Chapter 264 The Zombie Army Arrives on the Battlefield
Seeing Song Lian and the others rushing over, the guard captain hurriedly scratched his head and explained, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Captain Shen and the others managed to get a large number of mutated trees from the mountain and plant them outside the base's walls. Now we'll be more confident in fighting zombies and defending the city!"
Upon hearing this, Song Lian hurriedly ran up to the city wall, grabbed a searchlight, and saw a long row of mutated trees stretching as far as the eye could see.
After getting off, Song Lian looked at Zhou Yang and the other two and gave them a thumbs up: "Brothers, you're awesome!"
"It's no big deal. Could you please explain this to the higher-ups? We still have to continue. We've only finished half of it; there's still half to go."
Song Lian immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Okay, leave it to me, you can go without worry."
So Zhou Yang and the other two left the base through the spruce tree and continued their tree-planting project.
It wasn't until late at night that they finally managed to fill the entire base except for the three main gates with plants.
However, embarrassingly, several more spruce trees appeared in Zhou Yang's space.
They couldn't possibly send the trees back to the mountains, and besides, the trees wouldn't want to go back. So the three of them had no choice but to go around to the main gate on the south side of the base and plant two rows of trees on both sides of the moat.
This time, the three of them didn't bother the guards again, but instead had one of the spruce trees by the wall carry them up.
As soon as they descended the city wall, they saw Gu Tianqi leading his men to guard the area below.
"Are you sure these mutated trees won't betray the base?"
After all, those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts, so Gu Tianqi was still uneasy after hearing Song Lian's report, and thus waited here specifically to ask him in person.
“Uncle Gu, we’ve communicated with these spruce trees. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship. They help us protect the base, and we regularly water them with a special nutrient solution made from crystal cores.”
Because the spring water cannot be exposed, Zhou Yang directly stated that it was a nutrient solution with crystal core properties.
Gu Tianqi was taken aback when he heard about crystal core nutrient solution: "Crystal cores can be made into nutrient solution? How is that done?"
"I discovered this by chance. I can use my spatial ability to grind the crystal cores into powder, then mix them into water to create a nutrient solution that is easier for mutated plants to absorb," Zhou Yang explained.
After hearing this, Gu Tianqi nodded, finally relieved.
……
The next day, when the residents of Baiji Mountain woke up, they found that their base was surrounded by a group of mutated trees, and they were all terrified.
Thinking to myself, "That's it! The zombies haven't even arrived yet, and I'm going to be eaten by the mutated plants first!"
The military personnel who had just woken up were also in a panic, but they were soon informed that it was the Qianlong Squad that had added an extra layer of protection to the base, which put their minds at ease.
Subsequently, the news was quickly disseminated by the military at the base.
The other survivors were also overjoyed upon hearing the news.
The base has an extra layer of protection, which means their survival rate will be higher during the siege.
However, this lighthearted atmosphere did not last long.
Around noon, the zombie army finally arrived at the battlefield.
Several kilometers away, the endless, dark army of zombies and the flocks of zombie birds circling overhead like dark clouds made those on the city walls and the tops of high-rise residential buildings feel breathless.
The zombies have arrived, and the Baijishan base has quickly entered a state of combat readiness.
All level 5 and above ability users were conscripted into the front-line defense team, while other level 4 and above ability users were responsible for guarding the city walls and the interior of the base to prevent zombie invasion.
Shen Zechuan and Chi Feng, as the only two late-stage Level 6 ability users in the entire base, are responsible for overseeing the entire base and preventing airspace intrusion.
Of course, Wang Yang, one of only two lightning-type ability users in the base, was directly assigned to Shen Zechuan for deployment.
As for ordinary people who are powerless, they were not idle either. Those who did not have a team were assigned to the logistics department to prepare supplies for the front line.
While everyone was preparing for battle, the zombie army outside gradually reached a point a hundred meters away from the base, and the full picture of the zombie army became clearer.
Millions of human zombies were mixed with countless zombie rats and other zombie animals, and the dust they raised lingered for a long time after they passed by.
The zombies flying in the air circled back and forth incessantly, accompanied by the sharp cries of birds that rose and fell, piercing the ears.
At this point, the distance between the two was sufficient for long-range shooting, but Bai Jishan and his group were not in a hurry, because there were hundreds or even thousands of landmines buried under the ground in front of the zombies.
As the zombie army approached, the first batch of landmines were detonated, and the zombies and zombie rats in the front row were blown to pieces.
But this loss was nothing to the zombie army, so the zombies continued to charge forward.
So the second batch of landmines, the third batch of landmines... until the last row of landmines less than a kilometer from the base were all detonated. Nearly 100,000 zombies were either blown up or trampled to death, but the zombie army still did not stop.
Moreover, attracted by the fresh flesh and blood in the Baijishan base, they became even more excited and manic, their beast-like roars echoing through the sky.
With the landmines depleted and the zombies temporarily out of their way, Gu Tianqi waved his hand and ordered the first large-scale cleanup operation to be carried out immediately.
A group of long-range ability users and a row of medium- and long-range missiles had been deployed on the walls of the Baijishan base long ago. Upon hearing the order, they immediately began to attack without restraint.
One after another, long-range superpowers were launched in combination with missiles, and a large number of zombies were immediately bombarded and felled. This was followed by a series of explosions caused by the stimulation of various superpowers.
This wave consumed hundreds of thousands of zombies.
But for a zombie army of millions, this is just a drop in the ocean.
As the zombie army drew closer, many zombies were already at the city gates.
However, due to the obstruction of the spruce trees in front, the zombies were pierced through by the spruce trees as soon as they got close, and they couldn't even cross the moat.
Seeing this, the group, who were initially worried about the mutated spruce tree, were now completely relieved and continued to focus on dealing with the large number of zombies behind them.
Those zombies that were too close were handed over to the mutated spruce tree and the comrades who were suitable for short-range attacks.
However, soon the zombie army arrived around the base and soon surrounded it completely.
Fortunately, Zhou Yang and his team had anticipated this situation, so they planted a whole circle of mutated spruce trees around the base.
For a time, the zombie army had no chance of even breaking into the base, let alone breaching the defenses of the mutated spruce trees.
Flying zombies and zombie birds can invade from above the base, but unexpectedly, the mutated spruce trees can grow taller and use their branches to intercept people directly in the air!
This rendered the metal mesh overhead and Shen Zechuan's lightning net temporarily useless.
