Chapter 132 The Apocalyptic Boss Arrives (9)
Ji Xiaosong shook his head. "Even now, I'm still full of doubts. Although an antidote was developed in the tenth year of the apocalypse, I really can't judge whether it's effective or not. After all, it was never tested on me, so naturally, I can't get any definite results. Right now, we know nothing about too many elements. Take the source of this apocalypse, for example. Apart from speculating that it was caused by something from outer space, I can't think of any other reasonable explanation no matter how hard I try."
Since she said that, Gu Changqing didn't ask any more questions. He turned to the others and continued, "Our Yongfeng base is located south of the suburbs of Chenming City, so the most important thing right now is to solve the zombie problem in the city. Bases have also been established in other parts of the country for a long time, and their development is still under our control."
Gu Lin was the first to step forward, "Base Commander, I can lead the superpowered legion to deal with the zombies."
As he was speaking, he suddenly noticed something unusual about the room where the zombies were being held, which was displayed on the conference room screen.
"Oh no, the zombies have also developed superpowers, and they're the opposite of ours!"
Ji Xiaosong was the first to notice the difference in the room, and she immediately exclaimed in surprise.
The original owner of this body did not know when the zombie gained superpowers in its previous life, nor did Ji Xiaosong know.
The attention of the others was instantly drawn to the screen as they saw several zombies with superpowers appearing in the room, trying to use their abilities.
Other zombies without special abilities are not slow in their movements.
Gu Lin frowned. "At this rate, ordinary people simply can't fight against the zombies. We need to set off immediately."
This proposal received the support of Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing's expression was solemn, and he nodded decisively, saying, "Gu Lin, you will lead the superpowered legion to set off immediately. I will allocate all available transport vehicles and weapons within the base to ensure your logistical support is sufficient. At the same time, arrange for a communications team to maintain contact throughout the journey, and the base will provide full support should any difficult situations arise."
After saying that, Gu Changqing turned his gaze to Ji Xiaosong and said sincerely, "Miss Ji, as the strongest person with the highest level of superpower in the base, if you could go with us, it would greatly increase the chances of success in this operation. The ordinary people of Chenming City urgently need our rescue. Only by resolving the zombie crisis as soon as possible can they regain peace."
Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Xiaosong stood up, her eyes resolute: "It is my duty."
Then, everyone quickly sprang into action.
Alarms blared throughout the base as members of the superpowered legion assembled and boarded modified armored vehicles equipped with heavy weapons and ample ammunition.
Ji Xiaosong sat in the passenger seat of the first car, exuding a powerful aura of wood and ice elemental abilities, protecting the convoy.
The convoy sped towards Morning Cry City like a steel torrent.
Along the way, billowing dust rose as everyone stood ready for the fierce battle to come, determined to carve a bloody path for the ordinary people of Chenming City.
Their first stop was the hospital, where there were many people and also much-needed medical supplies.
As Gu Lin's armored vehicle crashed through the rusted iron gate of Chenming City People's Hospital, the vehicle's alarm suddenly emitted a sharp blare.
Through the bulletproof glass, he saw five or six zombies using a corrosive slime to dissolve the security bars on the third-floor window of the inpatient ward.
Ji Xiaosong suddenly pressed down on Gu Lin's hand holding the steering wheel, and ice crystal patterns immediately appeared on the back of Gu Lin's hand.
Almost simultaneously, a cloud of purple mist exploded outside the windshield, and Gu Lin's visual nerves were suddenly flooded with countless bloody hallucinations.
If Ji Xiaosong hadn't frozen the neurotoxin beforehand, he probably would have already stepped on the gas and crashed into the supporting pillar.
“A mutated psychic zombie has appeared. Even with your abilities, you can be affected. It seems that the zombie in the hospital is particularly powerful. I'll go scout ahead first. You guys go find the survivors.”
"Okay, be careful."
Before the armored vehicle had even come to a complete stop, Ji Xiaosong had already vanished into the passenger seat as a cloud of ice.
Gu Lin looked up and saw that the rooftop of the inpatient department had somehow formed an ice crystal dome with a diameter of 100 meters, with countless emerald vines spreading downwards along the ice surface.
When he used his wind-based powers to leap to the third floor, he witnessed a scene he would never forget—
Three winged zombies were spraying venom in the air, while Ji Xiaosong hovered in the center of the poisonous mist, standing on an ice lotus.
The ice beads that had formed on the tips of her hair suddenly exploded, each one turning into a miniature vortex that absorbed all the venom and then solidified into amethyst.
Even more shockingly, after the crystals landed, pale blue purifying grass grew from them, instantly breaking down the zombie remains in the corridor into points of light.
"Catch it!"
Ji Xiaosong suddenly threw an ice crystal longbow at Gu Lin.
As he instinctively pulled the bowstring, thorny vines suddenly sprouted from the bow and pierced his wrist.
Amidst the excruciating pain, Gu Lin's four supernatural abilities uncontrollably infused the arrow, and the four colors of light—metal, wood, water, and fire—merged into pure white energy at the tip of the arrow.
The winged zombie that was shot exploded instantly, and the excruciating pain in Gu Lin's hand slowly disappeared, and his strength seemed to be even greater than before.
Gu Lin's hand holding the ice crystal longbow trembled slightly. Just now, in the instant when the four elemental abilities merged, he seemed to have grasped the key to using his abilities.
When I saw Ji Xiaosong's figure floating on the ice lotus, my heart skipped a beat.
"There are three zombies behind the purification device in the southeast corner!"
Ji Xiaosong's clear voice startled him from his daze.
Gu Lin spun around and shot out three lightning arrows, the arcs of electricity instantly illuminating the entire hospital building along the vine network.
The moment the amethyst collided with the lightning, each ward exploded with an icy blue halo.
Three kills!
"Save us! Please save us!"
Desperate cries echoed through the hospital corridors, filled with fear and helplessness.
There are still many survivors in the hospital.
During this zombie crisis, they huddled in a corner, watching the horrific scene outside in terror, utterly exhausted both physically and mentally.
When Ji Xiaosong hovered in the center of the poisonous fog, stepping on the ice lotus and displaying his powerful strength, and when they saw the superhumans in military uniforms skillfully dealing with the zombies, every movement revealing professionalism and confidence, the survivors' eyes ignited with a spark of hope.
That military uniform was never just ordinary clothing in their eyes; it represented safety and strength, bringing a touch of warmth to their otherwise cold and desperate hearts.
They all rushed out of their hiding places and ran towards Ji Xiaosong and Gu Lin, shouting for help as they ran, as if getting close to these powerful figures would free them from the threat of zombies.
The screams of the survivors attracted a large number of zombies, who began to suddenly appear in various corners, becoming hunters.
There are no skills involved; it's all based on instinct.
The zombies rushed toward the moving people as quickly as possible.
