Anseong Base.
The Qingmang team had just returned from their mission when they happened to hear the news from the capital base.
"There are actually level 7 zombies now? But we haven't even seen level 6 zombies yet."
"Yeah, I didn't expect zombies to evolve so much faster than humans!"
"Oh my god, why are the skills of level seven zombies so abnormal?"
"The Chenxi team is so strong, but not even a single person can escape..."
"It's such a pity..."
"The zombies have become so strong, do we still have any hope of victory?"
"..."
Coming out of the guild of superpowers, there were voices discussing level 7 zombies all the way.
People originally thought that as long as everyone worked together to protect the base and then expand outward slowly and steadily, they would one day defeat the doomsday.
But they didn't expect that less than half a year later, reality hit them in the face again. Everyone's emotions, which had been high for several months, were suddenly poured down by a basin of cold water, instantly chilling their hearts.
"Captain, are we still taking the mission?" Lei Min asked, looking at Lin Qingqing, who was frowning and silent.
Everyone felt heavy after hearing the news. They had also heard of the reputation of Chenxi Team. It was a very excellent team. It was no exaggeration to say that the overall strength and quality of this team was no better than their Qingmang Team. Too much difference.
"Go back first and take a good two days to recuperate before taking a look," Lin Qingqing shook her head and said.
In the past six months, the abilities of everyone in the Qingmang team have been greatly improved. Lei Min is already in the middle of the fifth level. Everyone else has made progress to varying degrees. Even Song Qiao, who was the lowest level at the time, has successfully entered the fifth level. Level four.
Except Lin Qingqing.
Like most of the fifth-level superpowers, she was stuck at the sixth level. She has tried many methods in the past six months, but she has never found the key point.
There was no way to advance, so she turned her attention to the rest of the team. During this period, she led the team to take on tasks and complete tasks, running around outside almost every day.
Back home, everyone except Yin Yaxiu was packing their bags silently. It seemed that everyone was used to such an intensive task rhythm during this period.
"Everyone, don't be too busy cleaning up now. The captain said that you should have a good rest for a few days this time." As soon as Lei Min entered the door, he ran directly to the sofa, lay on it and stretched out comfortably.
"Eh? Can you finally rest?" After hearing this, Qu Xingchi quickly dropped the things in his hands, and then followed Lei Min's example and fell on the other sofa.
"Everyone has worked hard during this period, let's just work on it for a few more days this time," Lin Qingqing walked in. Seeing everyone staggering around, she couldn't help but wonder: Is she too harsh on everyone?
Since life in the base gradually returned to normal half a year ago, people have also begun to adapt to the end of the world. With secure bases and reliable troops, the survivors haven't felt the pressure and tension they felt at the beginning of the apocalypse for a long time.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the base was becoming more and more relaxed, Lin Qingqing couldn't be happy. Contrary to others, she does not believe that the apocalypse will end so soon, nor does she believe that human beings can defeat the apocalypse with just this existing advantage.
Perhaps it was because her powers could not be broken through for a long time, but Lin Qingqing always had an inexplicable feeling of impatience in her heart. It was not until today, when she heard the news about the seventh-level zombies, that she finally found the source of her uneasiness.
——According to past experience, zombies always evolve one step faster than humans. Whenever humans make some achievements, zombies will take a big step forward. Either it's cheating rapid evolution, or it's a large-scale zombie siege. And in the past six months, despite the survivors' continuous expansion of territory, the zombies have not moved at all. No matter how you look at it, this thing is weird.
——Besides, human superpowers have nine levels of evolution, so it makes no sense for zombies to stop evolving only to level five.
But in the past six months, they hadn't even encountered a zombie above level 6. It was only today that they suddenly heard about level 7 zombies. Although the content of the news was terrible, the big stone that had been hanging in Lin Qingqing's heart finally fell.
While the Qingmang team was recuperating, the superpower guild of Ancheng Base came to find them.
"Captain Lin, Vice Captain Lei."
The person coming was Liang Qifeng, the member of the Superpower Guild who manages the release of tasks for superpowers.
"Director Liang, please sit down!" Lin Qingqing was slightly surprised. Director Liang, who is responsible for the mission release of the entire base, actually came to her in person. It seems that this matter is not simple today.
Although she was surprised, Lin Qingqing's face remained calm.
"I came here today to ask Captain Lin and Vice Captain Lei to take action on an important task."
Liang Qifeng sat down and explained his purpose straight to the point.
"What mission?"
