As the colossal creature fell in an instant, something suddenly dropped from its body.
Luo Xiao Le tried her best to ignore the pulpy, bloody corpse.
She picked up the object.
It turned out to be a badge, shimmering with an eerie silver light under the sudden sunlight.
Just as the badge of Luocheng Base resembled a setting sun, this badge also bore a very conspicuous pattern.
It was a golden, rising sun, burning brightly.
"This..." The others removed their sunglasses and rubbed their eyes again.
They had actually dealt with the behemoth that was impervious to any attack?!
Seeing Luo Xiao Le in action for the first time, everyone was greatly shocked.
"So this is Little A Luo..."
"Terrifying!"
"This is the strength of number one on the points leaderboard, I'm convinced!"
Everyone's gaze shifted to the seemingly inexhaustible weapon she had just used, the giant carnivorous plant family beside her, and the horde of zombies that hadn't attacked her.
Could a young girl handle this kind of inter-species combat power?
Then they saw Luo Xiao Le walking over, carrying the heavy-duty cannon.
Lifting the cannon platform... with one hand?
The crowd was horrified and retreated.
"Oh, I forgot to put it away." With a flick of her arm, the massive cannon barrel instantly vanished.
She hurried towards Zhou Shou Shan.
"Commander, are you alright?" She was indeed a little anxious. Seeing the monster put Zhou Shou Shan in its mouth just now, she had almost flown out of the car.
"Commander..."
One of Zhou Shou Shan's arms and legs had been bitten off by the monster. An ability user had stopped the bleeding, but the limbs were gone, leaving empty spaces.
Despite this, he hadn't uttered a sound of pain and looked at her with unwavering composure.
"I'll heal you!" Luo Xiao Le wiped her eyes, which were a little sore.
[Repair Skill Activated!]
"Ding, repair failed. Detected that the repair target is missing body parts and cannot be repaired."
The system's voice was chillingly cold.
Luo Xiao Le stood there as if struck by lightning.
Did this mean that if parts of the body were missing, regeneration was impossible?
But Zhou Shou Shan's arms and legs had already been eaten by the monster.
"I don't believe it!" Luo Xiao Le frantically scrolled through the system's dropdown list, only to discover that in the last option under body modification, there was an option for body reconstruction!
She let out a huge sigh of relief.
But the prerequisite for body reconstruction was unlocking all the preceding body attributes!
"!!!" Luo Xiao Le exclaimed, realizing she had to start her grueling grind of a worker's life again!
Only by maxing out her body attributes could she unlock the body reconstruction function and reattach the Commander's legs and arms.
But she felt it was worth it.
So, she would work hard!
"I'm fine." Seeing Luo Xiao Le's expression, Zhou Shou Shan immediately understood. "Don't worry about it."
He gave a faint smile and comforted Luo Xiao Le, "I still have another arm to use, and if I lose all four limbs, my brain can still think. Don't worry, I can still contribute for another decade or two, haha."
But when the others heard his words, they couldn't laugh and secretly wiped away their tears.
"Commander..."
If it hadn't been for Zhou Shou Shan today, they would have been captured and eaten.
If Luo Xiao Le hadn't returned in time, Luocheng Base would have become a desolate city of ruin.
Looking at the two people before them, their respect deepened, and their hearts were filled with emotion.
...
Luocheng Base was no stranger to post-disaster reconstruction.
Although the recent blow had been fierce, after the situation stabilized, Zhou Shou Shan quickly brought back the relocated residents.
Everything resumed its orderly operation.
Luo Xiao Le, however, was in Zhou Shou Shan's office, staring blankly at the badge.
"Do you recognize this badge?" She casually placed the badge on Zhou Shou Shan's desk.
Zhou Shou Shan's pupils constricted.
Recently, survivor bases in major cities had been gradually improving, and communication between them had begun.
In a recent letter, his old friend Qin Li had asked him to escort his son, Qin Ming Yang, back to Luocheng Base.
At the end of the letter, there was exactly such a symbol.
That was the symbol of the Capital City Base!
"How did you get this?" Zhou Shou Shan asked curiously.
Luo Xiao Le remained silent for a long time.
"...It was on that monster."
Zhou Shou Shan's surprised expression was evident.
The monster had no hoarding habits, and this was the only item on its body, proving that it hadn't eaten people from the Capital City, but rather had a close connection with it.
"Beep beep..." A document resembling a fax suddenly sounded.
Zhou Shou Shan took out the document and his expression became even more solemn.
"The Capital City Base says that a zombie king has recently gone berserk and attacked their city. They have already contacted and destroyed several bases around them. They have gathered other bases to join forces and prepare to eliminate... the zombie king..."
Zhou Shou Shan's hand clenched the document tightly. "The Fengcheng Base you saw, was it also..." His reaction was incredibly swift.
"So, the one that attacked Fengcheng Base wasn't a zombie king, but this monster connected to the Capital City..."
His eyes, sharp as a hawk's, scanned the distance. "My old friend Qin Li, what exactly are you plotting..."
The Capital City Base was clearly controlled by Qin Li. They had created such a terrifying monster themselves and then, under the guise of extermination, were going to eliminate it.
There was definitely a big conspiracy at play here.
"Commander, don't you think it's strange?" Luo Xiao Le suddenly asked.
"If they could control the monster, they would definitely know that it has been destroyed by us. Yet, this fax still claims that surrounding areas were attacked by a 'zombie king'..."
"This means they have more than one such monster," Luo Xiao Le sighed.
Just eliminating this one had taken all her strength, even requiring her to shower buffs on the carnivorous plants for help, and the guns and cannons she wielded had made her hands bleed profusely.
If multiple monsters were allowed to act simultaneously in the end...
She couldn't handle it!
"Commander, I'm afraid I have to go to the Capital City..."
Zhou Shou Shan's expression was grave.
He understood Luo Xiao Le's intention: to go and eliminate these monsters one by one before they could run rampant.
Otherwise, when the monsters gathered, it would be the true, never-ending doomsday for this world!
"Have you made up your mind?"
"Yes." Luo Xiao Le nodded. She had come to understand that even if they wanted to live peacefully in the apocalypse, there would always be people who, for their own selfish desires, would cause trouble for others.
It was like Cheng Miao and his senior brother, like Zhou Kai Feng, and now even the leaders of the Capital City Base.
If these people were not dealt with, Luocheng Base would continue to be in danger, and the apocalypse would never know peace.
"But I need an excuse now..." Luo Xiao Le rubbed her temples.
According to Zhou Shou Shan, she was already quite famous, and many bases already knew of her.
If she went to the Capital City Base with great fanfare, wouldn't that alert the enemy?
"Knock knock knock." At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Commander, it's young master Qin Ming Yang."
Zhou Shou Shan glanced at the door, a smile playing on his lips.
"Your excuse has arrived."
