Chapter 152: Base defence
Suddenly, light shot out of the ball formed of a dense amount of monsters.
Even under the sun, the red light was really eye catching and it even caused the sky to lose its color.
After the light was flames.
Li Qiang and the others who wanted to retreat saw scenes of people burning bodies in one hit for the first time.
In the past, one could only experience such visual effects from movies and their special effects. Those things were occurring right in front of them, making them forget the fear of death. They stared closely.
The monsters that were so aggressive had now turned into black ash. Deep blade marks appeared on the ground and anything that was in the path of the mark was sliced open.
Black ash and broken limbs formed a shocking scene.
A person stood in the middle, shield on the left and blade on the right!
“That, it is Ye…”
The mouth of a survivor was a little dry. He wanted to say something to express his current thoughts but he noticed that he couldn’t even say a single thing.
Li Qiang thought that Ye Zhongming was unbelievably strong before. But now he understood that he had underestimated him. This young man’s strength had reached a level that he couldn’t understand. He also didn’t understand what that strike was.
Ye Zhonming panted and his chest went up and down with his breathing. Due to the high temperature, the blood and flesh dried up and stuck to his clothes to make him look really dirty.
But be it the survivors on the ruins or the mutated life forms on the other side, no one underestimates him because of that. Even the normal zombies with no intellect looked afraid. This was an instinct, a fear in their bones of someone that was strong.
Those level two mutated life forms even retreated, pulling open the distance between Ye Zhongming and them. They were really afraid. They had some intellect and could sense far more than their other low level monsters that this guy was a killing god.
The entire battlefield became eerily silent.
Ye Zhongming had used the Light Seal Blademaster’s combined skill, Seal: Flame Blade.
The difference with when he was a one star evolved was that he used it three times at once in three directions.
Two star evolution improved all areas of the body. The job skill needed the survivor to have a job but when he used the skills, the strength of it was connected to the user’s strength.
When Ye Zhongming was one star, he could only use the job skill twice. Even then he might run out of mental energy.
Now that he was two star, his mental energy increased. Although he couldn’t use the Seal: Flame Blade four times, but three times was fine.
Moreover, this move was even quicker and it was much stronger.
He didn’t use Summoning Technique previously as he did not want to consume mental energy.
This strike was really effective.
“Ye, Boss Ye, time is enough.”
Li Qiang’s face flushed red. Although this person wasn’t him, but he was a human and he felt glory. He was even stammering when he spoke.
Ye Zhongming looked coldly at the zombie hoard and mutated life forms. He turned around and stepped onto the ruins, disappearing from the field of sight of the monsters.
A moment later, there was an intense explosion as both buildings were ignited. Giant ruins blocked the south region from the other areas and blocked the monsters.
In the distance, Captain Ye was still thinking back to Ye Zhongming’s strike. His face twisted and his body shook before he roared towards the sky.
There wasn’t a sound but it sent the zombies and mutated monsters berserk. They started to attack the base.
“Quick, quick, stack the sandbags.”
“Pour some oil down there.”
“Move the stone to the wall. We do not have many bullets, we have to use this.”
Jia Ming became the busiest person here after the explosion. He ordered the survivors to strengthen the ruins and also to organise defenses in the other regions.
Although many people were confused and even unwilling to listen to this random guy that popped up, but since this zombie siege concerned everyone’s survival, they respected the guy who stepped up. They started to fix the defence. Many people would even automatically defend the areas where the zombies attacked more intensely.
At least from the moral standpoint, it was much better than before.
Only until dawn did the attacks slow down. In the instance that the zombie hoard retreated, the survivors fell to the ground and felt relief.
The base was in danger several times during the day, especially in the south at the ruins. As it was not straight and the height was different, many zombies could climb up. If not for Little Tiger, Mo Ye, Xia Lei etc defending here, the new base would have turned into their food.
Near dusk, many level two monsters attacked, forcing Ye Zhongming who was recovering in the room to step back up and lead his team.
When darkness arrived, both sides stopped. The human death numbers shocked everyone.
Since the chaos of last night, the new base had over three thousand casualties. Most of them were dead and only a few hundred were injured.
This was how cruel the apocalypse was. Sometimes, small injuries, even the smallest of ones resulted in death if one didn’t have the immunity potion…
……………………………………………………………………………………
In a community building in the east were the new leaders of the base.
Ye Zhongming sat in the corner, closing his eyes to rest up. His team was all around as they looked at Jia Ming, Da Ming and Li Qiang as well as the three who performed well today discuss matters.
One of the three was evolved and he was called Le Fei. He was under Chef Jin and he had a good reputation. This was also a reason why he was alive. The other two were people who joined Ye Zhongming to defend the ruins in the morning.
“People that are injured, follow… What Boss Ye said, tie them up.”
