Chapter 506: Chapter 506: Stereotype
"That’s great! We finally wiped out the Speed Element zombies here!"
"Lysander, not bad, kid. We really have you to thank for this one."
Everyone turned, cheering, and walked toward the supply vehicle on the side.
The glory of slaying the Speed Element zombies belongs to the living.
No one gave another glance at the mangled corpses.
And it seemed everyone was already used to it.
"I hear the Vornholt here used to be a grain cooperative. It has all sorts of supplies, and grain is the most precious resource of all!"
"Those supplies should be ours. Why should Drakonia have so many resources?"
"Have the Space Superpower Users get ready. Remember to protect them well. We can’t have any screw-ups at the last minute."
"Yes, sir!"
Meanwhile, in the monitoring room, Nina Jacobs also gave a command, having Gordon translate for her sentence by sentence.
Gordon’s tone was mechanical, but he translated everything he heard nonetheless.
’The last minute?’
Nina Jacobs smiled.
’This is only the beginning.’
The human corpses on the roadside stirred, and a zombie animal slightly larger than a Zombie Rat crawled out from among the bodies.
Its incisors were sharp, tearing rapidly into a chunk of flesh. The months since the apocalypse had allowed them to evolve and adapt ever more to this world.
The people who had turned away and let down their guard hadn’t noticed this yet.
Sensing the scent of fresh, living humans, one rotten or shriveled zombie vole after another darted swiftly in the direction the people had gone!
"Watch out!"
"AHH!!"
"It’s Zombie Rats! How are there more Zombie Rats?! Weren’t they all cleared out before?"
"No, these are voles! Zombie voles!"
"Fall back! Retreat, now!
Contact the monitoring room! Tell Gordon to bring reinforcements immediately!"
Several Superpowers erupted, joined by blasts from a Flame Scanning Gun, all aimed at the zombie voles.
But there were too many of them. For every batch of zombie voles killed, another appeared, and they were still gathering continuously from all sides.
With no sign of reinforcements, the leaders had no choice but to lead their people in a retreat.
"Protect the supply trucks! The Space Superpower Users can’t get hurt!"
The man who had been called "sir" shouted.
Nina Jacobs also noticed the two incredibly sturdy armored vehicles they were protecting.
The two armored vehicles had clearly been modified, with thick steel plates and a protective layer of special material added to their bodies.
She deduced that the Space Superpower Users they were protecting were inside.
This was also clear from Gordon’s translation of their conversations.
These people had been killing zombies in Mirewood for three days.
At the very beginning, they used bait to lure out all the Zombie Rats in the town, then used a Flamethrower to exterminate them.
Today was the third day they had spent clearing out zombies in the county town.
Nina Jacobs believed the sudden appearance of these zombie voles was most likely due to the smell of blood from the intersection just now.
The equipment those people had was quite complete. Nina Jacobs noticed a Space Superpower User had already taken out a helicopter.
At this point, machine gunners were providing cover for the retreat of key personnel.
Nina Jacobs hesitated no longer and commanded Gordon:
"Go draw them over here. Tell them we’re here to help."
She retracted the Diamond Sand Cover, and the two of them followed Gordon out of the vehicle.
"Gordon? What took you so long!"
Lysander’s face was a mess. If he hadn’t been quick-witted enough to pull someone else in front of him as a shield just now, he’d definitely be dead.
"Gordon, where are the reinforcements?
And who are these two?!"
The man previously called "sir" also hurried over to ask.
Gordon’s expression was wooden, but the situation was urgent, so no one noticed his strangeness.
"They are here to help us. Everyone, please follow me."
As Gordon finished speaking mechanically, Nina Jacobs had already condensed a large swath of Superpower Fire, burning all the zombie voles emerging from the ground to ash.
The walls on both sides were also covered in a spiderweb-like Thunder Net, instantly blocking the zombie voles’ attack.
Seeing this, Corbin and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief.
They had already used up most of their Superpowers, and with the drain from fighting the Speed Element zombie, they were now at the end of their ropes.
But if they left by helicopter, these past few days of effort might all be for nothing.
Now Gordon had found two powerful experts with plenty of Superpower. As long as they could withstand this wave of zombie voles, they could go and collect the supplies here!
"Quick! Everyone, follow Gordon!"
Corbin shouted.
Nina Jacobs and Wayne Warner said nothing, just relentlessly killed the swarming Zombie Rats.
"Thank you! Thank you, friendly Drakonians, for saving us!"
Corbin said from behind them in broken Drakonian.
Nina Jacobs’s lips curled into a slight smile. She saw that the two armored vehicles had also been driven over.
’As expected,’ she thought. ’These people couldn’t bear to part with the supplies here, so they gave up on escaping by helicopter.’
The strength of Nina Jacobs and Wayne Warner soon caught the attention of Corbin and his men.
"What are they saying?"
Nina Jacobs called Gordon over and asked.
Gordon stood in place and translated mechanically:
"Those two Drakonians are terrifyingly strong. Once the zombie voles are dealt with, we must kill them first..."
"Such powerful Superpower Users must not be left to Drakonia..."
"What’s up with Gordon? And where are the others?"
"They should still be guarding the entrance. There are still a lot of Drakonian survivors who want to enter Mirewood..."
Gordon only translated their exact words, but Nina Jacobs understood everything.
These people had just been thanking her with faces full of gratitude, but the next moment they were plotting to eliminate her. It truly fit her stereotype of people from Veridia.
Nina Jacobs waved her hand, summoning two orange-yellow Fire Serpents.
The Fire Serpents looked like two fire dragons. As they flew over the heads of the Veridians, they seemed to radiate an arrogant fury, causing Corbin and the others to feel an inexplicable fear.
BOOM!
The Fire Serpents intertwined amidst a group of zombie voles, then transformed into a Fire Dragon Roll. The fiery tornado seemed to have some kind of suction, pulling in all the surrounding zombie voles and burning them to ash!
Meanwhile, Wayne Warner’s Thunder Element Superpower had an even wider range. The Thunder Element was inherently suited for area-of-effect attacks, and the zombie voles within a radius of several hundred meters were almost instantly eliminated!
Corbin and his men stared at the backs of the two figures in front of them, their faces etched with shock.
They saw the woman seem to whisper something in Gordon’s ear, after which Gordon turned and walked toward them.
"Gordon, where on earth did you find these helpers?
Drakonians really are so easy to fool..."
Lysander said as he walked up to Gordon.
But his words came to an abrupt halt. He stared in disbelief at Gordon, who had just stabbed him through the chest, then slowly fell backward.
"Gordon! What do you think you’re doing!"
Corbin and the others also saw this shocking scene, and then Gordon swung the Fireball in his hand and attacked them!
"It’s those two Drakonians! It’s their doing!
They must have used some kind of witchcraft!"
someone shouted in a panic.
But Nina Jacobs couldn’t understand their words. She just watched them fighting Gordon.
"What did you do to him!"
Corbin shouted at Nina Jacobs.
This sentence, Nina Jacobs understood.
"What I did to him isn’t important. What’s important is what you did.
You will pay back double for every Drakonian you used as bait three days ago!
Your lives and your supplies—I’m taking them all!"
As Nina Jacobs finished speaking, more than ten Little Zombie Rats leaped up from behind her.
