Working Together against the Zombies

Ye Xingchen and the rest did not go to the hospital with Yun Che and Xing Feng. Tan Weiye's subordinates had arranged for them to move into a house near the city hall. As there were now many empty houses, the group had an entire six-story garden-style apartment to themselves. Lu Haixuan joined Chu Haoling and the gang who wanted to catch up with Tan Weiye's subordinates while Ye Xingchen and the rest briefly tidied the house before going back to the entrance of the base.

"Heiyu, over there, there are two more over there, hurry up!"

"Alright, you brothers are always torturing me, what have I done to deserve this?"

Although the zombies were still outside the base, they didn't dare to move any closer for the time being. The soldiers and superfunction possessors were about to catch some rest when they saw Yun Cheng and Leng Yehan shuttling among the zombies on Heiyu's back. Every one of them stood rooted to the ground with their eyes wide open. Yun Cheng was working very well together with Heiyu, directing him to places with the most level-4 zombies. Heiyu had also gained progress. He previously needed to strike a few times before he could smash the head of a level-3 zombie. However, he could now deal with level-4 zombies with just one strike and killing two zombies at the same time with both paws. Whenever they got near level-4 zombies, Heiyu would be in charge of close attacks while Yun Cheng on his back would be in charge of long-range attacks, and Leng Yehan became redundant as a result.

"I knew this was going to happen."

After returning to the entrance of the base, Zhou Zeyu and the gang felt both amused and helpless when they saw Heiyu jumping around among the zombies. They had already heard them yelling from far, and they felt a little sorry for the dumbstruck people at the side.

"Shall we help?"

Meng Gang was a little tempted to join in when he saw them battling. After exchanging glances with the others, Ye Xingchen jumped onto the back of the Wolf King. Zhou Zeyu and Jiang Shang dashed out almost at the same time, and two magnificent tornadoes rose from the ground. Jiang Shang conjured a blade and threw it into the tornado with one hand while releasing the nine-section whip that Heiyu gave him with the other.

"Geez, wait for me!"

"Brother, I'm off!"

Meng Gang was dumbfounded when he saw Meng Xu dashing out right after he made the suggestion. The sharp wooden stake instantly split into two and into four…continuing this way until there were dozens of them flying towards the zombies. Without hesitating any further, Meng Gang ran forward swinging his arms, and a several-foot-long water superfunction blade descended from the sky in an awe-inspiring manner.

"…"

Seeing that she was the only one left, the dumbfounded Zhan Yafei wondered if she had to do the cleaning up again.

"Have you dug out the crystal nuclei of these zombies?"

Zhan Yafei looked around before walking towards one of the soldiers and pointing at the debris piled up outside the city. The puzzled soldier blushed when he saw the pretty Zhan Yafei, "The, the ones here have been dug out, but not those over there."

The capital base had already notified the various bases the uses of crystal nuclei. As they couldn't collect them while fighting like Yun Che, they usually had to dig them out one by one after battling.

"Oh, dig them out quickly. I'll clean up for you guys together later."

As the weather was getting hot again after the heavy snow, the corpses would encourage the growth of bacteria and also attract zombies. Seeing that Che had the intention to live here for a while, Zhan Yafei thought she could just help them for the good of everyone.

"Huh?"

The young soldier was a little dazed, and Zhan Yafei didn't bother to explain to him either. After she turned around and stamped her foot, the ground within ten meters in front of her instantly turned into sand, and the debris piled up on the ground fell into the quicksand. Everyone who saw this was petrified, and they couldn't help but feel sad that even a woman was more powerful than them.

"Alright, dig out the rest quickly."

Zhan Yafei clapped her hands a few minutes later, and the ground returned to normal, looking as though it had never been contaminated. With everyone looking at her in shock, Zhan Yafei dashed towards Ye Xingchen and the gang as she used her superfunction to sweep all the zombies in the front row into the sandpit such that only their heads were exposed. The Wolf King swept his claw across, and the heads of several zombies that had fallen into the sandpit were gone. At the same time, Ye Xingchen aimed at the heads of the remaining zombies with his crossbow, and the small golden arrow shot through the heads of three zombies at one go, even though those zombies were at least level-3.

"Give me the blade, Xu!"

Zhan Yafei yelled, and the battling Meng Xu took out the blade from the Space and threw it out. Zhan Yafei jumped up and grabbed the handle of the blade, swept it in the air, and the heads of all the remaining zombies flew behind them. A wooden stack suddenly appeared out of nowhere and chopped the heads open with precision, after which a gush of wind came to sweep up all the crystal nuclei and send them to Meng Xu, who finally washed the crystal nuclei with a gush of water before keeping them in the Space.

A dozen level-3 zombies were killed in a flash with their great teamwork. Not only had they collected the crystal nuclei, they had also buried the bodies of the zombies.

"One more round, Yafei?"

There was no doubt that this was the most time-saving and effortless method. Needless to say, it would only work only if the zombies stood there obediently, so Yun Cheng the Super Zombie played a very important role.

"Sure!"

Not showing the zombies any mercy, Zhan Yafei displayed the same moves again, leaving the people on and below the base tower stunned. They never knew zombies could be killed this way—it was damn cool.

"Pretty girl, can you help us trap some zombies?"

Seeing them having a great time, the superfunction possessors both inside and outside the base were also tempted to join in. As they had recently been tormented by zombies, they weren't going to let go of this rare opportunity to fight back, even if it was just temporary.