Lin Qingqing and Lei Min looked at each other calmly and quickly. They didn't mention Qingmang Team, but specifically named the two of them. It seems that this mission may be a bit special, but I don't know that the Guild of Superpowers has taken a fancy to them. level, or supernatural attribute.
In the blink of an eye, both of them knew what was going on.
"That's it," Liang Qifeng sat up slightly. He was originally from the military. Whenever he stood or sat, his back would always be straight. When he straightened again, the atmosphere instantly became serious.
"You know about the Security Team, right?" Seeing the two men nodding, he continued: "They are missing!".
Ten days ago, the Ping An team took on a level four exploration mission. This mission was not difficult for them and could be completed in three days at most. But on the third day, they suddenly sent out an emergency distress signal. The Tier 4 team closest to them at that time rushed over after receiving the signal, and then also sent out an emergency distress signal. Later, this The team disappeared.
Only after the base received two distress signals in a row did they realize that they had actually encountered a level six zombie.
The fifth-level team encountered a sixth-level zombie while doing a fourth-level mission. This matter was obviously not simple, so the guild quickly reported it to the base. They originally thought that the two teams must have been wiped out this time, but unexpectedly two days later, they received another distress signal from the Ping An Team.
According to the security team, the zombie did not kill them immediately, but chased them into the mountains like a cat playing with a mouse.
Unable to fight or escape, the Ping An team fought with zombies in the mountains for seven days.
During this period, the base also sent out rescues twice, once as a small team and once as an individual. Unexpectedly, both teams came back in vain. Except for two fifth-level superpowers who successfully escaped, everyone else died in that one. In the hands of zombies.
After hearing the news, Lin Qingqing was very surprised. She knew about the Ping An Team. Although this team was always criticized by other superpowers because it liked to take on low-level tasks, its strength was indeed not weak, not to mention that there was another person in their team. Healing superpower.
And captain Yao Ping'an is a person who has caution engraved in his bones. What did such a team do, or for what reason, to make that level six zombie so obsessed with it?
"What are the attributes of that level six zombie?" Lin Qingqing asked, suppressing the doubts in her heart.
"Speed type plus wind type."
Liang Qifeng's voice fell on their ears like thunder.
"A zombie with dual powers?"
Lei Min's eyes widened in surprise. Until now, they had never seen dual-type superpowers or zombies appear.
"Yes, this zombie is very special. This is the first time we have heard of it."
Not only Lin Qingqing, but also Liang Qifeng had never heard of two different attributes appearing on a person or zombie at the same time.
"So, the guild wants me and Minmin to rescue people this time?"
"Yes, this is also an instruction from above," Liang Qifeng nodded.
If you want to deal with a level 6 speed and wind zombie, it's actually best to let a level 6 wind power user do it.
It's just a coincidence that the only sixth-level wind power user in the base is performing other tasks and will not be able to come back in a short time.
So, after analysis, everyone finally agreed that among so many superpowers in the base, only the two captains of the Qingmang team were the most suitable candidates.
Understanding the other party's intention, Lin Qingqing fell into deep thought.
——No wonder Liang Qifeng only ordered the two of them. Sixth-level speed and wind zombies. The others would just be sent away.
Food. As for the two of them, one is an ice type who is good at defense and control, and the other is a thunder type with the strongest attack. They are indeed the best candidates to deal with this zombie.
Since even the guild has personally stepped forward for this task, there is no room for shirk.
After thinking about all this, Lin Qingqing agreed without thinking for too long.
"Oh, by the way," Liang Qifeng paused before leaving and said casually: "After the mission is completed, Captain Lin, can you hand over the crystal core of the level six zombie to the base? Don't worry, the base will definitely provide other compensation."
"Okay," Lin Qingqing was not surprised.
The crystal core represents the attributes of the zombie. When you encounter a dual-attribute zombie for the first time, it goes without saying that the base must study it carefully. However, catching it alive is basically unrealistic, so you can only settle for the second best and study its crystal core first. .
Because it was a rescue mission, Lin Qingqing and Lei Min set off after a little preparation.
Although Wen Ling was not brought along this time, the base had already transmitted the positioning signal of the Ping An Team to the communicator of the Qingmang Team. They could find the leader of the Ping An Team, Yao Pingan, as long as they followed the instructions of the communicator.
With the exact target in mind, after Lin Qingqing left the base, she flew towards the mountains in the southwest.
In a mountain forest more than 200 kilometers away from the Ancheng base, beside a winding stream, six people were looking around in confusion and vigilance.
Behind them, there were five people, two of whom were treating the wounds of a unconscious young man, while the other two were arguing loudly.
