Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 973: Joining Hands Against the Zombie Horde
Chapter 973: Chapter 973: Joining Hands Against the Zombie Horde
The second wave of the Zombie Tide at the H Province Base seems to be even larger in number than the first time.
This is also the first Zombie Tide that Lu Hao and Su Jin face here together with Guan Shouzhong and a few others.
The soldiers are somewhat in despair, not yet having recovered from previous casualties, and now facing an even larger number of zombies.
A whole winter’s time has allowed a lot of zombies from various gathering spots to break through walls.
“Base Leader, all the City Defense Team Members who had gone to rest are now gathered and ready.”
A middle-aged man in uniform approached and said.
“Thank you for your hard work, Old Shen, this is Lu Hao from the Heart Talk Team.”
Guan Shouzhong introduced.
The Heart Talk Team is here?
Shen Guangming was slightly surprised; he knew of Lu Hao, but they had never truly met face to face.
He had heard of the prowess of the Heart Talk Team, but faced with a Zombie Tide, he didn’t feel a few people could turn the tide. Nonetheless, he politely greeted Lu Hao.
“Later, Xiao Jin and I will head to the first wall.”
After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Hao said to Guan Shouzhong.
“Captain Lu, we still have some artillery shells, you don’t need to risk going outside for now.”
Guan Shouzhong did not agree. There are two walls outside the base, the first of which is lower and thinner, and the area outside is the most dangerous. It’s not suitable to go to the first wall at the beginning of the Zombie Tide attack.
“It’s fine, I’m just going to accompany her to accelerate some Mutated Plants.”
Lu Hao patted Guan Shouzhong’s shoulder, signaling him to continue his work and not to worry about them for now.
“Stay safe.”
Guan Shouzhong said, the safety of Lu Hao and the others is equally important.
After treating the wounds of a scar-faced man in the ward, Su Jin followed Xiang Sanjin to the base wall, where Lu Hao and Qiqi were awaiting her.
“Looks like a lot.”
Su Jin looked at the Zombie Tide surging from a distance, numbering at least over a million, with no end in sight.
To others, this scene was extremely terrifying, but in Su Jin’s eyes, those zombies were a great nourishment for the Man-eating Flowers.
It seemed their plan to return quickly to the S City Base was going to fall through.
“Let’s go quickly.”
Seeing Su Jin urging him, Lu Hao also smiled. His wife apparently showed excitement and anticipation, after all, it had been a long time since they faced so many zombies.
Guan Shouzhong looked at the limited ammunition and the weary City Defense Team Members and sighed.
He didn’t hope for anyone to force themselves; as long as they could get through this time, with the Snow Spirit Flower, hope was what awaited them next.
“It’s Sister-in-law and Captain Lu!”
Tian Yongyi widened his eyes at the two figures standing outside the first wall. Although they could only see their backs, the whole scene deeply shocked everyone present.
In front of them were towering plants, higher than the walls, extending vines to grab zombies that hadn’t yet reached them and putting them into the central flower mouths.
Some plants directly leaned forward to take bites, while the limbs of the zombies continued to struggle in mid-air…
And then, several Fire Dragons surged into the middle of the Zombie Tide from all directions.
In just an instant, a massive gap appeared in the Zombie Tide, though it was quickly filled by the zombies behind. Such a one-strike-to-thousand effect was a method none of them had seen before.
“Don’t save your Special Ability, I’m about to explode.”
Su Jin, while performing her Special Ability to continuously conjure large wooden spikes, replenished Lu Hao’s abilities.
“Alright, I just informed them that the lateral area is temporarily our responsibility.”
Lu Hao said. He wasn’t sure how long the two of them could hold out, but as long as Su Jin wanted to stay here, he would definitely stay by her side to protect her.
“Impressive.”
Shen Guangming spoke, watching their backs.
Not to mention the Mutated Plants that kept devouring zombies, Lu Hao’s few moves alone were equivalent to numerous attacks with heavy weapons.
That man seemed to have an endless supply of Special Ability, as one Fire Dragon after another descended from the sky, burning through waves of zombies.
“So maybe it was my overthinking just now.”
The last time Guan Shouzhong and the Heart Talk Team killed zombies together seems to be a year ago. He didn’t expect Captain Lu and the others to become so formidable, and there were just two people.
Su Jin and Lu Hao leading the charge greatly impacted the soldiers present, significantly boosting their morale.
Consequently, the Special Ability User team and City Defense Team Members in the base quickly formed lines, ready to move forward and destroy the enemies.
“Everyone listen to me, the Heart Talk Team has brought Antidote Herbs from the S City Base, which can counter the Zombie Virus. If anyone gets scratched or bitten while fighting, please immediately withdraw and return to the base. The base will detoxify the injured free of charge.”
Guan Shouzhong had not forgotten about the Snow Spirit Flower. According to Xiang Sanjin, there were already people in the Base Hospital gradually getting treated now.
So he hurriedly spoke to those present before they went through the second gate.
“Antidote Herb! Is that true?”
“Can it cure bites as well?”
“Then what are we afraid of, let’s go!”
“It’s true, I just saw Xiao Cai, who was bitten by a zombie this morning!”
“…”
Seeing the group stopped to talk amongst themselves, Xiang Sanjin brought out Doctor Li.
Doctor Li was the most authoritative surgeon in the H Province base, and he excitedly spoke about the treatment results with Antidote Herbs achieved at the Base Hospital so far.
“The shorter the injury time, the faster the detoxification. Stop doubting. Before I left, there were already 132 people in the ward who had fully recovered.”
That many?!
The Heart Talk Team only seemed to have arrived around noon today.
“Thus, everyone must still be careful, avoiding vital injuries from zombies. It’s best to fight under the Mutated Plants controlled by Captain Su from the Heart Talk Team.”
Guan Shouzhong said, as it’s said that sometimes the Mutated Plants may extend branches to help people around.
Can it even do that?
The first group going out not only felt encouraged but also found it novel. The despair and panic that captured their morale was quickly replaced.
At this moment, Lu Hao only felt like the Special Abilities within him were a lake continuously replenished by living water. No matter how much he used, Su Jin would immediately replenish it.
He tried to conjure a more demanding Flame Wall, and after burning the zombies below, it swept forward like a tidal wave, turning into a vast sea of fire.
“It’s still not enough.”
Su Jin, reflecting on the sea of fire, had a sudden idea and took out the Mysterious Fire Fan from Space, used a vine to lift it, and began to fan it.