"Sure!"

Zhan Yafei, who had just stopped another group of zombies, readily agreed. She stamped her foot and trapped the zombies in the front row on the left with her superfunction.

"Brothers, come on!"

"Kill them!"

"Geez, this is really cool."

"If only the zombies allow us to chop them off without fighting back, then I'll be able to kill tens of millions of zombies."

"Yah right…"

"Haha…"

The soldiers and superfunction possessors who were having a great time killing zombies for the first time were all very motivated, and the outside of the base became like a slaughterhouse. With Yun Cheng the Super Zombie around, neither the level-3 nor level-4 zombies dared to strike first, and it was already too late when they counterattacked as several superfunction possessors would have exerted their superfunctions on them by then. As a result, they could only end up being chopped. In the end, all the superfunction possessors in the base rushed out to get rid of the zombies, but…

"What's wrong, Cheng?"

Yun Cheng who was riding on Heiyu stared unhappily at the hyped up superfunction possessors, and Ye Xingchen on the Wolf King's back was the first to notice that he was upset. Leng Yehan, who was battling together with the rest, came over when he heard what Ye Xingchen said. Yun Cheng said unhappily, "They're snatching my level-4 crystal nuclei."

Yun Cheng was very upset as no one had ever dared to snatch his crystal nuclei. His brother and the rest had always given him the crystal nuclei they collected, but suddenly there was this big group of people snatching the crystal nuclei. He felt crushed.

"Erm…"

Ye Xingchen was rendered speechless. Did Cheng think that all the level-4 crystal nuclei here belonged to him? Well, he wasn't wrong to think this way either, since they wouldn't be able to kill the zombies so easily without him.

"Cheng, let's just continue killing on our own. We'll have more level-4 crystal nuclei than them with you around."

Leng Yehan hugged and comforted him after jumping onto Heiyu's back.

"Okay."

Yun Cheng answered feebly, still feeling a little unhappy. He wanted to collect as many crystal nuclei as possible since he rarely had the chance to encounter so many level-4 zombies. His brother often told him to stock up on food and those were his rations. What was he going to do if he ran out of them in the future? With this thought, Yun Cheng took out a clean crystal nucleus and was about to throw it into his mouth when Leng Yehan quickly stopped him, "Eat after we get back. Did you forget what we told you? "

"Oh!"

Remembering that they had told him not to eat crystal nuclei outside, Yun Cheng obediently put away the crystal nucleus before looking up at the zombies and the sky that was getting dark, "Let's go back, Hanhan, or Brother's gonna lecture us."

Yun Cheng's anger came and went quickly. He wasn't in the mood to collect crystal nuclei anymore when he remembered Yun Che's instructions. His elder brother had promised to take him out to collect crystal nuclei anyway. He would find a place with no one and collect them slowly lest others compete with him.

"Well…wait a while more, let's get Yafei and the rest."

Wouldn't the zombies attack again once the Super Zombie was gone?

Although Leng Yehan didn't care about others, he had to think for his squadmates. Seeing his eye gesture, Ye Xingchen rode on the Wolf King to notify the rest at once, and at the same time also notifying the guys from the coastal base. Knowing that the zombies would turn violent once they left, the superfunction possessors who were still sane despite killing the zombies enthusiastically retreated back into the city right away.

"Roarrr…"

As soon as the Super Zombie entered the city, the zombies outside turned violent and rushed forward. The various superfunction possessors exerted their superfunctions at the city wall while the well-prepared soldiers immediately fought back. They could no longer deal with the zombies easily like before.

"I knew you guys are here. Come on, let's get back. I've gotten lotsa fresh seafood, let's have seafood barbecue for dinner."

Chu Haoling and the gang came over. Chu Haoling was beaming and almost drooled when he talked about food. Zhou Zeyu and the others who had bloodstains all over them weren't in the mood to talk about food, so they simply nodded and walked past him. Lu Haixuan asked with a puzzled expression, "Che isn't with you guys?"

They had thought that Che went out with them to pick up Cheng, and they looked like they had just fought.

"Mmm, maybe he's still with Captain Xing. We came out to help Cheng collect crystal nuclei after cleaning up the house."

Ye Xingchen said as he massaged his hands while walking beside Jiang Shang. Unlike others, although he could also battle with the crossbow given to him by Heiyu, his hands would hurt badly afterwards. Jiang Shang had to soak and massage his hands every time he returned from a quest. The stress on his hand muscles would increase if he wanted to shoot zombies accurately with a crossbow, and there was no way around it unless he shot randomly, but that would be putting to waste the bow and arrow Jiang Shang conjured for him.

"Let's go back and do the preparation. A barbecue shouldn't be too difficult."

Lu Haixuan nodded and held Chu Haoling's hand. Tan Weiye's subordinates didn't go back with them, "We gotta go. Make yourselves at home."

With that said, the group strode towards the entrance of the base. They weren't worried when Zhou Zeyu and the others were outside. However, now that the zombies were attacking again and they would become more violent as the sky turned darker, they had to stay on the front line since their chief wasn't around.

"The zombies are really terrifying, I hope this will never happen to our base."

Shen Rui sighed as he looked at the backs of their old friends, and the rest were also feeling low after hearing about Admiral Tan. However, they didn't know that what Shen Rui had hoped for would never come true. Being attacked by zombies was one of the most terrifying things in the doomsday, and it would only become more frequent as zombies continued to level up!
