Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 988: Reinforcements from All Sides
Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Reinforcements from All Sides
A vast zombie tide arrived in the early morning, shocking those who hurriedly came from the N City base and the F City base.
They had never seen so many zombies before.
If one were to walk through, they would be devoured immediately, right?
Can the B City base really handle this?
“Everyone can rest assured for now. That intelligent zombie hasn’t discovered us from behind, and it seems these zombies are all targeting the B City base up front,”
Su Jin said.
The two bases each dispatched 500 special ability users, along with their own logistics and medical personnel, including some heavy weapons, which were reportedly still on the way.
“That’s also good; we can refrain from using weapons for now and kill as many as we can from behind first,”
said Xu Mingliang, an old friend well-known to the Heart Talk Team. Su Jin hadn’t expected Xu Mingliang to be thriving at the N City base. He was now a Level Seven Fire Element Ability User.
“I wonder if Captain Su and Captain Lu have any combat plans, so we can cooperate,”
asked Wan Anran from the F City base, who was appointed as the leader of this operation by Base Leader Bu Hong.
Kou Ning wanted to say there was no plan, just kill them, but seeing the team of over a thousand special ability users waiting, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
Half a day later, the team of a thousand was divided into five groups, each led by a temporary leader at five different positions.
The swiftly constructed defensive barrier was reinforced by Su Jin’s Man-eating Flowers, providing the most robust defense for everyone.
In terms of logistics, the Heart Talk Team generously provided various foods, consuming all the reserve food Lin Yunguo had prepared for a long time, making Lin Yunguo busy once again.
“Did Xiao Jin say there are over a thousand people outside?”
Lin Yunguo asked Nie Qing and Lin Xiuyuan, who came in to rest.
“Yes, but they all brought food. Su Jin said if you are too busy, we can just send grains instead of buns,”
answered Lin Xiuyuan.
“Oh? That won’t do. Since they are killing zombies, how can we not contribute? Right, old lady?”
Lin Yunguo said with a smile, pouring flour into the kneading machine and asking his wife.
He was eager for such an opportunity, a perfect time to showcase his skills.
“Hahaha, Grandpa Lin is indeed diligent, but let’s skip the pancakes. The folks from the F City base have tasted them,”
Nie Qing reminded.
“Right, right. I almost forgot if you hadn’t reminded me. We can’t mix things up,”
Lin Yunguo agreed. Buns and flatbread were fine, but since making flatbread was a bit troublesome, Lin Yunguo decided to switch entirely to steamed buns, which were simpler and more substantial.
Outside the space, behind the long defensive wall, the special ability users from each base were fighting.
There were already cases of injuries.
While fighting, everyone cooperated seamlessly. Whoever called out they were injured would be supported by those around them, allowing the wounded to leave the battlefield.
Even when resting, Su Jin would use his ability to heal the wounded. The only regret Su Jin had was that Lian Ze’s antidote was too scarce. The Snow Spirit Flower was good but quite taxing on the vocal cords…
“You are also tired. Go take a rest,”
Su Jin said to Lu Hao, concerned that he might exhaust himself after rushing back and expending a lot of energy and strength on the field.
“Alright, I’ll go sleep for a while,”
Lu Hao agreed, knowing he could sleep soundly in the space for just under an hour.
“Su Jin, thank you for Heart Talk Team’s provision of food,”
said Chen Chuyao with a smile as he walked over. This time, he personally led the team. A frequent visitor to the B City base, he struck up a conversation upon seeing Su Jin resting.
“You’re welcome. How is Aunt Wen?”
Su Jin asked.
“She’s doing well. She often mentions you and wants to see your twins,”
Chen Chuyao replied, watching Su Jin, who kept healing people and growing the Snow Spirit Flowers even while resting, with admiration.
A master was indeed a master—her abilities were impressively durable.
“Captain Su, why is your growth of Snow Spirit Flowers so fast?”
Wan Anran couldn’t help but ask. He noticed Su Jin had grown two Snow Spirit Flowers after only resting for less than an hour, which was nothing short of miraculous compared to their base’s current Wood Element Ability Users.
“With more experience, it becomes a habit. I can share my insights with you later, and you can teach everyone when you return to your base,”
Su Jin humbly offered.
“That would be fantastic!”
Chen Chuyao thought this was indeed an unexpected bonus from their trip.
With Su Jin’s consent, Wan Anran recorded some of her combat methods and tactics to share with the Wood Element Ability Users back at the base.
The battle continued for a week, and the second batch of special ability users arranged by Chen Chuyao and Wan Anran were in place. The first batch, exhausted, were escorted back to the N City and F City bases.
“I’m not leaving. I want to stay here,”
Xu Mingliang, part of the first batch, refused to leave.
He had learned that the intelligent zombie was Han Jin and held a grudge against the Han Family. He was determined to see Han Jin’s fate here.
“Who said men don’t hold grudges?”
Su Jin said to Lu Hao. Even after more than a year, Xu Mingliang still couldn’t let go.
“Maybe his captain’s death hit him too hard,”
Lu Hao said, considering Xu Mingliang to be a person of deep affection and loyalty.
…
Han Jin finally realized something was wrong. The fire and thunder behind the zombie tide were too conspicuous at night. When he noticed the distant firelight, it was already the ninth day of the zombie tide.
The back of the zombie tide was surrounded by humans?!
Soon after, Han Jin at the back saw dozens of Man-eating Flowers devouring his zombie army?!
[Attack those Man-eating Flowers with full force.]
Han Jin commanded the zombie tide from the rear.
“We’ve finally been discovered,”
Su Jin said with a smile.
As for the Man-eating Flowers, she had an abundance of them.
“As expected, it’s that reckless Han Jin,”
Kou Ning remarked with a shake of his head.
The zombies were all attacking the Man-eating Flowers but hadn’t noticed that such actions only jeopardized themselves. The Mysterious Fire Fan swept past the gathered Fire Element Ability Users, and the fierce flames suddenly soared to the sky.
This time, everyone on the city walls of the B City base saw the flames shooting into the sky.
