During the truck collection mission, they added a total of four buses, each responsible for pick-up and drop-off tasks in different directions.
I never expected that the magic bus could be used like this.
But it can be regarded as making the best use of it.
Cheng Xi was silent for a moment and said in a serious tone, "You have to collect money, rent money."
"The price has been negotiated."
Chen Xingluo was not surprised.
"For the sake of the crystal core, let him go down and take a nap."
Seeing that Xu Qingzhou was so pitiful, the two of them joined the team directly for the sake of his life, and moved him down to sleep for a while.
A new day of fighting begins. Perhaps because the teams have developed a tacit understanding yesterday, today's chopping is smoother and smoother.
Cheng Xi even saw a lot of people with superpowers using their abilities to advance directly on the spot, which caused him a red eye.
——The others fought harder.
The next day it was still wandering around several nearby blocks.
On the third day they advanced a large area.
The fourth day, the fifth day...
After five consecutive days, the superpowers no longer looked like their original appearance. Even if they were put into a pile of zombies, they might not be able to identify enemy and friendly forces immediately.
The black defensive bracelet on their left hand became the only symbol.
Among the crowd, only Chen Xingluo and Cheng Xi were spotless and in high spirits.
"Hey! Why are you two so clean?"
A gray shadow suddenly emerged from behind, "This is unscientific!"
"...Naofumihiko?"
"it's me."
The gray shadow grinned, revealing a pair of white teeth. His handsome facial features had long disappeared, leaving only a pair of eyes that were astonishingly bright.
Of course, there are also everyone’s iconic red bloodshot eyes.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Xingluo was surprised, "If I remember correctly, the magic bus should have sent away the helpers from other bases at this point."
The battle lasted for five days, and everyone worked together to stop some zombies.
However, due to the huge number of zombies, many are still heading towards the central China base. Even the locals do not know the outcome of this war, and other base superpowers can no longer get involved.
Otherwise, I will be suffocated to death in D City, and no one will I have to talk to for explanation.
The question is, why hasn’t this guy gone back yet?
"I want to live and die with the Central China Base!"
The young man in the second grade of middle school raised his arms and shouted, and received two glances as if he were a fool.
"What are you looking at? Can't I be more great?"
"speak English."
"I heard that you have superpower stimulating liquid in your hands, hehehe~"
Shang Wenyan's gaping mouth became even bigger, "When this crisis is over, we must sell a batch to our Hongda Base!"
"Aren't you afraid of losing your wife and losing your troops?"
"With you guys here, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, the original zombie wave of 600,000 is now 200,000 less, okay!"
"..."
Is a shrewd one.
Chen Xingluo nodded in agreement, adhering to the principle of doing door-to-door business unless it was done in vain.
"How many people did you bring here?"
"There are 70 superpowers, and there is only one bus going to Hongda Base, and the others can't get on."
Shang Wenyan was more energetic than before after negotiating a business deal, "Where is Xu Qingzhou?"
"in front of."
"I'm going to have a chat with him. When this zombie wave passes, we will also have the superpower stimulating fluid. Let's see what arrogance he has in the future!"
The gray shadow disappeared from the eyes of the two of them as quickly as it came, without even an afterimage being seen.
Cheng Xi was surprised, "His speed power has also reached the third level."
On the evening of the fifth day, the superpowers retreated across the river bridge and headed towards the base.
Continuous high-intensity combat has exhausted these people, and they have reached a critical point both mentally and physically.
They need enough sleep to ensure they are ready for the zombie wave arriving at the base.
The next work is left to other survivors.
According to the original plan, it would take six days for the zombie wave to reach the base, but the zombies' journey was slowed down because the superpowers were too desperate.
——They have just arrived at the bridge across the river.
Cheng Xi looked outside through the window of the RV. The scenery now was different from when he came.
Well, it's completely different.
The suburbs of city d were originally vast plains, but now after five days of construction, they have become pitted. Except for the main road, there are deep pits and high walls one after another.
These are used to ward off some zombies.
Purely handmade.
At this rate, it will take another three days for the zombie wave to reach the base.
In other words, the advance team not only eliminated one-third of the zombie army, but also delayed the trip for two days.
"Here we go...what is that?"
