Chapter 257 - 246: West Mountain Zoo

Chapter 257: Chapter 246: West Mountain Zoo

The Economic Development Zone was quite large.

However, after several sweeps by the base, there weren’t many survivors left.

All that remained were some zombies and Mutant Creatures.

This zoo near West Mountain was one of those places.

However, the zoo Leng Feng had discovered had an unusually high number of zombie monsters.

Not only were there ordinary mutant animals, but there were also several zombies whose Superpower Level had reached Tier Seven!

He hadn’t found any Tier Eight ones, though!

If it had been an ordinary person, they would have probably stayed far, far away.

But Mengde was clearly no ordinary person.

To him, this group of Mutant Creatures was no different from a ready supply of Zombie Crystal Cores.

"This is a perfect chance to clean this place up!"

"It’ll stop them from gathering in large numbers later and attacking Yulong Base."

At the same time, it would also protect his base’s Superpower Users from harm when they came out here.

After all, this was the primary area of activity for most of the people from his base.

However, what he hadn’t expected was that before he could even make a move...

A Tier Seven Zombie, perhaps having heard the commotion from Mengde’s group, charged straight at him.

"Well now, are they lining up to die?"

Mengde chuckled but didn’t act personally.

He had brought Lei Qiang with him this time.

A mere Tier Seven Zombie was something Lei Qiang could handle.

Sure enough, without Mengde even needing to say a word...

Lei Qiang charged forward on his own.

He was extremely calm.

As a Thunder-type offensive Superpower User, he began unleashing his Superpower from a great distance.

A bolt of thunder followed, striking the Tier Seven Zombie directly on its head.

The Tier Seven Zombie’s head was instantly blown apart by the thunder.

Black blood and chunks of flesh flew everywhere.

Mengde had long since activated his Space Black Hole, his Absolute Defense.

Thus, none of the blood and gore splattered onto him or the people around him.

But this Tier Seven Zombie was quite tenacious.

It wasn’t immediately defeated and knocked down by Lei Qiang’s thunder strike.

Its body was still twitching violently, as if in its final death throes.

Seeing this, Lei Qiang didn’t hold back.

Kick it while it’s down!

Now was the time to kill this Tier Seven Zombie.

He immediately followed up with another Thunder Attack.

Mengde estimated that with Lei Qiang’s Superpower Level at the Tier Seven Peak...

...and an S-Level Thunder Element Superpower at that!

It would probably take about two moves to deal with an ordinary Tier Seven Zombie like this.

And what happened next was just as he had predicted.

The Tier Seven Zombie indeed didn’t survive Lei Qiang’s two attacks.

It was killed on the spot!

Amid the cheers of the base’s men, Lei Qiang extracted the Zombie Crystal Core.

It had to be said, that was extremely easy for Lei Qiang.

At the same time, it was a huge morale boost.

The zoo’s main gate had long since been destroyed.

It had completely devolved into a gathering place for mutant animals.

In Mengde’s field of vision, more than twenty mutant animals were gathered inside.

Hearing the commotion from the battle outside, they all began to rush out one by one.

Not only that, but zombies infected by the virus from the surrounding area also gathered.

They quickly surrounded Mengde and his men.

Fortunately, after witnessing Lei Qiang’s fight just now, Mengde’s men were not afraid.

Moreover, in the days since the apocalypse began, these Superpower Users under Mengde had all more or less experienced being surrounded by zombies.

After all, Mengde had previously given specific orders.

All guards in the base with an Awakened Superpower had to go out on rotation to gather supplies.

So, they had fought and killed their fair share of zombies these past few days!

Now, seeing these zombies swarm them, they were growing eager.

Mengde smiled.

"Go!"

At Mengde’s command, his Superpower Users charged like tigers unleashed from a cage.

They all rushed toward the zombies and Mutant Creatures.

Superpowers of all colors began to bloom:

First, a refreshing green light flashed before everyone.

It was the Wood Superpower, representing the power of life and nature.

"Ten Thousand Trees Revival Technique!"

The green light grew and spread rapidly like vines, intertwining to form a solid barrier.

It firmly protected their allies within, and any approaching zombie attacks were blocked by these life-filled vines.

It formed a Superpower defense right in front of everyone.

This allowed all the base’s Superpower Users to attack without worry!

This was something Mengde had previously required.

Killing zombies and Mutant Creatures to obtain Zombie Crystal Cores was important, of course.

But the safety of his Superpower Users was even more important.

Therefore, constructing a defense during battle was essential.

And this defense was not to be underestimated.

It was constructed by all the Superpower Users in the base who possessed a Defense Superpower.

Its defensive capability, naturally, went without saying.

At the very least, a Tier Seven Superpower User definitely couldn’t break it!

Even an ordinary Tier Eight Superpower User would have a very hard time!

After the defense was constructed, a brilliant red light flared, burning like a Flame.

That was a Superpower attack launched by one of Mengde’s powerful subordinates who had a Flame Superpower.

"Flame Shock!"

The flame carved a brilliant arc through the air, sweeping toward the enemy with scorching heat.

Everywhere it passed, the very air seemed to ignite with a SIZZLING sound.

A whole line of zombies was directly incinerated by the flames.

They let out final, tragic, and painful roars.

But it was destined to be useless.

Because Mengde had more than just one Fire Superpower User under his command!

"Flame Ball!"

"Flame Burning!"

"Fiery Flame Fist!"

"..."

Various Fire Element Superpowers lit up the battlefield.

They quickly cleared out an area within the zombie horde.

"Hahaha!"

"You sons-of-bitching zombies! You wanted to bite me, huh? Look at you, all dead!"

"Just you wait, we’re coming to take your Zombie Crystal Cores!"

"..."

And not to be outdone by the Fire Superpower Users, Mengde’s other Superpower Users also joined in.

A deep blue light flared, surging forth like a raging ocean wave.

Those with the Water Superpower manipulated currents of water, which either formed into sharp Water Blades that shot toward the enemy at extreme speeds...

"Water Jet!"

...or condensed into giant balls of water that smashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up sprays of water and mud.

"Water Gathering Ball!"

"..."

After the Water Element’s performance, a dazzling golden light tore through the sky like lightning.

This was the immense power of the Metal Superpower!

The golden light morphed into various sharp weapons—swords, sabers, spears, and more—all shimmering with a cold glint.

Like indestructible weapons, they charged at the enemy with a fierce aura!

"Golden Light Kill!"

There was also a mysterious, earthy-yellow light, as ethereal and uncertain as smoke.

It launched its attack directly from the ground...

...
