Chapter 147: Zombies Attacked The City
After enduring the cold winter, the ice and snow melted, and nature reawakened. The zombies also regained their former mobility and began to search for food in groups following the smell of blood and flesh.
As a result, the base where humans survived became the main target of zombies.
Xiling base ushered in the first wave of zombies in the first spring after the apocalypse.
Tens of thousands of zombies were like a dark cloud, rushing to surround the base from all directions.
The stench floated in the base, becoming stronger and stronger.
Ordinary people huddled in their homes and dared not say a word.
The army guarded the city walls with weapons, wiping out the ordinary zombies that kept approaching. The superhumans had to guard against the mutant zombies and mutant beasts that had also evolved superpowers.
Waves of zombies hit the city walls. The huge Xiling base was like a small boat on the sea at this moment, which could be swallowed up by the stinky waves at any time.
The corpses of zombies piled up outside the city walls, gradually forming a human staircase.
"Superhumans, clear the zombie corpses!" On the city wall, Shen Yang looked at the increasing pile of zombie corpses and shouted, "Be careful of the mutant beasts in the sky! Don't give them a chance to get close!"
Superhumans with earth-type abilities formed a ground structure outside the city walls to force the zombies away from the city walls.
"We can't go on like this, Captain! There are too many zombies, and we don't have enough manpower!"
"Tsk." He was originally going out to pick up Shen Bai and Jiang Ran and the others, but they encountered a zombie wave before they even went out. Shen Yang tugged at his collar irritably. "Where's A117?"
"At the north city wall—the team over there can't hold on any longer."
"Tell them to pay attention to clearing the dead zombies and don't let the zombies climb up the wall."
"Yes."
"Where are Shen Bai and the others?"
"We haven't found the whereabouts of the deputy captain yet."
Shen Yang frowned, thought for a while, and made a decision. "You go to the military command building to find Marshal Shen and tell him about the situation here. He knows what to do."
They didn't expect such a large-scale zombie wave to occur after the snow melted. Now most of the base's combat power was outside. If the base couldn't hold on, they could only mobilize the forces under the Shen family.
"What did you say?" After receiving the report from his subordinates, Shen Lang's expression changed several times. "Zombie wave..."
"Marshal Shen, are we going to mobilize our superhuman team?" The confidant stood beside him and frowned after hearing the report. "I'm worried that Captain Shen and his men can't hold on."
"If we mobilize Team Z now, won't all our strength be exposed?" Shen Lang stood up and paced back and forth in the office anxiously. "There are so many superhumans and military personnel outside. If they can't even resist a group of zombies, what's the point of keeping them in the base?"
"But..." The confidant looked through the window and saw the flock of mutant birds hovering over the base, hesitating. "I'm worried about Captain Shen Yang..."
"You go and ask A117 to stay with Yang and protect him!"
"But..."
"Go now!"
"Yes!"
……
Under the city, the zombies were still relentless in attacking the city walls.
More and more superhumans overused their superpowers and lost consciousness after their bodies couldn't bear the load.
Some soldiers in the army were attacked by the birds with superpowers. Although they were immediately carried away for treatment, it was obviously impossible to prevent ordinary people from becoming zombies.
There were more and more zombies under the city wall. However, the defensive forces on the city walls were dwindling.
Shen Yang avoided the mutant bird that attacked from the air, shot it in the head, and kicked the fallen corpse off the city wall.
What was going on? Why hadn't the reinforcements arrived yet?
Could it be that... at this point, Grandpa was still not going to arrange for Team Z to provide aid?
Thinking of this possibility, the man cursed.
The decrease in the number of superhumans made it impossible to clear the zombie corpses in time. Soon, some zombies used their companions' bodies to find an opportunity to jump onto the city wall.
Sharp vines swept over, cutting the zombies that jumped onto the city wall into two sections and throwing them to the ground.
The vines wandered among the zombies, overturning the climbing zombies and the human flesh stairs piled up by the zombies.
Shen Yang was very familiar with this attack method. With an ominous premonition in his heart, he turned around.
Sure enough, Shen Youyou was standing a few steps away, breaking the neck of a mutant bird that attacked her and throwing it on the ground.
"A117?!" Shen Yang blurted out, "Why are you here?!"
If she was here, who was guarding the north wall?
"Marshal Shen asked me to protect you." The girl walked up to him and replied with a straight face, "I won't let them hurt you."
The emotionless response almost made him kick her off the wall.
However, knowing that what she did wasn’t her own decision, Shen Yang took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"Follow me, let's go to the north wall."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cry of surprise came from the back of the base.
"Zombies! Zombies are coming up!"
Shen Yang's expression changed slightly, and he grabbed Shen Youyou's collar. "Let's go over."
Shen Youyou was still expressionless. "Oh."
……
Having lost the main battle, the north wall was soon breached by the zombies.
The zombies and mutant beasts jumped down from the wall and ran rampant in the base.
The soldiers guarding the wall prevented more zombies from climbing in, while arranging people to deal with the zombies that had already climbed in. They were in a panic for a while.
"What are you yelling about?!" Gu Yunqing, who also heard the commotion and rushed from the south gate, had a cold face. He used the wind blade to cut the ladder piled up by the zombies and said sternly, "Everyone! Don't take a step back! Reinforcements will be here soon! Whoever dares to retreat, I’ll kill them!"
With a high-level superhuman in charge, the panicked team members regained their composure. "Yes!"
"Ahhhhh!" Screams came one after another in the base.
There were many ordinary people living under the north wall. At this moment, being attacked by zombies, most people could only cover their heads and tremble.
Shen Yang, who had just arrived, saw the direction where the screams came from, raised his hand and threw Shen Youyou out. "A117, go save people."
Shen Youyou landed lightly on the ground, not moving. "My order is to protect you."
"I’m your master." Shen Yang was annoyed with her and had a bad attitude. "Are you going to disobey my order?"
Shen Youyou said calmly, "I got it, Master."
She turned and ran towards the residential area.
The small figure soon disappeared among the tall buildings.
……
Shen Bai didn’t expect the base to be surrounded by zombies. He stood on a steep slope a hundred meters away, watching the situation of the base with a telescope.
"Deputy Captain, we..."
"Most of the zombies are in the north of the base." After just a quick look, Shen Bai knew what he had to do. "Zhong Qian, you take everyone in the second team to the north to support the city defense team. Everyone else, follow me to block off the three main roads into the base."
"Yes!"
"Well..." Zhong Qian looked around and asked Shen Bai in a low voice, "Deputy Captain, Professor Si and Miss Jiang..."
"Don't worry about them," Shen Bai interrupted his question. "Si Xu will protect Ranran. We just need to do our own thing."
