Chapter 71: Clean Up The Zombies

Walking out of the base, Zhu Lin looked back at the slowly closing gate, and asked, "Did he just say that a group of soldiers was wiped by a swarm of mosquitoes last night?"

Xiu Wu nodded and said, "I think the mutated mosquitoes must become very dangerous if it can wipe out a group of trained soldiers."

Hearing this, Tan Wei let out a long sigh and said, "Even those small mosquitoes can kill people now. This simply won’t let people survive, ah."

After saying that, Tan Wei looked at their surroundings and asked, "Have you guys noticed that there are more zombies around the base today?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked around at the same time. As Tan Wei said, there were more zombies around the base than before today.

Xiu Wu frowned slightly and said, "This is not good."

Tilting her head slightly, Zhu Lin looked at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiu Wu pointed to the nearest zombie and said, "That zombie is only two hundred meters away from the wall of the base. Normally, there are no zombies within two kilometers from the wall of the base. Since zombies are always attracted by the smell of humans and there is a tendency to gather together, it is very dangerous to let these zombies roam around the wall for a long time. When a large group of zombies gather in one place, it will be too late for the base to take action."

When Ji Yang heard Xiu Wu’s words, he frowned and said, "I heard the day when many people suddenly suffered from heat stroke, in addition to countless civilians, many soldiers also lost their lives. Besides, because of the lack of supplies and coupled with the hot temperature, the soldiers are overwhelmed and have no extra energy to clean up the nearby zombies around the base. Don’t they also lack the manpower to take care of those bodies in the outer ring area?"

Xiu Wu nodded, and added: "In addition to the risk of plague, if no one comes to clean up the zombies, I’m afraid there will be a zombie wave in the near future."

As soon as these words came out, both Tan Wei and Ji Yang felt chills running down their spines. In the second month after the apocalypse, many small bases were destroyed by zombie waves. At that time, people thought that as long as there is a place to live and food to eat, there is no need for them to fight the zombies.

Unfortunately, reality is far from what they imagined. In just two weeks, the number of casualties exceeded half of the total number of survivors at that time. After that dark month, each base will send a team to clean up the nearby zombies regularly before they could form a zombie wave.

As for the cities, no one has the energy to deal with the zombies there. More than three months have passed, and the supernatural beings can only dare to venture on the outskirts of the cities in search of supplies.

Looking at the zombies that were slowly approaching the wall of the base, Xiu Wu looked at the others and said, "Since we are here to obtain more crystal nucleus, let’s clean up the nearby zombies first, and then hunt down some mutants after that."

Agreeing to his suggestion, Tan Wei and Ji Yang formed a team, while Xiu Wu, Zhu Lin and Tu Tu formed another team. Xiu Wu looked at his two best friends and said, "We will go to the right side, and you two can go to the left side."

Ji Yang and Tan Wei nodded, and then they walked towards the nearest zombie on their left side. Seeing that Tan Wei had already burned the first zombie, Ji Yang took out a dagger to dig out the crystal nucleus, while Xiu Wu looked at Zhu Lin and said, "Let’s begin."

Zhu Lin nodded to him, and the two of them walked towards the zombie group on the right side, with Tu Tu following closely behind. Seeing that there were a lot of zombies around, Zhu Lin said, "Xiu Wu, you take care of this side, and I will go to that side. It will be faster to clear out the zombies if we work separately."

Xiu Wu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Be careful."

"Mhm."

After speaking, Zhu Lin looked at Tu Tu and said, [Tu Tu, help me pick up the crystal nucleus later.]

Tu Tu nodded and said, [Yes, Master.]

Feeling the rabbit’s excitement, Zhu Lin smiled slightly. She took out Bing Jian from the ice flower pendant and pulled it out of the scabbard. As she held Bing Jian in her hand, her divine energy circulated throughout her body for a moment, then she activated the Thousand Moon Steps technique and the Heavenly Eyes technique at the same time.

Three seconds later, she pulled out a string of spiritual energy from her dantian and restored her divine power back to her dantian, then Zhu Lin directed the spiritual energy to her feet and jumped forward.

In the next second, she disappeared from there and appeared thirty meters away. With a slight smile on her lips, she rushed to the group of zombies, shuttled among them, and beheaded them one after another.

Slash~ Slash~ Pluk.. Pluk..

When the sole of her shoes touch the dusty ground again, more than ten zombies fall to the ground with severed heads at the same time. Behind her, Tu Tu was busy digging out the crystal nucleus from the zombies’ brain. Zhu Lin glanced back at her rabbit for a second, before she jumped towards the next group of zombies.

At the same time, Xiu Wu had just killed a group of zombies. He looked at the rotten meat and black blood scattered on the ground for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Ji Yang on the other side.
