90: Gaining new abilities, the survivors placed in the base city triggered the highest alert
“Curse Superpower? Blessing Superpower? And Super Healing?”
Long Feiyang had an unexpected discovery while checking the Super Warehouse, finding three new Superpower crystal cores.
The Super Healing Superpower seemed a bit redundant to him, as he now possessed the Ultimate Immortality Ability. Even if his body turned to ashes, he could instantly recover.
The ten-meter domain of the Ultimate Immortality Ability could not only heal other life forms' injuries without limit, but also revive life forms that had died less than an hour ago. Compared to a standalone Super Healing Superpower, it was immeasurably more powerful.
However, being able to add a new Ultimate Ability and increase his energy by 100,000 was ultimately a very worthwhile endeavor.
As for the Curse and Blessing Superpowers, they greatly piqued Long Feiyang's curiosity.
But he didn't plan to use them at the moment; he decided to go back first.
Subsequently, Long Feiyang flew directly to the entrance of the Base City and released over 190,000 survivors.
These survivors were all in a comatose state, neatly arranged at the Base City entrance.
The survivors with the black 'Evil' character were all taken into his Prison Artifact.
At this moment, the total number of people in the prison reached 254,760.
Today, 145,645 new people were added, generating over 1.8 billion emotional points daily.
After returning to the villa in the Base City, Long Feiyang directly traveled back home.
After a thorough disinfection and cleaning, Long Feiyang quietly returned to the bedroom.
Seeing Li Wenting sleeping soundly and not tossing and turning or overthinking due to his absence, he breathed a sigh of relief and quietly got into bed to rest.
Before going to sleep, he also custom-ordered a super-large Underground Space in the Super Factory.
Everything usable that he had collected in the Original World was put to use.
---A large number of unconscious people suddenly appeared at the city gate of the Base City, and this abnormal situation immediately alerted the Soldiers on guard.
The Soldiers quickly entered a state of alert, and one Soldier hurriedly contacted Company Commander Zheng Qiangguo.
“Company Commander, a lot of people are lying at the city gate, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. Thermal imaging shows vital signs, but we're not sure if they are survivors or zombies. Skynet's initial estimate is around 190,000.”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiangguo immediately became vigilant and climbed the city wall to investigate.
He saw a dense crowd of people lying neatly on the ground as far as the city wall's lights could reach, extending from the city gate into the distance, with no end in sight.
He picked up his thermal imaging binoculars and observed carefully, finding that they were all heat sources, seemingly survivors. However, he knew that zombies also had heat sources, making it difficult to determine their true identities for a time.
“Could it be a conspiracy by a control-type zombie?”
Zheng Qiangguo couldn't help but recall the 'Big-Headed Zombie' that could control zombies, which they had encountered before. That evolved zombie was extremely cunning, having once made ordinary zombies disguise themselves as humans, plunging the Base City into a huge crisis. They were only able to resolve it with the Base City's fierce artillery fire.
He immediately used his military phone to search for relevant videos through Skynet and discovered that these people had indeed appeared out of thin air.
“Wake everyone up immediately and enter the highest state of alert!” Zheng Qiangguo decisively ordered.
“Yes!” The Soldier immediately sent a group message via military phone to notify his comrades.
Only the highest leader, Brigade Commander Li, had the authority to contact all Soldiers with a single click, so he had to report to the leader first.
Subsequently, Zheng Qiangguo called Brigade Commander Li.
“Reporting, Leader, approximately 190,000 people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, lying on the ground at the Base City entrance. Currently, we cannot determine if they are survivors or zombies.”
Brigade Commander Li had just fallen asleep and was woken by the call. His initial irritation instantly vanished upon hearing Zheng Qiangguo's report, replaced by shock: “Are you sure?”
“Yes, Leader, this is data compiled by Skynet. You know Skynet's accuracy; it has never made a mistake.”
Zheng Qiangguo's trust in Skynet was evident. After all, Skynet was controlled by top global artificial intelligence, and its reliability had been tested many times under severe conditions.
“Immediately activate the highest alert!” Brigade Commander Li made a decisive decision, simultaneously pressing the low-volume alarm button.
After the zombie outbreak, humans discovered that zombies had acute hearing. To deal with such situations, a special low-volume alarm measure was developed.
This alarm sound was extremely low but incredibly piercing. All survivors and Soldiers in the Base City wore alarm wristbands 24 hours a day.
Once the wristband vibrated and emitted a low-volume alarm, it meant the Base City was facing an extremely dangerous situation, and everyone had to immediately prepare for battle or find cover to hide.
“Yes!” Zheng Qiangguo hung up the phone and quickly arranged for the highest alert. All weapons and equipment rapidly entered a state of readiness, and various missiles were activated, entering launch preparation procedures.
The survivors in the Base City, feeling the vibration of their alarm wristbands and hearing the low-volume alarm, immediately fell into panic. They quickly shut and barricaded their doors and windows with furniture, seeking safe corners to hide.
The Soldiers, on the other hand, rushed out of their dorms at the first possible moment, quickly donned their gear, grabbed their weapons, and, using Skynet's positioning, sped towards the incident location.
In less than five minutes, nearly a thousand Soldiers had assembled on the city wall, standing ready, closely watching the mysterious 'uninvited guests' who had appeared at the city gate. The atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bow, ready to snap at any moment.
Brigade Commander Li quickly contacted Regiment Commander Zhao and Regiment Commander Qian, then opened the Skynet system, attempting to ascertain the current emergency.
“What? All the zombies have disappeared?” When he connected with Skynet's artificial intelligence, the feedback he received greatly shocked Brigade Commander Li—all the zombies Skynet could monitor within the entire city had vanished without a trace.
Brigade Commander Li's mind immediately recalled the mysterious force that had appeared before.
Previously, Skynet had captured abnormal footage of zombies and damaged objects disappearing simultaneously in multiple locations, but because the Base City was on alert at the time, no one had investigated the matter deeply.
He never expected such a bizarre situation of zombies collectively disappearing to occur now.
On the city wall, Zheng Qiangguo led the Soldiers in maintaining a high state of alert, yet there was no movement outside the city wall.
After a long while, still no abnormal situation occurred. Zheng Qiangguo hesitated for a moment and decided to personally lead a small team out of the city to investigate.
At this time, other Soldiers on the city wall were closely watching the surroundings, and various missiles were already in a pre-launch state, ready to respond to any potential danger.
Zheng Qiangguo, with a team of a dozen people, wearing protective armor, cautiously opened the outermost city gate.
Seeing that the people lying on the ground remained motionless, they approached even more carefully.
When they got closer, the bodies, whether zombies or humans, still showed no reaction.
Zheng Qiangguo mustered his courage and tested one, finding that there was still breathing. So, everyone carefully carried seven bodies back to the inner city gate, then began examinations and blood tests.