At some point, a row of exotic plants appeared outside the city wall about ten meters high in Central China Base, and they were playing with vines.
play?
Cheng Xi twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling that this word had nothing to do with the current situation.
But it only takes one glance to tell that they are really playing, because there are several big children laughing and laughing, being rolled up and riding on the branches of the tree.
Who is so creative?
Isn't the zombie wave of hundreds of thousands not enough? We have to deal with alien plants that are even more difficult to deal with - well, they seem to be no threat now.
The next second she knew why those alien plants looked so non-threatening.
Shen Xingluo, who didn't know when he got out of the car, was coming here with someone's collar in one hand. The owner of the collar had to swing his calves due to his height disadvantage.
"Let me go, let me go! I want to see Sister Cheng!"
Sister Cheng herself: "..."
This kid caused it again.
Not surprising at all~[○?｀Д′?○]
Chen Xingluo "threw" the person to the side of the RV. He stared at the little kid with his black eyes and said in a low voice:
"What are you doing?"
"I just asked my friends to help me, they are very good!"
"You should see the rejection engraved on the foreheads of the soldiers guarding the city. I hope your friend will not lose control one day."
"Humph, risks and rewards always go hand in hand, a bunch of cowards."
"Who gave you this sentence?"
"You, the book you read last time said something called Economics and Capital? I saw it!"
"..."
Chen Xingluo pinched his frown and secretly decided to talk to Xu Qingzhou later.
Cheng Xi took advantage of the two men's quiet exchanges to walk up to the guards and inquire about what had happened in the past few days. Only then did she learn that the strange plant at the door had existed two days ago.
They also lived in fear for two days, fearing that one of these alien plants would blow them away if they were unhappy.
In order to prevent these "friends" from causing trouble, the base also specially sent several second-level wood-type superpowers to garrison.
However, the results are both satisfying and worrying. The satisfaction is that the transplants can indeed be controlled artificially, but the worry is that they only seem to listen to the words of their "friends".
Cheng Xi: "..."
You little brat, you really need to be dealt with.
***
The central China base has no experience in dealing with zombie waves.
But after the rapid operations in the past few days, the experienced advance team had already developed a tacit understanding.
As for the remaining 20,000 new-type forces who once belonged to the escort team, they simply had the words "obey command" engraved in their bones.
It is worth mentioning that the high wall several kilometers away in front of the base also gave the survivors a lot of confidence.
The momentum is rising.
In the early morning when the zombie wave arrived at the base, Chen Xingluo and Cheng Xi were drinking porridge and eating pickles made by Aunt Cuihua.
"The jar has bottomed out."
Cheng Xi felt a little regretful and expressed that she missed the craftsmanship of Aunt Cuihua from Shenjia Village.
She raised her head and looked at Shen Xingluo's hair. It had not been trimmed for four months and had grown a lot longer, but it was not yet ready to be tied up.
Cheng Xi still remembered the feel of this jet-black hair, which was a bit "unruly" just like its owner. The jet-black hair was not very smooth, but had a bit of hardness.
I didn't notice it when I was in Shenjiacun, but in modern times, this kind of hair is easier to style.
There is still a lot of hairspray left.
"looking at what?"
"your hair."
Cheng Xi replied smoothly, and then took a sip of rice porridge to cover up, "I mean, you may have to wear a wig for a while after returning to Shenjia Village."
"Don't worry, there is hair growth agent in the system."
"ha?!"
Why are there such unscientific things?
The base's alarm sounded, which brought Cheng Xi back to his thoughts.
The two simply had breakfast and then put on their coats and went out. The entrance to the base was already heavily armed.
Xu Qingzhou and his men stood on the city wall more than ten meters high, looking solemn.
All survivors in the city who had some strength gathered here, and couldn't help but gasp when they saw the black zombie army approaching.
"Oh my god - is this a zombie wave?"
The air was filled with a strong smell of rotting corpses, and the roaring sounds of zombies in the distance continued, like a large machine jamming, which was creepy.
Many people had begun to tremble with fear, and even found a place to vomit.
What is gratifying is that most people still force themselves to stand at the front and take up arms to defend their only home.
As the rumbling sound sounded, Xu Qingzhou had ordered people to fire in the distance.
