flicker of light on his eyelids.
...He opened his eyes and went outside, only to see the captivating battle below; the firelight in the dark night was particularly dazzling, even highlighting the ugly faces of the zombies, but it also brought a sense of hope.
“Brother, you should sleep a bit more, Ye Rongxin is watching below,”
Liang Jiuqing came over and said.
“No need, I’ve rested enough. I’ll go down and use my abilities a bit before resting again,”Seeing the fervent battle below, he couldn’t sit still any longer. A few hours of deep sleep had made him feel refreshed, so Liang Jiuqing could only watch helplessly as he went down again.
The battle continued, with the light of thunder mingling with the fire, illuminating S base as if it were broad daylight.
Inside the villa district, Jia Kaiji couldn’t sleep.
He looked at the dazzling light and felt as if something was stuck in his heart.
This zombie tide made the people in the base call for Liang Jiuhui even more. The survivors from the slums who had received porridge from him didn’t even acknowledge him now, which made him regret wasting so much rice.
“Father, aren’t you going to sleep?”
Jia Yue, at some point, had come up behind Jia Kaiji and asked.
“Yuer, what you said before was right, we just need to wait for our moment,”
Jia Kaiji said, looking out the window.
“Father, what do you mean?”
Jia Yue’s eyes were devoid of ripples. The moment, huh?
“What I mean is, I think our moment is about to arrive,”
Jia Kaiji said with narrowed eyes. He now had quite a few people under his command, although most of them had been recruited by Huo Qi, but that was enough.
“Yuer, go find Xia Ying for me again in the next few days,”
Jia Kaiji continued to whisper a few words in Jia Yue’s ear.
“Yes, Father,”
Jia Yue agreed, raising her head she seemed to catch a glimpse of the hem of a white dress flickering past on the second-floor staircase.
Jia Yue knew that Fang Jingfu had been eavesdropping on their conversations from the shadows recently, but she didn’t care about it at all, which only meant that her father hadn’t told Fang Jingfu everything.
However, if she knew the truth, she would probably be happy, after all, her father’s goal was to become the base leader of this base.
…
In the early morning battle, with not many onlookers, Su Jin and the others were even more excited as they fought, and the space-element ability users in the guard squad had to come over from time to time to clear the zombie corpses around them.
Liang Jiuhui also joined the fray; his and Su Xiangzhe’s Thunder Element Ability, in conjunction with Huang Yunxiang and Lin Tianzhen’s Water Element Ability, produced an effect that was simply too good.
However, the pitch-dark night and the noises at the entrance of the base attracted quite a number of high-level Mutated Zombies.
Su Jin faced off against a Level Five Earth Element Zombie. The moment it appeared, it attempted to trap Su Jin in a four-walled earth house, but unfortunately, the Wood Element overcame the Earth Element. Several thick vines burst forth from the ground, lunging straight for the vital points of the Earth Element Zombie!
Roar!
The Earth Element Zombie summoned a Rock Shield, blocking the vine’s attack, yet the shield shattered instantly under the vine’s swift assault.
It had to be said that Wood Elements fighting against Earth Elements was most convenient; any attack the Earth Element Zombie threw at her could be easily shattered in front of Su Jin. She even felt as if she was toyin with this Level Five Earth Element Zombie.
Perhaps realizing it stood no chance, the Earth Element Zombie suddenly turned and attacked Mao Qiqi!
A vine promptly wrapped around the neck of the Earth Element Zombie, dragging it forcefully back.
And Mao Qiqi, who had already sensed the danger coming her way, quickly dodged.
“Your opponent is me,”
As Su Jin spoke, the vine pierced into the back of the Earth Element Zombie’s head.
“Lin Xiuyuan, catch!”
After extracting the sizable Earth-Element Crystal Core, Su Jin tossed it to Lin Xiuyuan.
“This is too much, Su Jin, why is it always me?”
Lin Xiuyuan grumbled as he took the sticky Crystal Core to find Huang Yunxiang. He couldn’t understand why Su Jin had developed this habit; had it been a Level Five Ice-Element Crystal Core she tossed to him, maybe then… Ah!
On the first night of the Zombie Tide, Su Jin didn’t know how many zombies they had killed in total. The group fought for nearly three hours before they finally drove back to the villa.
So the next morning, when the survivors at the base stood on the city wall again, they found that the seemingly endless tide of zombies now had a visible boundary in the distance!
Although there were still countless zombies, at least it gave everyone hope and confidence.
Of course, this was also thanks to the diligent labor of those dozen or so plants. They had not taken even a moment of rest, and their diligent figures made everyone feel they seemed even more adorable.
Seeing the effects of the resistance against the Zombie Tide, everyone’s enthusiasm for killing zombies surged to unprecedented heights.
The edge of the wall was full of zombie corpses and waste discarded by the Space Element Ability Users. Eventually, fearing that zombies might climb up the heap, Li Haochu found a barrel of gasoline and poured it down below, burning all the remains and trash to ash.
The main force on the second day, apart from Su Jin and her companions, included those who had passed the new recruit assessment and took their turn on the field. Although they had only undergone a little over a week of training, their growth was evident to all.
Deng Shuwei even saw the team that led them from the Refuge to the base on the battlefield. So it turned out they were the well-known Heart Talk Team within the base.
“Don’t get distracted,”
Kang Ning used her Ability to block a Wind Blade from a Wind Element Mutated Zombie for Deng Shuwei.
Only then did Deng Shuwei realize she was on the battlefield, where life and death were decided in an instant.
“Thank you!”
Due to the difference in levels, it took both Deng Shuwei and Kang Ning to take down the Level Three Wind Element Zombie, but this already made them very happy, especially Deng Shuwei, since this was her first time facing a Mutated Zombie.
It was only when Liang Jiuhui and Li Haochu were resting in the tower on the city wall that they truly breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn’t know how long the battle would last, at least the base was no longer in utter chaos.
At that moment, a woman with her hands pockets walked into the tower. She wore a hat with the brim pulled down low, so Liang Jiuhui and Li Haochu couldn’t see her face. But she left a note behind and then turned and walked out.
Liang Jiuhui, puzzled, opened the note, and his expression turned serious in an instant. By the time he chased after her, the woman had vanished without a trace.
