Chapter 837: Reinforcements Arrive
The small zombie marine creatures have no destination, no goal; they simply surge toward the land.
Any creature emanating the scent of blood and flesh can excite them immensely. Like every zombie, they madly pounce forward.
The speed of marine creatures is greatly reduced on land, giving some creatures a high chance of escape, but there are unsafe areas even on land.
Besides the zombie marine creatures, there are more zombies.
For a moment, people were in panic.
Those huge zombie marine creatures layer upon layer on the sea surface; once they land, it will be a huge disaster for the survivors.
Not to mention having to be wary of the countless zombies on land.
Humans appear even more insignificant.
Even if there are medicine pills that prevent zombie virus infection, they cannot withstand the zombies’ bloodthirsty mouths.
If a person loses too much blood or gets bitten to pieces, they will also lose their life.
The superpower users of the teams that make up the safety base wore grim expressions.
It’s not that they must fight for the survivors, but they have no retreat.
The base commander stood among the crowd, and the powerful fluctuating superpower on his body brought a slight sense of safety to everyone.
But the overwhelming pressure still came rushing in.
Superpower users who went out on missions have already seen the commotion at the seaside, and the messages sent back were far from good.
They want to run but find no place to escape.
This is already the largest safety base in Shanghai. If it can’t be defended, this whole area is doomed.
Bai Xiqin and others arrived at the front of the base building, where rows of superpower users stood, ready at any time.
Initiating an attack is almost impossible; there are simply too many zombie marine creatures.
Everyone believed the base commander’s order would be to hold the Yunhua Safety Base.
But—
“The superpower users will be divided into seven major teams, each with two hundred people. One team will remain to guard the safety base, and the other six teams will go to the seaside with me to eliminate those zombie marine creatures!”
The base commander’s voice was firm and full of unquestionable authority.
Silence—
Everyone looked at the base commander in disbelief, thinking they had heard wrong.
Only one team will be left to guard the safety base?
What if the zombie swarm launches a surprise attack?
Furthermore, not all zombies are blockheads; there are high-rank zombies.
If those high-rank zombies see a large number of superpower users leave, surely they will attack the safety base, and it would easily fall!
Even though everyone has taken medicine pills, there’s no need to seek death!
If they fight the zombie marine creatures to the end, everyone feels there’s still hope, as long as the safety base is defended.
It’s just that it will be much more difficult to go out and search for supplies in the future, which is far better than complete extermination.
Even Song Hongfei couldn’t help but glance at the base commander, suspecting he had heard wrong.
Clearly, this was not a wise decision, because high-rank zombies are not foolish; they never give humans a chance to breathe.
“I know everyone is questioning my decision, worried about the base’s downfall, but I want to tell you, relying solely on the power of superpower users, there’s absolutely no way to resist the monsters in the ocean.”
“The number of monsters in the ocean is far greater than the total number of humans on land plus zombies. If the creatures in the sea want to conquer land and become the rulers of Earth, if we don’t resist this time, we indeed won’t have any chance of winning.”
The base commander’s voice was clearly heard by everyone.
As long as you are not foolish, you can understand the base commander’s words, which are indeed facts.
The marine creatures are far too numerous, and those zombie marine creatures can survive without seawater.
Like the zombie whales, they can tirelessly slap with their massive bodies on the ground, and if they manage to enter the safety base, they would effortlessly destroy it.
Crushing everything.
And the large-tonnage zombie marine creatures in the ocean constitute a very terrifying quantity.
Frighteningly, as the rank of zombie marine creatures increases, their intelligence will also grow.
All intelligent life has a certain gene in its bones, that is to seize territory.
This makes no sense at all, as long as the opponent is weak, any powerful life form would not give up the opportunity.
Upon hearing the base commander’s words, the superpower users collectively chose silence.
In their view, this charge leads only to no return, and the safety base is bound to fall.
The chance of success is one in a thousand.
Yet there was no rebuttal.
This is a situation leading surely to death.
“I know some people are wondering why not hold the safety base firmly, preserving life a bit longer, as the probability of winning if we go out to fight is very slim.”
“I want to tell everyone, this time we are not fighting alone; all coastal safety bases are engaged in the battle.”
The base commander paused slightly here, and his expression turned much more serious.
“Furthermore, we have reinforcements.”
Upon hearing the word reinforcements, everyone widened their eyes, fixedly gazing at the base commander.
Do they have reinforcements?
Is it the Alliance’s people?
Or superpower users from other safety bases?
But under these circumstances, certainly no superpower users would be willing to leave their own safety base to defend another’s.
Everyone is busy with their own issues.
The base commander said nothing more and glanced to his side.
A man dressed in casual white attire slowly walked over, a faint smile on his face, appearing warm and sunny.
Without a trace of hostility.
Like a college student, at a glance, he resembles an excellent student who excels in both studies and conduct.
The Bai Family looked at Zhang Yiming on the stage, exchanging glances and seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.
Has Zhang Yiming’s negotiation with Captain Zhang reached this stage?
The superpower users looked at the man standing beside the base commander with slight curiosity.
Is this the reinforcements?
A delicate good student type?
The kind that would cry for a long time if punched?
Just as Zhang Yiming stood, another handsome man resembling a decorative vase strode over.
It was Captain Zhang.
His face was somewhat serious, dressed in a clean and neat suit, walking straight-backed, full of uprightness.
“This is the Commander of the Human Survivor Alliance, Zhang Gong, I’m sure everyone has heard his name over the radio.”
The base commander introduced Captain Zhang first.
“Captain Zhang is here; it means the Alliance is here to support us!”
“Now we’re saved!”
A cheer erupted from the crowd, though some clear-headed superpower users still bore a hint of worry between their brows.
It’s a good thing the Alliance sent people, and Captain Zhang’s strength is undoubtedly firm.
But, can human power really defeat so many zombie marine creatures?
Their number and size are far too large for humans.
Captain Zhang slightly raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to quiet down.
“Next, I will formally introduce the person beside me to everyone.”
Captain Zhang slightly extended a hand to Zhang Yiming, and Zhang Yiming politely extended his hand as well, the two hands clasped together.
One hand was cold, without any temperature.
One hand had a human warmth.
Both hands could feel the other’s temperature.
“His name is Zhang Yiming, the zombie with the most powerful brain waves among all zombies, and he is the leader of the zombies.”