The superpowers on the city wall began to throw skills wildly downwards, and even the first batch of escorts slipped down along the supernormal plants under the wall and occupied a place.
This time Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi no longer pay attention to ordinary zombies. They have a more important thing - to deal with third-level zombies and special zombies with special powers.
"System, scan all zombies within a five-mile radius and mark the location of the third-level zombies."
【Scanning......】
As the slightly larger red dots were marked one after another, the two quickly locked their positions, jumped off the city wall and headed towards the target direction.
The ordinary zombies along the way were no match for the two of them. They were eliminated and fell down almost as soon as they rushed over. The two of them were as fast as entering an uninhabited land.
Perhaps because the scene was too big, the survivors' attention was quickly attracted here.
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck, what is that?!"
"When did such a powerful boss appear in our base?"
"I was scared to death. If it weren't for Captain Xu not far away, I would have thought it was him!"
Xu Qingzhou: "..."
I heard it.
He was speechless for a long time, then motioned to Mu Cong to send out a few people to cover the two ancestors.
Not far away, Shen Xingluo had already locked onto a rather abnormal zombie.
It had sound limbs and not much dust on its clothes. It was quite eye-catching among the zombies, but what was even more eye-catching was that it seemed to be directing the surrounding zombies to surround the two of them.
"It's a spiritual zombie."
As a member of the spiritual system, Shen Xingluo had long noticed this vague mental interference.
"I also found one here."
Cheng Xi's voice came over the intercom. She was a hundred meters away. "There won't be a third-level spiritual zombie controlling the zombie wave at some distance, right?"
No way, right?
What is this, teamwork?
How abnormal!
Cheng Xi dealt with the swarm of zombies coming up nearby, took out the crossbow with micro bombs attached from the space, and shot it at the locked mental zombies.
"boom--"
The explosion sounded, the heads of the mental zombies bloomed, and the surrounding zombies that were originally moving towards her suddenly became confused.
Those farther away have begun to change direction.
"Why?!"
major discovery.
Maybe after solving the mental zombies hiding in the zombie wave, the zombie wave will not be as scary as imagined?
Cheng Xi's eyes lit up, and then he thought that there were not many people in the entire base who could deal with the third-level mental zombies, and his joy suddenly waned again.
"Really bad."
Chen Xingluo had already informed Xu Qingzhou on the walkie-talkie and discussed a feasible solution.
"There are many second-level psychic powers in the base. As long as they don't encounter them head-on, they will be fine. You can first determine the position of the leading zombies to win with more people."
Mental abilities are very special. As long as a high-level person uses the ability to attack a low-level brain, it can easily cause irreparable damage. However, if it is just for exploration rather than head-on confrontation, there is no big problem.
This is also the reason why Shen Xingluo made this suggestion.
Xu Qingzhou's exact reply came quickly, and he agreed.
With a helper, the pressure on the two of them was reduced a lot. They turned around and immersed themselves in the zombie army again, looking for a possible zombie leader to repeat their previous actions.
Under the city wall, the zombie tide continues to decrease, and the supernatural beings come and go in waves.
This is also a protracted battle.
Until noon, Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi returned to the city wall for a short rest before exhaustion.
However, the scene in front of them made the two of them stunned on the spot. The little kid Zhuang Xuan commanded countless wooden vines to penetrate the zombies' heads, leaving countless corpses. The superpowers beside the city wall are already accustomed to this, and they have obviously become accustomed to it.
"..."
Cheng Xi inexplicably figured out what these people had experienced.
After all, she had worked with the kid for 20 days (ΩДΩ)
The impact of the zombie wave on the base is undoubtedly huge.
Apart from the negative effects visible to the naked eye, Cheng Xi keenly discovered that the survivors were more united than before, almost to the point where they would believe what an individual said.
The superpowers participating in the battle at the front changed one after another, and even ordinary people thought of running to the city wall with stones and throwing them down in an attempt to hit a zombie.
Some elderly people take the initiative to take on the logistical tasks of cooking.
"Five acres of vegetable land have been cleared away, and they are all made into roujiamo and sandwiches. The supermarket has made a lot of money in the past two days."
Xiao Wan originally planned to go to the city wall to practice her skills, but she never expected that there would be no room in the supermarket.
