Who would dare to challenge the Super Zombie?
As soon as Yun Cheng landed, not only the zombies stopped the attack, but they also backed up in a shudder. Because the zombies were packed together and they backed up in a fluster, some even trampled on others. Several level-4 zombies swept off the level-2 or 3 zombies in their way, bit their heads, swallowed the crystal nuclei and their brain.
"Hey, behave yourselves! this is unhygienic!"
Thump! Thump!
It hit the nerve of Yun Cheng, the mysophobic zombie. He ran into the zombie crowd and started rebuking them. Many people that followed Chaoyang and Peak out stumbled and fell at the front line. "Is he asking the zombies to be hygienic? This is ridiculous! Is he joking or what?"
Yun Che, Xing Feng and Leng Yehan next to Yun Cheng also face-palmed. Cheng being a clean freak was kind of a tricky problem, but it had become better than the first time they took him out, at least he wouldn't be standing there being picky and judgy all the time. Yun Cheng could be a mild clean freak because they didn't want him to eat his pals' brain like those nasty zombies did.
"Chief!"
"Che!"
Soon, Chao Yang and Peak people were all there, standing staunchly in the sun, dauntlessly facing the zombie tide. They looked like upright pine trees.
"Let's go!"
The zombies backed up and had made an empty space outside the wall. Tan Weiye led the first batch of superfunction possessors to rush out of the gate. The 50,000 people formed an extended line to the left and the right.
"Che, we are ready!"
The 50,000 people had taken their position in about 10 minutes. Tan Weiye informed Yun Che through the speakerphone. Yun Che gave a short reply. Xing Feng set the golden eagles to fight on their own. Everybody braced themselves for the battle.
"It's our turn. Attack!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Roaaaar!
Right after Yun Che finished, he threw the black blade out. The blade span in the air, shooting the power of thunder at the zombies. The zombies were crumbled before they could react. Meanwhile, Yun Che conjured superfunction energy in his hands, blazing purple lightning streaks burst into the sky. Yun Che flung his arms, two thick lightning streaks took a dive from the sky.
Boooom!
The lightning strike was as loud as bombardment. It wiped out all the zombies several meters around the center. A human wasn't supposed to own such horrifying power, and he wasn't alone. The lightning strike was followed by superfunction barrage of every offensive attribute: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which was dazzling. Tan Weiye was kind of shocked. Zombie heads flew, whirled, and exploded in the air, the brain splashed all over the place. It wasn't a battle, it was a slaughter. Tan Weiye felt these level-4 superfunction possessors were much stronger than those in the Coastal Base.
"Charge!"
"Attack!"
Although Tan Weiye was shocked, he knew that these guys alone couldn't deal with all these zombies. Tan Weiye yelled out the order, the 50,000 people launched a dynamic charge. All kinds of superfunction power flashed and glowed. Zombie roars and battle cries were mixed. The brawl began.
"Brother, crystal nuclei, my crystal nuclei… Don't you forget those…"
Thump! Thump!
Yun Cheng leaped out of the chaos and floated in the air. While he fired lightballs at the zombies, he kept reminding his brother of the collecting of crystal nuclei. Yun Che chopped off the heads of several zombies with one strike and looked up. His pupils constricted. "Why is Cheng floating in midair?" He wondered.
"Don't worry, I'm collecting the crystal nuclei for you. Stay close to us!"
Yun Che decided now wasn't the right time to ask. He just yelled back to Yun Cheng and took on more zombies coming for him. Not far away from him, Xing Feng had metalized his entire body. He span, randomly shooting bull golden bullets. The zombies couldn't get close to him at all, and their superfunction attacks were either blocked by the bullets or caused no damage to Xing Feng.
*Howl*
The Wolf King howled into the sky. He pounced at the zombies his sharp claws swept them. One strike could make several zombies stumble back. Meanwhile, Ye Xingchen aimed at the zombies on the Wolf King's back and shot the arrow right through their heads before the zombies steadied themselves.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Jiang Shang's body was also metalized. He brandished his lively golden ribbons with one hand and wielded the nine-chain whip with another. He swept the zombies like a scythe cutting the weed. His strikes were no weaker than Yun Che's lightning strike.
"Screw you!"
Zhao Gang, who used to discreet and careful, could finally attack with Wind Punch now that he was level 4. He punched rapidly, casting overpowering shockwaves of the punches. He now could kill several zombies with one punch.
"Zeyu, here!"
Chu Haoling threw out dozens of knives. Zhou Zeyu didn't even look before casting a gust of strong wind to enhance the small knives. As if navigated, the lethal burning blades scattered and stabbed right into the zombies' heads. Zhou Zeyu and fire superfunction possessors made the perfect match.
