138: Chapter 138 A Heavy Blow
A burst of screams instantly erupted within the Large Dormitory.
The zombies were incredibly fast; in a short while, everyone in the Large Dormitory who hadn't managed to escape had already perished in the zombies' maws.
Simultaneously, Huo Sixian, Ye Qingqing, and their group broke through the zombie encirclement and reached the base's main gate.
When Huo Sixian saw the skeletons lying haphazardly at the base's main gate, he felt a bitter pang in his heart.
He even saw some with their arms draped over each other's shoulders... what had happened here was clear at a glance.
Ye Qingqing was also deeply moved by the sight.
In her previous life, the people she admired most were the Soldiers.
No matter the environment, Soldiers were always the first to rush out to rescue trapped survivors.
Moreover, even if they ran out of food themselves, they would never forcibly seize food from survivors.
Even though they could—they had weapons and manpower.
But they wouldn't.
They would only silently sacrifice themselves.
Even when disaster struck, they were the first to rush to the front lines.
Ye Qingqing truly admired these people from the bottom of her heart.
Therefore, seeing the wall of corpses at the gate made Ye Qingqing feel very distressed as well.
"Quick, get inside," Ye Qingqing urged.
At this moment, smoke was rising from various corners within the base.
Kong Ziyi stepped on the gas and charged directly toward the zombies ahead.
However, they could no longer drive as they moved further into the base.
Because there were survivors all around.
Huo Sixian and the others had no choice but to get out of the car.
As they stepped out, an explosion rang in everyone's ears.
"Help!"
"Someone, please save us!"
The cries for help from the survivors in the base rang out simultaneously with the sound of the explosion.
Huo Sixian didn't stay idle either.
He rapidly swung his Superpower spheres, smashing them directly at the zombies.
Ah Huang stayed with Huo Sixian, fireballs never ceasing to erupt from his mouth as he took no rest.
As for Ye Qingqing, Lu Huan, and the others, they had no Superpowers.
But Ye Qingqing had her Space.
She had plenty of bullets and weapons.
On the way, whenever they encountered a Soldier who was still alive, Ye Qingqing would hand them a weapon.
Having something in hand was always better than nothing.
As for the ordinary people, Ye Qingqing didn't dare give them anything.
Even though it was an emergency, in the Post-Apocalyptic World, human nature is the one thing that should never be tested.
Ye Qingqing simply didn't dare take that risk.
Smoke continued to rise throughout the base.
However, an even more terrifying thing was that Ye Qingqing discovered the entire base's power station had been bombed.
Because it was currently night.
The entire base should have been brightly lit.
But at this moment, all the lights in the base suddenly went out.
In this kind of weather, if the power went out, then once the sun rose...
The consequences would be unimaginable.
"Oh no, you guys hold them off first, I'm going to take a look."
Ye Qingqing finished speaking and brought out a pile of weapons.
As for her, she headed to the power station to see what the situation was, or to see if it could still be repaired.
If it could be repaired, only Ye Qingqing's Space contained the necessary supplies.
When Ye Qingqing arrived at the power station, the entire power circuit had been incinerated.
The fire was immense, and there were several death-defying zombies nearby.
When they saw Ye Qingqing arrive, they immediately lunged at her.
But Ye Qingqing was no pushover; seeing the zombies lunge, she immediately drew her long blade, taking down each Weakling with a single strike.
Near the great fire, the stench from these zombies was even more foul.
Some zombies were even on fire themselves.
A whole bunch of roasted zombies.
The smell was pungent enough to make one want to vomit.
Ye Qingqing did her best to suppress her nausea, took a fire extinguisher from her Space, and began to put out the fire at the power station's source.
But the fire was too large; relying on her alone was completely insufficient.
Furthermore, there was so much electrical equipment here that a second explosion was highly likely.
Sure enough, while Ye Qingqing was busy fighting the fire, she suddenly heard a sizzling electrical sound.
Judging by the sound, it seemed like it was about to explode at any second.
Ye Qingqing didn't linger and immediately hid inside her Space.
As expected, the instant after Ye Qingqing hid in the Space, an explosion swept through her original location.
Inside the Space, Ye Qingqing gasped for breath.
It seemed tomorrow would be difficult for this base.
The power station was completely scrapped.
Meanwhile, Huo Sixian also noticed the second explosion at the power station.
He had seen Ye Qingqing heading toward the power station earlier.
Though he was worried, there were still many zombies in front of him that hadn't been cleared.
In the entire base right now, only Huo Sixian and Ah Huang had Superpowers.
Once the zombies entered the base, the virus spread very quickly.
Huo Sixian couldn't leave, and he didn't dare to.
Lu Huan and Kong Ziyi led the Soldiers around the base to eliminate straggling zombies.
They were also incredibly busy.
Ah Huang noticed Huo Sixian's abnormality.
Although Ah Huang was also worried about Ye Qingqing, he still nudged Huo Sixian with his head.
He signaled for Huo Sixian not to worry, that Ye Qingqing would be fine.
After all, she was Ye Qingqing.
Moreover, Ye Qingqing had such a cheating divine tool as her Space.
She would be safer than any of them no matter what.
As it turned out, this was indeed the case.
Ye Qingqing was currently looking for a Fire Suit in her Space.
After putting it on, she prepared to leave the Space.
Although there was still fire outside, wearing a Fire Suit and running away quickly shouldn't be a problem.
She still didn't know how Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan were doing.
She was extremely anxious.
Almost the instant she finished dressing, Ye Qingqing exited the Space.
The moment she stepped out, Ye Qingqing felt a wave of heat hit her face.
The temperature felt as if it were about to melt her whole body.
Ye Qingqing didn't stop; holding her breath to avoid inhaling too much carbon dioxide, she ran out of the fire in one go.
The power station couldn't be saved now.
They could only wait until the zombie tide was resolved before thinking of a solution.
And, at the same time, there was another problem.
Waiting for everyone in the base to face.
That was, the sun was about to come out.
After Ye Qingqing walked out of the fire, she immediately took off the Fire Suit.
Wearing the Fire Suit was both hot and stuffy.
Coupled with the scorching heat, it had long since made Ye Qingqing feel suffocated.
Ye Qingqing looked up at the sky, a look of solemnity appearing between her brows.
There were fewer and fewer zombies in the base.
More and more survivors were picking up weapons to fight the zombies.
Many of those still outside clearing zombies had seen the earlier scene of those Soldiers using their bodies to form a human wall.
Seeing that, each one was like they'd been injected with chicken blood.
They picked up their weapons and delivered heavy blows to the zombies' heads.
