138: Chapter 138 Showdown (Part 1)

This cry of "Kill" rang out like a funeral knell.

Beneath the sturdy city walls, tens of thousands of Level 4 Mutated Zombies suddenly let out a deafening roar that pierced through eardrums, making even an Ability User with Spiritual power like Qi Yin struggle to withstand it.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Although their actions of ramming the city wall looked chaotic, they were actually employing a rotation strategy; when one wave couldn't break through, they were replaced by the next.

Qi Yin felt that this was perhaps one of the reasons why Yanqi Mountain had focused so heavily on modifying his army.

Fortunately, the defenses of Xiyin Base had just been reinforced; otherwise, at the previous strength, it wouldn't have been able to withstand these successive, fierce impacts from the Level 4 Mutated Zombies.

"Whoa, look, they can even climb walls!"

The President widened his eyes. Below, groups of zombies with super-long nails were extremely agile, climbing up like geckos with speeds so fast that only afterimages could be seen.

It was unimaginable—had zombies really evolved to this extent now?

Lu Yanxiu smiled slyly, black oil already bubbling from the palm of his left hand.

"Hehe, watch this."

As he spoke, the oil droplets in his palm, initially just a few black specks, intensified and condensed into a stream of black liquid. Like rain, it poured down from the top of the city wall, staining the silver alloy wall into a blackened mess.

When the orderly climbing zombies came into contact with the oil, their claws instantly lost traction, and they fell one by one like dumplings into a pot. Their massive bodies crashed into their companions below, which actually reduced some of the pressure on Qi Yin and her team.

Lei Jun was so overwhelmed by the strong smell of gasoline that he couldn't open his eyes: "This move of yours is pretty disgusting."

Lu Yanxiu was unimpressed: "Disgusting or not, as long as it works, right? Hahaha."

With that plan failing, they moved to the next; the zombie army began using the most primitive method, rapidly expanding their limbs to frantically hammer at the reinforced city gates and walls. For a moment, a dull, thunderous roar spread throughout the entire base.

The entire city wall seemed to tremble slightly with the impacts, and Li Shi and Li Yun almost lost their footing.

This was the first time they had seen such a massive zombie horde since leaving Xianhe Mountain. It looked terrifying, and the sisters exchanged a glance, but—it was exciting, wasn't it?

They wondered if their Supernatural Abilities could help Sister Yin.

"If a tiger doesn't show its power, do you take me for a sick cat?" The President wanted to stroke his beard, then realized he seemed to have shaved it off that morning, so he could only cough twice and stroke his white hair instead.

"Attack!" The President ordered loudly. It was good that that turtle grandson Yanqi Mountain had come; he could take this opportunity to settle the score for when he had riddled the President's city walls with holes earlier.

In an instant, the troops on the city walls and the base square began to activate their weapons in an orderly fashion. One could see that the weapons, which had looked completely ordinary in Tian Zining's drone footage, had completely changed in their hands, each one displaying the luster of future technology.

Especially the super weapon "Stinger" that Qi Yin had just given the President; its explosive power was fierce.

A dense web of firepower blanketed the area, tearing the Level 4 Mutated Zombies hammering at the gate to shreds.

However, the defense of Level 4 Mutated Zombies far exceeded that of ordinary zombies. Unless their vital head area was hit, even if their limbs were severed, they could still continue to ram the wall with their remaining stumps.

This disgusted Qi Yin to no end. To truly finish off these filthy things, they still had to rely on Ability Users to step up.

A dark glint flashed in her eyes, and Qi Yin's cold voice rang out through the communicator like a command.

"Brother Yan Xiu, the gap on the left!"

"No problem, watch me." Lu Yanxiu roared, flipped over to sit on the battlement, and sprayed two scorching fire dragons from his hands. They intersected and lunged toward a densely packed zombie area on the left side of the wall. The gasoline that had been poured down earlier seemed to have eyes of its own, gathering toward the location of the fire dragons. When the two met, about two hundred zombies were instantly ignited.

Seeing this scene, Yanqi Mountain's pupils couldn't help but constrict.

What was going on? This guy named Lu Yanxiu was a dual-element Ability User? And it seemed he was already approaching Level 4.

Wasn't only Xiao Sinian a dual-element user?

Tian Zining felt a chill shoot through his body; he turned back and saw Yanqi Mountain's venomous gaze.

"M-my lord, I don't know..."

Damn it, the last time he saw him, Lu Yanxiu was definitely just a fire-element user.

Yanqi Mountain snorted coldly and blew his whistle: "A bunch of idiots, put out the fire for me!"

After saying this, nearly two hundred more zombies surged toward their burning companions, attempting to extinguish the fire by trampling on them.

Lu Yanxiu shook his finger with a relaxed expression: "Although you are as smart as humans, I'm sorry, but my fire isn't something just anyone can extinguish."

Sure enough, as he had said, the zombies trying to help put out the fire were instantly engulfed by the flames as soon as they got close, as the fire found new fuel and spread instantly, burning them into ashes.

On the ground, three or four hundred glowing green crystal cores lay silently.

Seeing this, the other zombies that wanted to get close bared their fangs and brandished their claws, looking at each other, not daring to step forward no matter what.

They turned their heads to look at Lu Yanxiu, the culprit on the battlement above, their eyes full of anger. From their drooling mouths, they suddenly sprayed streams of disgusting, slimy mucus, shooting it toward Lu Yanxiu like a high-pressure water gun.

"Watch out!" After Qi Yin warned him, Xiao Sinian seemed to sense it, and with a lightning whip, he wrapped it around Lu Yanxiu's waist and pulled him straight down.

Those streams of venom missed their target and splashed onto the city wall, leaving behind small, hollow holes.

"Acid from Mutated Zombies." Qi Yin frowned. It seemed their opponents this time were not as weak as they had imagined.

Qian Dong snorted coldly, and dozens of vines carrying green mist sprouted out of thin air behind him.

"You want to play with poison? I'll play with you."

Just as the Mutated Zombies tasted a bit of success and wanted to spray venom again, the vines behind Qian Dong, carrying wisps of green mist, spread downward and intertwined into a natural plant wall. It directly blocked the acid and even absorbed the corrosive liquid, making the vines grow larger and thicker.

Zhou Le gave a thumbs up: "Nice one, Dong Zi, that's a good move."

Qian Dong had no time to respond to him; he manipulated the vines to dive straight into the Mutated Zombie horde.

The green mist thickened rapidly the moment it touched the zombie horde, making it impossible to see what was happening inside, but the heart-wrenching screams were enough to make one tremble with fear.

By the time he withdrew, that group of Mutated Zombies had completely vanished, leaving only crystal cores and disgusting black water all over the ground.

Qi Yin let out an "oh"; this stuff was better suited for poisonous things: "Dong Zi, you handle these Mutated Zombies."

If she got even a little bit on her, she'd have to wash her clothes a hundred times.

"Small matter!"

The war entered a white-hot state from the very beginning.

After witnessing their opponents' abilities, the zombie army seemed to suddenly gain intelligence; they no longer launched frontal attacks but instead started looking everywhere for weak points in the defenses.

At this moment, the President, who had been staring at the system, suddenly spoke.

"Si Nian, the electric fence in the third sector has been destroyed by them!"