Boom!
Meng Gang was fiercer. His conjured formidable water dragon dashed at the zombies. The dark-red zombie blood contaminated the crystal clear water right away. To his back, Meng Xu, normally a shy guy, held the Blood-dissolving Vine tightly. He boosted the Vine to lash at the zombies. The Vine would tie the zombies up and stab into the crucial parts of their bodies. Two thick Vines shot right into the zombie herd. All nearby zombies were entangled, they couldn't break loose no matter how hard they struggled.
*Roaaaar*
Zhan Yafei the earth superfunction possessor used sandification superfunction to stagnate the zombies and conjured large clods to bash the zombies' heads. All the guards who were in charge of shift control on the wall were astounded. "Who are these people? Where do you come from? They're level-4 at most, why are they so powerful?"
"Come on, uncle! Kill these zombies! Kill them all!"
On the temporary commanding turret, Chenchen hopped and clapped, showing no sign of fear. The old admiral had gotten used to this, but the security guards and soldiers around them were shocked by the exciting chubby kid. "What are these people? The adults are formidable, even the kid is fearless. What the hell?"
"Uncle Heiyu, why aren't you saying anything?"
Usually, Heiyu would cheer for the guys, but this day, he was weirdly quiet.
Even Chenchen noticed, so there had to be something wrong with Heiyu.
"I just don't feel like it."
Heiyu lazily lay on the ground next to Chenchen. He took a glance at the battle down there. The humans had made considerable progress mainly because the zombies couldn't do anything about the Super Zombie, as they would be intimidated naturally by the level discrepancy, their superfunction power and the ability to move would be weakened. With the zombies' advantages being neutralized, the battle had become much easier even for the superfunction possessors from the Coastal Base. Heiyu didn't need to worry about them, what he worried about was…
Heiyu looked over into the distance when he thought of it, his eyes shimmered, but soon returned to calmness and laziness. "Well, it's none of my business, none of master's business."
"Too strong, they're too strong. My base has hope!"
The old admiral stood up in agitation as he witnessed the zombies being crushed. Tears glittered in his eyes, the Coastal Base could be saved…
"Old man, don't get carried away. They'll get tired but the zombies won't."
Although Heiyu wasn't in the mood, he was cynical as usual. The old man froze for a while after Heiyu bummed him out. He then turned to Heiyu and replied, "I'm aware that they'll get tired, but I'm still pleased, at least we have hope. The millions of survivors in the Coastal Base has a chance to stay alive."
No hardships would daunt mankind, but the endless dark would. But even just the smallest glimmer of hope would grant them the courage to face adversities. Right now, to the Coastal Base survivors, Chaoyang and Peak were the glimmer of hope. Admiral Tan believed that they brought the silver lining to the Coastal Base and that the zombies out there would be destroyed.
"Humans are annoying."
Heiyu slowly got up and transformed into the size of a regular mastiff. "Chenchen, do you wanna go down there to see your nuclei?"
It could be Heiyu's showtime, so it would be un-Heiyu if he just sat on his ass watching.
"OK; no! Uncle Che will be mad. I'm staying here with grandpa."
Chenchen naturally agreed but soon shook his head and waved his hands as if Heiyu was actually going to take him away. Admiral Tan hurriedly held his hand. "You're Heiyu, right? Chenchen is still a boy, he doesn't need to go down there. If you want to help, just go. I'll protect Chenchen."
It was the first time the old man spoke to a dog, this surely would be somewhat awkward.
"Well, whatever, I'll stay here to protect you two weak humans, or else my master will dock my energy bars again."
Heiyu looked back at them. He was pumped a moment ago, but now he was dispirited and transformed back into a puppy. He was in a mood, after all, otherwise, he would have charged down there as the mighty god beast.
Boooom!
"Hold the fire. Back up 5 meters!"
The intense, heated battle lasted for more than an hour. After throwing out another streak of lightning, Yun Che gave the order through the walkie-talkie because he realized that the overall superfunction reserve was running low. He stomped on the ground, his slim body dashed up. Yun Che fended off the attacks from the zombies and got close to Yun Cheng. "Cheng, we need to rest and replenish. Don't attack them, just intimidate them."
"Yeah, sure!"
Yun Cheng ceased the attack after a nod. He closed his eyes for a while. When his eyes re-opened, the invisible Overbearing Airs emanated from him. The zombies were scared of them even he didn't do anything. Now that he deliberately released his airs, all the zombies froze in confusion.
