Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Doomed Together
"I’ve heard that Captain Zhang could defeat superpower users from other countries?"
As soon as the topic came up, Bai Yifan couldn’t hold back.
Hearing Zhong Beihai’s exclamation, an image of a super powerful person with dead fish eyes immediately popped up in Bai Yifan’s mind.
The aura of a young teen hit him instantly.
Leng Yebai saw Bai Yifan join the conversation and calmly moved away from the base commander to be by Bai Xiqin’s side.
"Of course, otherwise how could Captain Zhang become the head of the Human Survivor Alliance? Even the most formidable superpower users can only be deputy captains. Captain Zhang alone defeated all the powerful superpower users outside!"
Zhong Beihai wore a slightly proud expression as he said this.
"The name Zhang Gong sounds so familiar! What did he do before? Was he within the system?"
Wang Yiyun touched her chin, feeling that the name Zhang Gong was very familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard it.
Bai Xiqin’s eyes flickered slightly; she thought she felt familiar with Captain Zhang’s name because she was a reborn person.
Unexpectedly, her mom also found it familiar.
"Captain Zhang is the greatest person in this world."
A cold-faced man who had been following Zhong Beihai showed a hint of respect in his eyes when he heard Captain Zhang’s name.
For someone like him, with strong power and little emotional expressiveness, admiring someone meant that person was truly worthy of respect.
"He’s better than anyone else. No one knows what Captain Zhang did before, but he did a lot for the Alliance. He went to many places alone, fought many superpower users, and was lonely yet determined. It’s hard for ordinary people to have such strong awareness."
Zhong Beihai had more interactions with Captain Zhang and saw things more clearly from the rise of the Human Survivor Alliance to now.
If it weren’t for Captain Zhang, the world would have been in a worse state.
Some places might have already become a paradise for zombies.
Listening to Zhong Beihai’s tone, Bai Xiqin could sense the elder’s appreciation and contentment.
Just hearing about Captain Zhang’s deeds and his reaction when he came to the safety base was enough for Bai Xiqin to think Captain Zhang was a good person.
The only thing she couldn’t figure out was where she had heard the name Zhang Gong before.
Shhh—
There wasn’t much time for Bai Xiqin to think about where she had heard the name when the sound of flytrap leaves moving came from ahead.
Everyone looked up, and for a moment, their expressions froze.
What they saw was all flytrap leaves, each the size of a human body, layered and blocking the sky.
About to overshadow the thriving ancient trees beside them.
Sturdy roots buried in the soil, the entire land was covered with flytraps.
The flytrap leaves swayed slowly in the air, ready to swoop down on the group at any moment.
"Damn! So many!"
The base commander was taken aback.
Countless flytrap leaves floated in the air, with dark gunk dripping sporadically to the ground, leaving the ground full of corroded holes.
Those with trypophobia would kneel and end themselves immediately after seeing this.
Zhong Beihai’s six bodyguards were the first to spring into action, releasing powerful superpowers from their bodies simultaneously.
As the flytrap leaves prepared to strike, a multitude of attacks rained down on the mutated flytraps.
The base commander and the Bai Family weren’t idle either; red, white, and purple superpowers crackled towards the flytrap leaves.
Bai Xiqin controlled numerous steel needles, specifically targeting the root stems of the flytrap leaves, with thousands falling, showing the most evident effect.
Every superpower user fighting was of Fourth Rank and above, creating a violent energy storm within dozens of meters.
For a moment, the surrounding mountains went silent.
The base commander, the Bai Family, and the six bodyguards combined to thirteen high rank superpower users, even the vast variety of mutated plants on Ancient Kunlun Mountain trembled before this energy wave.
Thirteen superpower users above Fourth Rank, enough to capture a moderately strong safety base!
Large swathes of flytrap leaves fell, with the stench and burnt smell mixing, and thick black smoke drifted towards the blue sky.
Even so, countless flytrap leaves still attacked the Bai Family simultaneously.
The flytraps were simply too numerous, giant mutated plants with each attack as strong as a Second Rank zombie.
An Earth Ability User stood close to Zhong Beihai, firmly crafting a dirt wall for protection.
Bai Yifan knew his little dagger was useless and, not wanting to cause trouble, decisively clung to Zhong Beihai’s arm.
Seeking protection.
The bodyguards shielded Bai Yifan as well.
"What a spectacular sight!"
Bai Yifan’s face showed no fear; since his dad, mom, grandparents, and big sister were here, even if they died, they would go together.
When they go down below, they wouldn’t be alone as they’d still rely on family.
But Old Master Zhong Beihai’s face bore a hint of worry.
"I hope this journey succeeds."
Zhong Beihai’s face didn’t look good.
The flytrap leaves in front almost broke through the Earth Ability User’s dirt wall, with black goo corroding the wall and threatening the final defense line.
He couldn’t die yet.
He wasn’t afraid of death before, but now he couldn’t die.
He had to find the plant that could synthesize a cure for the zombie virus and see survivors injected with the virus antidote.
His life had mostly been without desires, but now, at life’s end, when he could die peacefully, the world changed.
His sole remaining wish was to develop the antidote.
"Don’t worry, everything will be alright!"
Bai Yifan sensed Old Master Zhong Beihai trembling, and quickly patted the old man’s back lightly.
"Sigh." Zhong Beihai sighed softly, his voice tinged with sadness, "With so many mutations in the mountain, I don’t even know if I can get out. If not, if you find the mutated plant, can you give it to Captain Zhang?"
The overwhelming smell of black goo made Zhong Beihai feel his life was short.
Yet, with a heart set on the future of human survivors, he held onto Bai Yifan’s arm, speaking dejectedly.
"Don’t worry, you certainly won’t die! My older sister is really amazing!" Bai Yifan’s voice held a note of pride, "We’ll head out together by then."
Bai Yifan spoke, his chin raised, emanating pride all over.
Zhong Beihai was almost convinced that Bai Xiqin was a goddess.
He glanced towards Bai Xiqin’s direction.
His heart dropped.
The number of flytrap leaves seemed to have increased, and the many high rank superpower users were showing fatigue, slowly retreating.
"All my assets are in the Alliance. If you make it out, tell Captain Zhang to donate them to those kids in the Alliance!"
Zhong Beihai swallowed, regretting the ginseng in his pocket.
They could have made some medicine pills for the kids in the Alliance.
"Don’t worry, if we can’t get out, no one can. We’ll all cool off together, but we can choose to lick the goo on the ground first, so that turning into zombies won’t hurt upon death!"
Bai Yifan earnestly analyzed.
Zhong Beihai: ...
His heart chilled further, trembling even more.
"Xiao Niu!"
Liu Jing’s cry of alarm came.
