Chapter 669: Chapter 541, This Must Be Hell Chapter 669: Chapter 541, This Must Be Hell “If we leave, what about these skeletons? Apart from Sister Qi, these skeletons probably won't listen to us.”
“Then we don't take them with us; preserving our lives is the most important thing.”
“How do we explain to Sister Qi and the King when we return? Are we just running away like this?”
“Then what do you suggest we do?”
There was a moment of chaos inside the room.
After joining the base, the survivors had hardly ever confronted the zombies head-on; without the base leader present, they also lacked confidence.
But from the current perspectives of the few people present, more believed it was better to leave first and then retake this place after regrouping with Qi Hancai.
While the few of them were discussing in low voices,
a familiar voice came through the radio.
“I am Qi Hancai, the deputy leader of the Xinfu City base. How many zombies have the provincial rescue team brought with them?”
The voice was deep and serious.
Inside the room, everything went silent for an instant; the debate stopped, and everyone's attention was fixed on the radio.
Soon, another voice, accompanied by static noise, came over, “There are a lot, we can't determine the exact number for now, but the estimate has already exceeded ten thousand, and it's continuously increasing along the way.”
The faces of the few listening to the radio inside the military factory looked even uglier.
“If there are only around ten or twenty thousand, it's similar to the number of zombies we cleared from the city with the leader.”
“That's a huge difference, we can't control the skeletons, nor do we have the ability like the leader. Once the zombies break in, we'll get infected with just one touch.”
“Damn, they're screwing us over.”
“These assholes, disappearing when it comes to saving people, and now that they see we're doing well, they direct them toward us.”
“Be quiet and listen to what Sister Qi has to say!”
Everyone quiets down again.
Qi Hancai's voice arose from the radio, “Are there any special types of zombies?”
The rescue team replied, “We can see Level 2 and Level 3 Mutant Zombies. Judging by the behavior and direction of the zombie horde, we can't rule out the existence of a Zombie King, but we can't confirm it.”
The radio fell into a brief silence again.
Then, Qi Hancai spoke once more, “Alright, keep moving toward the military factory. I will have someone meet you, coordinate with them when you arrive, and don't make any unnecessary moves or provocations to avoid any misunderstandings.”
“Thank you for the rescue from Xinfu City,” the rescue team said.
Qi Hancai did not continue to reply.
Even while talking about meeting the rescue team on the radio, from her tone, one could still detect Qi Hancai's dissatisfaction.
It was only because Qi Hancai could keep her temper. If it were someone else, they might have already started cursing.
Then, the voice of Qi Hancai was heard again.
Not to the provincial rescue team, but to the shelter in the military factory, “Bai Qing!”
“Sister Qi, I'm here.”
“Bring over Bone Demon Number One, and say I want to speak with it.”
“Okay.”
Bai Qing turned around to gesture with his hand, and someone immediately left.
Shortly after, the door reopened and a figure dressed in a white shirt and black suit entered; except for the stark white skeleton, their attire resembled more that of a manager heading for a meeting.
“Sister Qi, Bone Demon Number One has arrived; you speak!”
The radio remained quiet.
Qi Hancai directly said, “Bone Demon Number One, this is Qi Hancai. There are over ten thousand zombies currently approaching the base along the East Road. I need you to mobilize all the troops to withstand the zombie assault, ensure maximum protection of the base, and rescue the arriving survivors.”
In the room, everyone looked at the skeleton in the suit as it nodded slightly.
Bai Qing immediately spoke up, “Sister Qi, it nodded.”
Qi Hancai continued, “You all likewise prepare yourselves, and if there is danger, evacuate first without interfering with the skeletons' operations.”
“Understood!”
“Report to me immediately if anything happens.”
“Will do.”
After the communication ended, everyone started to take action.
The survivors prepared the convoy and told others to get ready for evacuation.
The skeleton in the suit also headed outside the factory.
And behind the factory area, within the boundless Withered Wood Forest, the sound of footsteps crushing fallen leaves and pushing through bushes resonated.
A vast multitude of skeletons with eyes flickering with blue ghostly flames emerged from the woods, assembling in front of the factory.
