Free Web NovelChapter 574: Chapter 574: Zhang Chen Takes Action
There was no other choice. Even the ordinary superpower users, who were afraid of death, used their maximum abilities to attack the crowded group of zombies outside.
Without reservation.
"Boom――"
"Roar――"
After a loud noise, the indestructible door of the safety base, reinforced many times by the gold ability users, suddenly collapsed.
The zombie horde surged into the safety base like a black torrent.
Fortunately, Song Hongfei led a group of superpower users to resist at the front. His brain, with a spiritual ability, was pushed to its limits, barely causing the black torrent to pause for a moment.
That brief moment was enough for the squad members of the superpower users to attack the zombies at the forefront.
The zombies fell in droves, arms spraying black blood flying everywhere, quickly piling up into a small hill at the gate.
The zombies behind were blocked by the corpses of the zombies in front, unable to break through for the time being.
This gave everyone the opportunity to attack them.
The Bai Family also joined in, launching colorful energy from the roof of the bus into the zombie horde.
The zombies’ howls were endless, the boundless howling almost tearing through the survivors’ eardrums.
The whole world seemed to be left with only the sound of zombie howls, making the survivors trapped inside the base feel like they were the last humans.
"Be careful, there are no high-rank zombies here."
Leng Yebai quickly glanced at the zombie horde within sight. They were all zombies with rotting flesh on their faces, eyes dull, features grim, bodies grotesquely twisted and not agile.
The high-rank zombie controlling the horde wasn’t among them, not even a second-rank zombie was present.
Logically, a zombie capable of controlling so many zombies should be able to control the relatively more agile high-rank zombies in considerable numbers.
He scanned around, but they were all ordinary zombies, acting like dispensable pawns, dying wave after wave, yet the entity commanding the horde showed no reaction.
Not pitying its own forces at all.
Unlike other high-rank zombies, who would rationally keep their subordinates alive longer.
A commander without soldiers cannot hold out for long.
"Where did the Base Commander go?"
Bai Anhai, wielding fire in his left hand and lightning in his right, kept throwing them towards the zombie horde, attacking vigorously, but gradually feeling overwhelmed.
He somewhat missed the time when the zombie dog pack attacked the base; if the Base Commander were here, things would be much easier.
"Zombies are everywhere; perhaps he’s dealing with other areas!"
Bai Zhengxuan, his face pale, unleashed a powerful attack, as the mutated climbing vine on his wrist went out to claim zombie heads by itself.
Even if Bai Zhengxuan didn’t look up at the zombie horde, the deafening howls made him a bit shaky in the legs.
"Ah! When will this end? It’s driving me crazy!"
Wang Yiyun glanced at the countless zombie corpses piled at the safety base gate, her face slightly contorted.
She wished to tidy them up and then cremate them cleanly!
The stress made her hair stand on end.
This damned occupational hazard of hers!
"Daughter-in-law, I understand you; I feel like my head is about to explode!"
Liu Jing vigorously rubbed her temples, wishing she could rush up with a scalpel to dissect the unidentifiable organs on the ground.
If this had been during her younger years, it would have been a significant workload, guaranteeing a bonus.
Conflicted, excited, regretful, unfortunate, grim.
A mix of emotions twisted their faces.
Anyone unaware might think this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were afraid of the sprawling zombie horde!
Bai Anhai and Bai Zhengxuan’s faces twitched slightly, not daring to speak to them.
The formidable wives!
Despite their banter, the Bai Family’s performance wasn’t hindered at all.
The superpowers launched from the bus rooftop were almost matching those of several safety base squads!
Everyone strived desperately to stop the zombie horde from entering the safety base. Once the zombie horde breached, the Yunhua Safety Base would cease to exist, and the survivors in the base wouldn’t even have the chance to become zombies.
"Did you go to find the Base Commander?"
Song Hongfei, with cold sweat on his forehead, nearly shouted while speaking to Song Ning.
The zombie howls were so loud that speaking without shouting made it impossible for the other person to hear.
"Several people went to find the Base Commander, but none returned."
Song Ning’s hands emitted needle-like threads of transparent water, each precisely piercing the zombies’ temples.
As a water and wood dual ability user, his talent seemed innate, showing impressive healing abilities and mastering water ability as a powerful attack skill.
"We can’t hold much longer here. If other gates aren’t especially critical, please bring the Base Commander here!"
Song Hongfei, overly fatigued, pinched his thigh hard, wishing he could just lie down and sleep with his eyes closed.
The zombie howls made him cautious even to blink, scared of falling asleep.
Sleeping would be doom!
"Alright, I’ll go now!"
Song Ning wiped the dusty sweat off his face, turning to run instantly.
"No need to find the Base Commander; I’ll hold the line here. He’s surely busy now; don’t disturb him."
Zhang Chen happened to come over, stopping Song Ning from seeking the Base Commander.
"Who are you...?"
Song Ning sized up the girl in front of him, looking only sixteen or seventeen, pausing slightly, appearing not to believe Zhang Chen could hold up.
Zhang Chen said nothing more, her face bearing a maturity beyond her years.
She was afraid, afraid that her presence in the safety base would lead to the death of everyone inside. She understood she was seen as a jinx.
She thought the recent lack of deaths was due to her fate changing after meeting the Base Commander, but now... why had she suddenly encountered a zombie tide!
Her slender fingers hovered slightly, fingertips rapidly emitting vast amounts of gray energy, quickly penetrating into the dense black zombie tide like dust.
Gray energy, a rare death ability, caused extremely negative reactions in conscious humans or zombies upon contact, likely leading to suicide.
These ordinary zombies, without any self-awareness, wouldn’t commit suicide but would freeze for a minute. After that minute, they’d regain control over their bodies.
This death energy could halt a zombie whale for a minute. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
After the minute passed, those non-suicidal would become even more frenzied.
However, it didn’t matter to the zombies, as they were already using all their strength to break through the safety base gates, attempting to devour the flesh and blood within reach.
Once the gray energy infiltrated the zombies’ bodies, they instantly froze, and the zombies behind kept pushing forward, trampling the dazed ones until their brains splattered.
The gray energy dispersed more and more, eventually turning into particles invisible to the naked eye.
The number of frozen zombies grew; centered around Zhang Chen, a radius of thirty meters saw zombies drop straight to the ground.
In an instant, everyone felt the entire world fall silent.
