Chapter 258: Defensive Sword Formation

After speaking, Zhu Lin took out one hundred and eight mini flags from her spiritual palace. Seeing the flags in her hand, Xiu Wu chuckled and said, "Lin’er, you are using the defensive sword formation to defend this base. Isn’t it a bit overkill?"

Zhu Lin looked at him and said, "I am too lazy to set up another formation. It’s best to use stronger formations to ensure the safety of the base. Moreover, the defensive sword formation is very flexible and easy to use. If Ji Yang decides to expand the base again in the future, I only need to adjust the scale of the formation without the need to set up a new formation."

Hearing what she said, Xiu Wu smiled and asked, "Do you need my help?"

She shook her head and said, "This formation requires divine energy. Unless we alter the formation, you won’t be able to use your energy to set up this formation."

Xiu Wu sighed and said disappointedly: "I think I need to create new formations when I have free time. Otherwise, you will think I am useless now."

Zhu Lin rolled her eyes when she heard this and began to arrange a new formation. After finishing the preparations, she used ink made from the charcoal of the Bodhi tree to draw the formation on the ground. Seeing her busy drawing the defensive sword formation on the ground, Xiu Wu stood aside and patiently watched her drawing.

It didn’t take long for Zhu Lin to complete the formation. After making simple adjustments to the formation, Zhu Lin placed one hundred and eight flags on the formation. A few minutes later, she formed a hand seal and in the next second, the formation lit up.

As the flags lit up one after another, the complex spells combined into the defensive sword formation were activated one by one. When all the flags and the spells were lit up, Zhu Lin clasped her hands together and the formation rose into the sky. As the formation floats in the air, the size of the formation continues to increase.

A few minutes later, the formation had covered the entire Wu Lin base. Seeing that the formation was large enough, Zhu Lin formed a seal and said, "Defensive sword formation, eighth moves. Sword barrier."

As soon as she finished speaking, the formation was activated, and an ice-blue barrier slowly covered the entire Wu Lin base from the sky to the underground, forming a perfect sphere shape. After the barrier was completed, she sighed and said, "With my current level of cultivation, it is not easy to use this defensive sword formation."

Looking at her slightly pale face, Xiu Wu held her arm to support her and said, "Your face doesn’t look good. Let’s go back now."

Feeling a little tired after exhausting her divine energy, Zhu Lin nodded in agreement, and then the two of them returned to the villa. As the third cold wave arrived in the world, the temperature outside the Wu Lin base finally reached an astonishing number of minus seventy-five degrees Celsius.

Currently, except for those high-ranked zombies, mutants, and supernatural beings, no living beings can survive outside. Because of this, five days after the last cold wave swept the world, Ji Yang announced that the base would provide rations to the residents of the Wu Lin Base.

When the news was released, people’s uneasiness slowly disappeared. Thanks to the benevolence of the leaders and the efforts of the residents, the Wu Lin Base has gradually become self-sufficient. While the residents of the Wu Lin base live a happy life, the survivors outside are fighting for their lives every day.

Hiding in an abandoned building not far from S City, Lei Zhicheng looked at the map spread out on the ground. He studied the map for a while, then looked at the youngest member and asked, "Jinxuan, how many supplies do we have right now?"

Ke Jinxuan took a look inside his space and said, "The supplies can last for another month, but the gasoline can’t last much longer. Due to the difficult terrain and extremely cold weather, we use more gasoline than usual."

After hearing his answer, Lei Zhicheng looked at the map again. After a moment of silence, he tapped on the map and said, "Our current location is still more than eight hundred kilometers away from the Wu Lin base. Under normal circumstances, we can reach the Wu Lin base within a few days. But now, we need at least a few weeks before we can arrive at the Wu Lin base."

After hearing what he said, the vice-captain looked at the map, clicked on a location, and said, "There should be a gas station nearby this location. We can collect more gasoline and then go to the Wu Lin base."

Lei Zhicheng heard the vice-captain’s suggestion and said, "Ziyu’s suggestion is good. But if there is no gasoline at the gas station, we will not be able to reach the Wu Lin base with the remaining gasoline after making a detour."

As soon as he said this, everyone fell into silence.

A few minutes later, one member said, "Captain, I agree with Brother Bai. If we don’t go to the gas station, we won’t have enough gasoline to get to the Wu Lin base. Since it’s impossible to get there with our current supplies, why not bet on going to the gas station first? If we can’t find gasoline there then we can just walk to the Wu Lin base. In the end, if we can’t find more gasoline, we still have to go to the Wu Lin base on foot."

After hearing what he said, Lei Zhicheng nodded and said, "Since Zujian also agrees with Ziyu’s suggestion, we will go to the gas station first and then go to the Wu Lin base."

After making the decision, Lei Zhicheng and the others rested for a while and then drove to the gas station between S City and Wu Lin Base. While they were on the way to the gas station, Lei Tiliang was reading reports in his office at the headquarters of the secret organization.
