The sight of the dense zombie horde outside made everyone's scalp crawl uncontrollably!
Compared to the sheer number here, the zombies in the cave earlier were like a mere drop in the ocean!
The moment Luo Xiao Le appeared, some of the zombies that were still dazed or even asleep suddenly opened their eyes in unison and looked at her.
Luo Xiao Le felt as if she had drunk ten bottles of Shuang Huang Lian oral liquid simultaneously; it was incredibly bitter.
What was this blood curse? How could it be so powerful!
In the apocalypse, to cast a blood curse on others and transfer the exit to a zombie horde, the person who did it was truly inhumane!
"This... Xiao Le, what should we do..." Old Li and the others had never seen such a scene; they were all trembling with fear.
Let alone them, even the elite squad members who had completed many other missions couldn't help but swallow hard...
The number was absolutely unheard of!
What was even more insane was:
"Hiss!" "Poof!" "Whoosh!"
Mutated snake zombies, tentacle parasite zombies, even bat zombies, and the mutated zombies they had seen before at the school's clock tower were all here!
They had truly stumbled into a hornet's nest of zombies!
Those mutated snake zombies writhed their bodies, their black-green tongues flicking as they rapidly approached.
"Alert!" Luo Xiao Le commanded quickly.
Lin Xia immediately erected a wind wall in front of everyone, "Bang!"
The first wave of snake zombies charged forward and crashed into it!
Other ability users gradually regained their senses. Those with shielding abilities, like Lin Xia, quickly reinforced their defenses.
The attacking zombies were simply too numerous. Countless snake bodies slammed against the ability walls in front of them. Finding they couldn't break through, they became enraged. Their tails stood erect, their bodies stiffened, and they attacked again.
"Heavens... the sky!" Old Li and the others pointed at the giant bat zombies in the sky with extreme terror.
"They're diving down!"
The bat zombies were too massive for the other ability users' attacks to be very effective. In the wild, if they unfortunately encountered such zombies, they would usually quickly seek refuge in narrow spaces.
"Get down!" Luo Xiao Le shouted rapidly.
Everyone instantly bent down.
"Swish!" Luo Xiao Le's great bell flew out from above everyone's heads.
It rolled precisely over the two bat zombies, and half of their bodies instantly vanished in mid-air...
Their massive bodies crashed down from the sky, snagging on nearby branches...
There was movement nearby. Mo Chen leaped forward and instantly decapitated a tentacle zombie that was stealthily attacking from the side, his silver blade flashing.
With another flick of his hand, the spines of several mutated zombies were also severed!
"Gurgle..." The zombies choked their last breaths.
For a moment, the scene seemed to be stuck on repeat.
"Front!" Everyone frantically used their abilities to defend and attack the zombies.
"Sky!" Luo Xiao Le swung her bell wildly, like a donkey on a millstone, desperately spinning and swinging.
"Behind!" Mo Chen and Wang Biao gritted their teeth and hacked at the zombies.
Ignoring the bloody scene before them and the endless waves of zombies, from a distance, it looked like a scene of primitive humans laboring with massive tools, diligently toiling and dripping with sweat...
This scene lasted for a full 30 minutes.
Everyone's stamina plummeted drastically.
Not to mention Luo Xiao Le; she felt like her hands were no longer her own.
The number of zombies in front of them finally began to dwindle...
"The... last few!" Luo Xiao Le gritted her teeth.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Gunshots rang out from not far away.
The crowd turned back in surprise.
Many soldiers in the uniforms of the Luocheng Base, armed with rifles, rapidly approached and quickly eliminated the remaining zombies!
"Clang!" Luo Xiao Le collapsed onto the ground with relief.
Her hands were definitely useless now.
But she wasn't worried. As long as she could unlock body modifications, nothing would be a problem.
"Little friend Xiao Le!" Zhou Shoushan's resonant voice called out.
The commander himself had come!
The elite squad members were all surprised. This Luo Xiao Le seemed to have quite some influence...
"This place isn't far from where you were on your mission. We just happened to be coming to meet you and came over when we heard the commotion," explained Zhou Shoushan's personal guard.
"Did you deal with these zombies?"
"You've helped the base immensely! We just found out that these mutated zombies are endless and have a nest. You actually went and poked the nest directly?" The guard's eyes were filled with disbelief!
Zhou Shoushan saw the countless ability users who had been rescued around him. A look of great surprise flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he smiled with relief, his eyes seeming to glisten with tears.
"It's good that you're safe. It's good that you're safe."
After confirming Luo Xiao Le and the others were unharmed, Zhou Shoushan then led his soldiers back to the barrier to inspect the situation at the stronghold.
"We've also brought your remaining teammates," the guard said, leading someone back.
Luo Xiao Le saw it was the ring thief.
"Hmph, you little thief!" Pi Jiajia recognized the person and kicked him, sending him sprawling to the ground.
"Give me back my ring!"
The person refused, so Pi Jiajia punched him a few more times before he became compliant.
He pulled out the familiar-looking ring from his embrace and returned it to Pi Jiajia.
Pi Jiajia was satisfied, put on her ring again, and felt the power within it.
"Thank you, Xiao Le. I almost thought I'd never get my ring back."
"Let me see your hand. Why are you grimacing like that?"
Luo Xiao Le quickly raised her hand.
A surge of green light passed over it, and Pi Jiajia frowned.
"The external wound is healed, but why can't your ten-year-old rheumatism be cured..."
"Ah, it's fine. We can talk about that later."
However, looking at Pi Jiajia, Luo Xiao Le suddenly understood something.
Pi Jiajia's green light ability was indeed different from others. Others activated their abilities through themselves, but Pi Jiajia's ability seemed to be entirely attached to the ring; if it was stolen, it was gone.
Did Zhou Kaifeng at that time want others to collect rings with the intention of stealing abilities?
Luo Xiao Le tucked the ring on her neck, which had already become a necklace, deeper into her clothes.
...
After a while, Zhou Shoushan and his group returned with somber expressions.
"The stronghold has been relocated again."
The clue to the Azure Dragon Gang was broken again.
"Do you need information about the Azure Dragon Gang?" Pi Jiajia asked, approaching at this moment.
"Oh? It's you. Long time no see," Zhou Shoushan recognized Pi Jiajia.
"Greetings, Commander!" Pi Jiajia quickly greeted him. "I still have their common communicator with me, so I can get news. However, I'm just a regular soldier, so the information I receive probably isn't classified."
"This..." Zhou Shoushan raised an eyebrow and looked at Luo Xiao Le.
Luo Xiao Le indicated that Pi Jiajia was trustworthy and could indeed provide help.
"No problem. Even a small clue would be very helpful to us," Zhou Shoushan smiled kindly. "I'll ask this of you, little classmate. We will give you generous rewards."
Pi Jiajia quickly waved her hands. "It's nothing, it's what I should do."
Zhou Shoushan nodded and instructed other soldiers to help up the ability users.
"Let's go home."
