Xiao Hen raced back to Lingcheng Base at high speed. When he saw the people crowded at the entrance of the base, he wished he could bring the civilization base’s loudspeakers and tell them at the top of his voice, ‘The zombie tide is coming, why are you still stuck here?!’
“Get out of the way! Move aside!” Xiao Hen did not slow down and kept honking his horn.
The people crowded at the entrance of the base stepped aside one after another, and the off-road vehicle rushed in, followed by the base guards chasing after them.
Xiao Hen kept driving and shouting, “The zombie tide is coming! Everyone run east! To the east!”
Pedestrians on the street stopped one after another, uncertain of the truth of the news. Those who had already thought about leaving did not think about anything else and rushed forward to pick up their family members or drove themselves away. They listened to Xiao Hen’s words and left through the east gate.
The base was in chaos for a while.
Miao Bo, who had investigated the situation outside, had already reported it to Fang Shenlong.
As soon as Xiao Hen’s off-road vehicle arrived at the command post, Fang Shenlong’s men surrounded him.
Fang Shenlong’s face looked very ugly. “Colonel Xiao’s actions are too much! He has made the whole base panic. What do you want to do?!”
Xiao Hen’s face was even more ugly than his. “The zombie tide is coming soon. I hope you can immediately organize the survivors to evacuate!”
Fang Shenlong said, “I cannot give up Ling City Base! What about Colonel Yin? He promised to stay with us to defend Ling City Base!”
“He has already led people to evacuate to the south. Even if he comes, it will be useless! All the zombies in Ling City have been mobilized. I don’t care what your intentions are, but if you want to stay behind, you can stay behind. Don’t let other people follow you to their deaths! Ling City Base cannot be defended. Leave immediately!” Xiao Hen said firmly.
Fang Shenlong was furious, his teeth grinding loudly. Ling City Base was built by him with great effort. How could he bear to give it up like this?!
Fang Shenlong still clung to hope. “What about Doctor Wen? Is he really not going to do anything?”
“I’m telling you to organize an evacuation immediately!” Xiao Hen said angrily.
Xiao Hen had never heard of the “General” that Wen Qingling had mentioned. A Level 6 evolved “leader” was already terrifying enough, and a Level 7 evolved “turret” was even more terrifying. This “General” was highly likely to be a newly evolved Level 8 evolved creature!
What exactly is that terrifying existence, no one knows now. Xiao Hen’s only option now is to evacuate the survivors! Wen Qingling said that there should be no living people within a radius of 100 miles, so they must run to a place 100 miles away!
Xiao Hen is now very worried about Wen Qingling. He has already realized that Wen Qingling may not be human, but he doesn’t know Wen Qingling’s level. He doesn’t know if he can survive freely in Ling City under the rule of the “General.”
Fang Shenlong is also angry. “Impossible! I can’t give up my base!”
Xiao Hen looked at the other team leaders. “What about you? Will you knowingly stay and die, or leave here and build another base elsewhere?”
Chang Boheng and Wen Chuyi were the first to stand up. “I will lead my people to evacuate the base immediately.”
“Go east and leave a hundred miles away from Ling City,” Xiao Hen said.
Chang Boheng nodded and left with Wen Chuyi and his squad and team leaders.
Other team leaders were also hesitant. If they could survive this time and take their people to another place to establish a new base and become the leader themselves, wouldn’t that be much better than being subordinate to others?
Immediately, several major team leaders left. They left, and their squad and team leaders followed.
“Xiao! Hen!” Fang Shenlong was furious and was about to draw his weapon but his right hand fell to the ground before he could even start.
Xiao Hen drew his sword incredibly quickly, too fast for the naked eye to catch.
Fang Shenlong hugged his right arm, screaming in pain.
Miao Bo was about to take action, but a long sword had already been placed on his neck. “Turn on the broadcast, immediately!”
Fang Shenlong roared, “Don’t turn it on! If we die, we all die together! No one should think about leaving!”
Fang Shenlong had already gone crazy. Those who were still hesitating no longer hesitated and left with their people, even Fang Shenlong’s confidants left.
No one wants to die here. They struggled to survive in the apocalypse until now, just to stay alive.
Miao Bo went to the broadcast and announced the news of the approaching zombie tide, urging people to run eastward, drive if they have a car, and run fast if they don’t.
When the broadcast sounded, the survivors at the entrance of the base had already seen the black tide-like zombie horde coming, rushing towards them. Everyone screamed and ran towards the base, and the gate guards closed the gate while rushing towards the east gate of the base.
Xiao Hen sheathed his knife and jumped onto his off-road vehicle, also heading towards the east gate.
There were too many people, and the east gate was so crowded that it was difficult to move even a step.
Xiao Hen shouted loudly, “Is there any earth-element ability user? Take down the wall!”
Finally, someone remembered that there was a way to dismantle the wall!
The zombie horde had already arrived, what use was there in keeping the intact wall?! Should they keep it for the New Year?!
There were earth-element ability users in the crowd, who immediately used their abilities to push down the wall. At the same time, another loud noise came from behind- it was an explosion!
Xiao Hen was shocked. Did these zombies have grenades in their hands?! Thinking of the weapons and ammunition that Wen Qingling snatched from the blood corpse, it didn’t seem strange for them to have grenades. However, it was strange for the zombies to use them to blow up walls!
“Run, run, run!!! Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!” Xiao Hen kept urging.
Everyone screamed and rushed forward, especially when they heard the screams coming from inside the base, it stimulated them even more.
The survivors began to kill and steal cars. For their own survival, they didn’t care if they let others die.
One person tried to steal a car from Xiao Hen, but had their wrist broken and was thrown aside by him. He stepped on the gas and drove past the fallen wall ruins, rushing eastward in his car!
