Chapter 288: 169 Prepare for battle!

Aside from the superpower users, a group of ordinary soldiers was tasked with a vital mission: to transport the injured to the observation room for treatment.

Soon, everyone capable of using a gun took their place atop the Protection Wall, forming a human barrier. Although the wall was tall, standing on it made them targets, making it not only unsafe but extremely dangerous.

But now, with the zombies already at their doorstep, even though they were afraid, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and fight desperately for their survival.

As if sensing their resistance, the zombies outside roared in anger, followed by the outbreak of dense gunfire. To protect the wall, these people had heavy responsibilities – they had to prevent the zombies from getting close at all costs.

Unfortunately, zombies aren’t living creatures, and most of them were Basic-level Zombies. They felt no fear, only a relentless desire for flesh and blood.

The barrage of bullets couldn’t drive them back as they continued their relentless charge towards the wall. If a zombie in front fell to a shot in the head, those behind would instinctively dig out its Crystal Core and swallow it to strengthen themselves.

This sight sent shivers down the soldiers’ spines, as the fallen zombies became a source of power for those that followed, swallowing Crystal Cores to evolve and increase their strength.

The more evolved zombies there were, the greater the danger to humanity!

While those first on the line were fighting the zombies desperatly, the alarms and broadcast within the Safe Zone continued nonstop, urging the remaining survivors to join the battle.

People trickled out one by one, but there were also those who locked themselves in their homes, refusing to come out and willingly face death.

The Basic-level Zombies couldn’t break through the concentrated gunfire and kept falling, but most of those that fell were stripped of their Crystal Cores by those behind. Level 1 Zombies and Mutant Zombies, whether in strength, speed, or defense, were much more formidable than the Basic Zombies.

As the Basic Zombies continued to fall, the Level 1 Zombies and Mutant Zombies within the Zombie Group surged out.

Using their speed advantage, a Speed Mutant Zombie scaled the wall with ease, and with a swipe of its sharp claws, effortlessly pierced the throat of a soldier. It did not stop; after taking a bite from the soldier’s neck, it tossed the body into the horde of zombies below.

Screams and the sounds of devouring rose almost simultaneously, then quickly, after a single cry, the soldier went silent forever.

And then, the casualties began to increase. The Speed Mutant Zombie continued to wound several more nearby before it leaped off the wall, ready to charge into the Safe Zone.

It sensed the abundance of flesh and blood there!

That wasn’t the only Speed Mutant Zombie clambering onto the wall; even with the superpower users’ best efforts to help, the Level 1 Superpower Users were limited and couldn’t cover every area.

Thus, more casualties occurred.

It wasn’t just the Speed Mutant Zombies; Power Mutated Zombies and Defense Enhanced Zombies also surged out, starting to hammer fiercely against the wall, trying to bring it down.

"Bang!""Bang!"

The sounds of impact echoed unceasingly, and as the Power Mutated Zombies battered it, the half-meter-thick wall began to shake.

Someone called out, "Earth Element, reinforce the Protection Wall quickly!"

Then, a yellow glow appeared under the dim lights. Earth Element Superpower Users were reinforcing the Protection Wall.

Fang Jintang was among them; however, as he felt the continuous shaking of the wall, he clenched his teeth and stopped his superpower transmission.

An onlooker thought he had given up and glared at him, veins bulging as he bellowed, "What are you doing? Why did you stop? Do you want those creatures outside to knock down the wall and rush in?"

Fang didn’t speak but hurriedly climbed onto the Protection Wall. Those above continued firing. Seeing him, they paused but said nothing.

No one had the luxury of speaking at that moment.

Fang Jintang watched the crowded zombies below, his eyes slightly narrowed, expression cold. Then his hands started forming hand gestures rapidly. Although the others didn’t understand what he was doing, seeing his serious expression, they intuitively didn’t question or interfere.

The hand gestures Fang was performing were complex, the most powerful magic he could muster at the moment. As his fingers moved incessantly, his normally ruddy complexion started to turn pale, and then, he suddenly stopped his movements!
