Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Saving People
Su Jin looked down at the massive army of zombies below and felt a bit itchy inside. She really wanted Xiao Cui to eat a bit more, and she also wanted to try how many plants Xiao Cui could control to consume the zombies at the same time.
She tried to communicate with Xiao Cui and felt Xiao Cui’s eagerness. She couldn’t help but say in her heart, “Today, I’ll let you have a good feast!”
“I think…”
Before Su Jin could finish, Lu Hao burst into laughter.
“We’ll do it together,”
Lu Hao spoke the second half of her sentence for her.
...
“Ah? I’m going down too?”
Lin Xiuyuan, who was nearby, overheard their conversation and hurriedly came over to say.
“Xiao Jin, Xiao Hao, we…”
Family members who heard them also expressed their desire to join them, but Su Jin and Lu Hao refused.
“The situation down there is still unstable, you guys just wait up here for now. We’ll go down after it stabilizes,” Su Jin said seriously.
She just wanted to plant some flowers down there and didn’t plan to let the whole family risk their lives to take the lead and play heroes. With Lu Hao and her capability, even if they were in danger below, they had the ability to protect themselves.
So now is not the time.
Liang Jiuhui opened the city gate only a crack that could barely fit one person through, but even that small crack made the zombies outside the gate fence even more excited.
The 30 members of the guard squad were also ready to sacrifice themselves at any moment. To say they weren’t afraid would be a lie. They weren’t trying to be heroes, but with the base leader standing with them, they had no reason to shrink back!
“Yes!”
A loud chorus of replies made Li Haochu’s eyes redden. These were the soldiers he had trained. If possible, he was even willing to die in their place.
Liang Jiuhui’s division of labor was very clear and simple.
First, the Earth Element and Metal Element ability users were to fortify the fence while the remaining Fire, Ice, and Thunder Element ability users provided cover with their abilities.
Liang Jiuhui clenched his fists; he would lead the front line!
“Big brother!”
Liang Jiuqing ran to the bottom of the city wall just in time to see Liang Jiuhui walking out through the city gate. She wanted to run out too but was stopped by Sheng Jing standing beside her.
“All we can do now is to support his decision,”
Sheng Jing said to a worried Liang Jiuqing. They didn’t have long-range attack abilities, so going out now would only hold others back. All they could do was silently support them from behind.
The fence was only two meters high, and some zombies were already eagerly clambering over it from the outside.
A few Fire Element ability users stood at the city gate and eliminated those zombies before the Metal Element and Earth Element ability users followed orders and stood in the front to reinforce the fence.
Up on the city walls, guard squad members with guns also helped cover those below, but because of the distance, they dared not shoot recklessly.
At that moment, there were cries of alarm from the wall; many mutated zombies had jumped in and started attacking the guard squad members!
Some of the mutated zombies outside the fence began throwing their abilities at the people inside.
“Cover!”
Liang Jiuhui shouted loudly.
A Metal Element guard squad member had already bitten his lip until it bled. The Earth Element ability user beside him had his skull lifted open by a Metal Element mutated zombie; it might be his turn next.
On the city walls, special ability users couldn’t help but release their abilities toward the ground below. However, at such a distance, they couldn’t even aim at the zombies’ heads, let alone help the guard squad members below.
Watching their companions struggle with the zombies below, many guard squad members felt their eyes redden. They, too, wanted to go down and save them, but there was an even more critical task waiting for them behind.
The Metal Element guard squad member behind the fence didn’t experience the pain he was expecting. Startled, he watched the dark green vine that had blocked at his side.
Was this Wood Element?!
!!!
But there were no Wood Element ability users among their guard squad.
Liang Jiuhui noticed the situation here as well, and he hadn’t expected Su Jin and Lu Hao to appear and help at this time. His heart was filled with mixed emotions, and if he managed to survive, he would definitely reward them with a large bunch of Crystal Cores.
“It’s Su Jin and Captain Lu!” Liao Yifan shouted excitedly.
Seeing the mutated zombie’s head being pierced by the wooden vines, everyone on the city wall also breathed a sigh of relief in unison. Some of them recognized the person, she was the beautiful Wood Element lecturer from the lecture!
But it was just two more people helping them.
“We should go down and help, too!”
Seeing that non-guard squad ability users were going down to help, several hot-blooded special ability users also wanted to join them.
“My god, what kind of move is that?”
The exclamations of amazement made those preparing to go down to help involuntarily look down, only to see a Fire Element ability user unleashing a supremely powerful flame attack, which instantly erected a wall of fire that was even taller than the fence outside!
And what shocked them even more came next. With just a wave of that man’s hand, the wall of fire spread rapidly backward like it was doused in gasoline and grew more and more intense!
“It’s the Mysterious Fire Fan!”
Nie Qing cried tears of joy; his precious fan was finally put to good use!