Wen Qingling stood on the wooden city wall, looking at the distant east. The civilized zombies inside the base were all standing on the streets, and everyone felt uneasy. The suppression of high-level zombies had been enveloping them, making them unable to relax in the slightest.
Wen Qingling jumped down from the city wall. The “General” had already completed its evolution. What surprised Wen Qingling was that even an eighth-level evolved “General” could not suppress him.
Wen Qingling began to doubt his own identity again. Was he really a zombie? He couldn’t even be suppressed by an eighth-level evolved zombie. Was he on his way to becoming a god?
Although the “General” couldn’t suppress Wen Qingling, he could suppress all the other zombies, even the ones in South City.
Wen Qingling was very angry. All of his zombie subordinates were sent out by the “General,” and he became a commander without any troops!
The zombie soldiers who were trapped inside the city and unable to respond to the call were going crazy and scratching the walls. They didn’t even want the weapons and ammunition anymore, they just wanted to go out and respond to the call, to become loyal zombie dogs!
Wen Qingling was very angry. He had finally managed to control them and bring them back to the base, but they almost got snatched away by the “General.” Now, they were not grateful but were instead restless and itching to go out and eat people. Zombies without brains really can’t be relied upon.
Wen Qingling let everyone go back to their own homes and not go out hunting for the time being. He went home and brought a few large baskets of blood anemones. With a few people, he went to the outer city to transform the zombie soldiers, making them into conscious and dignified good zombies. Let’s see if they still want to go out and eat people!
The resurrected zombie soldiers with restored bodies and consciousness said, “No, forget about eating people. We’ll respond to the call and become good socialist zombies.”
During the time when the “General” was in power, the civilized zombies of the civilization base obediently stayed at home and did not go out, especially cooperating with their work.
After clearing the living within a hundred miles, the zombies all returned to Ling City.
Everyone went back to their own homes and found their own bosses, but the number of people who returned was far greater than when they had gone out.
After the “General” showed his power, Ling City returned to peace once again, as if nothing had changed, except that the evolved zombies were not just staying in the city center anymore; wherever one went in Ling City, one could see evolved zombies.
The ban on the civilization base was lifted and the civilized zombies were allowed to go out hunting again. Although they could eat some vegetables and grains, they couldn’t eat too much, and they couldn’t be the main dish. They still had to eat meat.
However, not even two days had passed before news of the death of civilized zombies came back.
At that time, Wen Qingling was cultivating blood anemones when a few people rushed over to tell him that Ah Dong and his wife had been eaten by the “ugly monsters”. The first to be attacked was Ah Dong’s wife. Ah Dong went up to save her, but they both ended up being eaten.
Before, the civilized zombies would go out hunting and get injured from time to time. However, the civilized zombies had self-healing abilities, as long as their heads were intact, they wouldn’t die. No matter how severe their injuries were, they could recover after a period of rest.
But this time, the base lost two people at once, directly eaten by the “ugly monster.”
Wen Qingling couldn’t just let it go. He quickly flew to the scene with his team, and the “ugly monster” was still there. There were two headless corpses on the ground, Ah Dong and his wife’s heads thrown aside, dead and unburied.
Wen Qingling’s eyes were cold, “Kill it!”
The civilized zombies that arrived surrounded the “ugly monster” and raised their weapons together to shoot.
Their aims were not very good, but with such a large target, they could hit it easily.
The heads of the “ugly monster” exploded one by one, and before they could grow back, they were blown up again. As long as they destroyed all its heads and then cut off its neck, they could eliminate it.
A furious roar came from the city center, and all the civilized zombies were instantly forced to kneel on the ground. The angry “ugly monster” lifted a wall and smashed it toward the civilized zombies on the ground.
Suddenly, a large net woven from vines appeared, trapping the “ugly monster” and half of the wall, pulling them backward, and the wall hit the “ugly monster” itself. Wen Qingling leaped high, exploded all the heads of the “ugly monster” with his weapon, caught the knife thrown by the civilized zombies, and cut off the “ugly monster’s” long neck, completely solving it.
The majesty of the “general” was provoked, and he roared in anger, causing all the zombies to fear and retreat, submitting.
Wen Qingling was also offended and roared back in anger!
The pressure exerted on the civilized zombies was released, and they all lifted their heads, stood up, and straightened their spines!
Wen Qingling dug out the crystals from each head of the “ugly monster” and brought the civilized zombies back to the base.
Afterward, the civilized zombies will collectively hunt and kill all evolved beings with their weapons, bombs, and hand grenades.
The evolved beings are the direct subordinates of the “General,” and are one level higher than ordinary zombies. Ordinary zombies are controlled by the “Leader,” who is in turn controlled by the “General.” Unfortunately, Wen Qingling is a special case, and all the civilized zombies within the civilization base are also special cases.
The civilized zombies all know the threat posed by the “General,” which constantly threatens their lives. They voluntarily take out their own stored crystal nuclei and give them to Wen Qingling to advance. Only by doing so can they avoid being wiped out by the “General.”
After absorbing all the crystal nuclei, Wen Qingling’s strength indeed increased again. His blood power became even stronger, and the strength of all the civilized zombies was raised by one level, from being close to second-level evolved beings to possessing the strength of second-level evolved beings.
The most important change is that the pressure of the “General” can no longer affect the civilized zombies.
They will no longer be suppressed by the pressure of higher-level zombies!
This breakthrough made all the civilized zombies very happy.
This happiness led them to discover an even more surprising thing – they can actually make facial expressions now!
However, they are still quite stiff, like having long-term facial paralysis, and have not yet learned how to make lively expressions.
This also gave the civilized zombies hope. As long as Wen Qingling’s strength continues to improve, they will become more and more close to humans.
Looking at Wen Qingling himself, he still has a paralyzed face. He saved others but could not save himself.
