Chapter 448: Chapter 447: The Great Battle

Someone even stuck their head out in panic and said downwards, "This height and strength of the earthen wall can’t stop that behemoth at all!"

Su Mo listened and quickened her climb, soon reaching the top alongside Lu Chen.

The grand scene within her field of vision made her heart skip a beat.

The massed horde of zombies, led by filthy mutant dogs with a Samoyed at the forefront and that giant Level 6 zombie she was all too familiar with amidst the throng, were not out of the ordinary to her.

She knew who was responsible for destroying Gucheng City. Her intuition was terrifyingly accurate.

The little person sitting on the shoulder of that giant felt so familiar.

Lu Chen reflexively embraced her and spun around, using his own body to shield her, his tone obviously panicked, "We need to get down".

"Lu Chen, maybe we can resolve this without a fight," Su Mo tugged at the hem of his waistcoat, feeling the tense body of the man in front of her.

He was afraid.

Yes, he was afraid.

"Don’t worry," Su Mo patted his back, endeavoring to look up in his arms, casting her gaze onto the approaching horde of zombies.

The overpowering stench and the vicious appearance of the zombies caused those above to feel fear and to shrink back at the same time.

"They’re about to attack! Look out! They’re attacking!"

Within Su Mo’s field of vision, the Level 6 Giant Zombie suddenly quickened its pace, its pale pupils fixed directly on the fragile gate.

There was only a metal net and a weak earthen wall there.

"It’s going to attack the gate! Attack, attack!" soldiers on the wall bellowed madly as bullets cascaded down in the first instant.

A dense hail of bullets and superpower users unleashed their abilities all at once.

The battle had begun.

The first wave consisted of high-level superpower users who, under the command and coordination of Rong Bai, suppressed the zombies for a brief period, preventing them from nearing the refugee camp.

Although bullets didn’t hurt the Level 6 Zombie much, the impact impeded its steps.

Yang Yichu, sitting on the shoulders of the giant, was neither sad nor happy, showing no emotional fluctuations regarding the zombies falling around him, only emitting piercing shrieks through his small mouth.

It was like a demonic chant, dictating the direction of the zombie horde.

The formerly somewhat sluggish horde, like a bug had accelerated them, collapsed at the forefront only to be quickly replaced.

Their speed more than doubled.

The first group of superpower users quickly depleted their energy, and the next wave rapidly took their place.

This war of attrition could only disadvantage the refugee camp.

But Lu Chen held her hand tightly, as if she might vanish the next second.

Su Mo wasn’t sure if Yang Yichu had spotted her, but she still said, "Lu Chen, let’s help, okay? I promise I won’t do anything reckless".

Her soft and gentle tone finally made the man relax his posture as he warned in a cold voice, "Don’t leave my sight".

"I promise you."

Zhao Changsheng also arrived at that time, launching Thunder Ball after Thunder Ball from her hands down below, not forgetting to look back and say, "You two keep dawdling and the zombies will be knocking on our door".

Her words were effective.

When Su Mo looked down, the first wave of zombies had already approached the gate, but the gigantic zombie didn’t continue its assault and instead just mingled within the horde, staring from a distance.

Yang Yichu stopped, his pale pupils unwavering as they fixed on the woman atop the high wall; for a moment, his long-dead heart that could no longer beat seemed to quicken with rhythm.

He opened his mouth as if to speak, but the words hovered on the tip of his tongue without ever being uttered.

Without intentionally restricting the zombies’ movement, the scent of fresh blood atop the high wall set all the zombies into a frenzy, swarming in like dark clouds approaching.

At that moment, the sun hanging high in the sky was obscured by clouds.

A Level 4 zombie crawling on all fours leaped up and climbed onto the high wall, ascending rapidly.

Rong Bai, seeing this, began to shimmer with a golden light all over his body, a long spear and shield materializing in his hands as he shouted, "Power Element and melee superpower users attack! They’re coming up!"

All the long-range superpower users were swapped out, replaced by Power and Speed Element superpower users who faced the countless zombies head-on, plunging the platform atop the earthen wall into utter chaos.

Lu Chen’s Ice Blade condensed in his hand, cleaving off the adversary’s head, while Su Mo wasted no time, with more strange creatures climbing up by the second, her right hand transforming into a spindle and her left wielding a Tang Blade, fully engaged.

Her movements were swift, and with every flash of her figure, several zombies would fall, her harvesting speed astonishing to behold.

With every fallen zombie, her battle spirit surged even greater.

Su Mo slipped unconsciously into a bizarre state, finding delight in the slaughter, which made her blood boil with excitement.

The zombies under her command were so weak they could scarcely land a blow.

But their numbers never diminished, only increased.

An attrition war could not last many rounds, and Su Mo’s Jasmine Tea could only be provided to those around her, with most superpower users still relying on Crystal Stones to absorb energy; however, the recovery speed was far from enough to match the expenditure.

The number of zombies climbing over the wall continued to rise, and small mounds of corpses began piling up on the high platform.

"Damn it! You’re hurt!"

A superpower user, caught off guard, was bitten on the arm and fell to his knees in pain. Seeing this, Su Mo called out urgently to Lu Chen, "I’m going to help, hold them off for a moment."

She rushed over, pulled the superpower user’s hand without a second thought, and chopped it off with her Tang Blade.

"Ah!"

The agonizing screams did not deter Su Mo; she found a Fire Ability User, heated her Tang Blade red-hot, and cauterized the amputated limb.

In the murky air, the scent of charred flesh filled Su Mo’s nostrils. The Tang Blade could clear the zombie virus from the blood, and after successfully saving his life, the superpower user was carried away.

Su Mo had just heaved a sigh of relief when she turned and witnessed a scene that struck terror into her heart.

"Zhao Changsheng!"

As monsters continuously scaled the walls and launched ambushes, a Level 4 Zombie’s Long Tongue latched onto Zhao Changsheng’s waist while she was caught off guard and began dragging her down toward the base of the wall.

Li Qian, without a second thought, leaped down after her.

"Damn it!"

Su Mo ran to the edge of the wall, decapitated a climbing zombie with one slash, and yelled at Lu Chen, "I need to go down and help! They won’t be able to handle it!"

She leapt down directly, followed closely by a grim-faced Lu Chen.

Upon reaching the ground, Su Mo was immediately surrounded by a horde of zombies, with Ice Shields blocking attacks from all sides.

With a man providing cover, Su Mo ran straight in the direction of Zhao Changsheng.

Rong Bai’s Gold Element Superpower spear transformed into arrows, continuously clearing a path for Zhao Changsheng, who was trapped, allowing for a successful rendezvous with Su Mo.
