Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 852: Wang Chunli
Chapter 852: Chapter 852: Wang Chunli
Lian Ze and Moli also stood above the city wall, watching the grand spectacle of the mecha team’s battle. Besides the cheers and applause all around, an indescribable feeling emerged from Lian Ze’s heart.
Is this perhaps what they call a sense of pride?
If he could see it, shouldn’t he feel happy for himself too?
His actions are finally no longer things that make him frown or sneer!
Below the city walls, the new mecha team has overcome the shortcomings of insufficient energy and sluggish movements. Besides the energy beams emitted from them, each mecha’s powerful punch could directly smash a zombie’s head.
“How many crystal cores are needed for such a mecha?”
Su Jin couldn’t help but ask her most concerning question.
“These mechas have been improved to utilize energy generated by combining electricity and crystal cores. Their size has been reduced several times, so during the testing phase, each mecha consumes about 1500 crystal cores over three hours,”
Liang Jiuhui said.
Su Jin nodded. 1500 cores… that’s exponentially less than the previous 10,000.
Liang Jiuhui continued, “In the future, the Weapon Research Institute will keep improving so as to more heavily rely on electricity, which will save even more crystal cores.”
“There won’t be a shortage of crystal cores at the base in the future,”
Lu Hao suddenly said.
Liang Jiuhui was stunned for a moment before smiling, indeed, given the current situation, there won’t be a shortage of crystal cores at S City base.
Not to mention, even before the zombie tide, various bases had expressed their desire to purchase large quantities of battle clothes from S City base. Though significant manpower, materials, and funds have been invested in the research and testing of these mech armored teams, once they become a trend, the returns will far exceed the investments.
This is also why he is currently very focused on Lian Ze and has waived all treatment fees for Lian Jiyue and his group. If possible, he’d only hope Lian Ze could bring him more surprises.
On the 25th day of S City base being siege by zombies, just as the zombie tide was about to fade away, a corner around the base suddenly stirred. That area originally had the least zombie gatherings and hardly any onlookers.
Upon hearing Sheng Jing’s warning, Liang Jiuhui immediately rushed over with his men.
It turned out to be a group of special ability users fighting zombies, and the most eye-catching among them was a woman wielding a hammer more than two meters long, with all the zombies around her being smashed into pulp by the hammer.
Due to the distance, Liang Jiuhui picked up his binoculars to have a closer look.
“Wei Junhao?!”
He saw Wei Junhao through the binoculars? And even Luo Hongyi and the others were also fighting zombies.
“Quick, call for support immediately!”
Although the battle situation below was overwhelmingly one-sided with those zombies being no match for the group of special ability users, he couldn’t just watch his friends fighting zombies outside. Moreover, judging by the scene, Wei Junhao and the others might be intending to take another route to help eliminate the zombie tide.
While Sheng Jing went to call the reinforcements, Liang Jiuhui didn’t stop using his special abilities, his thunder element ability descended from the sky, so dazzling that Wang Chunli raised her head.
“Hey, that guy Liang Jiuhui finally noticed us.”
Wei Junhao dodged a zombie’s bite while saying.
“That is… Liang Jiuhui…”
Wang Chunli muttered.
Bai Ying felt that the previously invincible Wang Chunli’s mood suddenly changed; she stood in place, tears welled up.
“Chunli! Behind you!”
Bai Ying timely alerted.
Wang Chunli was just a special ability user they encountered along the way, but she saved them and, upon learning they were heading to S City base, directly left her original team, saying she wanted to go to S City base with them. Although Wang Chunli had been taciturn and not fond of talking along the way, Bai Ying rather liked this dark and sturdy-looking woman.
With Bai Ying’s reminder, the Stone Hammer instantly lengthened, sending Wang Chunli into the air, just in time to evade the attack from the fire element mutated zombie.
“Thank you.”
After smashing the fire element mutated zombie into pulp, Wang Chunli expressed her gratitude to Bai Ying.
“You’re welcome, it’s the right thing to do…”
Bai Ying said with a twitch of her mouth, no matter how many times she watched, Wang Chunli’s way of killing zombies was always simple and crude…
There were still large hordes of zombies at the city gate of S City base, so Su Jin was also temporarily called to help. She needed to use her wood element ability to pull Wei Junhao and the others, who had already cleared a large number of zombies down there, up.
“Wang Chunli?”
Su Jin shouted with surprise upon seeing the person who stepped down from the mutant man-eating flower.
Isn’t this the Wang Chunli they met at the E City base who had been fooled by someone?
“Su Jin?”
A hint of light appeared in Wang Chunli’s eyes; it’s the people who saved her!
“Chunli, you actually know the captain of Heart Talk Team, Su Jin. What a coincidence, hahaha,”
Wei Junhao laughed with some surprise.
“Su Jin, is she your friend?”
Liang Jiuhui thought the name Wang Chunli sounded somewhat familiar, but it was too common, so he hadn’t thought of it immediately.
“She is…”
Su Jin was about to speak about Wang Chunli, but Wang Chunli tugged her sleeve shyly.
“She is my friend,”
Su Jin finally replied, smiling, as now didn’t seem like the right time.
“Alright then, everyone please don’t just stand here, I’ll arrange for your rest right away,”
Liang Jiuhui said to everyone with a smile.
“If it weren’t for Chunli insisting, we had planned to come after you dealt with the zombie tide,”
Wei Junhao chatted with Liang Jiuhui as they walked.
They had arrived at S City three days ago but found a zombie tide happening ahead of the base. Over a hundred survivors were also blocked outside, most of them originating from other places or those who couldn’t make it back to their base before the zombie tide.
Wei Junhao’s group had also found a safe place with these people, intending to wait for the zombie tide at S City base to retreat before coming. He knew S City base was the most fearless of the zombie tides.
However, Wang Chunli had consistently shown anxiety, wanting to help clear the zombie tide from behind. If Wei Junhao hadn’t stopped her, she might have charged into the back of the zombie tide alone days ago.
Walking beside Su Jin, Wang Chunli gazed at Liang Jiuhui chatting with Wei Junhao ahead, her emotions became increasingly complicated.
“What do you plan to do afterward?”
Su Jin asked.
“Su Jin, I… I have already helped 1258 people. Although my redemption is not yet complete, if possible, I wish to continue helping others in S City,”
Wang Chunli’s way of speaking was somewhat awkward. After all, this person had saved her from a dark life. Whenever she thought of Su Jin later, she considered her only second to Liang Jiuhui. Liang Jiuhui saved her life, but didn’t Su Jin too save her life in another way?