…
Provincial rescue team, the convoy.
A long line of vehicles raced along the road.
Behind them, a relentless horde of zombies chased the vehicles, roaring and bellowing, madly pursuing them.
“We're approaching the military factory area; barricades appear up ahead, and a large number of skeletons are letting us pass through an open path,” reported the voice from the leading vehicle over the intercom.
“Slow down and pass through.”
The convoy slowed down and drove straight into the skeleton formation.
As the vehicles entered, the faces of everyone inside began to look grim.
Under the moonlight, on both sides of the convoy, stood a dense and orderly Skeleton Army, clad in Battle Armor, their empty sockets shimmering with a strange light.
Spear Soldiers, Archers, One-handed Battle Axe, Swords and Blades!
Different troops stood in their respective formations, their ranks and files forming straight lines.
At a glance, there was no visible end to the army.
“This must be Hell!”
When the rescue team showed their fear,
survivors from the military factory quickly approached and knocked on the car window, “Everyone out of the car, no weapons allowed.”
On the main road.
The chasing horde of zombies suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Killing over from inertia, they rose again and returned to their place at the back.
Behind the horde of zombies, even more undead kept arriving, forming an endless sea of zombies.
Whoosh!
The sound of something cutting through the air.
A figure with insect wings, resembling a beetle, landed on a streetlamp nearby.
The streetlamp swayed, creaking noisily.
Its cold eyes swept over the skeletons in front of it.
Then, it let out an angry roar.
The zombies below also responded with a series of roars and growls.
Then they started to surge forward, like an incoming tide.
Swish swish swish~!
A flurry of arrows shot out from the skeleton camp, turning swathes of zombies into porcupines, falling to the ground in the rain of arrows.
Tumbling over, they tripped up the undead behind them.
Then, even more zombies rushed into the Spear Array, where sharp spears pierced through bodies, bones and putrid flesh clashing, filling the night with shrieks.
In Gold and Silver Island, within a bedroom.
Wu Heng suddenly opened his eyes, his expression turning ugly.
[Experience +1.]
[Experience +1.]
[Experience…]
The incessant notifications of experience gains snapped him fully awake.
He swiftly dressed and donned his Battle Armor, then walked into his study.
In the darkness, Xiao Xiao was watching TV, and Glenda was organizing blueprints at the desk.
Seeing Wu Heng come in, she asked curiously, “Weren't you resting?”
“I sense danger. Make a round on the island to see if there's been any fighting,” Wu Heng said.
Such intensive experience gains suited the battles in Zombie World more.
But before leaving, he needed to make sure Gold and Silver Island was safe from any trouble.
The two Ghosts looked at each other and nodded, then flew directly through the roof and departed.
Soon after, they returned swiftly.
“Nothing's wrong, Uncle!”
“Does it count if there are patrols driving away drunkards?”
“No, come back. Let's head over there,” Wu Heng said directly.
The two Ghosts quickly re-entered his body, and he opened the boundary door to head to Zombie World.
As soon as he stepped out of the dormitory building, he heard the sound of combat and resounding roars coming from outside the factory.
It was indeed this place.
Releasing the Ghosts once more, “Go see what's happening outside.”
The two Ghosts flew out quickly, heading to the battle zone.
It didn't take long before they returned from outside.
“A massive horde of zombies is attacking from that direction, engaged in battle with the skeleton troops,” Glenda reported.
Raising her hand, the schoolgirl Xiao Xiao added, “Among the zombies, there's a Level 18 Cockroach Zombie with a shell and wings.”
Glenda continued, “Inside the courtyard, there's been an addition of a convoy, all with unfamiliar faces.”
“Let me have a look,” Wu Heng said.
The Ghosts slipped back into his body, and the scenes were shared with him.
On the road outside the factory, a dense mass of zombies was surging towards them, wave after wave crashing against the ranks of skeletons.
The skeleton formation stood like a solid steel wall.
Time and again, it resisted the enemy's charges.
Then, there was the newly arrived convoy in the factory yard and the crowd that had gathered around.
After a quick scan, he saw the flag of the rescue team.
