Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Brief Brilliance

"I thought he would forget about that feature,"

Lian Ze rubbed his nose and said.

Li Haochu: "..."

So Rong Yuan was driving without a license.

"What is that thing?"

"A combat robot? Is it ours?"

"Who built this? It’s too amazing!"

Not knowing where he got it from, Lian Ze picked up a blanket and wrapped himself in it like a small hillock, listening contentedly to the admiration of those around him.

This was just something he had made casually.

"It’s moving! It’s moving!"

Someone pointed at the mecha below and said.

The mecha controlled by Rong Yuan looked quite agile; it had crushed a bunch of zombies when it first came down, and now it was kicking those dead zombies, seemingly clearing a space for itself.

Probably a mutated zombie sensed the Special Ability User inside the mecha, several visible metal spikes smashed onto it, making loud clanging sounds.

However, those metal spikes seemed like they were merely tickling, having no effect on the mecha at all.

The mecha grabbed the zombies that had climbed onto it with its mechanical arms and then tore them apart. To Rong Yuan, the zombies under its feet were like ants--he controlled the Crystal Core Energy inside the mecha and began to stomp vigorously.

Lian Ze was speechless now—was he going to fire or not!

The power of this combat mecha lay in its attack capability.

"Hahaha, so cute"

Mao Qiqi applauded and said. Such a big guy, stepping on zombies looking like it was hopping around, seemed so adorable.

"Hmm, this guy does a good job stepping on zombies, one foot can crush a dozen or twenty, just like a tank,"

Huang Yunxiang added, though she had never seen a real tank.

"Not bad, not bad, let it roll around in the zombie pile later, a Mount Tai crushing the top, definitely will kill a bunch of zombies,"

Su Xiangzhe also felt so, this heavy mecha truly had heft.

Liang Jiuhui was somewhat speechless; he wished he had put an intercom in that mecha earlier. Rong Yuan really was still a child, jumping down to play...

Xing Taining looked around the base, feeling a bit strange; why did it seem that everyone looked so relaxed?

He even saw excitement in some people’s eyes?

Although Liang Jiuqing had once told him about the base’s experience in fighting a Zombie Tide, this was a Zombie Tide of several million zombies!

How many people were there in the entire base?

Less than fifty thousand!

...

Rong Yuan stomped dozens more times until there was no room left for the zombies around him, then he finally stopped.

It was time to fire.

Excited, Rong Yuan watched the button, and although he couldn’t see how many zombies were in the distance, he aimed the sight at what seemed to be the most densely packed area of zombies and firmly pressed the fire button.

The incessant praise from the city walls stopped.

Everyone held their breath, watching the bright light that streaked down like a long rainbow.

What was it firing?

Shells?

But why could it reach so far?

The light emitted by the mecha seemed to pierce through the entire night, shooting straight towards a place beyond everyone’s line of sight.

In its path, a row of zombies was blasted into a mush of corpses.

"A divine weapon indeed,"

Nie Qing’s eyes widened as he gazed upon it, seeing it as the kind of divine weapon used by ancient cultivators in legends!

"I want to cry. It’s really a combat mecha. I really want to sit in it and try it out,"

Lin Xiuyuan grabbed a person beside him and shook them excitedly. Seeing that the person did not react, Lin Xiuyuan realized he was shaking Lu Hao, who was also staring in shock at the scene below.

Liang Jiuhui knew its power, but he hadn’t expected its range to be even farther than before!

If this kind of combat mecha could be developed into a weapon, it would mark a significant advancement in the eradication of zombies!

"It’s going to fire a second time!"

Someone shouted excitedly.

Watching the mecha assume the same firing position again, everyone watched excitedly below.

Although the zombies below were still roaring, if the mecha was really as formidable as it seemed, it would be best to let it keep attacking the horde below. The end of the zombie tide was in sight!

However, everyone soon had to face reality, because after the combat mecha fired three times, it fell back against the fortress wall behind it as if it had run out of battery...

"This is bad, Rong Yuan is in danger!"

Li Haochu watched as the zombies quickly filled the space below the wall where the fallen mecha was quickly covered by a dense swarm of zombies.

"It must be out of crystal core energy, achoo! It’s okay, it’s very sturdy and won’t be destroyed by the zombies, achoo~"

Lian Ze explained while sneezing.

"This is no solution for a long time. Keep attacking. Special Ability users, start getting ready,"

Liang Jiuhui also snapped back to reality from his momentary awe.

They now had to face the countless zombies outside, along with many mutated zombies attacking the fortress wall.

The battle had just begun.

"Su Jin, I’m relying on you, your plant army,"

Liang Jiuhui said as he approached Su Jin.

Su Jin nodded. She had already been eager to deploy Xiao Cui, but the combat mecha had distracted her for a moment, making her somewhat forgetful.

Su Jin moved toward the edge of the city wall, ready to start cultivating man-eating flowers.

She had collected many seeds of the man-eating flower. Facing such a large number of zombies this time, she planned to cultivate more.

"Are you going to cultivate from such a high place?"

Li Haochu asked, remembering that last time Su Jin had walked outside the wall to start the cultivation.

"Hmm, it should be fine,"

Her man-eating flowers could walk after all.

Lian Ze pulled his scarf aside a bit and watched intently as a small plant magically appeared in Su Jin’s hand.

She tossed the plant into the mid-air, where it grew at a visible speed and fell to the ground below the wall.

Under Lian Ze’s watchful eyes, a giant man-eating flower grew. It landed on the ground and awkwardly adjusted itself before opening its petals and enclosing a bunch of zombies beside it, beginning to pull them into its bud...

Then, Su Jin cultivated a second, third, fourth plant...

Until the entire base of the wall was filled with a row of man-eating flowers, then Su Jin finally stopped.

"Here they come, here they come. Su Jin’s plant army is here!"

"Yes, and these man-eating flowers look much more powerful. They never run out of power,"

"Seeing them makes me feel relieved. I also want to go down and kill zombies. The fewer there are, the better,"

"..."

The people of the S City Base seemed to quickly forget the shock brought by the mecha, and instead, they replaced it with affirmation and appreciation for the man-eating flowers.

Lian Ze: "..."
