Chapter 268: Chapter 257: Lil’ Bro, Sweating and Clenching Your Legs, Are Ya?

According to the reports from Leng Feng and his men, the zombies currently wandering over were all Low-Level Zombies.

No high-level zombies, like those of the Seventh and Eighth Tiers, had appeared yet.

So for the time being, there was nothing to worry about.

However, just to be safe, Mengde took a few of the women outside the base for a look after he finished breakfast.

"Boss!"

Leng Feng was thrilled to see Mengde arrive.

Mengde nodded, a little surprised.

"What are you doing here?"

The area in front of the base’s bridge didn’t offer any good strategic positions.

Nor was it suitable for building a sturdy Defense Barrier.

That was why Mengde had previously just told Leng Feng to grab a few people to keep watch.

All that mattered was that they could report back to the base in a timely manner.

But he hadn’t expected Leng Feng to come here in person.

"Heh heh, well, it was a direct order from you, Boss."

"To be safe, Lei Qiang and I discussed it with the others."

"From now on, we’ll take turns standing guard."

Leng Feng answered, scratching his head.

At his words, Mengde had to commend Leng Feng for his diligence.

"Good work!"

"Thank you, Boss!"

After the pleasantries, Mengde turned his gaze to the outpost at the other end of the bridge.

It had been set up hastily, so it was quite crude.

A simple barrier wall had been fashioned from sand, rocks, wooden planks, and wrecked cars.

It was meant to hold back the zombies that wandered in from the surrounding area.

And just as Leng Feng’s men had reported, zombies were indeed swarming in from the vicinity.

Zombies of the Fifth and Sixth Tiers had already appeared.

They were now on the other side of the barrier, roaring madly at him.

"Have a lot of zombies been wandering over these past couple of days?"

Leng Feng answered.

"Yes, and their numbers are growing."

"Before, there were only a dozen or so, but now there are far more."

As Mengde listened to Leng Feng, he surveyed the scene.

Where there had only been one or two before, now they had to be described in terms of multiple hordes.

With just a quick glance, he could already see three or four hundred of them.

And this was after Leng Feng and his men had just cleared the area two days ago.

It was clear how rampant the zombie horde had become!

"Alright, stop standing around. Let’s move out together."

"Let’s clear out all these zombies."

"Letting them pile up like this is not a solution."

Upon receiving Mengde’s order, Leng Feng and his men charged forward without a second thought.

They engaged the frenzied horde of zombies in battle.

The women who had come along, like Jiayi and Fei’er, didn’t just stand there dumbfounded.

Every last one of them sprang into action.

After all, the safety of the base was at stake; no one dared to be complacent.

Fortunately, with no high-level zombies present, the cleanup was quick.

Besides, Jiayi and the others had all broken through to Tier Eight.

So for them, it was a complete slaughter.

In just under two hours, the scene was completely cleared.

"HUFF... HUFF... HUFF..."

Leng Feng and his men were panting heavily, their faces filled with relief.

"Boss, thank goodness you came!"

"Otherwise, clearing out this many zombies would have worked us to death."

Mengde smiled faintly and patted his shoulder comfortingly.

"All that matters is that everyone’s okay."

"From now on, come out and clear them away whenever you’re free."

"I’ll talk to Lei Qiang and the others when I get back and have them come out to help you more often."

"If it really gets to be too much, just retreat back inside the base."

Mengde said this to ensure Leng Feng and his men wouldn’t be suddenly besieged by a massive swarm of zombies.

Even though Leng Feng and his men were strong, they couldn’t withstand being swarmed by that many zombies.

Reassured by Mengde, Leng Feng’s confidence surged.

"Don’t worry, Boss! I’ll be sure to lead my men and hold the base’s first line of defense!"

Mengde smiled, gratified.

"Go collect the Zombie Crystal Cores first."

Since they had gone to all this trouble to clear out the zombies, they certainly weren’t going to leave the Zombie Crystal Cores behind.

The women, of course, looked down on these low-level Crystal Cores.

They had better ones!

Besides, compared to directly absorbing Zombie Crystal Cores, that naughty husband of theirs... could also help them raise their Superpower Level.

After these past few days of "deep communication" with their husband, their Tier Eight Superpower Level, which they had just reached, was already showing faint signs of another breakthrough!

By their estimates, it wouldn’t be long.

They might even reach Tier Nine!

This rate of advancement was enough to make even Mengde feel a little inadequate.

’Damn it, who’s the one with the cheat codes here, me or this group of women?!’

’After all, I’m only at Tier Nine right now.’

Speaking of Superpower Levels, he suddenly remembered that he’d been busy "charging" Yuyan last night.

Then, in the second half of the night, he’d been busy "communicating" with Sister Ru.

As a result, he still hadn’t checked the system reward he’d gotten for "lighting up" the Goddess Yuyan.

’Hmm... I should take a look when I get back.’

He was currently at the Tier Nine Peak Superpower Level!

’If there’s a reward, I could probably break through Tier Nine...’

At this thought, he found himself growing faintly expectant.

Ignoring Leng Feng and his men, who were busy collecting Zombie Crystal Cores, Mengde prepared to head back with Jiayi and the other women.

The apocalyptic weather was still scorching hot.

It was more than ten degrees hotter than it used to be.

After just a short while, Mengde felt like he was being cooked by the sun.

For beauty-conscious women like Jiayi and the others, it was even more damaging to their skin.

So now, they were also thinking about going back to take a fragrant, luxurious bath.

However, before leaving, Mengde did a quick scan with his Telekinesis Perception.

By now, his Telekinesis Perception could cover the entire Economic Development Zone, if one didn’t account for other factors.

However, its range was somewhat limited by obstructions like buildings.

Even so, covering half of the Economic Development Zone was still no problem.

With that one simple scan, Mengde discovered that it wasn’t just the zombies near the base.

Large numbers of zombies had started heading for the base from places far away, like the eastern and western parts of the Economic Development Zone.

A horde here, a horde there!

The numbers were absolutely staggering!

"Sigh... it seems the base’s current situation is still far from optimistic."

"High-level zombies will probably start showing up in a couple of days!"

Mengde murmured to himself.

’Damn it, high-level zombies of the Seventh and Eighth Tiers are about to attack.’

’And I’m still only at Tier Nine Peak!!!’

’Unacceptable!!!’

Mengde’s desire to break through grew more and more intense!

So after giving Leng Feng and his men a few quick instructions to watch out for the appearance of high-level zombies, he grabbed Jiayi and the others and hurried back to Villa No. 1.

After being out in the sun for so long, he was already drenched in sweat.

His clothes were soaked through.

"I’m going to take a shower!"

With that brief announcement, Mengde stepped into the bathroom.

However, the moment he stepped into the bathroom, he went from being drenched in sweat to clenching his legs in a cold sweat...

Because from outside the bathroom came the voice of a mature woman.

"Yuyan, your Brother Mengde just got back. This is exactly when he needs your help."

"Come on, go scrub his back for him..."

Mengde: !!!

So, little buddy, feeling that nervous sweat now, are we???
